Shears waste up a perfectly good inventory slot for another stack of iron or cobble. Diamond swords last forever basically anyway.

wyoming posted:Notch or Jens talked about milk curing poison, no idea if it's in the game yet or not though. Not yet, it isn't. Although I'd kind of prefer the cure to be made from something that the poison spiders themselves dropped. Makes real-world sense and feeds into that idea of only getting the easy path once you've braved the problem it fixes at least once.

How to get slimeballs once you find a slime: Don't attack them with a sword, doing so will kill them without splitting. For whatever reason, slimeballs only drop from the smallest slimes so you absolutely need to hit them only with your fists or other items that do no extra damage. Once they are split to their smallest, you will get slimeballs. You can easily get 10+ slimeballs from a single big slime this way since one big slime will split into 16 small ones. As for finding them, use Rei's Minimap, light a cavern underground and just pray. Slimes are green dots on the entity minimap so if you see one, hightail your way to them.

Shears are WAY faster, or at least seem that way. By the time I'm deep enough underground to care about one more slot, I have enough loot to want to focus on just leaving anyway.

Strange stuff. This happened to me in new chunks generated after 1.9, but on a 1.8 world. Glitch? New biome? I would be interested to know.

I have a couple of questions. If I were to buy Minecraft now and install it on my computer, would I be able to install it onto another computer later? Also, are the system requirements on Minecraft classic similar to the most recent version? I have a crappy computer but Minecraft Classic seems to work pretty well for me.

I really wish the cobwebs could be harvested or crafted from string. I'd really like to be able to use them on survival without cheating. I keep checking the 1.9 list on the wiki hoping that it gets added but no luck.

Yes, it's hilariously liberal about that sort of thing. The installation is entirely independent of any account, you just get a login screen every time you start the game, and if it's the first time on that computer, it installs it. If you can't login for whatever reason, you even get to play in offline mode. quote:Also, are the system requirements on Minecraft classic similar to the most recent version?

FirePhoenix posted:How to get slimeballs once you find a slime: Basically, if you overkill a slime, it won't split. Didn't used to be a problem, because 2 arrows would kill a big one perfectly, 1 arrow would kill the medium ones perfectly, and punching would kill the harmless little ones. Now what I do is fire 1 fully charged arrow at a large one, and punch and punch and punch. I die a lot more in 1.8

So, I was thinking about abandoning my 1.8 project for 1.9-pre, but then I saw something about 1.10 being out soon. Does anyone know if 1.10 will require map-gen? I could probably skip 1.9 at this point if 1.10 will require new maps.

Yes, you got it wrong. It doesn't mean that 1.10 will come immediately, it just means that the Adventure Update will not be feature complete until 1.10.

It's basically just a netbook with less RAM and a slightly shittier graphics. Still won't play it well, but it's not "LOL, won't run XP or Chrome" bad.

If it's got a 32 meg graphics card, odds are it's a Pentium 3 or Pentium M, so those 1.5 Ghz are nowhere near as fast as an atom clocked at that rate.

He first wanted it to happen on 11th but then realized that to book a place in Las-loving-Vegas this late you would have to construct your own hotel first. I doubt they'd release a 1.11 just one week before the release.

So it's probably because I'm an idiot but I can't seem to find any great tutorials or howtos on how to create a good indoor animal farm for food purposes. Would I be better off just spending the extra time to create a big, multi-level mob farm with lava? I just want some food.

Get lots and lots of chicken eggs, throw them into a pen to attempt to hatch more chickens. When you've got a fucktonne of chickens, you can murder them for tasty meat while still keeping some egg-layers around. Chickens can suffocate in opaque blocks though, so be sure to fence them in with actual fence posts so they don't push eachother into walls and die.

The only exception is chickens which can spawn from eggs. Other than that, you can make a fish pond.

Since we're sharing farm designs, here's my first significant foray into using pistons, for wheat and sugarcane farming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebKwAR7oNH8 I'm sure I could make the sugarcane more efficient (as in easier to collect) but I'm not 100% sure if it's possible without expanding the building. Edit: The wheat farm has been altered since then to better conceal the redstone, and there are several water blocks under the glass wall blocks to keep the farmland irrigated. Also, my melon/pumpkin farms again that I posted a couple weeks ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NII_T6SFT_M I'm not entirely sure there's not an easier way to collect these (outside of mods) but the total harvest is pretty good.

Yeah, I know. :/ The video card and system ram will probably kill your chances. Less than £200 Will get an AMD Zacate e350 APU board with 8GB+ of ram, small case, PSU and DVD burner. Would be a major upgrade for you and doubles as a the heart of a home cinema system or a solid office rig. Now people have run crysis 2 flawlessly on those tiny dual core 1.6Ghz x86_64 chips with the integrated Radeon 6130 GPU but they struggle a bit on Minecraft in full 1080p. Works better if you connect to a separate server so you don't have to worry about chunk generation.
