Ask me about my STD collection!
1. Pick
2. Shovel
3. Axe
4. Sword
5. Bow
6. [whatever]
7. [whatever]
8. Map
9. Wood Block (used for cave navigation)
0. Torches

Usually other building blocks, maybe a clock in the 'whatever' spots. Minecraft does not play like an FPS to me, so I don't have an FPS mindset. I very rarely find a situation where I can't backtrack for a second to assess the situation and plan out an approach. Quick reactions matter, sure, but not necessarily with regard to combat. I'd rather build a quick wall between me and my quarry, then plan an approach. If I'm going into an exclusive combat situation (taking down a spawner) then I might move my sword/bow up, but the need hasn't arisen yet. I haven't even bothered to make arrows in the game I'm playing now. Building a wall or kiting mobs around a corner has yet to fail.

A PVP server would probably be an entirely different matter.

This next patch has insane amounts of content. Is there a good place to look for a summary of everything that may be a bit more elaborate than the actual patch notes? I'm kind of intimidated. Are there going to be a lot of additions that will make it necessary to start a new world to enjoy the content? I've been holding off on my existing world due to this concern.

All this talk of strange and defaced moons is making me wonder how hard it'd be to fit this one into 32*32 or whatever the standard size is:



Also, a Majora's Mask moon should totally have phases that just make it get bigger and bigger, then suddenly reset to the original size at the end.

edit: And apparently I have strange hotbar habits. I keep a pick in slot one, then a selection of other tools and blocks (depending on what I'm doing), then have bow, sword, torches on the last three slots.

We've all seen surface dungeons on ground level, but how about one embedded into the face of a mountain?



That's exactly how it looked when I found it (other than the little cave below, which is me being an idiot wondering where the spider noises were coming from). Anything other than a spider spawner and I probably would have noticed it a lot sooner than I did.

Gourd Avenger 1 by akito12345 has doubled-up equipment for co-op, and I think 2 does as well. They also made a third map called The Tower of Xotl, and probably did the same there. I can't remember but toggle's maps (The Wizard Burgmund, The Tree of Life and The Return) might have that too. None have any co-op specific puzzles though. If your server can handle it you could play Erek's Water Temple map on Peaceful. That's what I did, and it was pretty cool - the map's more about the story and investigation than combat, so in my opinion you don't lose much by switching to Peaceful. All these maps are linked to in the OP. The full Water Temple map is unavailable because the guy started splitting up each part of the map into its own map and only got halfway through, but I might have a copy of the original.

EDIT: you could also copy and paste the Skyblock a few times in MCEdit for a competitive map.

It looks like when he made it in 1.8 it wasn't a snow biome but it changed in the version you're using.

It makes sense (except for redstone) and I like the challenge it creates. I just wish the items popped out instead of disappearing. And I wish snow looked right on stairs and halfblocks.

I thought that got fixed in pre4?

Anyway, I forgot about the chainworld for a while with all the 1.8 activity, but I am done now and sent it back.

Maybe? Wiki doesn't say it's fixed, I saw the warning in the op for that skyblock map and thought I'd pass it on. I've mostly been playing on an island map since the 1.8 pre-release so I don't have any firsthand experience.
