So my nephews came by for a week, and the first thing out of their mouths upon getting the hellos out of the way was "Hey uncle Boat, have you heard of Minecraft?" I spent basically the entire week playing Minecraft, LEGO, and swimming. It pretty much ruled. Anyway, they brought their XBOX 360 and we played pretty much exclusively on that. You should all thank your lucky stars you've got the computer version. On top of the usual Minecraft bugginess, there are a slew of XBOX only bugs. Since we played in 4-up split screen, only the first player could hear noteblocks. I was trying to make a song, and every time I had to time it, I'd have to wait for my nephew to come over since if he was out of range, everything was silent.  On the plus side, it held for rain too, so as long as he was underground we all got to avoid the constant rain hiss. I'm just utterly boggled that transposing a game as buggy as Minecraft to another system not only imported all the existing bugs, but created so many new bugs as well. Goddamn.

Even my nephew, the younger of the two, can do things like make walls and fly around, ride rollercoasters, etc. My niece understands a bit more about the game but I still help her out with things like circles and spheres.

Something breaks through the fence? Pistons reveal dispensers which start spamming arrows until turned off.

Right now you just have to settle for spiraling it upwards slowly. edit: I mean, if you don't have glowstone. Or can you do something with torches?

You can stack redstone torches to do vertical redstone. Basically torch, block, torch, block, and so on, with the torches being on top of the blocks. Each step the signal gets inverted, so plan accordingly.

After only my second attempt to get it, I now have a Fortune III diamond pick. It also came with Efficiency IV, but that's kind of useless on such a pick. It would have been nice to get Unbreaking instead, but oh well. Now should I start my strip mine now, or should I wait a month for 1.3 to get all that sweet, sweet experience?

I wish they'd just let me combine a fence to make a vertical redstone column transmitter. That or 9 redstone in a grid to form the redstone block for 6-directional transmitter and also cool red colour, but we've all wanted that for ages.

Dispensers can't be pushed because of metadata storage, same reason as why chests can't be pushed. The Minecraft engine doesn't have any comprehension of how to deal with moving tile (title?) entities around.

Then once 1.3 comes out, go down and start digging out all the gold and diamonds with your enchanted pick. After all, you don't want to waste something like that on just mining stone.

If you're running the 1.3 preview snapshot you can open your single player game to LAN and then get all of the benefits of a cheats enabled multiplayer server in single player. No one needs to join for this to work. Or you can wait for 1.3 and do that.

At the moment it is all shielded from the Ghasts with stone, nether brick and nether brick fence which isn't pretty. I'm wondering if I encase my area in glass instead will the Ghasts shoot at me and break the glass, or will they leave me alone? Skeletons don't try and shoot me through my windows, so I'm thinking I'm safe.

The ghasts won't shoot you through windows; however pigman will spawn in your house unless you use half-slabs due to how nether spawning works (and possibly ghasts if your ceiling is large enough)

Can't fire while it's moving, but they'll still have their junk in 'em. Or does that use some weird poo poo that Jeb and the others might be iffy to put into Minecraft proper?

Desperate Character posted:The ghasts won't shoot you through windows; however pigman will spawn in your house unless you use half-slabs due to how nether spawning works (and possibly ghasts if your ceiling is large enough) Found this out the hard way in a multiplayer server my buddy was running. Spent a few hours making a nice, large room with a nice, large Netherwort farm. Replaced all the ground with sandstone to try and remove some of the eye-searing redness from the joint, then went to try and connect portal 1 to portal 2. After spending awhile doing that, I came back, and through the door into the room I saw a ghast in there. The room was only just big enough for the body. So just this giant white square with eyes loitering in the middle of this nice-looking sandstone garden. It was the weirdest thing and I wish I'd saved the screenshot I took. Well, I had to enter to kill the drat thing, and it ended up opening fire and destroying the door and the wall around it. I don't recall how high the ceiling was, but I want to say 5-6 blocks. I wanted to make it a little less claustrophobic. But that was a mistake. I'd thought changing the ground from Netherrack would just naturally stop random spawns in there, but that most certainly wasn't the case.

How do I make this chunk regenerate on my server? Backups are either way too old, or contain this missing chunk. This is vanilla 1.2.5 server. Edit: And restarting it causes interesting effects

Can you not put on WorldEdit? Because then you can just select the chunk and have it regenerate it.

No. But another option would be to use MCEdit on whatever your latest backup is. Although I'm not sure if it can regen, since I've never tried that. EDIT: I kindof read that wrong. You would use a Bukkit jar, and then install the World Edit plugin (pretty simple to do actually). You can keep your maps the way they are. I've personally started a map for our server, gone vanilla to start on a new map, then installed Bukkit and whatever mods as I went along. I never had to restart our map except when it was just getting too large. IUG fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Jul 3, 2012 |
