Jump up and down like a spaz while you're fighting and if you're using an iron sword or better you'll kill pretty much everything in two hits.

Vanadium posted:I have the opposite impression, can you explain how you deal with the new skeletons? The closest I can get to not getting hit is dashing in a circle around them until they shoot, then getting a hit in and running off again. Just lure them up close, run around or crouch behind cover until they shoot, and then sprint up to them and smash the poo poo out of them. You might get hit, but you'll get hit less often and fewer times than you would fighting the old skeletons. A head-on assault used to be a suicidally stupid tactic against skeletons unless you had a diamond sword and balls of steel, but now it's perfectly viable and practically foolproof after a bit of trial and error. If all else fails, you can also use your sword to block (right-click) until they shoot you, then rush them. You'll only take half damage and you'll be able to creep towards them while blocking, so it lets you close the gap faster without sacrificing too much health.

So some fuckwit on the official forums just messaged me saying that he is going to use the story line from my adventure maps for his "retail console game". He doesn't want my permission, but he just wanted to let me know that he was going to use it. Such a nice guy. The Minecraft community really is amazing.

And what browser are you using? You might have to have minimal things running depending on things, and perhaps even upgrade to Java 7 and have the ViewDistance set to a low setting so it doesn't use memory for chunks/rendering. VVV Any trees and wild grass? Cut down a tree, cut down the grass, plant trees, hoe ground, stand still for 3 ingame days to get 1 bread. Repeat until you have a farm. Doing poo poo just makes you hungry. On Easy/Normal you stay alive while hungry, Hard you die. No grass, dig down. No Trees, you're hosed.

I've got a question for anyone that can answer it. I used a seed to generate a map with just a few small-ish islands in a vast ocean. The problem is that there aren't any animals spawning at all on any island. Also, my hunger bar is always at max. I don't have to ever worry about food because it just never goes down, which means I never need to heal. I hope it's not a problem with the map itself, since I really like the map. A look in MCEdit shows that it's got the biggest jumbled mess of an abandoned mineshaft I've ever seen, which literally fills the whole map. I haven't even dug down into it yet.

If they do, they have a really low chance of spawning. I think it has something to do with the new animal farming thing Notch is currently tweaking. Animals don't spawn after the first batch, but they also don't despawn.

Did you switch it to peaceful by mistake? In theory you could explore far enough to get out of the ocean biome, locate a bunch of chickens, collect as many egg as possible, then return and use them to spawn chickens at your farm.

It's daunting to think that I have to explore that eventually. EDIT: Here's some Cartographer renders:   After looking at it from this angle, the mineshafts are smaller than they looked in MCEdit.

I've never understood the need to completely explore a system of caves. I just treat them like the overworld: go in when I need something, carve out a small area, torch it, then leave. It's just too big to try to be feasible.

There's a certain extra joy in taming a wicked underground system since it's so much more involved than the overland. I like keeping the caves organic but adding little civilizing touches until it's like taking a trip through Luray caverns.

I've been finding a bunch of mineshafts at perfect diamond level. Never before had I found 10 diamonds so quickly. Furthermore, where the gently caress do I find slimes? I found one, once. That was it, never again.

I've got some cool plans for the mineshafts. Unfortunately, only 1 extremely small cave hits the surface where my island is, but there's an underground ravine that just barely breaks the surface right at the ocean's edge. The far end of it stops less than a dozen blocks short of a dungeon room with a spider spawner, which is down the hall from the mineshafts. I have an idea. I'm going to build an island paradise. On the surface, it will look like a small village with a farm, a few houses, and a dock. For those of us with extra curious perceptions who can find that ravine, I plan on building much, much stranger things for them. I don't know how long it will take me, or where I will go, but it will be worth keeping the map small enough to easily upload and download.

I wish things like mineshafts and fortresses had surface entrances. I'd love to be walking around and find a spooky boarded-up mine entrance, or the ruins of some ancient tower beckoning me to come below. Has notched stated any intentions in regard to villages? I've been spoiled on some awesome village mods and hope notch looks to those. Man I'd so love the ability to hire an NPC one day. I love building things, but it's so lonely. Wanna build some houses and living quarters and have little dudes move in and work.

For me, the cycle seems to go something like this. 1. Get established on a low level on any given survival map. 2. Find cool underground stuff until I find abandoned mines. 3. Immediately feel compulsive urge to light up the whole drat thing, pick up all the free rails, loot all the chests, and smash EVERY SINGLE GOD drat SPIDER SPAWNER. 4. Fail in this, lose some good diamond gear in the process, and start over on a new map. Abandoned mines are the DEVIL. And they are GREAT at dropping poisonous spiders on your head when you least expect it.

Prevent normal mobs, both friendly and hostile, from spawning on the surface. Dig out a giant space near bedrock and light it up. Then wait. On my old 1.7.3 map I got lucky and built my tower right on top of a slime chunk, I probably saw 5-6 or them in the time I was playing, killed them all. Not a single one ever dropped a slime ball. (They were always mini-slimes for some reason.)

Have people figured out an efficient way to deal with poison spiders/spawners yet? Because gently caress them. gently caress them gently caress them gently caress them gently caress them gently caress them. The old spawner tactic of 'clear a path, run in and torch it up' doesn't work so well when there are webs everywhere and I keep taking poison damage.

Water removes webs. You can use this to deal with the ones on the floor. For everything else, bring shears. Swords also work but use up 2 durability per.
