In typical Mojang fashion, they've managed to implement the "persistent animals with no respawn" part of the animal husbandry/farming system they planned without actually implementing the breeding/farming part. So cows/sheep/pigs/chickens now spawn on chunk generation, persist through server restarts... and never respawn once they're killed. Until 1.9, pork, steak, chicken, leather and feathers (since I think they're just drops from chickens now, with zombies only dropping rotten flesh) are finite resources. Wool at least you can craft from string, so it's renewable via spider drops (and you can gather huge amounts of string from the webs in abandoned mine systems, provided you can find your way back out again). arhra fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Sep 16, 2011 |

I found a seed that starts off seemingly boring, but a very small trek in the right direction and you'll see a village on a ridge in the distance. There are cave systems right next to spawn with lots of coal and iron. More excellent caves near the village itself (it's pretty much on top of it). And there are some great scenic mountains near the village as well. If you go to the furthest house from spawn and start exploring the caves downward from there, there is a stronghold to stumble upon. The seed is "winter is coming" I built a ladder down the shaft at -364, 111 and dug through once I hit bottom to continue it (The village is at these coords) I found the stronghold a stone's throw from my ladder at around y:25 depth in the cave system there. edit: I think this isn't so much a stronghold as it is an abandoned mineshaft

They don't seem to despawn like they should. If I don't kill every sheep I sheer, they just mill-around forever. I also found about 10 cows and 5 pigs stuck down a trench just at the edge of my biome. And I've not seen a chicken since I started this map with the new patch.  You might have nothing but squid.

I sorta like it, honestly. Not just because cows no longer spawn in my house, but also because it forces you to setup farms which I never did before. I like them as a finite resource. Although it does effect the feel of the game when the only creatures you ever see around your area are enemies.

I love the idea of farms to get this stuff, cause I hate running around trying to find, say, wool and not running into any sheep for like 10 minutes but finding plenty of stupid cows. Having them all in a pen so I can just go in and sheer them and stuff would be great. Of course, right now it's just "the animals won't respawn/grow back their wool" without the farming/breeding so that's great! Oh well, I can just /give myself the stuff until that situation gets fixed when the problem arises.

I'm guessing you mean wool? You can turn string into wool blocks which was useful for like the first drat time when making a bed on my friends SMP server and there was only one sheep anywhere near the spawn (I had no sheers at the time  )

I have absolutely no problem setting up a farm system if that is indeed how the game is going to go, but taking out respawns before it's ready is rather stupid, no?

I know there's a lot of people out there that are going to hate Minecraft's steady progression into an actual game with a goal. I just hope Mojang implements enough depth and content to the game to make things like classes and levels worthwhile. It'd be disappointing to have a character growth system with no challenge to match with it.

I know that a lot of people don't like subterranean fog, but it makes for some really atmospheric environments sometimes. It also figures that the first NPC village I happen to chance upon would be...flooded.  This would be downright quaint if it weren't in the middle of the desert.  (And yes, I forgot to let the terrain finish rendering in the background. )

arhra posted:Read the OP. To be fair, that doesn't point out the specific problem, which is that going through a portal exits you from the nearest active portal on the other side within a certain range. The bottom line is that surface portals within about 1000 blocks of each other will tend to link to the same Nether portal. This can be avoided by building portals in the Nether, but that requires mining obsidian (a pain), and can result in surface portals in weird or inconvenient locations. I might try to write a more comprehensive guide; that one's rather bare-bones.

I've been playing for over a year now, mostly messing around in single player (on peaceful so it was pretty much virtual lego all the way). I decided to change that with 1.8, so I ventured into the difficulty settings and chose Hard. Holy poo poo! This game! I spawned on a beach, no trees in sight. I had to swim for a while until I found an island with a shitload of trees. Ok, great, now I have the basics to create tools. Armed with my wooden sword and pick , I headed back to my spawn. Not far from the spawn I found an entrance to a huge cave system which was raided by me and my trusty wooden sword. After the creeper/zombie/skeleton apocalypse in the cave system I was equipped with a shitload of coal, iron, gold and one diamond sword. I had to go explore since that seems to be the popular thing to do. Now, my previous way of playing was to find a nice spot to build a shitload of stuff and just go mining in the immediate area. In my travels I found two abandoned villages, stole their crops and kept on going on my way in search of a worthy landscape for my soon to be home. While riding my boat up a river the game suddenly stopped.. Out of memory! Never ever seen this error before. I quit the game and decided to try the "give minecraft the memory it deserves" trick. Why the hell didn't I ever do this before ?? The game jumped from 25fps to 40fps! I just have to recommend that everybody at least tries this if their game is at least bit laggy. (info in the OP) And just so that my post has more than boring text in it, this is my current home:  Texture pack is Summerfield 32x32

Although I'd probably be laughing too hard from seeing a Enderman carrying around a cow.

Having a weird issue on our server. Myself and a few other users have occasionally had an issue where the game will just lock and slow to a dead crawl. Like a 1/10 of a FPS. Restarts, reboots etc doesn't help it and it occurs very very rarely. Anyone else had this issue?

Finite animals wouldn't be an issue for me if zombies still dropped feathers or there was a way to get a lot more wool. I mean, it's great we have webs, but I like building with a lot of wool, and finite sheep are really bumming me out. And arrows? I guess the only source of them longterm will be skeletons themselves, making archery really pretty unsustainable. Food's no issue though- bread is a lot easier to gather in the long run anyway. I hope they patch it so animal spawns go back to the way they were. Husbandry will be awesome, but it's just so stupid to limit animals before we have a way of working with them.

I decided to dust off Minecraft to check out the new update, and  . Started up a new world, was in a swamp biome with a bunch of red and brown mushrooms nearby and not far from the spawn there was a mob spawner room that was hiding a massive abandoned mine behind it. The abandoned mines are pretty sweet. The new food system and zombie meat meant I could cave for a lot longer than it seemed like before with a fresh character.

For anyone having trouble with running out of food - get some eggs and chuck them into an enclosed area (a fenced-in area that's 5x5 inside is plenty) to get some captive chickens; since chickens lay the eggs, they (and feathers) are technically a renewable resource. If you're really hurting for renewability, charcoal (to power a furnace to cook the chicken) is also renewable since it comes from trees.Internet Kraken posted:Harvest what?

So I've started playing Minecraft again after quitting a little bit before pistons were released, and I'm having a bit of a problem. When I destroy or place blocks, the game doesn't seem to visually update that fact until quite awhile later. Often several minutes. Newly placed blocks still block my progress, even though I can't see them at all on my screen. I can pass through recently destroyed blocks, even though they appear to still be there. Sometimes placing torches nearby forces the blocks to update, but not always. This poo poo only started happening since I started back up after that several month break, and it's pretty much completely ruined the game for me. It's pretty difficult to build anything when you can't see what you've placed for 3+ minutes. Anyone know what's up?

My previous world was kind of boring, so I made one with the seed I don't want to live on this planet anymore in hopes of finding a cool mineshaft or stronghold or something. The game put me on a tiny desolate island in the middle of loving nowhere. There were no trees and no animals. I could barely see a couple of islands on the horizon; there was one stunted little tree on each. When I dug a hole to make a little cavehouse, I discovered that I was living directly on top of a rather alarming cave network. When I swam to one of the other islands to chop down a tree and gather up some saplings for sustainable wood production, I discovered there was a spider spawner there. I spent two days straight at half a heart because I had no food whatsoever, ultimately managing to barely survive by murdering zombies and cannibalizing them with ghoulish, ravenous fervor. I'm afraid to waste my stone picks because I don't have any wood to make more, I have to recover and relocate my torches to explore, and whoops now I'm starving again because I encountered a skeleton and I dare not challenge him to gain access to the delicious zombie flesh that surely lies beyond, oh well I guess I'll toil on my little island, barely clinging to life, viciously guarding my four tiny patches of seeded ground and watching my fishing lure sit lifelessly on the surface of the damnable, uncaring ocean. I still have not found a single mushroom or animal - just monsters and starvation as far as the eye can see. Every single second of this game has been a bitter, bloody, screaming, tooth-and-nail scrabble for survival and holy loving poo poo is it fun. Why did I ever play any other way
