I've built an entranceway to my eventually large home of sorts, and I used these sticky piston doors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=346yRSqWot8&NR=1 Is there some way with minimal absurd redstone garbage to make doors like this safe from monsters and baby ducks wandering into my home, or to 'disable' them while I'm inside by pulling a switch?

The one time I tried building double iron doors I realized what a goddamned mess it is to build *any* gate, and how much underground space it requires. I'm having enough of a time wiring up two tone doorbells to these existing gates now. That being said, putting two stone blocks across the middle of the 3x2 doorway when I'm inside results in piles of gunpowder, features and arrows.

Man, sometimes this game pisses me off. I built that door I linked, and a second one not too far away. Two entrances on either side of my eventual big-rear end building on a mountain. There were only about three spaces between the closest section of redstone. I put another line in the middle of them, connecting four total note boxes to make a four-note doorbell. I linked them in from both sides of doors via repeater, added a few more to delay the notes, and everything looked great. I log out to save and fire up fraps, figuring I'll try and do a video of this. Fire it back up, and now all of the doors are hosed, everything is stuck open, and creepers are all like SUP NO DOORS and blowing all my hard work up (along with me). Does 1.7 still have that redstone torches forget they are working bug or something, where I might have to reset a torch to fix a circuit? That poo poo is unacceptable  Moreso because it seems that my buildings all attract about 50% creepers, all day, hoppin' in my poo poo.Night. Maybe tomorrow I'll rebuild this poo poo I wasted an hour+ playing with

Al! posted:Buildable boats in a similar vein to the zeppelin mod would be both incredibly awesome and way beyond Mojang's purview. I imagine the rivers and nearby terrain/trees would not really be big enough for giant boats to go down easily. That'd be a mod along with tweaks to make your rivers monster-wide and give clearance.

A Sassy Dog posted:Is he? He opened saying he was responding to the question of why they aren't on Steam with Minecraft, not why they won't be on Steam with Minecraft. It all seems a bit vague - not necessarily by intent, of course. He also directly says they're talking about it with Valve and uses language like "probably wouldn't [..]" etc. which indicates to me that it's just a tad up in the air at this point. Not that I'm trying to get into a language debate here.. They are not on steam with minecraft because minecraft hasn't even been remotely released yet. He's talking about why they will not be on steam, after minecraft releases. Could you imagine them releasing an update to MC like they recently did, and then having to wait two days before each iteration of the 'fix' comes out before we get to 1.7.3 and it works again? Aside from this being probably the only 'beta but you get the whole game at this price too' game on Steam. I think he *has* to go outside of steam and have the microtransaction thing going, because while they've made more money then they certainly hoped to in pre-selling the game, all of those customers aren't obligated to give him another cent, so he needs an after-market that he can work with.

Stratafyre posted:I can try, I'm looking for the mod now. I'll edit this post if I figure it out. Sorry, prolly better in the modding thread, but technically it's not a mod. Link should be in the OP of one of the threads, but it's a stand-alone program that will read your game map, let you explore it with cludgey controls, and mark a region to copy and save to an external file. It also lets you take a different game map, find a region, and load and place that schematic you previously saved, letting anyone drop your tower into their world, or you drop your tower into your next world.

Vib Rib posted:3. I don't know about permanently but even in these threads plenty of people have talked about stepping away from the game because they fell in lava because of one errant mis-step. I have a feeling that if they took the time to come post about it in a minecraft discussion thread, they'll be playing the game again in the near future. Fortunately, I think minecraft is a good game for playing, leaving, and coming back to play.

Tracula posted:Will sleeping drain your hunger bar? I'm thinking it wont since in vanilla it doesn't technically pass time but with something like Somnia it might become an issue. I don't think anyone knows yet, but what I do know is that someone who wrote Somnia will have to update it to work with 1.8, and regardless of that answer, they will probably come up with their own.

*sigh* something else I'm not getting. I had no food, starved, and lost health real fast until I cooked and ate some pork chops. Now I'm at 8/10 hunger, and have been for much of a game day, but I'm still at half a heart. Hunger not going down, health not going up. Is there something else I'm supposed to do?

Vinigre posted:Double doors are working fine for me. By which I mean they're working the same way they've always worked, which is opening one at a time. Having to run redstone to two adjacent doors instead of one door activation hitting it's neighbor is something that another person fixed in I believe one line of code that was already there, just written wrongly. The point is it's a dumb behavior, especially with redstone being the enormous mess that it is, and it should be fixed.

FirePhoenix posted:I'd rather they hold back 1.8 than release it full of bugs. Glad they're having the sense to do it that way. They should just officially have a policy of releasing the pre-release candidates and letting the community at large find bugs for them, so they can release a stable build instead of 1.7.1,2,3 in quick succession.

Fire posted:I agree that there are way too many mineshafts and not enough strongholds. If there was some unique treasure in strongholds that would be one thing. I suspect the number was jacked up as high as it was to make them easier to find at pax I don't know.. I loving love the hell out of these mineshafts. I got so damned lost, eventually working through a few spider nests (and learning how poison works), becoming thankful for the wood beams underground now (yay wood!), almost dying to falls or attacks a number of times, collecting so much cool poo poo I had to find the surface and holy poo poo where the gently caress am I. Ended up having to dig up, use some ladders and whatnot so it was quicker digging than a whole staircase, and eventually popped up surprisingly close to where I started, but in the ocean of course In my previous game, I'd wall off sections of cave that were explored and empty, putting up signs in various places to point out where place of interest were to make my excursions into the caves more organized. I have absolutely no clue how the gently caress I would map out these mine shafts I got lost in, and I think I like it this way. There's so many ravines and areas that I passed and never explored, and I'll probably never find 'em again. It was a blast.

Vib Rib posted:The only thing is that dying in such a state all but guarantees you'll never recover any of your items. I'll be using a death-chest mod, but I'm fully aware that I may never see my poo poo again if I don't leave a trail, and I'm ok with that, given the coolness of exploring vs. taking everything you can out of tight tunnels and digging long swaths of corridors out at the optimum deep level to try and find poo poo at random. I also can't wait to have ropes modded in again so I can go spelunking properly. OOh and with ravines we need a rope-arrow to create a rope-bridge, because making block bridges is friggen lame.
