What I'm wondering is if Java provides a means to call a super method *two levels* (or more) above the current one in the inheritance hierarchy. In case you might be willing to mess with bytecode, the JVM actually supports this without classloaders or runtime bytecode transformers. For backwards co...

That works very well. Those of us who are not quite so rich can use a pair of detector blocks for the trigger.

Dry Paratroopa: I was actually thinking that if feathers moved 1/2 blocks per blow, wheat moved 1/3 per blow, and iron moved 1/4 per blow for example. Then you'd need to blow twice to get the feathers into a first hopper, then a mechanism to release the ball of items to a different bellows/hopper m...

There's so much to I want to do with these - and I haven't even had time to test the bellows. I guess I've got my weekend plans!

Here's the Beinecke Library. That's outside light seeping through the stone walls.

If it's hopeless, I'll mention a bit of fakery to get a similar appearance - sunlight passes through lit light blocks, so you can cap the bottom of a skylight with them. Feeding power from the side with a repeater lights up two blocks, so it could be four wide if it's recessed. (you'll see how I not...

That's an excellent kiln. When I saw the first picture I was wondering how it had enough bricks around to cook, but on reflection I guess it's for the best you can't walk in while it's baking!

An entity can store whatever extra data you code it to. Platforms in motion are entities.

This is fantastic, even down to the subtitle on the texture pack selection screen. The skeletons are genius! I was wondering what was up with the new bone icon, and then night fell. The light blocks and lapis blocks are especially nice. The platform texture inspired me to finally put in an elevator ...

I was about to post something similar, but talking more generally about adding alternate recipes that take advantage of shift-clicking. Here's the only relevant post I've found, Battosay suggesting a big shfit-click recipe for stone. Rope, hafts, and dynamite are the main things I've noticed where r...

I didn't see anything on MCF about optional dependencies, so here's
one way to fix the last thing to not to crash if you don't have BTW installed.

There seem to be hooks. Here's a little proof of concept. Anything wrong with
this, besides requiring BTW to be installed?

I share some of your feelings, I did not even post so when I donated. This is about FC, not me, so no reason to be loud about it. But then again Sarudak does have a fair point. Quite. Some celebration and maybe a bit of a bandwagon is better for everyone than an empty thread, even if I'm a bit shy ...

I hardly know how to use most of Eclipse, and it still seems very helpful. MCP sets things up for you, so you just need to open the right directory when it starts up. The right-click menu's options for cross-referencing declarations and uses is great for understanding how things fit together. Also, ...

Happy Anniversary!

Did you verify it for yourself? The thing about extending axles was what walker claimed was the reason you couldn't place waterwheels.

The thing about turning axles after placing the wheels was reported before Dave even made his post, and is listed as fixed in 1.2.5.

;) That's a nice machine, especially the sequential piston activation, but the point of mine is running forever on a single bucket of cement :) If you rewired it to raise all the pistons and then drop them a short time later while keeping the sources powered you would get quite a lot more bang for ...

Is this a thing that should not be? http://i.imgur.com/J0ft4.jpg The source block is kept fluid by redstone current, a block is placed to cut the column off from the source, once it solidifies the block dispensers grab the stone, then the flow is unblocked and the cycle begins again. Building it for...

If you right-click the axle supporting a wheel with an empty hand,
the axle will change direction but the wheel stays in place in its
original position.

It's difficult but currently possible if you're just going for aesthetics http://i.imgur.com/FSbIC.jpg The arrangment is two axles on an output side of the gearbox, and the closer water wheel is placed first. The second may pop off immediately after being placed, but usually sticks after five or six...

Ok, I'm now in love with this idea. The thought of villagers all sitting around in their little hot-tubs tossing the milk around is bordering on art. Consider it an upcoming feature for the mod :) You have exceeded my wildest dreams for this thread. I hoped I had forgotten a recipe to recover iron ...

I made this one by accident:



Is there anything else I can do with it?

Here's proper build. The start of the sky fortress "Tears in the Rain", captured in appropriate weather (click for larger pictures): Exterior http://uppix.net/7/9/f/fa20666f078beb724b5b77023aba5tt.jpg The windmill is the first and only source of continuous power in this world, and it's nev...

I often end up running a saw like that for a bit when I'm starting a new world. If it is an exploit, I've probably benefited from it a time or two, though I've only noticed it rain during that time a few days ago. Interesting discovery. This is less a suggestion and more of a bug report. I'd repost ...
