Re: Automatic large mushroom farming?

Back when I was playing BTB I had thought of doing this, but the growing restrictions are insane, you just can't do anything reasonable. I guess you could try and do something with sand, it's doable but a pain in the ass. Wait for the giant mushroom to grow, have sand fall on top of it and push it d...

Pedestals not rotating on top of turntables

Placing a pedestal on top of a turntable with a torch on one of the sides won't rotate the torch.

Not sure if this applies to/is related with all "special case" torch placement surfaces. Bug is not game-pressing, just happened to notice it.

Re: Minecart unloader

I came up with this some weeks ago, around the time I created my tree farm thread, although I was using rails to bring the cart all the way to the BD, and was having problems with item dumping. I will say that it is possible to use the same turntable for both the redstone and the BD, from personal e...

I am running out of motivation to build it, so I'm turning to you guys so you can give me some ideas, or even better show me your own designs in your worlds so I can steal a few for mysel...

Re: Villager Sorting via Hitbox

Yeah, fixing baby villager hitbox would be very welcome, and it would lead to some unique builds to sorting villagers based on size, instead of time as with most other breeding facilities. I support this and have wanted it since I came up with a way to farm them only to discover this bug.

My own theory is that more open farmland is best, but it's an ongoing topic of debate. Much of the README is left intentionally vague to encourage experimenting.

Paralellize your operations but serialize your resources. I've been playing on Splee's skyblock and yes, this is great advice. And it makes you sound very wise =) Couple questions. I was told xbreeding works in a area of effect, is this just horizontal or also vertical? Also, does having more tille...

Re: Splee999's Multiplayer Skyblock Sever (BTW 4.41 / BWR 0.

Hm. I died and am stuck inside the glass at spawn. Is there anything anybody can do? I believe putting another layer of glass under the first one should work, splee. Also, changing the spawn location to 1 or 2 blocks above the glass layer should work.

Re: Splee999's Multiplayer Skyblock Sever (BTW 4.41 / BWR 0.

I appear to have created yet another block of obsidian. God I suck at skyblock. Splee, should I just change skyblock again, or will you reset my block? Up to you really, sorry for the inconvinience.
Just goes to show how much I don't use cobblestone generators.

Even if you don't get saplings you can get one by XB'ing. So not all is lost. As far as the water goes that sucks.. what did you do??? I am aware of xbreeding. But since I turned my lava into obsidian there was nothing I could do. Also as you can see from rianaru above me, waiting for xb on sapling...

You ran a server that existed to mess around with redstone. A lot of the stuff there was really well made :P Well, this is skyblock, so I'm not 100% in my element. The first time I played skyblock with a few friends, we had to restart 6 or 7 times because we messed up the lava and water interaction...

Re: 'Refreshing' dragon orbs?

If I recall, you can convert them and still store them. As long as you're not standing close to the water stream where the xp orbs are flowing, it won't mess up their transportation.
