Re: Silverfish questions (spoilers)

I assumed it already was, hehe. When I saw clay being removed I understood the intent. Thats why Im working out how to do it in The End. One more thing to do there while getting xp from my enderman trap and brimstone. I always seem to find a way to play unintended. Not bad for a non power gamer I gu...

Re: Silverfish questions (spoilers)

The next update to go to breaks my overworld spawner trap so I am trying to figure out the basic mechanics first. The main problem I seem to have is the amount of time required, combined with no afking from hunger that I think is in that version...it seems to be a conundrum. The overworld spawner po...

Re: HC Hunger in Creative mode

The games much better without creative or ops in anyway IMHO. But its your minecraft I guess. The beauty and appeal of this game is that there is no "right" way to do things.

But my ways better. (teasing)

Re: Early game in BTW with HC Hunger

My friends arnt HC enough for HC hunger. An update will happen at some point when it gets voted in. I was actually the only one who voted against hardcore bucket removal, so I guess give it time. I was wrong on that account as well. Love my aqueduct. We are still on 4.57 for now. We plan on giving H...

Re: Concerning Chickens

I find broadhead arrows, padding, and villager trading for raw chicken pretty much justify a small chicken farm. Plus they are a different type of design due to the nature of their spawning and that is rewarding too.

Often the fun in minecraft for me is the creation of a thing more then its use.

Remove Composite Bow Vanillia Enchanting

With the inclusion of the Power and Infinity Scroll, we may not need the ability to enchant the composite bow with the vanilla enchanter. I find myself not going after these scrolls as much as I would because I got a good chance to get something good with only 30 levels (just got power 4 punch 2) vi...

Re: S tarting Over, again

Not sure how much FCs changes change things, but villages don't really register right without seeing sky and villagers act goofy, in my experience. Might want to test the mountin thing with a few huts.

Re: Best way to transport large groups of villagers

This thread kinda scared me.

At least villager transportation is a one time thing. Having it be an epic event isnt all that bad. Of course, I feel like a hypocrite as I have a pre-update zombie-cured village dirtopolis going.

By the end portal there is a silverfish spawner that spews em out...wonder if you have to be in the end? Might take a battle axe of looting over there. Edit- just read...

Try building underwater only, Atlantis style with columns. Glow stone beacon makes it much more fun. Hat o water breathing and aqua affinity help too.

Re: Teach me to Buddy Block?

A lot to absorb, from great builders. Thank you! I'm enjoying noire's let's play right now, but I'll check out the vids soon. Also, the soul urn stuff makes sense to me. In my last world I built a auto pottery-kiln-bottler and it did use a lot of redstone and some odd piston action to break signals....

Teach me to Buddy Block?

Been playing the mod off and on for over a year. Every time I try to use a buddy block in a build I end up using a detector block. I know I'm missing out on something. Can someone explain the buddy block and its function vs a detector block? Getting frustrated with my hemp-sticky (pulse limited) pis...

Re: Visitor from the nether

Yea it's kinda immersion breaking when a pig monster from hell walks into your living room and just strolls over and checks out the fridge. I just keep crafting away while he looks for a turkey sandwich. A vMC problem though.
