And now that you've mentioned the whole lava sound thing, I cant help but actually notice the stutter whenever I do in fact move out of lava's sound range... Really looking forward to the next release now :D

Nicely done with the nether lag! Dunno what thought process went into trying out the sounds, but kudos for finding the actual cause!

Somewhat related, I've noticed a lot of people mentioning stutter and low frames in the overworld during rain as well - Could it be a similar issue, ie. sound stacking?

The OP has been updated with Survival of the Fattest episode 8, which was just released! The days of wandering around like madmen finally come to and end, as the derpy crew manages to cross the desert and find salvation!

The early game struggles of High Stakes featuring Jeet and Icynewyear continue in episode 7 + 8 of Survival of the Fattest:

Axe.

What I don't get is why would the two even be mixed in the first place. In order for that to happen, you'd somehow have to have bones and seeds coming out of the same system (and I can't think of a system with that output), separate the two, grind the bones, then recombine the resulting bone-meal a...

Love how the last couple of posts here consist of people going "Dude, fix your sh*t!" instead of either politely asking for help or trying to understand how the designs work in the first place, so as to solve the issues on their own. Seriously people, Noir has been keeping this thread up t...

-EDIT: I am watching Season 1 to see if I can watch you build the castle ;-) You might be disappointed there, as we only really start on the actual castle in season two, and actually do most of it off-camera. S2E22 does contain a design for a nether mob trap, although its still largely untested, as...

The easy answer to that would be "to pee and poo". BTW animals do that, just look at the wolves :)

The OP has been updated with Survival of the Fattest episode 6, featuring Jeet and Icynewyear! Watch as we once again prove that progress on our server is inversely proportional to the number of people online!

Do you have any beacons up and running? A nether mob trap perhaps, to provide gold and wither heads for said beacon?

Automation of all the vegetables into a stew-machine? Automating wheat is one of the most fun challenges I've had in BTW.

That's a gem right there! I also kinda feel compelled to share this one from the comments on my latest BTW tutorial video: This 'mod' sucks. I don't want to play the game how Flowerchild says I should play it. I'll play it my own way. Plus I don't like that he's forcing us to use his mod without AN...

Survival of the Fattest episode 5 was just released! Follow us as we take to the sea, and have a lot of fun on Sprigg's behalf!

I'll probably stick to using MCPatcher for stuff like random textures etc. Since the author is trying to actively keep it compatible, and I appreciate the extra eye-candy when recording, it generally works quite alright. On top of that I use Craftguide and CameraStudio. Both of them are great help d...

It finally happened! I updated the series with a new video, showing off the wonderful world of hardcore hunger. Please note that there is still a lot of ground for me to cover with these last releases (covered 2 out of 10 pages of notes with this video), so there is still plenty of stuff to come. Al...

The OP has been updated with episode 3. We have quite a bit of footage lying around at the moment, so if time allows, I will attempt to throw out the next couple of episodes with slightly smaller delay, as there is a specific bit of footage that we're all quite anxious to show you guys :) And as alw...

Have some more Survival of the Fattest:

Any particular reason MCEdit doesnt work? As long as you have the python software, and can find a 64-bit version (that was the hard part for me) if you have 64-bit OS, it *should* work.

You can also leave a block of air above the ceiling slabs, that should allow them to be lit.

Yeah, making your pen of transparent blocks like fences is the best way to prevent it. A double ring also prevents the glitch where they can spawn on the wrong side of the fence when chunk is loaded.

While doing our 4.65 early game play, we've discovered a bug related to hardcore spawn. Because we did not want to abandon our world, we decided to instead move the spawn point a couple of thousand blocks, and then teleport us there to simulate entering a new world. And it all seemed to work fine, v...

I'm not the best redstoner out there, but I do at least have a couple of automated builds behind me, and generally tend to come up with some unusual designs, and I can honestly say that since it was announced for Vanilla, I have been unable to come up with a single (practical) scenario where signal ...

Whoa.. I think you guys just managed to off-topic in the off-topic section! Double rainbows dude... I played Dark Forces shortly after it was released, and though I was too young to have learnt english at that point (You brits and 'muricans have it way too easy...), I thoroughly loved being able to ...

Episode 2 of Survival of the Fattest is up! Catch it here, or on the yout00bz!

While we are a bit late to party, High Stakes is on the bandwagon as well! Watch us punch wood in our new spin-off series "Survival of the Fattest", where we explore the BTW early game, with ALL of the hardcore modes enabled. K0hsth_9WZw While we are doing this series, the normal episodes ...
