So I'm at the point in my singleplayer world where I should really build a mobfarm for all the delicious goodies I won't need to hunt for again. I'm lacking a good spawn platform design that preferably emphasizes vine trap efficiency as I'm not producing those extremely quickly. I haven't decided ho...

Might be a Hoe-first vs. Pick-first thing. People who pick hoe as their first iron tool usually end up getting sustainable chickens and eggs long before brown mushrooms, which is irrelevant by the time they have more iron for an iron pick and go diamond hunting. (I'm a hoe-first person. ) Pick-first...

As someone who lives in a tropical country, the choices of weather tend towards hot or wet. Neither of which is particularly comfortable.

Post-rain does make for a nice and somewhat cool time though.

P.S. What is a season? Is it edible?

Cool game. reminds me of Spaceteam for the phone.

This is what I mean: [P] [\] _ [_] [\] [_][_] [_] [P] [_][\] _ [_][_][\] I'm trying to apply this design for my own nether mob trap but the redstone torch in red keeps powering the piston below it. Is that right or should I have another solid layer in between? I hear tripwires are a cheap and hopef...

Inside. The glowstone breaks the cactus when it grows, dropping into water channels that run beneath the whole farm: http://i.imgur.com/ETGuuyN.png Fences work as well in place of the glowstone and are probably slightly more efficient(due to not blocking the way for cactus to fall). hope that bit o...

This is the format I ended up using. Not as space saving as some, but an easier patter to remember and on the eyes. Each seed has 4 blocks available to grow and you wont get 2 steps attached to same block. M= Melon seed P = Pumpkin seed http://i.imgur.com/gUutgcS.png Colour me impressed. If I ever ...

well, I live in a swamp, so....*bleep*

Not sure if melon spawning speed is affected by number of free dirt spots around it, so I've got two ideas here. If dirt spots don't matter: SSSSS ddddd which is basically a row of stalks and dirt blocks. If dirt spots do matter: _D_ DSD _D_ cross formation tiles. same idea as vanilla sugarcane/reed...

I started BTW after a muckup with Forge on my client basically made my modded world unplayable. BTW: Incompatible with Forge quickly came up on the list of non-forge mods. This was MC 1.2.5, some time before HC buckets. And very long before it dropped modloader and compatibility with a lot of mods. ...

What buggs me is that he's a crazy hardcore MMO (guildwars2, diablo3) player but he can't stand 30 minutes of BTW because it's too hardcore Not too hard to understand, I think. MMOs have a large economy, allowing people to get what they want/need with money/farming time. Minecraft on the other hand...

Have you ever tried to introduce BTW to a friend or family member, only for them to not like it, which makes you sad and drains the fun out of playing BTW?

I've kind of just gone through that and it really burns me out.

Even when you're not playing, BTW can be hard sometimes.

I dunno how efficient it is, but blight can be used to do initial deforesting of a jungle.

Give it time and a decently large amount of grass.

I figure that hoe is most important for the first iron tool. Its easier to get to than an iron pick. Reasons: 1) Self-sufficient food: farming pumpkins/melons for seeds->eggs. 2) Hemp: getting enough hemp to make a windmill is a decently long journey. the earlier the start, the better. 3) Windmill: ...

Needs more screenshots of said infrastructure.

thank you for support and kind words! there is a mod out there over minecraft forums that remakes Deco Addon compatible with latest BTW. i don't really enjoy that mod and the shape that is taking but if anyone here uses it, i can re-add the Deco Addon support. Can I get a link? I'd like to see this...

cool. might pop back for a bit to indulge in my old machines. I need to remember how to optimise some tech.

This Bridge I made with stakes and string So I'm sort of addicted to meaningful aesthetic uses for stakes and string. They make for very nice suspension cables. Note: string does not obstruct movement. Therefore, you can walk/jump off the bridge easily. last picture is my hoard of string and stakes...

Unless nobody talks on that server, usernames should make a difference.

List of things that contain usernames:
Chat
Death/Kill Messages
Possibly server commands(for /telling people stuff)

Excellent! I look forward to checking it out.

Also, I keep forgetting cement exists. I haven't worked with soul urn cooking in a very long time. That gives me IDEAS!
(IDEAS go into singleplayer time though)

In other news; if anyone has any designs/ideas for the southern nether fortress [ also in need of a better name ], if anyones interested in teaming up give me a poke. Ideas! 1) Slab the whole thing over. I think there's demand for a nether fort mobfarm. Bonus points for doing tunnels so wither skel...

Boo. Join a community. Do eeet.

I have none really yet, but I have plans to make a railway system, where you can go to various stations, store minecarts in the stations (so you could use the design on multiplayer) and have main train stations around the world. And maybe use pigs, I dont know. Has anyone tried to use pigs as a reg...

I always build roads. Everywhere. By day three I'm occasionally challenging wolves and making paths through forests, tundra forests, plains, mountains, etc. And bridges. I have a tendency to favour tunneling in the nether and popping down portals every 2 or 3 sections into the side of the tunnel. I...
