*facepalm* If this is fixed, can somebody lock it? The post above mine is ample reason, I think.

Whoa, Memory of Light will be out in Jan? Awesome! ...re-reading the series isn't a bad idea, considering how much happens in those books. Thanks to this thread, I now know that Michael Crichton is dead... I loved Prey , so I'm all sad inside. Time to dust off the Jurassic Park laser disc, I guess. ...

It sounds like a lot of people are for the TC route. I want to make the obvious point that a TC edits a lot of base classes. That's just how it is, it's what defines a TC. I get that. Why I point this out is that going the TC option increases FC's workload by a rather large amount, and the gain is p...

I would like to add my small voice to this discussion by pointing out that going TC basically is writing your own game. You would have the power to make whatever sweeping changes you felt like, while permitting the tatters of vanilla to handle whatever you didn't want to deal with. Plus, worlds coul...

I'm always nervous when Mojang announces additions or changes, and this redstone one sounds really easy for them to mess up. If they pull it off right, it could be really cool. - Capacitors? Sounds like an RSNOR latch + monostable, but remembering the input signal strength. - Daylight detector?... O...

No screenshots? I mean, obviously it isn't a virus because we're getting the source code and it's fairly easy to tell a virus in source, but not everyone has the jdk, sadly. (This from someone who does, and whose friends all do not) It looks like a neat little project. I'm working on something simil...

It's awesome that you found a Stronghold so quickly, and snow plains are one of my favorite biomes. I have one question though... Why in the world is it so necessary for everyone to take pictures while it's night? Daylight is less than five minutes away, torches are very easy to make, and unless you...

I tested this in survival and creative using the same setup as given, with identical results confirming this is happening.

blade of Monsterly Squishiness story Well, we can hang items on our walls now. Why not do that when it gets near breaking, and write a book (in-game of course) about your adventures with it? Then you can reminisce next to your hibachi fireplace while the rain falls softly outside. As for BTW vs Van...

Have you heard of the Touhou Project games? They're japanese "curtain fire" games, vertical-scrolling 2d shooters set in a land of magic. As there are over 13 games in the series, and a huge fanbase with many excellent artists, I've found there's a tune for pretty much anything you can do ...

Why a Hardcore world? Just do Hard difficulty and enable hardcore spawn. I, at least, don't want to put days of effort into a world only to have to do save editing or archive digging if my shift key fails me. That just feels hacky, instead of "bags of fun". I agree with enabling all the BT...

Oh, so skeletons can pick stuff up too? I suppose they have to lose their bow or something first. Actually, I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended, but they seem to still be able to fire arrows. At least, that one sure was! Keep in mind, that server is vanilla, but I don't recall FC making any c...

Take off the SFS- oh wait, you mean sleep IRL? People do that? ;)

Or levers, if you don't mind having a crawlspace / don't need to centralize fire control :)

That.. is way cool. Now all we need to do is figure out a way to automate separating the zombies by their level of rigor mortis, as measured by item-grabbing. I'm thinking they stand on a plate hooked to a timer, and if they don't grab the item in time, sending them off to their doom. Also, in the s...

Well, my take on the Creeper lore stems largely from a few basic points: - they don't burn in the sun, yet the other hostile mobs ignore them. - instead of dying or mutating when hit by lightning, they become stronger. - they (used to) spawn plentifully in forest biomes, fitting their texture. Due t...

Why has nobody mentioned Hetalia? That's what I'd recommend, if you like a bit of European history and friendly stereotyping of various countries' citizens.

Though we have never played Anarchy, we have noted the unusually high death toll among BTW servers as of late, and also wish to express our sadness.
Would that we had the time to join a server, and perhaps also funds to contribute to its survival. Alas, being a poor college student restricts us.

Well, FC doesn't have to distribute any Mojang art. If you want the old porkchops back, just make a copy of your items.png from 1.3 and turn it into a texture pack by merging it with the 1.4 terrain and items, just like FC said. Zip that up and load it as your texture pack. Sure, you'll have to upda...

The problem I see with the fishing rod idea is that you'd need to carry a stack of string whenever you wanted to go fishing. Personally, I see the stakes more as a double-checker, a way to make sure I haven't miscounted the length of a wall when building. It's also a faster way of checking the size ...

Heh, that reminds me of what I did a few years back. I painted a big cardboard box to look like a coffin, then dressed up as Dracula. A small crack in the 'lid' meant I could watch everyone approach our door. I had great fun all night suprising people. I scared one little girl to where she didn't wa...

I decided last week that I wanted to be the TF2 Engineer. A week of scrambling around for junk to salvage later, I end up with no hardhat (using a "texas ten-gallon" style instead), no glove, and a PDA made from my phone with the charger attached (other end is in my pocket). Last-minute ft...

I really don't see why we care so much. Whatever happened to the whole: "You don't like BTW? That's fine. Fuck off." Mentality? Dude, the scope of this is beyond BTW. We're dealing with possibly the death by nephew of MODLOADER, the standard for mods for over two years now. Even Forge got...

Oh man, the blasting oil. This stuff is going to be great in SMP. I can already imagine some devious demolitions, especially involving automated egg-cracking machines filled with oil. Also, this gives you a desperation defense against SFS-wearing players: Throw some at them, then hit them with an ar...

So I tried out 1.4.2 today after having never tested the snapshots. My thoughts: - Item frames are cool. First thing I put in one was another item frame :) - Vanilla anvil is ugly, but the metallic clang it makes on placement could be useful to modders - Mob heads are fun. Unfortunately, the player ...
