Mobfarm platform design
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...

Re: Brown Mushrooms
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...

Re: Your favorite weather
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?

Re: Show us your builds!
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...

Re: Optimal Melon Farm Layout
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 ...

Re: Optimal Melon Farm Layout
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...

Trying to Share BTW (and failing)
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.

Re: how much time until a SFS beacon generates blight?
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.

Re: First Iron Tool: Pick or Hoe?
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: ...

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)
