It's a subtle visual change, but it's a very significant one on my end :)

Would it happen to be the hopper running in the background :)?

Re: Upcoming design change to Hoppers

Thanks for letting us know, FC. Luckily this won't affect any of my builds :). Also, I just have to say, I really appreciate your design ideas and changes. You've got some genius ways of fixing exploits without seriously wrecking people's builds, and I highly respect that. Mojang seems to change red...

Re: Tech. Question about Modloader and Meta.inf

The file META-INF, in simple terms, has an index of all the files of the minecraft .jar. Upon startup, it does a quick check to make sure all the files are in their place, and that no extra files are present. If the .jar is modified, like when you install a mod, the program returns a failed check an...

The Moulds can only be put in the anvil right? is there any reason they can't be put in the crafting table? Is it a technical problem where it can't be done or did FC just not want moulds for there crafting table just wondering. From what I understand, moulds are supposed to be a higher tech-tree t...

Re: Morvelaira's News Compilation

Sorry, I should have provided some explanation with that link I provided :P.

I do indeed hope this block doesn't really change anything about redstone circuits (making them smaller). Even in creative mode, I don't want to see this thing involved too much.

Re: Morvelaira's News Compilation

You input commands (I assume through a basic GUI), like "xp 500 player", which would give the player 500 experience points. According to a previous tweet of Jeb's, it seems that he's using this block to help implement some of the features in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFffB...

Also, if you think folks are going to stop at 100 portals, I don't think you have a good sense of the scale at which people tend to play with mob-farms ;) I guess I thought of that number while thinking about vanilla gameplay, where gathering 700~ obsidian is quite a task due to the time it takes t...

Re: Morvelaira's News Compilation

Based on the way the code seems to work, a few conclusions can be drawn about the pigman spawning: -Pigman spawning ignores the mob cap and any other hostile mob spawning -Their rate of spawn increases based on difficulty. On hard mode, you might expect one pigman to spawn from one portal in about 2...

Re: [Discussion] Hardcore Health

I agree, I see a lot of tedious habits coming out of this. For example, early game, if you take damage from a mob fight, you'll probably be tempted to just hide yourself in a 1x2 hole and go AFK while your health regenerates. I don't see that as being too fun
