Re: Discussion: Wheat Farm (groth detect ways)

The lens beam is not blocked by fully grown wheat. I don't think we can use that.

Re: Block Dispenser Converting Jungle Leaves -> Oak Leaves

Confirmed in a survival world with 3.72. All types of leaves (Birch, Dark, Jungle) have their data values reset to that of oak leaves when sucked in by a block dispenser

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.71)

I do find it unfortunate that the flint block isn't forced to have the same texture as bedrock. If/when BTW SMP rolls around and we have people using this block as a legitimate hiding strategy, there's obviously going to be a lot of people changing the block texture to something obviously different ...

Oh bollocks, I just threw away 6 stacks of flint after converting some gravel to sand! Ah well, that's my own fault. Wonderful stuff as always, FC. Thank you!

Re: HavokSCOUT's Livestream

I've found it pretty hard to "upgrade" an old world. When I tried it, I found so many things I did in weird ways that made it nearly impossible to go from there. I ended up having to tear a lot of things apart just to be able to build properly. I'd stay stick with what you're doing

Re: Cow to mooshroom mutation makes baby cows grow too fast

I spawned in another baby cow about 10 seconds after I took the first picture to speed up the process. Sorry.

Cow to mooshroom mutation makes baby cows grow too fast

Sorry for the odd-sounding title, but I'm not sure how else to describe it. In my survival world, I just led some recently-birthed baby cows into a pit with mycelium flooring. Within about 2 minutes, they turned into fully grown mooshrooms. I feel this could be exploited for faster animal farming, s...

Re: How are you setting up XP automation?

Yeah, I had a much simpler solution going for a little bit before I decided to upgrade. I was kind of fearing the changes to this system FC might be bringing about :P. I like your mob grinder btw. Like you said, it gets the job done :)

How are you setting up XP automation?

I'm hoping to initiate a kind of "show us your build" thread here, but specifically with the purpose of showing your different ways of collecting XP using FC's new system. I have a simple rig going, but I'm eager to know how others are doing things. So for my setup, I have a zombie spawner...

Amazing stuff as usual! I'm absolutely loving the XP related stuff. I can't wait to see what's in store in terms of storing XP for full automation. In the mean time, I've successfully modified my zombie XP grinder to fit the new system so far (no more punching!). And seriously FlowerChild, the conte...

Re: The (?) Completion Project.

I've just recently obtained a full stack of SFS blocks. I considered making one of these based off of FC's video, but then I realized two things: 1- FC gave hint about this possibly being something about a "portal". Before I put one of these in my base, I need to know if I'm supposed to go...

Re: Automated Charcoal?

Wouldn't the more optimal solution be to cook the logs in the kiln? You can make charcoal that way, and it's usually a bit more straightforward than furnaces

Well, I use Adblock Plus on Google Chrome, so I usually don't get ads. However, when I disable it, I get a ton of ads from Newegg, because I often buy stuff from there.

Alright, so I've got a zombie spawner trap going in my new world, and I set up a water flow to bring them to a collection point, where I use pistons to bring them down to half a heart with suffocation damage. However, After about 4 spawn cycles, the spawner doesn't create any more mobs. If I kill th...

Re: Hopper loading furnace carts

I apologize, it is merely a concept. I recently started a new world, and I'm at the point where an automated rail system would be useful, but I'm experiencing a shortage of gold, which is why powered rails would not quite work for me in this situation.
