Yeah I think with the nerf to gold and iron we'd all ragequit if there wasn't a way to build effective mob traps, especially considering how insanely hard gold is to get and how crucial it is now. Not to take away from your original post, it's certainly a kick ass way to play the game :) Our trap n...

So no more sky traps that are 120 blocks above ground to concentrate spawns then? This is definitely something that opens up new possibilities for me, thanks.

For some reason I just never really experienced the amount of mobs that made me think 'ok, it's a bit odd that there's all these mobs around during the day, something must be up'. The thunder and lightning are obvious but I always regarded it as an extension of the rain effect rather than a distinc...

-snip- Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have to be within the vicinity of the trap for it to function yes? I read somewhere that the distance required would be 32 blocks for the farthest point in the trap else the mobs don't move. So in order for the trap to be running you'd have to afk in the midd...

for low amounts of gold hunting is good at first, but the time invested into building a pigman farm is worth the money when going late tree building and big projects like beacons If what Vioki said is true, a copious amount of nether groth would be needed to make an efficient farm, which is a long ...

I never really noticed the distinction between rain and storms To be honest, the thunder, lightning, and oh SH~ level of mobs usually gives it away for me. Much more subtle when you're underground though, but only when the lapses between thunder are long. I had a rather unexpected encounter with ha...

So I've recently gotten around to watching BTW streams (namely Vioki's videos/streams Notch bless his soul) and posting on the board, but have played BTW for a fair amount of time now. Just reached Steel level, and find myself in a severe lack of gold for making automation through a crap-ton of gear...

I've been a BTW player since 4.xx and this is the first time I've gotten on Steel level. Needless to say I immediately attempted to craft a full plate armor set to protect me when I mine/spelunk. I immediately noticed the Plate Greaves gave off the same sound effects as if you were mining what you w...
