Google "cooling laptop stand". Some can be found real cheap, especially the unpowered ones that are just a mesh. Really low ones, an inch or so, should be good enough to increase heat dissipation. Who knows, might find something that betters your posture. :) Can of air are awesome. Once y...

36 slots provide more than enough space as it is.
Given the only times I've used all of them involve strip mining or lugging building materials about, and well thats what chest carts are for.

I looked like a king with my iron crown.

i tend to only go short distances into caves as i hate jumping out (so hunger-draining, nothing worse than running from a creeper that dropped out of nowhere only to find you can't jump anymore) and i'm always shocking at keeping my orientation. above ground i'm fine, underground and i'm lost after...

How long were you running MC before it crashed? I've had mine overheat a few times. The game freezes for half a second before the whole laptop just turns off. (literally like pulling the plug/battery out) -It ran fine for about 2 years before it first happened. during those years I've ran MC with sh...

Strip mining is possible, but its kinda boring. If you're pre hoe then the additional time/effort might put a hole in the food chain. (Its useful for finding/connecting caves) Wheres cave diving tends to be a little more exciting, and its kinda good to practice in the upper strata before going on th...

[MC-9164] – Chickens will not follow Melon seeds, Pumpkin seeds, or Nether Wart

This feels more than a little off- But then again nether wart is fictional.
(I always thought it was some kind of fungus)

Use 2 rows of moulding.

Though you'll be a half block out of alignment.
(works ok for walls, not for water channels)

Would you even need a comparator?
just a trail of redstone X length, then a redstone torch?

(I still see 'analoge' redstone as a digital on/off- it just feels like measure of amplitude/signal strength rather than actual analogue signalling)

Work takes up most of my day- with the little time I'm on I'd rather be doing something else in game than AFKing in the nether.

I'm still around.
Seen a couple of new players about too.

Also I'm selling my body/random junk.
If anyone wants respiration/protection scrolls, clay, redstone, head, cake, soul urns ect let me know.
[yes- I've ran out of gold again]

Has anyone tried putting some 'live bait' around the edge of a jungle?

How far can spiders see?

I think the initial wheat is essential for later exploring; its a highly concentrated food source.
[2 stacks of flour cooks 8 stacks of sandwiches]

As you're at steel tech; make use of that stronghold.
-Its a free ride to spawn.

I have yet to find one that lacked a netherwart room (vanilla and BTW).

BtW- there are safe areas in the natural nether. Good luck.

On the upside- they do cause crop damage.
Though the food items seem excessively powerful.

Wasn't the jump boost effect already available via beacons?

Thought I'd rework the end portal.
Am I the only one who gets fed up with [SMP] end portals in general always being a looted wreak?

Been trying to figure the mob-leak in my grinder. - I can't see any holes left in the floor they could drop through. - Mobs can't spawn in that particular area under it (verified with beacon effect) - mobs seem to be phasing through stone ( the old vanilla bug thats been around for ages ). - normall...

Try following the coastline.

How far are you tunneling between portals?
How far are you walking out from the portal?

Boats are pretty fast if you're by the ocean, otherwise you can't really go much faster.
(I guess you could set up as a server, and bring a few mates on)

Sticks are so easy to animate (poorly animated as mine are aside).... I always look at those sprite animations and think "how the fuck did they do that?" I've always asked the same thing with the decent looking stickwork. (my limited attempts with sticks involve shape tweens or painting i...

The debug screen covers half the page with useless information.
Floaty white-text showing all the players.
Constant night-vision effect.

I had a lot of fun tinkering around with flash. Though I prefered sprites over sticks for some reason.
aaah good times.

You might be able to get them back out into the overworld.

Travel a long way if you take the second portal route; otherwise you'll merge into the first one.
(at least a half day assuming flat/easy walking)
