As far as I'm aware, Mojang went for the brewing stand option instead of the cauldr *ahm* cistern - as the latter would need a block/liquid ID for each ingredient combination, as well as the item ID's used by the former. -It may work if the cistern was a tile entity, and contained a acted as a small...

I see. Abusing the HC spawn mechanic to get a better area kinda feels like cheating. Give it a good shot first- there may be an open ravine in the ocean, if you can find some abandoned mines then you'll be away. (you may even luck out and find a compass in the loot chests- or more likely go down val...

Maybe I'm off on the wrong tangent- but I haven't seen food poisoning from eating rotten flesh/fouled food.

Yeah your hunger bar drains a little faster, but the effects don't stack with each iteration, and certainly no crippling weakness/poison/nausea from putting something that vile in one's mouth.

Correct me if I wrong- but since the wither is an undead monster; splash healing potions should work for the first half of the battle? I was thinking a tall[ish] room with ceiling mounted block dispensers and a sizable stockpile of potions. I guess in combination with Ribky's endermen tecnique to f...

Quite a few times (Both vMC and BTW) I've seen endermen walking around in an aggro'd state (mouth open, shaking)

May be a vanilla bug when endermen take environmental damage.

It depends on how you're doing for materials; Even a small grinder can be very resource intensive depending on build style/mechanism. (You'll almost certainly want a processing unless you want a massive cobblestone box right outside your house) Personally I'd start off small, and gradually build mor...

Edit; My apologies FC.

Space Invaders!!

-Sorry

But yeah, I was thinking more of a "3D" statue, with tentacles snaking out over the floor/up walls ect...
I agree with Havoc, building a full sized temple/statue will take a lot of effort- so best of luck to you.
(looks awesome so far)

Thinking about it- surely a large chunk of iron would splat/crunch mobs above a certain speed- or at least shunt them out of the way...

Sometime you see something that just blows your mind beyond all reason and inspires you to do something with your life while you're still young.


This isn't one of those.

It would make a lot more sense if animals were scared of [moving] minecarts. Arrgh!!! big noisy thing coming at me! I'm outta here! Looking through the change list, I think burning mobs will now set the environment on fire. Though it means a forest fire every morning I kinda like this idea. You cert...

i havnt gotten enough wither heads or matireals for a beacon, so i cant try them yet. but has anyone noticed any negative effects yet? so far iv not seen anyone mention any. but FC did say there would be some. we seem to only be scratching the surface so far in understanding how they truely work. B...

Here is one thing from this update that I like. Comparators can now be used with jukeboxes. Output signal strength relates to disk number. As far as survival gameplay and general logic goes- this feature makes little sense. However, it's a very useful tool for map builders. Anyone remember that Her...

As saws take a short time to cut wood, a horizontal row of powered saws, with a row of block dispensers placing wood. As each dispenser has a short delay, a well timed sprint will allow you to run across the wood before it's cut. -Likewise a similar mechanism can be achieved with a floor of hibachi....

For moving mobs long distance? 1) Rail track through the nether +Easiest method once set up +Re-usable -Can be dangerous to build -Can be dangerous to use 2) Rail track in overworld +Re-usable +Safer than the nether -Uses 8x the resources -Can tedious to build/dig tunnel/bridge of that length. 3) Wh...

The water mechanic update has been a long time coming. I spend too much time fixing it manually. -Though with downward water sources being created, there's less downflow- so it may mess up some drowning trap/grinder designs. If the dropper can move items sideways, it may hopefully the end of hopper-...

As someone who has similar problems, Using the blocking off rule in addition to left/right hand torches is probably the best way to go; Place torches on the left. At a cave branch, take the immediate left fork. If you hit a dead end, back track to the last fork and wall off that route. Take the next...

Quartz blocks huh?

Actually they're kinda pretty- Looks like the nether will get turned in strip mine.

Too be honest, I can only see one real use for the hopper;

If you put it on your head, you'll look like this guy.

I'm in love with the boats.

totally not going to re-create naval warfare tossing soul urns and explosive jelly....

Favourite mod item- Flowerchild's hopper.

Vanilla- noteblock, for the sake of having this as my doorbell-http://youtu.be/zUwEIt9ez7M

I was thinking more along the lines of this- but alas I'm a little late.

I would love to see Nether biomes. I would love to see more than just endless featureless red. In fact, i once contemplated just moving a load of dirt, grass, and blue whool to the Nether to make my own little overworld bubble... I think nether forts act as a pseudo-biome, blazes/skeletons can only...
