Yes, until sheep start to regrow wool they can burn for all I care.

I thought it would be for the same reason as the chickens for me. Attempting to push me off a cliff at every chance.

That too. Nothing like crafting something only to have some damn sheep pushing you away from the table the whole damn time.

That's why you always keep a sword handy.

It's also why I'm always ready to press shift when on anything higher than the ground.

I've killed far more passive mobs with my diamond sword than mobs.

I just found a mod that apparently adds npc humans and possibly randomly generated towns. If it's any good I'll pass on a link.

Just finished the install and testing it now.

Seems to be going well. It's like there are factions or something because certain mobs will track down others.

Alright it works well and even adds a new challenge into the game as there are some day time hostiles. I haven't come across a town yet so I'm unsure if they're in it.

From this link you'll need the mod loader and the audio mod.

Here is the mod itself.

I just copied my entire .minecraft folder so I have the option of the normal game or this. Connecting online will most likely overwrite it with a fresh version of Minecraft undoing the mods.

Left my house to do some mining, door was open. Now my house is filled with hobos...

HA! I'm going to have to try this out.

Strange, cause I have never had a problem with spiders over the door to my house.

I always did, but then I kinda used it as an excuse to get free string due to the horizontal size of spiders making ti hard from them to drop down from the roof.

Had a slime in my mine today, quite how it spawned there I don't know since they're meant to spawn in large spaces and my mine is anything but.

Sadly I never got to see it because it spawned in a wall and died before I could find it. All i have to remember it by is a pair of slimeballs in a chest. :(

Zombies are people too.

Zombies were people.

I have yet to encounter the illusive slime.

TO THE MINES!

I need to craft a huge space for slimes to spawn, as I have never seen one outside of videos.

Aaaaaand I just got killed by two creepers and two skeletons at once and lost all of my stuff because I couldn't get back in time.

I've had some outright caverns dug before and never seen a slime.

How large was this "Cavern" you speak of?

I have dug caverns the several chunks wide and a couple deep yet I've never encountered a slime.

i found 2 slimes in the same area on my map that imploded, i was pretty far down <10.

so progress on my nurgle map!

i found a pretty decent cave system and have mined it dry. this map has LOADS of resources! i already have a box full of coal plenty of iron and redstone. diamond is a bit harder to find but i have os much iron it won't be an issue.

i discovered a zombie spawn right near my tower, it was under a lake and the sand collapsed in on it. so now i have my own underwater zombie habitat!

my current biom is full of lots of little islands, nothing very tall but heavily forrested, i decided to add some spice to the terrain and add an easy way to find my base.

i added a few lava waterfalls that cascade over the hills and valleys, the strange thing is.. the animals are attracted to the lava.

the first time i put lava on the ground i ran to my base a few blocks away and i come back to 4 cows, 3 pigs , 5 chickaducks and a few sheep all hanging out around the lava.

the also seem to be quite fond of going IN the lava. i ran around my island once and had enough meat to fill a box, i also have no short supply of feathers and hide.

i will have to take some pictures of my madness.

32 x 64 x 20

Alright, so I just heard a noise like a ghost screaming, but I'm at elevation 100 on Peaceful! difficulty.

What is going on?

There is a 3x3x3 space within ten to twenty five blocks from you that has a light level of eight or less and no light contribution from the sky.

Wait the slimes are back?

So I've been hearing a creepy laugh every now and then in minecraft. At first I thought it's just some new sound there to mess with people if there's a cave nearby as the mod adds a fair few sounds.

Looking at the properties for the mod, Herobrine is included. Time to hunt him down. Though he'll probably kill me in one shot, then burn my house down, delete half the save and put lava on my spawn point.

GUESS WHAT EVERYONE.

My friend was able to get my deleted file back I'm so happy.

The one problem is that I have a new spawn point,by chance it was near some of my markers so I found my stuff again,but it means my compass no longer points to my sea port.

:(

just thought i'd ask some questions:
-how much?
-how addictive?
-what do you do on it?
I have a few friends who play it, and loads of dakka are raving about it, but I dunno what you do on it...
and please don't say "anything".

That's a very difficult question but I'll try. There are two basic game modes, classic/creative and survival. Both are single and multiplayer. In classic you are given a small map and unlimited resources to just build objects or buildings however you want. However the real game is survival mode which is the paid for version. The basic goal as the name suggest is simply to survive. There are as many way to do that as there are players but they key additions from classic are much larger maps, mining, crafting and mobs. The key to the whole game is the crafting system which lets you use resources you've gathered to make tools which make your continued existance more likely. Once you've got the 4 basic tools (axe, pick, shovel, sword) you'll be able to harvest all the building marterials you'll need and fend off the hostile mobs.

The key to enjoying the game is to set goals for yourself, that could be surviving the night outside shelter, buildling an exact replica of the enterprise, or simply getting a decent harvest from your farm. Without goals the game will seem pointless and won't be enjoyable. But with a few basic goals that massive pit you've dug to acquire loads of cobblestone, coal, iron etc won't feel like a waste of time but a satisfying first stage in your latest massive building project.

I think 20$? It's been a while since I bought it. Whatever 15 euros converts to. (And since you're British I have even less of an idea).

I usually build oversized castles. Or go spelunking if I can find a good cave system.

after you build stuff, what do you do?

build even more stuff?
hunt creepers?

what are creepers?

four legged nukes that hate you and everything you make
