Except I have aspirations of using it as a building material, rather than as tools. Same with gold, but apparently making a gold farm is rather easier. (might try that sometime, actually- apparently the current meta Gold Farm is just massive portals in the spawn chunk with drop killing into hopper collectors. I'd kinda like to use tons of Gold Blocks).

Eavon14, that really wasn't necessary. I hope it wasn't to much trouble for you to do. Thanks though.

I definitely would set them up before the update because afterwards it's going to take a very long time and a lot of resources... That or you'll have a lot of zombie villagers to cure which incidentally is also quite expensive...

Has anyone found Wolves yet?

I've got some wolves.

Could you give me a map link to the biome where you found them, please?

Just been AFKing by Cantium's iron golem farm all day (with his permission, natch), collecting ingots, and.... got killed by a witch! All my personal gear (enchante diamond pick etc...) is gone, but fortunately I'd stashed a load of the iron I'd gained, in my enderchest, shortly before getting offed.

Anyway, anyone else wanting to use the iron grinder AFK should probably consider upping the lighting levels.

Where's this at? As I'm loathe to smelt down my ore, I'd love a large supply of ingots.

Head down the West tunnel and keep going... check with Cantium 1st though.

So there's a bug where zombies that pick up eggs do not despawn ... ever. This can cause (I believe) server lag as I don't think that egg-carrying zombies count toward the mob limit for some reason. I thought this was a myth, or exaggerated ... until today.

There is a zombie eggpocalypse in the ravine under the Mountain Crown!



That image was taken after I'd already been there for a while ... the stone sword on my toolbar was unused before I arrived.

What texture pack is that?

Bdcraft, IIRC.

Yep, Bdcraft.

Sorry, it had to be done.

Anywho, this must be how they got the feathers they originally dropped; zombies are actually just vicious, aggressive, undead chicken-farmers.

Meh, they're not really undead, they just have salmonella. They don't come to kill us, they just want a dose of antibiotica.

!!! I am soooo going to put an egg dispensor in my Zombie XP grinder.

Oh god sorry bout that the lighting in the area does need doing it's just that atm I'm planning a project in that area gland havent got round to doing it :( sorry that you lost your stuff...

As for use of my golem grinder go ahead. I don't mind I'll just say that the door doesn't automatically close... And that to get to the collection point head down the steps and to the back of the spawn pad follow the tunnel to the end and down the ladder

No worries, mate, I've been snaffling a load of iron, and I have plenty of diamond left...

It's Sphax Grunge BD Craft, I used to use Pure BD Craft (and the animated nether textures are much nicer) but I quite like the slightly gritty textures of Grunge.

I thought I recognized that. Forgot the name though.

Do any of you have experience with making resource packs? I been trying to do one that just changes the textures of Iron Blocks, Doors, Pressure plates and Gold blocks and plates, but for whatever reason it's not working. Checked the wiki, followed the instructions, but there's just something I don't think I'm gronking.


Also, I challenge folks on here to construct an Ice Palace/Spire in Minecraft- may use any blocks you like (probably will want to do it in Creative Mode on a singleplayer world), but it's gotta look like it was grown from ice crystals. I'm working on that myself, and BOY is it hard! I shall use posts as inspiration for when I am ready to cap off the Mesa.

Iustis probably has the most of those that I know.

Ok... Either way I've begun to improve the area so with luck it shouldnt happen again although there is a lot still to light up...

Also I have a good idea for a safer way of traveling around my home town. But it's going to take an awful lot of work and won't be implemented any time soon but essentially it'll be putting in "sewers" which each building will have some form of access to the network allowing for safe travel throughout the night too.

Also in regards to getting to the collection point I've made some improvements to the access so it should be less confusing!

Anyone have sand/sandstone they'd be willing to part with? I'm willing to negotiate a price
I have for some ungodly reason decided to build a path from my base to spawn and I've decided the best material to use is sandstone

I have about 16 stacks at my base. I have no plans to use it, so if you head along the Western Nether Tunnel you'll find my portal (if you reach Cantium you've gone to far, I'm the one before him) then head inside my base and it'll be in a chest on the righthand side of the storage room (at the far end of the hall) labeled sand/sandstone

My suggestion is to make it a level walkway, whatever you make it out of. Cut through stuff instead of building over it, make bridges instead of stairways. That sort of thing.

T'was the tedious plan, Anvil!

Thanks Storm Lord, would you like anything in return?

Also, in relation to the Ice Palace challenge- making an automatic ice generator (that's Bud based, not clock based) is actually turning out to be rather difficult. Every system I try for some reason sets up an infinite piston loop. Anyone got any suggestions?

No idea if this is the style of system of ice generation you want but Sethbling made one in survival here:

Actually, a building challenge every now and then would be really cool!
