So I logged out to check my single player before logging back in to find myself teleported to a random cave full of mobs loosing my redstone supplies.

I was in my well lit and mob free dungeon last time i logged out.

That's the same way Avatar ends up on the roof of the nether :-)

If it can't spawn you in the place you logged out for any reason, it moves up and tries again. Often I've logged out in my place, then come back and spawned on the surface, at night with creepers closing in. The cave you ended up in is probably somewhere above your mob free dungeon.

many times has that happened to me.
I lost lots of iron when transferring cobble from gooda's, I spawed above it and I then got killed. Coupled with the area's fast decaying of items, it despawned in about 1 minute.
thanks to lego, my stuff was restored.

I do it intentionly sometimes when i'm trapped in an underground cave and forgot when the exit is.

Hell yeah, it won't be the adventure gak though.

Hey everyone, I found another dungeon.

I have 36 mossy stone to trade.

I am mainly interested in gold and diamonds. NO iron, coal or redstone.

I could also use some wool or rare dyes (to a lesser extent than diamond and gold).

PM me for your offers.

With 1.7 coming I am extending Grundz castle to a new quarter, there's a floating island to the castle's north I would like to overtake since its about 1/2 of the distance i wanted the quarter to use, but I have no idea whom it belongs to, I will assist in rebuilding it

On my server mossy cobble can be bought at shops. But nobody uses it for reasons that would ruin the surprise of the event.

corpsesarefun wrote:Hell yeah, it won't be the adventure gak though.

Was there any idea of what the "adventure" part of the update was supposed to be?

From what I recall, 1.7 was supposed to include:
- Aether
- Pistons
- New "scary" mob

was there anything else ever announced, or was it simply the vague "adventure update"?

I've not heard anything about the aether being in 1.7 and have heard nothing at all about a "new scary mob". Post links if you got em.

I'll try to find the link, but if I recall correctly the adventure update was described as first creating a world in the normal mode and then being able to "adventure" through the world in "read-only" mode (i.e. no breaking or placing blocks). So think mazes, traps, puzzles, themed levels etc. A bit like making your own game really.

Ah, there are two different terms in confusion here; the "adventure update" which just rewards exploration and combat more and "adventure mode" which is what I was talking about

1.7 was originally going to have lots more stuff but was being kept quiet as it was meant to be a big secret update that blew everyone away, however due to everyone begging for pistons 1.70 will just be adding pistons with the rest of the secret update coming in 1.8 or 1.71 or something.

Upon further search, it appears this was all based on speculation from Notch's tweets. Although the Aether code was added in 1.6, which fueled speculation on that front.

What do you mean the code was added in 1.6?

Not sure if this is someone messing around at this point. I initially assumed that "MINECRAFTdotNET" had some legitimacy.

Who was it that was interested in voiping while playing mc?

Hey guys. Sorry I'm such a noob. I keep forgetting that I can't jump off things like in classic

The next time I log on, I'll probably want to 'hit the grind' and make something. Hopefully.

the wiki's back up, it looks like 1.7 is the piston update and 1.8 is the adventure update that has new mobs, spikes, undergound ravines (new world needed)

Hopefully spikes will come in 1.7 with pistons.

Not necercarily new worlds, we just have to generate some more chunks that have ravines in them. i.e go exploring!

To the explorer mobile! *dramatic pose*

samus, STOP LEAVING SUDDENLY!
I was midway through the tour
I needed to show you gooda's hall, vinnie's villa and brandywine.

okay, until tomorrow afternoon, please don't build a house. I still want to give you the last place in my humble little village.
(well I say little, 12 people )

so once again i decided to give the game a go (im a glutton for punishment, i play a Death Guard army i'm used to it).

i think the issue i was having was due to the ice it seems i only had these chunk errors when i went into bioms that had large amounts of snow and ice.

so i made a new world and i once again found a very nice spot for my Troycraft. i found a nice flat sand area and blocked off my walls and then filled in any water with dirt. the great part about building on sand is that i can dig out all of the sand and sandstone and make underground sewers, basements or dungeons.

i found a nice little lava pool in a sand cave within my city limits and a buried zombie spawner just a stone's throw from my walls, i think im going to build a monster grinder here with some pistons and spikes.

and now for something totally random. while i was digging out a small hill a bunch of sheep spawned nearby, forwhatever reason there was a PINK sheep. i did not dye this sheep, i turned around after taking wool from the other sheep and there was this pink sheep standing there.

Pink sheep do randomly appear. It's very funny.

Chowderhead wrote:Pink sheep do randomly appear. It's very funny.

They're extremely rare though. The probability to find one in a group of sheep is 0.05% or something like that.

Anyway, I would like to share with you guys a testimony of the ultimate fail:



What you see here is felsi that somehow locked himself up in his own cellar.

Don't know about "scary", but Notch has confirmed "at least one" new mob.

Also NPC villages, which sounds interesting... (although I'd prefer SMP bugfixes of course) :-D

I love the dialogue in the photo, Vinnie.

I'd love to come across an NPC village. As long as it wasn't Creeperville or something.

There's going to be major cause for exploring on Dakka Prime once 1.8 hits.

Heh heh:
