Doesn't need to be MEGA perse, but well thought out and aesthetic. Things like the Sacred Mountain, or stuff like that, though not huge epic mega projects, are done with a single intention from the start to the finish.

Titan Pit Not that it's here anymore. It would have been dumb to have darkinnit copy a hole in the floor.

Well I guess we'll have to wait and see then.

Though I do have a single intention, and a vision ... though at the moment the clarity extends only as far as the outside ... I do have a general idea of what I want on the inside but it needs more planning.

Make a bridge to my place.

Maybe once the main build is complete and I'm feeling at a loose end.

Anyone mind if I raid their supply of netherrack/netherbrick?

I could also still use some cobblestone too, might raid more from Weitenwolfe's if he doesn't mind.

If I would need my cobblestone I wouldn't leave it out in the open where everybody can take it.

Mel, there should be a chest with some (maybe a stack or 2) of Netherrack in it right outside my nether portal in the overworld. My portal connects to the South West tunnel in the nether hub (the path next to the spawn portal)

There may even be some bricks, if so you can take them, too.


Not much, but at least it's something!

My that was disheartening. I get thrown off a mountain by a creeper blast and die. Then run halfway across the world to recollect my stuff. I then step into the netherportal I just built, and shortly there after get fireballed off a bridge into lava where I die and all of my stuff gets destroyed, and I respawn all the way on the other side of the world again.

*sighs*

Welcome to Minecraft, have a nice stay.
So, the Ghasts are acting up again? Seems I need to remind them who's the Boss.

On an unrelated note, nearly broke my nose while typing this and my iPad snapped back and hit me like a train. Thank you Apple, since when are you working with Skynet?

Found my house and like where it is better than before.

Yeah, i'm expecting no favor, but man it was a play killer for the night. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel better about it.

Losing all your stuff due to lava bathing never feels better, trust me, I'm an expert in this form of dying. I advice the abuse of this, or start taking revenge on some mobs.

Or get slimes, blaze rods, and make a buttload of Fire Resist potions, then laugh as the lava that was once a death sentence becomes your salvation from fall damage.

That's too easy, where's the challenge when you can't suffer?

I was under the impression that Lava doesn't affect your fall damage- you still take the damage. Could be wrong though.

You the damage as burning. The fall damage is negated though even fire resistance potions give you little option when you fall in the middle of a massive lava lake without enough time to make it to relative safety... So that's why I only use iron in the nether it's value less when you have a golem grinder so don't mind if I die with full iron kit... Though losing all the blaze rods I was running home with was irritating :p

if you are still needing netherrack i have about 10-15 stacks of it that i dont need atm so you can help yourself. unfortunately i am not connected to the nether system at this time so overworld travel would be needed, on the bright side you could take a boat to my location and not have to worry about mobs.

Huh. Now I know.

How feasible is a golem grinder, anyway?

Magma Cream appears to be rarer than Ghast Tears, hardly ever see the slimes and when I do they never seem to drop cream. Probably just my diabolical luck but Fire Resist potions are difficult to make if you don't have a supply of the raw materials.

Iron farms may well break with 1.8 (because of the changes in villager breeding), though I haven't seen any definitive reports one way or another. If you are in a position to make one then I'd either get going and make what you can while you can, or hold on and see what happens once 1.8 hits.

If you have access to a lot of slimes and a blaze grinder you can make your own cream from slime balls and blaze powder.

I have a Blaze spawner (not yet a grinder) so rods/powder is easy (if a bit exciting) to come by, it's the Magma Cubes that are rare as hen's teeth round my neck of the nether.

Slimeball + Blaze powder = magma cream.

You don't need magma cubes. Just get slimeballs from the overworld.

It's very doable the complex part is getting the villagers in place to get it working... The basic design is really quite simple to expand on once built...

As to the 1.8 update I am hoping that the update won't effect the ones that are already active... If it does... Well I'll have to get experimenting with solutions...

Probably a drop pit then manual smashing probably.

Its not going to be that way for allll mobs right?

Edit: Speaking of. does anyone have every iron they aint using? i needa make a bunch of hoppers.

From what I can find the 1.8 update shouldnt effect farms that are in situ already... But would make building one after the update probably result in it getting very expensive to build..

Hahahaha I'm sorry for my terrible English there... Wow I'm tired :p the villager breading will only change as far as I can tell on the mob side... So golems should spawn under the same conditions.

If you need iron I have my grinder or if that's totally out I have about 5 stacks just sitting around if you'd like some... It can be convenienly brought to you tomorrow when I am online or you can get it from the ores and bars chest in my house if you need some desperately I only mentioned my personal volume as smiththsur took a fair amount today from the grinder... (sorry if I got your name wrong there not on my laptop so checking names while posting is fun :p)

I had no idea about that, thanks so much! Not been playing the game for very long (started in November) so still very much learning.

There was nothing wrong with that at all (ok, aside from a missing apostrophe in "shouldn't" but I tend not to be that picky unless someone is being an arse ) so I guess it's worth getting iron farms set up before 1.8 hits then? You seeing this Sleitusmithr?

See, I just have almost a chest full of iron ore I haven't smelted yet. Because I use almost all stone tools. And tend to dig out rough mountains worth of material for my projects. I'm hanging on to it to use in decoration, but I might just keep it until they implement a way in Vanilla to multiply ore output.

Iron's easy to get so meh, not much of a point of multiplying it anyway once you're set up.
