Ah. That's a clocked generator. I was thinking more like what Static did in his Redstone Challenge with the ice fountain. Thing is, the Bud switch he used is obsolete now due to the redstone updates. I think I might be able to make a working system with current bud switches, but the sheer speed of them is actually a problem- the old ones could be used to pulse a little easier.

Success! I have managed it myself (utilising a BUD switch from a tutorial). In all it's glory, an Automated Ice Maker!



I'll need to set up a system to push things into a giant ice cube for harvesting, but for now... Whohoo!

Now all I need to do is work on getting a stone Silk Touch pickaxe (for cheap repairs).

T'was the tedious plan, Anvil!

Thanks Storm Lord, would you like anything in return?

Err... I'll happily accept Netherack, Nether Bricks, quartz or flowers (of any variety) as I have ongoing/upcoming projects that require those. I'll leave quantities up to you, just leave what you feel is fair in one of the chests in the center of the room

Flowers? Have you tried a SMURF?

Cool, I'll probably end up getting you a few stacks of quartz and netherrack, along with any excess sandstone

Are there any specific types of flowers you want? In what quantities do you want them? I'm a bit strapped for bonemeal at the moment but if time isn't a factor (or you want to throw me a ton of bones ) then I can rustle up pretty much whatever you want (offer does not include sunflowers).

Right now I'll take almost anything. I'm working on designs for an automated flower farm in a flower forest biome I found, but haven't yet settled on a designs that I like. The project is a while off yet but I figured if I start stockpiling them now it'll help in the long run

If you need bonemeal I have some excess which I'm not using atm and I don't need vast quantities anyway so feel free to take if you need it's in my misc chest in my house. No need for a trade bonemeal is easy eough to obtain.

Also there have been some important upgrades to the iron farm it is now much safer to access and leave due to the addition of a kill switch to kill off zombies that hang by the doors and the doors are now white stained glass, so maintains the look I wanted while improving safety

Okay, where's Cantium's Iron Farm again? I know it's somewhere in the West Tunnel...

Head allong the west tunnel my portal tunnel is clearly marked with iron decorations and sign posted. Word of warning once through the temple on the other side is sealed there's a switch to the left of the door.

Like, really far along? 'cause I'm past Weltenwolf's already...

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!

Spoiler:

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

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

I really like this texture pack! But may I ask, how do you get your toolbar to change like that? Mine has the funky shapes, but not the better tool icons and armor/food/xp bars.

Those are all done by the pack, I think...

I seem to have classic icons

That'd be a problem with your pack, I think.

Hmmmm.... seems like the pack isnt texturing tools. You can see stuff like your torches are getting the new texture.
You have the newest version of the pack? Other than that, maybe restart minecraft.

Yeah, I'm using the recommended 256x256 pack from http://bdcraft.net/grungebdcraft-minecraft
does the 512x512 make a difference?

It looks like the only thing that's different from the pack are your tools/weapons. Might be something wrong with your download.

I think you need the vanilla bdcraft pack as well since a few things are still missing in the grunge pack. The grunge bdcraft pack needs to be above the regular bdcraft pack in the resource list.

Ok. by Vanilla, you mean PureBDCraft right?

Sorry, I forgot the correct name. Yes, it is PureBDCraft: http://bdcraft.net/purebdcraft-minecraft

Ahh Very Cool! Huge difference! Thanks a lot!

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

I took some cobblestone from your chests above Minenschacht #2.

You're welcome, I hope the Skeletons I cultivate on site didn't shoot you.

So did anyone actually take me up on the Ice Palace build challenge?

I'm genuinely interested in seeing what people come up with for that, as Google surprisingly is somewhat disappointing in its results.

Thank you very much. And I must've missed the skeletons; but then again i had only eyes for your efficient and well sorted storage system

I'd be all over it but I don't have a silk-touch tool at the moment so ice isn't a material I can work with ... and I really don't fancy building a house in a mold ... that's just odd.

I'm building something else already anyway so no thanks.

I thought the idea was to build it in creative then post screenshots?

Well been learning more about the next updates changes to iron golems... Turns out if you want iron you'll need to kill them yourself... Looks like I'll be modifiing the farm a bit then... And it won't be an auto killer any more. :/... Oh well at least I won't have to deal with the changes to villager spawning so only a minor inconvenience to me...
