As far as I know it's imposible to fully automate wolf breeding. They will only breed if you rigth clik them with food when they re at full health.

If you were playing unconnected to the internet that could be the cause for the lack of sound, I think. Didn't minecraft downloaded the sounds when you started the game? I think that was also the reason you couldn't change the sounds, when you started the game it re-downloaded any sound it wasn't th...

Going into third person and looking down also helps a lot

The problem is that you can't click on the minecart because the portal block is in the way, isn't it?
You can always use mcedit to remove the portal blocks and relit the portal after getting out.

If you are low on vines and don't have the resources to autofarm them try and cover a big wall with them. i had enougth vines planted to almost break a new pair of shears harvesting them and it really helped with making the first levels of my mob tower. And i had a pretty expensive design going with...

Be carefull with cement in the nether. Ghasts can spawn on any block type and limiting avery spawn but ghasts can get a bit out of controll. I would seriously consider using groth instead.

The best advise I can give you against hardcore spawn is be patient. Play as if you had started over and try to reach some kind of susteniable food source and make a compass to find your way to your main base. the next time yu spawn there you wil be able to return to your base in no time. If you do ...

Y always go for the iron pick first, but I ussually gather enought iron for the rest of the tools before finding the dimonds so i end up with a pumpkin farm before getting the diamonds.

Also, once you have diamonds you can quickly get some netherrack to start chocolate production and breed pigs.

I have a question about the new recipes to recombine slabs into full blocks. Is it intended that netherbrick blocks can't be recombined or is it an oversight?

Great. Thanks again for yor hard work.

Not sure how I feel about the slimes scaping my saw wall in my mobtrap.

Swamps really feel dangerous now though. I specially like the way the small slimes seems to surround you when figthing you.

Cement over the nether? Be careful, ghasts can spawn on any material, includig stone. Nether groth is more useful to remove nether spawn.

About being 30 years in the same company. As far as I know it's pretey standard. It's not very common leaving one company for another and companies only hire people that just finished their university studies.

Not sure if it's an AAA title but I'm enjoying Styx: Master of Shadows rigth now. In the harder difficulty setting you do't have combat mechanics if an enemy reaches you it's an instakill.

Loved the mod. It really reaches the queality of the main game and the harder puzzles are very welcomed after an easy main game. Are there timing based puzzles like in the first game? Just trying to gauge what kind of difficult it will be: The fun thinky kind or the frustrating twitch reflex kind. M...

It's a shame not having the time rigth now to play the game. It looks interesting. After beating SpaceChem Infinifactory felt a bit to easy to me, but I've enjoyed it the same.

You can place water in the End as if hardcore buckets didn't exist.

My circuit is very similar to that, but i've added a redstone line from the hopper to the pulser circuit, so the dispenser stops once the hopper is full of eggs

looks like the steel presure plate texture is missing. The same happened in the previous incarnations of the pack.

I tend to prefeer using the bedrock level at the overworld, 3 level strata stone is fairly blast resistant. So I dig myself a room filled with walls to hide behind to heal with potions. Of course, full diamond armor and sword (everything enchanted with the best I can get) is needed. If the enchantme...

It's definitely possible, and I know I've done it before. Making your potions splash really helps if I remember right, as you can launch them instantly instead of having to spend time slurping them, and I think the wither also takes damage from healing potions, so you can both heal yourself and hur...

I kinda agree with the plants. It would add a bit more of consistency. But I don't agree with the monster part. I like to think that monsters are not appearing just because time is passing. They are actively looking after the player. So even if time is passing when you are not arround I don't see an...

I also prefeer the pick first. In my case it's because mining coal with stone is just painfully slow. And with enougth coal exploring caves for more iron becomes considerably easier. So when I make my first pickaxe in my next mining trip I ussually gather enougth iron for another pickaxe and the hoe...

Finished the main campaign. I've really enjoyed the theme of the last world. Now I guess it's time to revisit the first levels and see if I can do some optimising to the earlier designs. It has been a really fun game, and something I was looking for since I finished SpaceChem.
