The usefulness of this post really is significant and continues to be relevant. I would merit it should be stickied.

While I do like the new found emphasis on sheep for wool (which makes more sense than spider silk) I am now curious what I am supposed to do with all this string I get from my mob trap? I don't see myself needing a lot of bows or fishing poles. You make it sound like silk might become a material but...

What I also like about it is that together with the creeper oyster, it gives a strong incentive to hunt for creatures that make you empty your bowels in your wool pants. The stuff monsters now drop is something that will make your (MC)life so much easier. And every mob now drops something that make...

Personally, I don't think finding rare treasure in a rare place is overpowered. I would hope that coming across a rare archaeological dig site would yield something highly valuable. As was said earlier, finding a couple diamonds early on is not nearly as much a game changer as finding carrots or eve...

I'm not willing to leave it in unless I fix it in some way. I'm currently trying to "wrap up" BTW by tying up loose ends both in the mod and in vanilla in order for the mod to present a cohesive gameplay experience that I will feel satisfied in calling "complete". Personally, I ...

My Problem is that Villagers can ask for 17 or more chickens in a single trade. Food stack size limitations have been great, no complaints there. Villagers asking for more than i can handle is tough, though. I am curious if this is something that is going to change eventually or if it is an intenti...

I find it highly amusing that I am at a point where I have determined that in order to get to the End, I have to have a chicken farm. I know, you're probably thinking, "What the heck do chickens have to do getting to the end??" And so the train of thought goes like this: In order for me to...

I noticed that maps can still be put in a crucible to return 4 iron bars instead of iron nuggets.

Has anyone tried putting three together in the crafting grid with wood on top and bottom like the recipe for bookcase? I would try, but I have not yet found any.

I didn't realize this until today because I have not had a need to re-acquire pigs in some time, but I only just realized how dependent getting pigs to follow you is on finding carrots. I hadn't realized that they no longer followed wheat and I've used kibble to breed them but only just realized tha...

Wow, now I feel like an idiot. I wasn't aware that you could in the first place. I guess I had gotten so used to other mods that had coal dust where charcoal wouldn't work that I didn't realize that BTW was not one of them.

I would suggest avoiding the hard to read colors in your post.

Wouldn't coal be of even lesser value now that people have to mine 9x the iron to do the same thing? Even when smelting SFS, to gain the iron needed to produce it, there is now a greater chance you'll have 9x the coal that you normally would have by the time you get the iron amount you need (assumi...

I consider bedrock level mining not to be a lost cause (which again, is why I left gold as is), but to be specific, what I have triaged is surface level mining late game, when coal and iron cease to be meaningful deposits. Now hang on, I wouldn't say that coal ceases to be meaningful even in late g...

... Anyway, I'm rambling a bit. My main point is pigs. If you can find an area where a bunch of pigs spawned then you're set for an incredibly long time. I would almost say indefinitely because I have never run out of food relying on porkchops but I'm not sure on how quickly they respawn compared t...

Give them an inch... An infinite food source with additional storage space that repels creepers and attacks enemys. (face palms on top of face palms) http://i.imgur.com/TcqsX7a.png I REALLY don't understand.... Why? Please tell me this is only possible in creative and that seing rediculously stacke...

I can't say much about the buddy block other than that it detects block updates, like for instance cobblestone turning into mossy cobblestone. Regarding your problem with pistons and seeds, I had a similar problem but I was able to fix mine by have the piston push a glass block into the plant to bre...

Turn amplitude of A to max
Turn amplitude of B to 50%
Turn wavelength of A to max
Turn wavelength of B to 75%

Reverse wave direction.

I call it the worm.

Man, I feel like with every release you put out, I get further and further behind. You add so much stuff on such a regular basis that I don't think I'll ever be able to catch up until you officially stop adding content. That's not a complaint, it's a statement of astonishment because I don't think I...

They're a potentially frigging awesome aspect of the game, but I've been torn because my plans to get them there would be exceedingly time consuming (like I could easily see myself spending a month of dev time on villagers alone). I think I can get them to a level where they're good though, even if...

I am aware of that, but my deaths have been few and far between. I am not talking about dying and then two minutes later dying again.

Well I know where my original spawn was because it was right next to a village that I then proceeded to build next to. I never strayed far from my original spawn.

FlowerChild wrote:So yeah, I'd avoid constructing either of those farm types in-game in the near future as they are likely to become obsolete shortly.

So, with that being said, I'm assuming that the arcane scrolls that are currently associated with both will either go away or be attached to new sources?

In my own experience with hardcore spawn, it always dumps me in the same place. I have a somewhat old map, but not that old. And it's not even like I am on a small island. There is an ocean biome nearby, but there is plenty of land in the other direction. Regardless, whenever I die, I always seem to...

Two things, first off thanks for the hint on what the obsidi beacon does, more experimenting inbound! Second is a question. Will nether mobs spawn on nether brick half slabs? (when the slab is in the top 1/2 space of the block) And a great thanks to you for creating a larger "spawning box"...
