Re: [SPOILERS] 3.80 feature discovery thread

Consistent with the notion of Arcane Scrolls representing acquired knowledge, the Scrolls do not burn in stoked Crucibles, making them safe for however you sort your mob farm items. Good thing, too, because I probably would have let it burn just hoping for an easter egg. I haven't seen much discussi...

Re: A History of Names

This name is dumb. It comes from "experience" and "hit points" in video games. It was the first "original" name I came up with and stuck with after many, many accounts that were just permutations of the words "super" and "sonic" with a couple of numb...

Exp's Final World (Let's Play) (now with 100% more HCS!)

Exp's Final World is my attempt to put an end to my terrible case of New World ADD, and build up a world with a big history and a lot of memories; something worth keeping. I call it a "sporadic Let's Play" because updates are irregular and infrequent. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy what is ...

Re: Turntables Reversing with a Redstone Signal

Ah, you're right, the OP does not appear to have any mention of this.

Although interestingly, I've been aware of this behavior despite never taking advantage of it, which leads me to believe that at some point it was mentioned there... either that, or I learned it from the old demonstration videos.

Re: Is there a renewable source of clay?

But, assuming that BTB Intake Pipes will operate on Ender Chests (which would most likely require Mojang to decide not to have player-specific Ender Chests after all), then if you publish your SSP world and have another player stay in the Nether indefinitely to keep chunks loaded, there exists a the...

Re: Is there a renewable source of clay?

For what it's worth, the Kiln already can convert Wood into Charcoal. With a tree farm that allows trees to grow naturally, every step can be fully automated except for, as Itamarcu suggests, carrying Iron to the Nether or carrying soul dust to the Overworld. There is no place in which both of these...

In countries that use the NTSC standard (United States, Japan, Canada, etc), 60Hz/120Hz are all that exists. I've never seen a native 50 Hz TV in my life.

Your issue is not with BTW, but with vanilla behavior. Wood does not burn for very long. If it did, we might end up with the problem once again of biome-spanning forest fires. "It makes sense" is not alone a good reason for a suggestion. I see no reason to burn wood when you can just as fr...

Re: In which i show off my crazy XP Farm (Mobtrap Item sorti

I could. However - i a, suck at timers. B - The actual output of bows/armor etc is sporadic enough that coming up with a working timer would almost certainly be more hassle than it's worth - as it is, the player can just drop past occasionally and do it manually.
