Re: Mojang's Nerfing of Endermen: Thoughts

ederrman were and still are like a bad boy that destroy my lego things. i always hated that feature and made me rage quit some really established worlds in vanilla. i still don't like that they pick up blocks in BTW but at least FC made them dangerous so it's a fair trade.

Re: How should I clear activated TNT?

open it in mcedit and remove the TNT. get the latest version. beware that the subblocks wont get light when saving with mcedit, so you need to place and remove a blocks near them to update the subblock

Re: Vanila MC bug - keeping animals from suffocating

actually cobblestone walls are more glitchy that fence walls. animals can escape from cobblestone walls when they grow up not only at chunk load. this does not happen with fence walls at all no matter how many animals are in there. try to place some torches on your cobblestone wall and you'll see mo...

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

I think too many off the comments here are just based around bashing anything related to the updates of vMC. Specifically, having only smoothstone being used in crafting recipes: yes it draws out the early game, no it isn't bad or useless. If you look at BTW most of the recent changes are accomplis...

Re: Witch Farms

you can only have 2 spawning pads where only witches can spawn in it and that surface is limited. you really need to light up caves around. if the hut is in a lake even better, else you need to light up the above ground too.

Re: Flower's Dev Diary (Week Of March 18th)

i was able to pinpoint the missing waterfalls bug, as it's only vanilla related. it happens if a map was generated before mojang added the new scrolls as loot in dungeons. so dungeons chunks may be a bit different in 1.4.7 that they were before the addition of scrolls. about trees i still need to do...

Re: Flower's Dev Diary (Week Of March 18th)

no terrain generation changed at all in my testing trip. lamps in dessert villages still have the midair torches, cuz are made with smooth sandstone.
i also found a way to exploit the abandoned villages to have a bigger chance to find good villages using hardcore spawn mechanics
