well i always build my machines in survival and even the testing is done in survival, but when some bug occurs, like the dreaded redstone bug where it behaves very strange depending of where the redstone machinery is placed in a chunk i always fire up creative and mcedit. it's better faster and very...

i do agree with you here, but there seems that there is no way to proper detect the full growth stage of potatoes and carrots using a BD. in my testing sometimes a carrot will grow two stages at once or in close succession and the growth recorder would detect only once thus closing the cycle. for w...

stated a new map today big taiga biome, pigs around pumpkins. my first thing was to get food asap and chop some wood. after it try to find a village. all was easy going i didn't really understood how to build up fat until i got a windmill up so i was mostly going around low on fat. i did got some da...

really Solymr! you survive just fine without finding a village
food is easy to get by hunting and farming also
chickens are still farmable with seeds also you did forget obout fishing, but maybe just waste some time reading this very thread

really game, really! no crops again!
OT pumpkins and chickens give you eggs and some meal and some easy tier 2 foods

tundra biome is the hardest. snow fall, snow removal low amount of trees and if you spawn in the middle of it most of the other biomes are a day trek.

how it affects the trading with villagers with lower stack food storage?

ok looks like the kebab don't need the mushroom, you can craft it without it and you can't craft it using mushrooms(maybe a bug?) and according to my mining charges, when you are down to one heart you cant even see what is next to you, and 3 or less hearts steve will make "hurt" noises wh...

fishing and killing animals is the way to go until you have a good amount of food for traveling. finding a village is very important now as there is no way to have wheat in good amounts. even then wheat farming is tedious as the seed drops are nerfed. ( may be better with some fortune tools). i did ...

actually noir oak works fine with sand pushers you just need to not let it grow branches.max height for oak is 7 including leaves and they should work for sand pushers

Hi Ion, Thanks a lot for your quick reply. Cant take a screenie as it has been taken down to be relocated.... My setup is exactly the same as on the youtube video, and yes it is in a 'tunnel' of dirt.... does that not work anymore? read this a bout tree growing http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tree

the lowest oak tree that can grow is six blocks high. 4 for the logs and 2 for the leaves. post a picture of your setup so we can give proper response. also oak trees don't grow in a tunnel like setup they need air blocks around

i want a pic of the evil space station from the future that MR. Grau discovered :p

to the OP if the mojang team can give you a parent some kind of parental controls when setting up a realm it may be good, if not it's just the same old server thing.

http://imageshack.us/a/img145/1680/20130313113811.jpg the planter in this setup doesn't update when carrots grow at last stage if it's moved by a piston or sucked in by a BD. sorry for the misinformation and your spent time FC, i wasn't aware that my setup got the crops before fully grown. the plan...

i have included a new carrot or potatoes farm with bonemeal to speed the growth rate. http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/2835/20130312114335.jpg edit i post here a variant with a piston. it seems that the above mechanism has a chunk bug placement where the planter BD doesn't spit out the carrots or po...

testing was done with latest mcpatcher vanilla textures btw versions 4.59 4.58 4.57 4.56 4.52 same map. 50 villagers nearby no recording test there was no significant drop or gain switching the versions. there is a significant drop of performance when watching versus a wall of item frames. biggest F...

Also PvP, although as I mentioned earlier, they basically made the trapped chests obsolete as soon as they implemented them by having comparators measure inventory contents. The difference between having a trap go off when you open a chest, versus when you remove an item from it, is negligible, mak...

actually i use all of aesthetics blocks for buildings and with great effect. i'm into a bit of love hate relationship with connected stairs. some building style that i was able to do before now is i bit wonky and not so good looking like before. but they also opened up different building types. i ne...

the carrots potatoes farm doesn't work in game as there isn't enough time for crops to drop. they remain over the planter thus negating the farming. i'm testing ATM a new setup. edit this would work. the upper BD is filled with 7 block redstone dust block http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5748/2013...

all minus the waterbreathing things from squids

I'm generally careless with my animal pens and just make a big box with a fence. I employ daily bloody massacres to avoid overcrowding, and I always plan to upgrade to an auto-breeding factory when I have the time/resources. Although I did this in Renewablock to keep the pesky brats from moving, gl...
