Re: Lightning. It strikes

I just build with all my stuff out of cactus, that way it's completely safe.

Also, regardless of how lighting rods interact with lightning though, they do prevent it from starting fires, which is what is important, no?

Re: Disabling Hardcore Spawn in v4.8999999?

Spawn range is limited to about two thousand blocks in each direction from initial spawn. It's quite possible to create landmarks that cover this range (may I recommend the great wall of cactus?). Roads are a nice example that also allows you to get back to base quicker.

Re: Simple Mob Grinding (aka ocelots really need a mob cap)

Haha, well, they are peaceful after all. They just spawn under the guise of being hostile ;) Speaking of which, if you were somehow able to prevent any other hostile mobs from spawning (and therefore filling up the hostile mob cap), a cat farm would be quite efficient (effectively having no cap and ...

Go go cat farm!

Balance issues. I'll fix it by Sunday at the latest, assuming no one else does before me. Lack of info. Yellow particles are "females", black are "males". It's a temporary measure to help distinguish between the two. For general infomation, I would check the design document, her...

Re: Cultivating the End

1. The End on MP will surely run out eventually, even if it's set on Large Biomes. While this is technically possible, it will not happen unless players actively attempt to mine out the entire end island. The one on edolas has over half a million endstone blocks, and would take over 200 mattocks wo...

Re: btwkirkor - BTW V4.89999999 Hardcore server

You mentioned that you didn't make the launcher, is it a project from some other source?

If so, and if it's say for example a git repository, I'd be very interested, as this kind of stuff is quite relevant to some other projects of mine ^-^

Re: Unusual but Fun way to Farm Gold Part 2

Point taken.

Yup, it was somewhere on that order (several hours at least). Also, whisp's gold farm is much more effective in regards to production per time.

I suppose in the end it's more of a nice bonus to finding the temples, and helps to pay for the invisibility potions ;)

Re: Unusual but Fun way to Farm Gold Part 2

I get this on normal biomes as well.

Over a course of 3 to 5 temples, I managed to get a similar amount of gold, while searching for vessels.

Minor visual bug with kiln

Kilns appear to be unable to display multiple "breaking" overlays. Example pic below:

Only one texture is shown at a time, though it will switch around depending on the angle you view it at.

I can confirm that it isn't a texture error, as I was with gates on the mining trip using the default texture pack and saw it as normal stone.

Re: BTW server plugins? protection, lock - possible requests

Well, it's not really a plugin at this point, as the word plugin implies there's some sort of api that I'm using to extend functionality.

However this will be a server side only mod, which does as you describe. (Monitor client <--> server traffic and make decisions based upon such)

Re: BTW server plugins? protection, lock - possible requests

Just thought I'd mention that the stakes are likely out as an option, though I like them. Using stakes would require decompiling BTW, which I am trying to avoid, for simplicity.
