Popularity is worthless. Mo' Creatures is popular and all it does is clutter the world with too many animals. Many adore Tekkit stuff and all it does is clutter the crafting recipes and complicate the game.
Few mods should ever be officially added. Pistons was a great addition but it's an exception, not the rule. Of course optimization and graphical stuff would be fine (big fan of connective and randomized textures, but both would have to be options, not mandatory additions)...But most popular mods are only mods for good reason.
Works great. Only opens with the right code, reset button does its job...But it doesn't reset if I enter a wrong number. If the code is 1234 and I enter 127, it should reset the lock. As-is, all it takes to break the lock is entering every number until the right ones are found.
Anybody know how to add models to the mod? I've made a few but don't know how to actually use them...Also don't know how to animate (sitting, dancing, etcetera) but that's not all that important for the NPCs I'm trying to make.
We've all done it and those who haven't are lying about it. Given relatively unrestricted creative control, people can, will, and have built entirely pointless things just because they can. Whether it's some overly-complicated device to accomplish a fairly simple end (Gotta love Rube Goldberg) or something with no function beyond looking neat, Minecraftia is a land riddled with useless junk.
For whatever reason, while testing out excavation methods with TNT (specifically, raining TNT from a 3x3 grid of dispensers), I looked at the giant hole it left and said "This needs lava."
So, I filled the dispensers with lava buckets and let loose. The result, unexpectedly, ended up being this physics-defying pillar. I liked the look of it so I loaded water buckets into the dispensers and dumped the stuff onto the lava. Some squids spawned in the falling water and a few spawned in the holes in the top...They died.
Soon, I shall begin an even more time-consuming and convoluted task. I have a picture which I shall recreate via pixel art. Unlike most such art, it will be built flat against the land so that when I craft a map, the art will appear on said map. I will then frame the map and hang it as a custom photo. It will take hundreds of thousands of blocks and is by far the most insane method of photography ever...But that's Minecraft.
So, what's the most pointless thing you've done/built/plan to build in Minecraft?
I am currently a Moderator on a prison server. When I am the only one on, I usually review tickets (Problems players have with server issues, bugs, etc.). Once I finish that, I usually either take advantage that no one is on and stroll the prison in peace or play some survival games other servers
"Prison server"? That sounds exceedingly unpleasant...
At any rate, when I'm alone in a server and bored, I do this.
Ah, redstone...Magic dust that can create anything from automated doors to fully functional giant calculators to Pong.
Wondrous stuff, and yet...It has a really hard time adhering to walls, forcing people to lead it up staircases and other stupid crap for no reason beyond being a pain.
With redstone blocks, it seemed like those days would be gone...Nope. You see, the blocks let people send redstone vertically...But it's far from actually being useful because they're always on.
The suggestion: Make the blocks toggleable ("always on" versus..."not") via right-click. And in the case of "not", they become like any other redstone device, and as such can be powered by an "on" redstone block.
Say you've got a pillar of pistons. As-is, redstone blocks make powering such things easier...But still pointlessly difficult, especially with a greater number of devices needing power. As-suggested, you put a pillar of redstone blocks beside the pistons. Toggle them to not always be on, hook up a switch. Push button, all blocks toggle on, all pistons activate. No worthless staircases cluttering the area, just a nice clean simple contraption.
Just imagine a world where Mojang made basic redstone work simple instead of pointlessly annoying. Wouldn't that be a delight?

Because 50% is only half of a massive playerbase and 40% is even less. Did you think before asking that?

Here ya go.
Essentially the right code activates the five pistons, completing a circuit to the door (or what will be a door anyway).

I once did that to a desert biome. No idea why.

My most pointless creation is most definitely this...Thing right here.

Nice.
But..."Oh no, lava! *resumes mining*" isn't exactly the way to react. XD
