Haha yes I should backup more often but I usually just don't think of it, and don't want to go to the trouble of using one of those autoback mods.

And yeah maybe a ledge block could be neat, like a triangle or half block shape that sticks out as much as a door and goes on the edges of blocks. Don't know what you'd do with it besides make dangerous ledges though lol.

Ah you meant just using fences, I tried that and while they look smaller, you have just as much foot space as a regular block.

Also my computer just bluescreened and I lost the save I was building the ledge on, Time to start all over again I guess.

Yep tried fences, doors wont place on those. They wont place on signs, ladders, other doors, paintings, pretty much all the non standard cube blocks they won't go on.

I want to make a narrow ledge around my mountain side, and doors provide the perfect narrowness but still passable for this, but I am having trouble finding a way to detach them from the ground without shattering them, since doors on ground two blocks below aren't very dangerous, you can just hop off and walk along.

I've tried placing the door on top of a variety of blocks, but sadly they either accept the door but break the door when they break themselves, or don't accept the door.

I tried the door duplicating glitch that gets you one piece of floating door, and done correctly I can get it to be flat up against the mountain side, but I cant figure out a way to make more single floating door blocks next to the one broken off piece, as placing any doors or anything near the one broken piece causes it to turn back into an item and fall off. This seems to have the most potential if I could just figure out a way to get more doors next to it without breaking the floating piece.

Alternatively I tried ladders since you can walk along the tops of those too, but they just weren't dangerous enough for me since you can catch yourself if you slip off.

If any has any ideas or tricks I might use to get my ledge, please do tell.

Cool thanks, I thought I was updated but I guess not.

Am I the only one getting this issue? When you do the Jukebox recipe:





It results in a bookcase instead of a Jukebox. Anyone else getting this, should I try and make a new map and find the records all over again or is there some way around this?

How do you put a pig into a cart o_O

Just shove them into it and they get in since the latest update.

I hope to god this never gets fixed its so good and funny. I'm sure everyone has seen how animals now ride in minecarts, but I accidentally discovered something hilarious about this.

If you put a pig into the minecart, then place a saddle on the pig, and mount the pig in the cart, the game seems to like multiply the speed of the cart by like 2 or 4, and then on top of that pressing any directional keys while riding the pig in the cart causes the cart to suddenly go off at maximum speed. I was able to go straight up a ramp of like 60 track blocks from a stationary position, all with the power of pigs.

Pigs are the ultimate alternative to coal powered carts.

Sadly the downside to this is if you walk too far away from the pig, it will vanish from the cart along with your saddle just like any other mob. I hope Notch impliments animal farming and not despawning and all that soon.

Bad quality video here.
With more experimenting, pig in cart with saddle behaves very strangely in the physics department even off the tracks, lots of magic gliding around and general weirdness.

I'm liking this idea save for one part. Rather then Iron or Gold or Diamonds falling from the sky inside the meteor, Meteors should be made from something like Meteorite or Moonstone, a new ore type that could potentially used for some other purpose, for example whatever eventual magic system is put in place could use it, etc.

Now that lava can be placed in Buckets, I was thinking it would be neat to be able to use these lava buckets in the smelter as an alternate source of fuel for smelting things, a la Dwarf Fortress. Possibly a smelter specifically a lava smelter, using the regular smelter crafting formula only with a bucket with lava in it placed in the center, making a smelter that is for all intents and purposes always 'On.'

And on the other note, now with minecarts and caves, I am finding I go further and further around the map in Infinite and have a hard time finding my way back. It would be nice to have a compass item or compass on the hud, plus the ability to place some sort of marker that would appear on this hud to navigate by, since I don't know about everyone else, I get woefully lost very often.

I'm probably not the first one to have started doing this, but with the new water physics I've found little use for more then just a few ladders and a couple buckets since you can ladder your way up to a high place, dig one square or so to make sure it flows the proper direction and place down a spring, causing a waterfall to emit from where you just climbed and turn all the ladders back into placeable pickup entities as it runs over them. Then you can float down the fall and gather your ladders to rinse and repeat.

I know the game isn't exactly realistic but does anyone else think the current effect streams have now should work with Waterfalls as well, making it push down on you more then you are able to swim up them? Perhaps in a future version this could be good, since waterfalls are making ladders not necessarily obsolete but way less vital in terms of scaling flat cliffs.

I think of it more like the way unit groups in RTS work, when you have the items you want to be holding out, you press CTRL + # and they get remembered to that number, if you now press something like ALT + that number, it reselects them/moves them all to your items.

I would love to behold me some Secret Wizard robes. Perhaps they could come from 3x3 cloth and take on colors related to where you placed what block? Meaning say if you wanted a gold trim you would use yellow cloth around the outer edges of the 3x3 and blue cloth block in the center maybe?

I actually like this idea, massive underground spider cave with like some sort of chest or container already there that has some random tools in it.

I like the idea of having a second 'name' under your own name so it shows like:

Notch
Supreme Overlord

When you look at them. You could change the second title from your preferences or someplace. Maybe with some level of word filter so you don't have people with obscene tiles.
