STARTING a wheat farm and maintaining a tree farm.
At the start when I need wheat to make bread, I'm not going to have killed 7 skeletons already, especially with their new buff. I agree with the tree nerf but not with the crop nerf. However, I think that everyone will have forgotten this a week after 1.5 because bonemeal is useless once you have a decent farm going. Suggestion: bonemeal + lapis + rotten flesh = embalming fluid. Three in one! If anyone can think of what it could do...���� Maybe used in brewing or enchanting?
Everything else grows naturally eventually. 7 for one wheat is a bit ridiculous though.
has anyone checked to see how many bone meal is required for the large trees? it would make sense to need 2 bone meal for EACH of the 4 saplings, and only then it will grow into a huge tree.
EDIT: *and flowers/tall grass and large mushrooms, forgot about them!
Anything can be done strategically. You can fence your village off strategically. I for one welcome this mechanic, getting a bit tired of my minecart contraptions getting broken by a stupid zombie chillin' on the tracks. Although I'd agree that mobs being afraid of (moving) carts could actually be a more sensible solution. Either way, I'm glad this one's in.
As for the bonemeal issue, I'm not really fretting over it too much, it makes sense and it doesn't. Although 7 to grow 1 measly wheat crop is a bit stupid, you need wheat fast because you're poor. Who the hell is gonna waste 7 meals on 1 wheat crop? I suppose it may now be about advancing a stage of 7 crops by 1 rather than fully growing 1 but surely done this way because it was a trivial programming change, 1 meal-1 stage stage, no big whoop. And with so many complaints the next things we'll get is 20-stage growth for trees - to get things more in logical balance
Besides, growing food doesn't take that long of a process.
Despite that... dibs on the TNT dispensers.
i love the new dispencers placeing up and down.This means more traps and other things. that is the only real plus i see in this update.
Orrrr it is a twenty stage growth and they really just forgot a 0 at the end of the code o.O
Difficulty of hardcore mode could be changed by /difficulty.
"I don't use it so it's a great idea to nerf it" - Really, people...?
As far as I can tell, Mojang never makes changes without a reason behind it. It may not immediately be obvious when they first happen, but we have seen in the past that changes relate to further, future changes that turned out really well. Before we all start comdemming or worshipping changes in snapshots (which are TEST changes, I might add) and getting on each others backs about our varied opinions on them, maybe we should wait and see what these current changes relate to in future updates. Nobody makes extra work for themselves without good reason, so I really doubt that they do any of these changes for the hell of it.
"Don't let your arrow loose until you know that your aiming at a Creeper" is my advice. Be patient and wait until you are at least justified in your condemnations/worship later on, that way...at least it won't blow up on your fancy carpet.
Every snapshot i see a automated thing, so,what they want?
Btw, i loved this snap XD
