Question: is it possible to create infinitely repiclating spawners? By my logic you have to limit it to a number of recursions, like for example you could have a structure like this (simplified)
#Original spawner -> spawns
##Spawner1 -> spawns
###Spawner2 -> spawns
etc.

and once you stop adding spawners in spawners in spawners you will end up with a "final spawner" doing nothing. Am i right? I hope I'm not. I want 100% self replicating spawners that have a 50% chance of spawning a mob and a 50% chance of spawning themselves. Infinitely. Stop them quick or they'll bury you. Is it possible or not?

Unfortunately, you are right, you could make them duplicate a ridiculous amount of times, but never infinite.

You'd probably crash the game from having too many nbt tags inside one spawner if you even tried to get close to appearing to be infinite. Infinite would be impossible however. You could just make the first spawner minecart invincible.

Inferno Mines Beta

Episode 4

I feel like bows have too few enchantments and are generally not very useful near the end of maps except for blazes and ghasts. I feel like there should be an enchantment that makes bows like they were in beta. It could be called Rapidfire and would cut the draw time to full draw into a quarter of the time. It should probably be pretty rare of an enchant.

Anyone else here think this would be a good idea?

Alright, I'm playing Nightmare Realm. I've got to say, I think the white wool was far too easy. In fact, even though the sign at the beginning suggested it would be harder, I felt like it was much easier than the beginning of Legendary. But IMO NR is much more fun.

Also, you only gave me one pair of man pance. And they wore out.

RIP Man Pance 2013-2013.

I agree, I kinda miss the way beta bows worked
Edit: though I think it should be full on Rapidfire no drawback at all (maybe the enchant lowers the amount of damage that each arrow does?)

I sort think it's cool but in Beta it required about 5 arrows to kill one mob, now it requires 3, and 1-2 shots if you got a decent Power enchantment, so it'd really just be a machine gun dropping everything in sight, so it's sort of good/bad idea, imo

I guess if it'd be a quarter of the time drawback it might be OK.

Theoretically, it would be impossible to be infinite, but you could add enough recursions so that, for all intensive purposes, it would be infinite.  I don't think there would be a way to make a spawner spawn itself.  However, practically, I'm not sure if the game's engine could handle it.

I think that would be a cool enchantment.  If we also had an enchant that made the bow shoot every time it was fully charged, that would be quite a powerful combo.  Bows are certainly less helpful with a certain playstyle, but if you go through the areas by shooting every mob that has spawned then lighting up the spawners, they're obviously more helpful.  Also, I think they're more useful dealing with natural spawns than spawners.

The white wool of NR is really easy if you managed to retrieve TNT from the spawn house, and just bomb the top of it.  It's also not too hard if you conquer one of the outpost towers first and get a crap load of arrows to shoot the ghasts with.  A lot of NR is about conserving resources, if you can master that, you'll have a much easier time.  Also, figuring out clever tricks like the TNT dropping helps a lot.

Inferno Mines Beta

Episode 4

Spoiler:

It is better to combine two perfect versions for an even more perfect version of the spider fang rather than combining an chipped and a perfect. Maybe you should go back and farm some FlameVenoms. (I haven't finished the video yet). Ed: Nvm, didn't notice the unbreaking level.

New community question: Do you prefer random loot chests or custom mobs that drop 'custom' loot?

Spoiler:

The reason you can't combine 2 perfect swords is because the anvil will cap the unbreaking down to 3 if you try to combine two enchanted weapons instead of it staying at 10. If you just repair with a plain sword the unbreaking will stay at 10.

I would have to choose random loot chests because chests can't kill you

On the topic of recursive spawners: Can they be spawners for something other than pigs, or has that been changed as well?

Tell that to a trapped chest plus turret combo.

I'm more for custom enchanted books spawning in dungeons with special enchantments.
e.g. Overdraw, Rapidfire, Poison, etc.
(Dungeon loot is still useless Dinnerbone)

I believe that because of the new falling sand entities being able to store nbt data: yes.

[YuriKahn]

All I can think of is falling chests.

In Vechs related news - He may soon be a Hero in Towns I mentioned it and the head Dev liked the idea, said he would add Vetches if Vetches asked. I just hope it happens, because it would be terribly amusing

[Apollo9898]

In other Vetches related news, Paulsoresjr threw a shoutout to him in his newest Man Vs. Minecraft video.
