I'm sure you all have these moments and it would be cool to hear them. Here's mine from last night...
Was having loads of probs getting a mob spawner to work (this is in my hardcore survival map). First I built one only to find that the water trap kept freezing over. Fixed that and still wasn't getting much in it so posted on here, got some great advice, and decided to build a new one, higher up over the sea. Spent an age last night collecting resources, building a rail to the new location and then actually building it. This was going to be epic, perfect. Finished it, and nothing spawned. Waited...nothing. Guess what? I built it too high. Dooh. Okay, so forget the whole thing. By this point I didn't really need one anyway. So I decided to use it as a platform to continue my rail track to the other side of the map where the only village is located. I never really use villages, but thought it was time to start. So, collected resources and started building an elevated track around 100 blocks above the ground. Finally got to the village which conveniently had a small lake next to it. So I decided to just drop down into the lake and then build a ladder back up to my track. Except I misjudged and hit the beach. Dead. Started again building the track, arrived at village, made extra sure I was over the water, jumped, hit the water, DEAD. Water was shallow! Okay, third time lucky. I took a stack of gravel. Built the el track to the village, dropped the gravel, shovelled to ground level. Bingo. Went to explore the village and cool, it was full of villagers and an iron golem. Nice one. Oh look, and two skeletons attacking the villagers. So I charge in like the cavalry, kill the two skeletons and accidentally hit the golem, who is now real [redacted] off and brains me to death with two punches. So what did I do next? Fired up Black Ops 2. Guess what, things didn't get any better
Oh, and just to add insult to injury, each time I died my xbox crashed. But I guess that's for another forum...
I have an epic counter-fail to yours... not dying. I was playing with a group of very young players in their world helping them collect resources. After filling up my inventory, I decided it was time for me to part the game... which I usually do by putting everything in my inventory in a chest, writing a "will" on a sign, and then finding a way to promptly die. In this case, I put my chest on the top of a cliff, wrote my Will (instructing them to share the bounty equally amongst them), and jumped without bothering to look down and forgetting that they were playing on Peaceful mode. I hit a ledge and was only briefly injured. Jumped again and hit a pool of water at the bottom of the cliff and didn't die... again. By then the kids had climbed the cliff and raided the chest and were laughing at me from the top. It was real tempting at that point just to wade out into the deep water and drown myself... instead, I went back to mining again to collect another chestful to try willing to them a second time.
Ha! Nice one. I have another problem at the moment with my xbox pad. The left stick has been hammered and sometimes it sticks in the forward position and a few times i've been doing high builds and nearly come a cropper. Likewise near lava, though i always carry a fire resist potion with me now and keep it on my quick inventory!
I think I get over excited when i'm playing COD and BF. It's a wonder I haven't snapped the stick clean off yet. I do crouch a lot, but then get over confident, like those guys that walk the girders on sky scrapers! Sometimes get hypnotised by looking off the edge and wonder why all of a sudden the ground is coming up to meet me!
One of the things I like to do when a new Title Update comes out is load up whatever seed(s) I'm currently playing as a new world to see what changes. My TU8 world was a staple right up the day TU12 released. I had put tons of work into it. Massive underground base, complete with a subterranean forest easily over 100 blocks squared. Super efficient mob-grinder. Double chest nearly full of diamonds... It was my pride and joy.
When TU12 come out I reloaded the seed in Creative, scoped it out, decided I didn't like it too much, and promptly deleted.... the wrong world.
one time i was mining when i saw 2 dimonds i had been mining for what seemed like forever so i slowly approched them then i mined around them to make sure there was no lava the dimonds where a perfect square then mined one...then two then happliy look up to mine the rest when i find myself face-to-face with 5 creepers...BOOM i restart a my tiny home to research for my dimonds
One time I went on a mining Excursion into a relatively unexplored cave system, I turned a bend and placed a torch and there right in front of me was a diamond, so I went back to my underground base camp (only about 30 blocks away) to make an iron pickaxes then returned and was about to mine the diamond when I suddenly heard a sssSSSSS Boom! I jumped out of the way on time to save myself. The diamond however was blown to smithereens never to be seen again, so I made a quick trip to my diamond mine so I could feel happy again...
Completed a 64 x sphere only to find that I got off by 1 layer at around 40% up. Now I have a big hulking mass in the sky and no motivation to remove it. Still trying to fix it, but its like playing whack - a - mole. Fix one spot and it looks off in 3 new spots.
Built an iron golem farm with 2 towers - 2 "villages" on each tower. Bottom layer I built too high to build a second one above. Then I built the upper one as high as I could (and have golems spawn), dug down and built the lower layer again. Half way through completing the second tower, I realized that I had already hit my villager cap and hadn't even populated to the second tower.
