I sympathize with you. My gardens have unnecessary defense as well. I have piston traps, and dispensers that fire arrows, and a sheep still manages to get through and step on my crops.

A solution to this problem is to make and indoor garden, like inside your house.


Oh, okay. Maybe villages might have some...? I'm not sure.

yes the farm is in my house. in a way you could say my house is upsidedown i started on the bottom floor on the top side of the mountain then as i worked my way down finally on the 3rd floor i got my wheat farm, to the left in another room is the melon and pumkin farm, and to the right in another room is the Netherwart farm. and the only way to access my house is to either go to the front door which is always closed so no mobs can get through there (not to mention that the mobs would have to either jump up the side of the mountain or take my giant bridge that starts at a swamp biome just to get to my front door) or mobs are gonna have to learn how to climb ladders because those are to only two ways to get in. front door or ladder.

I've heard people say mobs are able to climb ladders.

Even though the door is closed, I believe that mobs can spawn inside.

This is such a.... mystery

hostile mobs won't spawn inside if the light level is high enough. Passive mobs will not usually spawn inside a house or cave in my experience.

I know that hostile mobs won't spawn if theirs many torches. But in my experience, passive mobs can spawn inside buildings.

I guess that would depend on the size of the interior. Most of my dwellings are small and cramped, but I've never had anything spawn inside any of my larger houses either. I had a pig spawn inside my arboretum once, but it was made entirely of glass, so maybe the sunlight has something to do with it?

Passive mobs spawn on grass blocks struck by sunlight.

That's probably why. My Dad's house has no flooring... just grass.

passive mobs like sheep,cows,pigs can only spawn on certain terms my house meets none of those terms so im good.

yep i too, was about to mention the grass. my house is of stone so no passives for I.

I wonder why this is happening then....

wow.. the one bug i actually wanted them to fix didnt even get fixed. people, host or not, still randomly become invisible except now it could be temporary. didnt 4J say they fixed this

I have 3 questions that I will also answer in this post that should start up a great conversation:

1. What have you built since the update came out?

We started a new map with the skyrim mash-up pack, I took over a desert village, built walls, built an underground house, and a chicken coop and cow enclosure, the two children are close to the village for trading, one has a nether portal underground but has a hard time surviving there, and the fourth player lives on mooshroom island but we built a rail to the village.

2. When and what do you think the next update will be?

I think it will be the scary update because people have said it is the next one after this one and I think it will come around Halloween. Only makes sense.

3. What will you make when the candy texture pack comes out?

I don't really have any plans for this one, I will probably do what I always do and wait to see it and then let the ideas roll in.

In reference to TU14+

1. Actually been working with my creative/survival map. So I will just say what I added since TU14. A blacksmith, mine entrance/walkthrough, extended the terraced wheat farm, couple bridges, and a house or two. Can't remember if I planted the forest before or after the initial update.

On multiplayer I worked on a farming hole. Basically a base in a mountain mainly meant for farming stuff. Also made the portal in there with a stairwell going down to it. That managed to be be practically on top of the nether fortress. Which I proceeded to build a safe path down to it and made a shield wall to stop the ghasts from invading my walk with fireballs.

What that base has that I built was a small storage room with furnace & crafting table, Made both ways into the mountain base more interesting looking to the eye, Made a fishing dock extended from one of the entrances with a roof to keep mobs out, pig pen, cow pen, two tier farming ground for the 3 basic crops, lookout post built into the mountain facade that is part of the other enterance, and a bridge from the main entrance out to a plains area that gows over a stream.

Other than that just a simple branch mine and simple walkway bridges over little streams. Oh yeah a couple tree farms, although those are outside one of the entrances between it and the mine entrance.

2. I don't guess time frame, not my thing. I am just too patient. On the other thing I would say possibly hoppers & droppers and a better way of log placement. slime spawning in swamps maybe. I am not too keen on the subject as I like just seeing what they put in each update as it gets fleshed out & put out.

3. probably won't mess with it much since all I could really do is use the trial edition when it comes out. I have the texture pack I like and that is the fantasy one, as well the natural one. Although I wouldn't mind seeing a silver version of the fantasy one that is a nice pack. Not really all that excited of the candy one, as it is not usually my way of building. Although would be interesting to tinker with.

Yes, they did say they fixed this, but people are still becoming invisible, at least in my world they are.

I get annoyed with the log placement thing too. Its hard to position yourself so that the wood rotates in the right direction. There is actually a suggestion on making log placement easier here

1. What have you built since the update came out?
surprisingly not much im working on a railroad so my friends can get that one achievement, i worked on my mass effect adventure map a bit, and also my smash bros map. not much since i haven't been playing minecraft much.
2. When and what do you think the next update will be?
im goin with somewhere in july but im hoping sooner because i dont think i can last with this invisible bug
3. What will you make when the candy texture pack comes out?
as i always do for other peoples enjoyment, another adventure map or parkour map with this texture pack maby a type of mini game.

Q: What have you built since the update came out?

A: Mostly building a hunger games map, and enjoying the new features

Q: When and what do you think the next update will be?

A: Probably June or July

Q: What will you make when the candy texture pack comes out?

A: Nothing different, I don't buy texture packs.

What I built since the update is a village that takes up the hole map in survival.

The next update mite be in August.

Once the Candy texture pack comes out I will make another village called Candy Land, and it will float a few blocks above ground in survival.

yeah, however I had something a bit more simpler in mind, which I have mentioned in the prior bug thread and in that thread prior to this post. Based on target block facing & not player facing; roughly what it is in technical terms I believe.... But regardless something hopefully will be done of it.

Alright, I like Tamorr's response to the first question, lots done and lots of details. I like Kaelsie666's response to the third question, of course everyone's thinking candyland with this texture pack. Floating a few blocks above ground sounds cool. Someone will probably do something extreme with it and post it on youtube, I'll have to try to remember to look for it a little while after it comes out. As for the second question I do believe someone on here informed me that the pretty scary update should be the next one we'll get, if it is released near Halloween, as it should, that's 7 months from the last one. This amount of time seems like what is probable, especially since that would be a big update. When was the last time we got another update only 3 months after the last one? I've read they are only supposed to be 3 to 4 months apart but whoever said that maybe should retract that statement.

I never new that is was a scary update. Knowing that I agree with, it shud be somewhere around october and near halloween.

i hope so too healer i just cant see how it could become easier to place wooden blocks though. i have a feint idea but i cant really see how they would do it.

yeah the wood block placing is annoying they shud fix it.
