Hi everyone:)Great to know on the lava and chests Kastrel.
Has anyone found an abandoned mine and then cleaned it out of wood and so on?
I have narrowed down my castle building. Now looking for a good spot!
Debating on the type of material to use. I am not keen on endermen stealing my work!
Any suggestions?
@Kastrel and @Vault i got everything moved over to the new world and in the process of that I have found a ravine right near my spawn point, however it was covered. I almost fell down into it! So I am getting ready to go down to the bottom and see if by chance an abandoned mine shaft is near by!
I just need to get my compass made and then I am off...so I can find my way back again! I get lost real easy!
I will have to update what I have completed for this so far.
Next posting!
I need to get into the Nether and also locate a strong hold..i will have to update my list of chests i have completed.
@Kastrel and @Vault:
Do either of you use any of the following?
Any texture Packs or the Random Mob pack?
You should finish the Chicken related goals. Getting a full double chest of Raw chicken takes me about 12 hours. So maybe, 3-4 days and it could be done.
About to start fighting the dragon, what should I enchant with the levels from it?
I have quite a large, egg farm. Perhaps a little TOO large. I've noticed that 1 chicken is 11 eggs / hour, on average. And by these calculations, you need about 208 chickens to get it done in 12 hours. I have I think 300-400. Cuz I get about 4500 eggs / hour. (4437 last I tested)
Dividing this 4437 by 8. (1/8 chance to get a chicken. So 8 eggs = 1 chicken.)
This is 554.625 chickens in 1 hour, assuming I did NOT throw all the eggs into a SECOND egg farm that I use to store chickens that die. It would take 6.2312373225152129817444219066937 hours. Well, a little longer cuz that's as far as the Windows calculator can display.. So usually about 3-4 hours, as every hour 554 chickens get added to the farm. Which... Pretty much adds an extra 554 chickens to the next hourly take.
But I can't stay and watch it for 3-4 hours straight. So yeah, 12 hours :tongue.gif:
Although, if my calculations are off... I have double the amount it takes. I haven't actually COUNTED them all.... No way in hell lol.
So my computer had to be completely wiped without any data being able to be saved so I lost every single Minecraft save and backup I had since I didn't have any on flash drives yet. Anyway, I've decided I'm going to be using MCNostalgia to play 1.1.2_01 Alpha and then slowly update and make a world like that. I think it'll be fun having some areas with biomes and some without. If I ever need to find new land I've decided I'll use the Nether for that. I'll be restarting the collector challenge then. The main problem in this version is that tool durabilities are much less than what they are now.
I'd advise using only iron or lower tools as you should wait until Beta 1.2 so the diamond pickaxe has 500 more uses. If you want to be really extreme, you could wait until 1.0.0 so you can enchant them for Unbr-III. Sorry to hear about your computer troubles and I hope you have fun with your setup.
PS, complete the stone slab chest before any more updates.
Thanks, I completed the stone slab chest already and currently I'm in 1.2.0_02 of Alpha still. The only downside to this is that I can't completely finish my storage area until the bug comes around that makes chests with stairs or slabs on them work still and the fact that my nether portal keeps making a new one nearby.

I LIKE using Bordercraft, but it is never fully updated anymore, which is a massive shame. Aside from a few utility programs, however, I do not use any mods.
Out of interest, to anyone doing this challenge: what kind of picks do you use for mining?
I assume diamond, but wonder if you use iron instead.
Primarily iron, or even stone. At this point in time, iron seems to be closer to being finished than diamond. I hate to waste the diamonds, so I rarely use diamond picks.
I only turn on peaceful when I need to "reset" things. My mob grinder, in its day, would get bogged down sometimes, due to mobs spawning at the very far range of the spawnable area. I would go to peaceful then back again occasionally to reset that.
I finished my double chest of golden apples after a long, long time of grinding. Definitely worth it to get that off my chest.
Ugh! Even the improved golden chest formula is a nightmare. I'm impressed. 1 chest of apples and gold was enough.
Moving on . . . since we've had a few updates, I figure its time to update the list!
New items:
Jungle wood
Jungle Saplings
Jungle leaves
Fire Charge
"Blocks" Red Disc
"Chirp" Crimson Disc
"Far" Other Green Disc
"Mall" Blue Disc
"Mellohi" Purple Disc
"Stal" Black Disc
"Strad" White Disc
"Ward" Dark Green Disc
Golden Apples
What farms do you use to optimise the amount of saplings dropped over an area? Planting trees with bonemeal and harvesting them and waiting for the leaves to decay still takes a while and doesn't get a huge amount of apples.
I just made a big area and planted trees and cut them down. It wasn't really efficient, because I didn't really think of how I could make it efficient. Me and two people on my server worked on it for at least 20 hours if you combined our times.

I'm impressed. I poured at least half that much time into farming trees for apples and walked with maybe 3 or 4 stacks. I wish I knew how you did it, because I have another 104 stacks to go.
thanks !
I just posted screenshots of my old world a few pages back.

I use my enchanted diamond with Looting III and Unbreaking II.
I also have a plugin on my collector server that has a better repair setup.
