Minecraft Forums

I can't really say that I support this idea.

Okay, lemme just point out that this has a total of zero uses in singleplayer mode, considering that there are no mobs that steal items from chests, nor will there ever be, considering that mob would be annoying and trollish.

I can't really see a use for this in multiplayer either, though.

If you decided to use this for the sake of keeping items safe from other players: You can't get bedrock in survival mode, and you can mine obsidian with a diamond pickaxe, so they would still be able to get at your stuff, provided you aren't using a block protection plugin. (Which removes the need for having any sort of Vanilla chest protection, anyway.)

Also, I'd think I'd rather just let the greifer get my stuff. He probably deserves his reward, and I may or may not be able to steal it back at some point.

What would "/fill x y z x2 y2 z2 minecraft:[id] replace all" do?

Not everyone plays on your laptop. You do know that right?

Minecraft forum is laggier for me than the actual game (ads, ads everywhere).

Just because you experience a problem, does not mean everyone does and, again, is not a major problem that must be addressed with the introduction of new blocks.

Lighting glitches aren't a very serious thing, so what's a major reason why we need a completely new block?

I wasn't talking about lighting glitches, I was talking about lighting updates. When a redstone torch switches on or off, Minecraft has to recalculate the light in the area. On awful laptops like mine, that can cause noticeable frame drops, even with a few redstone torches. (This is especially noticable at night, so I think it has a lot to do with actually rendering light, rather than just calculating it.)

@C1ff - that is your opinion, personally I don't know how crafting using 2 redstone dust could give you 4 redstone rods..

Quote from CannonFoddr»

IMHO I think you should only get a MAXIMUM of perhaps 2 Redstone Rods for the OP recipe..

I'd say at least four... this is a wire, after all.

Forthly, this will mean that everytime Mojang creates a new blocks, they have to consider to create the stairs version of it.

People above me says it's a great idea and supports it coz it is not very readily accessible coz you need blaze rods. And I completely disagree with them. Redstone Torches can send a signal upwards with ease and with minimal resources. Nobody needs an improvement for that.

Most servers have command blocks disabled but not regular player commands, if a moderator needs to keep a character in one position for a while they can use /suspend which is quicker than building a bedrock hut and teleporting, quicker than getting the command blocks ID number, placing it, typing in a command, setting it to be repeating then activating it with a lever that you have to find in your inventory.

Why would a moderator need to keep a player in a position, rather than just kicking them from the server? I don't really see a usecase for this. Besides, if a player is suspended, what's to stop them from simply logging out?

Also, nobody uses ID numbers before, you type in "/give @p minecraft:command_block".

Also, command blocks can't be used in survival mode, thus a person who needs to suspend someone quickly who are in survival could just use /suspend.

If this is a moderator, why can't they switch to creative mode?

Not to mention if the player who is being teleported over and over again doesn't hit any movement keys they can freely place blocks. With /suspend block placing and mining is disabled. However, you can still access your inventory.

You never said that in your post. I double checked.

Also with /tp on a repeating block can't keep players in place vertically, they'll just fall, sure they'll TP back up but that's just sloppy watching them plummet a few blocks before magically going back up to their original height.

Why does that matter? In the event that this is being used for keeping a player in place after he's caused trouble, I don't see why we care if it looks "sloppy".

In an extreme situation where time is of the essence would you rather type this or /suspend {playername}

I can't think of an extreme situation where this is more useful than /kick.

The first suggestion requires either:

1. A huge number of block IDs are used, and the game has to figure out which ones it can put together in one block ID and reuse using block states.

2. Stairs and slabs become tile entities, which is not a good thing if you plan on using a lot of slabs or stairs for your base, or if you use an old potato computer.

3. The block system gets overhauled so that each block is saved with extra bytes, which signify whether the block is a slab or stair or something else. (Which is a cool idea, but would require a lot of work, and means that the size of a Minecraft world on your harddrive becomes much larger, and Minecraft requires much more RAM to play.)

Having them for literally all blocks wouldn't make much sense; "iron ore stairs" (or any other ore) would be weird, and definitely not "sponge stairs". Or crafting-bench stairs. Or many other otherwise solid blocks.

The main intention here is to make certain non-renewable blocks renewable, but also considerate of game balance in both the 'main quest' and also other parts of the game. Giving the player Blocks of Quartz would not let them have an infinite amount of Quartz for redstone components. Sandstone would be renewable, but not sand for TNT.

I wouldn't mind a villager that sold sand or dirt in bulk, though, considering that those are not easily renewable resources, and you have to collect them by digging them out of the ground, leaving ugly patches of stone or sandstone where someone needed to dig a lot of sand for their giant glass house.

That being said, though, Villager suggestions require a bit more detail then what you've provided. If you look at the Minecraft Wiki page for Trading, you'll see that all villagers have the exact same trades for their type. (Except for enchantments, and the quantity of emeralds involved.)

Mostly Support.

Two things that I'd like to see though:

1. I think the texture for the rod should look just a tad less like the end rod. Probably just a bit thicker.

2. Just to make sure that this doesn't make redstone wire completely redundant (Yes, the crafting recipe is more expensive, but people can still get around that.) I would suggest making the rod only send a signal vertically.

You do realize that most servers have command blocks disabled, right?

/effect [entity or player] minecraft:slowness [a high enough number that Minecraft counts as an infinite amount of time, which is actually possible to do.] 7 true

At first I was expecting a badly done suggestion, that would be either useless or overpowered, but I actually like this suggestion. Now I don't have to get a hundred seeds from clearing out an area for construction. My only problem with suggestions for new tools is that the player will quickly run out of space in the hotbar for blocks and items.

Mostly Support.

Although, could you please make the title not be in all caps, and not put every paragraph in spoilers? It makes it a pain to read.
