    posted a message on How to get longer fuel in a furnace using lava
    Unlimited fuel is easy. Cut down a ton of trees, use saplings to plant new ones, use planks from the wood to turn your excess wood into charcoal. Smelts the same 8 as coal, is renewable, and can be used to make torches. The end.

    posted a message on Can someone please show me how to farm mobs in dungeons automaticly?
    Whenever I find a spawner, the first thing I do is put 1 torch on each of the blocks on the floor of it's 4 sides. This prevents spawning, and allows you to come back to it at any time.

    Try making a new world. If the problem continues, delete your bin folder and force Minecraft to update. If the problem persists, post it in the Support forum.

    posted a message on Overground or Underground? Where do you prefer building?
    Underground, definitely. Easier to barricade, easier to expand- you GAIN resources instead of spending them when you expand, and it's more convenient. Of course, I will admit that it can be a challenge to find your underground base from the aboveground when it's earlier-game, but later game you can build large monuments and entrances aboveground to signal where to head.

    posted a message on What blocks look nice together?
    I tend to make my homes in underground caves, so usually it's just whatever blocks are around me and some improvised blocks (Planks, cobblestone, etc.) to fashion a barricade so mobs don't get me.

    I don't tend to get far enough to the aesthetic stage before I end up dying and deleting my world.

    You don't have to- but I always do. It can be a refreshing feeling, to experience the new content and have to live through it

    posted a message on Ideas for a Completely Underground Base?
    When you are making an underground base, you'll want several things first-

    1. AT LEAST two buckets. This is for safety and efficiency reasons. You do not need more than two, but you do not want one.
    2. A nearby above-ground water source. When I say nearby, I mean you can make it there and back in a day. That is also mainly for safety reasons, as it gives you an easy escape. Might want a small docks at that coastline.
    3. A farm. If you choose to live underground, bread is probably going to be your main food, so you'll want to build one fast. Fill both buckets of water, make a 2x2 square and fill the diagonal corners for an infinite water source. From there, make your wheat farm and build up several stacks of bread. With a good farm going, you can live underground almost forever.
    4. A tree farm! This is not really vital, but if you set up a nice underground farm, you can make an infinite supply of charcoal, which means an infinite supply of torches and fuel.

    Those four steps are the four steps you absolutely must perform to follow- though #4 isn't necessary until later. You can build your base however you want afterwards, but you will starve or be killed without food, buckets, and an escape route.

    posted a message on What Biome do you prefer to spawn in?
    Forest, no exception. Especially a smaller, denser forest, not the Taiga forests with the trees that are overly tall and spread out. In a dense forest I can get about a stack and a half of wood before I need to set up my base, and that's just the first day.

    The only possible other biome I'd like to start in would be the Mountains, but only with a forest nearby. This is because ores tend to be very easy to spot on the exposed rock walls and you get nice overhangs and waterfalls that make for excellent fort/base set-ups.

    Quote from cowells

    I'm in middle school and almost everyone hates minecraft. If you play minecraft your a nerd. The only video game people even play is mw3.


    That's because MW3 is one of those short-term gratification games where you get that extreme high off the "cool" content for the first month or so, but once you prestige twice it becomes incredibly stupid and boring. Minecraft is long-term gratification, but it can take a while to get to the top and get those feelings.

    posted a message on New Nether... Survive This
    I was apprehensive at first, but it seems like a good idea. I only have a few nitpicks- make heavy bones easier to obtain, maybe make Overworld tools take 1.5x instead of 2x extra damage, and allow the placing of Overworld blocks without the worry of corruption, for aesthetic reasons.

    Minecraft isn't based on realism. I can't punch a tree and make a pickaxe out of the wood that falls out in convenient blocks. We don't need any more useless blocks in Minecraft.

    1: how do you crash a server with lava? He can lava-greif with it, but not crash it.


    You'd be surprised at what a determined troll can accomplish.
