Why is it set up to be more expensive than inventory-combining, or even just making new items?
Anvils have a start-up cost greater than a full suit of iron, yet can only be used something like 25 times? You show me an anvil that breaks after 25 helmets, and I'll show you one that was made in the dark ages and doesn't have a scratch yet. Why not make the high initial investment worthwhile for early-mid game players? (You know, the way you'd -expect- an anvil to be useful to early iron-age folks) And what's with the previous-repair cost? Why does renaming something reduce this xp penalty? I should think, if anything; using an anvil for arcane repairs should -reward- xp.
As for enchanted items, why let the costs run so high that a max-level survivor can't repair it? It already takes 352 zombies to get to max level. It should at least be able to repair one of 6+ pieces of endgame gear. Nonetheless, enchanted item costs are outside the scope of this rant, and need not be related to unenchanted costs due to the difference in player-progress between those with enchanted stuff and those without. (Although, while I'm at it, I might as well say that sacrificing a near-broken item shouldn't be cheaper than sacrificing a mint-condition item; especially if the extra durability is going to waste past the max)
Anyhoo, that's my two cents (Sorry, two nickels. Forget that Canada's phasing out the penny). Any questions? Comments? Rebuttals? Support?
Is it not possible to have one version with all of the features that you can enable/disable?
In some ways, this would be like trying to have a car that can switch between front and rear-wheel drive. The only reasonable way about it is to have two cars.
How can spawning in a high tree -possibly- be a problem? You start locked at full food for long enough to regen it back in ten seconds, and there are not even any mobs to take advantage of it.
Pvp probably doesn't matter to the vast majority of minecraft players. S yes, it will always be underdeveloped. The only reason you can hit other players, is because it would have taken extra programming to remove it.
So, basically, wait for a mod to fix it
Ore per block isn't the only consideration. What's usually almost important, is the average distance from the exit to your mines. Spend a day branch or straight line mining, and you'll get very similar amounts of ore. Except the trip back home will be considerably shorter with branch mining. (Especially if you use a zig-zag pattern with three spacing, instead of walking all the way back to start the next segment)
Personally, I hate hitting giant caverns when I mine, so branch mining is nice in that you can just wall it off and start the next branch.
Well, in my hc map, I've been having really bad luck in the mines. I shouldn't have bothered using three of my six diamonds for a pick, since you can still cast a portal using buckets and redstone. Ah well, at least I have a nice stone brick castle near a big town going. Once I get some good mining and a bit of nether exploration done, I'm going to start some large build projects. If I ever find two sheep (Beds made of spider silk ftw), I'll be able to do another pixelart gallery too :3
To me, the only challenge is my own luck, since the game sees fit to deprive me of resources :/ I shouldn't have a stack of bones, yet not see a single non-chicken friendly mob
Leather armour set, nonstandard mine carts, iron shovel for some reason, jukebox, golden apple, reconstructed melon, iron bars, nether fence, a bunch of the new alchemy stuff, and a lot of the dyes/wools. There, that's all of them.
They really need to make leather easier to get
Check here or here for inspiration. Looking at the castles of other people can be useful too, which is how I stole the idea of using steps for the roof and stairs around the edges, for nice thin crenelations.
Also, plan the dimensions first, around whatever criteria you want. Will your lighting style keep mobs out?
I still have my first ever map, but the biome update broke it by freezing all the water, and covering all my pixelart in annoying snow. :C One day I'll edit it to clean it up :s
Well, aside from my friend's server being down while he moves... Any bit of lag in smp makes creepers even worse at aiming. They just blow up for the hell of it, no matter how far I move away after they start hissing. I'm going to have to invent obsidian grass at this rate
Ducks. They are noisy and annoying, and for some reason don't get eaten by zombies at night. They were tolerable when eggs were a reliable source of chicken duck, but now they just poop everywhere.
The only kind of creeper I don't love is the kind that blows up much too far away to deal any damage. No gunpowder, and another hole in my lawn. Great.
If you're encountering mobs on your first night, you're doing something horribly wrong. There is no reason you can't have at least a temporary dirt shelter in the first day, with enough wood to spend the night poking about to get some charcoal torches going.
Underground is where we're supposed to go when we want to get -away- from the zombies! It's a pain not being able to dig in a straight line for more than two seconds without hitting yet another vast cave system, which exists for the sole purpose of filling my branch mine system with creepers. Were the earth this cave-infested, it would collapse

Creepers won't explode through the ceiling, and hunger doesn't move if you don't. Only endermen can get you in this type of 'home'...

Oh, and use the golden ratio for everything.
