I promised I'd play on a server with my son. When we logged on he cried for the better part of an hour. I can't revert to an older version because it's a server, mods like optifine are too big of a pain to install, and changing textures doesn't work for those of us who like building. If it did we wouldn't have this problem. I can't play tomorrow because I have to work. There goes every argument that makes this no big deal. I'm not happy.

ibelate posted a message on New default textures?!Posted in: Recent Updates and SnapshotsOk, funny is doing something that momentarily throws a person off norm, surprises them and then allows them to get back to normal. This stunt was a total violation of their users time, trust and ethics. I was debating on trying a new game, this is the trigger since I cant do anything meaningful in Minecraft today!!
Trying new game on Steam! Grow up and done mess with paid users. At least publish an option to reset to normal for the day.
Bad move, I hope someone is reprimanded for this stunt!!

Wulfespirit posted a message on New default textures?!Posted in: Recent Updates and SnapshotsThis is well beyond a dumb prank - its a debacle. They've undoubtedly caused grief to masses of their playerbase who looked forward to some game time on a holiday Sunday. And on top of it, there download servers are crumbling under the update - literally hours to download a few megs at this point.
If there was any competent management at mojang, there would be people fired over this.

by that logic. Would Mojang change or remove TNT because we don't want children to play with it.
In Minecraft, TNT is bad. Children also don't have access to TNT. On the other hand, chocolate is good in Minecraft. Children have access to chocolate, and some have access to a parrot. -

rodabon posted a message on Nether Gate LocationPosted in: Survival Mode
its rare for that to happen now. the algorithm looks for solid unobstructed ground to place a portal on when you go into the nether. this could happen if there is an island of nether rack in the middle of a lava lake near the coordinates. in that case just build with cobble to the nearest land and your good. make sure to make it out of cobble or stone because ghasts cant brake it, also out at least 1-high walls on the edge so you cant be blasted off.
I wasn't aware that too much had changed for quite some time now with the portal location algorithm.
Definitely make sure to build your portal above Y=40 to avoid the chance that it might transport you to a cave at the bottom of the nether under lava lakes. -

BigAlanM posted a message on 1.10 Double Dungeon and Village at SpawnPosted in: SeedsA dungeon is one rectangular room with a mob spawner in the center with 1 or 2 treasure chests near the walls.
What your son was seeing was either the interior of an Abandoned Mine (will have rail road tracks), or a Stronghold which is a large multilevel underground complex of corridors, rooms, stairways, etc.
Dungeons are created as separate structures from the other two structures but may be connected.
Sometimes two or even three dungeons will be created such that they overlap or are very near each other with possibly a cave tunnel between them.
EDIT: Since I first wrote this I found out that dungeons are always created connected to an underground air space of some sort. (cave, ravine, etc.)

flanigomik posted a message on Creepers keep destroying my landscape!Posted in: Survival ModeQuote from MotherLydia»
I've got it down where I mostly don't die from creeper attacks. But they are making numerous holes in the landscape that are unsightly and have to be jumped over/run around in the future (Somehow I don't have enough blocks left after they explode to begin to fill the holes they leave). And multiple times I come out of my house in the morning to find creepers in 3 different directions. So I've got to find ways for them to leave 3 holes without messing anything up I care about -- and this happens often. My holes have holes in them!
Suggestions?
if you have plenty of iron and torches available you can lay rails around the edges of your base to make a sort of fence then you can fill the inside with torches. creepers will not cross rails, not even to chase a player, so this method works very well. if you are looking for a 'cheaty' way to do it you can use the command /gamerule mobGriefing false. the creepers will still explode and do damage but will no longer be able to destroy blocks -

It's not fun.
My experience is that most pranks on April's Fool are only fun to the person executing them. NOT the person being pranked.

I found my very first Nether Fortress -ever- ... and I'm actually doing okay in clearing it even though I'm in Normal mode.
I died a few times -- but was able to find my stuff each time and recover.
I've got 9 blaze rod and 4 magma cream. But I've explored the whole thing and I can't find any nether wort! Now what?
I'd feel much better with fire resistance potion!

I *love* The recipe book. No more looking at the Wiki to figure out how to make things I'm interested in (or deciding not to make it Right Now and look for it later!) I'm crafting so many more things in Minecraft regularly now that I can look it up in my recipe book (even if I haven't yet figured out how to make stuff yet)
I'm not real fond of the white beds. I find myself having to make dye to dye it before setting it down. The environments my beds move in are -so- dirty. That white just would not stay clean!

Any suggestions for ways to attract spiders in Minecraft? Are there specific biomes they appear in more frequently? (Or another way to get string?)
I have not run into a single mine shaft yet. But my fishing poles are breaking faster than I can get new string to make more. AND I need string to make bows so I can handle skeletons and creepers better than I do. (though I have fished up two or three enchanted bows, they are all low on durability already)
I see lots of Zombies (including the villager variant and the babies that can stay alive in the sun!), skeletons, and creepers. I've seen endermen (and put on my pumpkin hat to avoid angering them) I've seen some silverfish while mining. I've seen a couple of witches. But I've only seen three spiders and one of them didn't drop any string!
I will also need string to get leads for the horses I see. But I haven't seen ANY slime at all so the slimeball is also an issue there.

I know they definitely have mods. Just had not realized the Dungeon part was mod. The series is PopularMMOS or something like that. I enjoy watching them with him. Its a boy and a girl who play cooperatively together (Except for their challenge series, but even then they are working together.) No arguing over who goes first, who gets what loot, etc. So much nicer than even my time on Everquest back when I was younger.

What do you mean village farms have too much water? The "Technically you only need to put water in every other spot" thing?
I made my first farm based on what I saw at villages.
