    posted a message on Carpenter's Blocks
    I'm using Feed The Beast latest build and the latest version of the Direwolf20 pack. When I try to apply glowstone dust to a carpenter's block it doesn't do anything. Do I need to update the mod in the pack? It is version 3.2.8 in the pack.

    posted a message on Adobe Premiere HD Settings
    I'm hoping that someone with Adobe Premiere experience can help me. I've tried several different setting combinations for encoding and exporting to YouTube, but I haven't found the sweet spot yet. Does anyone have any tips for the settings that work best?

    I'm using Fraps to capture, and the Adobe CS4 Suite to do the editing and exporting.

    My rig isn't top of the line, but it is higher end so it can handle pretty much any rendering job I throw at it. I've been reading through the posts, but I haven't found any really technical tips that would help me out.

    I have two primary issues I want to address. 1) I seem to have a lot of motion blur in my videos. I suspect this is due to different frame rates, but I've double checked and the rates seem to be consistent throughout the process. 2) The quality isn't nearly what it should be. I'm recording in HD, but after the export process I see a bit more blur than I would like.

    I would post a link to my videos so that you can see what I mean, but I don't want to cross-post. If you search for "RP's First Ever Let's Play" on YouTube you should find it easily. I also started a thread in the "Let's Play" forum here.

    Anyway, I'm hoping that someone will be able to at least get me pointed in the right direction with my settings. I appreciate you taking the time to read this, and thank you for any help you can provide.

    posted a message on RPMiller's First Ever Let's Play
    Hello to you! This is my very first Let's Play, but not my first time playing. My son encouraged me to start a Let's Play, so that I could share my creations in the context of survival mode. I also plan to bring him in on occasion to help with bigger projects.

    I thrive on viewer feedback, whether it is suggestions of what to do, encouraging comments, or questions. I read every comment and answer as I'm able.

    This world has had some really incredible surprises for me from the very beginning. I'm only five episodes in, and have just made it the nether, but check out the incredible discoveries I've had along the way!

    Play list can be found here: http://www.youtube.c...Ir7R_zqGQj19Evq

    posted a message on Compact "Drop Cart" station without track switching.
    Hi, one of my subscribers recently asked me for a rail design that would drop carts straight down into a dispenser system without having to change the track's path. I have no idea if anyone else has come up with this design, but I'm hoping that it might prove useful to someone.

    posted a message on Compact, semi-automated, variable level enchanting room
    I've created this enchanting room to use in a tower that my son and I are building. I needed something that was as compact as possible, but also provided a lot of variability with the levels. I don't think I could make this design any smaller, but I would be interested if anyone knows of a way that I could. I also wanted a design that didn't depend on slime balls, even though I have plenty, it was important to have a design that was buildable without having to hunt for them.

    Mooshrooms! Argh! I STILL haven't been able to find a Mushroom biome on SSP or SMP. I really want to try milking the mooshrooms for mushroom soup. I am also curious to see mooshroom breeding.... I have so many empty bowls to fill...


    Start up a world with the seed "lost" and you'll get your wish. Someone above posted that, and I've confirmed.

    Has anyone suggested using the rope as a wick for TNT? I haven't tried the mod, so I don't know if it burns, but I didn't see it mentioned in the feature list.

    I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but it appears that you know longer have to have tilled soil for the melons and pumpkins to grow on. I think this came up in the update from two weeks ago. Here's a quick video of what I discovered.

    For the record:
    Eating grass does regrow the same color wool they had prior to shaving. I dyed a herd of sheep every possible color, shaved them all, and then waited. They all grew back the same colors.

    Lambs also appear to grow faster when eating grass. I didn't witness the exact amount of time, but it was significantly faster than previous observations.

    Hope that helps.

    If you want, I could make a video of the process in action. Your call.

    posted a message on Bookcase placement for enchanting
    Just tested it. My findings are that the gold pickaxe will not be able to mine iron, gold, and diamond. They all took quite some time to breakthrough, and in the end, I lost the blocks/diamonds.

    Your right, it is only gold tools that can get level 50 enchants. Kinda a shame, but I read somewhere that they are faster than the other tools despite their low derability and such.

    But that brings up another question. If a give my gold pickaxe a level V efficiency enchant, would it be able to mine Iron, gold and diamond?


    That is an excellent question. I wonder if anyone has tested it to see. I may have to test that in my creative world.

    Could it be the material you are using? I thought I saw somewhere that different materials for each item offer different ranges of levels. If memory serves, I believe you need gold items to get the level 50 enchantments.

    I can confirm the same thing was happening to me. I had fully grown wheat (on already hydrated farmland, all touching a water source) in a save that was raining when I quit, and as soon as I loaded they started uprooting. My guess is possibly a new feature where snowfall is supposed to destroy farmland ("frost") but (as it was an older world and) the re-introduction of taiga biomes it changed for the seed, fossibly making the game thinking it is snowing not raining?

    Also: A pumpin stem uprooted, however the seeds did not appear until moments later


    That is a very good point! If it was an old version world, it very well could be caused by a climate change / calculation issue.
