I have a working iron farm / trading hall with 20 villagers all in their cells, with water and workstation and all is working perfectly.

150 blocks away I have created a massive trading hall with the same cell design with water / workstation etc but no matter what I do, in the big trading hall the villagers ALWAYS unlink from their workstations. I'd tried everything I can think of. Any suggestions?

Okay, I know this might have been suggested before, but I couldn't find a post about it.
Also, I know a lot of people probably won't want this, because pipes are already in so many mods.
But anyways, on with the idea:

Pipes for hoppers. You know how you sometimes want to transport items over long distances?
Well, this will fix the problem! Sure, multiple hoppers connected together work just fine, but
who has the iron for that? And what about storage carts? Yes, I know those work, but those are
a pain to set up, and also to keep running. Water? water is pretty slow at transporting items, and
also water has to go down 1 block every 8 blocks in order to keep the items flowing.

Here is a solution to long-distance item transportation: pipes that connect to hoppers!
This is a cheap, easy way to transport your items over long distances.
Pipes would work exactly the same as a line of hoppers, but would just transport items instead of
taking them in. Pipes would be able to transport items a long 32 blocks before requiring a hopper to keep them going.
Pipes require 6 iron ingots to make 16 pipe. 3 ingots across the top, 3 across the bottom.

Pipes can transport one item at a time, and can transport 4 items a second. If there is a block that is not a hopper
at the end of the pipes, the pipes would jam and items would not flow anymore, each pipe getting one item stuck
in it, all the way back to the hopper the items came from. If there is no hopper at the end of the pipes, they would drop
the items out, just like a dropper would. Unlike hoppers, pipes do not have an inventory screen, meaning you can not
right click them to see what items go through them.

Pipes would work something like this:

═ = pipe
█o█ = chest

Hey guys,

I have recently been having a problem with my Minecraft game's water. It seems to be invisible. I can hear the water, and I know its there because it pushes me as normal, but I can't see it, its just clear, invisible. What I did find out is that this problem only occurs when I am on "fancy" settings for Minecraft. Fast shows it just fine. I am not using any texture packs right now, but when I did test it with a texture I received the same problem (water would only appear with "fast" selected).

Here are some pictures:

This one is Minecraft on "fancy" with no texture pack:


This one is Minecraft on "fast" with no texture pack:


This one is Minecraft on "fancy" with a texture pack (faithful texture pack):


And finally Minecraft on "fast" with a texture pack (same as above):




If you know anything about this problem, please let me know,

Thanks,

Chamers

P.S I know a lot about Minecraft and computers, but this problem really stumped me, and I can't seem to fix it myself. This is also my new MC forums account, as I forgot the details to my old one.
