    posted a message on Will 1.9 update force everyone to wipe servers?

    What I did in 1.8 was use chunky to delete all explored chunks that were far from anywhere that I have built things. Especially ocean chunks in that update because I wanted the ocean monuments nearby. I don't like having new features appear 30 km from my base at the nearest.

    I'm loving those launchers. I hope they don't get nerfed.

    posted a message on Why are Minecraft Updates so long?

    With all due respect, having the option to change the game's native code ought to make things easier. Having to do hacky workarounds is an impediment to development, not an advantage.


    I think new versions of Minecraft would be more exciting if they just made deals with the mod makers and focused on improving their integration/performance for inclusion in vanilla. The concepts are there and proven, and just need a bit of polish.

    After all this time we don't even have dyable beds. Yeah, it's the slowest updated game ever. Mod makers do their thing 20 times as quickly. Some of them really need to be in vanilla.

    posted a message on Why need fuel for brewing?

    I'm not actually complaining, I'm just wondering why. Minecraft is a fairly complex piece of software, do we make changes to it over nothing? I'm thinking there *must* be a reason, possibly a good reason, and I'm curious as to what it is.

    So nobody knows a stated or imagined gameplay reason for this change?

    posted a message on Lightning changes villagers into Witches
    Quote from saintsolitaire»

    I had 5 villagers turn into witches today, and they were underground, in my cave home, under dirt which was close to the surface (2-3 blocks). It was on a vanilla survival server, snapshot 15w33c. My back was turned but I 99% sure that the lightning got all of them through the ground / dirt. They were all in minecarts surrounded by other villagers. 5 of the 17 turned. Again, this all happened underground so these glass / ceiling protection theories need to be rethought. I don't what else there is to make of this other than; lightning can and will pass through dirt. Feel free to debate it but I can't see what else it possibly could've been.


    Witches also spawn like normal mobs, is there any dark areas of this cave?

    So it's just a fictional thing? Gameplay wise, it seems redundant, just an extra ingredient for potion recipes. Were potions imbalanced, or too easy to obtain in some way?

    posted a message on Mob sorters for 1.9?

    Has anyone been able to sort all five mobs from a mob spawner in 1.9? There was a cool one on youtube for 1.8, but it depended on mob height which has been changed and I'm pretty sure it's broken now. Spiders are easy to filter out, and Zombie, Skeletons and Creepers can be repelled or enticed, but then you still have witches gumming up the works. What to do?

    What is the reasoning behind needing fuel for the brewing stand? Without thinking about it in depth, It seems a needless extra step to me.

    posted a message on New Boats in 1.9 aren't as Fast as Before?

    Faster is great, but another thing I'm worried about is physical injury to my hand on a long sea voyage. I really hope for more ergonomic boat control for when your spending 40 minutes on a boat.

    posted a message on Did 1.8 Ruin Minecraft?
    I don't think there's ever been a game that a person can just play and enjoy continuously. If you've been playing since the beginning, that's a really long stretch. I would say it's time to put Minecraft down for a few years. There are too many other games to play and too many other things to do with your free time. Once you start feeling that drag, its time to go.

    posted a message on 2 missing chunks/corrupted chunks
    Is it ok to use MCEdit with 1.8? MCEdit hasn't been updated in a long time has it?

    I have some corrupted chunks too.

    posted a message on Corrupted chunks in 1.8
    I have some corrupted chunks in 1.8. This world was started in 1.7.x, but these new corrupted chunks are in an area that was genned in 1.8. It's just natural terrain so it could be regenned, but I'd like to fix them. I used to use MCEdit for such things, but it hasn't been updated in a while it seems. Are there any tool that will work for 1.8?
