    And yet the bug when if the game lags, you place two blocks at once (and it lag spikes and kinda freezes at that point) isn't fixed. Especially annoying with obsidian or glass. No, I know I should stop playing Minecraft on a toaster. It does that sometimes only, though.

    I meant they should be a suggestion( Leonardo da Vinci tried to make em I think ). Also, aren't they like powered like birds? Flapping wings. They are still fixed-wing I believe... But helicopters are rotor-wing.

    Wikipedia:
    Fixed-wing aircraft are distinct from ornithopters in which lift is generated by flapping wings and rotary-wing aircraft in which wings rotate about a fixed mast.

    Also, I don't remember anyone suggesting helicopters, either. That would be funny actually, imagine a huge military 'copter (of the "flying banana" variety) dropping creepers on you (and skeletons shooting from inside)! The helicopter would also have machine guns, lazers and a special scanner nuke which you get if you beat it (it kills all mobs in all loaded chunks, bringing their drops to you, as well as mines and smelts all the ores).

    Yes, I know about the military and their gliders they attached to planes that carried troops down into the hotzones. I think they also could put a few jeeps in them. The idea of a putting wings on a tank and letting it fall makes me giggle :3. Its hard to define words as they have different meanings for everyone. I just feel anything that is a Fixed-Wing Aircraft and has an engine is a plane while w/o an engine is a glider. But what about these Ornithopters :ohmy.gif:

    Just like helicopters, they don't belong to Fixed Wing Aircraft.

    Thats not a plane. But both are Fixed-Wing Aircrafts :smile.gif:

    True. There were some military projects about making a plane with no engine, attach it to a larger plane, fly it high up, then let it glide down. Another project involved a tank with wings. I am not sure if these are classified as planes, though, but unless the definition of the word plane stands for a FWA with an engine, we may find something that has no engine but is still a plane.

    ...Then again, they say, "Attach an engine and a propeller, and even your backyard gate would fly".

    lawl. You win.

    Ok, I read the entire post. I will tell you right now that this is not possible. Right now the game cannot detect multiple blocks as groups. So the game cannot detect an object that has separate blocks inside it (like the furnace you mentioned) and the wings attached to the side. The only way the game could do this is if you crafted a boat, a propeller, a furnace, and 2 wings, and then assembled it in a crafting table like so:

    :: :feather: ::
    :_: :wood: :_:
    :: :Furnace: ::

    :feather: = Crafted Propeller
    :wood: = Crafted Boat
    :_: = Crafted Wing
    :Furnace: = Crafted Furnace

    And this would give you a place-able plane entity item. So you need to overhaul the recipe to make craftable in a 3x3 grid (even if it has multiple crafted components like my example) so it is actually possible with the vanilla game.

    That being said, this idea is exactly like EVERY other plane suggestion and gets no support from me.


    Lol. Thanks.

    About the block groups, though, *cough*runecraft*cough*. Also portals (in vanilla). Build a plane like he said, right click and the blocks get replaced with a plane entity. Fully doable, but it is like all the other plane suggestions. Somebody should really make a thread about NOT suggesting planes, guns and cars, and then sticky it. (Pin?)

    What kind of plane doesn't have an engine?

    A glider.

    if only they made a creeper dungeon......

    That would be awesome. No, really. You know why there's no creeper dungeon? Think "explosions" and "blocks".

    As long as the engine is running, it will move.

    Idk, what do you think?


    Didn't you say - you don't mean planes with engines?

    Quote from SpecialEducation

    One flint and one feather only gets you 4 arrows. I don't know if you play a mod or an earlier version or something?

    You can get four arrows with a dungeon trap way faster than the time it takes to get a feather and a flint. It's also no work, you just stand in a collector.

    Right, it's four. It's rails you get sixteen of. Forgot that, haven't crafted arrows in a while, as I either idled in a mob grinder or walked around in the morning to get arrows. While getting a lot of arrows from a dungeon killtrap won't take too much work, finding one would be more work worth. I don't need the bow that much; I have a diamond sword and have good enough strafing skills (and a pit here and there). I don't wear armour, so any damage can be repaired in seconds with some bread or pork.
    I'm not saying skeleton dungeons are useless (all dungeons are good), nor am I saying it's the least useful (that honour goes to zombies). However, in my personal opinion, spider dungeons are more useful, especially given that spiders are somewhat rarer (I might've just been unlucky).

    Hey, I've got a stupid idea. Craft 8 arrows into one that's twice as large. Craft 8 of these into an even larger one. Repeat until you have one that is so huge you can go around and stab stuff with it (or launch it with a ballista). Derpmachinegunderplazorderpflyingcarderp.

    One word: dispensers.

    They require bows to be crafted, and are the only reason to get more and more string. Often, it takes me less time to get one flint and one feather to get 16 arrows than to kill on average 8 skeletons. Bone's important enough, but as skellies tend to die a lot in the morning, and wolves don't show up every day, I'll have enough bones to tame a pack when it arrives. Although wolves have an annoying habit of showing up on the first or second day...

    posted a message on Golden Minecarts
    Gold is 2.5 times heavier than iron. This means that something made of gold requires 2,5 times as much force to receive the same acceleration (be it negative or positive) as an object of the same dimensions, but made of iron. So, the most appropriate properties for a golden minecart would be:

    * Taking longer to slow down (think momentum).
    * Requiring more gradual slope if pushed by a Powered Minecart.
    * * If Golden Powered Minecarts are implemented, this applies to them as well
    * Gaining speed faster if travelling downhill (though not much faster, as it's a matter of air resistance and friction)
    * Taking longer to speed up (may not apply with Powered Rails, they're "magic")

    Extra properties, either not essential or not important:

    * Being easier to break (doesn't really affect anything gameplay-wise)
    * Breaking or derailing on a hairpin turn with sufficient speed (or/and a turn right after a downward slope)
    * Requiring rails laid on durable blocks like stone (not sand or dirt; think "sinking in due to weight")
    * Breaking on derail
    * Breaking on a drop (as well as damaging the player even on a two-high drop)

    Overall, I actually like this idea.

    posted a message on [Tool]Spritecraft: Turn images into Minecraft blocks! 1.1.4 Up
    Quote from Crassus

    EDIT: Duh, the program looks at the dimensions of the image rather than the dimensions of what's inside the image. I found a smaller version and got better results.

    I'm running into a bit of trouble when trying to convert small, simple, pixel images.

    I am trying to blueprint out a Kefka sprite:


    I counted the number of pixels of width and height and came out to 16 x 24, respectively. Yet when I use those dimensions in Spritecraft, I receive this:



    Also, when I increase the dimensions to perhaps better accommodate the program, it adds shades in that are unnecessary.

    I get the idea of the program: it is more designed to turn real images to blocks rather than pixelated images, but I'm trying to use it for the latter, and I'm running into difficulties.

    Kefka!! What are you doing here?!

    Reminds me of that one time when I was on a bus, and then I noticed how smoothly everything moved. Then I saw all the fog in near distance (it was a foggy day), and my first thought was: "Oh, right. Tiny render distance.". Facepalm followed immediately.

    Quote from Benefactor

    Your "idea" is an idea just as "let's print our logo on the company napkins" or "we have wooden doors, now let's make them out of iron".

    There are stone tools, because you can cut stone and sharpen it. Can you imagine how stone armor would work in real life? Do you realize why it was never made?
