    Would it be possible to use cartographer to count all the minerals within some huge volume?

    It does count it and output to a text file in the "working directory", but I don't think you can limit that to a particular place.

    or they play the game and come to the forums for help and they get blown off for asking questions main reason i never use forums much


    This.

    I've said this before, and I'm gonna risk sounding redundant here by saying it again, simply because it can't really be said enough.

    There are too many assholes here. Yes. Assholes.

    Hardly a thread goes by without pretty large amounts of completely useless answers. And a lot of those are usually the "ZOMG UNNECESARRYY!!111" or "ZOMG SERCH LOLOMFGNUB""!!!1231231564&%#" kind of posts. Don't get me wrong, it is possible to get good feedback, and good answers here, but sometimes it just drowns in the epic river of ******** that is the majority of posts here.

    I understand (and have witnessed personally) that there are ridiculous amounts of reposts, and the same questions and answers are repeated, but you can't deny this extremely hostile attitude can very easily "scare off" people. Especially newcomers.

    I try to make it a habit to report flaming and completely useless posts, personally, and I'd like to encourage you all to stop the ******** (I suppose the responsible people know well who they are) and do the same. I've been thinking the moderation here isn't the best (no offense) but that could simply be because the mods are human and can't possibly sift through the massive amount of posts and topics here. Let's help them out by reporting blatant spam, hm?

    posted a message on Too quiet? Look here.
    It's pretty cool how you can make a music recommendation thread and not mention even vaguely what the genre is.. :tongue.gif:

    Edit: hm, I've listened to a couple of the songs. It seems they select a few seconds and then loop it into a 5 minute song. Gets kinda boring imho.

    Thanks for sharing, though.

    instead of jumping it would make more sense if spiders could climb walls/ceilings

    This would make caves even more heart attack inducing and spider dungeons, quite literally, a monstrous threat, good job.


    Spiders that drop from ceilings... this brings to mind Gohma from Ocarina of Time :biggrin.gif:

    That's a possibility, but since the railroad is about 2600 blocks long now, (and probably isn't done yet) it'd be nice with something that could run unattended.

    posted a message on Mine carts and "dynamic path selection"
    That doesn't really help at all, though, as the point is to let me choose where to go just a little while before getting there.

    posted a message on Mine carts and "dynamic path selection"
    It occurred to me that it would be cool to have a way of using one rail line to go multiple places. I'm just not completely sure of the best way to "redirect" when already on the track, in full speed. (boosted)

    At the moment, I'm simply using levers, but they're too hard to hit at that speed. Anybody got any better solutions?

    That's ancient. And it would suck. If my castle suddenly warped like that I would punt my monitor.


    Agreed. I got dizzy. Optional or not at all.

    posted a message on When will the next secret friday update be?
    Quote from valcris2021 »
    On a friday at some point. (Someone had to say it...)

    Damn you, I wanted to say that.. :sad.gif:

    Anyway, Notch is away at the moment, isn't he.. so apparently the chances are very slim until he returns from his "travels." That should be within the next couple of days.

    However, if the secret Friday update isn't a giant misnomer, I wouldn't be expecting it for at least a week from now. :smile.gif:

    posted a message on "Moving Lights" are impossible, but...
    Quote from thecraww »
    He rewrote the lighting engine ages ago. Moving lights are possible. Carryable light sources are possible. So are colored ones. He also talked about lanterns for permanent light, and torches burning out. I have said this at least three times before.

    It's not impossible. It's a matter of when he'll implement it.


    [citation needed]?

    Thanks for the positive feedback! I guess I can only hope that someone (that is.. Notch) takes notice of at least some of these. :smile.gif:

    ...who decides to carry a bucket made of heat conducting metal filled with GODDAMN LAVA in their hands anyway?


    Your saying this, in a game where you can punch a tree down with your fists?


    I would have still thought that common sense would exist SOMEWHERE in this game.


    Well, basically... no.

    posted a message on I heard a strange musical sound what was it? [VIDEO]
    It means there's a dark cave somewhere nearby.

    Most likely. That video thing was too retarded to load for me, so... I guessed. :tongue.gif:
    Apart from BGM, those sounds are the only remotely "musical" ones, though, so...

    posted a message on Minecraft is mean
    Isn't it time to mention that the difficulty settings are actually a bit broken? Paradoxically, Normal (possibly even Hard) are easier than Easy. I think I read somewhere that Easy uses "easy mobs" but somehow spawns (f/tr)uckloads of them. Set it to Peaceful for no mobs at all, or to Normal for a more balanced experience.

    It's a nice story, though.
