    posted a message on Is it possible to kill the Ender Dragon without going to the Nether in vanilla survival?
    Quote from liam_8788»

    But you’re still going to the nether, which is what we’re trying to avoid here.


    Umm, WHY?

    Nether is a highly integral and beneficial part of Minecraft.

    It is not just about the Ender Dragon.

    No blaze powder or Netherwart = no potion brewing.

    No quartz = no observers or comparators.

    No beacons.

    No soul sand for super fast bubble elevators.

    No 8x accelerated transportation.

    posted a message on Automatic chicken farm - lava not killing chickens

    In my chicken cooker, I use a timer to fire two very tightly spaced pulses each minute, so that lava is present for only a short period of time.

    I think you might have confused Minecraft with Skyrim or something like that.

    posted a message on How to switch a single player world to a multiplayer world on a Mac?

    Minecraft on Mac is exactly same as on PC. One can go into game menu and choose 'Open to LAN'. Not that it will help you.

    You might want to buy server hosting from a service like Apex or Scalacube, uoload your world there and run it as a server.

    posted a message on Destroying Lava Fountain
    Quote from charity322»

    Thank you! The lava fountain has now evaporated. The cauldron was still sitting there under the original lava block. Chucked some cobblestone on top of it (after a harrowing build out to it, where I fell once) and bye bye entire lava fountain, which is really weird. XD


    You do know that holding Shift while bridging will prevent you from falling?


    Also, do not play with lava in a tree house. Even if you placed lava safely so it would not flow anywhere, any flammable material in about 5x5 area above lava can catch fire - and it would spread from there. I once saw a woodland mansion catch fire from a nearby lava flow, was quite spectacular.


    To make a waste disposal in a treehouse, better use a cactus.

    posted a message on Enchantment levels aren't level 30?

    Even without lapis, bottom row should show lvl 30. Laps just enables it to actually do the enchant.

    But on those screenshots, left and right ladders are interfering with shelves.

    posted a message on Fix the "allow cheats" option.

    Opening to LAN makes your world a multiplayer server, which is a whole another bowl of fish. You cannot pause when you want, skip the night when you want, there is no guarantee someone won't TNT your base or flood it with lava or whatever. Depending on the circumstances, when world is being opened to LAN, there should be a possibility to enable cheats. It is a needed tool. This is a game, not some psychological cruch for those who can't come to terms between their self-control and their consciousness.


    The whole 'Cheats Off' thing is laughable anyway. One can make backups of their hardcore world and restore if necessary. One can lookup rare biomes and structures on chunkbase via seed, One can use Forge mods like XRay, not to mention using something like NBT Edit. Maybe not 3 clicks away, but no rocket science either. So if you are so lacking self-control not to cheat, clicking that button on world creation means squat, regardless of whether the option is there or not for LAN.

    posted a message on How do I get villagers uptop and can I transport villagers using water?

    It is the standard water elevator construction pre-1.13, alternating water and signs - can be used to transport up mobs , villagers, yourself . It is farly slow but it works.

    1.13+, soul sand bubble columns are easier to create and are insanely fast.


    Yet another option to getting villagers up is precise nether portal linking.

    Portal 1 is built in the village at Y=64, just make sure to put some fence gates around so villagers don't wander into nether.

    Say, it is at X=400, Z=200. Nether side portal 1 is built at X=50, Y=96, Z=25.


    Say your iron farm is around X=40, Y=128, Z=80. Make a portal there, and build a portal in nether at X=5, Y=96, Z=10.

    Be sure to build an enclosed space around those portals in the nether and cover floor with glass or better, regular ice.


    Now, you can pop villager in a boat, get him into nether, a real short and fast trip there if you used ice, and you will emerge at your farm.

    Not sure how that is doable - but do you know that hitting F3+G displays chunk borders?

    posted a message on How do I get villagers uptop and can I transport villagers using water?

    Before you spend a bunch of time and effort building that, (hope you haven't yet) note that this is version 1,12 farm. It will not work if you are running version 14.4 or later.


    Getting villagers up:

    A winding ramp mostly from powered rails, delivering villagers in minecarts Final block of the ramp needs to be exactly 2 blocks over the spot where you want to drop the villager. Do not place rail on that block. Surround that block on 7 sides (3 sides and all diagonals) with 2-high wall. When villager in minecart arrives, momentum will carry him onto that final block. Put in a slab above the last rail, turn on hitboxes (F3 + B), and hit the minecart hitbox to break it. You should be able to pick up the minecart. Now break the block under the villager.


    If you can't afford that much powered rail...


    Pre-1.13: Alternating water source/sign tower. A bit slow but it works. At bottom, water is held by more signs.

    1.13 and after - build a soul sand bubble column.

    posted a message on Economics of Emeralds.

    Yes, they are - but not in the way it used to be. I find librarian houses quite rare, and they have very few bookcases, if any.

    But with Librarians often selling a bookcase for 8-9 emeralds as their first tier trade (can be easily reduced if needed) I can have unlimited bookcases on demand from a single village.

    What for? Ever since the advent of electricity, it has been the go-to method for explosive detonation. Redstone, being MC's equivalent of electricity, is the most logical TNT trigger.

    BS


    You never have enough diamonds in survival.



    Now THAT is definitely BS.

    Maybe YOU never have enough diamonds in survival.



    Considering I already got an enchant setup by the XP grinder, why would I need to ever dig up another diamond?

    posted a message on Magic Combat - Why So Little?

    Game as it is now, player is already way overpowered. Existing means of combat/world manipulation trivialize cintent even for players with less than best equip. Magic combat with spells and such, would be boring without opponents that actually merit using those.


    There are some very interesting mods featuring magic, rituals, mana, etc - along with extra dimensions and mobs that need all that stuff to defeat.
