He's making a bank out of Bedrock and placing protected chests inside that only the owners can loot i believe. :P

LowC, that wasn't a dead end. :/

Just generated a new world, there's a spawner sunk into the beach I spawned on, literally like 30 blocks away.

Any idea on how I can get loads of Cobblestone in Survival? I want to make a manor out of it, but the mining of all that cobblestone seems like it's gonna take awhile.

 

Also, how does one access Creative mode?

Just find where you're going to construct your manor, find a suitable hillside nearby, then dig into it. Go down/back a bit, hollow it out into a room, place chest, forge, workbench, make a 5x5 hole in the middle of the room, fence it off, make sure you have adequate ladders/torches, and then just dig until you hit Bedrock. If you want you can then pick out depths to create a floor and branch out looking for caves/dungeons, all the while acquiring more Cobblestone. :3

 

Just dig and dig and eventually you'll realise you have more Cobblestone than you have use for.

If mining isn't your thing you could probably create a cobblestone generator using water and lava, but that takes more effort, plus I honestly have no idea how you'd arrange the water and lava source blocks so your mined cobblestone doesn't get incinerated.

 

Personally, I'd just dig down to bedrock, and dig out a big room - like 20x20 and 3 blocks high or something. Keep stripping out the area, you'll get your cobble and more materials to replenish your tools eventually.

 

As for Creative mode, I have no clue - there's no option for it in the downloaded version, so I assume it's only available on the website somewhere. I've never played it, though.

If you want absurd amounts of cobblestone, strip-mining at/near bedrock is the way to go. That way, you can pretty quickly strike diamond, make a diamond pick, and therefore get cobblestone faster. Keep 3 blocks between each strip if you make more than one.

Ah, thanks a lot. I'll try some strip mining then.

 

I'll post some pictures when I'm done :3

I'm getting pissed off that I only get like 5fps these days. I just built a massive tree farm but once I start cutting trees my fps tanks immediately. Time to do the one tree and bone meal method. Glad I wasted like 5 hours making a farm with several hundred trees. Luckily I only made 2 floors instead of the 10 I planned on doing.

It's because in the code the leaves are constantly checking to see weather or not they are supported by a trunk. There's actually a mod to disable leaf decay, if you don't mind clearing leaves as opposed to [cabbage]ty FPS.

Been working on a massive underground mine system. We plan on making towns and stuff as well as resources such as tree farms and underground farms ect. So far we have a massive lobby with two double boosters going two directions. We plan on making towns along the tunnels that our mine-carts follow. We also have 2 storage rooms 2 workshops, 2 furnaces rooms, and 5 bedrooms for our workers. I'll post some pictures after bit.

Wait, since when are we planning on doing all that? :mellow:

It sounds awesome.

Is it possible to start this game without paying a monthly fee? Because the sandbox gameplay seems really fun :D

You can play Classic (sandbox) for free, or get the whole game for a one-time payment of 15 while it's still in Beta, which is really worth it.

I never really liked this game, however the maker did a good job on it. For the time he spent, it seems extremely successful.

There's no monthly fee, it's a one-time thing. If you're too cheap for that, you could try to find someone who doesn't use his account any more.

Oh it's a one-time thing. Already paying for World of Warcraft so didn't want another monthly fee on top of that.

Anyone not using his/her account? :P

 

EDIT: Can you remap the keys in beta?

Yes you can remap the keys, but not all of them.

 

 

The only keys which aren't there are the F keys which do...

 

F1: Removes HUD and your arm from view

F2: Takes a screenshot

F3: Displays FPS, memory usage, and stats

F5: Switches you to third person view

F10: No idea, it makes you turn more slowly

F11: Full screen

So its basically 99% of the important keys can be toggled. :wink:

 

I think I may stop by the server today...I meant to go on yesterday but went off to do things with friends.

Holy Christ, who built the lighthouse? Is it legit? If so :thumbup:

Everything is legit (other than the bank which is protected by bedrock). I haven't seen the lighthouse but I remember someone talking about it. Where is it located?

It's in the water on an island near the - actually, I don't know what direction. Just walk around the edges of the new town and you'll see it. Can't miss it.

 

Anyways, just had kind of a creepy experience on the server.

 

I was mining at adminium when I decided to call it quits. I was lost, but I tunneled into another long, one block wide tunnel. I followed it forever, and it was weird because in some areas the walls and floor were made of obsidian. It went on forever to a dead end, at which point I stair-tunneled to the surface. I was in the middle of nowhere, so I walked in the direction I BELIEVED the town was in. Eventually I came to an area that had torches, there was some cobblestone and floating planks with a sign that said "Why are you following me? Stop." I could see through some chunk errors that there was a burning forest in the distance. When I came to it I lost connection.

 

Weird.

Was the server experiences major lag problems about an hour ago? I logged on but it was pretty bad.

I haven't had any problems today. I seen you log on as well so I'm not sure. :unsure:

I've always enjoyed stories like this and Herobrine and similar stuff. They're like urban legends for nerds, haha.
