I made this topic partly because I didn't see one like it, thought there should be one like it, and found a few confusingly awesome things that needed categorisation.
Man Made -Mob Traps
A mob trap is basically some sort of mechanism to transfer mobs to a killing zone. It does not include a spawning area. -Most space efficient trap: Post one (one is under consideration, as it is the only one so far) -Mob Grinders
A mob grinder, in this context, is a dark area, set aside for spawning aggressive mobs, with a mechanism of some sort to bring the mobs to a killing zone and channel their drops to a collection point -Highest Production: badRAT's 128,000 item/hour grinder. badRAT also generously uploaded his save to his thread :wink.gif: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/470899-piston-killa-its-insane-updated-new-record-128k-hour -Most space efficient grinder: Malacodor's grinder. 0.985 items per hour per block (that's actually very good!) http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/425879-mob-trap-with-40000-items-per-hour/ -Most resource efficient grinder (items/hour/blocks broken for production): Post yours -Cactus Farms -Highest production cactus farm: TheJohnnyBrain's 60,000 cacti per hour farm.
-Highest altitude reached with a TNT launcher: bruceatsr44's launcher propelled him to 6,200 metres -Greatest number of arrows fired at once: 2176 arrows by DaveRune -Most Missile TNT fired at once: 1200 by humanvegetable's Decimator Misc -Stupidity
Stupidity is a section I put in just to put some more derp into record-keeping. It isn't really for debate but if it makes me laugh, I'll put it in. -Stupidest thing done with bedrock: minecrafter of AWESOME trapped himself in a box of it -Stupidest thing done with minecarts: celestialphoenix. It's kinda hard to explain http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/ab14/therealcelestialphoenix/2011-08-11_120010.png -Community -Highest Resolution Texture Pack to Date: dllu's vector (W.I.P.) at 512x (It was the first 512x to my knowledge) http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/376970-16x32x64x128x256x512x17-vector-wip-currently-incomplete/ -Best speed increase from a mod: sp614x's Optimisation mods (OptiMine(formerly Scaevolus's), OptiFog and LagSpikeofDeath). 300% (framerate) with far render distance and fast graphics. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/249637-173-optifog-and-optimine-hd-c-fps-boost/ -Most players on single server: 2622 by the Yogscast on their server two.yogiverse.com:9001 on the 31st July 2011. two.yogiverse.com:9001, yogiverse.com

1 biggest mointen
2 biggest sea
3 biggest forest
4 biggest area of tall grass
5 biggest desert
hope this has helped
It's a bit hard to categorise some of these. Biggest mountain is debatable because it could be measured by height or volume or area. I like biggest desert but that's also a bit hard to measure. When you post your records I think it would be good to include a screenie and some figures too. I'll add the stupidest thing ever done because that made me laugh :laugh.gif:

I'd love to see a screenshot (or a video) of the tree/of you cutting down the tree. And by wood I mean logs, That would have to be planks unless you cut down a non-natural tree
I added figures for Malacodor's grinder and added a community section for the most ridiculously high-definition texture pack and speed increasing mods. Stuff like that

Biggest Cacti Farm

not saying that the mushroom person was lying but for other things

It's not debatable when that's the only record. If you have a picture that would be good
I added figures for Malacodor's grinder and added a community section for the most ridiculously high-definition texture pack and speed increasing mods. Stuff like that
Added to the list
Most efficient mine: 16.1 ores per 100 stone mined
