When multiplayer survival is mentioned, it seems a lot of people are afraid of getting looted all the time and want locks or unbreakable chests or ancient panda demons that devour thieves on sight.
Personally, I'm of the opinion that if it's easy for someone to loot you, you deserve to get looted. If your place of residence is a little wooden shack with no door and a chest sitting against a wall in plain view, wtf do you expect. >=[
Hide it somewhere simple, that doesn't stand out, but is within your area.
Awesome super helpful tips:
- If you have to mark it, mark it in a way that people would easily overlook. In my case, the part of the wall containing my chest is actually a slightly darker shade, due to the torch positions. Really easy for me to identify.
- Create a second chest and put it in plain view. Put stuff in it you don't really mind losing. Hopefully this will lead to people thinking they've found your stash and either leave it because it's junk, or run off with it. Either way, there's less chance they'll start tearing your place apart looking for the worthwhile stuff.
- Placing it outside is probably not a great idea, since stalkers like myself will observe your hiding spot from afar.
- Inside part of a sprawling mine is probably a good spot, especially if you frequently patch stuff with cobblestone. This way, the hiding spot shouldn't stand out much and there's a good chance no one is going to enter your mine and start desperately mining out the walls in hopes of finding a chest.
- Put your crafting table on your ceiling. It increases your man points.
- I don't even know if any of this **** will actually be effective since multiplayer is obviously not out yet, I'm just bored. :3!
- Music is the PvP BGM from Dungeon Fighter Online.
Also, my hiding spot and tunnels are pretty terrible. They're only 1 or 2 tiles from the surface and are buried under dirt. If a creeper or TNT goes off, I'm probably ****ed. Don't do that. ( ;° w °)
"Survival" is a film/literature/video game genre about survival and self-sufficiency in the wild.
"Survival of the fittest" is a phrase used to paraphrase natural selection.
Make a chest for TC'ing (Treasure Chesting). Go to a gnarled old tree with two knots facing north. Follow these parallel south until you reach a bed of roses. Cut out an X in the rosebushes, and in the center, dig a shaft. Once the shaft is complete, Head to the west, after 30 paces, place your chest. Smelt some smooth stone to disguise it. Once done, place it around the chest for a stone-vault. Proceed to disguise your hiding spot. Beware the skeletons though, as this place also needs to be devoid of light.
Best way to steal stuff:
Find the enemy's chest. Dig BEHIND the enemy's chest, and make a hole where you can access it, but the other person can't see the hole. Voila, you can steal stuff from the person's chest RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES.

Then have enemy find tunnel and follow tunnel to your house and steal your things
Tips for thieves:
Be wary of walls, ceilings, or floors that could contain TNT.
Stalk the person you are going to rob from afar and steal while they mine.
Stalk the person to find their hidden chests.
Crafting table in the cieling is all well and good, but have you tried a furnace in a natural stone floor? Perfect camo, and you have two or three storage spaces. NO-ONE WILL EVER KNOW.
One thing that sorta whacks my head is the following... you can carry a chest but you can't carry a chest with stuff in that chest.
Anyways, wouldn't hiding the stash create a incentive of... griefing? Imagine someone coming in with tons of TNT and blow your place to the fiery pits of Mordor?

That's why I suggested a second chest as a sort of decoy.
If that doesn't deter them from obliterating your fort, they probably would've done it whether you hid your chest or not.

Well, there is always the chance of looters to know its a decoy. Especially when decoys becomes common place. Then they might go digging a bit.
I would imagine a NPC storage thing would be better for your real valuables. However I wouldn't know how much a pain or not to make that happen would be. That or a 4 digit/characters lock on all chest, created upon creation of the chest.
What we need is a device that once triggered by being linked to a destructible block, causes a fuse to burn, which in turn leads to a TNT block, which is located around your chest.
If they set off the wrong one, FSSSSssss... Wait... SHI-- *BOOM*
They're dead and will think again before robbing you.

Forget hiding my stuff. I'm a brigadier general of the Royal Minecraft Militia clan. I'll just assign a few Lanceys to rotating guard duty. Thief walks up to my chest, opens it up, and gets a diamond sword to the top of his head.

You can still be looted.
and the above, that can be easily countered.
Be wary of walls, ceilings, or floors that could contain TNT.
Stalk the person you are going to rob from afar and steal while they mine.
Stalk the person to find their hidden chests.
That's all I have...

See? I'm not so malicious...
