Most recently, I just build on peaceful. I really enjoy spelunking on Normal, staking out what caves are "mine" and fighting onward through new areas, but I frequently play without sound in an environment that demands my attention, and I got sick of the twin problems of coming back to the computer to find I'm dead, or building away happily (and deaf) while a creeper ssssses behind me.
I am having the opposite problem. I've generated about a half dozen worlds so far and no matter how much I search I only find these little caves, at most 100 meters long. They just end at two points, maybe zig and zag once between, and that's it.
A bit disheartening because I was looking forward to some serious spelunking and I just can't seem to find any.
Actually this is pretty simple if you set it up right. I thought I had this great idea for a tree farm in my cave. I set up the area like so:
[]
[]
= Sapling, obviously.
So one tree grows. I start to chop it down. As soon as I get rid of the trunk another tree is like OMG I CAN GROW NOW and it appears, smothering me in its branches.
Moral: Space out your tree farm. 1 torch = 1 tree. No doubling up :smile.gif:
Lately, I've been having fun with:
Punch trees for wood, punch leaves for saplings.
Make workbench, 1 wooden pickaxe and 1 wooden hoe.
Hoe grass until hoe dies, taking all seeds.
Break workbench down to take with me.
Dig straight down (making new tools and hopefully torches as needed/able) until either:
A) Hit bedrock. Dig sideways until:
1) Die from lava. Delete world and restart.
2) Find cave. Block off side caves and make a home base. Explore world from there.
:cool.gif: Die from fall/lava. Delete world and restart.
C) Fall into cave. Block off side caves and make a home base. Explore world from there.
Ideally, I never die and subsist underground with my trees and wheat. Explore the cave system and otherwise have a great time. Eventually, get bored/lost/dead/whatever. Delete and restart.
I'd like to see YOU give up every single friend you have and pretty much stop talking to anyone for a silly game.
Don't you mean "For millions of dollars and the chance to start your own company doing what you love."
Granted, I personally wouldn't disassociate myself from everybody I know for that, but I'd be willing to put them on the back burner for a while. And I expect they'd all understand.
Get yourself 10-14 obsidian and a fire starter. Put it on peaceful mode (Or prepare to work fast and/or get frustrated from fireballs).
Count the meters between your two portals. Let's say they're 150 meters (blocks) apart. You don't have to be exact but you should be within 10 or so.
Go through the first of your two portals. The first one you laid down. Make sure you're facing the direction of the other portal.
Don't turn, and walk 1/8th the number of meters you determined above. In this example, you'd walk 150/8 = 19(about) meters.
Build a portal here. Light it, and go thorough.
If you did it right, you will come out in your 2nd portal, and everything will be linked correctly.
Anyone ever notice these threads almost never contain screenshots?
Because I didn't think this needed "proof." It's not like I was bragging about seeing 45 diamonds exposed on the surface or something.

Was there space between the block with the redstone on top and the block above it? Because A block cannot exist overlapping another one (another one being the redstone dust block). That would be awfully strange if it did.
I wish I'd paid attention. I *think* it was covered with a block of normal stone but I don't know that for a fact.
I created an account to ask this question, though I've been on the forums for about a month now. I've not seen this topic yet and a quick search didn't turn anything up.
I was mining, the two meters directly above the highest adminimum level, and I came across a stone block with a redstone wire already on it, in a + pattern on the top. I cleared out all 26 adjacent blocks and they were all either stone or adminium (It was on level 5 I think, the level just above the top adminium level). When I broke it, I got a redstone from it.
Anybody ever see something like this? This was on a fresh, undoctored level created with 1.2.2 in survival single player.

So what kind of mine do you use in step 0 to get steel?

I have no idea if it's possible, but Recognizers seems an obvious choice.
Too bad you can't drive a tank :biggrin.gif:
