Not exactly sure if this counts in the modding section, but I got bored recently and started messing around with the level.dat. Anyone know how to increase the damage of an item (without major recoding)? I've been able to add Knockback II, but haven't been able to change damage.

A tutorial for MC 1.1! Awesome.

I want my working Nether and End portals.

Mostly same as yours, but don't put a pressure plated door. Find a nice beach cliff or near top of world mountain and dig in to make a shelter that eventually becomes my awesome house. Scout out for a villiage that I can steal useful stuff from like stone slabs and fences. And wheat.

A. Enchntment room.
B. Normal farm.
C. Redstone wiring room for a lock or something :biggrin.gif:

When is it safe to make a new world and an update doesn't come a week later...

Mountains. I love building mountain mansions. So basically stone and some mixed in cobble. With tons of glass. Some wood.

Or sandy beach cliffs. Those are good too. Add in some cobble and good to go.

I have a general question.

If I install a mod that adds ores and naturally occurring blocks when a world is generated, what happens if I take out that mod? Obviously the blocks wouldn't exist, but would, say, an ore block added by the mod replaced with normal stone or would there be a hole there? Because waiting for mods to be updated is hard.

Finding diamonds depends on:

Where you're mining
How you're mining (just looking in caves or digging through walls...etc.)
How lucky your seed is

I had a seed where I mined straight down and ran into gold, redstone and diamond, just by mining a 1x2 hole down. Tunneled through the side of the hole around layer 20, ran into a cave system. Explored cave system and came out with 14 diamond and 20 gold without digging through anymore walls.

So use that 4 stacks of iron and make tons of pickaxes and start digging through walls. :biggrin.gif:
