I need some inspiration for a cool base in survival mode. Something different. Castles are over done, tree houses are too much trouble to attempt. I'v done the mountain base thing about 20 times over. I want something different, throw some ideas around for me.
May i offer, if you do persue the idea of doing a chain of sky islands, may i referance either the Floating island from Final Fantasy 12, or the Floating islands from Avatar, both are great, may take time to get the looks but a good idea, i prefer the Final Fantasy 12 floating islands more though c: if only you had the advantage of what was in the game where touching certain vines/rocks made them float and fill in the path ways.
Outside of mods and pluggins, How the Hell Is lapis renewable? Did a wiki/google search after reading your post. Found nothing. How exactly is Lapis renewable? PLZ post a link if this actually exists.
Well for one, seeing as minecraft is up to most unlimited world space for one user to use im sure theres enough lapis in minecraft to sedate your need for enchanting, i don't like change either but on the positive side it will be something new, even if id say emeralds for enchanted rather than lapis, it makes some sense, not too rare, not too common and in its own ways is kinda magical and would make more sense. Also 404th post, still 404 error rank? i hope so

Well depends, if you stay in the general area and are close enough that hostile mobs can spawn close to the village or should i say used to be village, then most likely they will die off, if you how ever go far enough that the chunk unloads then they will be from what i know, kinda frozen there and safe in terms, not sure if there is a despawning on villagers that have no home
Adding mods is easy enough now, I agree it was a bit confusing at first after the launcher change. It's usually just a case of installing forge (which does it automatically) making a forge profile with the new minecraft version forge created in the versions folder and then putting the .zip file in your mods folder, obviously with some variations to that depending on what mod you're installing.
TFC might still work, I have a friend who has a laptop less powerful than your PC, absolutely refuses to run FTB but will still run TFC at a choppy but playable framerate. It almost defies possibilities because theoretically speaking his available RAM should be in the negative when running TFC, but somehow it keeps chugging along without crashing.
Sadly these things do happen though, my laptop before the 4-5yr old one was 6gb ram and only a 1.55ghz and i could run a 20 person server and play or play with 100+ mods on it through ftb /: so i dont know, i get decent frames with vanilla but i guess just some mods mess with the graphics cards or certain drivers for the laptop to not handle it well which is weird cause i can play rust i just bought just fine. I tried the forge method when it first was put out and i did everything the same as i was told and it never seemed to work for me T:< but i guess its been improved since then and should be easier. but i noticed you are allowed to use the old launcher still and if that would technically change the format around and you wouldnt have different versions and profiles. i don't know im just rambling now ];
Well if you want to be simplistic about it uhh...thats why they added the wither..if thats too easy, build two wither set ups and fight two at once, and so on. Or for a motive go watch the world of warcraft episode of south park and learn from them. (:
I will tell you the same thing i always tell someone who has run out of ideas.
Step 1. Grab all the Cocoa and Wheat you have and make Exactly 9 stacks of cookies.
Step 2. Make a Dispensor
Step 3. Make a shower with Said Dispensor, and insert cookies
Step 4. Set up a repeater circuit to a button in said shower.
Step 5. Push Le Button and Enjoy your cookie shower.

I don't know. Sometimes it feels a little easy, but - usually - then a lonely creeper comes to hug me and I get reimnded to keep my guard up. Sure, the first days are more challenging as you have to manage your food, protect yourself from mobs more etc. But then real uphill comes - make something in the world, that will make it different from all the others and somehow special. That's a true challenge to me.
Thats why when i was playing on a friends survival server i lined up path ways all around my area with redstone lamp paths wired from beneath the ground with a sensor on/off switch, cause before i put it in the first time a creeper blew up part of stair case i said NOPE.
I second the TerraFirmaCraft suggestion. I will never play Vanilla again. When TFC stops being supported, that is when I stop playing Minecraft.
Vanilla survival is not just easy, it's trivial. Anybody with half a wit will master Vanilla survival in a day or two. You will eventually try it on Hardcore. But that doesn't make the game hard, it just makes you nervous while playing the same trivial game.
I actually haven't heard of this mod till now when i went through my post, thats how much out of the mod game i am right now, before that specific update i never went into minecraft with a fresh jar, i even helped work on mods and skinning, but i just don't like the organization you have to do if you do it manually /:
Since i was busy most of my day i didnt really reply to anyone in this forum post, and a lot more then i expected but this is the main provoking question, "Why not just install mods?" Well a few things, 1. Since the new .jar format and set up i haven't bother to learn how to install mods because i have college 2. i usually try to just goto multiplayer to get rid the easy boredom 3. I've played with over 110+ mods before and that doesn't always do the trick.
Vanilla minecraft is going to get easy after a while if you play it long enough. If you want a fresh new survival experience I recommend downloading one of 2 good survival mods:
1) Terrafirmacraft is an overhaul of the game, feels like a completely new survival game. This one is better if you prefer realism and a very difficult survival experience.
2) Magic Farm 2 mod pack (via FTB launcher), a compilation of mods that increase the challenge of survival in a different direction from Terrafirmacraft. This one is better if you prefer some fantasy, technology and tons of content.
I have used FTB a lot mixing my own mod packs, i have two laptops atm the one i do have minecraft on is like 4-5 years old and even with 2.1ghz and 4gb ram it doesnt like to run ftb, but my new one i can't play games on atm.
In my opinion i find all around survival to be...easy, practically routine, or past a point, a matter of how can i make this process more productive so that i have more reasources then i will ever need. Is it i am just suffering from playing the game for as long as i have and i am just used to the task of starting out mining, better resources, an hour later diamonds in hand. But more of late i find myself before ever doing any real mining, settling down right away, building me a decent wooden home i can call home, not just a square shack in the woods, this habit taking longer then any mining i would do and yet it feel more appealing.
