Oh, and I backed it up that morning. I have no idea how the hell this happened. When I loaded the world, everything just dissapeared from that time period.
The file is the same size, I had all the items I had before I put up the new mod, and I spawned in the same spot, its just the world was reverted to the stuff it had.
So I messed up downloading a mod, and i blackscreened. Made a new minecraft.jar folder, loaded up all the mods that I had before and the sewer system I had been working on for 1 week now is gone.
Is this supposed to even be possible? I mean what the ****?
Could the better light and grass patch have done this? I am really ****ing pissed right now.
The generator tends to generate one vein of diamond per chunk.
@ adversitys newest post.
I'm not even going to try anymore. All of that (And much more iron, coal, and redstone) would have been found if you were using a branch mine, along with many building resources.
That is my final post in this thread because you can't seem to grasp the fact that this is all chance.
Once again, branch mining is superior. You say that looking in caves will give you a better chance of finding diamond, which is generally true in the fact that more faces are exposed, but you still neglect to realize that the same goes for branch mining. you will miss a huge amount of rocks if you just look in caves, and by branch mining all of the time, you can find these caves AND expose the rock around you at a great efficiency.
Also,
you WILL have to do some random branch mining eventually), you simply follow the lava and it will LEAD you to diamonds in one way or another.
Theres where you say that diamond is always near lava.
On the contrary. Branch mining makes it so that you miss none.
Are you seriously going to tell me that diamond is always by lava, and that if you find a lava pool, you will never miss a diamond vein in that chunk?
You don't seem to grasp the fact that branch mining eliminates the chance that you will miss something on your layer. You seem to think that people dig straight down, and break random blocks and hope for diamond, but that isn't the case. I don't know how many times I will have to say this, but branch mining is a science, and an almost perfected one at that. There is no correlation between lava pools and diamond veins save for the fact that they spawn on the same levels.
this is where i learned my branch mining technique. youll also notice that he specifically says YOU HAVE TO GET LUCKY using that technique, at one point saying "maybe ill have better luck in the bottom shaft". sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
this technique will guarantee a high amount of diamonds in a very short period of time with a minimal resource investment.
This technique guarantees nothing except that you will not use as much stone or wood for pickaxes (heavens no!), and that you will probably lose your life to the lava.
I could look aroudn all of my lava caves, and find nothing at all. It is all chance the way you are doing it, and there is no technique save for find lava, then dig around it.
i just say its "random" because it is. sometimes you get lucky and find 15 diamonds in an hour, sometimes youll go 3 hours and not find anything. if youre branch mining with diamond 1 block away from you the entire time, youll have to start an entire new branch to find it. whether or not you find diamond is completely based on chance.
by using this method you are GUARANTEED to find diamond within 30mins. no matter what. i have yet to come out of my mine empty handed, when i would frequently come out with no diamonds while branch mining. instead of randomly branch mining the entire time(you WILL have to do some random branch mining eventually), you simply follow the lava and it will LEAD you to diamonds in one way or another.
im glad to hear people are having so much success with this method tho! i thought it was "too good to be true", but it seems to be the new and improved way to mine diamonds!

How does that tree farm work? Does the glass keep leaves from spawning outside of them?

Also, I learned from your locking mechanisms (dissasembled the wall, sorry!) to make the locked door that leads to my sewer project. Thanks!

Do you have light in there?
