Again, my problem is getting them up from the bottom of the ocean to where I have tracks ready. I cant push them, they wont go up, they are deep in the nearby ocean.
I'm considering going down with a ton of dirt, building a little hut around them closing them in it. Then build a tube up out of the water, remove the water inside, then breach the hut wall. Take out all the water in the hut so they are on dry land. then, lay tracks down to the hut and push them up from there. But thats still absurd.
I was just hoping there was an easier method then having to do a bunch of under-ocean construction...
they can spawn in 1 block of water, including flowing water. solution: build an elaborate system of canals on the surface above your tank and funnel them in through a hole in the roof.
The problem is twofold.
1-I am in a mountain, not very high, and not that far from water, canals going UP from the ocean would be a ridiculous engineering task, involving setting up canal pools all the way and locking each behind whenever it went up some, and all the ones I've found stay at the bottom of the water, they dont really seem to swin UP.
2-Even if that was a possability, and I think minecarts would be easier if you could get one in one, there is no way to guide them from out into the depths of an ocean to any sort of canal system. You cant push them, you cant use fishing poles.
All I can think of is keep killing them and hope one spawns in my tank, which is going to be an long agonizing process....
I just went through two fishing poles, you cant reel squid in. Occasionaly they might move a meter or two upwards, but thats it, and usually there is no discernable movement towards you.
I swam down, and hooked a squid. then I swam back to the surface, and reeled in. Occasionally the squid might move a little, but it never pulls to me, or pulls it toward me any distance at all really. Does reeling them in only work while on land?
Do you have to hold the button to reel them in all the way?
Currently, it doesnt seem like you can reel squid in, unloess I am just missing something.
Unlimited mats = not legit = no interets fo rme. Plus I hate MP servers.
ANYWAYS-I hooked a squid with a fishingpole, and you cant drag them. I kept backing up and eventually it just came off on its own, the squid didnt come. line kept reeling out till evidently it couldnt anymore, then the line and hook dissapeared.
Is there some special way to get them to follow when hooked?
But even when spawning a new real world for the first time, you never start at the same coords.
Take that, AND the fact that the Nether is a giant cave basically, easily explains the spawn discrepencies. It probably isnt coded to start your spawn at the exact coords then move it to a safe location.
Though I dont know the exact code, the Nether doesnt EXIST untill you go through the portal the first time. There is no mountain for you to spawn into. It would just start generating the Nether from a safe location.
This would explain why the SECOND portal you build in Nether doesnt work, because THEN it has to generate a portal in the real world, and if you go down you end up in water or land, if you go up your in the air, and that is why fast travel doesnt work.
Its very easy. First you need to find a squid. Make a river from that water source to you're tank. Hook it with you're fishing pole. Don't worry it doesn't do any damage. Drag the squid in the river.Use the hook in the river to guide you're squid into the tank. close up the tank.

Ahh. nice, I didnt know you could drag them. thanks.
And the minecrat idea is possible as well, might be easier, since my home is up inside a mushroom shaped mountain. Making a waterway would be hard to drag it UP flowing water
I had a "natural" portal before. I dont know if it was from dying in the Nether, but I never travel far there, so I dont think so. No idea though. Just found it while walking around
Cant get it working. After loading a new world, it crashes/freezes before visually loading the world (however my exp/health/hunger/ and item hotbar all show up. just everything else is blackscreen.)
Wow Bethesda, seriously? So now no one else can ever use the word scrolls? Bethesda just lost some respect in my eyes, this is low, and really, really retarded.

Fishing pole and squid = Myth.

Especially if you want a DECENT pvp server without the griefing.
But yeah, I give up on MP till the code is optimized and servers control the texture packs.

From my experience, multiplayer is generally crap, unless its a small server with a few friends.
