    posted a message on old launcher
    It was required of mojang to cut support for it due to the heartbleed bug.
    Well mostly the fixing of the bug it did that.

    Guess the old launcher couldn't be adapted to use the updated OpenSSL, required to keep your account safe.

    posted a message on Mysterious Debug Screen Feature from Hell (or the Nether… Whatever)
    The "data" on the right side from Round trip different to the lowest bit value is also present when you look at Ender chests.
    I have an ender chest in my base where it's the second bit line, under the A, that has a 1 in it.

    Maybe you haven't checked properly, but I think this info is also available on an overworld portal.

    (this needs some verification. I need to double check my overworld portal and Nether placed Ender chest.)

    [Edit]
    Turns out both my overworld portal AND Nether portal don't show the bit info.
    Maybe that's because they have the exact shape and size and therefor don't have a "different round trip".(?)
    Maybe some tests with differently sized Nether portals might help.
    (both in nether and overworld)

    My nether placed ender chest however has a 1 under the A column at both the 0x1 and 0x2 bits, where the overworld one only has it at the 0x2 line.

    posted a message on survival world is not to fun at the start
    I'm currently challenging myself into creating an entire village from scratch.

    That means creating plenty of houses to ensure villager breeding AND get in enough villagers to make them start breeding.
    An extra challenge to this. There's NO nearby village. :/ (Else I wouldn't need to make one from scratch, right ;) )
    So villagers needed to be cured zombies.

    We'll end up in 14w99z before getting 1.8

    In all seriousness , its nice too see all this stuff coming.

    Not even remotely possible seeing there are only 52/53 weeks in a year.
    So after 14w53(?) we'd get 15w01a.

    posted a message on Is it cheating if I change the map generation settings to get more diamonds?
    I actually have a preset that has all the major ores available to all height levels and in an increased spawning chance/size.

    As a result I have NO difficulty in finding oreveins of iron/gold/diamond/etc.
    However. My coal generation is still similar to normal.
    So compared to the ores this is a rare substance now.
    Which put me in the position of mining EVERY coalvein I spot OR to bucket out every lavapool I spot.
    Just to be able to smelt all the ores.

    So the difficulty only shifted to other aspects of the game. :)

    posted a message on Odd Contraption
    Looks like someone was trying to make a gate system.
    I've seen that (but working) before on these forums.

    The idea is that 2 of the 5 columns of fences (regular and Netherbrick) are to be pushed down and up to either align the same type fence, (thus blocking the way) or dis-align the fences (as shown in the image of the OP), so you can walk through it.

    posted a message on Showing Snapshot releases in the launcher update notes
    Well seeing the page shown up is an actual Tumbler page.
    It's basically all about updating said webpage with the right info.

    So the Snapshot update visibility is a sort of either for everyone or it shouldn't be there kind.

    I DO support the idea of having the update release info on snapshots there too.
    I should only require some webupdating from Mojang a bit more often.

    posted a message on Very easy - or impossible? - powered rail question
    Putting a torch on top of the fence will likely not power the rail.
    A better option would then be to have a redstone BLOCK underneath the rail that needs power.

    posted a message on Gear Blocks!
    Gears used to be in the code, but got removed later on.
    Which I think is kinda a shame.
    There's probably some use to using gears.

    posted a message on how to do /give item only once
    Run 2 command blocks when the player reaches point x.
    Commandblock 1 gives the player the item.
    Commandblock 2 removes the commandblocks 1 & 2 (done after commandblock 1 had done it's work)

    Although this would require you to manually put the commandblocks back in (with their commands) when you want to replay the game.

    posted a message on 3x2 Infinite Storage and Item Sorting System
    I'm trying to build an infini-storage in a 14w18b Snapshot world. But for some reason, once I placed the first minecart with chest on the powered rail, I can no longer get the rail hitbox and thus no longer add minecarts to it.

    Has the mechanism changed so much in the snapshots it's no longer possible to stack minecarts like this?
    Cause it was a nice way to Have a lot of storage without needing a lot of space. :/

    posted a message on Ready-Cart Dispenser - Make sure there is always a minecart ready to go in your rail station
    A really useful station system. especially when you connect the minecart collection to the sending system.
    Right now I have this in place in a server I'm on. :)

    This has been really helpful.

    posted a message on Monorail! Monorail! Monorail!
    Nice.
    I would rather have chests in them and fill those with the items. (long distance despawning risk?)
    And have those chests emptied by hoppers at the other end.
    (and then processed by whatever system the hoppers are feeding)

    And the design of this would look good on a futuristic map.

    posted a message on How Do I Update Java
    Quote from biglemon29

    its not working

    What isn't? More detail on that is kinda preferable to help out.

    But let's try anyway.
    In the previous posted link check the remove old versions sections to remove the present 32bit versions of your current Java.
    Then reinstall the 64bit version as your only Java.
