Totems of Undying are items, if you have one in your hand when you would be killed you don't die, the totem disappears instead.

The picture isn't much help, we'd need to see how the redstone is connected and how you've set up the hoppers and their contents.

You can post pictures here, when you're writing or editing a post there's a green button with [Upload an image], if you click on it it should open your file system (at least in Windows) so you can chose the files to post.

Or if you drag them over the button it opens up a box where you can drop the files.

Maybe it's just the angle the screenshot was taken from but it doesn't look like you have any comparators connected to the top hoppers?

The way a sorter usually works is you prefill the sorting hoppers, which I would presume would be the top ones, with items so they can only suck in a single type of item.

Then you have comparators that block the hoppers underneath until the upper hoppers suck in another item when they unlock the lower hopper so it sucks in an item and deposit it in the chest which brings the number of items in the upper hopper down so the lower hopper is locked again.

Too late! ;-(

But here's my solution anyway, it's about half the height of yours.

There was a lot of trial and error involved, I don't fully understand how it works and why my earlier attempts didn't work.

I'm thinking there might be some quasi connectivity involved?

I had to reverse the position of the redstone dust on the droppers for some reason.

Oh, I missed a repeater in your design, it was hidden behind a block, so I thought you had a 7 block run to decrease the signal rather than just 3.

Thanks, I'll have to read this when I'm less tired

Is this basically the same reason why droppers can pass a weak redstone signal? I was wondering that too, for example in the picture attached the comparator will send a signal into the dropper, that will connect the redstone dot and the iron block next to the comparator, looping the signal around with minimal delay. Allows to generate a signal for each item passing the hopper almost without slowing them down (I think I lost less than 10% throughput when I measured this), when each hopper contains only one item.

I wouldn't think so, the Wiki is very clear on it being the block above the redstone mechanism that passes the power.

(Even if that is a block, like air, that shouldn't pass power.)

I don't see anything here that would power the blocks above either the dropper or the hoppers.

--

I don't think there's anything odd about a dropper passing a redstone signal, it is a full block after all.

As far as I can see the circuit works exactly the same with an iron block instead of the dropper.

(Apart from the dropper spitting out any blocks it contains of course.)

It probably has to do with quasi-connectivity, as the Wiki explains it "Quasi-connectivity is a property of dispensers, droppers, and pistons that allows them to be activated by anything that would activate the space above them, no matter what is actually in that space."

However, the component only does anything if it is updated, otherwise it just sits there with the potential to activate if any changes occur next to it.

I found 2 relatively close: 200-400 blocks away from a portal placed at spawn, both almost entirely buried.

You did mean in Java didn't you?

--

I found one in Bedrock as well.

You've got a point, you can make wool out of string (spider silk), I suppose it would make more sense to make spider webs (unless it takes a spiders touch to get it right).

If you use F3 it will show you if you're facing North/South/East/West or you can look at the sun, moon, clouds and/or stars, they move towards the West.

In survival, nope. In creative you can middle click it and create a copy

Not in Java, pick blocking spawners only works in Bedrock.

(According to the Wiki spawners are the only blocks (with an item form) that can't be pick blocked.)

I presume you have placed the fish with buckets? Otherwise they can despawn.

I don't have much personal experience with keeping fish but based on what I know about how to stop animals from suffocating in walls I would suggest surrounding them with waterlogged fences to keep them within the volume of water.

(Including on the bottom.)

Though fences don't look very nice, blue glass panes might be slightly less noticeable.

Food can be easy to come by in bedrock edition, but usually when you have farms set up because the spawn rates of passive mobs aren't very good on bedrock edition. This design is entirely intentional because you are expected to shepherd livestock into the pens yourself and breed them, or travel a long distance to find more.

Having only 2 or 3 sheep spawn in your local area per cycle in a plains biome and on grass blocks makes sense otherwise, if the spawn rates were 100+ per day it would be ridiculously easy to get wool, mutton, leather and all sorts off the farm animals.

On normal difficulty all that happens to you is your health goes down to half a heart, it leaves you in a vulnerable state yes, but the hunger doesn't outright kill you. You are killed by a secondary damage type, the hunger itself doesn't kill, so theoretically you can get away with not eating if you are in a secure area with no monsters spawning in due to lighting, glass and half slabs arranged appropriately.

When you leave your sanctuary all you have to do is kill a few animals per day, or eat 2 or 3 rotten flesh per night you scrounged off the zombies you killed and you're sorted.

In hard difficulty you don't get away with not eating, not unless you're standing still and doing nothing while your hunger bar was already full, and this affects more than just your regeneration and your total amount of health, hunger can take your health all the way down to zero if you're not careful. This encourages players to set up crop fields, the necessities to keep on going.

Show me some examples of people playing on Normal or Easy and not bothering to eat just because they can't starve to death; I've never seen this myself except when I watched somebody play on a custom map like Sky Block; food is one of my first priorities when starting out in a new world and I can't imagine ever just not eating. Also, mob spawning is vastly different on Java and Bedrock - on Java passive mobs basically never respawn once you've killed all of the mobs that spawned during world generation (much like how trees only generate during world generation unless you plant more, though passive mobs can respawn naturally but with a mob cap of only 10, which includes all loaded chunks, while on Bedrock they spawn much like hostile mobs do, which also used to be the case on Java until Beta 1.8, which is when breeding was added).

In any case, hunger must be different on Bedrock if you need to constantly eat unless standing still since on Java you do not lose hunger from just walking, only when jumping or sprinting (albeit most players do both all the time), and even in 1.6.4 you can walk 10,000 blocks from the hunger you have when first spawning (20 hunger + 5 saturation, with each point lasting for 400 blocks). Likewise, you can mine 4,000 blocks, 20,000 in newer versions - twice the number I mined in this branch-mine which yielded 91 diamond ore (in other words, you can easily get full diamond gear without ever eating from first spawn and not starve - just make sure you don't jump up and down too much, e.g. use stairs or ladders to get up/down from the mine). The most strenuous activities are dealing and taking damage, regenerating health, sprinting, and jumping while sprinting (you lose one hunger point for every 20 jumps, 80 if not sprinting, which by itself costs 1 hunger every 40 blocks in both 1.6.4 and newer versions, so even in 1.6.4 sprinting is 10 times more costly than walking, all for a 30% speed increase).

I would highly advise NOT to just replace level.dat because of all the important data it stores about the world (e.g. as Hexalobular mentioned); it is much safer to use NBTExplorer to change the setting (if you don't like the idea of downloading a 3rd party exe file I can say with certainly that it is safe and quick and easy to use, no installation required and it is compatible with any version).

This is a fairly common(?) issue affecting newer versions, with the greatest number of reports since 1.15, while some go as far back as 1.8, possibly earlier (I've never seen this happen in 1.6.4, modded or otherwise, even with 100+ crash reports in my MCP folder; the worst that has ever happened is level.dat becoming corrupted/deleted. part of this may be due to my own optimizations.fixes to the chunk loading process, as I haven't played strictly "vanilla" for years, my chunk loading code also throws away wrong-located chunks instead of attempting to fix them (which just causes them to overwrite other chunks) but I've never seen it report any errors after a crash, only partially decorated chunks when it happened during world generation):

MC-161823 Chunks can occasionally be misplaced upon loading a world (there are many older reports which were marked as fixed, only for more reports to be opened indicating that this wasn't the case)

Note that many reports do not involve improperly shutting down/quitting a world just normal gameplay, including going to another dimension and returning to a corrupted Overworld/Nether/End within the same session, though the cause of at least some cases could still be related; singleplayer runs an internal server on a separate thread and the way the client shuts it down can cause it to be terminated in mid-save, although I imagine if you are using Forge it still has the "shutting down internal server" feature that I added in my own mods from back when I used Forge in 1.6.2, which is a simple loop that forces the client to wait for the internal server to fully shut down, making it impossible to reproduce various other world corruption issues, such as worlds failing to delete properly (caused by the client trying to delete files that are still in use, and/or the internal server saving chunks after the client deleted the original files, causing new ones to be created):

https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/discussion/2579965-how-to-get-an-error-level-save-conflict-in?comment=3

I suspect that a more significant factor is the multithreading of world generation and chunk loading in newer versions, which requires cooperation between threads to ensure that they are fully aware of what other threads are doing and any changes to data are synchronized between them (by contrast, 1.6.4 has a single main server thread that does everything, plus a separate file I/O thread; despite this, performance is far superior to newer versions, and actually, excessive multithreading can slow things down if there are too many threads trying to run at once).

In general, newer versions are also far more fragile when it comes to bad chunk data; you can create a world in 1.6.4 and load it in 1.5.2 and nothing really bad will happen, other than missing blocks.items/entities, while if you do the same in 1.16-1.15 the entire world (or loaded chunks) will be totally reset as the game simply can't handle chunks with unknown data. This may also apply to using mods and changing or removing them, although I wouldn't expect this to cause dislocated chunks, only reset chunks, unless changes to world generation occurred, in which case a similar effect would occur if the biome/terrain changed (your screenshots appear to show a forest in the first one but not in the second, otherwise, the shoreline seems to be the same so the chunks in the water are likely dislocated, not reset. It is also possible that you are actually experiencing MC-315, which is caused by the shutdown issue mentioned above; the best way to avoid this is to delete a world after reloading the game, or manually delete it outside of the game).

It should be enough to remove ",decorations" from the preset.

Does setting "Generate Structures." to OFF on the create world screen do anything?

But I can't figure out how to add decorations in 1.16.1, adding ",decorations" does nothing.

What version are you playing?

You want "decoration", not "decorations":

https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Superflat#Preset_code_format

Also, while lakes and dungeons are decorations they are set separately and they and decorations are not affected by the "generated structures" option, only "building" structures are (villages, temples, mineshafts, strongholds, etc). For example, this is the "Overworld" preset:

minecraft:bedrock,59*minecraft:stone,3*minecraft:dirt,minecraft:grass_block;minecraft:plains;pillager_outpost,village,biome_1,decoration,stronghold,mineshaft,lake,lava_lake,dungeon

LOL !!!

It makes you wonder, what effect would Efficiency have on a book, if it had any effect (which it wouldn't, of course).

I'm imagining that, if one somehow had a book that had both stored enchantments and was enchanted with Eff III that maybe it would take fewer XP levels to put the stored enchantments on a tool, perhaps letting you use the anvil on the tool an extra time even though it should have been too expensive?

Slightly more realistically it would almost certainly only make the process faster (which wouldn't be much of a gain) and also it would make more sense to have the anvil enchanted rather than the book.

Back to reality, pixelated as it is, I'm glad to have the explanation, that's most likely what happened to me as well, several years ago.

Probably nothing, since the anvil logic is coded to only recognize stored enchantments on enchanted books so the actual enchantments (enchanted as a normal item would be) would have no effect; you also can't get around the anvil cost limits or prior work penalty increase.

Also, an easy way to tell if you've enchanted a book correctly is to try using it on a block or mob - the enchantments should have no effect, otherwise they will be applied; e.g Silk Touch will harvest grass blocks and Fire Aspect will set mobs on fire (Efficiency will only work on the proper tool so it will have no effect). The name of the item will also be a different color (it should be yellow while normal enchanted items are blue).

Saturation is a hidden variable that determines how fast the hunger bar drops.

Saturation is better thought of as a hidden addition to your visible hunger bar, which has the same capacity and can never exceed it, so if you have 10 visible hunger saturation can never exceed 10 for a total combined hunger+saturation of 20, which is also treated the same for all purposes; 1 saturation point will last as long as 1 hunger point (i.e. you lose hunger at the same rate from either, regardless of how high saturation is, which simply delays the visible decrease in hunger. I mention this because your statement can be confusing, suggesting that foods with high saturation cause hunger to drop slower, as in more jumps, etc per hunger point, but that isn't the case - full hunger+saturation will last exactly twice as long before starving as full hunger and zero saturation, ignoring the fact that you do regenerate health faster from saturation, but hunger won't visibly decrease until saturation is gone).

This is why I said you need at least 5 hunger to avoid losing any saturation from a steak, which will bring your hunger up to 13 while saturation will increase to 12.8 (assuming you had no saturation to begin with, i.e. the hunger bar jitters). Likewise, golden carrots require at least 9 hunger since they only restore 6 hunger but 14.4 saturation; 9 + 6 = 15.

1.6.4 does not recognize NBT in /give or anything else; you can only specify the player, ID, count, and data value ("damage"); the ability to use NBT (or data tags) was added in 1.7:

https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Commands/give#History

Otherwise, you'll need to use an NBT editor or mod to obtain enchantments with a higher level than the game allows (/enchant only accepts up to the maximum legitimate level).

Hey guys, I have been working on my first animation for the past couple of weeks, and I am very excited to show it to you.
