    I do like the way the sky darkens when you create a Wither boss....even though I wish they were naturally occuring mobs...Either in a nether fortress , or in those large round dirt rooms we have been finding forever in the overworld . Better yet , add a little alter in those round dirt rooms where you have to place 3 wither skulls to summon it in there .

    Painting placement is still wonky for me...some walls it will only spawn 1x1 and 1x2 no matter how much space , other walls it will cycle thru them all , but still haven't seen the new wither painting...
    I also wish you could move the new heads with pistons...would be good to scare other people with , and use in my dark rides .

    I am not claiming that Mojang simply copied Jammy's software and threw it into the game without acknowledgement, but it is a form of plagiarism to not acknowledge a source of an idea.. particularly if it is pointed out. Perhaps the Mojang development team did come up with idea independently of Jammy. If that is the case, your point here is valid, but even so a sort of acknowledgement that a popular mod implemented something like this earlier would still be a sign of class and pretending like those mods never existed previous to something like this being put into the game is not really a good idea. Even if legally Mojang can simply throw this in without acknowledgement, it doesn't hurt to recognize the efforts of others and give them a pat on the back.

    I'm certainly not saying that Mojang needs to royalties to Jammy, but acknowledgement to Jammy's earlier work would be nice. It also isn't too difficult to do either.


    Ok , what is your peoples fascination with Jammy's mod? Why would you even mention it for mob heads? You do know that there were a number of mods that added mob heads , and implemented it MUCH better then he has in his mod...According to your logic , why would Mojang acknowledge his work , when Jammy doesn't acknowledge others much better work with this particular section of his mod? I haven't seen Jammy say anything either way about this , why are you speaking for him?

    Either way , its a moot point...you all need to log into Minecraft , build a bridge , and get over it...

    Did they fix the annoying bugs with placing pictures in this snapshot? Havent got to check since I am at work .

    Also for all the people talking about "stealing" ideas from mods...the mod you kept mentioning , is not the first one ever to have added mob heads in...there were atleast 2 others before that , and 1 for sure that did a much better job at implementing them and giving them a use .

    Also , I know a few modders that would absolutely love if their ideas were added in game , even if not as good as theirs...it would save them alot of time and let them move onto other projects .

    We could use...



    Rust monsters...but would work on all armor not just metal! It would rapidly replace creepers for the most hated mob in game . Make it almost silent , and have it randomly choose one of your armor pieces to eat...
    "hey thats a nice enchanted diamond chest piece you have there..."

    posted a message on Base building help
    For awhile now , I build my base at a village...I will take and fix up the existing roads and buildings . Fence in and gate their wheat farms . Once the basics are taken care of , I will wall in the entire village with plenty of extra room for additional houses , farms for all the other farmable items . I will normally build myself a large house somewhere inside and use the whole town as my base . Once I get more then enough supplies , I will end up building myself a very large mansion somewhere on a hill near the town as my base .

    Here is a screenshot of my current town , my big house and swimming pool in the corner there . This town has a church bell chime every hour of minecraft time . It has automatic streetlamps that come on at night and turn off in the daytime as well :)


    Here is another view that shows my current project off in the distance near the town , my new mansion in progress . Another version of Disneylands Haunted Mansion(I have made a few and even the ride itself)


    I hope this gives you a few ideas on where and how to build a base , and underground bases can be just as cool .

    posted a message on Halloween release date for 1.4. "Pretty Scary" update.
    If nothing , the overworld ores and diamond should be added to the nether , no coal because...it would burn or something...little nether dungeons with a spawner for nether mobs . Wouldn't be difficult and would add something to the monotony of tunneling thru endless netherrack...Burnt trees(charcoal) near lava lakes in soulsand . Just those very minor additions would make such a big difference...
    But I surely wouldn't complain if they did more then that .
    dont call me shirley!!! :Notch:

    Hollow stone and or brick blocks , that are placeable like the logs are now , horizontally and veritcally . They would allow water and lava to pass thru them . Would be the begining of "pipes" for more control of liquid in the game without getting to crazy...Maybe even be able to shoot arrows and flame charges thru them as well .

    I actually set up an exps/mob farm in a zombie dungeon I uncovered...I had 9 full stacks of zombie flesh , another partial stack and had 3 carrots by the time I finally got a potato . So yeah they are pretty rare till you get one...
    Little carrot and potato patches like how pumpkins spawn currently could work , just have them spawn in the world with lots of tall grass , so you might miss them...

    Sponges should be added into the ocean biomes , if for no practical function , for decoration and making a block that has been there forever finally able to be found legit in survival .
    The ability to use Shears to collect cobwebs for placement .
    A nether stone fence gate to go with the nether stone fences...
    Even generic passive fish and small bird mobs to give the game world more "life"
    Real tables and chairs , possible couches made out of coloured wool...
    Cabinets , another storage item that will look good in your house .
    Some more Minecart and track fixes and pieces . Maybe a booster that works like a redstone repeater , with a switch to set the power of the boost or brake to 20% 40% 60% 80% . Would give so much better control for making rides in game .
    Stronger boats , then maybe even different types like the minecarts...a boat with a chest in it , that doesnt shatter into pieces when you bump into a beach could prove useful...

    If they added mob heads as decorations , I would love if they added the ability of placing a note block above them to use the mobs "sound"

    • Mob spawner experience farms have been nerfed. Well this sucks.
    • Zombies can now pick up and equip items on the ground. Wow, imagine a creeper with full armor and a sword coming towards you. xD


    I don't know what they nerfed with the Mob Spawner experience farms , I just built one and it sort of works like before....BUT , I dont know if this is the change , or it happened before now...I can no longer just hold the button down and rapid fire swing at ANY mob anymore , not just in the exp farm , I actually have to manually click attack each time now . Also the experience orbs dropped do seem less , sometimes none at all , sometimes 1 orb for each zombie killed . So , it would seem like there has been some sort of nerf to it . Probably something to do with how much actual damage you do to the mob .

    After more testing , it would seem that yes , the exps from mobs in a mob farm are cut down a good amount . I think for sure it has something to do with the amount of actual damage you cause the mob , how much exps it will drop now . Thats fine with me , since the change in getting exps I haven't used a mob farm in awhile now , but I still got a few carrots and 1 potato after this experiment...and that is all I would have wanted out of it anyways!

    It didn't even occur to me at first that you can use the new wooden buttons and make yourself an archery shooting gallery with sounds , lights , etc. Something I just started messing with...now if only there was a way to get the arrows off the buttons faster...

    I personally hope they keep in the corner stair thing...makes those spots in roofs looks much better , and now you can actually make decent looking pillars with them as well .

    As far as the Wither boss and its non massive amount of health and that it looks like a dead steve , that is holding a wither skull in each hand(it still might be 3 headed , cant tell lol) I think they will spawn in those round cave rooms we have been finding forever now...
