Minecraft Forums

I've been playing Minecraft on a few servers since the beginning.
I've never seen a server that monetizes services in-game, so I couldn't care less about this issue, and I don't get why people are getting so upset.

I have never heard of such a weird situation in Minecraft.
All animals have vanished from our (completely vanilla) server overnight. Pens are empty, so are plains, and no new animals will spawn anywhere.

Even using eggs won't work. The animal will appear briefy before disappearing when using an egg.


This only happens with animal mobs. Monsters are unaffected, and so are villagers and golems.
I have never heard of an animal-only spawn command.... so I'm at a loss here. Help me.

I know. But it's not like I can build a corral each time I dismount from my horse to explore something.
You'd think the leads exist for a reason.

It happens all the time for us.
(and yes, we're playing multiplayer on a server too)

Is this a known issue?

I use leads to tie my horses to fence posts... but they always end up freeing themselves after a while.
Is it a glitch? Or do leads have a durability?

It's really annoying. I always need to keep on eye on them. And since they can't fit in a 1x1 space, I can't just make a little fence around them with a fence door...

I think it's great. Makes mining a lot harder in the nether (as it should be).
Just make some decent armour, and you can survive lava, easily.

Great, the "Unplayable means fun" crowd again...

Anyway. You're missing the point. Armor has nothing to do with this. I don't die in the lava. I know how to run away. But then there's a lava mess everywhere and it. DOESN'T. GO. AWAY.

It's just needlessly irritating, and I don't think irritating is fun in any way.

I wouldn't say I hate those things, but damn do they can mess your Quarz mining big time. Was that really necessary?

I mean, the hidden lava, coupled with the insane speed lava now spreads in the nether AND the way lava doesn't go away when you remove its source block (or goes away REALLY slowly) makes digging through the nether a nightmare.

Basically, one mistake and you're screwed. Lava's everywhere and you can't stop it unless you cheated some water blocks in your inventory.

What's everyone opinion of that?

If more blocks are to be added, I would like blocks that serve as more building materials. I think that the quartz blocks are a step in the right direction, and I hope that more naturally-generating blocks will be added that can serve as building materials. Digging is pretty boring. If a block is not an ore (as is usually the case), then it will be dirt, stone, or gravel. That's about it. I think that more forms of rocks should be added, such as slate, chalk, or shale. These would not have any technological purpose, but would serve as a building materials. and will also simply make caves look prettier. I would definitely use these blocks to make my cave-home more colorful (even if it is simply a dark shade of grey).

THIS.

It seems everyone always claims for more mobs, new mechanics, new redstone stuff and new structures and whatnot.
But what about us builders?

When will we finally be able to get new materials? Quartz is awesome. But we've been dying to get new materials and not just one or two new blocks here and there. (and before someone says "useless", please get out and let me enjoy my Minecraft too)

Differently colored wood planks for house building. And glass for nice stained glass windows. With paint? I Dunno.

There should be brownish and whitish stone and cobblestone variants too. It would make mining much more interesting and more varied building options. (Not end stone. End stone looks kinda weird next to cobblestone with its inverted texture)

Blocks of hay. With stairs and slabs. For roofing and farmland decoration. Please.

Blocks of coal. Since coal would be the only ore without a matching block. Sexy black surfaces. And one could smelt an entire stack in the furnace.

A way to craft Chiseled Stone Bricks yourself. Those things are mad rare.

Reinplement Sponge blocks and do something with 'em.

Stairs and slabs made of snow too.

A new craftable block : Plaster. Made from cobblestone, or something, but ends up smooth and whitish. It would be helpful to build german-style houses, or more modern buildings... ceilings, walls and other things.

Those are just my little ideas at the moment, but yeah, I think it's about time we builders unite and request our own update too.
Redstone Blocks, Flower pots and item frames were a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned. Miners, traders, explorers, adventurers, farmers and engineers already got a lot of focus lately. Our turn should come.

You don't say. Considering Redstone is abundant, and I was never much of a circuitry person, I already see tons of things I could build out of these. Creepy evil overlord castles, here I come.

Those things have been strangely missing from the game for way too long. I don't even understand why it took Mojang so long to finally add them, considering every other ore but Coal has a block. (and I really hope we can craft coal blocks soon as wall)

They're power sources AND they look really nice. And make storing redstone so much easier.

I'm happy. This one feature is one that I've been requesting since the dawn of time.

Let's hope they give us Hay Blocks someday, which would be my second request.

Why is there no snapshot this week and why isn't anybody talking about this?
Did I miss something? ^^;

Turn off Windows firewall if you're on windows, and make sure that no other anti-virus programs or firewalls is blocking the program.

I got none of this active. My firewall is on my Modem.

Still not working. I just said it was a TCP/IP thing

I have rather basic TCP/IP skills only.

I made a world, and /published it.

My friend is right next to me with his laptop but he cannot access it. He sees it on the "find lan" screen, but cannot connect to it. (it timeouts)

I guess I gotta do some port forwarding shenanigans on my router? Nothing I tried worked, though...

1. Servers like the one you play in will be affected badly with this change, yes, but most servers don't consist of friendly people who have no intention of stealing items. Thus, it makes more sense for ender chests to be used as storage which is completely anti-griefable rather than to be used to share items.

I wouldn't say it would be affected "badly" since it's not 1.3 yet but it was a feature we were all looking forward to.
But yeah, our server is super friendly and whitelisted. I still don't see why people play on griefer servers.

But like it's been said, they should have the option to be either public chests of private chests...

2. The fact that you could pick it back up was way overpowered. You could go mine in dungeons without any risk of losing your items. All you had to do was: Mine ores, immediately place the chest down, put the ores in the chest, pick the chest back up, find other ores, repeat. I think you can agree that this was not the ender chest's intended use.

Right... but... you can still do just that. Just carry a stack of ender eyes in the chest at all time and a crafting table. A hassle, but still possible. Maybe they should just stop trying to restrict a game that's unrestricted by nature in wonky ways... Oh well.
