    posted a message on Red Rings of Death from power surge... Help?
    Quote from Retic

    Also, how long can I play without it overheating?

    Probably just occasionally touch it to feel if it's warm? If it is, then it's overheating, and you can simply stop using it to take a break while it cools down. I don't know how long it takes to overheat (never owned an Xbox console), but I have a sega genesis that overheats while using it often (or at least the power adapter). I don't think your X360 will be in any danger from overheating, as long as you make sure it doesn't stay overheating for long, and turn it off as soon as it does.

    Again, I have never owned an Xbox console, so I cannot be 100% certain.

    I watched the video, this is pretty amazing! Reminds me a lot of mineblocks.

    It will be minecraft in minecraft when it is 3d.

    I don't think that's even possible, I mean there COULD be some way to make it 3d, but it would have to flip between the X axis, and the Z axis, it would be more of a pseudo 3d.

    posted a message on Guide for Finding the Elusive Emerald
    Or just do the following steps.

    1. Find XHills biome
    2. Create a mine and dig to layer 12
    3. Start a basic branch mine
    4. Mine until you find emeralds
    5. If you find any caves, mine any useful ores (I found my first emerald behind a vein of coal)
    6. Find emeralds
    7. ???
    8. Profit

    Basically, just set up a mining colony in the nearest XHills biome to your base, or make your base in an XHills biome, and mine as you normally would until you find emeralds.

    Or we're you trying to maximize output of emeralds?

    posted a message on Forum rules protest (This will probably give me an infraction)
    Quote from Rakanoth

    For some reason some people have this illogical fear where the eldritch beings referred to by mortals as "moderators" will descend upon them at the slightest disagreement on how the forum should or should not work even though they're not breaking any rules. Why? Beats me, but I would venture a guess it's because people have no idea what the rules are nor what they are for.


    I think it is because of the fact that some people (myself included) can have an exaggerated fear of people of authority (this may especially be true on multiplayer servers). This is because IMO, those people know that the admins are capable of banning and/or muting you.

    Basically it's irrational fear of punishment from people of authority.

    posted a message on Is this considered trolling/griefing? If so how do I stop it?
    Quote from Mad_Murdock2010

    Tell him your brother does not find it funny so he must stop, period,
    if he does not stop, permanently ban him.

    give them one warning, if they continue, permanent ban. they had a warning, what is this give them lots of chances they could change..

    you keep warning people or temp banning them and they begin to think your a joke.


    What if he actually was joking around, and wasn't trying to be mean, but didn't realize he should change, until he already got banned? Now he cannot play minecraft with his friends for the rest of his life... I know you should be firm with the punishments and all, but that's pretty harsh to do to an IRL friend.

    Think about it, you get one warning, you mistakenly ignore it, or forget about it, and now you're banned from playing with your friend for the rest of your life!

    Ask your brother if he is okay with it. If not, then tell your friend that if he doesn't stop, then you will temporarily ban him. If he doesn't stop, then temporarily ban him for 24 hours. If he still continues after the ban expires, then temporarily ban him again for 2 days. If he still does it after all that, then permaban him, and tell him you don't want to be his friend anymore.

    posted a message on Did the Terrain Become BORING? (UPDATE 6/5/13 - 1.7 is a biome update?)
    Quote from Kholdstare

    ß1.8 took a decent terrain generator and made it into a bad one and additionally contributed to breaking the game's balance alongside r1.0. All r1.7 did was take a bad generator and change it so that it's slightly better (but still worse than ß1.7 and nowhere near what it could be) and remove most of the hope of a better terrain generator in Vanilla for the future.


    Yes, it is true that Beta 1.8 was worse than release 1.7, because it completely ruined the terrain and broke the balancing. I wouldn't go so far as to say release 1.7 made the terrain slightly better though. IMHO, release 1.7 actually made it worse, if you spawn in a temperate climate, you are most likely going to see plains and forest biomes for thousands of blocks. That makes the variety so mind-numbingly bad, that it makes beta 1.8's terrain look good.

    How on earth did they think doubling the amount of biomes, and adding stricter biome grouping, would fix the problem? What compelled them to do this? What... WHERE THEY THINKING!??

    Quote from TheMasterCaver

    Actually, caves have changed


    And that was literally the only good thing to come out of 1.7 that was suggested by the community. Everything else was awful.
    No, doubled biomes do not count because it was supposed to be altered variation originally.

    1.7 is literally the post-release version of beta 1.8.

    Mojang actually implemented this in the latest snapshot. Slime blocks now allow pistons to push blocks the piston is indirectly connected to.

    Pretty awesome that they actually implemented a community suggestion!

    So they actually implemented the "piston cars and infinite memory"? Suggestion? Awesome!
    This will allow for some revolutionary innovations with redstone!

    1.8 looks very promising! Kind of ironic really...

    posted a message on Dimensional Doors v2.2.4
    Quote from SenseiKiwi

    No, they aren't textured. They're created by placing particles in a certain way, so you can't change their appearance like with blocks. RIFT.png is the texture for the portals in doors.

    What would tile.rift.png be then? If they are created using particles, then wouldn't they use a particle texture from vanilla minecraft? Can rifts spawn underground? I wouldn't want to run into one while mining!

    posted a message on Dimensional Doors v2.2.4
    Is there any way to change the look of the inactive rifts in the tekkit version of the mod? The only files I can find are tile.rift.png which is a blank image, and RIFT.png, which is clearly not the in-game texture.

    Those inactive rifts are almost like a phobia to me, for some strange reason. Mainly because I find they look creepy. :o

    posted a message on Denmark in Minecraft - All Of It
    4 billion blocks? I did the calculations using windows calculator, you can fit approximately 72 Denmark's inside the boundaries of the minecraft world (before the fake chunks @30 million blocks on each side).

    Also sach, 4 trillion is the number you are looking for. Four thousand billion isn't even a proper number. Just thought I'd point that out.

    Lol I'm so clever at math.
