Yes, it's a style of branch mining I came up with. The idea was to make sure I could see every single block from 5 to 16 so that no ore gets left behind. I thought I had a screenshot of it but I checked and I guess I don't. The style I came up with isn't efficient but if you want the material for building then it works out.

Ok, here is a screenshot from my branch mine on the old map of my SMP server. The one I'm using now is slightly different but the concept is the same. The fence you see is to keep the slimes out of the middle.

*Edit* I just realized this isn't the right screenshot but I can't find one closer to my current one so this will have to do.

It looks like this to me: LE= Low Explosive, M= normal TNT, HE = High Explosive. I don't think the middle one is H, I think it's M because if you look at the other H it's clean and the E in LE is also messed up the same way.

I can't understand how you haven't found enough copper yet. I've got more of it than I can use now. Just mine more and you're bound to find it. I mean it only takes 4 copper bars for a machine frame. If you can't even find 4 copper ore you aren't digging enough. Once you get a crusher, in exchange for fuel (coal, lava buckets, etc...) it produces 2 dust from one ore, doubling the yield because 1 dust smelts directly into one bar.

I realize I can't speak for everyone on this issue but, in my opinion, we need players who are serious about staying. I've been around since August of last year and I've seen tons of people come and go since then. Our moderators and admins are great; there are no douchey ones or ban-happy flakes. They are more than fair but also don't put up with B.S. They catch the griefers fast and send them on their way. I can personally attest to this.

I'm weird so I don't get overly friendly with people (I'm an anti-carebear) but everyone else is normal (except Rockzo ) Everyone is willing to offer advice and answer questions if you're new to the game. My feeling is "What is there not to like?" You get out of this server what you put in which is why I'd like to see more people looking to play long-term. It's hard to build a lasting rapport with people who only log in a couple times and never come back.

There is no justification for attacking someone like many of the posters in this thread have. Even if you think their arguments are the dumbest thing you have ever read, being a complete jackass and treating them rudely are completely unwarranted. IMO YOUR attitudes are more rotten than the original poster. Your indignation at their complaints is self-righteous, you whine about how they're being ungrateful for free updates which is a completely irrelevant argument and amounts only to character assassination of the OP. Instead of offering creative criticism, you offer scorn wrapped in elitist pretense. I'm getting sick of the miserable, snarky people in this community too. No one says you have to be a carebear but being nasty and insulting makes these forums a really unwelcoming place at times.

As for the 1.6.1 update: I don't care one way or the other. My only complaint so far is that the mods I used aren't working properly with Forge which isn't Minecraft's fault.

Ok, I posted about the double mod bug on the Forge forums and LexManos, the coder, told me that it's not Forge that is the problem, it's the mods. He said this : "This is a bug on the modders end, not ours. he is declaring himself a coremod, and a regular mod in the same jar. Both identfiing themselves as the same exact mod, Hence duplicate mods."

My main world I play on peaceful exclusively now. It sounds stupid to play survival totally on peaceful but I like still having to work to get/build stuff without getting ripped apart by monsters. When I take the time to build something I don't like having it blown up by creepers or having my mines infested with baddies. I know I'm the only one who thinks so but I really believe Minecraft is better without monsters. I could take it a step further and say I wish there were next to no caves and no lava either. Like I said, I'm weird.

The way I see it... you messed with his stuff. Whether or not you think he is overreacting, he has a right to be pissed off. The honest thing to do, though unpopular, is to return all the diamond you took from him. I can guess that you don't want to do that and if so nobody can convince you but it would be the best thing to do to end the dispute.

In response to build results don't feel earned and creative mode is cheating, this is a SANDBOX game. The entire purpose is to do what you want. So, in reality, there is no way to cheat in this game.

A lot of players feel like they've cheated if they switch from survival to creative to avoid dying, losing items, or just getting items that are too hard to get.

But on topic. I think it all depends on how much time you've got. If you are planning on building something big and impressive, it's going to take a long time even in creative. Even more in survival when you factor in the gathering materials, avoiding and killing mobs, running around, eating, and whatever else.
I can see where you're coming from when you talk about it not feeling rewarding when you build something in creative, but you've got to understand the limits of what is realistic in survival, and what isn't. Yes you could build almost everything in survival as you could in creative, but the time you spend on gathering the materials and just surviving could have been used to build another structure in creative. If you've done survival in the past and know how to survive, you might as well just do it in creative.

In the alloy machine.....

Are you trying to place ores or dusts in the machine? In order to make any alloy, you have to first crush the ores in the crusher to make two dusts. Most alloys can be made by placing the two component dusts in any crafting grid (inventory, crafting table, etc.). Only the highest tier alloys must be made using the alloyer.

Is something really big supposed to happen in this update? I can't load videos and I didn't see a post anywhere so I have no idea what the deal is.

These are just some of the highlights from the version history page on the wiki:

- Approximately one in ten zombies is a zombie villager that can be cured with a splash potion of weakness and a golden apple, turning them back into a regular villager.
- Skeletons, zombies, and zombie pigmen can sometimes spawn wearing equipment, which they will drop upon death.
- Skeletons, zombies, and zombie pigmen can occasionally pick up items on the ground, which causes them to drop whatever else they were carrying. Picked up items will drop upon death.
- Added command block for adventure maps which performs server commands when powered by a redstone signal.
- Added beacon block which grants special powers to nearby players.
