So are you saying I need to turn off Adventure Mode? Because I cannot break the sand using the default settings in Realms.

I cannot open many chests in the Spellbound Caves. These are the chests that have a sand block on top of them and a sign saying what is in the chest.
Is this by design? Is there a way to unlock them or open them?

Thanks!

Ever since 1.5 update, I can no longer repeat attack or dig with my left mouse click. It does only one action then stops. This means I have to keep mashing my left mouse button.

Anyone know what is up with this?

Awesome, thanks!
It would be great if the author of the post put in a [Last Edited] date in the post so this kind of confusion could be avoided...

I have looked everywhere, but I cannot find the program called MCPatcher. Searching this forum brings up endless discussions about it, but only one download post and it is from March 2011. Can someone help me?

Yeah there might be terrain generation above 128 eventuallly but not anytime soon as Jeb has already stated.

The additional height increase was meant to give players more area to build skyward.

In the meantime you can install mods (like dyanmic height) that can generate worlds with ridiculously high mountains.

Ok I kinda figured as much. So I've been completely out of the loop and haven't played MC in months. Been focusing on WOT and SWTOR, but want to get back to crunching blocks. Can you point me to the mods or stand-alone apps that I could use to build Tall Worlds?

thx..

Huge mountain biomes would be a cool addition. However then you would run into the same issue that caused them to initially raise the ceiling height to begin with. Given the choice though I would prefer to have some mountain biomes that cap out somewhere at 175 to 200 and players forced to work within the games limitations. Being able to build a town or village up in the snow covered mountain peaks would be fun.

LazyJay, what do you mean by something causing them to raise the ceiling? What caused it?

And that would be what?

Will there be an option to generate worlds that use the top 128 spaces in the future? Or will that always remain just a place to build buildings?

thanks...

How do you download the file from Mediafile? I click on download and all it does is pop-up an advertisement...

About a month ago, monsters stopped spawning on my hosted server. I have checked all the server.properties values and everything looks good. Animals spawn fine, but no monsters anywhere. Can someone give me a tip as to why this may be happening? (by the way I suspect it is NOT related to Patch 1.8, as it started a while ago.)
Below is my server.properties file. (x values are automatically added by my hosting company)

i just use this technique to use them to get up hills:

= Powered Rail
= Redstone Torch

it hides the redstone torch too, thats why i like it

You don't even need more torches for consecutive tracks. One will do for about 15 assuming they're all connected.

true, so you will only need the center one really.

I think my point is not that it is impossible, but that they are unnecessarily weak boosters. I have a LOT of vertical track in my system, and I really am a bit peeved that I would need to install several hundred powered rails to make it work.
/buff powered rails pls

I really appreciate the hard work the Devs have done in creating powered minecart tracks. But... I'm sorry to say, they kinda suck. I just spent an hour excitedly tearing down all my boosters and installing powered tracks all along my 2000+ block track.
Bottom line is that I cannot get over ANY of the hills. The hill I finally decided to do testing on now has a double powered track at the bottom, a single powered track 5 blocks higher, and another 5 blocks above that. I cannot get to the 10 block height.
Previously, a booster that was something like 30 blocks away could get me up and over this hill with a lot of speed left over.
Please, can we get more powerful boosts out of the powered tracks?

Anyway, I am off to ... sigh ... reinstall all my booster stations.

I have been trying to search these forums for days, but ever time, I get the following error:

Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes.

So I registered just so I can post this questiong. How do you search these forums?

Thanks...
