    I have a question about copying schematics to new worlds.

    I have a world that got corrupted because of the new snapshot. I was able to recover the world through an MCEdit script that somebody posted on Reddit, but everything in my chests was gone (apparently this happened because I loaded it in an uncorrupt version before discovering the fix). I copied over my storage room from a week-old backup, so now I'm trying to copy over individual chests that I have scattered around my world. So before copying them over, I just saved a whole bunch of them in the schematics folder.

    My problem now is that since I have a whole bunch of chests that all look the same in the schematics bar on the right, how can I tell which one I'm copying over? I named each one individually to determine which chests go where, but the name doesn't seem to come up on the actual MCEdit program, so I just have a whole bunch of chests that look the same in the sidebar with seemingly no way of knowing which chest is which. How can I tell? Is there something obvious I'm missing?

    This sounds interesting. Damange Screenshots sounds very useful especially for Hardcore or UHC worlds. Climate Control also sounds nice.

    That "hideous orange wood" is amazing though, tbh

    Caving is a ton of fun. It does get repetitive after a while, but sometimes I find myself held back only by a shortage of wood or food. I hope to see Mojang expand upon the caving content soon. 1.7 was the Biome update, maybe 1.9 could be the Caving update!

    I also really love making storage rooms, for some reason. I guess the satisfaction of having my storage all neatly arranged in a huge, beautiful room is very powerful.

    Finally, I love making places look nice after they're "done". Sometimes I find the process of actually building large structures to be tedious and/or frustrating, but doing all the prettying up of areas is so much fun it's worth it. Because of that I don't know if I'll ever be a regular builder of huge structures. I prefer making lots of little structures, building into mountainsides, or designing outdoor areas.

    Honestly the Ender Dragon isn't hard at all. That's one thing I hope to see soon, is more challenge for the Ender Dragon.

    Withers on the other hand...

    The new terrain is a massive, massive improvement upon the old terrain in pretty much every possible way.

    posted a message on What mojang is heading towards with these updates
    Quote from _Oneiroclept

    I highly doubt Mojang will be heading in the "Lets polish our game up!" route any time soon. All they've done for the last 3 years is dangle sparkly things in front of us hoping we wont realize that sparkly things come first and fixing the game comes second.


    And in one post you've proven that you don't know a damn thing about what all of these technical changes are actually for.

    posted a message on How Big is Your Minecraft World
    The world that I played on almost exclusively from 1.2 through 1.6 (I didn't play it much by that time as I had a server I was playing on) made it to 256MB, probably mostly because I went off exploring about 10,000 blocks once.

    My current world that I've been playing for only a few weeks is at 126MB, apparently. I'm not sure how because I've only gone about 1,000 blocks or so in each direction. Maybe it's because I had to go for a ways in the nether to find a fortress??

    I ran a multiplayer server that had about 15 players whitelisted (although only about 7-8 active players) that I started just a couple of weeks before 1.5 came out (shut it down just prior to the release of 1.7) that reached 403 MB. I then re-started it in 1.7 (although I've already shut it down because, although it was very active at the start, activity pretty much stopped by January) that reached 485MB.

    posted a message on What is your favourite addition to the new minecraft 1.8 snapshots?
    Andesite and Granite (Diorite, eh, not so much). Slime blocks seem really awesome but I haven't played with them much yet.

    I also like that they found a great use for lapis lazuli, and the enchanting seems much more useful. I'm hoping that they still tweak some things though, but it's much better, especially anvils!

    I'm also assuming that villager trading makes more sense now, but I haven't had a chance to play with that yet. And the fact that villagers will actually harvest and share crops with other villagers, that's very cool.

    posted a message on If Mojang was trying to be more realistic with the minecart changes...
    I dunno, I think it would be funny to let him redesign his entire rail system, then rage-quit Minecraft altogether once he realizes that his efforts were all for nothing.

    I was hoping that these changes were a bug (I decided to use this snapshot to start building a huge rail, only to come across bugs that made it unusable, lol, guess I'm going to have to wait a few days), so it's good to hear that they are.

    It's a private server with your friend. I say who cares? If you want to use x-ray packs and use creative to build huge projects, it doesn't affect me at all.

    I wouldn't consider it cheating if it was completely out of your control.

    posted a message on It seems that the underground is no longer swiss cheese anymore.
    I started a new single player world in the snapshots, and after a month of playing, despite lots of caves, I only found 1 dungeon.

    However, this doesn't seem to be any sort of set rule. I started a new server for me and my friends to play on once the 1.7 release officially came out, and I myself have found 4 dungeons in just 5 days. I know another person on the server found a double dungeon, and I know other people have found dungeons as well. And this is all in cave systems very near spawn. Maybe it was nerfed in the snapshots, but fixed in the official release? Or it could just be luck.

    To the poster above: horse armor generates very frequently in nether fortress chests. If you can't find any dungeons or temples, then your neighborhood nether fortress should have some horse armor. Also my brother found 2 desert temples and a jungle temple when he went exploring, and that was within 1000 blocks of the spawn area. Of course, it helps that we got a dry spawn area.

    I have definitely noticed the subtle change in cave generation - I was starting to wonder if it had changed, and this seems to confirm it. Caves definitely seem to be more "stringy" and less "clumpy", and the swiss cheese caves are nearly gone, or at least much much rarer.

    The one thing that I'm most upset about though is that enchanted books are much rarer now in dungeon chests (the wiki seems to confirm this). I can get nerfing the generation a little bit (getting 3 or 4 enchanted books in 1 dungeon is a little bit ridiculous), but it now seems to be the most rare item (along with diamond horse armor and golden apples). That frustrates me because that is literally the best loot. I only care about so many saddles and record discs. Also, you can only find 2 types of music discs in chests. Was this always the case?

    Red sand seems pointless if you can't make red sandstone. Hopefully next snapshot!

    I hope to a see a gravel/sand combo with some clay thrown in here and there.

    I don't mind if most of the clay stays in rivers, lakes, and perhaps ocean shorelines.

    I found redwood forests in the first 2 new worlds I spawned. In one of them you spawned in it.
