For anyone interested, I killed 100 zombies.
The average number of zombies between drops at most stages of my experiment (including the end), was 13.
So on average, you will receive an iron shovel, sword, helmet or ingot after every thirteenth zombie.

I probably be more content if it was every 30th zombie. :\
Just my opinion.

With the introduction of mobs dropping iron and gold items, wouldn't it be nice to smelt the items down to its raw form. Gold items = gold ingots, and Iron items = iron ingots.

To balance it, two means of doing it:
1. Smelting takes the same amount of time to operate like cooking smoothstone or charcoal, however you only get half (rounded up) of the material needed to make it. Example: boots will smelt into 2 ingots, pick-axes into 2 ingots, chestpieces into 4 ingots, ect.

2. Smelting takes the amount of time equal to the number of materials in its creation. Smelting a pick ax will equal 3 operations, shovel 1 operation, and leggings 7 operations, etc. The pay off is that you get the total amount of iron used in the item's production.

Iron should stay at it's current rate.

I like this idea. I think they should also have the protection of the item because otherwise why would they have it?

OP: I don't see how iron is "end-game gear." You can go mining and find iron in the first few nights and get more than you can get by killing monsters.

Having the monsters rear the item (and benefit from it) would be amazing as well. Like early Survival mode

To balance out the items, have them pre-damaged/pre-used when you get them as a drop. Somewhere between 25%-50% durability.

It turned into Snappy Thursday!

If there was every 'lore' to the game, I would want it to be random much like any other Rogue generation game. All random, nothing worth except maybe a clue or two on locations (like mushroom biomes and strongholds).

Testificates getting small conversations and icon dialogues (like simply emoticons and such), I'm fine with.

Them giving quests... not so much. Won't mind them giving hints on where strongholds or mineshafts are though.

Looks you made an R/SNOR Latch. :\

Keep baby head huge... it's adorable! :3

You do understand that if you think it makes the game to easy you can just not use those drops right? Hurr durr.

Two players make a sever together. They're both at the same level of playing when they start out.
First Night:

Player 1: Whoa, where'd you get that iron sword?!
Player 2: Oh, I just punched this zombie into a corner until it died.
Player 1: Oh, ok. We should probably make a mine or look for a cave to-
[Player 2 uses the newly-found iron sword to kill all the mobs around their shelter, gaining another iron sword, a pair of iron boots, and a pickaxe in the process)

Player 2 is now at a serious advantage over Player 1, without ever having to explore a cave or make a mine.
In fact, all ores should just drop from regular mobs: no need to make them harder or anything.

Since when the hell is iron armor, tools, and weaponry END GAME stuff??? I always always always have iron the first day... Anyone who doesn't get iron their first day is wasting their time doing something else.

Anyway, this type of feature appeals to new players or players that like a bit of random luck and rewards. I for one think it's awesome.

I say keep the feature... If people out there are going to set up mob traps and farm iron, then who really cares... Its the way they want to play the game. If you don't like it then don't exploit it.

They should also be able to be placed on the celing.

Well it wouldn't be a pressure plate if it's on the wall.
It would be a button.

Let's go with dimensions Height-x-Width

Skeletons = 2x1
Zombies = 2x1
Creepers = 2x1
Spiders = 1x2
Enderman = 3x1

So essentially a 2x1 space can spawn zombies skeletons and creepers but not spiders or endermen

a 2x2 area would allow spiders to also spawn and a place with a 3 tall hallway will allow endermen to spawn.

Additionally mobs cannot spawn on halfblocks that are not stacked or stairs.

It is true. The mobs need space to spawn, so their character models call for a little bit of area around them to be created. However, they can wander into 1 block wide areas, unless it's a spider or a slime that is wider than 1 block.

I hate these topics... mainly because they are always so full of "dumb".

1) I agree water physics aren't great, but if they changed them drastically, EVERYONE would be spewing so much hate about it because of all their precious "creations" that got broken, they'd just have to put it back the way it was anyway. Jesus Christ, simply removing the ladder hitbox caused a cataclysmic uproar because 3 people used them for parkour-style maps. There's not a chance in hell of water physics getting altered now. The community would NEVER let that happen.

2) No one in this thread should be commenting on "how hard to code" something is, unless they have actually coded professionally, and specifically modified minecraft classes to do what they are suggesting. If this **** is "so easy to do", then do it your damn self, and release the mod to the community. Hell, Jeb might even say "cool" and put your code in the next update. In other words, "Put-up or Shut-up".

3) As mentioned a few times in this thread, the main issue that Jeb had with Silk Touch on Ice blocks was not that you could put ice blocks in the Nether and get water (although that would need to be addressed as well), it was that mining the ice block with silk touch still produced a water source block. That was something that was apparently not easy to fix, because Jeb himself said "I don't have time to fix that right now". Hopefully he will find a chance to figure out a way around that and make it work right (as well as the water-in-the-nether issue), because I do agree that it would be very nice if silk-touch worked on ice.

4) For all the tards that will inevitably say "so who cares if the ice still leaves a source block? That's not an exploit, it's only a water source block!" The problem with it has NOTHING to do with it being over-powered, since it's quite obviously not. It has to do with it simply being an obvious bug, and logistically sloppy. If you are removing the ice, there should not be a water source left. Is it a game-breaking exploitable bug? Or course not, but it's still something that is quite obviously "not the way it should work". I wouldn't release a feature with an obvious bug in it either, even if the bug was harmless.

Hi guys this is a nice and compact machine that is more discreet than a secret piston door! :biggrin.gif:

Etho's has the right concept but poorly done.
May I recommend these

Yes sleeping will screw up an hourly clock. Sleeping only changes the sky and light levels. Your clock is not hopeless. Build a light sensor, and have it reset your clock at morning. This should account for sleeping plus your clock will always be super accurate.
