    posted a message on 1.3 pre : Chunk errors (help?)
    I was able to recreate something like this. May not be this though. Just a hypothesis.

    I recreated it by deleting the dat files that were used to generate the world. I did this on a server . Not in singleplayer. I didn't completely delete the world folder. So next time it created a world it had errors.

    My thought is that it might be a security program doing this. Something may be keeping files from changing or saving at all.

    He's talking about keys that stick on the keyboard. Not StickyKeys, the thing for disabled people. Read before you press "Post".


    Are you sure it wasn't that sometimes the keys seem to get stuck on in game? Like sticky keys. (Which I always turn all that stuff off too).

    This is the problem I will have. Be building my tower and suddenly my character starts to walk towards the edge , even though i am not pressing the key anymore. (Pressing ESC seems to fix it)

    This is the best video series I have found for XP farms off of mob spawners.

    3 Smelted Iron in a V shape on a crafting bench will make a bucket. Pick up water with the bucket by right clicking on it. Then place it wherever you want. A 2*2 square with water in opposite corners becomes a infinite water source.

    MP...buy a grass block from someone on the server?
    It takes a shovel with silk touch to harvest a grass block. If you can buy stuff (or trade for ti) it might be a lot easier.

    Though you won't get the same feeling of accomplishment from it.

    Minepedia - look up light. Torches generate something like 14 levels of light on there block. 7blocks away from them hostile mobs can spawn. If there isn't another light source. Something like that.

    Most friendly mobs need grass or dirt to spawn. Squids need water.

    Really like that base. A little dark. looks nice that way though.

    Run it off a flash drive. If you run windows on all three.

    Create a .txt file rename it .bat
    edit it and place the following code in it:
    set APPDATA=%cd%
    java minecraft.jar


    run the bat from the folder on the flash drive you want minecraft ran from.
    replace the java line with
    minecraft.exe

    if you are using a exe to run minecraft.

    Alternatively. Rent a online server and play on that......or make one computer the server and play the game on any of the computers. Connecting to that computer to play that one map.

    Slimes and Pigs on a Flat Map is probably the cause. Take anyone of those things and the game is fine. Combine them all and the game decides it doesn't give a (_______) about processing anymore.

    posted a message on Question about dungeons/ Stronghold
    Go to a desert. Find a pit of sand that is about 5*4 or so about 5 blocks deep. You can't miss it. Dig it up. There should be a Dungeon right underneath the sand. 4blocks down at most. The monster spawner will be buried under sand as well.

    posted a message on this is what i paid money for?
    crew took a realllllly simple game idea, and are using really simple graphics, but are butchering the coding and thus making the game come out laggy for people like myself who dont want to go out and buy an expensive computer. and thats what upsets me, that they are trying to update this game as fast as they can withought seriously attempting to fix underlying issues. i dont expect my computer to run Crysis or Oblivion, but a 3d block themed point and click game? if that doesnt work acceptably on ANY computer then somebody did a bad job making it.


    I have yet to see a game that is has been made in the last 20 or so years that makes optimal use of the systems they run on. Last game that I heard of that was coded to run on the minimum it could (and took pride in it) was "Earthworm Jim". No one bothers coding games that can run on anything in a long time (as far as video games do). Yet still looks the best , sounds the best, and plays the best it can.

    You haven't been keeping up with Minecraft. They have been working on making the game run better.

    Experience - it is the number of levels you can use to enchant items.

    When a game doesn't come with a manual or tutorial (on most versions) I don't think a stupid question would be easy to find. I think you might have to try harder to qualify.

    I don't think it is your computer. It may be the software interacting with each other. I notice that sometimes minecraft runs really crappy on my computer , it all depends on the software setup though (for me).

    My brother is using a
    1.4GHz CPU (single core)
    1GB RAM
    ATI Radeon 2400 HD PRO (really old crappy video card)
    Windows XP
    Desktop Computer.
    His game runs fine. Even when I join it on LAN. Minecraft even runs better for him then it does for me sometimes.

    Like others have said it may mean you need to change something around. I know it shouldn't be needed. No matter how good a game is it isn't going to work optimally on every computer in existance. Sometimes it takes something simple like changing an option. Other times it takes something extreme , like a mod.

    For me minecraft runs best when I install minecraft in a different folder then the one it runs in by default.

    Quote from golddire

    honestly i built this trap because i couldn't think of anything else to do in my 404 map.


    perfectly good reason. That is the reason I build most the stuff I do. Then I get bored till I think of something else to build. Or go to a new map and start it all over again.

    The last pic you posted with the tree in it looks pretty nice.

    Try turning all the things you can in your video card options to "Let the application decide" if it can be.

    I have seen this caused by Antialiasing , though mipmap detail has also posed problems in some games (just haven't heard of it in minecraft)

    I got it in late 2010. Though I can't remember what state the game was in then. I just know I couldn't stand watching all those youtube videos and not getting it.
