Delete your bin folder and try and play minecraft. This will download minecraft 1.2.5 and also an updated LWJGL.jar. re-install the snapshot jar, update java and then play. Hopefully that will fix the crash.

Yes! I can never find slimes.

http://extension.ws/minecraft/slimes.html
this is a really good site to find slime chunks. Dig those chunks out and let them spawn. Maybe even set up a slime farm.
Just put your seed and your coords, and it pops up the chunks. Have fun.

u/xG33Kx May 31 '12
Except on MP where seeing the seed and using slime finder mods are disabled D:

u/Duffman3005 May 31 '12
Except what he linked to is a website that is in no way a mod whatsoever.
Edit- Granted I forgot a server can keep their seed private, so you're right in a sense.

I do a lot of spelunking, and I've found that most times a ravine will bisect a slime spawning area at least once.

We really shouldn't need this site. They shouldn't be so hard to find.

u/mweathr May 31 '12
If you look at the distribution of the chunks on the site, they really aren't hard to find.

u/I_Love_My_M0m May 31 '12
The zombe mod pack Info mod tells you if the chunk you are in spawns slimes. Works on MP as well.

Trick is to run 2x2 corridors through each chunk at slime-spawning levels. Eventually, while mining another you will start to hear/see slimes spawn in them. Note the location that they spawn in, then hollow out that chunk in a 16x16x3 sized room. Get at least 24 blocks away from the room and busy yourself with some mining or something, then come back. You should then have a somewhat consistent supply of slimes.

No-ones realized this, but this is the only way to get circle stone bricks in Survival, legitimately.
Too bad these seem quite rare...

Silly man, there are no circles in Minecraft.

In terms of blocks, true - but there's snowballs, slime balls, clocks, ender pearls, eyes of ender and magma cream.

The fundamental unit of matter, the pixel, is one sixteenth of a meter to a side, assuming the default texture pack. Anything smaller is purely theoretical.

Theory: you run out the other end of the temple and hardcore minecraft temple run starts, you are chased by creepers instead of the usual temple run beasts and you are stealing the diamond from the chest instead of the little gold statue.

Is that the block transmuter glitch? It was fixed in 1.2.5, AFAIK. I may be wrong, though.

I downloaded and attempted with a vanilla client (1.2.5), was not able to reproduce.

u/DrEmilioLazardo May 31 '12
You need to go to this website and download the latest snapshot JAR file. Then copy it into your minecraft directory, replacing the default build. It's pretty easy to do, and you'll get a good look at things that aren't implemented into the official version of the game just yet. But don't get completely attached to anything, as there have been things in snapshots that don't get patched into the release builds.

Mossy Cobble is entering Facebook mode and stocks are going dooooown.

u/Party_Ninja May 31 '12
That's why I took a short position on the IPO on Mossy Cobble (NASDAQ: MSCB) and moved all my liquid assets to municipal bonds (Emeralds). I realize this won't get quite the same yields as taking that gamble might, but I'd rather protect my principal investment.

May 31 '12
I sold as quickly as I could. I feel it is better to invest in diamonds, due to their being rare all the time and their constant demand.

u/Juz16 May 31 '12
They may be rare enough to not affect the price of mossy cobblestone until someone finds it. If you hold onto your mossy cobble long enough, it'll become valued again. It's definitely a long term investment, but one that would be worth it.

If this trend continues we'll have treetop villages and ice towers by next week... I'm not going to complain.

u/eduardog3000 May 31 '12
Top? I was thinking more along the lines of in the trees, more like interconnected tree houses.
2
May 31 '12
Pretty much what I meant, would be an awesome way of incorporating villagers into jungles, but probably difficult as hell to do.
2
u/eduardog3000 May 31 '12
What if the trees that are part of the village generate with the village rather than as a separate tree?

I'm pretty sure jungle villages haven't been added yet (though they are planned, as are other biome villages).

u/TrueAmurrican May 31 '12
Villages were spawning in jungle biomes, but it was just a bug that will be removed, apparently.
1
u/FancySkunk May 31 '12
I believe that the bug was more that it was the standard grasslands village spawning in the jungle, and the fix will be villages with jungle designs.

u/TheJohnMajor01 May 31 '12
I'm a bit worried about them using redstone in procedural generated structures. It could turn out like half of the torches in abandoned mineshafts and just completely bug out. In this temple that doesn't really matter but if you had an inverted redstone torch below tnt... you could finally find that temple you've been looking for only find a big hole where the loot used to be.

u/koniges May 31 '12
It kind of works though, if its supposed to be an old abandoned ruin, things deteriorate and stop working properly sometimes.

u/Itantor May 31 '12
The lever puzzle seems kinda redundant if you can just mine away the block below the middle lever and get at the chest right away.

u/Searth May 31 '12 edited May 31 '12
Not in the new adventure mode :)
EDIT: my critics are right, vanilla minecraft is not ready to be played in adventure mode.
14
u/Itantor May 31 '12
Isn't adventure mode supposed to be used for custom maps though?
18
u/Schelome May 31 '12
That is certainly what I though. Being unable to mine anything in vanilla minecraft just makes it too easy to get stuck.

With trading, it's viable to play through without having to mine (though not to 'finish')

Weren't silverfish added so that you couldn't mine straight through underground fortresses? They could just make it so that mossy cobble also generates silverfish.

Also I've noticed it gives you exp when you mine coal. Is it a bug or what?

u/lazugod RMCT Artisan May 31 '12
A lot of people, upon trying out the snapshot, have been assuming that ore XP is a bug. Why is this? Block breaking never gave XP before, only obvious ores are giving XP, Jeb had indicated he wanted to change the enchanting experience, and people have asked for rare ores to dole out XP since XP was introduced.
What reasons make it seem like a bug? It's in Mojang's interest to learn these reasons, so as to avoid them and make future features seem more natural. So, why?

May 31 '12
What happens when you blow it up with TNT? Tons of exp? Yikes, hope it doesn't lag my game.

Speaking of coal, I've wondered for a long time. Why does coal take so freaking long to mine compared to other ores?

You step on it and it emits a redstone signal. Like pressure plates but more discreet.

I <3 Mojang for making exploring finally worth it. Thanks for these new great looking surface structures. Please continue.

u/wastelander May 31 '12
I like the idea of pre-generated structures in the mix. Why not take it to the next level and take advantage of the creative output of the minecraft community? Have user created buildings, tombs, land features, etc. submitted for review by Mojang with those deemed acceptable thrown into a database (along with placement requirements, ie: biome, depth etc.) and inserted into the land generation algorithm. If the database were large enough (which shouldn't be difficult given the size of the Minecraft community) they would appear to be unique to the players and greatly add to the excitement of exploration. It would also allow players in single player to share their creations with the community.
1
May 31 '12
Great idea!
But I think perhaps a community voting system would work better, that way we have some control and mojang doesn't have to scan 100000 buildings every day. It would be a page full of different pictures of buildings, and community members could upvote/downvote. The highest rated sculptures would then be reviewed by mojang.
Players could also download buildings as well, perhaps.

u/Mozai May 31 '12
If you want this kinda stuff more often in your worlds, get Formivore's "Walled City" and "Great Wall" mods. They're meant for, well, walled cities, but you can use templates with empty walls or empty streets to scatter premade buildings around your world. There's a tool that will convert *.schemata files into building template files.

What is that black trail in the third image? Is that gunpowder? Like, a one-use redstone trail that's supposed to be more discrete?

u/wdejr May 31 '12
It's trip wire. And I agree. It's not very hide-able.
1
u/Razer1103 May 31 '12
Interesting...I still think gunpowder trails could be useful...
They could detonate TNT remotely, once lit, they disappear. They can be activated by fire, instead of redstone. So you could use a flint and steel, or a torch, or lava to set it off. Also, it would go further than 15 blocks.

That's a good idea. but the rarity of gun powder, as of now, would make this difficult.

I deleted the minecraft.jar, replaced it with w22, even put in the server.jar and I get a 'done updating' screen when I open minecraft and it stops there. I had this problem before but I forget what I did to fix it. Any help on this?
