I built an Ender Ender (yes, Etho's design) in the End - a gravity grinder. ATM it's purely an Ender pearl farm, but once I expand it out a few stages, I'll raise the floor 1 block and make it an XP grinder as well.

I'm building it legit, so contributions of pistons, redstone torches, snow blocks, and cobblestone are appreciated. I used 64 snow blocks, 64 pistons, and 128 redstone torches for the smallest, inner ring of spawning area. The next ring will require 160 snow blocks & pistons, and 320 redstone torches. The 3rd ring (and probably the final one due to costs) will require 256 snow blocks & pistons, and 512 redstone torches.

Contributions can be left in the double-chest in the center of the Ender Ender (enter the end, and follow the 1m-wide path away from the island). If you contribute, feel free to take a stack of Ender pearls from that chest - it's got like 4-5 stacks. Otherwise, hang around and collect your own dang pearls.

Half my island gets snow, so if I get bored at some point, I'll scoop some up for you.

[TrashMan]

Seems like you guys are having fun there..

Very nice keep there. Reminds me of my first one. Very similar to that one.

Any new and cool methods for tree farms these days?

I don't know how "new" or "cool" it is, but you can get very dense payoff by planting four jungle saplings in a square pattern. They'll sometimes grow into a single, very tall tree. You just chop yourself a staircase to the top, then harvest your way back down. Very efficient.

Use enchanted shovels on trees! Saves you resources, important if you use diamond. Also can save you inventory space.



... I've probably told everyone this a dozen times by now.

Yup, I've done that, but instead of staircasing up, I just toss an ender pearl.

You hadn't told me yet, but I watch Etho too, you know.

[Mongoose]

I just use stone axes myself.  Easy and disposable.

[Pred the Penguin]

But not fast enough... unless you enchant them?

Yeah, more directed at other people...

Stone is good for many things, including cheap shovels. Now, someone needs to mod in baby seals then the shovel will have even greater value than merely digging dirt.

[Mongoose]

Even though it admittedly takes longer, I pretty much always stick to stone tools when dealing with lengthy repetitive mining/digging.  If you're getting a ton of cobble anyway, you can simply make them as you go along, and it saves your iron and diamond for tasks they're required for or excel at.  I mean yeah, I have more than a stack of iron blocks, but I might wind up using some of those for decorations, and I need to keep myself armored, so there they sit for now.

Yeah, I'm a hoarder.

[Venicius]

Anyone have any villagers in eggs they'd like to get rid of? 

[Mongoose]

So that's where babies come from!

[Sandwich]

Yeah, I'm a hoarder.

I used to do just that as well, until enchantments. There's essentially no point in wasting an enchantment on anything but a diamond tool, and once you get an Efficiency IV, Unbreakable III diamond pick, you just can't waste time with anything else.

Well I had some fun last night. Here's an MC server working on my Nexus7:

how long until it chokes itself out of ram?

It isn't even really playable as it is, It cant load enough chunks to fill out someone using far render distance

Still, this is with a 1.3 quad and 1GB of ram, which MC is sharing with android, Ubuntu, and a VNC server.

Give me my OneX+ with a 1.7 quad and 1gb, but run from just SSH... That'll do better. Oh, and Bukkit over stock MC server.

We really need a Tekkit or Technic server, the amount of ****s & giggles and insane constructions would most likely overload the internet. I'd set one up myself, but I'm dirt poor and the moment three blocks get loaded at the same time my rig would most likely detonate in a rather spectacular way.

Pec has one...
...it's running right now...

[pecenipicek]

and it has forestry mode that needs to be plunked into tekkit once you have it dl'ed.
