I will never understand how you guys keep falling into random lava pits. The only time I've ever fallen into one is when the sandpit I was mining had one directly underneath it when I started mining. It was the oddest thing.
Lately it's lag, you walk well around it, the game lags, it figures you're not walking clientside where you should be and 'corrects' you (unfortunately) above lava or one block behind it while you're still walking.
I've lost count of how much diamond I've lost already. o_o
BTW, are there any castle-like structures on pece's server? I want to build a bigger one than the one I have on Richard's server, but I don't feel like making 2 on the same server.
I got a nice trick in the bag for that. I only pack just enough tools and resources to proceed for 30 minutes. Then I'm forced to go back home and replenish. At that same time I put resources into chests there. I never carry a lot along.
If you, or anyone, needs specific tools or such I might be able to provide. As of currently I have about 500 iron, 200 gold and 120 diamond.
The open lava is for the piston powered cobble farm which is still a work in progress, I'll glass it over tonight to prevent this from happening again.
I raised a wall around it, so someone has got to be stupid and jump on the wall to fall in now. A safe path goes all around it. Might be that some redstone exceeds 14 paces but doubt it. If so, repeaters should do. Embers seem to spark further now also and caught stuff on fire many blocks away. This seems new and explains some random burn problems such as Pred's wool inn and the prototype arrow cannon.
I got killed several times by warping back home. Changed my home point several times too. The last home point didn't kill me so far...but then again, my first warp point didn't start killing me untill a week ago. I swear, it's something with the server or minecraft, cause I never had problems before.
Wouldn't be so bad if half the time I'm killed I don't also loose my entire inventory!!! Which is even more irritating if youre warping back from a mining session and you're full.
I lost a metic s***load of stuff....
It seems to happen almost exclusively to the people who lag most though. I do have the infinite fall bug sometimes but a relog fixes it safely for me.
