Nice! I heard a solution to creeper holes a while ago: fill them in with water, it only takes 2 inventory spots to always be able to do so, and turn them into nice little ponds dotting the countryside.

Honestly, I like the industrial look of large exposed redstone builds. Especially if there’s been some terraforming of the region to appear more industrial.

RuneScape 3 (RS3) wasn’t broken when Old School RuneScape (OSRS) was first announced or brought online either. It’s not doing well now, possibly to the point it’d be fair to call it broken, but that’s more of a slow decline over years that didn’t happen to OSRS.

A big part of why OSRS was created was because a lot of people didn’t like the ‘revolutionary’ changes made to RS3 and didn’t like the direction the game was going in. A big part of why it’s still around and now more popular than RS3 is because it’s treated differently by Jagex and its community.

Eh, the same could probably be said of RuneScape but they tried revolutionizing the game and it alienated enough people that as a reaction they started a second game using old code from years before the update that split the community.

Now there’s RuneScape 3 and Old School RuneScape… and Old School has the larger community.

Honestly? I’m probably going to have at-least one bundle on me all the time once this comes out and I start playing again. I think they’re going to be pretty useful… and I never end up playing a world long enough to have an Enderchest full of Shulkers.

Thanks, I’ll go rewatch them. Dunno why but I had put two & two together that gen. building advice still works.

Okay, that pyramid is amazing, and so’s the city.

I’ll see what I can do. For the most part I do need the block I have to stay but I’m thinking on some places I might be able to shave it and I have plenty of space around it to edit outward.

Thanks for the tips!

Yes. Brutalism is unironically my favorite architectural style. Not entirely sure how to translate it to Minecraft but I suppose now’s the time to do it.

Nice! Always love to see some personally engineered redstone contraptions!

If I may offer suggestions:

• You can increase the depth of the pit and line it with trapdoors so they’ll still pathfind in.
• You can use pressure plates for autonomous activation as suggested by other commenters
• If you have or can find some slime making the pistons sticky-pistons and having them move solid blocks should make the mechanism more dangerous to the mobs.

Does the head look like it has a red recolor of the Gamecube Logo to anyone else?

Yeah, that’s fair. I don’t know how militarized your aestetic is but you could try making snowman flamethrower turrets to keep them away from your base.

ETA: Snowballs are entities, entities can be on fire and transfer fire to things they hit. Snow surrounding a snowman with netherrack and lighting it will let it set enemies hit on fire.

Thanks.

It’s been in there quite a while, I always have my ladders missing the bottom-most block so that they can’t climb them. You jump onto the ladder and since mobs can’t jump they can’t follow you.

Pillagers. They add nice variety in being non-creeper always hostile mobs that can exist in daylight.

If you’re going to rebuild this place with realistic infrastructure I’d love to see a before/after of this disasterpiece.

What’s the purpose of this building?

It actually looks pretty decent so if you have a significant internal space you may just want to leave it open or give it a flat glass roof for a skylight.

Dogs, I just like having backup when I’m out on an adventure.

To add to this: Yes, it does feel absolutely awful to lose the world when you die in hardcore.

However, I also find the investment into the admittedly temporary and fragile world to be really rewarding. Doing things has a greater feeling of accomplishment, even if they’re the mundane actions of just staying alive in survival.

Still reeed pretty hard when on my longest-running hardcore I died to piglins while bed-mining because I forgot to bring a backup gold helmet.

IIRC it’s always block 9,9 or one of a small number of predefined block locations within a chunk. Minecraft, like our own brains, cheats a little in making the magic happen.

Okay, now that is cool.
