what have we learned about carts and lava apez? xD

My basic idea (for a future project, don't want to reveal too much) was sending a minecart into lava, which sets the passenger on fire, and then somehow putting out the fire with water and continuing along the track. This makes the passenger panic and lose a few hearts before being saved by water.

We've learnt that it's doable, but takes a bit of effort and a couple of lost inventories before it works properly

I've theorised another way of doing it, so I'm going to give that a try at some point.

An update tomorrow it seems!

That means: better get as much playtime in as possible today...

It actually means back up your server now.

How about a drowner thing?

Water placed 1 block above the track throughout the length of a tunnel should hold the players head underwater, then they can pop out the other side when they're on their last bubble

(That's just a theory)

water washes away tracks so unless you can have a sign/ladder and a tack occupying the same space?

We tried something similar, but while in minecarts, player height seems to act as if it is set to 1, rather than 2. So they wouldn't drown, but they would still take damage from going through a tunnel 1 x 1.

Water is also a pain in the ass because it slows the carts down a lot, it's better to drop players through it, or into it. If they start suffocating, i'm worried they would just get out

Went exploring on single player and found this

Think the lava spat and took out a tree and it spread

I notice there is a main railway going near my spawner, can I have a stop put on it please?

Yes you can, but we are going to have to rethink the tunnel near the spawner since animals are spawning in there when it is active.

Need to tunnel down at some point,

Surely the animals ain't due to the spawner :confused:

Since only monsters spawn in there and I've lit up some of the ground outside.

Er its because the area is active I think when the spawner is being used.
Not sure how you stop animals spawning in a 3x3 area.

But a tunnel should sort the issue since animals can't spawn underground.

Something to work on though.

CAN I NOT HAVE ANYTHING THAT STAYS INTACT IN THIS GAME!!??

Spent 3 hours on my new house last night, just logged in to find this!

Does it matter who's house it is? Clealy someone has caused damage and you just left it.

Thanks a bunch.

iNPUt · 13 Jan 2011 at 12:23

Hold up do animals only spawn on grass? Easy fix if so.

LeJosh · 13 Jan 2011 at 12:29

I don't even play but you lot seem to be griefing each other. lol

Such a drama thread.
