This Mine is Now Diamonds
This is true. This is a thing that happens.
Not to me of course.
The second I see anything that even remotely resembles lava, I put up a wall of cobblestone three layers thick and a sign that reads “DEATH.”
I then return to my impenetrable mountain fortress and have myself some bread and grilled pork.
Nice mountain fortress Ence.
Thanks!
just lost my diamond pickaxe cos of a anbush of an spider which tossed me into the lava 8/
nerf plz^^
Not sure if you’re a Deadmau5 (techno artist) fan, Ence, but if you’re a Facebook user, like his page and check out his Minecraft adventures. Pretty entertaining pictures, though I’ve yet to try the game myself.
That happened to me with iron, really really sad 🙁
i see what you did wrong there, you took the time to shape the diamond after mining it while the lava moved at 1 mile/hour
got some skills there, cutting the diamond perfectly with a pickaxe.
do you play on multiplayer?
If there’s enough interest, we’re going to set up a Massive Pwnage server. Should be fun!
Just so you know, Minecraft servers eat resources. You need:
4-8 GB RAM (4GB on a vanilla server, 8+GB on a server with management tools installed)
4-core or higher processor with the fastest clock ever (EG Phenom II X6, Intel Core i7, 12-core Opteron, etc.)
A totally stripped down install of your computer OS (I run Ubuntu 10.10 Server with the bare minimums)
Preferably a super fast hard drive
Cable Internet or better (needs Mbps upload not kbps which DSL provides)
BLLAARRRG. That’s demoralizing. The alternative would be to find a hosting service but that’s runs at about $15 a month >:(
You are mistaken, sir.
I’m running a Bukkit server (with several plugins) on an 8 year old HP. It’s no supercomputer, but it runs smoothly.
If you do,i’m definitely in!hopefully it will let modded “MinecraftEditByDarow” versions work ^.^
This, this is a thing that always happens… also replace the lava with sand… that happens as well… and creepers… that happened once…
if notch ever implements trap doors i am totally gonna make a creeper drop trap. EPIC
I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody’s already done something like that. There’s so many possibilities with what you can do in that game, especially with redstone circuits.
I’ve been working on a lot of trap designs since I started playing. Trap doors are totally do-able depending on what you want to do with them. I’ve been running out of ideas for traps and what not lately so I’ve set up this email (ackbarandme@gmail.com). If you want some help with a design, implementation of a trap, or just want to talk minecraft I’d totally be willing to help out 😀
Oh god, why does this always have to happen! There’s always that one block of lava right under/over/near where you’re digging that destroys whatever you just mined.
Yeah, those blocks of obsidian you were going to mine? They keep falling into the lava beneath them -.-
Since I have taken precautions. Should I ever mine down into a resource (the only way I will, now) I will drop a square of water next to it. The water flow gets inconvenient for me, but it will fill the hole and douse the lava before whatever it is gets destroyed.
I hate lava. Love obsidian, but hate lava.
I have a ton of obsidian. I made a gate, but now I don’t know what to do with the rest.
So, this comic basically means you still haven’t found a diamond mine in minecraft?
Would be nice if you bought a minecraft server..
Would be epic!
