    You can't currently place cracked or mossy stone brick in creative mode, either. It's simply not there in the inventory list.

    Re the "mob farms not dropping things" was from a post by Notch talking about what he's considering. You still get items from sun- and water-killed mobs in the 1.8-beta-beta. Who knows if that will stick around, though.

    (Actually, thinking about it now, I kinda like the idea of a server with no mob farms. Other than arrows, I don't think it would change much important.)

    Yeah, things still drop items when they die, regardless of how. They won't drop XP unless you kill them, however.

    Hell, I was in a cave and a skeleton shot a creeper, and in response, the creeper exploded, murdering the skeleton...leaving behind some bones.

    If you don't hit the monster, it doesn't drop any loot. so killing things with lava doesn't work anymore.

    I... I don't think this is true. I could swear I have picked up items from mobs that have died from the sun, at least.

    Also, I was thinking a piston smasher or fall damage.

    Time to do some creative mode testing.

    Yeah it's not true thus far.

    Theeen, I'll just start over in the wonderful 1.8 world. :D

    Not wiped, read the wiki linked in my sig.

    Ohhh. Cool. I shall join the other anxious people in anticipating 1.8 then. I have missed you guys, I just got so burned out, making that airship. :D

    Excellent, now I just need to make the thing in creative and figure out how to deal with Endermen and I think a pyramid might be a perfect way to cover a mob spawner.

    It shall be a glorious temple of the dead.

    Not today.

    As long as your walls are made of cobble steps you should be okay.

    Yep by this point pretty sure Endermen cannot spawn in a 2 high space so solved that dilemma.

    I've replaced minecraft.jar with the new one but I'm still in 1.7?

    My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)

    The Minecraft Launcher should still say 1.7, but the in game title screen is the sexy new scrolling thing.

    Otherwise, replace that .jar again, and this time, replace it HARDER.

    Oh brilliant

    I'm not gonna lie. It's a bit more spartan than I would like, but I'm a mushroom person now, and nothing can change that.

    I think noobville should now be slave quarters under a massive pyramid.

    Golden dong on top of said pyramid is also mandatory, I feel.

    Also, seems you can fly way higher than the block ceiling.

    Or the block ceiling is way higher now?

    1.8? You get it from th link in the OP. it's not an official release just an intentional leak of test code.

    right, so i just tested SMP with a couple of friends. I loaded my single player map in and a few things ive noticed right off the bat:

    My chickens are still there but they arent laying eggs. when i came back from an exploration in the mines one of the chickens had died- possibly it got caught in the wall or floor. not good.

    Endermen are broken in SMP. they don't respond to looking. you can attack them and they will notice you, but they dont freeze while you look at them even after that.

    Chests get stuck open

    doors were silent when i used them but not when other people used them

    Exp is odd. it randomly doesnt drop and sometimes it just disappears instantly (possibly i picked it up and it just didnt show it happening).



    the passive mob issue is going to be a serious problem. no new mobs spawn in already generated chunks, as far as i can tell. and we have no animal husbandry skills, and if chickens don't work properly in smp either... eep.

    Last one I promise. I hate having to use red wool. If they add someway to let us build with mushroom blocks I will be super happy. I guess it is a really hard problem because the side(s) that have the red white pattern changes based on its position in the mushroom.

    Regarding that list of what endermen can't pick up? They can pick up a slab if there's one on top of another, but not there's just one. So a mob tower made with those just wouldn't work, they'd let in the light.

    So, are there dungeon spawners that spawn endermen? Or do new dungeons not work like that anymore

    There will be a mushroom village when the server goes live, you can bet on that! Hell, an underground city with mushroom apartments could easily become the new Underdark.

    A mushroom village built in a cavern entered through a collapsed wall of the sewer system, for all the cave dwellers who hide from the harsh glare of the desert sun and the harsh whips of the desert task masters.

    Already working on ideas for it, but getting mushrooms to grow underground is frustrating so far.

    Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.

    There are monsters spawners still. The abandoned mines appear to have a ton of poison spider spawners buried in mounds of spider webbing.

    undeads still drop their goodies when the sun moidas them

    I played peaceful mode with the intention of getting enough materials to make stuff like traps and fortifications so I can dial it up to normal. But I came up from my mining excursions (under my house) and I found a block missing from a wall. I'm horrified. Are endermen in peaceful mode? :[

    No one said they were smart. Skeletons don't have brains anyway so there's nothing for the zombie to gain

    Come to my place on the server, I have a hidden door you can take a look at if you want to see another design. I'm sure it's similar to yours but seeing someone else's always helps me.
