    Alright, I want to do the minecraft biodome mod. I loaded it in single player, then put it on my multiplayer server, but that didn't work. Only the starter chunk is right. Is there a way to load all chunks, or a way to go faster?

    Start here and work your way through all three parts. Although unless it was updated for 1.5 I know 1.5 server couldn't handle it.

    One of the first things that I do whenever I spawn a new world is dig straight down through the ground in order to see what I can find. That's typically the first night, after I've built my little shelter. Torches all around like some kind of fucked up seance. I began working my way downward, gradually making progress and planting extra torches along the walls. My last pick eventually broke, so I started heading up the makeshift stairway that I had built... then I heard a noise.

    Looking up, I noticed that all of the torches in my house had disappeared for some reason. Staring down at me were two creepers, simply standing there like statues. I whipped out a sword and carefully made my way up, but once I reached the top of the hole, the creepers were gone. I don't know where they went to. I don't know where my torches went to. All I know is that I put some more light in my house and there wasn't anything inside it except me.

    I've had items and mobs randomly spawn and de-spawn in the weirdest places, but it's never worked out like that before. Genguinely unsettling, especially with the Jolicraft texture pack installed. It makes the creepers look almost Hellraiser-esque.

    Wouldn't you think that a skull pirate cove could fit in Middle earth? We're aiming at something very medieval and the thing about medieval Europe is that... Well there frankly were no coves shaped as skulls :/

    Hey everyone,

    I generally play minecraft on my 40 inch hdtv. I plug into it via an hdmi cable. When I do this I don't have any problems and the game runs at 80 fps with all settings as high up as I can pump them.

    This completely changes when I try to play this game just on the laptop. My fps drops to 15 and the game is extremely choppy.

    I've updated java, this still happens.
    I've got the most updated versions of all my video card drivers...its still happening.

    I honestly don't have a clue what is going on and it doesn't make any sense why it would work perfectly fine when I'm sending the video and audio to a larger screen, but that it has trouble on a smaller one.

    Please help. I have tried to get some help on the Minecraft support forums, but no one is responding :(

    That does sound weird. When you play on your laptop, what screen resolution and bit depth do you use? Then when you attach the external display, what screen resolution is everything at? Is the external used by Windows as a second screen or is it mirrored from the first screen? Which screen is primary, if they aren't mirrored?

    Finally got around to playing SMP so I joined the Diannaochong server. After two days of fumbling around looking at everyone's work and feeling inadequate I finally settled on an uninhabited lake that I claimed for my own due south of what looks like an entire village made for one person.

    By the way whoever made that three tier tree farm has my gratitude, as I needed wood and lots of it.

    My tv is at 1800x1012 in landscape orientation. My laptop is at 1600x900 with landscape orientation. This has to be something with the different resolutions. I'm going to experiment with different ratios on the laptop to see if its not an aspect ratio thing.

    Nope. I changed the resolutions on my laptop and am having the same exact problem.

    By the way, I generally use an extended desktop when hooked up to the TV, but I experimented with all of the options (extended desktop, desktop just on the TV, desktop just on the laptop). I am getting the same exact results. The game just does not like this laptop screen.

    What does this three tiered farm look like? I need a good wood farm idea and so far nothing's come to me.

    I've made a couple underground but they always seem to stop other trees from growing.

    *edit* also, if you happen to know how to make a working "door" out of fence posts so I can make a semi-working portcullis I'd love you forever. In this case my google-fu has failed me.

    That tree farm is quite nice. Unfortunately the tops of the trees are inadequately lit and monsters occasionally spawn there.

    The public tree farm inspired me to make a public wheat farm to provide bread for the masses. I even added a second floor with sugar cane. Last time I was on the server I found it burned to the ground, water flowing everywhere. I try to give back to society and society spits in my face. Well now I'm an objectivist. Screw you, got mine!:x
