I leveled a hill on my beach and also flattened an 80x80 area and I have like 4-5 boxes full of dirt and cobblestone, and a good amount of wood too.
Regular landscaping or mining can net you a ton of stone and dirt, sand is pretty easy to get for making glass too, and coal can add up pretty fast.Suairyu said:

Um guys
Why is there a black monolith in my MInecraft?
I've been wandering weaponless in a random direction, with the intent of exploring for a while then killing myself to return to base. I've found this pillar of black.
In actuallity, you can stand in it, and its like being in the blackest cave, even though its just one block in width. Stil really surprised me when I saw it.

Aw damn, I thought it might have been going all Arthur C Clarke on me.
I tried to make some torches to create a beacon, but weaponless as I was a spider just humped me to death. Don't think I'll be able to find it again, was miles away!
My level must be getting huge because I keep getting crashes. Even with lowered distance. I was exploring the vast ocean filled with islands that got generated and found many awesome caves and wonderous sights. Like this amazing mountain and floating islands like something out of a fantasy novel...
Then as I was sailing back, my game crashed again and when I came back in I was where I was, but my boat was gone. Presumably back in the dock where it was before I left.
So now I've walked back to my "Home" and the game crashes again as I touch the ground.
*sigh*
Seems to only crash when I look out into the "ocean" area to the North. Which sucks because all the stuff I've built looks over there. Guess I should have never explored out there. Maybe it's corrupt? Or the game can't handle it? Gonna try setting distance lower again.
Problem is when the game crashes, it still saves your location, but not your world progress. So you could be digging deep into the ground, and it crashes, when you reload, the tunnel is gone but you're stuck inside the ground. You need to dig down fast to make a pit to fall into to survive then figure out how to get out. It really shouldn't save your location.

I've had repeated problems with crashing, but there's a few things that I've found to help - firstly, make sure FPS limit is on, secondly, make sure Fancy graphics are turned off, and thirdly, use the default textures. I haven't had a crash in ages since I stopped using texture packs.
Memory is normal. It's only like 350MB real memory and 550MB virtual.
My entire world is about 20MB total. It only started problems when I decided to check out the distant northern area which was mostly water and islands. (As opposed to mostly land and lakes like the world started out as.
I might start a new world and see if it happens again and when it does. I have Time Machine, I could probably retrieve a previous world copy and see when the problem started. It first crashed when I discovered a spherical cavern underground.
Heh.. This is so weird. Something REALLY strange happened last time I crashed. It happened at night and i was in a boat. When I came to, I couldn't see, it was dark and my boat was supposedly missing. Now it's day again and there's FOUR boats (Maybe more) floating in the ocean in a pathway. Like it kept saving the boat in each section of the world as it went along.
Aaaaaaand now it just crashed again as I was about to jump in one of the boats. Heh.
Edit: Scratch that, there's 6 boats. Probably a lot more. Wow. What the heck happened??

who is Emo-Beas?
Where does the isometric picture program even save the pictures?
I have removed custom graphics, and reverted to my save from early this morning (Before work) and now my file is down from 30MB to 15MB. It did crash once again but I can't get it to do it again. But I'm keeping an eye on it.
This time I will stay away from the northern ocean.
Edit: No. It still crashes. Could Minutor be doing something? (It's an app that shows every single layer of the current map all the way from top to bottom.)

It's a lighting error. If you change the lighting in there it'll go away.

You don't make a sailboat, just a normal boat and you hold up when in it to move in the direction you are facing.

What the hell are those things floating in the sky?Awakened said:Here's the first structure I've completed on Touch's server. I call it Nova Tower:
I managed to find a cube of 8 diamonds in the mine I created under the tower, but it's not that exciting since you can just spawn diamond tools on that server.
I started a multiplayer server to play with one of my friends, and got stuck in minecraft all day yesterday. Trying to do everything fair and square (minus monsters since they don't work in multi).
Started off and built a simple mine to the bottom of the world to get some minerals:
Then my friend got on and I decided to show off, so I built a giant tower, which eventually became a lighthouse with a beacon on top and a glass observation platform.
meanwhile he built a house with channels to the sea running underneath to let water flow in.
Water dynamics seem weird. Is it just a general multiplayer bug or is my world screwed up?
Then he logged off for the night, and I decided his house needed a pier nearby, so I built one, and then a boat to go with it:
And finally I built a monument to my spawn point (spawn is in the center of the 4 fires) and a giant luigi and ? block.
Taking a break for a while. I need it.

Dig down a stairway so you are five blocks from the base (the top-most level of bedrock comprises the floor). Make a 2x2 corridor for about 20 blocks (for now, you'll expand later) then make 2x2x20 corridors branching out from that central corridor, keeping 3 blocks in between each one. You can and will find every possibly type of ore doing this method and it's the best way to find diamond, I'm told. You can then build subsequent levels above ( just go up four blocks on your stairs and start a new corridor).Blizzard said:
Search for it on YouTube if my description is too hard to visualise.
Edit - I should add, always keep stone mapped to 1, or whichever is the button easiest to hit in a panic for you. You will run into lava frequently and need to be able to quickly plug the leak.
Alright, I lied - I didn't take a break (just one more block this time, I swear)
I decided to complete the ? block. It's complete with the block face on all 4 sides.
I think I might grow some mushrooms inside, and I'm trying to design a giant 3-D mushroom to pop out of the top of it now.

So it seems my problems yesterday were caused by yesterday's quick update to HyperDock. Which upgraded to 0.9.8 yesterday afternoon, when my problems started, and updated again with an apology to 0.9.9 about system stability problems that were caused by yesterdays update. I restored my "buggy" World 1 to World 2 and am running it with no problems. So it was either HyperDock, or it was something else, but it SEEMS to be working fine now.
I'm still exploring to test it out, but so far no problems. Knock on wood. I'd hate for the game to be ruined by silly crashing bugs.
Also, nights take way too long. *sigh*
You know what would be nice is if you could attach a torch/lantern to a boat and minecart. But it would also be nice if you could carry one too. So I am guessing there are current limitations with how light is calculated in the current game. It's probably pre-calculated as opposed to dynamic. Like how the original Quake was where lights were calculated into the map lumps during level building before computers were fast enough to do the calculations in real-time. So if you opened a door, the light wouldn't be able to flow into the room because it wasn't pre-calculated to do that. So the light stops where the door was.
Hopefully Notch is working on this and it's possible. Would be really nice to have moving light sources.
Also, is there a way to put a boat or minecart back in your inventory?

Sucks because it seems you should be able to pick up something you put down with few exceptions. I mean you start with the boat in your hands, would be nice to put it back in your hands like you can with workbenches. Wish I could carry furnaces and chests again too but what are you gonna do?Rufus said:
