what should i use then? im new to this whole youtube thing and i needs to educate peeps on how to survive the wild and be a cheapo
Well, I use fraps for my videos. It's the best one for quality wise, etc. When you edit the video and render it though, it makes it much smaller and you can just delete the main ones when done.
Dude that is *really* easy for you to say. I get the feeling you've been playing a while - so have I, but I still remember how incredibly long it took me as a green player to find my first diamonds, let alone craft my first enchantment table and make a library and finally start enchanting... And you just say "It's easy - just use knockback!" What about the poor new players who just want to live in the wild? They're not going to be able to. I've lived out in the wild on smp7 and now smp5 for the best part of a year (it might even be a year now) and I'm still getting the crap kicked out of me by these new mobs (not to mention spending all my time plugging enraged creeper holes and running after my dropped stuff when I could be doing much more interesting things) so a new player is gonna have no chance.
public enchanting tables are everywhere (even in the wild), and diamonds are now a renewable resource so no no money superman no here right now
At the same time, that is part of the entire Minecraft experience...building up to overcome challenges. Think about your first days in MC ever. You had to hide at night and find supplies in the day to match ability enough to fight those mobs. Joining any public server without the knowledge of basic MC skills will yeild the same results. However, they just have to gather supplies, whether it be in town or in the wild during the day, and they'll be fine.
I'm not adjusting spawns due to complaints, its more so because its not really meant to be 'constantly fighting enraged'. Enraged are something your suppose to find every so often. Finding 3 on you at once is a little too much. You'll still be finding them... just not to the point your farming them. Don't worry they won't be as rare as rare spawns haha.
Are enraged mobs supposed to be not affected by the 32-block-sleep-mode-thing? At a mob farm, where there isn't any flushing/pistons/etc., all I seem to get is enraged mobs, and that was the only reason I could think of.
oh im not, my wildbase on smp1 and smp6 has two of different levels the grinder im standing at right now had one and many other grinders i know of have one, if you are genuinely looking for an enchanting table and you arent 3k+ blocks out you can find em easy
And what of not being able to walk five steps in the nether without a pack of hounds after you? I was out with HurferDurfer1 on SMP8 earlier today and we were almost constantly under siege. And mind you, those ****ers are WAY too fast. "Running" is not an option when they are rushing at you faster than a dead sprint WHILE ON SOULSAND. That is excessive any way you slice it. And before you, ICC, or anyone else tells me to get better at the game - We didn't die. We fended them off and killed them, but that does not mean it was enjoyable having to deal with them when we're out there trying to do things besides fight. EDIT: I can attest Tarka is significantly more than 3k out. You're diamond, and can hide, so maybe it's not an issue for you, but for us non-supporter types it's generally a bad idea to build anywhere near that close to an EMC outpost, lest we invite griefing.
If people are saying that new members will find it difficult to accomplish anything in the wilderness with this new update, why don't we make it so that it only applies in the wastelands? No one rage at me, just throwing around ideas.
I actually just found a bug in the code.... atm the logic for "dont spawn too close to a player" is reversed and will only spawn near a player... Also, the "dont spawn when others are nearby" should help with massive seiges.
It's better to adjust them as we go instead of unfairly limiting features from one world. We won't rage at you for the idea, haha. However, to keep it fair for those who are like 23342343 miles out in Frontier, we have to keep them all on every world.
