So... I had the perfect little xp-grinding/mining base. It was built around a skeleton spawner that I was so lucky to find. This morning before I left for class I was out there and I set up a nether portal that had quartz on the other side (it's far, to say the least). I logged in this evening to go mining for some more quartz and as soon as I stepped into my cave I saw that the entire place is full of lava. It is completely surrounding the nether portal I had built. I set down dirt blocks to cover it and try to get to my storage chests but they were gone. My enchanting room was destroyed too. I went into my skeleton spawner area and even though there was no lava in there, the spawning block was gone. That makes no sense to me. Then I accidentally mined through a block that was holding back lava and I died, losing everything I was carrying including quartz, my silk touch pick-axe, and the circle stone that I had found in temples on my way to the cave. So all in all a pretty major loss. I have seen zombie pig men get through portals but I have never heard of lava getting through, and that doesn't explain why the skeleton spawner is gone as well. Any idea what could have happened? I don't mean to whine, I'm just trying really hard not to be disappointed and I am really confused by this.
Oh my goodness Alex thank you so much! I promise to be careful with this and put it to good use. If there is ever anything I can do to help you please let me know.
Please start a private conversation with me. Include the server info and coordinates of the briefed base and I'll look into it for you.
I mentioned this to Margaritte but I figured I'd let others know what happened. This morning my roommate confessed that he saw my minecraft program running (I was really in a hurry to get to class and I forgot to close it) and he thought it would be funny to mess with me. He griefed my base using my own character. I feel sick at the thought of my character being used for this but I am furious at myself for forgetting to close the minecraft program when I left. I will never forget to do so ever again. I feel stupid for thinking lava could come through a portal but really, the place was so far out in the middle of nowhere that I couldn't think of any other possible explanation. Since it was my fault for leaving the program running, I feel that I do not deserve the kindness that was shown me by Alex. If you would like it back, I totally understand. I deserve what happened to me and I will never be so careless in the future.
>:I Your roommate is a very rude person. Why would he do such a thing? Had it been me, he'd probably have gotten a punch in the nose. Sorry to hear about it .
Well, the computer is passworded and I changed my minecraft password just to be sure. This is not going to happen again. I agree about your assessment of my roommate. He's a creeper...
The best way to resolve this issue is to start sticking some of your more private body parts into your roommates food and drink, taking a picture every time. Several months down the line, present him with a portfolio of your actions.
Well, food tampering isn't really my style, I tend to be more direct but there will be repercussions for his actions, in addition to the rage that happened when I found out.
