It was a fine day on the Empire; I had build a small mining outpost in a cool tunnel / grotto like area, and even discovered a not so abandoned mineshaft which still contained plenty of loot (editorial comment: I got at least 1 stack of diamonds from that place so far). So during a mining session today I suddenly came across a very peculiar sight indeed, a creeper in a rather sticky situation: This called for ACTION but yeah... if I was to leave this area then there'd be a sure chance that the creeper would despawn (get removed by the server). So now what? I may, or may not, have spammed someone's inbox but not that much later a friend of mine came online, I quickly gave her (temporary) access to my storage (/res pset !shelluser ayanamikun container t) and asked her to bring "something" along with her And she did! It was payback time! [22:07:15] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] G ShelLuser: do you know why redstone has a max charge of 15? [22:07:19] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] G • AyanamiKun: huh? [22:07:25] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] G ShelLuser: why you can only use it 15 blocks out? [22:07:28] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] G • AyanamiKun: why? [22:07:36] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] G ShelLuser: because of safe TNT explosions [22:07:40] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] G ShelLuser: hit it And she did Well, if you're ever going to try and impress your friends with some l33t TNT knowledge or such then yeah, this is not the way to do it: This annoying creeper had to DIE for mocking me in front of my friend like that. I shall prevail! Yeah, unfortunately TNT doesn't always trigger the TNT blocks next to it thus I didn't get the mass explosion which I hoped for. Alas, this new 3-way b00m was surely going to finish him off, right? Well... Thanks again for rubbing that one in Aya But in the end the creeper died with a bang. Just not in the way I had hoped he'd die; by creating a whole new cave system ready for some more mining here. SO yeah... If you want to impress your friends then don't rely on chained TNT explosions
Unfortunately we managed to destroy everything in the end It was a spider spawner so not much to gain but XP
I wanted to give back what that creeper tries to give us players all the time A blast Maybe I should /report it next time and ask (senior) staff to push the button
