Thanks, I’ll go rewatch them. Dunno why but I had put two & two together that gen. building advice still works.

Okay, that pyramid is amazing, and so’s the city.

I’ll see what I can do. For the most part I do need the block I have to stay but I’m thinking on some places I might be able to shave it and I have plenty of space around it to edit outward.

Thanks for the tips!

Yes. Brutalism is unironically my favorite architectural style. Not entirely sure how to translate it to Minecraft but I suppose now’s the time to do it.

Nice! Always love to see some personally engineered redstone contraptions!

If I may offer suggestions:

• You can increase the depth of the pit and line it with trapdoors so they’ll still pathfind in.
• You can use pressure plates for autonomous activation as suggested by other commenters
• If you have or can find some slime making the pistons sticky-pistons and having them move solid blocks should make the mechanism more dangerous to the mobs.

Does the head look like it has a red recolor of the Gamecube Logo to anyone else?

Yeah, that’s fair. I don’t know how militarized your aestetic is but you could try making snowman flamethrower turrets to keep them away from your base.

ETA: Snowballs are entities, entities can be on fire and transfer fire to things they hit. Snow surrounding a snowman with netherrack and lighting it will let it set enemies hit on fire.

Thanks.

It’s been in there quite a while, I always have my ladders missing the bottom-most block so that they can’t climb them. You jump onto the ladder and since mobs can’t jump they can’t follow you.

Pillagers. They add nice variety in being non-creeper always hostile mobs that can exist in daylight.

All the more reason to have primary base on a freighter.

To add to this: Yes, it does feel absolutely awful to lose the world when you die in hardcore.

However, I also find the investment into the admittedly temporary and fragile world to be really rewarding. Doing things has a greater feeling of accomplishment, even if they’re the mundane actions of just staying alive in survival.

Still reeed pretty hard when on my longest-running hardcore I died to piglins while bed-mining because I forgot to bring a backup gold helmet.

Alright, thanks! Might try my hand at manufacturing my own fighter. The Sentinel ship is fine but I’ve taken to styling myself as an enemy of Sentinels.

Hm, now I wonder how a finely tuned fighter compares to a S-Class Sentinel ship in terms of combat ability.

Moderately frustrating but for me it’s part-and-parcel to the early game of NMS. I’m not that fond of the early game but the extrinsic rewards of some of the expeditions are too good to ignore. I look forward to bringing the staff and ship to my main save and hunting a pirate capital ship.

It’s certainly interesting. A friend of mine and I were both gipped by improper understanding of the system. They started Expedition from the menu rather than Anomaly and I loaded up on items that were redundant by the time I could access them. I did send a few tech modules that will have to be going back with whatever goodies I collect or I’ll be upset with myself for not sending them.

IIRC it’s always block 9,9 or one of a small number of predefined block locations within a chunk. Minecraft, like our own brains, cheats a little in making the magic happen.

Okay, now that is cool.

Unfortunately I’ve already got a CompSci degree in progress and couldn’t take the stress of dual-majoring.

Overgrown paths in temperate biomes (ie those with exposed grass/podzol) -Rare lanterns along these trails(maybe also add extinguished/damaged lanterns) Occasional ruined villager buildings (like in the zombie-village structure but stand-alone and potentially half buried) -More likely in biomes where villages don’t spawn (make it seem like they’re sparse failed settlements, subtle world-building that there aren’t villages for that biome)

Ruins. Like zombie villages but no zombies, buildings are partially buried. -Has ruined walls. (subtle worldbuilding that the reason villages don’t have walls is that for reasons unknown villager-made walls don’t work while golems kinda do)

Rare non-wrecked ships. -A few villagers complete with beds and workstations on a ship modeled after the shipwrecks from the aquatic update. I’d say similar rarity to mycelium islands.

This’d be a horrible thing to encounter near your base but as an enemy that only comes from a spawner this’d be fun!
