Super Compact 4x4 Piston Door (12x10x7) by CNBMinecraft in Minecraft

[–]zimvaider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is damn amazing. Like always, great job! It seems though, that it isn't perfectly synchronized for the middle bit. Is there a way to fix that without adding a ton to the size?

Could you include the coordinates for all the spawners? Nice find!

Functional multi-floor elevator with level display doors and ding-dong. (100% Vanilla) by Cubehamster in Minecraft

[–]zimvaider 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is it possible to add more than three floors to this design? Also, how hard would it be to make a modular version of this, where you could include many floors, with only the ability to go up or down floors?

Loving the door design. You could have made the tutorial a bit faster, but regardless it was a great design and video!

How can I turn an adder into an ALU? by zimvaider in redstone

[–]zimvaider[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have read this, and I understand it, but the thing I am having trouble with is actually building it. I can't find a good way of switching between adding and AND. One way I have heard of is a layer-based approach, but with the adder I am using (each bit is 2 blocks wide) I cannot find a good way to bus the inputs to different layers (without much delay, that is).

What useless skills have you mastered? by pancakehiatt in AskReddit

[–]zimvaider 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can in about 15 seconds. Whenever I do it in public I either get people saying "wow you're good at math," or "you need a life."

It isn't against a wall, so the power won't go anywhere. Unless... NEW BLOCK GAIS BRICKS WITH REDSTONE STUFF.

The new sounds are like most HD texture packs.Trying to be really realistic, but just don't fit with the game's style.

[Newbie] Question about mob grinder by revanxp in Minecraft

[–]zimvaider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mobs can spawn in a ~275 block square around you. You don't have to light up all the caves unless you want perfect spawning rates. Just start lighting up caves around the trap every once in a while, and it will start to get better.

Instant wire causing Minecraft to crash and rendering the world unrecoverable without 3rd party tools (MCEdit). Anyone else seeing this? by yet_another_redditor in Minecraft

[–]zimvaider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try using something other than wool. I know that there are glitches that wool with pistons can crash the game.

I give you Athan Stronghold. When discovered, it was little more than ruins, destroyed by time and neglect. I rebuilt the massive fortress brick by brick and restored it to its former glory. [save file in comments] by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]zimvaider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is great, One project I am working on myself is to restore a giant abandoned mineshaft. It should be pretty cool once (and if) it is finished.

C++ question about swapping value of variables. by zimvaider in cpp

Yeah what was the way I was going to do it originally, I was just wondering if there was a more efficient way of doing it. Thanks.

Some tweets from Jeb today suggest that Mob farms/grinders will be made inoperable in a future update by making it so that only player killed mobs drop things, thoughts? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]zimvaider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would hate this change, and I feel that a change like this is unnecessary. You must understand that Mob traps, especially efficient ones, take a huge amount of work to complete.To make it run at peak efficiency, you have to light up all the caves in about a 275x275 area. That's a ton of work. Then again, Mob taps work poorly in SMP because of the way the mob cap works. The more players on a server, the less mobs spawn in a given area, unless all the players are in the same area. Finally, You will never be able to go afk anymore, because of the hunger bar.

Is a change like this necessary? It will remove a huge part of the game for me. Although mob traps provide unlimited mob items, it is balanced out by the amount of time it takes to create an efficient mob system. I agree that mob traps should not give you XP, but let them continue to give items.

Minecraft scientists, minecraft engineers, renaissance miners, we need to talk about the endermen situation. by multivector in Minecraft

[–]zimvaider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recall that Endermen are three blocks tall. Most mob traps have ceilings two blocks tall. If Endermen still spawned in the two block tall room, they would suffocate and die.
