Minecraft Minecraft 2 - The second server

[Father Jack]

It's got to the point where I can work outside at night with only a very rare interruption by anything resembling a hostile mob.

 

[Chief]

I can walk overland at night and see maybe one or two mobs.

They walk out of a user's view distance (7 blocks) and MC loses them and does not de spawn them.

Oh so it's from your experience. Yes I'm seeing similar. Although plenty came when I was flattening the area near home.

I hope it's a bug they intend to fix.

 

[Mobbs]

Wait, does this mean I can affect the spawn rate by changing my viewing distance? Should I put it up or down? I really don't understand it.

 

[Mobbs]

Ok I reduced my vision distance dramatically and my spawning room has started working.!

So if I reduce my viewing distance I may have a chance to someday actually see a real slime?

 

[Chief]

The server distance is set to 7 blocks. At 10 it would have no issues, but would start to cause a lot of lag and crashes.

 

[DrMike]

Ok so the only real way I've found to consistently get slimeballs is to just hit up swamps every night
I'll get maybe 1 large slime or a couple of little ones but they all add up

Sword with looting enchantment will help you out, shouldn't be too hard to get now there is multiple XP farms on the server.

Also just gave it a quick Google and you can create a chunk based XP slime farm - http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tutorials/Slime_farming
I haven't watched the video but maybe it'll be use if you need slime on the daily.

I've done this on every server I have played on besides this one. They changed the way slimes de spawn down to 32 blocks from player so the farm is not as effective like before 1.8. Plus I can't even seem to find a chunk in 1.8.

Looting sword helps alot. I have
looting 2 and I have 23 slimes after killing 1 big slime.

Yeh on the superflat server I played I made a 3 chunk slime exp farm, it was awesome, ended up with something like 100 doublechests of slimeballs
But there seem to be issues with mob spawning and mob caps at the moment
If I could find a slime chunk somewhere near my base I'd probably build something similar

 

[DrMike]

Ok I have 2 stacks of slimeballs for whoever needed them for the blaze grinder

That was me. Viper.

That would be awesome because I fell in lava and lost 30 sticky pistons and all my enchanted gear last night

 

[Rankor]

I have a chest full of splash potions next to my zombie spawner now for quick killing.

Have enchanting station and brewing station there also.

Feel free to use. Entrance in nether off south station path.

Ah no

I'll dump them in the chest outside your nether portal

 

[Rankor]

Ok the blaze farm is up and running.

Just need a path from south station nether portal up to it. Have sort of started it from farm side.

 

[Chief]

We made a portal at the iron line station but it hooked up with another one. I'll get out there and break it and try again.

Where is this iron line? I may be able to do it for you.

And what is your ign chief?

I think he meant in the grand central station the line that has iron blocks at the entrance / 2 blocks that you launch your cart from.

IGN?

 

[Rankor]

IGN?

In game name. But it's ok just found the list.

Looks good, Mike. I need to get back into Minecraft, have been so busy.

 

[DrMike]

I've got these two set up at full power near the Spider string grinder - Resistance 2, Strength 1, Regen 1

The area needs to be cleared up a bit after my last fight but should make wither killing a bit easier

I've got another ready to fight but need to collect some more iron blocks to add to this pile
