Well, I was real curious, so I did the following:
1) added SPC (to facilitate quickly making things) to pack.
2) created new world.
3) lit up area like I normally would (with spawned in torches)
4) made a normal lit wall around area like I would normally, lit torches, wall around it.
5) made an outer perimeter. Using SPC, quickly made wall and also lined floor sparingly with glowstone glass, but blocking all F7 yellow lines (thus, no yellow lines from F7 at all) in large outer perimeter.
6) NEI'd it to midnight constantly.
7) survival mode, walked around inside perimeter, realized spiders would come over wall, spawned in armor/weapons, killed said spiders, repeat. Did this for about 15 minutes. IN that time, I had 2 incursions that couldn't be explained. 1 zombie and 1 giant skel. ok. I need a better test.
8) made a large elevator spiral on top of middle of base, zoomed up, survival mode, rotated around looking at area and mob radar.
I saw 2 - 3 instances of mobs just poofing into existance right in the middle of areas lit by the glowstone glass. skels, zombies. creepers walking the walls from who knows were. They were always in the area outside the inside perimeter but inside the outer perimeter (???) the area I used glowstone glass.
If I saw mass migration and a horde of monsters appearing inside the walls, that would make me feel alot better, since it would mean that it's working or not working 100% but this? It seems so random. don't understand it. One of the poofing areas, I looked at it with a fine tooth comb but since I used SPC, I know it was done uniformly and completely, no human error.
I guess I can try using other blocks, but this seems pretty disconcerting to me. If I understood the why, even if there's a thing in father toasts code that says (after x # of attempts to spawn in, if you can't get near player, cheat), then yeah, at least I'd know that much.
I guess this means you all should be a bit concerned about incursions, even if you think you have it lit up. Or, stick to torches unless those are also subject to this issue. I would have to place all those torches by hand and not use spc, so I don't think I'll be testing that out, but yeah. ppl, consider yourself warned.[DOUBLEPOST=1408157505][/DOUBLEPOST]
So, uh, Direwolf20 might be doing a series on my pack. Which is both a real honor...and potentially hilarious. I mean, I based a lot of my "break the way you usually think" SPECIFICALLY off some of his videos. And he doesn't handle combat real well.
Oh dear.
On the plus side, that does mean Crash Landing would get exposed to roughly the ENTIRE internet. Um. Again, oh dear. Looks like I need to get back to work.
1) no void to fall into
2) probably won't play with pahimar
3) ummmmm no void to fall into?
he'll do fine.
