    Oh wow, I always assumed you'd have to craft it up first. But I guess you don't.

    I don't think the quicksand is that big of a deal. Using it does get you an advantage, but not a huge one. The coal is very handy, but assuming you want to build the farm under ground to preserve space in your base it takes quite a while to build. And, to my own disappointment, the mob drops...

    tl;dr: The best strategy to enchant armor with an auto enchanter is to first enchant it level 30 and then a ton of automated level 1 enchants. I was messing around with this in creative and I found that enchanting something multiple times takes exponentially more work for each enchantment. Then...

    I think I have the best way to get power from a tree farm: Steam dynamo, weather collector with portable tank as a buffer, and a sawmill. It's cheaper material-wise than a set-up using coal and multiple survivalist generators. And the faster furnace generator is just too inefficient to be any...

    I don't mind building a food machine, I find it more annoying that you have to do boring nether mining trips to do so. When you do the nether mining levels you come up with a lot of metal, but just not enough for everything you'll want to build at this point. Especially iron and copper. IMO it...

    Aren't you using redstone ores for cinnabar (for ore multiplication)? Because if you aren't you really should, and then you'd be swimming in redstone anyway. I didn't know about it at first when I played through the nether ore phase and I deeply regret not collecting every single Nether Redstone...

    This discussion made me wonder about other mobs that you can spawn purposely and how you could use them. The result is a lobber farm. It's just a 5x5 plane of quicksand with a source block of lava on top. Then a bucket of water, a hopper, and a chest for item collection. I let it run for a bit...

    Ah Thanks, this helps a lot. I tried making a new pick, it still takes more than 2000 xp. But an enderman head should work! And I guess then I'll see how much the later levels take. Cheating kinda ruins the magic for me, so I'd rather avoid that.

    This boost XP is really getting silly. It took me quite a while to find Ardite in the nether, so when I got an ore I instantly went to the dream world. When I then finally got my pickaxe into the dream world I had already found and marked some deep iron and infuscolion. Couldn't mine it though...

    Thanks for all your answers. This will save me quite a bit of time. I'm so addicted to this pack right now >.<

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    I am in the dream world and I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. I got all the ingredients for flowing spirit except the fanciful thread. Now my plan is to dig around on level 4-8 for two diamonds (same as normal world oregen) so I can build the kettle and the spinwheel. Then I'd need a high...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Okay, thanks guys. In that case I'll keep digging around. And once I have good nether-metal armor I'll go hunt some ghasts.

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Are there oregen spreadsheets out there for the nether and the other worlds? I've been digging around quite a while but I can't seem to find any Shadow Iron. Probably just bad luck, but it'd be helpful. Also, at what point is it realistic to run around exploring the nether? I'm getting wrecked...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Hmm, thanks, I'll see if it works that way. In the mean time I decided to just strip mine around the gas caves and I got my two diamonds for and enchanting table.

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Ah thanks, I didn't know about any of that. Still doesn't work though:/ I simply put the collector on the ground (right clicking on the ground below) and then put the tank on top of it. It gathers a tiny bit of gas and then stops. I waited for a few minutes with this set-up, but no additional...
