I've got a huge tip. Swat_Raptor has already mentioned it. Actually READ the quests! I put tips like the ones you mentioned in the quests so you can take the shortcuts as they arise. Like everyone else I've had to learn many of the shortcuts by accident, or watching Elder's videos, they're so...

Entertaining video. Thought I'd better mention to your viewers that agro pigmen have been removed from the Nether. I just forgot to send you the updated file. Not sure why you're getting drops from explosions as I had mob griefing turned off to prevent creepers blowing up your skyworld...

Thanks for bringing this up Swat_Raptor. It has been fixed in the new update, so no more extras for you! One of the mods we used was causing this problem and thankfully we managed to fix it without having to actually remove anything. The update is basically ready for uploading, I just need to...

Not to mention those bow carrying zombies, easy to miss seeing them before its too late. At least when the sky platform comes out you won't have to worry about creepers destroying your platform, although its really annoying when a creeper blows up a precious enderman head before you can get to it.

Well I tend to explore on the first day collecting enough wood to make a shelter. I prefer to make a below ground one rather than using a ready made one in a ruin. It actually allows me to venture out at night to lure mobs back to my shelter for easy dispatching as I don't like just sitting...

Glad to hear it. going out that early in the game is really taking a risk as there are some fairly powerful mobs in the 'Special Mobs' pack that your new rapier will struggle to deal with. I've had a lot of experience dealing with the mobs and I still set myself up with a 'sunken' base for the...

There's an old saying that goes something like, 'One man's meat is another man's poison' Its a really old saying hence the gender specific language, but its true. Elder hates getting the fire upgrade whereas I love getting it on the Rapier. It really extends its life by not having to be used as...

I can understand your frustration at dying in unexpected ways. This happens to me too, usually from a creeper that manages to spawn in behind me when I'm in the midst of battle with a number of other mobs. Or those blasted giant zombies, I discovered while testing out the new underground bunker...

Your very welcome cannajan. Since i play the game myself [I'm my biggest fan lol] I often spend ages waiting for one of the ores to complete my collection, so I'm aware of how frustrating it can be. You can thank Zerias for prompting me to think about a workaround for the missing ore. Prior to...

Actually they have a similar chance to get than the others. Its just the luck of the draw. I'm currently testing the savanna for 1.5.0 and am still waiting to get a gold bush grrrr. I'm seriously thinking of making recipes to allow players to swap a couple of surplus other bushes for one they...

Yes I'm afraid when I did that quest and tested it I managed to find wither skeletons and never actually came across the regular black skeletons so was unaware of their existence. I've since discovered like you that mine was an anomaly and the regular black skele's abound and the wither skele's...

Thanks for the heads up. I discovered this myself just the other day when I accidentally used my crook to move a skyberry bush to replant at my skyland base. It goes without saying that I've now removed crooks from the 1.5.0 version and had to change a number of quests that involve silkworms as...

Well cannajan, I've certainly enjoyed testing it out. There is quite a learning curve surviving in that inhospitable Nether in the early stages but it does open up a lot of possible variations to how you play it when you have 2 biomes to swap between. Mind you, I did happen to jag a King Slime...

A lot would depend on what players would prefer to have in their world. I'd tend to go with the Savanna map as horses can eventually spawn in it once a large enough area of grass has been grown. There are also horse spawners randomly scattered around the world for them to find. then there's the...

The worlds in the existing 1.4.3 version have ruins that spawn completely randomly. The only area that is fixed is the immediate area around the spawn point and out to approximately 200 blocks, give or take. When the quest book asks players to go to specific locations, they are location...

Even though the game is designed to be played primarily as a single or dual player game, there's no reason why more players couldn't join in. Although I haven't actually tried it myself, I'm informed that there is no reason why it shouldn't be able to be played on a mms if someone were to host...

I can't remember how I worded the quest but I'm pretty sure it says something about the ancients revering the portal and it being located in one of their temples. Go look for a temple and explore inside it until you find one. there is a barrier with switches that you can find to remove them...

Okay, didn't know that about life steal. Tend to just use whatever upgrades I get along the way. Hasn't been disabled btw. There's nothing I can do about the wither skeletons. The HQM book only offers one wither skeleton as a killing quest and 2 options, exact or type. Its already set to type...

If you're finding ruins in the Nether, its a glitch as there are no ruins in either the generic or hell folders. I deliberately didn't make ruins for the nether because of the lag they can cause. Wither skeletons aren't really affected by the Special mobs mod so they should be as you'd expect...

It all depends on whether you're the type that prefers to dig an underground bunker. The jungle and savanna biomes tend to be more forgiving and allow you to dig down either 2 or 3 levels to get safely below the night mobs. The advantage of the jungle is it rains to provide easier water later in...
