    Moonstone?

    That sounds quite painful. It's bad enough with the Endermen digging up my lawn as it is.

    ComputerCraft and Monitoring (and some RedNet stuff)

    I know I'm not your parents, but be wary - MineCraft won't teach you much in the way of real-world skills, don't blow off important stuff for it! ;) Anyway, best I can make out, "isAddedToEnergyNet()" returns true if the block is plugged into an electric cable leading to other blocks...

    ComputerCraft and Monitoring (and some RedNet stuff)

    For your MFSU-wrapping loop, you might consider something like this: for a,b in pairs(peripheral.getNames()) do -- Loop through a table that contains names of ALL connected peripherals. if peripheral.getType(b) == "batbox" then -- If a detected peripheral is a batbox, then...

    ComputerCraft and Monitoring (and some RedNet stuff)

    You want a table. Quite similar to arrays: local mfsu = {} -- "mfsu" is now an empty table. for i = 0,9 do mfsu[i+1] = peripheral.wrap("batbox_"..i) end

    So much work wasted...

    I see what he means, though. Very little in MineCraft isn't a waste of time. We get entertainment from convincing ourselves otherwise, working towards goals, and congratulating ourselves / each other when we reach them. But then a mod comes along which pulls aside the curtain and makes it...

    Map viewer and giant red wood trees?

    I planted one near an existing giant redwood thinking they were far enough away that they wouldn't collide. I misjudged, but the new tree still grew.

    Loving Days, Hating Nights.?!

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting people play the whole game underground - while you don't often "need" to come up, you'll eventually "want" to. But by then, you'll've dug up so much cobble that you can defend your position with ease. In my first world, way back in alpha, if it happened to...

    Frankly, why no 1.6?

    I think that the "turtles being broken" comment is more about them being able to do whatever they like, rather then them not working as intended. I've never even considered disabling them myself, so I don't know whether it really IS difficult to place restrictions on them, but I do notice people...

    Loving Days, Hating Nights.?!

    I dunno. I generally start off by punching a few trees, making a stack of torches and stone picks (much easier now we can make charcoal), and then start mining. It then doesn't much matter what time of day it is from that point, as my first "shelter" generally consists of whichever hole in my...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    Portal spawner and wireless redstone. Do what you like with the portal gun as you travel, then activate the portal at home when you want it. Set up a few spawners at different places and assign different wireless channels to them all.

    The 2nd Minecraft (modded) Player Survey with public results!

    Not being able to answer "None of the above" (or provide no answer!) to questions like "Which of the following do you think there needs to be more of?" or "Railcraft or Steve's Carts 2?" really does skew the results in favour of options players would otherwise never pick, invalidating the...

    recycler doesn't accept feeding from months

    Unhinged = Gregtech = Lots of things won't turn into scrap. Cobble, cobble-derivatives and other common items being prime examples.

    Spawning mobs, need help.

    The short answer is no. The long answer is that they only operate when a player is nearby. Spawners from mods may allow you to get around this (depending on the type and version), but there's still the issue that mobs instantly despawn if players aren't around - something the spawners...

    Keep a drone safe (bee)

    If you have a single drone or princess of a species you're interested in, and you don't have any direct access to more, my recommended path is: * Beealyse them first. * Fully inoculate a maximum quality fertility serum. * Breed them with another maximum fertility bee, which it cannot mutate...

    Is it safe to make my base in Mystcraft?

    The file is no more likely to become corrupted then the main overworld file.

    Melee Turtle Programming

    If you're using a permissions-based plugin it may interfere - the code'll run, but the turtle won't attack. PermissionsEx is probably the most common culprit.

    ThaumC 3: Silverwoods

    Or rather, if you're out of range of a node, then the goggles simply tell you about the last node that WAS in range. This can lead to some rather odd readings if dimensional travel or other forms of teleportation are involved.
