I'm stumped. The note block and the arcane ear are both on identical material (dirt over cobblestone over void). Both are set to Note 7 (I've tried all kinds of numbers). They're obviously within range. I've tried punching the note block and applying a redstone signal - no matter what I do the...

My HP boiler power runs on fuel currently, so I'm continually looking for ways to make more of that resource. I was clicking through the Industrial Centrifuge recipes and found that you can centrifuge 2 oil sands into 1 oil cell - cool! So I did it, then stuck the cells into a liquid...

Somebody may have come up with this already, but it's new to me. The idea is pretty simple: Make pumps overheat if they are pumping lava. Require water cooling. Now that last part is the tricky part, since people are clever. Obviously cans won't work, since that's just another ender chest...

Hello all! I'm an old guy who's pretty new to Minecraft. I'm actually mostly a console gamer to be honest. But I won a copy of Minecraft for Xbox (gasp!) from Raptr and fell in love in about 3 minutes. It's a lot of fun on the console, but I quickly realized I wanted more. I started playing on a...
