Also, Beeswax functions as a replacement for cactus green when making Pipe Sealant. So you can replace it without access to deserts. But you are much better off with the fluiducts.
Beeswax ? With the Bees mod right ? Planned to dig it since Ultimate. Plus with the wasps in the Nether with Biome'o'Plenty's generation makes me want to build an army to counter them.
About this : what is Honey in the Nether is useful for ?
Pssh. I like my lunches much more than my deserts.
I was once on a server in Direwolf20 1.4.7 where an induction smelter was the first machine I made after a vanilla furnace. I used it to double my ores, and I was right next to a desert, so sand wasn't an issue. Cheaper than a Pulverizer and Powered Furnace together, and has most of the same functionality.
Yes, but I got sand in limited quantity and I gotta walk a good 100 blocks to get some. I made a pulverizer to don't go. As I am a compulsive miner, I got sand in unlimited quantities now.
I've always had this problem with my 1.6.4 worlds. Did it get laggy, say, near night-time or not much longer after dark ?
My theory is zombies invade, then the villagers turn into zombie villagers, and it's the zombie villager code that has a horrible bug in it. My rule : never, ever let a village get invaded by zombies.
I always either leave the village chunk well before dark or protect it like mad.
It becomes laggy for me too after a good hour or two of playing. I don't share this theory because it happens since the 1.5, in Unleashed pack.
However : I poped in the world, found a house, lived in it for like 2 Minecraft days and villagers were all gone. So I decided to rebuild my base using the village's resources. It look hella good now.
