Gotta say, it was also kind of interesting sorting things out on an MP map without any 'goodies' bestowed upon me by the mods. Definitely made planning and exploring more interesting and more rewarding to not be walking around fresh ground with a full diamond setup.
wow...thats super efficent. The last one I made took bloody ages. Think i'll make one of these, see how good they are. might do it underground though......for fun. :P
Its been a very long time since I built the trap that churns stuff out on my own server but I was thinking about it just now and I think I know why the one in the video was built in the air. I dont know the specifics but say X mobs spawn within Y square units of any given players location. I think air space some how positively contributes to the amount of mobs that can spawn, but they only spawn on the avaliable space (ie in your trap).
I know the trap design that I used was a very ugly 75x75 square that was like 40 some square in the air, about 10 high with channels all leading to the middle that actually managed to drown everything (including spiders) before they got down into my bases collection spot (which was actually about 20 or more units under the ground).
Maybe we could clear out and light up some space around the trap? Haha sounds awful but might work.
Yeah. I think the trap was quite small and the mobs werent being forced to the centre. But I also suspect the original video was made in an earlier build. When Mobs spawned alot.
I'm currently excavating the pit and making it alot bigger but i'll be using the old floors technique and water flows at sides. I'll be funneling it all into the same small cactus trap hopefully.
J6 is also overseeing an "on surface" trap. So we'll be able to compare spawning rate but both traps will be quite different anyway, i think.
Here's an update from the MC facebook page. Seems notch was test a 512 hieght level generator...Looks friggin EPIC!
Wonder what the extra bits on the HUD are, chicken wings? and the little bar below that looks like its for something.
Yeah I got bored of it already But it'll grab me again, it always does.
edit: So I was looking around and exploring and somehow remembered there's a map in the game so I made one and started exploring / charting further than I've gone before. There's some nice places and it varies, lots of ice regions, mountain, flat etc
Oh and I came across a fantastic glass house on a huge mountain. The view was awesome. Logged off inside it as I got work to do so may surprise the owner when I log back on. I look forward to being able to put maps on your wall.
managed to get back on, but my base had been blown up luckily my chest, furnace and crafting bench remained- looked like several creepers had an orgy round there

With thanks to joshzaite for helping with cleaning up the final stages the other night.
Sadly the monsters didn't spawn that frequently not fall into the pit trap often enough.

edit: Oh and if the Polycount server adopts the hunger mechanic then I'm going on a hunger strike
Also, if he implements that new height limit, it'll be awesome... but he damn well better implement parachutes too!
cheers chaps.
