Can we still summon the wither at the end or nether?

Zito · April 04, 2016, 02:55:21 PM

Could you clarify a bit on what you did to the loot drops for excavation please?

Tslat · April 04, 2016, 03:43:55 PM

The Wither is still summonable in both the end, and the nether
The reason I disabled it in the overworld is because of mobGriefing being disabled in the overworld. The wither is supposed to be a tough fight. But with people being able to just block it in any old corridor, it doesn't really turn out to be that hard. A Large part of the wither fight is having to keep up with it and prevent it from destroying things. Since the nether and end both have mob griefing now, they are a more suitable place for the wither to play

I changed and rebalanced the entirety of the treasure system, which includes more than just the excavation
Excavation wasn't changed too much, the main things were probably diamonds dropping ever-so-slightly less, and a few other things dropping slightly more

Zito · April 04, 2016, 03:47:24 PM

Do Diamonds still begin to drop at level 300?

Tslat · April 04, 2016, 03:48:30 PM

Yep

Zito · April 04, 2016, 04:46:43 PM

Awesome, thanks for the info!

can villagers farm in the nether now?

Tslat · April 07, 2016, 01:20:12 AM

I suppose they can

Crazydad543 · April 07, 2016, 02:14:38 AM

But how would u get villagers in the end or nether? They could not breed without a farmer. They would need a crop to farm but u would need water for that. So the nether is definitely ruled out.
So I'm confused. How is villager farming possible?

Tslat · April 07, 2016, 02:42:45 AM

No idea, it was never an intention of mine lol

You just gotta keep re-hoeing it yourself because lack of water?
Crops will grow without water.

I think Cauldrons filled with water might work -- if not, Ice still turns to water in the Nether, right?

Tslat · April 12, 2016, 05:48:03 PM

No, it doesn't

Zito · April 12, 2016, 07:13:24 PM

Unless it has been updated it turns to water and then vanishes.

The Ice, or the water in Cauldrons?

I thought Ice would tu-- ohhh they must've changed that a while back apparently... or maybe that somewhat-useful bug was fixed not too long ago?
And as of one of the 1.9 snapshots the 'spammed water potions-->water source' glitch was fixed...

What of that compressed Ice stuff?
I take it that its not affected by the Nether?

Tslat · April 13, 2016, 04:00:20 PM

It isn't, but ice doesn't irrigate farmland

Zito · April 13, 2016, 04:26:30 PM

Why are we even worried about water in the Nether, you don't need it for crops lol.

Because it helps plants grow... although now that I think about it, some Dispensers and a lot of Bonemeal works just fine — as long as the crops have enough light, that is.

Tslat · April 13, 2016, 04:44:08 PM

The crops will pop out of the ground anyway, without water.

Is that new?

Tslat · April 13, 2016, 06:36:32 PM

Not at all

Zito · April 13, 2016, 07:15:58 PM

They never used to do that.

Tslat · April 13, 2016, 07:22:57 PM

Yeah they did lol
If farmland doesn't get enough water it reverts to dirt and the crops come out
If crops don't get enough light they pop out

Been like that since at least early beta

Zito · April 14, 2016, 04:10:13 AM

I could have sworn it was different. As in, crops would be fine without water as long as something was planted and they had enough light. I could be wrong though.

Tslat · April 14, 2016, 04:15:23 AM

Nope, has always been like that
