RZ1029 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Minecrafters! I have need of assistance... So, do I have your attention yet? I have a question regarding a mob trap. Current, as it stands, it runs from bedrock to 30 blocks up. From there, there are three levels that channel the mobs down to a set of redstone-wired doors. Those doors can be toggled open or close from the floor. Each layer is 15x15x2, with water channels to feed to the holes. I'd say a 5th of the area is lost to the channels, but that still leaves 540 blocks for mobs to spawn. Most everywhere outside the trap is lit with torches, I've got a subterranean diamond mine lit to increase the likelihood of them spawning in the trap... but it just doesn't seem to be working. I get about a dozen or so mobs, then it slows to almost a stop, and then a few trickle out 1 or 2 at at time, minutes apart. Any suggestions for fixing/modifying? Or any other recommendations for a replacement? Edited December 13, 2010 by RZ1029 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where exactly mobs spawn is also kinda random, so your best bet for any device is to make use of caves which have a fairly high mob density.

ub3rman123 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Woah.. Take a look at what my game looks like now..http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af356/ub3rman123/MC1.jpg?t=1292469143 I installed Misa's 4x Realistic Textures and Ambient Occlusion (Which includes a better grass module for realistically grassed hills). Looks better than modern games that were designed with graphics in mind. Lags a bit, but not too noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZ1029 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Pretty nice there, is it any worse on resources? I don't know much about Minecraft mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Pretty nice there, is it any worse on resources? I don't know much about Minecraft mods. I got a loss of about 5 FPS, but not too noticeable on my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZ1029 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Not bad, not bad. I might download that. Any other mods you recommend? I've been sneaking around the Minecraft forums and have seen some pretty cool stuff, from bridges and elevators to unicorns and dragons. Also, as a note: my previous issue with my mob trap has been resolved, I built it up an extra three stories and fixed a water flow issue I didn't realize I had and it has resolved all issues with spawning!

ub3rman123 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 According to the site, the game is going Beta on the 20th. If you haven't bought it yet, I'd suggest buying it now, because the price will double and according to the blog, those who buy it in Beta won't get the later updates for free.

TheTerminator2004 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 The Fancy Pack looks like a very good mod. I haven't tried it yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I use Misa's HD texture pack with Wild Grass and it looks really awesome, no links as I'm too lazy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
