I haven't played Minecraft since 1.8 came out, but wouldn't a sky trap work by killing the Endermen with fall damage?

EDIT: nevermind

I have a certificate saying I beat an Enderdragon.

I beat an Enderdragon.

It's a dragon.
But really, it's more of an unexciting and tedious fight than otherwise.

Micman27 · Post by **Micman27** » Mon Nov 14, 2011 4:19 pm

Besides, the credits are about 8 minutes long.

Also, Minecraft RC2 rocks.

Finally I have Minecraft. Having seeing the preview video showing the new features for 1.8, I was looking forward to using creative mode most of the time. I'll be recreating stuff from that list I made in this topic and sharing them through pictures and videos.

It is possible to make an efficient Enderman trap search "Docm77 Bird Cage" in youtube, I'd post a link but I don't have time.

EDIT: Ok wow I didn't even realize I had posted this before

It is also quite simple to make an air trap/underground trap.

Air Trap - best works on survival maps in the sky worst works in normal maps, possible to fix by lighting up caves

Requirements: Around 15 stacks of any building material.

Advantages: isn't that hard to build
Disadvantages: doesnt really work in normal maps, requires alot of mining

1. Make a GIGANTIC tower in the sky. All the way to the top, it might take 62 Dirt. (im using dirt through this, although in survival maps in the sky you need cobblestone)

2. Dig down (4 for enderman trap, 3 for no-enderman trap) blocks.

3. Build a 13x13 platform to any direction of the tower. When you are done, get back on your tower and jump to the highest part again.

4. Build a roof over your 13x13 platform. Also place torches on top of it. BUT NOT NEAR THE EDGES!

5. Go back down inside your 13x13 platform. It should be dark inside.

6. Build walls. It should now look like a giant box in the sky.

7. Put a 2x2 hole in the center of your box.

8. Go back down, using your tower.

9. Enjoy your mob trap!

FAQ

Q: My mob trap isn't working on my world!
A: Light up all nearby caves. You might get only 1 skeleton every MC week if you don't do this.

Q: I see mobs on my box!
A: You didn't place torches on it.

Q: Mobs can fall, but they don't die!
A: You might have not placed the trap high enough. If you did, and they STILL don't die, start doing a diggy diggy underneath the spot where they drop.

Q: I see holes in my trap!
A: That's the disadvantage of the enderman trap.

Underground Trap - almost impossible to make in a air survival map, hard to make in a normal map

Requirements: 3 diamond pickaxes 2 diamond shovels 2 buckets of water 2 buckets of lava alot of pressure plates (wooden works best) 2 ladders 1 sand 1 cacti

Advantages: You earn more items then a sky trap.
Disadvantages: Takes alot of time, almost DOESN'T work with endermen

1. Dig deep. Get on layer 42 or somewhere between layer 60-20. To find out what layer you are on, hit F3 and look at your Y. TIP: diamonds/redstone below 16, iron/gold under 3 blocks below sealevel (i think 61)

2. Now, with alot of Diamond Pickaxes, mine out a 5x5 area. Inside it, mine a 2x2 area.

3. Mine a 2x2 hole in the 2x2 area.

4. With your buckets of water, put water on each corner in the 2x2 hole.

5. You have a compact water generator! Fill up the buckets.

6. Dig out a long tunnel 22 blocks., 6 blocks in, make stairs up, Then, 8 blocks in, stair, and another 8 blocks.

7. Now, in your 5x5 room, dig another 2x2 hole.

8. Now, lead your 2x2 hole into a 8x2 hole in the direction of your stairs.

9. Put water at the end of your 8x2 hole. This is a canal.

10. Make another canal. 1 block higher than the last.

11. Repeat step 10.

12. To build a lava grinder, put 2 ladders above a spot where the 2nd canal goes.

13. Dig 3 blocks in above the ladders.

14. Put lava on each end. CAUTION!

15. The last block of lava should land on the ladder.

16. A grinder is made! Now, to make it so spiders do not clog. Just mine up a block in the wall, mine 1 block down, in the mini hole in the wall, put sand. Then put cacti on top of it.

17. HARDEST PART! Mine a 50x50 room, put canals in it, and to make it so all canals are leveled, put pressure plates between each one. Also, the canals must be 2 blocks down in the spawning room.

18. It should work if you understand.

FAQ

Q: Why not use other picks?
A: Diamond picks last about 2 or 3 iron picks, an iron pick lasts about 5 stone picks, a stone pick lasts about 2 wooden picks, and a gold pick lasts about half of 1 wooden pick.

Q: I cannot place the cactus!
A: Cactus must be on sand, cannot be placed around blocks. Also, make sure the water flow is flowing away from the cactus.

Q: I don't want to make a 50x50 mob trap!
A: You can make smaller ones, such as 21x21.

Q: I STILL don't wanna mine that!
A: Mine it anyways, and you can use the left over cobblestone to build an air trap.

Q: I STILL don't wanna build an air trap!
A: Then why did you want to make one in the first place?

Q: I can't seem to find diamonds!
A: Goto www.minecraftwiki.net to find mining techniques.

Q: I cannot find diamonds at all!
A: Go very deep.

Q: I cannot find diamonds at bedrock!
A: Diamonds spawn lower at bedrock. The highest block of bedrock is layer 4. Diamonds spawn at layer 16-0, Diamonds spawn lower at 10 and lower.

If this has helped, then please give feedback.

Minecraft released today!
I beat it in Creative mode. The ending is pretty deep.

Maybe you are right. You beat an Enderdragon and you earn over 50 levels, and worthless credits.

Have you guys seen what's happened recently between Notch and the Yogscast? Here are some tweets from Notch:

Wow. Hate, insults and threats are flooding in from Yogscast fans. I'll stop biting my tongue now.
Yogscast repeatedly insulted people, talked behind their backs, refused to cooperate, and acted like total spoiled divas nonstop.
They called us "a bunch of nerds who don't know how to run a company", demanded that we pay them to come here (nobody else got paid).
And they claim they're the reason minecraft is big and that we should thank them more than anyone else in the community. They're total *censored*.
A kid wanted them to sign something I had signed, and they said they'd cross it out and put "censored" there instead.
Everyone else in the Minecraft community is all about respecting and caring. They're not. They're an isolated island of egos.
(These are actually by Notch, if any of you follow him on Twitter you can see these.)

My personal view with this is that it MIGHT just be a gigantic troll between the guys. I might be wrong though. If so, I still believe tweeting this to the world wasn't the best idea, cause now there's just hating from both "sides".

In the end, I just hope they get along. I like both of these guys and I'm not taking "sides".

Sorry if this is of no importance to any of you, just wanted to inform. Just hope the drama this caused ends soon.

Oh, I saw that too, that's the problem with some games with huge communities, there's always the group with huge egos. There needs to be a bit more peace and harmony, and maybe some rhythm. *Junior Melchkinned*

Lolololol

Very true. There's just too many opinions and that will only cause it to get worse, sadly.

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Tue Nov 22, 2011 1:15 am

I'm 90% positive that the Yogscast are trolling. I really don't think they're stupid and arrogant enough to try to claim Minecraft's popularity. I've watched some of their videos before and they seemed pretty nice.

One reason (and a good one at that) that I'm leaning slightly on the Yogscast side, even though I said I'm not taking sides. I just don't really think the Yogscast would write *censored* on something they were to give to a kid.

Sammy_P · Post by **Sammy_P** » Tue Nov 22, 2011 1:41 am

i heard that a 6-year old was at the yogscast panel and that kids mom said she'd sue cuz simon said a bad wurd.

Yeah, this whole thing seems a bit odd, the Yogscast does swear, but they seem pretty nice, I wouldn't expect them to do that.

TheThaumaturge · Post by **TheThaumaturge** » Tue Nov 22, 2011 2:56 am

I smell conspiracy. The Yogscast and Notch MIGHT just be laughing at this right now. It actually shows how people can get really upset with something that just isn't their own business.

StinkerSquad01 · Post by **StinkerSquad01** » Tue Nov 22, 2011 3:04 am

If true, I hope the Yogscast realizes they just sacrificed a decent amount of subscribers to their YouTube channel.

maxnick · Post by **maxnick** » Tue Nov 22, 2011 3:20 am

I think this all might be a hoax, and that the Yogscast do seem nice, however you never know how someone acts off-camera. But yeah, I'm not trying to take sides here.

boywhoflies wrote:Great. Is swearing ilegal now or something? D:

Well crossing off someones signature and writing "f--- you" on a little kids paper is generally frowned upon.

"Notch mentions that if he woke up in his body, he'd troll people.
He also says that he'd tweet about going on vacation.

He tweeted about going on vacation. He's trolling."

^Dis. I'm a deep believer of peaceful solutions, so before I pick sides, I'm staying with this.

Wait, whose body? I don't understand that part.

@BWF Generally, swearing is highly frowned upon. Why, do you enjoy swearing?
