I got way too hard into the Minecraft anarchy scene so I've got knowledge that even Minecraft fans find abhorrent.
Setting up bots and automation, using server exploits to hunt for hidden bases, exploiting item duplication glitches, and of course using cheat clients. I've even written a few hacks for a private client my group used to make.
Meanwhile I get blown up by a creeper trying to set up a fence around my cobblestone and dirt house…
haha yeah, same when I play solo without cheats. but it's better to have a creeper blow a hole in your dirt shack than in your carefully designed redstone contraption!
Cats. Cats everywhere. I started playing Minecraft a few months ago. My kid wanted to play it so I decided to try it. Now I’m hooked.
haha yeah it ain't a good base if it doesn't have dozens of pets sitting around. You should show your kid how to tame parrots with seeds, he's gonna love it !
How do people make computers in Minecraft? Something something redstone stuff?
Yes you got it ! By combining redstone elements you can make all the basic logic gates. You combine logic gates to make binary adders, multipliers etc... You can store data as inventories, like for example a chest with 5 slots filled won't give the same signal as a chest with 3 slots filled. And finally you have various elements that can light up when powered so you make displays out of that.
What can you actually all do within the context of the game and its limitations?
Like what beneficial ends can it help achieve?
Oh, it is functionally useless in the context of the game, more of a "because they can" kind of deal.. That is why you'll almost exclusively see that kind of things in Creative mode - it eats up tons of resources for no discernible end.
