Someone rage quitted.

A creeper spawns inside my tower, right next to a torch.

Minutes earlier a creeper 10 blocks away suddenly exploded by my side.

Creepers are the only mob worth hunting. In melee combat they explode without warning. Couple this with swords doing a bawhair of damage and they're pretty much impossible to kill at close quarters. This makes shooting them with a bow the only possibility. Of course, you need to fire 1000 arrows just for one of them to not bounce back.

See how mobs are adding absolutely NOTHING to SMP just now?

However creepers are the easiest mob to kill with arrows. Skeletons however.....

I've built a border around me and Saurok's area. It's quite long and it took me a couple thousand cobblestone blocks. What you see in these 2 pics is around 40% of the total wall length.

And a close up: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13877155/wall2.jpg.

Once the new map is updated (the oblique angled one) I can show it much better.

Not when it's round the corner of a wall, and all the arrows you fire at it bounce off <_<

So we burned down some trees which where blocking our path on a mountain:

Then, the wind was gusting.

Haha.

I saw your tower burning by the way... (no where near the forest fire).

Yeah, I know. I have no idea what happened. One minute I was jumping up a stack of dirt, the next I was surrounded by flames and taking damage

Nope. I see how they add danger and fear to the wild uncivilized and darker parts of the map. :hehe:

My Painterly does NOT look that good!

» Sat Dec 04, 2010 4:21 pm

I love the fishing mechanic. I can fish from the roof of my seaside shanty at night.

» Sat Dec 04, 2010 7:09 pm

I don't know how to catch a fish. Been trying on multiplayer.

As well as the torchlit inside of my tower. Now ex-tower, thanks to what I assume was the combustion bug.

Cast your rod and then when the floaty thing (I don't know the proper word for it) goes underwater reel it back in and you should get a fish.

The bait.

It never sinks down.
