In my opinion, those things + Invedit make MineCraft less fun. I find that once you get everything you want, there's nothing to explore since you get just get those stuff, all you do is build. I love building and exploring at the same time because you need to explore and mine to get those stuff, and imo, It's pretty fun.
Like I pointed out. I have to activate each thing via typing like a server admin/mod would have to. Hence I like it. Plus it makes minecraft run better since you delete META-INF which contains junk.
Plus I can do this:
2 worlds : Free build with all mods I want on
3 Worlds : No mods on minus "Mo' Monsters" (So makes it harder).
So it doesn't actually make it easier sometimes. Hell I accidently made it so GHASTS spawned in the normal world. THAT was fun.
Yep. Even though I play on peaceful, I still don't even think of using an inventory editor. At that point it's just a glorified version of creative mode, which I found to be incredibly dull.
I see your point, though sometimes I've come across the perdament of finding Obsidion REAL early on (I found a huge expansive cavern with a natural Obsidion farm with around 80 bricks) but I COULD NOT find any diamond what so ever. Hence I deleted the world in pure annoyance.
Each to their own.
On topic:
My mod is outdated (Trollololol) so having to wait for an update before I can actually run Minecraft. I will then start work on my Light + Dark sky castles I made on an earlier file but were lost during a reformat of my laptop.
Essentially:
The castles are built in the air, so large floating islands in the sky.
one is made in the Nether
The other in the real world.
NOT SO AMAZING?
The One in the normal world will have Netherack ground, Lavafalls (This'll be over the ocean HOPEFULLY to stop problems) and will have a bridge up to it. The castle itself will be made of Obsidion. I have not YET drawn up plans but I will be doing some either tonight or tommorow)
The one in the Nether will be the complete opposite of the one in the normal world.
It will be on a floating island made of normal dirt and will have water flowing off it and a bridge leading up to it from the ground. I have not YET decided wtf to make the castle from. I might either go with the following:
Lightstone (Given its 'a castle of light') - Problems : Easy to break when attacked by Ghasts
Diamond (but probably not given I want some originality)
Cobblestone/Mossy cobblestone (To make it look more 'normal')
I might put this up to a vote on a seperate thread at some point. But yeah for now can I have some feedback + Ideas?
BTW~ Please DO NOT start having a go at me using Mods for this. I cannot be asked to go looking for the materials normally, doesn't make me bad just heavily lazy which I am.
but yea? Any ideas/Suggestions? Since I love feedback.
