[Electrk]

Eh, more like Minecraft in the Commodore 64 days (80's i think?). 92 is when Doom came out and it looks much better.

doom came out in december 1993, close to 1994

Minecraft.net went down earlier today. It's back up now.

The forum is managed by Curse, and it has been having major issues lately. Told someone who was a Minecraft Wiki admin, he asked the guy who manages the forum, and he confirmed it is going badly. Not only that, the starfishs who took over Minecraft Wiki decided to migrate it to their group wiki site, and in that broke so many things.

Edit: I finally realized what cauldrons can be used for (besides leather armor and water bottles). Back when they added Zombie Pigmen spawning from portals, they also added the feature that cauldrons slowly fill with water during rain when exposed to it. Then in The Redstone Update, they made Cauldrons output a signal relative to how full they are. Perhaps they could be used as manual-reset rain timers for some kind of hostile darkness mob farm?

Edit: Yep. As someone else mentioned, cauldrons don't block update when rain fills them, so comparators don't update. You need to manually update them.

I just had a great idea. What if Mojang added Iron and Diamond Apples? Iron Apples can give players a temporary speed boost, while Diamond Apples can give players a permanent Health Boost. Iron nuggets would be required for Iron Apples, and Diamond shards for Diamond Apples [each diamond gives you 3 shards]. I'd like a way to get more hearts in survival mode, and I think this would be a great legitimate way to do so.

[HellHound]

Diamond apples if anything should make you invincible for a while, and unable to get hungry. Iron apples should make you take less damage and get hungry less.

I don't think your teeth are strong enough to bite iron, let alone diamond
