Minecraft Megathread; yeah its update 1.12 big whoop what about it

[Jacob/Lee]

All my chest stuff and my minecart is gone. I can run so fast I could break the sound barrier.

I don't like it.

So after frequently getting lost in the natural tunnels I colonized and mined out, I decided a better idea would be to (instead of building stairs down into the ground) make a 3x3 shaft leading straight downward in a mountainside entrance. I could go up and down via ladders and finding natural caves was easy. The further down I got, the more minerals I would find.

This was working pretty well. I had a nice little settlement built up on an island a ways out to sea. The settlement connected to the mainland (and the mine) by a well lit bridge, which was protected from wandering monsters with a gate. It even had a neat little mine cart track running along side it. I was pretty proud of what I made. That is until I realized infdev wasn't actually bottomless.

As I was expanding the shaft, I started to hit bedrock. I clearly couldn't mine it, so I dug the stone around it.

And thus, Ghoul came plummeting down into a blue abyss, through the crust itself, his assload of iron and expensive tools with him.

Never to be seen again...

[Captain Crazy]

Anyone wanna host?

[Private McDoggy]

Why did I lose all my stuff in my chests and my progress?

[Fizzles]

Does anyone else get random lag spikes in indfdev?
It's not my computer, and probably not my connection.

This update fixed it for me. :o

gotta love when that happens.

on a related note I made a waterslide that goes through the bottom of the map :D

Saves are horribly broken. Whatever chunk of land you respawn in reverts back to a much later date. I lost so much minecart track. What the stuff.

Wait, respawn? As-in, you died and respawned?

[Dr.Block]

Yes. Same thing happened when I saved, quit, and reloaded.

[No2mad2]

None of that not-saving stuff happened to me. :o I think I'm just going to not play until he fixes it.

[Irishbandit]

This not saving thing allowed me to get like tons of iron and buckets and coal and ladders

I think of it as collateral for the broken update.

[Dr.Block]

Same with me, until I lost a ton of track. Ironically, I got most of that track by exploiting the same problem.

[Albatross]

Get in one minecart, get in another, get out, you will have super speed. :D

And, if I'm not wrong, while you have superspeed shoot an arrow into the wall and pick it up and you get 2. :D

[Private McDoggy]

Don't break your mine cart while you are in it
