[masterockets]

How is the game supposed to know?

I think it checks what killed the mob, like how you get a disc if a skele kills a creeper

Mobs already don't give exp if the player didn't kill them.

I have a save with a blaze farm that uses pistons to weaken the blazes until they're 1 hit, then you can finish them off for exp.

jeb_ wanted to clarify that.

But Dinnerbone posted the tweets a few hours ago, as if it was something newly changed.

What does this mean exactly? What did he do to them?

You can get xp from spawners, but when you start farming for xp, the mobs won't drop xp.

I think the game knows which mobs are spawned from spawners and when there are lots of spawns in row it'll disable xp dropping from them for sometime.

He's only screwing the people that like using grinders. It changes nothing for people that don't. That change only succeeded in making the game slightly worse.

Exactly how I feel.

Why is everyone so butthurt over not being able to churn out large amounts of xp?
Just earn it. Go fight something.

Looks like some kind of gold rod with a turd in one end.

World generation might have been changed around a bit, I've seen the Extreme mountains biome reaching above the clouds on vanilla

also I found a loving gigantic island. I'm literally about nine blocks beneath the clouds, and this still isn't the highest part of the island.

His argument of having to work to get resources to make these grinders is ridiculous, I've gotten grinder materials within a collective hour or less of gameplay and making a pit is picking-your-nose simple. The whole idea of clicking a few times and stareing at a screen and call it "work" is loving bullstuff.

And who the forget uses splash potions to kill things? Just dig a deeper pit.

I don't care if people want to make grinders but when they nerf them they shouldn't be upset, the game is about survival, not making animal killing machines to do all your heavy lifting.

I also forgot some of it because reddit keeps crashing my browser.
