I figured I was the only one here playing minecraft. Are you using mods or playing vanilla?

I've been messing around with 1.7.2 since the legacy mods are all still "dev only" for 1.7.10.

If you're into mods, which ones top your "must have" list?

I just run vanilla. I used to play a long time ago where the newest features were the sandstone block and the nether but I've been off it for a while. After a few attempts to explore again, I've found a really interesting spot.

I just run vanilla. I used to play a long time ago where the newest features were the sandstone block and the nether but I've been off it for a while. After a few attempts to explore again, I've found a really interesting spot.

My vanilla world on 1.7.2 is pretty developed. It took me ages to find a village. On one of my excursions, I found a Red Mesa biome and it was amazing.

If you're into automated stuff:

I have a sugar farm that's fully automatic. It has 14 sugar reeds along 2 sides of a water channel. The sugar is chopped off every day at sundown by pistons. The redstone bit is a daylight sensor into a comparator with a weak signal to compare against. The output from the comparator goes into an off-edge pule limiter, which powers the repeaters which drive the pistons. The pistons push any sugar that has grown during the past day into the central water trough, which flows to the front of the building, into a hopper and into a chest. The chest is at ground level in the front center of the building, for easy collection.

The weak signal to the comparator is adjusted so that the pistons fire at the moment that the game allows the sleep mechanic. So it doubles as an alarm to let me know that it's night.

The off-edge pulse limiter is something I found online, but the rest of the build is all me.
