    You mine it from redstone ore.

    You can normally find it while caving, or it's down about the same level as iron when mining.

    Just to emphasise that unlike gold and iron, you directly get from redstone dust from mining. There's no intermediate smelting ore==>product step.

    Oh, and you also need at least an iron tool to dig it with - wood and stone picks won't work.

    Fun, travelled by boat for a good bit, stumbled across this, the lava hit the tree on the left, up in flames, then a single block of greenery touching from the right torched that tree. Passed a crop that looks like Runner beans or bamboo, must go back and have a look..

    Great to see where this goes as a product, over the next year or so.

    A load of information on the halloween update:

    http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/10/22/minecraft-halloween-update-preview-meet-the-ghasts/


    Sounds well difficult now.

    Personally i find the torches being exstinguished over time a massive nuisance for somebody who doesn't really play it enough.

    Hopefully the hell realm thing isn't too difficult to get in and out of.

    considering that the portals are made out of obsidian and you need a diamond pickaxe to mine it, it may be a bit of a bollox to getin there in the first place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,173 ✭✭✭D


    Just got into this recently. Love the survival. Creepers keep sneaking up on me. Multiplayer survival with increased difficulty would be great, or even pvp.

    I was afraid of something like that, i don't even know what obsidian is.

    Is there much interest to set up a boards.ie server? Looks like it will be starting at about 8 euros plus a month though for 8 slots...

    if there's interest and people genuinely say they'll donate maybe a couple of us could set one up for a couple months at least... not sure if my home net connection is up to handling one. :D I could buy us a domain to make it easier to type in (lack of copy and paste in minecraft :eek:), but there's no point if only 2 or 3 people are interested. it'd want to be at least full enough that you'd know someone would be there, or at certain times

    You get it where lava and water collide naturally. It's purple stuff. Never actually got a decent enough tool to chop it

    You can actually force grow it too, all you need is a few buckets of lava, some buckets of water and some dirt. There are vids on youtube about it.

    It's something to do with the angle of the water hitting the lava or something.

    Just to add to generalmiaow's post, you can force water towards lava and Obsidian will be created when the two meet..

    You need a Diamond tool to mine it.

    Funny you should say that, I had a feeling it was when two blocks or more collided, I noticed with single block collisions you were more likely to get a block identical to the main 'processed rock'. The water was hitting the lava from above too, I noticed, for the main run..


  • Registered Users Posts: 458 ✭✭hacx


    it's called cobblestone

    So this is the halloween update and stuff?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,026 ✭✭✭Amalgam


    Probably, fairly small update, I'm not close to my 'base', so.. can't test the Obsidian blocks or the fishing rod yet..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,132 ✭✭✭Just Like Heaven


    I can't log in online. Is it updating or am i just broken?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,026 ✭✭✭Amalgam


    The Minecraft server has been DDoS'd for some or most of the week. Add to that the expectation from the half a million users.

    Some 'status' lists from this evening. Posted on crafthub.

    and..

    Just in the last hour.

    Sadly, crafthub.net are reporting that the game user accounts have been compromised in some manner. Seems to be a brute login cracker of some sort.

    Minecraft Beta 1.0 is being pushed out at the moment.

    Minecraft Beta

    I just updated the client and the server to Minecraft Beta 1.0

    * Working server-side inventory! Finally! (And as a result of that, a whole pile of bugs and issues got fixed)
    * Made SMP servers save chunks way less often in most cases. Chunks don’t resave if they got saved in the last 30 seconds
    * Moving too far away from a container, or having it blow up, closes the inventory screen
    * Fixed /kill
    * Introduced leaf decay again. It acts differently from before
    * You can now throw eggs
    * On a whim, added super exclusive clan cloaks for Mojang Employees
    * .. and something else, which is even more rare

    They were very umm.. 'ripe' comments. I reckon Notch probably wanted to make the site suitable for a wider and more varied audience, including children.

    A very small minority were also snipping away at Notch.. the crime of being profitable..
