Hi,

I'm playing on PS4, is their anyway to build a trap around a skeleton spawner which will funnel the loot drops from the kill section to me where I can collect them safely ?

I want to farm arrows.

There's probably a way to do it with drowning and directing the water flows ? Will that work ?

Follow this tutorial. It's the most efficient way of farming XP from mobs.

Anyway, what the actual fk is that horrendous texture pack you're using? The chicken is made from white wool blocks but that texture pack makes a complete arse of it.
It's the John Smiths texture pack. I used the vanilla tp for ages and it was doing my head in and the others I tried seemed to cartoony.

Takes a little bit of getting used to but I like it now.

Anyone else noticed FPS decrease in 1.8.1? I was getting around 100 FPS in full screen around my base due to all the item frames, but since 1.8.1 I'm struggling to get 50 and it's very stuttery walking about. WTF! eek It must be unplayable for anyone on an average spec laptop.

20-30fps on the laptop even killing a pig can be a bit tricky. What's the problem, processor ram or lack of graphics card?

Bit of a late reply but yep - a huge amount of stutteriness - its not really lag - just everything is very jerky. Have tried a few things to get along with it but nothing really works. Really spoils the game - and this is on a computer that is happy with Alien Isolation / War thunder / FarCry3 etc all on max graphics....

Assuming you have a 64-bit OS, try installing this version of Java (remove whichever one you currently have first).

http://filehippo.com/download_jre_64/tech/

I experienced the same symptoms after updating, but this cured it and it runs smoothly at over 100FPS now. The most important things to run Minecraft are your Java software and RAM.

Just because your PC can play other games on MAX settings, it makes no difference for Minecraft as it doesn't really use the graphics card unlike other big games. My old laptop with an on-board Intel HD Graphics card can play Minecraft due to having 4Gb of RAM and the most recent Java version.

Thanks for the tip! Will give it a go tomorrow - though I am pretty sure I have up to date Java for the right OS - but worth checking!

I see the server is still in regular use from a quick perusal of the server log spin. How about some pics of your builds, chaps? yes

You need to get your PC sorted and get back on smileyes

Took Christmas tree down

Killed a few wither skelly's to get their heads

Made and killed Wither (that was a laugh watching MonkeySpeed69 nearly getting killed laugh)

Made beacon

Sorted out (fixed) our sorting system - new server friendly design

Oh and built a wall around our place (still needs inner wall and walk way doing)

Sounds like you've been busy! I saw the Christmas tree briefly on one of my visits, looked really good.

Unfortunately the wither skeleton area I made in 1.7 is now useless. In 1.8 they changed the height of them to just over 2.5 blocks tall which means they can no longer spawn in the 2.5 high areas I made other than the top floor. There's also a new issue where blazes hitting ZPM by accident angers them and the ZPM attack you. The whole area needs reworking but you spend all your time fighting off angry ZPM who then anger fresh ones that spawn due to the 1.8 game mechanics.
