[Wolf of Badenoch]

Spotted this little guy seconds after finding my first Nether Fortress:

 

Also, I've noticed that zombies will go after skeletons if hit by their arrows. On Easy only:

Extreme Hills

Extreme Hills aren't new, they've been in Minecraft for a long time now, that picture is just to show that Jeb is working on (and possibly fixed, or atleast nerfed) the bug where there's random areas which are just pitch black when they shouldn't be.

Spruce Trees spawn on Extreme Hills. They didn't spawn there before.

@Valenta: If I'm not mistaken, skeletons can fight between themselves too.

 

Well, this is an industrial city I began some time ago but I did't finish it

 

 

And this is some experimental tower I did searching for ways to cultive the maxium and fastest possible in the smallest space disponible (at that time I had the safouse inside the top of a mountain and the surrounding area was covered by snow). The idea was to use the water (kept in a deposit in the roof) in order to harvest all the floors but it didn't work as expected

Iron above ground. I had at least three more stacks of coal, each coming in at 64 pieces.

This was all from one mining trip.

 

[WildBrick142]

Started doing some changes to my "cave".

BEFORE:

AFTER:

 

That cave in background is natural but I had to make it a bit wider so I can have a fancy road.

Came across one of the fabled Spider Jockeys last night:

 

Which then proceeded to hit a Baby Zombie and a fight broke out:

What's the weirdest monster fight you've seen?

I was continuing to expand my cave (and waste Oak Planks & Slabs) and now it looks like I will have to nuke the end of the cave because there is no space to build the stairs anymore.

 

Also, I found a random hole under my house that I covered after mining Coal (or Iron, don't remember) at the very beginning and now, for no reason, I made it a secret room to store all valuable stuff like Saddles, Enchanted Books, Diamonds, Ender Pearls, etc. even though I play alone.

Just spent like an hour trying to get a Wither Skull... f*ck they're hard to get, it's such a tedious task to do...

I've not been lucky enough yet with the skulls. All the Wither Skeletons have dropped for me so far is bones, stone swords and coal.

Yeah, skulls are incredibly rare and withers sometimes don't spawn that often, so you have to stay in the nether for ages before you get lucky... and then you have to go and get 2 more

For some reason, on my old world (which became a cheatfest so I had to end this), Wither Skulls were more common. In around 2 hours I had all 3 skulls. (I didn't summon the wither because after that I got my hands on Single Player commands and all I did was fly around the map on godmode, adding myself experience for books & other stuff to kill the Dragon (that I didn't even got to kill because I decided to stop playing) and mining all diamonds I could find and if my pick broke, I spawned a new one) It was on 1.5. Now (1.6.2), I killed like a hundred Skeletons and none of them even dropped a Skull or Stone Sword. Once I'm finished with my "cave", I'll go to the nether and try again.

Wither Skeletons have been pretty common in my Nether Fortress, actually, along with some regular skeletons.

Hmm well in the fortress I'm on there's not so many... maybe I'm looking in the wrong places... I'll stick at it though

What the ravine below my house now looks like after covering it over and making the edges wider:

Took me 3 hours to complete.

^ You should get some TNT. Mining large places is easier and faster with it (Unless you need Cobblestone).

 

Here is some progress on my cave

 

[Wolf of Badenoch]

This happened entirely by accident just a few minutes ago:

I was hoping for it to be Disc 11, to be honest.

Is the inspiration for your cave Etho? as the layout seems very similar.

Yes. It costs a lot of Wooden Planks but looks nice.

[Wolf of Badenoch]

Never been mobbed like this before:

Even with a enchanted Diamond Sword, I was pretty unnerved.

Someone needs to help me. This enderman has been following me for 4 in game nights. In the day, he doesn't do sh*t, and every night he suddenly attacks me and before I can hit him he teleports.

Wait for him to sneak up on you and when he gets close enough (attacks you) bash him as much as possible. If you see him walking towards you, don't try to hit him with a sword or he will teleport away. You can also go into water and swim out somewhere, wait until he despawns and return.

Are lighting bolts something new in the game? Today I almost got hit by one (it fell at short distance from me and set on fire the grass but due to the rain it was put out. Then one of the buildings I've been building caught fire while I was away so I guess it was a lighting again... This had never happened before to me

Nope lightning has been in the game for quite a while now, you can get hit but it's pretty rare. I've been playing the game for years and only once have one of my building taken fire damage from it.

Thank f*ck this is out on PS4.

 

Now if GTAV comes out on next gen I can fully bin current gen consoles.

 

I heard they were looking into some kind of migration tool to transfer worlds to next gen, or did I dream that?

I haven't read much into it, but assuming all of the console versions use the same engine, they might be compatible. Probably not compatible the other way around though.
