And now we know why we can't find any glowstone in the nether...

There is plenty of glowstone in the Nether, everyone else is just afraid to go searching for it.

Yeah... I saw them around the netherstone fortress... just being a smartalec.

Just checking TC - does your xp farm still work if one is AFK, and just checks in every ten minutes or so to kill everything? Or do you have to kill all the mobs as they spawn, so that there are never 6 or more within the spawning area?

EDIT: Incidentally, I have a spare zombie spawner gathering dust somewhere if you need it.

If you've switched it on they'll keep spawning regardless of whether you're killing them or not. However, I strongly recommend you do not AFK with it activated for more than a minute or so. The mobs accumulate so quickly if you are not killing them that it will start to lag the entire server if you let it get out of hand.

I went AFK with the Arena spawner for about half an hour. I had no lag with that. But you're supercharged spawner seems like it will lag a lot.

Exactly. He apparently cornered the villager market too. ;-)

I have not obtained a single piece of glowstone from a villager.

Whoa, relax. Just kidding.

I am sure you guys have considered this as you have played the game for this long...
What about a production plug in like power craft?

The only thing I wish for really is a mechanism to crush stone into items that you can pick up. And I can't find any in vanilla minecraft.
The mining part to get stone for my castle is taking many man hours and I would like to make a machine that makes ready to go stone.

Ask TC if you can use his cobblestone. He always seems to have a surplus. Far more than you can carry.

Yeah, I've got about 15 chests of cobble. You're welcome to take a large quantity (10+ chests) if you'd like.

I like the various industrial mods, but I'm wary about them because of balance. I try to keep everything in the game very balanced in terms of effort to obtain. I find that balance like that is important to keep everything we build 'impressive.' Some of the production mods eventually get to a point where you might as well be playing in creative mode. That seems like it would cheapen the development that has been done. The only time I've been ok with a system that does stuff like that is the sand generator, and that's just because obtaining sand/sandstone requires strip mining the deserts which looks absolutely hideous and ruins the area. I figure the sand generator is an acceptable sin to avoid the strip mining desert blight.

I've never looked at Power Craft specifically, so I'll take a look at it and see if it looks balanced for the server.

Alternatively, enchant a diamond pickaxe with Efficiency IV and then chug a haste potion. Stone will evaporate in front of you.
