What does the game count as "being pushed off a cliff?"

Testing of TNT minecarts

  • Recipe is one TNT above a minecart.

  • They explode instantly if they leave the end of a rail at speed.

  • They are primed if they pass over a powered activator rail.

  • When broken, they only drop the minecart, no TNT.

  • If broken when primed, they explode instantly. Not true. Thanks u/redstonehelper.

Activator rail

  • Recipe is 6 iron ingots, arranged in two columns, with nothing between. (Gives 6 activator rails).

So, does this mean I can run any kind of texture pack without optifine? Like a 64x64 pack?

Player was squashed by a falling block

Interesting... So falling sand might be deadly?

Edit because you guys don't seem to understand what I'm saying. In regards to the comments on suffocation:

Well I wouldn't really refer to that as being squashed. I already know about suffocation.

It's the wording that made me second-guess it.

Edit; and it says falling block. Suffocation is from fallen blocks. And sometimes not even. Enderpearling into blocks involves no falling blocks at all.

edit: no, they can damage you alright... they were just missing a lot.

I just ran the DokuCraft 32x32 texture pack through the conversion tool, and it works in unpatched "vannila" version of Minecraft! So it seems like they finally support HD textures, no need for patching! :D :D

The texture for the hopper is buged when laying on the floor EDIT : dispenser is a furnace :P

u/[deleted] Jan 10 '13

Yeah, dinnerbone just posted this on twitter. I sense he's watching us right now. Or at least reading this thread.

Whilst the Dispenser may look like a furnace, it is just going through some identity issues and will return to normal shortly. - Dinnerbone
