Jeah the caverns I found are huge and right now I'm lost so I just jumped up on a high place and save/quit.

I need to fill that place with lava and shut the "door" behind me. I don't believe there is anything there anymore other then mobs spawning in the dark.


i don't even remember how many caves i've gotten lost in i need to find a system that works to avoid getting lost in them.

i had to take out one of my mods because it was conflicting with my mini map, i forgot i had two of the items from it in a chest in my house, and when that happens you get placeholders that crash the game when you click on them, so i got everything else out of the chest and blew it up with tnt. that was my only choice because breaking the chest also breaks the map.

but i ended up destroying the chest next to it which had my 8 stacks of obsidian, and several stacks of brick, as well as my bed my front wall and my respawn torch.

ah that sucks.

I have a system that I use that includes placing 4-5 torches next to each other in a row or in a square like pattern, and I remove the middle one or the top left one on my torch square. I place them right before every new entrance on both sides so I can recognize it from far away etc, or write letters and numbers with torches and use wool and wood to patch pathways I have saved for checking later on.
So i can easily say... Ah it's the Wool path or wood path. For example placing torches in a square (3x3) and leaving the middle blank for a wool block.

But I have a friend staying at my place so I was slightly drunk and he was jamming Modern Warfare 2 so i just went deeper and deeper in and lost my way running in circles. I will find my way out but last time i was on MC I found it impossible and will return to it later on when I'm by myself and I can relax and do it properly and not die and lose my stuff.

But I've emptied that place as far as I know so I believe I'll seal it and shaft somewhere else on my island.
It's incredible how much stuff there is under/around you on such a small area. I haven't been more then 500 steps from home.

i might try something with redstone as navigation in caves. but i need to find a system that i can do in a hurry because when i find a cave system the last thing i think is how i will get out, and my first thought is "wow i wonder what's in there" i tend to do things without planning beforehand. like going out to get a wolf pet with no bones on me. and i find out once i am to far to turn back, so i start trying to find clay or cactus or something.

i often go out to farm wood with no axe, even though i have a diamond one in a chest in the house. go out to build with no stone.

i did find a desert biome on my map finally it's about give or take 1000+ blocks from my house, thank god for flying mods that let you move really fast.

i find the mod toomanyitems to be invaluable in my case.

Jeah, happens to me constantly, to much ideas and plans in my head but no order of priority.

My next project will be to build a flying castle in the sky, a giant one. Like a chunk of levitating rock with a old school Dracula fortress.

I want to build it in obsidian to give it an authentic dark look and a strong material. But I might have to build a miniature first out of cobblestone. But I'm not that good at making obsidian nor do I have a lot of quality picks to do it right now.

I'll need some more venturing.

yeah obsidian is a pain to get i agree there.

it's less of a pain with my crowbar, but still making it can be long and boring as well.

I just recently downloaded and installed the Mod "More Creeps and Weirdos"

The noises some mobs make are pretty annoying...

But worst of all, I found a Pyramid.. I went inside and I heard faintly "...You must find me..." in a deep, dark, and just generally terrifying Voice.

I died a little.

i think that would even get to me hearing random voices in my game, so much for thinking about downloading that mod. when i first heard about the infamous herobrine that scared me. now i know he is just a monster placeholder, and he is technicly still in my game. but i'm begining to wonder if he does appear at random as a monster glitch.

but at least he doesn't make noise. did you find out what made the noise? i'm mostly curious.

Herobrine was disproved by Notch.

he made a Joke in one of the later patches saying

"Removed Herobrine" Though.

I heard about Herobrine through notch disproving him, so I just laughed at all the stories that people made about him.


EDIT:

By the way with the Mod, you can edit how things spawn, and which things the mod spawns by altering a simple txt file, I just kept them on at the time of downloading it, so I could see all the features, I turned those pyramids off the second I heard that.

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Human <-- herobrine the monster template that was removed, how it got the name herobrine i'll never understand. but from what i've read about herobrine how people described it and what the human description says it seems logical to me. i'm guessing the every so often mobs glitch and the template is spawned, it doesn't move or attack and goes away after a few seconds once the game fixes itself.

the herobrine stories are similar in description, i'm guessing that what they have been seeing is this template glitch, so i'm not about to dismiss the stories anymore, because you never know the game is still a beta, and betas glitch alot.

somehow that herobrine picture seems ligit to me it would be hard to photoshop the character in the picture and keep the fog looking natural, and the high fog seems to be hiding his eye color, herobrine never existed of course but he human template sort of inherited the name over time. part of me wishes i could have found him.

i did spawn him in my last map i had to turn of mob damage to keep him from killing me, when spawned he is hostile, but once i turned of the damage and got him to stand still he stood with his arms slightly foreward and if i would move he would watch me, like in the screenshot. mine though had my custom skin so he looked like xemnas he seems to pull from the in game texture. which is why he has the default texture normally because most people use the website to use a different skin, i use both methods, i edit the in game texture and use the website.

Am I the only one who actually like the cave ambience noises? They give such a nice, eerie atmosphere.

if anything i like them to be able to pin-point uncharted caves. the noise that continues to scare the holy crap out of me is the ghast's wail. which is purposely made to sound like it's coming from everywhere at once, and with my high tech speakers it gives a new meaning to holy s**t that is freaky.

spiders i still hate those bastards and they still have parties on the roof.
