  1. The farlands don't exist anymore. When the new world gen parameters came out in... 1.8 I think, they changed it so that the map just ends in an invisible wall at where the farlands would be. So unless if you want to see an invisible wall (lol irony), don't bother going to the farlands anymore. Unless if you want to use mcnostalgia to revert to an earlier version.

  2. Personally, I like to play the games that influence game I really like. Even more so if it's freeware. Dwarf fortress is credited to be an influence for Minecraft, so I recently downloaded it and gave it a try. Even though the game itself is old, and the fact that it uses font characters for the graphics, instead of proper graphics, it is still alive and well. I wanted to say that the game is really fun, and is really hard for new players. Sound familiar? It should, because it was probably the same for when you all first started playing Minecraft.

    Basically, you start out with 7 dwarves, each with talents you can assign, and some tools/food/animals/resources you also can choose. You create a random map and choose an embark point. From there, you designate your dwarves to do things. Like dig a hole in the ground for your fortress. And by designate, I mean highlight an area for them to do something and hope to god that the one dwarf you decided to make your miner decides to actually dig. It's not that bad though.

    I recommend you all give it a try some time. You can download it either at the wikipedia, or the devs site, which is easily found by searching Bay12 Games.

  3. Earbuds are a nice replacement. Because they fit right into your ear, you don't lose any of the sound from the speaker not covering your ear. Sound leakage also happens less too. Not to mention they are less likely to break because they are small. Just make sure to get a pair that don't start to hurt after a while. A good indicator of whether or not they will start to hurt is if there are any protrusions on the part where the speaker is. Only major problem with ear buds is that they tangle easier than headphones because they have one more cord that goes to the other bud, instead of just one cord going to one side, and then going through the part connecting. Remember, you get what you pay for, so cheap buds are going to be pretty bad, and expensive ones will probably be better.

  4. There's also the respiration helmet enchantment, which isn't added by a mod at all.

    Although that is extremely rare, and doesn't give complete underwater breathing. I think it almost doubles the amount of time you can stay underwater, but you will take drowning damage when all the bubbles are gone.

  5. Re: Massive Lag With Tekkit

    Is it me, or does lag have nothing to do with fps....?

    I always thought lag was connection based; response time etc. FPS is just how well your pc handles minecraft.

    Your 8gb ram aren't gonna do any good (nor bad), simply because minecraft doesn't use over 500mb.

    According to the devs, putting it at 8 GB actually is really bad. I'm pretty sure one of them can/will/maybe elaborate about it more, as I don't know the specifics.
