Using spades / shovels and snow blocks would lag people because of 4x the drops of snowballs. So I switched to a more workable material - TNT. Bad choice? Maybe. BUT, it fixed the lag problem for those that were having it, and class signs weren't needed other than for food. Yipee! Right? 8 or so rounds in on this series of Spleef and here comes a server restart. Ok, well get everyone out of the waiting lobby, take out the tnt, and restart the event after the restart. *Server restarts* I need to set up the arena again. Got the 3 layers of the full 50x50 arena down. Bout to make it 1 layer instead to switch it up from normal spleefs and add a second 1 layer level. I am about to make the first level 1 layer and BOOM! A minute after it starts, the tnt is still going off in random places. 2 minutes in, and the ordeal is over. Here is the aftermath. (Yes, it somehow blew up lava source blocks as well) (Note, I will rebuild tonight or tomorrow)
I'm sorry bajj, but this made me laugh hysterically for a couple minutes. Ever thought about using leaves? those break instantly with shears.
Hehe, Im glad it made you laugh. I was just confused and frustrated at first, but I think it is funny now . I might move to leaves, but no real redstone in the new version, so nothing can blow it up now.
By the way, that was about 7,000 TNT. If you saw the arena, it wasn't small, and all that is left is a tiny part of the far wall. There is also that giant crater below it o.o If you want to know the damage 7k TNT can do, look at those pictures. Im still baffled at how it killed source blocks lol
i've had my fun with tnt all kinds of weird stuff can happen. I even managed to punch through bedrock once.
Bedrock is invincible, literally, so... howd you break it? Straight from the wiki: It is a common myth that Bedrock can be destroyed by a sufficient quantity of TNT. Examinations of the Minecraft code have shown that multiple explosions do not add damage to blocks; any block that is not destroyed by one TNT immediately adjacent to it will not be destroyed by additional TNT. While Bedrock does have a finite damage resistance (18,000,000), there is no explosive in the game which has that much force (the average block having a resistance of 15-30). Notch confirmed on the 11th of February 2011, during a Machinima Live stream, that it is indestructible, or so solid that the amount of TNT it would take to destroy it would more than certainly crash the game, therefore the save file would show no evidence of the explosion ever happening. It is impossible to break Bedrock by hitting it. Bedrock has "hardness" of -1. A negative hardness is handled separately in the code, and causes any damage done to the block by the player's "hits" to be zero, and thus the accumulated damage will always stay at 0
