Tom's Minecraft Notes

 I have been away from Single Player games for a while but recently returned. So, I decided to add in a bunch of Mods and use Minecraft Version 1.16.4. I use the same seed for most of my Single Player games, so I know where some interesting items will be located. From one Snapshot to another the terrain may change a little and I have to learn it all over. Seed: Tom Loves Cyndie!!! ********************************************* Mods: I use mods that I mostly got from  Mods - Minecraft - CurseForge I just updated some of them, so my list below is a bit off. I will add in some screen captures.  additional_lights- I .16.3-2.1.2jar Haven't used this one yet, recipes don't show up.  Angel-Ring-Mod-I .16.3.jar  ***** 5 Stars! Love this one!

Below is the block of text that I use to setup a new Minecraft, Single Player game. This is what I have programmed into one of my Logitec, G910 Gamer Keyboard's command keys so that I can just press the one key and it will send all of these commands (takes a while to complete because I had to use a 50 millisecond delay between characters in order to prevent errors in Minecraft. I have some values set quite high so I get a lot of loot or mined items (such as diamonds or coal), but not so high that they will crash my game or fill the inventory too fast. The first part sets up Game rules so that all of my creations don't get blown up or burned up by mobs and it lets me keep everything in my inventory if I get killed (which happens a lot when you are trying to demonstrate stuff for a video). Next I give myself weapons, tools, armor, and a couple of additional items to make life easier. Here are the attributes that I use most: Mending so that my items will automatically...

I've built "auto-sorters" from videos on YouTube, designed my own, etc. But most of them have fallen far short of what I wanted. What I want is to be able to rush into my Base and just dump all the stuff I've collected into a chest and let it get sorted automatically. The sorting part is rather easy to do actually, you can do it with 3 hoppers, a few redstone repeaters, and a couple of redstone comparators, along with a few blocks and some hoppers. But, I've even built them without the Droppers, just put the input chest on top of a "feeder hopper" but the timing can be off sometimes so the Dropper format works better because it feeds the items into the system at a slower rate. The real problem occurs when one of your storage chests gets full and the excess items start building up in the "filter hopper" that normally feeds that chest.  At some point the comparator on the "filter Hopper" will start sending out too strong of a signal a...

OK, the Nether has ALWAYS creeped me out!  Full of lava and Mobs, and now it has even the normal mobs that always attack you (I used to avoid attacking any of the Mobs except those that attacked me so I was relatively safe) and, if they hit a neutral mob, YOU get blamed for it and the neutrals start attacking you too!  Kinda like shooting a wolf when others see you, then they all attack you (or used to, I haven't killed one in a long time). For me a trip to the Nether is only needed to get a few resources. Sometimes Buckets of lava for my furnaces, sometimes Blaze Rods to use in making Brewing Stands or for fuel. The Blaze spawners are at the Nether Fortress. If I think about it I can build my Home Base around an Overland Portal going to the Nether Fortress rather than right at, or near, my spawn point. If you create a new world, then save and quit then you can use a program called "amidst" to get a very nice map of your saved world. You can have it display many things,...
