Ghasts

DonZabu

Fucking flying just out of reach of my arrows, making those weird noises all the time. And yet without them, the Nether is totally boring.

Vorpy

No shitness?

WHY

WHY THE FUCK DID I CLICK ON THAT

DonZabu

Why do I click image links at 11:30 at night?

Just wait until the update when glowstone becomes required for lanterns and torches burn out.

Vorpy

Here's some noises they make just for you too. I dare you not to click it.

DonZabu

^ Fine.

-doesn't click it-

Lawl Vorpy why u post a video of diahrea coming out a butt?  u so crazy...

Turtle

I didn't even know Ghasts could make all those sounds.  I haven't had the misfortune of being noticed by one yet, in my trips to the Nether, so all I've heard are the moans of a nearby one that's behind a nice thick natural wall.

@INUH: Can you point me to where that's been said officially? if its true, it would make getting lanterns almost impossible...I've heard people claim that this was true, but there never seems to be any evidence.

Turtle

Finite torches is like, the worst idea ever, and I think that's why we haven't actually seen them in an update yet.

snowbull

Infinite torches requiring glowstone is the worst idea ever. Enjoy needing about 6 stacks of torches just to find the obsidian, using 12 more stacks of torches to find your way back up, build the portal, then start harvesting glowstone. Once you have spent an hour harvesting and have acquired about 6 blocks of glowstone, enjoy choosing your torch's location wisely.

Vorpy

I would like it if Lanterns were super badass versions of Torches that could work like ceiling lights. Torches are nice and all, but Fire burns things I don't want it to, you can never move  Glowstone, and Jack-O-Lanterns are difficult to place without a lot of block replacement.

Turtle: Actually, they are designed to sound like they are right next to you even if they are just shy of despawn range

Yes, the one that sounds like he's just on the other side of the wall? Could be chunks and chunks away

That has lead me to getting ambushed a few times >.<

Once had a ton killing me on smp (Mods the server uses). Lag meant my arrows fired too late. I warped away and came back later, then beat them after a few close calls

GET AWAY FROM MAH GLOWSTONE!

Turtle

No, I know he's on the other side of the wall.  He's just visible from the portal from which I entered the place.  But I didn't know that thing about them, either.

Icalasari

^ Oh. Have you thought of rebuilding your walls with obsidian and blowing up the Ghast with TNT? I remember once blowing up a Creeper with TNT. Sweet, delicious irony

And yeah. The sound feature always makes me on edge in the Nether, especially when mining through the walls to avoid Ghasts

Turtle

That would take a lot of obsidian.

Icalasari

Guessing the wall is big then?

Vorpy

Cool note: Cobblestone resists Ghast fireballs.

Icalasari

^ Most things do. I think anything with the resistance of smoothstone and up is immune to Ghast Explosions?

However, only Obsidian and Bedrock resists Creeper and TNT explosions (Although I've heard that enough TNT can blow up Obsidian)

Vorpy

It has a resistance of 8k or something. With enough TNT explosions you can.

Chagen

Eh, Minecraft is fucking boring anyway.

Vorpy

DonZabu

^^ I don't suppose you've ever had the pleasure of digging yourself into a hole and crying all night because you couldn't build a proper shelter by nightfall, when the spiders come out?

Turtle

That's pants-crappingly terrifying, and while it may be exciting, it's not really my idea of fun, per se.

Icalasari

^^ A REAL man goes out in the middle of the night and faces the spiders with their fists! And a MANLY MAN goes out and faces FLAMING SPIDER JOCKIES shooting MISSILES filled with ACID while only using their MANLY BEARD to fight! And the MANLY MAN would WIN!
