Famcraft Survival / Re: Alternate clients?
« on: May 01, 2021, 04:00:21 PM »
I'm replying to my own post. I went and researched this alternate client and their own website and FAQ don't even specifiy what it modifies. I'm just going to tell him it's not allowed. That's best I feel. Thanks.

Famcraft Survival / Alternate clients?
« on: May 01, 2021, 03:50:58 PM »
Hello,

My son logged into Famcraft after quite some time away and I noticed he was using an alternate Client. I told him I'm not sure if that's allowed here as I don't really know myself what that client does to the game other than some onscreen info. So I am asking for him, are alternate clients something allowed here or should he just use the regular client for Famcraft? Thanks!

Plea to be unbanned / Re: I'm not banned (as far as I know)...

Any update here? My son can login and access the forums just fine using the same browser on the same PC.  Log him out, log me in, I still can't do anything on any forum except this one. I can access the game server just fine though - it's just the forum here that my account seems messed up.

...but this is the only forum I can post in.

I can't start a post, reply to a post or edit any of my posts on the forums. I tried multiple browsers all with the same results.
I have been able to send messages (I hope they went through) and post an auction - that's when I discovered this glitch is coming here to create a post about the auction listing.

Can someone take a look, please? Thank you much!

Famcraft Survival / Mob Farm Conundrum (warning: math!)
« on: May 17, 2020, 02:38:13 PM »
So I built a creeper farm with the hoppers collecting the kill at y=62. The farm is in the air with a 33 block drop and 10 spawning platforms above that, putting the roof at y = 125.

So the well-understood mechanics of Minecraft put a spawning sphere around the player at 128 blocks (euclidean - meaning the Pythagorean theorem will work when calculating a distance between two points). Inside of 24 blocks, nothing spawns - so there is a chance to spawn a mob from 24 to 128 blocks from the player.

Despawning begins to occur at 32 blocks. A greater percentage chance the further away from the player the mob is until finally at 128 blocks despawning is 100%.

So given all that information, Y=190 is 128 blocks from Y=62 (the hopper/kill area). If I stand there or any higher, the creeper will despawn before it is killed. Alternatively if I stand close to the farm, I'm bringing the ground more and more into that spawning sphere of 128 blocks (and any holes/caves that may exists underground) so the chance of mob spawns outside of the farm increase, reducing efficiency.

So I put a AFK platform at Y = 187, which puts me just inside the 128 limit in order to minimize any ground spawning and virtually eliminate any UNDERground spawning.

But when I stand on this platform, the farm won't work. In THEORY it should, but it doesn't. All the tutorials also put AFK platforms just inside that 128 limit as well. What am I missing here?

Other notes:
  • The PS field has mob spawning allowed
  • I know server mob cap is a thing but I think given the theory above, it should at least work slightly better if I reduce the chance of outside-the-farm spawning in my loaded chunks.
  • The farm works, I'm just trying to get it to work a bit better.

General Discussion / Re: Resources?

The intention makes complete sense but when I clicked on emerald it gave -1 (negative one) resources to someone who had 0 to start with. That's why it kinda looked like a downvote. :0

Looks like it's an upvote/downvote mechanic for the forums. A particularly helpful post you give a diamond to upvote and if you don't like what someone has to add to the discussion, you give them an Emerald to downvote. I'm just guessing based on what I just did when I clicked on Diamond for you - you now have 1 resource.

Sell your products/homes / Re: Skeleton Spawner - Cheap!

There were zero bids on the auction so I'll consider this post and your contact with me last night as the successful bid. (retracted) it is.

Pick out a spot where you want the spawner to move, we'll touch base next time we're both on. You can pay me then and we'll get in touch with an admin for the move.

Sell your products/homes / Skeleton Spawner - Cheap!
« on: April 29, 2020, 01:38:59 PM »
I'm selling a purchased skeleton spawner. Get all the bones, enchanted bows and arrows you could ever want! Good for a nearby XP farm too without making a trip all the way to the Enderman farm.

Normally these cost $500,000 to get from an admin. The auction starts at (retracted) since it costs $100,000 to move the spawner so that's baked into the cost. You pay me the Auction price and I'll pay to move the spawner.

Bid at: (old link retracted)

Famcraft Survival / Auction page
« on: April 24, 2020, 09:21:29 PM »
I put a starting bid in for a main mall shop, but it shows the original username I signed up with and not my current in-game name. I was not able to edit it.

The auction shows "Enderville" which was my original name a while ago, but it's currently "Zerop". Is this an issue for the auction or is it fixable?

Famcraft Survival / Selling spawners?
« on: April 06, 2020, 09:20:26 AM »
Hello, Famcrafters on the forum!

A little while ago, I bought a skele spawner and built around it, it's fantastic. Recently, I stumbled upon a naturally generated one one that was super close to my base. So the questions are:

Can I sell a spawner? (This would need an Admin's help to move it with the 100k cost I assume.)

Can I refund the one I bought (even at a reduced amount)?

Can I change the one I bought to a different type? (I think I saw somewhere the answer to this one is "Nope".)

Basically, I don't need two spawners of the same type and I am looking to recoup the some of the cost of my original purchase (which I think was roughly a year ago?)

I own one of those Coleman's hanging up on the right there. Haven't used it much lately, gone to LED lanterns like the Streamlight.
