Minecraft 1.5 Tutorial! Most Compact Automatic Item Sorter! Tutorials/Mining Techniques. See also: Digging In the world of Minecraft, mining is a Player's best friend.
But one must not be a fool while mining! Below are some great tips provided by the community. [edit] Choosing level to mine Levels <5: BedrockLevels <30 Lava, although Lava has been found elsewhere.Levels <14-5 Diamond and RedstoneLevels <30 Gold and Lapis LazuliLevels <60 Ironlevels <70 Coal Due to being the safest layer to mine at which also possesses all ores in reasonable quantities (especially diamond), Y-coordinate 11 (that's 12.620 eye level) is probably the best area in which to start mining. [edit] Preparing yourself to mine Most players find it helpful to bring food, wood, coal, torches, a sword and a water bucket.
If you keep losing your way, try marking your path with torches or a unique entity, such as signs or birch planks. Lava is dangerous, so remember to bring a water bucket when mining. Building a rail system allows the player to quickly shuttle his goods toward the surface. [edit] Cave mining. Minecraft - Zombie protected house inspired by "I am Legend" Redstone Comparator.
The Redstone Comparator is a block for use with redstone circuitry.
It resembles a repeater with an additional redstone torch. It has two inputs: one from the back, signal A; and one from the side, signal B. The output, the torch in front, has different behavior depending on the mode of operation: subtraction, which occurs when the torch is lit, and comparison, which occurs when the torch is dark. Right clicking the comparator will change modes. In subtraction mode, when signal A exceeds signal B, it outputs proportionally to (A-B). In comparison mode, when signal A exceeds or equals signal B, it outputs signal A. If the rear of the comparator (the side with two redstone torches) touches a storage block, then the output is a signal that is proportional to the fullness the storage block is full (see below). [edit] Crafting [edit] Uses [edit] As a low-delay wire/diode Like a repeater, the comparator acts as a diode. [edit] As a comparator [edit] As a diminisher [edit] As a damper signal.

Promises to This has become a great collection!
Thank you for working on it so much. I'd like to add (sort of) a glossary/introduction of some technical terms appearing here, focusing on those that seem to cause the most confusion on this forum (instead of keeping my original, now very outdated suggestions in this post). The idea is to use the same terms/names as in real-world electronical circuits, but also to say where some names cease to be appropriate and why. Spoiler: Well, the analogy to electronics is not quite complete, because we have to deal with different "low level problems" in Minecraft (e.g. how updates are scheduled in Java) than in electronics (where e.g. parasitary capacitors may force us to leave the convenient "digital" way of thinking). But once we got the basic components presented in this thread, both worlds are very similar with respect to how these work and how they can be combined, so let's focus on that part.
