Well, XP->Essence. Sounds about right. And there could be means to sacrifice mage's own Essence (from health bar, maybe even hunger and thirst bars) and let's say that it is more valuable than mob's Essence. Mage's Essence could be also used up if there's not enough mob Es... let's call this one XP for now, but in case you aren't willing to sacrifice it, backfire is much harder. Like, say, 10 XP for tenth of your health worth of Essence if you are willing and fifth of your health for 1 XP if you don't.

It will die only if I'll break it somehow, but why would I want to break it? It's not like I'm hosting females in my nest or anything.And do thorns really regrow? I don't want to test it with my little one, he's not even rooted firmly yet.

Well, I think if you shave, it you should be able to build yourself a nest in its branches.

But maybe not. Want some magic, Teddy Jr.? Give away your life force, or borrow and adopt life force of others.

Actually, several trees' roots don't grow down that far - about half a meter or so for Siberian pine trees. I lived in pine forest for half of my present life and fell the withered ones with me hands couple of times, so I saw quite a lot of dem roots.

That's even worse. That means every time I get pushed off a cliff I should waste ungodly amounts of resources to "understand steel" once again. And not even iron - all tiers starting from tin. You might as well force hardcore mode, at least it's not so frustrating. If I spent all my life mining tin where do I get knowledge about hematite from? Sure, some ores look similar, but this exact thing tells that if I know how ore look like, I know about cassiterite AND hematite. And I'm able to break a hematite just like any other stone.Same thing with others. If you spent time collecting roses, do you get to know where Hemlock seeds are? If you catch thousand goldfish, do you get to know that puffer is poisonous? I bet you should try to eat it first or feed it to someone. Because you swing weapon to kill it and thus develop strength. But do I need to kill someone to learn how to wear plate armour?

Will it also try to tax everyone who passes and rebuild the bridge if broken?

In creative mode or in MCEdit. I don't think there's another way around for now.EDIT: Oh. Well there is then. I think I shoud've tried to read the whole thread.

Yes, okay. But. Why am I suddenly not able to pick this flower? Where's the sense in that? How killing zombies helps me to smith steel picks? Or wearing this chestplate?

Why would you want to shoot your game in the foot like that?

I think it's not TFC bug. Sometimes it did that on previous versions of Minecraft, Steve's right hand just was invisible until you restart the game.

I just punched it, didn't seem to take any longer than usual.

There's no problem with two of the same as long as there's something else of other kind too. For example, two peaches don't work, but two peaches and potato do.

I have the same problem. Seems like remainder of vanilla hunger system to me, with constant damage being starvation damage independent from new hunger bar.

I think it just doesn't work with the same ingredients. You should try two different ingredients.

This doesn't help.Apparently fruit trees are suffering the same issue.

Also, when you destroying tool rack of any kind, they drop oak tool racks. Yes. They're even connecting with each other like wooden stairs do.

Actually, it's all blocks. Repeaters, wires, torches both lit and unlit. You can't get it through normal menus but you can get it by block id. Heck, even the piston head is taking a block id. But I don't think it's possible to replace this blocks with TFC blocks or any other really. At least not without base class editing.

The problem is - you have to leave peace of leather like this for several days and then come back and look what happened to it.

I'd say truly growing tree should be handled like fruit trees do right now with trunk going through several stages before it's reached regular wood block (if that's a thing in new system).

Erm. And why exactly plants and shrooms? Why not moss and glowing bacteria?

As long as I'm able to build complicated contraptions, I'm fine with it.

Well said. I can't quite understand where things are going after 1.0.0. I mean endermen are nice, they kept me scared of them for some time before I got used to them, but other stuff seems like separate bits from here and there rather than steps in some sort of plan.

Yes, it will. The main difference being that as of now there are only four lines along which you can travel safely - strait north straight west, etc. With the addition of stars you could be heading towards one star or another or between two stars.

Ah, come on, what's the worse that can happen? There's some fitting stuff I drew a while back.
