*due to being killed by a server bug connecting through my fucking phone

1. Use the /sethome command at your home
2. Go mining, carry a bed
3. When you have some valuable stuff sleep in the bed
4. Make/place a chest,
5. Put your mining gear (not the valuable stuff) in the chest
6. Use the /home command and put all your stuff in your chests at home
7. Kill yourself
8. Respawn back where you were mining, get your mining gear out of the chest, pick up the bed, carry on mining

No, it's a bug! :@

The death might have been a result of connection lag, but it's a Minecraft bug that this actually caused me to die, and another Minecraft bug that all my inventory wasn't dropped when it occurred (or disappeared before I could return).

I wasn't doing any mining, or anything remotely dangerous. I was just walking about.

Also, it's not possible to sleep during the day, so even if your suggestion wasn't annoyingly long-winded (having to click upto 90 times to transfer items), it won't work anyway.

Why would you have to click 90 times? :? It's the same number of clicks as transferring stuff to your chests would be in any other way.

And if it's not night, mine for a few more minutes and then it will be. Dick.

4 rows * 9 columns = 45 cells, (when you can't remember the correct number of rows).

It takes one click to grab an item, and a second click to place it, and 45*2 is 90.

But since the inventory is actually 36 (excluding 4 armour), it's only 72 clicks.
Except you need to do some of it again (probably the 9 hotkey slots), so it is actually 90 afterall. :@


Plus Minecraft logs stats about what you do. I do not wish to be labelled a serial suicider. :@

Which is the same number of clicks it would take to put your stuff down regardless :?

You can shift-click to move things quicker.

No it isn't, because:

* I don't constantly empty and refill my hotkey slots, which I would have to.

* I also carry around useful things that do not go in chests, so again more annoying clicks, as well as the time wasted on the forced decision of whether I need all these X blocks down "here" or should take some back home for use elsewhere.

* Having to constantly go home every single time I have any valuable things at all is a pain in the arse, and results in more clicking because I'm not able to wait safely whilst I gather more valuable stuff. Placing 8 of something eight times takes far more clicks than placing 64 of something once.

* I don't want to keep sleeping and killing myself. It's incredibly depressing!

* We have midnight sun and can't sleep even if we want to.

* Grrrrrrrr! :[

When I say "do not go in chests" I mean "live full-time in my inventory, just like tools" - I always have a healthy square of mud, enough sand/gravel for dropping, ladders, signs, buckets, coal, torches, etc - stuff that I carry around for when I need it, so I don't have to traipse back to a chest.

ah right, yes, I do that too

I'd like several 'inventories' - like toolboxes maybe, I'd be ok with only carrying one at a time but I would like to be able to change quickly/easily from my mining kit to my building one, or a 'gardening' one

Who built the huge fucking trench that cut me off from my shit? And where is the entrance to the other side? I had a chest over there and now I have no idea where it is, and can't get over there because the stupid fucking game thinks I'm trying to fly! /fuck me/

That's a server glitch. The easy way to fix it is to (not jump into the gap and) log out then back in.

what patch said^ (it's a server mis-load, not a constructed thing)

yuo can either log out and back in agaib
or, I have found, placing a torch right on the edge seems to work

wow, thanks! That would have taken some massive digging! I wondered who hired the Egyptians over the weekend!

Yeah I didn't get on until 3 or 4 AM your time. Peter was up for a bit, but not long enough to keep me from freaking out.
