Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I'm not encouraging people to riot, just saying society does have feedback loops that seem to have been neutralized--at least in the US.
Yeah, we're running out of third spaces here, too. My only real hope of meeting kindred spirits is online these days.
I've been playing Launti Asuna wondering when survival actually kicks in. Why am I only running across slimes? The only thing that consistently kills me is falling through cavern roofs. Starvation used to kill me, but food sources are plentiful (I didn't realize mussel nodes were food!).
Is there a good meeting point for Luanti/Asuna? The ContentDB is pretty damn bare.
Other questions: Are biomes based on X, Y or Z? That is to say, I've been digging down and down and down, but the biome remains the same, though ores seems to increase a little bit. Is it better to just keep walking horizontally and occasionally do some shallow digs?
I'm primarily looking for obsidian (assuming magma + water?), which I thought I'd get closer to by digging down, but I just kept running into more ice blocks.
i'm not sure about asuna. i've played mineclonia before which has exact same mechanics as minecraft. to get obsidian, you need to pour water on lava (and not the other way around, i.e. not pour lava on water). the lava has to be a lava source block, so flowing lava does not work. easiest thing to do is to just find an underground cave with lots of lava in it, and then use 1 bucket of water and pour it over it all. easily get 20 obsidian at once. you need a diamond pickaxe to mine it though, otherwise you don't get any drops.
Fun fact (works in MC and Asuna): you can make a permanent water spring by building a 4-block square reservoir and dropping a bucket of water in two opposite corners.
