Minecraft Mods: Single Player Commands

When I want to make a large elaborate structure it can sometimes be impractical to mine each and every block. The Single Player Commands mod was created by simo_415. Check out this link for the download and a list of the commands.

Minecraft Update 1.6.6: Maps and Hatches

 

    On May 26, 2011 Mojang released Minecraft version 1.6.6. With this update came the addition of maps and hatches to the game.

    A map allows you to view just over 651 square miles. A map is crafted with eight units of paper and a compass. When first created, the map is blank. In order to fill in the map you must explore the surrounding area first.

    The hatch works exactly like a
door except that it opens straight up; a hatch only takes one block of space whereas a regular door takes two. A hatch can only be crafted at a crafting table. The recipe requires six wooden planks and creates two hatches. When placing a hatch make sure that you are facing the direction you want it to open.
   

Running Low on Coal?

Have you ever been minecrafting away when you realize its getting dark and your out of torches and coal? Well, that's not a problem, at least if you can get wood. You see, with the use of the furnace you can 'smelt' wood into charcoal. Charcoal works exactly like coal and can be used as a replacement for coal in any recipe. Here is a brief video demonstrating how to make charcoal.

I hope you found this tip useful.
