If Minecraft nerfs XP farms, Ill s**t a ******** brick

So, your problem is that you're going to get less XP from an XP Grinder than a person who grows a pair of ******** balls and delves into the earth, mines up ore, fights monsters, explores, grows a field of wheat, etc?

You're going to get less XP for sitting in a single spot, just picking up XP that is handed to you automatically as a machine kills monsters... than someone who actually plays the game and gets their XP the slow way?

The update is actually supposed to even things out. You can use a monster grinder to get slow, steady XP or you can explore, mine, farm, etc and get bigger chunks of XP less frequently.

It balances things out.

Besides, you didn't learn to use the spawners, grinders, whatever to get good enchants. You did it so you could get the good enchants without having to work for them. So you could be lazy.

You leech.

I have a 40x40 quarry almost all the way to bedrock, a branch mine thats about 200 blocks long, nicely sized wheat, watermelon, mushroom, sugar cane, and nether wart farms, and farms of every animal but Mooshrooms. Youve obviously never tried to make an Enderman Farm, to understand how much time, resources, and knowledge of the game it takes. You can say that "youre not working for your enchants", but the work that goes into them isnt by standing there and punching Enderman as they fall down to you. Its in the time it takes to construct and gather the resources that you earn your easy levels. And if youre fine with mining and killing things for half an hour just for one enchant, youve never tried to build a big enough thing thats extremely laborious. When youre clearing out a 100x200 swatch of land just to begin building, you need a crazy amount of enchanted tools, and you dont want to have to spend a half hour for one enchant just to have it break in another hour of use. Your 3 month project easily turns into a 6 month project. Its not being "lazy". Its having other s**t you want to do.

This is not a difficult concept. Its being able to play the game how you want that makes this game awesome. If someone wants to do what you do and slave for levels by killing and mining, please, do your thing. Im not here to tell you how to play the game that you paid for. But please get off your high horse, and shut the ******** up when I learn game mechanics, and take the 2 weeks to gather resources and construct an Enderman Farm. So that I can play the way that I want.

EDIT: Hell, by your logic, chicken farms should be nerfed as well. You mean you can just stand there in a chicken pen and kill them to get feathers for arrows and food? Thats lazy. You should grow some balls and go exploring to find wild chickens to kill for resources. Thats what I do, so thats what you should do.

This. Tipped.

My whole house is redstone-oriented, elevators, stairs, doorways; Everything. Hell, even my farming methods involve pistons now --

And it's not because I'm lazy; It's because I want to help out the five or six other people I play with, without spending the whole damn day doing it -- I'd rather flip a switch, and be productive.

I dont play with others, I have a single player world that I use, and thats about it besides a LAN world me and my buddy started for when I go to his house. Redstone isnt lazy at all, its another aspect of the game youre free to use and apply where you see fit.

But on my world, Ive begun working on a 100x200 Parthenon (original, I know). But its all Smooth Sandstone pillars and Stone foundation/steps/roof. I have about 35,000 stone blocks at my disposal and I intend on using all that I can. The foundation alone took about 5 or 6 double chests. Words cannot express how many Efficiency 4/Unbreaking 3 picks I went through to get all of it from my quarry. Not even counting the shovels for all the sand needed for the sandstone pillars. Aside from levels for enchanting, you also have to consider the branch mining for resources that went into getting all the diamonds for the tools. Its lengthy work, man.
