Uh-oh. I accidentally removed an emerald. I don't know what they're for, and i hope I didn't insult anyone! I'll go learn about them so I don't do that again. eeeek! sorry!

If you still have the hard drive from that computer, can you have the game and files salvaged from it? You might have to do some asking around to find out where all the files related to the world would be stored and how you could have them ported out so they can be used...

Thanks for your response, Thunderbolt73.

I checked out those youtube channels. bookmarked, Bookmarked, BookMarked and BOOKMARKED!

I have visibility turned up to maximum but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Maybe it's an issue with my friend's server or something on his end?

The last time we tried making maps, months ago, resizing maps was broken. I haven't tried since then and don't know if it's fixed.

Thanks for the great idea about luring the horse across water with food! It honestly had never occurred to me before. Because I'm no genius. Srsly. I've lured animals into pens, into automatic farms, but never across water because... yeah. *blush*

Killing creepers: the commonsense thing you're SUPPOSED to do. Except when they aren't in visual range and you can't hear them, which I can't do because i'm deaf to sound in the range they hiss in. Whatever. Life doesn't stop because I can't hear. It's okay. I'll look for other solutions to get rid of creepers because my friend doesn't want to enable cheats. He's a good friend and I don't want to take that away from him.

Has your experience with chests been in the Bedrock edition? Because the stuff I've been finding has been pretty pathetic.

But your suggestions have been very helpful and I'm really feeling a bit better about coming to like minecraft.

AgentShield233, your advice to not think of what to do, but do what I'm thinking is great.

I am very creative. I was in Second Life for years, and EVERYTHING there is user-created. I learned to use Photoshop, Gimp, Blender and Maya to make everything from elizabethan furniture to landscaping plants to fountains to Kimonos, dance fans, vehicles, structures... the sky was the limit there. I have a friend who created avatar animations using motion-capture as she danced traditional japanese dance. I had another friend who scripted waypoint signs in a park that went invisible when you were too far away to read them.

I think I find Minecraft boring, but that may be because I haven't adapted to see its potential yet. This I am trying to do, hoping I am not being a snob.

Thanks so much for your advice. It's helping me feel hopeful about liking minecraft and I appreciate that very much.

First of all, I only tried making maps once. I didn't know how to keep them straight in my inventory and then had trouble putting them up in proper order. At the time my friend and I were doing this maps were broken and couldn't be shrunk down. He's been doing some mapping lately and I don't know if the shrinking issue is fixed.

When I first started Minecraft I was hoping I could make a map I could hold in my inventory and look at to show me a large area. But that's not going to happen and I understand that. Now, I am just hoping to make something I can take screenshots of to stitch together in Photoshop and end up with something like a Chunkbase map (without the scripted coordinates, of course) so I can get some idea of what the layout is. And because of you the people who've posted here, I'm beginning to feel hope about liking the game more. I'm looking forward to bonding with this community and returning the favor it. :D

Thanks for the advice, Carbonawk. :D

We play the Pocket Edition on a server he runs where just the two of us play. I guess I do need to find someone to share ideas with. My friend and I do build together and he's wonderful in his way and I'm wonderful in mine, but our styles are so different that he doesn't often inspire me. I have no idea if I inspire him; I know he's very patient with me. Very patient.

Visibility - I don't have a problem in my local games. In fact I started a local game using the identical seed as our server and from the spawn point I saw a large island just off our base (which is at our spawn point) that we never knew was there! We had been sailing past it, on both sides, for over a month! Would other versions have better visibility on servers? Could it be a Pocket Edition thing on servers?

Buildings - does the plugin you use remove achievements? My friend wants to have achievements available to us and he's been so patient with me I don't want to deny him that.

Finding people - Is the best place to do that in the forums here? How do you weed out the people trawling here for viewers to ramp up their Youtube revenue?

Maps - are maps just a lost cause and I should quit hoping for some sort of solution that works? I mean, given how enormous the worlds now are they would be so helpful. Sigh.

But thanks so much for your helpful post!
