Minecraft Username: crossfire26 Brief Description: Well, this started right after the server updated to 1.2. If have noticed, when walking thorugh a mineshaft, that there are random stone blocks in the pathways. When I hit the stone block once, it turns into either a chest, or a spawner. I saw in the Minecraft Quarterly Xraying Page about a plug-in that hides ores, chests, and spawners from xrayers (I'm not sure whether we even have this plug-in, but if not something is wrong with my MineCraft). It also said that it may not cover up things for xrayers, and cover up things for normal users. That is the problem. It is hiding the spawners, chests, and maybe ores from me. I don't xray because its not smart, I can't install mods for my life, and I am able to tell that there are stone blocks that turn into spawners. I am not glitching/hacking either because monster spawn from the stone. I do not have a screen shot because when I went to my spawner, I was attcked by spiders and accidently placed a torch on the stone, which turned back to a spawner. This even happened when asphy unlocked a double chest for me, half of it turned into stone, making it look like there was only one chest next to a piece of stone. Instructions: Not sure, it might only happen to me. How many times did you recreate this bug?: A lot. Result: Chests, spawners, and maybe ores look like stone Expected Result: They should look like what they are Evidence: None yet, I will asap.
Happened to me. It was a spider spawner, looked like stone. I put a torch on it and it looked like a Pig spawner.
It doesn't do it to ores, don't worry. It does it to chests and spawners to keep X-Rayers from finding them as easily.
This happens for me on spawners and all ores (probably chests, now that I think about it :/) and it's becoming a bit frustrating and really a pain... I have to hit stone sometimes to make the ores show themselves. A lot of the time when I hit one ore, break it, take the block, and walk away, the other ores in that vein will appear; I have to go back to veins to get everything. It isn't as annoying on spawners, because usually it is fairly obvious when a random piece of stone would be a spawner. On mossy cobble in a room? Likely a spawner. Covered in webs? Probably a spawner. Just.. hiding ores from me already makes mining even less worth it, considering the ore price drops. :/ I'd like to not be affected by anti-xray precautions when I don't xray. I don't want xrayers, either.. I just don't like "being punished." :b
The anti-xray feature does apply to ores; ores that are hidden (ie not exposed in a cave system, are hidden by the anti-xr feature. This too helps hides it from xray. While I agree with Moofink, it seems to be here to stay as Andrew loves the feature. More so when people message him with, "Why can't I xray anymore!?"
