KaboPCHow much of a benefit do we get from surrounding Zombie Villagers with iron bars or beds? Is it worth the work and resources? This video looks into the numbers related to converting zombies when there are iron bars nearby. I used a mod to time the conversion so we can see the result.
Note: Beds and Iron Bars are treated the same in the code, so I tested with Iron Bars because they are easier.
Thanks to sciguyryan for mentioning this to me and to Unhost for inspiring me to look deeper into this question.

Forum Topic and Download: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1544812-142-showmonstersNether Fortress Spawning Regions [1.4.7]KaboPC2012-10-26 | sciguyryan and I looked into the code some more and we discovered that the spawning regions are not just along the walkways of the fortresses, but they are also not tied to the chunks containing fortress pieces.
Additionally, I updated my ShowMonsters mod for 1.4.2 to see exactly what the areas were. This video should clear up any confusion about where the spawns actually occur.
Also, check out a mod (NFBBOutline) by apoc which shows the bounding boxes with red lines: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1538820-nether-fortress-bounding-box-outlineMCEdit Filter String Field ImprovementsKaboPC2012-10-22 | I've been playing around with improving the string input fields for MCEdit filters. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for how it should work or how it should be implemented.
The filter is SethBling's; I'm only using it for testing the string field changes. He will show it when he's ready.
These changes are in development; until they are included in the main MCE project, you need to be able to run MCE in dev. mode to use them.
EDIT: Feedback was good so I've added this to GitHub, if you want to try it out, the branch is patch-3 in my mcedit repo.Kabos Minecraft - 23 - Digging and StuffKaboPC2012-10-18 | Nothing special this episode; just a few updates on what I plan to do with my series and a lot of talking about random stuff.Enderfarm Piston Issues - Help?KaboPC2012-10-18 | There are some piston issues with my enderfarm design discovered by MrCorpax.
