Survival tip #2
Always carry sand with you. A whole stack of it. If you are trapped on a pillar and there's pigmen below, use it to suffocate them. Tricky considering how they can jump on top of the sand, but just knock them off with a sword when they get too high and keep trying until they die. Usually takes me 10 blocks of sand ;)

RADIOS? WHERE and how do they work?

Also I found the brick house somebody posted a screenie of. I'm on the sand/dirt pillar. :3
And thanks to whoever gave me 5 lives (wow).

Code:
To create a new radio beacon tower, place an iron block next to powered redstone.
 
The redstone current activates the antenna and it begins broadcasting signals within
a three-dimensional spherical range, available to be received by other fixed antennas
(simply click the iron block to show the received signals) or mobile radios
(compasses held in your hand automatically scan for signals periodically).
 
 Extending Range: To transmit and receive further, place any number of iron bars on top of the iron block.
 
As you build up, the new antenna radius will be shown to you in the chat area. The 
antenna tip can be destroyed to decrease the radius, or broken in the middle, and it 
behaves as you would expect, broadcasting from the highest contiguous iron bar.
 
Setting Messages: Attach a sign to the side of your fixed antenna base, and the text of the sign will 
automatically be included in the transmission.
 
Relay Antennas: Built using a gold block instead of an iron block, relays
retransmit messages from nearby antennas. To set a relay message, build a normal antenna
within range and set its message. All relays within range will be notified using a special signal.
Relays retain their message even if the original antenna is destroyed, so they can be used to add redundancy
or extra range.
 
Weather: Rain decreases the transmission and reception radius. Thundering slightly increases it,
but lightning has a chance to strike antennas, causing their destruction.
 
 
Mobile Radios
 
Fixed antennas can receive and transmit, but are limited by their lack of mobility.
Compasses serve as mobile radios, allowing for both receiving signals and navigating
to their origin.
 
To receive transmissions, hold a compass in your hand. It will continuously scan and
report any nearby signals, their range, and message (if any). Switching to another item
will turn off scanning.
 
To tune into a signal, left- or right-click the compass. The next scan will report
which signal you have locked onto, and the compass needle will point in its direction.
 
If it interferes with other plugins which use compasses, players can turn off their
radios using the /toggleradio command.

Optifine, most likely.
Beast computer. But I'm feeling limitations of 32bit system here, so I have set it at 7.
All servers have render distance of 8, so more than 9 is just waste, unless you live in places with extreme height variations.

Also I think I found paradise:


Dat lava ;)

Also I think I won game by finding this place.

Last one was empty, but the others werent =3
Real nice work! I think that last one had a diamond pick and fortune/eff book.

Well I got a nice treat on the way back home!
My luck level is pretty high.
Heh - There are a few transport cages that dropped around the map, I'm amazed you even found one!!

A few have been before, some may still be mining under the reactor trying to find the Wish Granter! The bodies of both myself and T101 are likely still down there (witches be nasty).
