I just discovered an interesting and hopefully novel way to travel both vertically and laterally very quickly. I call it teleboating.<br />\n<br />\nI noticed that one is able to get into a boat even when one is a couple blocks away from it, being instantaneously teleported into the boat. Furthermore, I noticed that when in a boat, right clicking another boat will transport oneself into that boat, again skipping over the distance between. There are two applications of these properties that I find useful:<br />\n<br />\n1. Vertical teleboating<br />\nEach boat takes up about a 2 x 2 square of space. If you place boats in 4 x 4 bowl-shaped containers, with each container about 3 m above the one below it, then remove one of the four central blocks, you can right-click the boats from below, ascending to the next level immediately. Because each boat is directly above the next, you can repeatedly the click the same screen region and ascend very quickly. This method of ascent is faster than stairs and more space-efficient than water elevators.<br />\n<br />\n2. Lateral teleboating<br />\nThis technique is much simpler. By placing boats in a straight line, you can repeatedly right-click the same spot on the screen and progress from boat to boat at very high speeds, far greater than walking speed. I believe that lining very long and frequently traveled hallways for example could save a substantial amount of time at a reasonable cost. Granted, I have not compared the speeds to those of minecart travel.<br />\n<br />\nIn particular I find the first application to be very promising. I imagine these techniques would also work with minecarts. So what do you all think? And has this been thought of before?</div></div>", "user": "hydrogen777" }, { "id": "15658", "time": "1296573672", "html": "I finished my mob farm yesterday. Works like a charm.
