Any tips for beating the Ender Dragon? I even used a mod to give myself all the Diamond weapons and armour, but I still lost in less than five seconds.

We DID that...

[mtmerrick]

the towers regenerate it. hit them (one hit will do it) and they blow up. hit them all and he won't be able to regenerate.

fill your inventory with potions of instant healing and arrows. arrows are your best weapon, unless he gets close enough to hit with a sword, which you want to avoid.

dig a shelter (with roof!) into the end stone. the dragon can't blow that up, it'll protect you pretty well.

use ladders to climb up the towers. have a pool of water beneath them you cn jump into - if you land in a water source brick you won't take fall damage.

water buckets are very useful against endermen

wearing a pumpkin on your head will stop endermen from charging from you unless you hit them.

if i think of anything else i'll let you know.

I bought  2Mak07 a new comp for his birthday . Well, almost new.
HP 2000-299WM notebook T3500 2.10 GHz Processor, upgraded to 4 Gigs of DDR 3.
Intel integrated graphics.
Running windows 7 with Avast antivirus.
Using Firefox ( tho I also tried internet exploder..)
When I downloaded Minecraft I had 2 issues.
1. Could not connect to serve r(from minecraft.com)
2. Picked play online.. black screen.

Went to app data/ roaming/ deleted minecraft files..
same thing..

Each time the result is the same.. if online, gets to about 90% and stops, tho it says it is done downloading.. if download opens to black screen.
What I have tried:
Deleted files as per above.. no good.
udpdated drivers.. no good
deleted and reinstalled Java.. no good
deleted files each time there was a fail.
Got one java error, fixed that and resumed all above steps with same results.
Java says we have latest Java
Intel says we have latest drivers.
Classic runs ok.. =(

Does anyone know how to fix this demon??
Thanks in advance.

Could this be an openGL issue, and if so how do I find out if it is and fix??

Latest Java 6, or latest Java 7?
The current Minecraft Weekly Build is working fine for me, and I have Java 7.

Did you try running JavaRa?
http://singularlabs.com/software/javara/javara-download/

Also: What are the specs of the system that's having the issue?
What version of minecraft are you using?

[MsRowdyRedhead]

Specs are  HP 2000-299WM notebook T3500 2.10 GHz Processor, upgraded to 4 Gigs of DDR 3.
Intel integrated graphics.
Running windows 7 with Avast antivirus.
Using Firefox ( tho I also tried internet exploder..), and the version that's on the site right now.

[The Truth]

Ooh...you're using the free version?

Try checking for updates for your Intel graphics driver? http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu

[MsRowdyRedhead]

No we are using the paid version...  http://www.minecraft.net/  play in browser or download.. neither works.

 drivers are up to date, and here is full info..

FIXED..

THIS WORKED!!
You might also try changing the path of minecraft just to see if it has any effect. Make a folder in the C: folder titled Minecraft. In that new folder, place the Minecraft.exe you download from minecraft.net/download, as well as a folder titled One, (or whatever you want but you would need to change code to match). After this, go back to windows, rightclick and create new text document.
In notepad, type
Code:

set APPDATA=C:\Minecraft\One
C:\Minecraft\Minecraft.exe

Then save that file as RunMinecraft.bat


Then when you double click that file, It will open up minecraft and save all minecraft files to the different directory (in this case c:\minecraft\one\.minecraft)

[Sloopofwar]

Yeah, if you know what you are doing .bat files are really useful. To run a certain server mod you have to use them so I got a quick and dirty lesson in them from my brother.

[mtmerrick]

D'you have aa server sloop?

[MsRowdyRedhead]

I would like to recommend an excellent minecraft community and server..
http://www.minecraftcc.com/index.php

It was first recommended to me by a friend from LU, who was a dev for LEGO. They are pretty much against any griefing, bad language, etc. and the community as a whole is very helpful.
All I ask is that you READ and FOLLOW the rules there.

Have a happy day!
