Enchantment...

If you need to enchant your swords, bow, pickaxe... Etc. Place your enchantment table down, and lots of bookshelves allow you to get higher XP selections, so before you placed any bookshelves, your highest XP thingy... Amount would be only five, now it's higher. I think you can also place anvils around for high XP point boosts. Depending on the amount of mobs you have killed, it depends on how much XP you have, when placing your item you wish to be enchanting in the square section, you can keep taking it in and out, until you get the highest one you can get (again, depending on your amount of XP). Once you have selected one, you can't go back. I think when enchanting a bow, you can only get: Power 1 . I don't know though.

When exploring dungeons and underground...

When you are exploring underground, and you think you may get lost, bring lots of torches and place them on your right when going deeper underground, so when you are looking to go back up to normal ground, follow the torches that are on your left, this should help you find your way.

Currency

Most servers use gold ingots or emerald for currnec, while villagers us emerald for money. You can either mine emerald, or trade an item, like 15 steak, for a few emeralds to spend

Item ID 56 (diamond)

I have found a way to get unlimited diamond! But no like having to drop it leave your server then come back. No, instead all you have to do is get a furnace of course and type... /give username 56 64. Then you will get 64 diamond and you can do as many times as you want just don't add a period. But remember you need a furnace you will only get the raw materials and you can't make armor or weapons with that.

1.2 Update [Mob Traps]

As you know, 1.2 came out, and to some of you it's a problem.
Mobs are now smart enough to not fall in pits or get trapped from a wall, and that is REALLY NOT helpful for making mob traps.

So now your trap won't work, so FORCE them to fall into something... By using water currents!

Mobs cannot outrun water currents like you can.

This can be helpful for making Fall Traps, Grind Traps, or even Drown Traps!

I hope this helps with your traps!

The risk is worth it!

So if you're like me, you avoid every natural cave or mine you find and patch it up with stone. Then you turn left or right and continue mining. Well for all those people who are afraid of exploring them, it's worth it. Just make sure you either leave occasional dirt blocks or something like that so you don't get lost or don't go far. The reason the risk is worth it is because mines are littered with GOLD! And caves have some too. Not to mention redstone is also common. If you don't want to risk getting lost or something that makes sense. Just remember how much gold you can be missing out on. I once found 54 gold in one exploration.

You're Not Alone

When you're working in tunnels, be sure to carry hundreds of torches with you and light every step of the way as you go. If any area reaches a low light level, or no light level at all, it allows Mobs to spawn. If you don't light your tunnels, they'll sneak up behind you and kill you, even if you've checked your tunnels before. A helpful tip for the miners.

Avoid Death By Creeper

If you enjoy the challenge of Normal Mode or harder, but don't like how an explosion by a Creeper kills you instantly, keep this in mind: Most armor will protect you JUST enough to survive a creeper blast. Armor seems like it may not be all that useful, and can sometimes be overlooked, but it's worth your time to use it. Iron and Diamond armor work the best!

Finding Diamond

If you're like me, you've had trouble finding diamond ore. Well, I've figured out a trick to it. All you have to do is dig down until you hit the bedrock. Go up three blocks, and start digging a tunnel in any direction that's one block wide, and three blocks high. Dig until you just can't dig anymore. Move over two blocks, and start digging your way back. You're almost guaranteed to hit Diamond Ore soon enough.

Super Chests Glitch

To create a Super Chest is very simple and easy to do if you follow these instructions:

1) Obtain three chest blocks (Item ID 54)
2) Obtain an Iron Bucket (Item ID 325)
3) Fill said Iron Bucket with water (Item ID 326)
4) Place two chests next to each other to form a Large Chest.
5) Place the water on either end of the Large Chest. Not front or back, but left side or right side.
6) Place the third chest on the water.

Doing this creates a Super Chest which is three times larger than a single chest, and 50 percent more space than a Large Chest. Be aware, some servers outlaw glitching, seeing as that's what this is. In Minecraft, this is a glitch which Notch needs to fix. This MIGHT work with Lava, but I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND TRYING IT. Not unless you have a server modded to turn off fire and burning. Other than that, this makes the Large Chest 50 percent larger than normal.
