New Anti-Xray measures

Today me and zerg went through some measures to prevent xraying, well, what does this mean for you if you don't xray? Really... nothing. There's a few things that have changed.


We've taken a more 'orebufusicator' type approach when improving this, so therefore, it's going to be really hard for you to xray now.

- Can you tell which ore is real?

Now, you may notice after you break a stone you'll immediately see diamond/gold/coal/etc then it will go away, this is a result of this, but once you start mining, it shouldn't happen anymore.


This is all I have to say, so if you're wondering why it does that. That's why.

Well something annoys me that i found. When you are mining i found a iron ore that then disappears a split second later. So if there is any way to fix that then that would probaly clear up a little confusion for some miners.

Mattme1... that happens to me too. It's very annoying cause I silk the ores that drop items (coal, lapiz, dias, redstone) and mine the ones that drop blocks (gold and iron...) More than once I have mined coal thinking it was iron, thus losing out on the chance to silk and fortune it later on. I hope it gets fixed, before too many people get cheated out of significant amount of fortunable resources (if thats a word?)

jbidge7... Yes an x-rayer wrote it. Before you judge him, consider this... Theres billion dollar corporations that pay hackers who can breach and fix residential and commercial security systems. This is home the security systems can be improved on. same concept applys here. You need a x-rayer, to prevent x-rayers.
Also... that H1N1 outbreak that affected and killed people few years back... The vaccine for it, had the virus in it. They have to give you the virus, so your body can create antibodies to combat the virus. (you'll learn about it in high school biology probably).

While you may think hackers like this are bad, you may end up working for them one day,
Because they can do what you can only dream of.

Well... In all honesty, I find this new X-ray thingy really annoying, when ever you find diamonds, they just disappear. (or on most diamonds anyway).

When a creeper explodes it makes a bunch of FAKE ores around the cave wall that last a long a long time so when I think all of the fake ones are gone, I'm like ooh diamonds but then i start to mine them and they disappear. D:
