Nah, I don't like cheating giving myself stuff on challenge maps.

There were some things I wanted to fix anyway, so starting over might not be all bad. Pain in the ass, but not bad.

[Seriyu]

If you insist.

Assuming you have enough blocks you could build a bridge to outside of the pregenerated map where the terrain will generate normally and get lava there. Not technically cheating.

Actually, according to the forum page...it is. The whole point of the map is survival with limited resources. While it means you don't get clay bricks or awesome redstone contraptions, it forces you to think strategically and not commit to using a resource unless you either don't need it or can get it back if need be.

[nogoodnames]

Suit yourself. If you think it's more fun to restart the whole thing because of one mistake then there's nothing I can do to stop you.

Although I will say that it would be in the spirit of the challenge to commit whatever limited resources you have so far accrued to such an endeavour. After all, if it's only about survival then you don't really need a cobblestone generator at all. And there's no reason you can't break the bridge and forget it ever existed once you have your lava. Food for thought.

I think you underestimate just how much it would take

This isn't some sky island fifty feet off the ground. There is nothing in any direction as far as the eye can see. IIRC, it would take about 20 full stacks to build a one-block-thick bridge to the nearest land. The Nether is even worse, just a flat, featureless red haze in all directions. Not even Ghasts spawn.

In short, that's way to much effort to go through to break the rules. I had to restart five times before I got this one going, and I'll do it again.

Hmmm, I'm tempted to try this. I found the survival island waaaay to easy. Can I get a link?

You can do it with two blocks

You have to be REALLY lucky and REALLY careful

[RedWarrior0]

Well, you still have wood, and isn't the only fire hazard now gone?

[Jay]

To make a cobble generator, you should really put the lava and water sources one ABOVE the actual location they hit. 

[The Merchant Of Menace]

But accidentally destroying your lava/water source is always fun

[Sirus]

It was my first cobble generator. It took a few tries just to get that one to work

With any luck I will do better next time.

What the hell is the minecraft thread doing in the fourth page .

Anyway, does anyone know how to extract a 7zip file without a program like 7zip?

Edit: Also going to minecraft.com instead of .net brings you to a Fallout new Vegas game review. Note who made Fallout new Vegas

A zip file or some other file you would usually need 7zip for?
And what's wrong with using 7zip?
