Minecraft – way to craft Podzol in Minecraft

minecraft-java-edition

I just want to build a house with Podzol on top, but I don't want to use my Creative Inventory to get it. How can I acquire Podzol?

No, podzol's not craftable. You'd have to harvest it with a Silk Touch–enchanted tool from the rare Mega Taiga biome.

Minecraft – n “inventory mod” that doesn’t allow cheating

NEI can be set to Recipe Mode. And if you think you'll still be too tempted to switch to cheat mode, open the file %appdata%\.minecraft\config\NEI.cfg and modify the following setting:

lockmode=0

This will make it impossible to switch to another mode ingame.

If you consider the ability to delete items (instead of having to burn them) no cheating, you could also set

lockmode=1
utility_actions=delete

to lock to utility mode, where the delete item icon is available in addition (I removed magnet, since that's already a cheat)

Minecraft – How to keep the mobs away from your house at night

Fencing works very well in this case, as mobs cannot jump over fences, with the exceptions of the Spider.

Remember, you want a lot of lighting around your house. Hostile mobs only spawn in dark environments, so you want plenty of lighting in and out of your house to avoid the chance of a mob spawning or getting close to you.

You can also try building lava traps, like a moat, so mobs that try to get too close end up getting burned as a punishment.

In general, it's all about lighting and keeping the area around your house open and free of darkness.
