AMIDST Project Formerly Minecraft Stronghold Finder
Advanced Minecraft Interface and Data/Structure Tracking
TO ALL MAC OS X USERS:
If you are getting the "unable to access" error, odds are that you did not properly spell amidst.jar. Keep in mind that Macs ARE case-sensitive. If the jar was on your desktop, the command would look like:
cd ~/Desktop
java -noverify -jar AMIDST.jar

Contact
I actually read every single post in this topic, every message sent to me, and every youtube comment made. However, if you would like another way to contact me, here's an email address: amidst.project@gmail.com (Don't worry, I'll read every email too)
All suggestions on improvements are GREATLY appreciated.
As I'm sure most of you are aware by now, Strongholds are pretty difficult to find, so I've made this neat lil' utility to help out! I'm not much for descriptions, so hopefully you'll figure this all out!
Announcements Occasionally I have things to say.
-2.0 will be out pretty soon! :D
F.A.Q. I get asked the same thing a lot!
Q:Norton virus scanner says this isn't safe!
A: As it turns out, if not enough people review your application and give positive feedback, Norton assumes it's bad. If you don't believe me, here's some proof: This and this.
Q:What does "INVALID" "BIOME" mean?
A:When the stronghold spawning happens it picks three spots at random (kinda) and if there's no valid biome in the area, the stronghold just won't spawn. Basically, you're screwed.
Q:How do I open a .jar file?!
A:Simple, right click and open it with Java! (If you still can't figure it out, use google)
Q:This is SO not accurate, Skidoodle! What gives?!
A:Well first of all, I don't know anyone who still says "What gives?", but all of that aside, you're probably just using the wrong version. Stronghold finder v4.2 or lower is for Minecraft version 1.8.1. While v5.0 and up is for 1.9-pre!
Q:I'm having X problem, but I don't know how to fix it!
A:Great, just post your problem, (provide your seed) and I'll get on it as fast as possible!
Q:I'm not sure if I trust running a random application!
A:Smart, feel free to scan all these files with whatever software you have. It's all safe :)
Q:How do I work this?
A:Watch one of the video tutorials provided!
Q:Any advice?
A:Using a transparent texture pack is still advised. A nice one can be found here
Video Tutorials This should help a bit!

F.A.Q.
Q: I'm having a problem with x feature!
A: Please post about it! I do not have the time of resources to test this application that much, so anything you find helps!
Q: Your program corrupted my save! What do I do?
A: As far as I know, there's no way for me to mess up a save, however, every time AMIDST writes over a file, it creates a backup. The backup is in the same folder, and has a ".moth" extension.
Q: Why isn't there more information about this application?
A: I spent quite some time writing the program, however, making long topics is not a strong point of mine. If you have something you'd like to me to add to this post, please say so.
Q: Norton thinks this is a VIRUS!
A: It isn't, it's a false positive. If you need proof, here and here.
