An apple computer with a caps lock key

Set your sneak key to caps lock, this way you don't have to hold it down to sneak, you can just press it once to activate sneak and press it again to deactivate sneak.

things needed:
An apple computer with the Magic Mouse
OSX Lion

In lion you have the ability to switch your desktops by swiping side to side on the Magic Mouse. If you swipe to a different desktop while holding a key or mouse button (left click for example) you can keep using that action without holding down that key. This is how I make exploring and mining out huge areas bearable.

Most important tip: Never tell S2 that you own a Mac. Ever.
Bad things will happen.

This is all really helpful, because I own a Mac!

You have your opinion, that's ok.
I prefer Macs but if you don't, fine.

As to the former, I didn't know that. It might work on pc though, not only mac.
As to the latter, you could already do this before Lion by pressing the f3 key to view mission control/exposé, then going back. It works for walking as well, but for walking and mining it is pretty inefficient as you can easily walk off an edge, get stuck, mine into a pit of lava, etc. Plus it might be considered exploiting a glitch.

1. I've tried it on a pc, it doesn't
2. I never use it for walking and mining for those reasons.

What?

I own a 2009 version of Mac desktop... It is alright, but only runs leopard, because they wont let you buy Lion unless you have snow leopard!!!

I use an Asus Laptop mostly, because Windows is far more compatible with just about anything.

Also I would like to see something great for the windows users/owners....No viruses without an anti-virus. That is one of the only GREAT things that macs have.

Nah, pretty sure you do use it for mining, exploring and "those reasons".

I mean't mining and walking at the same time.
I'm never afk when I use it.
