You know, not all of us like these type of game.

I for one, only play RPGs (Console-style RPG mostly).

And i would watch the language (both language and grammar) if i were you .......

And i have no idea why I'm replying LOL

Who ever said we haven't played it?  Maybe we have better things to talk about.  After all, with the new editor and the next game coming out, people are pretty pre-occupied doing other things.  Besides, it's not like everyone here can/wants to play it, let alone pay for it.

Also, yes, watch your mouth pal.

ive been playing minecraft all day, aint that great a game, once you dig and dig and then do more digging, then make a house, a castle etc novelty wears of.

days dont last long enough well gameplay yes its addictive but well its just tooo plain...

i wanna know tho, how big is each person world, like i see another island, i know its random generated with each persons world but how big is it?

I believe the size of the world in Minecraft is 3 times the size of the earth

I played that for a few days then got bored.
I heard it was only good if you bought the full version.

Yeah, It's only good if you buy it.

Also, dood, it's actually 8 times. Meaning Hell is the size of earth...

I just got the beta version today, because a good friend of mine that I used to go to school with suggested it. For the most part, it seems fun. I wouldn't mind asking for suggestions though...

1: Where should I build my first house on my first world? So far, I only see islands dotting the water, as well as a larger island(?) that is covered in forest. Most of the islands are pretty bumpy, but they almost all have trees. If not forest islands, then I have desert ones with cacti. Other than that, there has been a single gravel island so far.

2: I am unable to play the game for very long without it stopping on me. You know when you have a program that stops responding after a certain amount of time, or after a glitch? After 5-10 minutes, the Minecraft client stops working.

3: Feathers and leather; how should I use them? I currently play on Peaceful mode, but I only plan on doing so until I solve step 2.

4: Any good mods? Many of them seem really cool, but are there any that can be recommended to me?

5: Also, is it possible to change my character's model? I think I have to find a mod of some type, but is there a value that I can switch or something? For example, to make myself a creeper, or a cow, or even a model that another mod might create.


Other than #2, it is a pretty fun game so far. I have to agree with Maxi that it is really plain, but with a few mods...

actualy your Mine craft level is endless in size. the farther you move from the span point the bigger your save file gets meaning that the farther you travle the bigger the world gets.

Also cactus are awsome!

1.  Wherever you want, but I would suggest close to your spawn point so you don't lose your base when you die unless you know exactly how to get back to it by...like...landmarks or waypoints that you can leave to follow.

2.  Try re-downloading minecraft again.

3.  Feathers can be used to make arrows.  Go here for a full list of all the crafting items and how to craft them.  http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Crafting

4.  http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Client_mods  Check this link for a list of mods for the game.  I personally recommend Zan's mini map mod.  Any of the links that are green (on the left side.) are the ones that are currently up to date.  Otherwise I would also suggest Mo's Creature Mod.

Kain: Great, thanks. I will try redownloading it tomorrow though, as I finally got charleysdrpepper's code to work.

zman: Awesome, nice level. I should have mine ready later, but it seems to be a tropical island paradise right now. Actually, I might keep it that way, and see if I can find or make a mod for Yoshis.

Multiplayer, could one of you please tell me what that is like? I kind of want to try it out with my friend later, but...

QuoteAh, not bad.  Have you ever done multiplayer?

no i just started like three days ago and i am using the hacked version because it lets you save your inline game on your computer and vice verca.
also my hacked version is the wrong one to go on line so i need to find the current one.

i like the hacked one because it has a map, different stats for finding certen blocks. (and no it just makes coal and iron harder to find and the... red rock easyer to find.)
also there is a special mode called super insain mode there the zombies have insain stats and they stay durring the day and night... it sucks lol.
there is a bunch of other stuff that makes it different from the real game.

also its free but to go online with it you need to buy the real thing.

over all i like the hacked one more then the real one.

actule my hacked version is legal because you need the real one to run it...
but just so you know there is a hacked version that lest you play on line with out paying BUT I DON'T HAVE THAT ONE!!!!!!

also when i go online i keep what i already did but i lose the hack extras so its legit!
If only i could find were to get a current copy of the one i have. ... all i can find is the elegal one but IT's ElEGAL!

Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: zman9000 on 12, February, 2011, 04:51:09 PM
no actually its just a file and it lets you play the full version on your computer without buying it but it can't go online. for online play you need the real version and you can't use the hacked file, so you have to start over if online.

But i feel like i pointed this out already above Role.........

well what ever. I can't find the file on line so my brothers friend is getting it for me as he already has the new one...
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Salanewt on 12, February, 2011, 04:54:18 PM
Multiplayer was okay, but I found it boring after I made my tower. What I want to try to do is set up a server for a few specific friends, but to try to find a way to have it as a download client that I give to them instead of posting my server online. It would require an Internet connection, but... well, anything that allows me to play with some friends, but is free at the same time.

Also, I found a really good mod. Crystal Clear Water (or something like that). It removes the opacity of water when you are under the surface, so you can see further away. It also makes water seem slightly more realistic, as I no longer have to pretend that a ruined factory polluted the world's water. Mo' Creatures is awesome as well, as it has allowed me to have Epona (and with that, I have a Link skin).

zman: Oh, so you are playing Classic?
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: zman9000 on 12, February, 2011, 05:17:54 PM
yea but for some reason the version tried to down load updates from the official site and got jammed. i tried reloading the program but each time it happened again. then i read in the instructions that you have to down load a new version each time the official site updates.
since it uses the same program as the real version it just works weird.

I suppose that if you hacked this hacked version you could get online play for free, but thats illegal ( and i wouldn't know how to go about doing it in the first place.)

and now i know Role will be like:
Well if your in college for programming how do you not know how to hack things.

Well thats simple! because I don't!

... yeah.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Rolina on 13, February, 2011, 12:21:48 PM
Playing any version of minecraft with mod support without paying for it is illegal, zman.  That's what I'm saying - that minimap shouldn't work with the trial version.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Atrius on 13, February, 2011, 12:45:57 PM
Hmm...  I'd forgotten I bought a copy of this way back.  I might take a look at the server software at some point to see if I can set something up.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Kain on 13, February, 2011, 01:07:14 PM
I have a server up and running but I've only played on it twice.  Once with Role when I first made it (Dynamite.  Dynamite everywhere.) and another time when I was showing leaf the game.  I recommend you have a powerful machine or something if you plan to run one.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Salanewt on 13, February, 2011, 01:32:05 PM
I have my computer, but I do not feel like trying it with my laptop. Either way, I have to get my computer repaired before I try a number of things that I want to do.

Hey Kain? Could you (or anyone else for that matter) tell me about servers? I have an idea for what I want to implement, but I need more information about how servers work first.



Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Atrius on 13, February, 2011, 01:53:57 PM

Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Salanewt on 13, February, 2011, 01:59:32 PM
Ooh, that sounds cool. Would it be free, or would it cost you money to set it up?

Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Kain on 13, February, 2011, 02:11:13 PM
It's completely free to download the software and make a server.  I'll try to answer any questions you have but when it comes to setup itself, don't ask.  I'm not even sure HOW mine started working.  One day, not working.  Rage quit for awhile, try it again a month later, out of nowhere it suddenly works.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Salanewt on 13, February, 2011, 02:38:27 PM
I might not ask about setup, but I do have some questions. What can people do: for example, anything impossible for admins to do? How do worlds work? Can you limit the people who go on, or is it open/available to anyone who finds it? Can others upload worlds for others to play on? Do mods work, or is compatibility limited? I apologize for the questions, but I have an idea that requires knowledge on these subjects before actually saying the idea.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Kain on 13, February, 2011, 04:17:39 PM
1.  Admins can do anything.  Materialize items, destroy and place bedrock, mess with other stuff.
2.  You get one world and it is randomly generated.
3.  I heard that there was a limit of 20 people but that could be wrong since I've seen servers that have more than that.
4.  Yes you can limit who goes on.  If you don't know the person, you can kick them, ban them, give them certain privileges, etc.  Only people who know the address of your server can get on and only you and the people who know can distribute it.
5.  Never tried uploading a new world.  Maybe.
6.  Player mods work but for the player only.  There are server side mods but there are few and some of them are a hassle and a half to work with.  You'll have to just check around for them.  I myself use the wiki since it has a list of available mods that show if they are up to date, however it doesn't seem to have all of them listed.

Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Rolina on 11, August, 2011, 09:13:49 PM
I would just like to get this out there - Griefing is wrong.  Theft is wrong.  If you work with someone on something, it doesn't make it yours and yours alone, and if you have a falling out with them, you cannot destroy it to get back at them, nor can you steal everything the two of you stored together.  If you decide you're going to be mad at the person, perhaps it's better to change servers, rather than destroy all their work while you go and start over elsewhere.

Since, you know, griefing and stealing is a dick move.  For all the rest of you, if you have a falling out with someone, don't pull stuff like that, or you'll find yourself not being able to ever touch that server again.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Salanewt on 11, August, 2011, 09:35:53 PM
Isn't that kind of like general knowledge amongst Minecraft players? Either way, thanks for that bit of advice.

Quick question: I have a plugin that allows me to turn into various mobs, should I play around with this to scare my friends? Maybe turn into a chicken and throw fireballs at monsters?
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Rolina on 11, August, 2011, 09:45:08 PM
Yes, it is.  And it just happened to me, which is why I'm telling the rest of you.  While I wait for the server admin to repair everything with the anti-griefing tools, I've gotta settle with being offline.  I don't even know if I'll get anything I had in storage back - and that is a lot of stuff gone.  I logged on to find the storage area to be a crater, all the hard work I'd done in ruins AND covered by several mountains of lava.  Even the other storage I had was ransacked, all the lightstone I put up taken and the storage gone.

I can understand being upset, but destroying someone's hard work is uncalled for.  There's better ways to handle it - just make sure y'all don't let y'alls anger get to y'alls head if a friend gets you mad.

It was a joint project, but after our falling out, I was just going to take the stuff I had stored there and leave, letting them keep the project and just going elsewhere.  To see all the work destroyed and the land rendered unusable, though... and all the stuff I had in storage stolen, and my dogs killed... that was uncalled for.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Salanewt on 11, August, 2011, 10:31:54 PM
Oh well, I suppose things will settle in the fairest way possible soon.

Quick question; would a Hookshot item be fine for a Sky Temple? I am trying to build a dungeon for my friends to try to do, and I want them to have to use a special item to solve some of the puzzles. I am also considering a boomerang and an umbrella that negates fall damage. Two items could work though...
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Rolina on 12, August, 2011, 12:01:06 AM
Sounds reasonable, except for the Umbrella.  I suggest looking at the Aether - they have a parachute thing that functions similarly to what you have in mind.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Salanewt on 12, August, 2011, 10:31:06 AM
The umbrella can also blow enemies away if you right-click, which is why I am voting for it over the parachute. Still, a parachute would probably be nice to use as an upgrade to the umbrella; perhaps it can negate fall damage completely, whereas the umbrella only halves it?

I also have a cool idea for another dungeon; the Arcane Grotto. I found a modded item that has the pulling/pushing capabilities of a sticky piston, but is a handheld item like a sword. I think they called it the Power Staff?
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Rolina on 12, August, 2011, 06:12:32 PM
An umbrella would break though.  You're talking about that leaf from wind waker, aren't you?
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: leaf on 12, August, 2011, 07:14:09 PM
It does sound like that, doesn't it? Although technically an umbrella could work.

> Point closed umbrella at enemy
> Open umbrella
> Greatly oversized gust of wind appears and strikes in that general direction
> Close umbrella and repeat
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Salanewt on 12, August, 2011, 07:22:31 PM
Kind of like that, but in the form of an umbrella. The leaf might be a better choice though, as that can be something to put in my Forest Temple. I might rename it to the Forest Shrine or something.

Ooh, what I could do is have the Umbrella break after a certain amount of time, but the leaf is better:
> Lasts forever
> Blows enemies further
> Completely negates fall damage

Other than that, it would be the same as the umbrella. I am going to look into item modding to see if I can learn how to code items, since I have some ideas for magic gear.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Rolina on 12, August, 2011, 10:33:28 PM
I just assumed from the hookshot and from this that you were trying to make some kind of zelda mod.  Which... you know...


Would be freaking awesome...
Title: Re: Minecraft!

They already have a Zelda mod though; or so I think. If I recall correctly, it was called AdventureCraft or something. I think it comes with cutscenes and everything too, which is nice.

That doesn't stop you from making your own custom variation, though.  It'd be awesome to have a homebrew zelda mod.  Hell, why stop at just zelda?  We could pull some stuff from Darksiders while we're at it.

Well, I might look into Java so I can make blocks and items in the future; heck, maybe even mobs. I am a fairly busy guy though, so this might wait for a while first. In the mean time, we could think of new items and blocks and what their purpose is if we want.

Quicksand: Cobweb effect when swimming up, but you fall through it as if it were water. This includes suffocation damage with no air bar. Other than this property, it acts like other liquids.

Heh, I just thought of something fun...

If you ever do this, have it so the "light world" has the overall feel of zelda to it, while the "dark world" is more like darksiders.  It'd make for an interesting mod, for sure.

I also recommend AGAINST using the nether for the 'dark world'.  It'd probably need to be a 1:1 thing.

hmm i had an idea for something...

it had kind of been sorta talked about... but not like this.
and i don't think anyone we have would want to do it or even be able to do it.

My itea is to make a Golden Sun Mod.
it would have some monsters in it and would have the blocks to re make parts of things from golden sun.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and another idea i had is if we did make this so called mod, i can see one or more of of us making places from golden sun to a 1:1 scale.

i mean in golden sun the world is basicly made of block tiles...
and i've checked and rooms and every one of them don't run through each other and could be made in real life, even in the lighthouses.

so what I'm saying, if we do get a bunch of members that know the code/ have made a minecraft Mod before, we should see if they would make a golden sun mod.

maby even have basic magic moves from it. if you've seen the new tornado mod you know its possable.



this also proves that you could move blocks with some kinda power (Like "move") and other stuff with enough work.
and there are many enemy mods and making enemys we all know or even the bosses shouldn't be that hard to some one who knows how to do it.
and blocks, we would just need some art that looks like blocks in the game that we could use.

So what do you think of the idea? Like i said, i don't think we have anyone that could make a mod, or even want to spend their time doing so, so this would kinda be a project for the future. I am going to be learning code in college so in a few years i "could" do it... but I just don't know at this point...

Quotei can see one or more of of us making places from golden sun to a 1:1 scale.

That could actually be a fun little side-project, for those of us who play Minecraft. I seem to recall someone offering their server for use - Kain, I believe it was. I wonder if he would open the server for us so we can try this project out? It could be a fun little thing where we get together every once in a while, maybe even working to construct Weyard. Once we have the start of a workable world, then we might be able to see if anyone on the server understands Java well enough to create the mods that can complete the Minecraft Weyard.

I've never played minecraft, but it's up there on my list for when I get other stuff out of my hands. If I get into it sometime I might want to jump onto this as I know a bit of Java programming.

Exactly role, and if you've seen the new pokemon mod, you would know that just about every thing in golden sun is possible, also the tornado mod also makes some moves like "move" "quake" "force" and others possible.

now we just need some one who knows how to make a mod to do it, and like i said, in a few years i could even do it.
i had Java class in high school, but don't rember much, but i am going to start relearning it in college.

also role, i had a picture of a golden sun re make project to show.
Its a 1:1 scale project

To all ye who play minecraft...

[spoiler=Infinite obsidian]
Make a portal.
Go to the Nether.
Get the portal hit by a ghast.
Kill yourself.
Re-enter the portal after re-spawning, it will create another one(the portals are not linked, so, upon finding no active portals in the Nether, it will create a new one as if you had entered it for the first time)
[spoiler=Image](http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/Minecraft/Minecraft_portal_duplication.png)[/spoiler]

Should someone should point this out to the developers? Maybe suggest to link portals so they will re-activate and repair when someone enters the active one?
Title: Re: Minecraft!

Hard to say. The good thing about this is that it allows us to get an unlimited supply of obsidian, but the bad thing is that it is a bug. Maybe if someone suggests it after 1.8 comes out, so we can abuse it and report it.

Post by: Amylolz on 04, September, 2011, 06:50:17 PM
There's a new mod called Equivalent Exchange.
its an interesting add on mod for minecraft.

Not only can you get Diamond from gravel, but it adds a lot of hard to get, end game items.

Basically you can turn anything into anything else (if you have enough stuff to do so)

Here is two videos covering the whole mod.

[spoiler]

[/spoiler]

I made a little chart about it.

1 Dark matter block = 4 dark matter = 16 Diamond blocks = 144 diamonds = 576 gold = 2304 iron = 9216 red stone = 73728 cobble stone = 589824 dirt = 294912 gravel.

1 gravel = 2 dirt
8 dirt = 1 cobble stone
8 cobble stone = 1 red stone
4 red stone = 1 iron
4 iron = 1 gold
4 gold = 1 diamond
9 diamonds = 1 diamond block
4 diamond blocks = 1 dark matter
4 dark matter = 1 dark matter blocks
---------------------------------------

like they say in the video some stuff is very expensive but as good as some of those items are, they shouldn't be easy to get.

Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Rolina on 05, September, 2011, 10:22:05 PM
Supply and Demand.

Dirt has a ton of useful applications, despite it being... well, dirt.  Mobs spawn on grass, farms use dirt to grow crops, dirt is needed for tree growth, the ease at which you can harvest it makes it ideal for carrying with you while exploring to help you move around.

Gravel, while a little rarer, is also one of the most irritating blocks in the game.  When digging a mine, the #1 thing that will make you swear aloud, more than even hostile mobs, is running into gravel.  It's uses are:  Harvesting Flint, and getting in your way.  It's a pain in the @#$ to deal with, it cannot be made into something desirable like sand can, does not have practical applications like dirt does, and once your inventory is full, is pretty much guaranteed to be the first block type you junk.

The supply for gravel may be lower, but the demand is rock bottom.  The most you could ever want is probably two full stacks - this will get you to the top from adminium in a single stack, so just shovel your way down and collect the flint that drops.  Other than those two stacks, it has no use whatsoever.

Dirt may have a larger supply, but it is a far more valuable block simply because of how useful it is.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Salanewt on 05, September, 2011, 10:43:32 PM
Yeah, but I think gravel might end up generating in NPC villages - making it even more annoying. I think we can expect this on Thursday, actually.

Oh, gravel is useful for flint farming, but you only really need to do this for flint and steel - skeletons drop arrows if you play above peaceful.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Rolina on 05, September, 2011, 10:52:08 PM
And again, that's why the most you ever really need is two stacks of 64 - making a 1 block tower to the heavens, shoveling it all the way down, and collecting the flint that drops.  Contrast with dirt, which you use to level out areas, add land to areas, use to farm, use to make trees, spread grass to create areas passive mobs can spawn in, take with you on expeditions to make easy to use platforms, etc...

Gravel only can make flint.  That's all.

At least gold has bling value. At least it's used for those useful watches and fancy rails.  At least gold tools work faster than diamond, even if by 0.2 seconds and only for 33 uses.  It's also rare enough to be useful as a faux-currency.  As it stands right now, gravel is easily the most hated block in the game.  Literally everything else, even those annoying Cows, happens to be more useful.  You couldn't pay me to accept gravel in a trade.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Salanewt on 05, September, 2011, 11:00:19 PM
True enough. The only other use would be for decoration anyway. That, and using it for filler if you are worried about using anything better. Death traps too, but using gravel requires a manual setup.

Quotemaking a 1 block tower to the heavens, shoveling it all the way down, and collecting the flint that drops.

I do have a better way to farm for flint though, and it is much faster than digging down. Torches pretty much destroy falling gravel right away, so if you put one on the ground and put a normal block on top of that before making your tower, you only have to manually destroy a single block in order to destroy all of the gravel.

Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Rolina on 05, September, 2011, 11:15:27 PM
You cannot farm flint by the torch method.  You have to manually farm each block for a flint to have a chance to spawn.

Also, there are far better methods of using traps, especially now that we have pistons.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Salanewt on 05, September, 2011, 11:22:36 PM
Wait, it doesn't? Ah, you are right. Stupid mods, changing minor things like this... It was either a mod or a plugin that changed that, I forget which now. Oh well, that method still works for mining at least.

True enough. In fact, I created this one trap that requires an arrow to stop. I might upload pictures of some of my puzzles/traps later, as they might be useful for people to try out.

I made the mogall woods.  Complete with pitfalls.  It's so dark in there that monsters spawn in broad daylight... which is why I have it torched up for now.  I'm gonna finish it up by making it mazelike - and once we get propertyflags in 1.9 or later, or if the server guy gets the plugin for it, we can make it so that people can't actually just bust through - they have to go through mogall to get to the end, and kill the monsters that get in their way.  It will be glorious...  Especially now that you can see in the dark!  Huzzah, brightness settings in 1.8!

I will admit that the lag isn't as bad in 1.9 pre3 than it has been since the previous release, 1.8. However, Optifine seems to be a pretty good mod to use when worried about the lag. If I recall, it refines parts of the code to make it so they don't require as much memory.

Tell me about it.  As for why he's not adopted it like he did smoother lighting and pistons, well... that's the million dollar question now, isn't it?

He has added some of the features, though - such as the brightness scaling and how the game saves chunks.  However, notch uses a higher end PC, so that's probably why it's been off his radar or something.

Or maybe he's too busy adding new features - 1.9 is looking huge.

2. Every day after the 18th will be spent on bug fixing.

What they are trying to do now is to add more of an adventure theme to it, so you would also have access to strongholds (read: dungeons with portals to a bland dimension), NPCs (currently: human-like bald people, each with the IQ of a cow), and things like potions and enchantments (which are actually pretty cool). Once you are able to survive for a single night, you can then go on to try to do more. This could include making giant mansions, cities, or pretty much anything you want. One of the new enchantments will allow you to pick up certain blocks that were previously unobtainable without using commands, mods, or inventory editors.

However, the main idea is focused on survival. Essentially, your starting goal should be to make a safe area of some type with some food.

Now, a variant on LPs I can see - minecraft tutorials.  After all, the main purpose of an LP is a visual walk-through of the game.  However, while there's no story in minecraft, there's plenty of things that you can show how to make.  I actually watch plenty of tutorials.

I remember seeing a LP of minecraft up around 300 episodes at 15 minutes each.

And I watched a multiplayer LP for 207 episodes at 30+ each, and add in a few hour+ episodes. yeah you can make it interesting people will watch.
and that one is still going with an average view count of 70,000+

Actually, I think someone has been working on a series right now. Currently, they seem to be doing something with the PokeMobs mod (it looks cool, but I'm waiting for more water types).

In some of my structures, I like to use blocks that are normally unobtainable. For example, in my 1.9.4 tower, I have End Portal blocks under a layer of glass. I am not sure if your server would do that, but it might be something to consider in single player.

Unfortunately there's no current way to actually get cobwebs without inventory hacks or creative mode abuse. Not sure if that'll change in 1.9, but at the moment it's impossible unless we ask reil to be an awesome person and throw us some.

I'd think you could craft them from string, with slime balls, or something like that. Or its possible that spiders may build nests and big structure's out of them. There's a bunch of things he could add in.

I'm personally done with Mine Craft until its finished, because those damn silver fish... I spawned in a world where almost all the stone was actually silver fish... never lagged so bad before... but its possible my brother loaded a mod or something...

That would be nice, though 1.9 has an enchantment that allows for picking up several blocks already. For example, one can technically harvest ice now. While I sort of like this idea, I am kind of disappointed with two things.

1. No spike blocks yet. I was kind of hoping that spike blocks would have been added to the game in 1.8, since it would be easier to use them in my dungeons than cacti. Moreover, it would make sticky pistons just slightly more useful to me. Well, hopefully in a future release...

2. No Skylands/sky dimension. What we have instead is a floating hunk of white stone in a dark dimension - in my opinion, this is nearly the polar opposite of what was initially planned. The good thing is that they still could do something about it if they want, but the likelihood of that seems low.


But enough about my opinion, what is everyone else' take on this?

Fairly dead thread and all, and I dunno if anyone here still plays a lot of Minecraft... but anyway.
For those that do, and haven't already heard the news, you'll be pleased to hear that 1.2 is already looking to be the greatest update in mc history.

We get improved mob ai for all mobs, meaning they can navigate mazes and avoid falling off cliffs/into lava now.. as opposed to walking forwards all the time.
Villagers vaguely do stuff... they also have babies... meh.
Tamable cats! :D
Zombies will break down wooden doors if you're playing on hard, with a fairly creepy bashing sound.
Lamp blocks! (redstone powered glowstone really)
A huge list of features I'm not going to list.
And a ridiculous improvement in performance.

However all of that pales in comparison to the grand update... double world height!!
I hope I'm not the only one excited for this, imagine the grand structures that can finally be built now!

Anyway it's all listed on the wiki, and there's a snapshot (pre-release) already out, though I believe it's bug ridden.

Post by: Rolina on 02, April, 2012, 04:18:02 PM
The XP bar isn't really even XP, though.  It's just used to charge up for enchantments, really.  You may wanna look into getting something that's more akin to XP then if you're considering what I think you're considering.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Salanewt on 02, April, 2012, 04:26:18 PM
Actually, the current plan is to make a Fire Rod item. It will take a small amount of "XP" from the XP Bar each time you use it, and it will last as long as a Bow before breaking. I'm not sure if it will deduct from your "level" value, since I had an idea for that as well. If it works out nicely, then I might try my hand at a few additional items too.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Rolina on 02, April, 2012, 05:01:02 PM
I kinda don't like that idea.  The Minecraft Magic mod does something like that already, and does it better (using an MP system).  I suggest looking at that for inspiration, and instead of using XP as a fuel source, use it to recharge the magic rods when they start running out of power.
Title: Re: Minecraft!
Post by: Salanewt on 02, April, 2012, 05:13:54 PM

it would work with the experience bar on the bottom of the screen.

the elemental classes would work like factions and link with the site (if youre in the venus clan, then you would be an adept of the earth.)

we could have the psynergies and try for djinni.

of course this would be better for a server....

so after 10 hours straight i only have the entrance and 1/20 of the wall done... its freaking huge...
I should be able to upload a picture of it in a few days... a incomplete version but that's better then nothing.
I will speed things up with MC edit, but that can only help so much.

to give you scale.
great pyramid width: 756.08 feet/230.453184 meters (height: 480.69 feet/146.514312 meters)
mercury lighthouse width: 500 meters/1640.42 feet (height: greater then 1500 meters/4921.26 feet)

If you do ever purchase the game, I would highly recommend trying out the Tekkit (For multi-player) or Technic (For single-player) modpacks. They add a huge amount of content to the game, so much so that I am pretty much unable to play it without them.

I discovered earlier that the server I just brought back up with minecraft classic has apparently had quite a bit of work done on it within a matter of days.

The entire main is now one big pyramid dome with various stuff built inside of it. I'm going to assume that was the work of somebody looking for a minecraft server to build on through the public listing. It's public unless the members here vote to make it a GSHC member only server, where you require the link. I'm leaving any decisions concerning minecraft servers running on my hardware up to the community here since I put it up for you guys.

Here's my most recent project.

[spoiler](http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa312/Leon_Kudohimi/2012-06-21_195143.png)[/spoiler]

Right now I'm actually doing some recoloring on some sprites for Final Fantasy so once that's done I'll begin construction on it.

That is much better than my pathetic attempt at pixel art:

Background:  looks like a drill and fire wand.  The green thing...initial thoughts are Green Lanterns ring but on further inspection I want to say...a recolor of something from Galaga?

You are close; it is a Size-S Core (Or "Newborn") from Shellcore Command:

As for the objects in the background, they are on top of a Spleef arena:

The one on the left is a Red Matter Morning Star from the Equivalent Exchange mod. While the one on the right is indeed a drill; it is the Diamond Drill from the Industrialcraft 2 mod. Basically, they are high-powered replacements for shovels and pickaxes, so it makes sense to have them there since they are usually used when playing Spleef.

Will not complain about the unimaginative, completely overpowered, boring "equivalent exchange" mod...
Will not complain about the unimaginative, completely overpowered, boring and dull "equivalent exchange" mod...
Must... Use... Self... Control...

I mean, seriously?
My mod is betterer cuz it does things like, betterer...
No thought put in at all...

Compare to "ThaumCraft"

Equivalent exchange's "Red matter tools":
Generally chargeable, infinite durability, area of effect.

Thaumcraft's:

"Pickaxe of the core"
"This magical pickaxe smolders with inner heat. Any materials harvested is automatically smelted as if by a furnace. Holding shift supressed this power. You can also use it to create a small wisp that will guide you to the most valuable item it can find nearby."

"Shovel of renewal"
"The enchanted shovel is capable of removing large sections of earth and sand. Holding shift suppresses this power. It is also extremely effective at removing tainted ground. If right-clicked it will encourage plants to grow."
The 'large section' here is 3x3 horizontally.

"Axe of the stream"
"This enchanted thaumium axe harvests all wood blocks (logs, planks) connected to the targeted block, and as such is capable of cutting down entire trees with a single action, depositing the wood in the player's inventory. Holding shift suppresses this power. While right-click is held loose items will flow towards you.
Note that the larger the tree, the more durability will be consumed, the axe will stop short of destroying itself but any further uses will destroy the axe."


etc.

Also includes a research mechanic, corruption known as "taint" (which spreads based on taint and aura levels within areas of the world), eldritch artefacts...

ThaumCraft is, without a doubt, a better mod than Equivalent Exchange. However, it is not multiplayer-compatible, so you would still be unable to run ThaumCraft on a server no matter how badly you want to.

As for Equivalent Exchange being overpowered, well... It is. I honestly do not care, though. You are never going to have a balanced experience in a game that is running a gargantuan number of mods. And trying to make survival mode challenging in Tekkit is like attempting to make a motor vehicle run more efficiently by removing the heavy engine. It sort of defeats the purpose, and removes many necessary components. Well, at least in my opinion.

Anyway, this is a screenshot of a project that I have finally completed, it is a re-creation of Colosso:

Sorry if you took that as an attack against you, it was not meant that way. Consider it promotion for TC, I just think too many perople think that EE is the "best mod ever" due to it's both undeniable, yet also unbalanced, usefulness.
They just think that the best mod ever is the one that does everything best.

No worries, it is okay. And I completely agree with you, Equivalent Exchange is overpowered, and also quite overrated.

As for what the chests are... Errr... Um... They are... Well... Equivalent Exchange Alchemical Chests. The screenshot was taken with my server's texture pack, which alters their appearance.

The re-creation also plays the correct music from the game, dispenses rewards, and resets itself after each match, but that is obviously not apparent from the screenshot.

Really interesting video for sure, but do you plan to upload it to YouTube? It would be nice to see if we could get a bit of interest in it.
Even though I've done hardly anything to get this going I've brought up the idea of a Golden sun mod and or texture pack that will let you recreate any part of golden sun in minecraft. I check around from time to time but this video is the closest thing I've seen to a really good GS texture pack.

I probably will not upload it to Youtube, as it is a bit too of a low-quality video. And what I made barely even qualifies as a Golden Sun texture pack. It is the texture pack that my server uses, and the only Golden Sun-related things in it are the Psynergy set of items (Which replaces the Redpower Ruby set), and a few miscellaneous re-textures of Equivalent Exchange items.

Although, I may perhaps consider making a full Golden Sun texture pack at some point, as it would not be very difficult due to the fact that Golden Sun item sprites are almost the exact same size as 16x16 Minecraft ones.

As for a mod, I have no experience with Java. And if I were to make a mod, I would swear by making it Tekkit-compatible, which would further increase the difficulty of its creation. However, if the Official Mod API is ever released, it should be quite easy.

Oh, and here is something else Golden Sun-related that I made a while back:
