I played this, and I don't understand it at all... there are no in-game tutorials telling me how to make stuff. I only tried it out because my friends at school are totally obsessed with it and I feel ostracised when they talk about it. I try it out, and to be honest, it's kind of crappy. The only thing I actually enjoyed was punching Creepers to death. The creators need to improve by adding in game tutorials that are toggleable telling you how to make swords and crafting tables.
So Notch mentioned an adventure update for 1.8. anyone know what this'll contain? I don't think I've heard anything about it before.
@Jakest123 Calling a game crappy cause you don't understand it isn't a very backed-up argument. There are tons of tutorials on youtube, and personally, when I got the game, discovering things out by myself was pretty awesome.
Basically everything that was planned for 1.7, they just decided to release pistons early and have everything else in 1.8Quote:

I try to keep the game as vanilla as possible for now. For Bahamut I actually mined/gathered everything I needed except for the Lapis Lazuli I needed for purple dye.Quote:

@Jakest123: The game was hard to get into at first, but there's a lot of tutorials online and the wiki is a must resource. Eventually you get the hang of the game and it gets pretty fun to build crazy structures while hunting down resources and fending off the locals, specially when playing with other people. :)
I didn't understand Minecraft when I first played it but I still loved it, I had built everything out of dirt because I didn't know how to make items such as a pickaxe. Determined to dig a tunnel I made a 2x1 tunnel that went about 40 blocks deep with my bare hands... :D

Forgot a detail, I dug through stone, so yes, it took a long time.Quote:

Welp, I finally decided to try the demo and see what this was all about.
...AND I'M TOTALLY ADDICTED! Now I know what I've been missing out on. :p
I'm gonna load up some money and buy it later today.
I made a texture pack :3

OH YEAH! Check these out!

NPC Villages! And giant mushrooms!
1.8 will be the best update to date! Albeit the ugliness of the NPC village.
well, i'm trying to update the server. and. i must say. this is going to suck on levels that would make a Dyson vac running at twice it's designed current jealous.
see, the teeny, tiny, effing huge problem is thus.....I have to completely re-do permissions.
Don't expect to be able to do anything other than walk around for a while. <3
edit: well, it was easy to fix, actually. tho the new convoluted structure of the permissions plugin makes me want to smite someone.
also, I'll be adding a jail plugin so that the judges have something entertaining to do.
I had a hunch that Minecraft would be popular around here. LBP and Minecraft are the most creative games ever, after all :D Too bad there is no multiplayer support whatsoever, having to host a server is such a pain... I recently found out my laptop has one of the worst layouts ever that makes it overheat way too easily. When I play Minecraft single-player it heats up like a stove and going online is the drop of water in the full cup that makes it overheat, even with every option set to low. Only when I'll buy a good desktop will I be able to play my PC games without anything melting down :(
Try putting a glass of ice beside the fan. Cools mine down, and I get a glass of water ;)Quote:

Quite honestly I'd prefer it to stayed off consoles.Quote:

Sometimes it does take longer to overheat and shut down without notice, but it's certain it happens. Now after the 1.7 update Minecraft started to cause the overheat too, although it takes an hour or so to happen (while Playing Team Fortress it only takes 10 min.)Quote:

Basically, I bought a 400€ stove :( in this same thread there are some users that punched some holes into the lower casing, replaced the thermal paste and say their laptop now runs fine but I'm not savvy enough to open a laptop casing and meddle with its components. Sigh. I'll just get a decent desktop, it's the way I'll play Minecraft online and with maximized settings.

That is pretty darn awesome. You better be making betas so I can play >:C
for those of you that play on my server and haven't already heard, we are taking a vote to see where we go from here. right now its 5 to 1(sort of...odd one, that.) that we start teh worlds over. this includes money and levels in mcMMO and Jobs.
To vote: just log in and go to the voting booth (in the spawn area) and once it teleports you, read the wall. after you've read and understand exactly whats involved, place a sign on whichever side you wish to choose. Also, you can use the command '/mail write memodrix' followed by a short message if you have any issues or questions and I'm not on.
The vote will be over by midnight, which is why i want to make sure that anybody that hasn't voted gets the chance. after i iron out exactly whats involved, provided the vote still stands at reset, i'm gonna stop the server and do away with the worlds so that they can be re-created.

I'm basically gonna let you's guys destroy everything we created on the server, let it go out in style.
it'll stay that way till i get home from work sometime at 8am eastern time(GMT -5).
so log yerself into Craftworld.minecraft.cm (not com!), grab you some dynamite, and i want to see big, beautiful craters everywhere!!!

on the new seed there is this, I really really would like to keep the spawners, You can take the mossy cobble and what not but i really need the spawners.
What's the ET of Bukkit / server update? Since 1.7.3 just came out.
I don't have permissions on the new server. ;_;
Memo said he's still working on getting permissions running. They'll probably be working later today, I'm guessing.Quote:

MY oppologies! I'm not even sure how it happened to try and use the old world!
Please don't kill me! >.>
EDIT: Zim, you have perms now.
Server is pretty interesting..
Might pop in more often when I get permissions. Loving the day/night switch as well as the bridge. :P
Ha, funny character skin:

EDIT: New image from Notch of ravine/dungeon for 1.8 (image has been brightened):

Whelp. it looks like the latest upgrade may have killed residences. I'll fix what i can but until the plugin updates for the bukkit build (1000) it'll be touch and go. since i can roll back griefers then ban 'em that shouldn't be a problem......
EHUM so.. i've kinda not been here, for a eternity.. Is there a new server now and stuff? wanna try join again :p
Same thing with me. What happening nowadays? :PQuote:
