[Cthulhu]

Someone had to do it .

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Why do quests and follow a story when all you need to do is dig holes and spend your time aimlessly building homes thinking wtf do i do now.

Inevitably to just log in the next day continuing the cycle.
Its like an mmorpg , except for some reason its alot more appealing x)

It's called From Dust. When it comes out, it will destroy ALL your free time.

holy crap, I didnt realize a world was so huge O_o

If it's true what they say, the map will just keep generating environments and can end up being several times the size of the earth. I think. x_x

Better cookie monster, finished it with a friend yesterday. I'll also post a screenshot of the render (it's a top-down view of the whole world I'm playing on right now). Here's the work in progress list:

The cookie monster, original 32x32 enlarged to 64x64:

Spoiler

Cleared out a 64x64 area from all trees, flattened it, etc. First step, dig out the outline:

Spoiler

Outline all dug out, wewt.

Spoiler

Filling the outline with lava. Quench with water to make black rocks (obsidian).

Spoiler

Outline all filled .

Spoiler

Same, then by day and after some cleaning up:

Spoiler

Quench'd:

Spoiler

Dug out a checked pattern. The holes have to be filled with water. Has to be checkered because else you get uneven flowing water, which is suboptimal. Partially filled with water already down below.

Spoiler

All filled up, blocks removed, I am awesome .

Spoiler

...and wasted far too much hours working on this all week. Fuck this game sucks, die in a fire.

Anyways, I hope all of the multiplayer issues right now will be fixed in the update in two weeks. It sucks that you can't have minecarts and shit in MP, those are completely b0rken and the admins (plus everyone else) treat minecarts like it's cancer and aids combined into an all new horrendous disease, mutating people into something uncouth.

I suggested purging the server with lava if minecarts get built again, .

I'd also like to see the developer create either a plugin system, or to add features like user rights and 'property' and other grief-protection. Right now that's done using a plugin based on decompiled (and obfuscated) game code, :/.

 

[Hisako]

And now to create an allegory world based off TLSF for both lolz and shameless plugging Go fo it brother!

 

[ForceStealer]

Yop - Great freakin' justice.

 

[Cthulhu]

lawl, minecraft.net is down due to a major DDOs attack, or so the guy's Shitter says . Mega fail.

First clones have also started appearing, whose main distinguishing features are higher resolution graphics and a lack of gameplay.

 

[ForceStealer]

Works exactly like the big budget game industry I see

Aye, but in this case the marketing slogan is 'z0mg it's indie!1'. Whereas other people say "I'm lead programming for that-and-that studio working on such-and-such game", this guy says "I'm an indie developer!!11~one".

 

[Ghost X]

I can sense an addiction when I see it, which is why I don't want to play the game. It just looks too awesome, and I'll probably spend too much time on it, and have an even smaller social life, and fail my studies . There's a person on youtube (seananners, I believer) who does interesting videos, which currently quench my potential addiction, so its okay.

 

[Geostigma]

Seananners is great, X's adventures in minecraft is a good series as well but it ends at about 40 episodes(). I saw all of X's vids in one sitting, it took hours but it was worth it xD

 

[Cthulhu]

orite, crosspoasting from FFOF and where I originally poasted it, here is a series of screenshots for a Kokiri Village (from Zelda OoT) in Minecraft, with comparative screenshots in the underlined links.

(I didn't actually make it, just helped out a bit, mainly did the surroundings)

You can look around on the server by going onto minecraft and connecting to mc.grum.nl, you can't do anything (to keep out griefers), but you can look around. When ingame, do /warp park2 and take the wooden path on the right hand side. That'll take you to Lake Cookie Monster. When you reach it, take a left and keep following the wooden park to end up in the village. See here for a map of the server - Lake Cookie Monster is near that brown cube on the right-hand side~ish.

 

[Cthulhu]

Bleh, I spent my day digging down mountains and building oceans. On the one hand, I feel like God. On the other, I feel like I've wasted my time. Still, I get to build a villa on the massive island we thusly created.

Also, it seems our server's quite famous, and possibly the biggest one out there with the biggest projects - see for example Orthanc (the end-result is a set of rings with forests on it, quite impressive. Most time was spent digging it out though.) See also http://beta.tweakcraft.net/map. Another big feat is a massive 500x500 (or something) pixelart of Kerrigan. And a cookie monster, of course.

 

[Interslicery]

So while traversing The Nether for the first time (creepy as shit), after going through a short unlighted section I come across this:

Spoiler

I was amazed.

 

[Cthulhu]

I'm too lazy to play in singleplayer, lol . I really hope the guy can pull single- and multiplayer together soon. And build in instant game modes, like place down a particular bit of rock somewhere to have zombies spawn outside your fortress for an instant zombie defense game of sorts.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

And then this happened.

X

 

[Cthulhu]

lolwut.

Seriously, this has to be the second-most hacked / modded-without-official-modding-support-or-permission game out there, ever . (nethack's been hacked more often, but then, that one's open source).

I can't imagine what would happen if Minecraft was open sourced. If only it hadn't sold as well...

 

[Ghost X]

BlueXephos is also a great youtube channel for Minecraft videos. They got a story and all. I also like their nerdy sense of humour. I've bought minecraft since my last post, and it has not destroyed my life as I thought it would. Woohoo.

 

[Interslicery]

I enjoy watching Man vs Minecraft, where he roleplays being dropped off in the land of minecraft to survive for 14 days for a reality show. He just started season 2 and seems like it'll be a bit more interesting because of somethign that happens at the end of season 1.

 

[Ghost X]

Does anyone here frequent/recommend any particular servers? We could have a special TLS server of our own, but I would have to research how to make one (ie: too much effort ). I got the 1.8 patch, but have yet to find an NPC village or stronghold.

 

[Interslicery]

Im not really into the whole multiplayer part of it.

I've found 2 villages so far, but no strongholds. And it seems liek the experience bar is glitched or something, cause lvling up doesnt do anything :/

 

[Ghost X]

Yeah, I'd say they'll do something with the exp next patch or something. Will be interesting to see what they do with it. I hope the game doesn't start off restricted, and you have to level up in order to use items. I don't think I'd like that.

I think endermen should also sound different to zombies, but at the same time not knowing if you're dealing with a zombie or endermen when you hear them, it adds to the suspense.

 

[Interslicery]

I remember hearing somewhere lvling up is supposed to give you stats to jump higher, more health etc. but it doesnt seem minecraft so i dunno. Tho I could have sworn that came from Notch.

I havnt had much experience with Enderman actually, I ran into him twice, once in a mine shaft where he was stuck and couldnt move, and another just out in the open. Freaky lil buggers

*Revives thread*

Has anyone gotten into Realms yet? It sounds like a nice solution to some of the problems with normal servers (I'm looking at you griefers). With our internet lack-of-speed, multi-player anything is unattainable.
