Today as an experiment I tried to recreate my apartment in minecraft.

My apartment's walls aren't a meter thick.

Obviously, the solution is to treat each block as a centimeter and work in 100:1 scale.

If you thought the Minecraft tree griefing video was good, wait till griefers figure out how to forcibly spawn dragons.

Is this the one from the days of creative mode where some dude goes way out of his way to build a huge tree as a cover for piping in lava from way the gently caress away? Or is it something else entirely I haven't seen yet? Because if it is, I must request that it be shared, good sir.

So I found a LARGE ocean seed on SeedMiner.

I'm boating along into the ocean trying to find an isolated island, and I come across two 1x1 glass pillars reaching up into what appears to be the limit in the sky. They both go underwater and into the ground; I don't have any supplies so digging down underwater is pretty hard.

Is this just an oddity from map generating, or is it some strange feature the engine builds on purpose?

Two new posts up in the Simple Redstone blog tonight: a very limited intro to latches/flip-flops, and a demo of a possible use for a latch circuit.

With errors, of course. At least I noticed them this time. :v:

The blog currently has exactly one hit from a google search, and it was for "redstone tutorial for non sperglords". I hope you were satisfied, whoever you are!

I like to think he was working on that issue tirelessly for the last 9 hours and only just now hit upon the solution.

Considering the time in Sweden, he said he'd add phases to moons just before going to sleep and started working on it as soon as he woke up.

The only true law is that which leads to freedom. There is no other.



So the seed Bagels n' cream cheese seems to have given me the minecraftian equivalent of Ireland. It's an island in the middle of a huge ocean covered in verdant fields of grass and no trees. Well, there's two trees, but they're on a tiny island a short distance away. There's also lots of sheep and a village.

I very much enjoyed both of these videos, but for some reason they've got a huge sycophantic following that spams garbage like 'Team Avo Deserves ICECREAM' over and over on one of the servers I frequent like a good Redditor/4-Channer.

This server (a Reddit server, :( I know, ugh) was almost dumb enough to hand over admin controls to some joker from PlanetMinecraft who wanted to 'do a story on our server.' Time for me to migrate, I think. I know I should just comb the Private Server forum, but anyone know a good Goon server that's Survival/PVP and mostly meme/drama free?

besides opening yourself up for server bait, all servers have SOMETHING going on.

We've got a world to accomodate everyone, really. A straight up survival map with neat town/settlement's, a canvas map for doing random poo poo and a regular ol' creative map with lots of themed areas. Give it a look :)

The best part about this is, unless he changes something last minute, the new animated moon graphic is the exact same size as the old one, just repeated 8 times, so it would take a couple minutes tops to cut and paste the old graphic over them and have the old moon with the original non-changing phases.

Wait, is there a pic of the new graphic out yet? Would like to see what it looks like. I will admit I'm a little sad to see the old square moon and sun go away, but moon phases sound cool. And this opens the door for events based on lunar cycles. Maybe wolves will be more prevalent and howl on full moons, or a tough werewolf mob spawns during them, or it's darker and monster spawn more during new moons. Just a few possibilities.

I guess I don't get the problem that people have with the round sun/moon - can't you just change them to whatever you want with a texture pack? I use the three creeper moon from Painterly, there must be dozens of different designs you can put in with mod packs.

Exactly. And to a rational human, what you've effectively got now is better than what you had before - a moon that cycles through a bunch of different moon graphics over time. So if you wanted to you could have Round Full Moon season, Square Moon Season, Three Creeper Moon season and so on. But, y'know. minecraftcommunity.txt

After seeing videos of someone playing L.A. Noire, I don't know if Lewis and Simon are daft or if it's just standard for the area they live in.

But then I don't think that the three of you are separate persons. You all have identical accents and use the exact same manners of speech, even down to the "oh, gently caress <snort>" thing. There is no way in hell that you could be real.

I regret to reveal it this way, but you... you are a computer simulation. Probably a UT2004 bot, judging by how you guys play games. But brighten up, it's better than Minecraft AI! :awesomelon:
