Sometimes gameplay has to trump realism. Sure, you can't really expect to stack bowls of soup up in reality. But come on, this just means no one will ever use Mushroom Stew.

Thanks. I had skimmed it before but must have missed that bit. That's a bit odd that it's the only exception, especially now that it's benefit is on par with cooked pork and steak. Oh well, at least I can be a mobile bakery now.

Yes! Incidentally, the former happens if you enter "GREATEST SEED EVER". "shipwreck" spawns you on a small island with one tree.

No, because some people are actually interested in and use the ocean seeds. I know I've used some from this thread.
Conversely I've never ran off to a seed because it had a really big cave.

Do all seeds start with giant oceans and tiny islands now or what? I just started a new 1.8 world and there was no trees on my island so I swam for 10 minutes to find one that did have a tree on it. Now I've hollowed out a little hovel of sorts on my tiny island, have half a heart left, and a skeleton in the basement. Slowly growing trees during the day to make torches.

I don't think that's the reason. When you eat your soup, you are left with the empty bowl occupying the slot. The best solution to this would be to make stacked soups unusable.

This is really slow if your island doesn't have much grass and you're too weak (because of starvation) to kill skeletons for bone meal. I've found its easier to just go explore a cave and hunt zombies.

It's really weird that zombies have become a food source. Normally they're the ones trying to eat your flesh. Maybe the player is the real zombie.

Probably has something to do with the soup returning an empty bowl once you eat it.

Or just throw the bowl to the ground. Not that big of a deal to pick it up again, or make a new one if you where dumb enough to eat soup over lava. Or leave the stew as is but give some kind of added benefit. Perhaps as a cure for food poisoning?

It's obscene how quickly the hunger meter goes away before you start leveling up. What's that? I jumped once? Well, time to eat three loving pork chops before all my health disappears!

On another note the terrain generation is fabulous and whatever they've done with the lighting system is beautiful.

I like that this update added the groundwork for NPCs in the game... but its also the update that added endless oceans, huge cave canyons, empty villages, and a creepy alien enemy. All combined, the game is now even MORE lonely.

And I seriously love that lonely cast away feeling.

Or make it give a random temporary hallucinogenic power of varying usefulness. Maybe sometimes you would sense mobs through walls, or maybe you'd become 'invisible' to mobs. You would have a good reason to keep a few at hand, but you couldn't carry too many of them.

Or just make them stackable. I don't care, I don't like mushrooms IRL so I don't like them in games either...

The Battle Axe: Mar 30, 2011

For those of you who would prefer a more 'normal' map instead of an island start with few trees, I propose the seed "friendship is magic y'all" (or 859100400). In the initial starting area (defined by me as roughly the area that the map item in Minecraft will map) there are (at least): three ravines, two abandoned mines, two villages, one of each biome, and several open air lava and water flows/pools.

Cartographer:

My spawn point was located somewhere on that small, sparsely treed peninsula right off of the desert there. Rough coordinates:

I explored the ocean first having originally thought I spawned on a small island. To my surprise I managed to find both an underwater ravine/abandoned mine AND an underwater cave.

Cave:

Ravine:

Next I moved on to the main continent, focusing on that plateau above the forest biome. I expected to find the usual small mountain caves, but instead found some pretty picturesque locations. Pics:

Next I found one mountain which I have nicknamed 'The Hub' because it's interior cave system seemingly connects to everything. Located at the openings seen here:

Inside:

Exploring the branches off of the gravel pile in the second picture, you'll eventually come to a ravine and who knows what else. Surprisingly I found another mountain cave basically next door, but this one was enclosed. Having roughly five openings all leading immediately to the outside, it would be perfect for a building site.

Some openings:

The interior:

Near the village nearest that plateau, you can find another ravine and mine though two openings. One is more of a straight drop down while the other is more stair-like and safer (less-fun). This can be located around these coordinates:

That is basically the extent of my exploration as my laptop can only handle so much. I know for a fact there are two ravine openings I didn't take screenshots of. One is bisected by the river between the plateau and desert, and the other is near that stone area within the woody biome above the desert; you can't miss either of them if you keep your eyes open.

I haven't even noticed that leveling up does anything at all. Is there a list somewhere of what exactly it's supposed to do? At the moment it just seems like the bar fills up and then resets and that's it.

suavebaby spawns you on a teeny-tiny island in the middle of a vast ocean with no trees.

Okay, this is getting really interesting now. Further to the south is another island with a tree, and there is also a cavern that leads into a stronghold!

Leveling doesn't affect how fast you get hungry. It doesn't do anything at all, in fact.

Since 1.8 I decided to start using one of those seeds on a tiny island with one tree and it's been immensely fun at first just doing basic survival stuff like farming and fishing (because no friendly mobs spawn there) and moving on to developing the island for my own purposes, and eventually mapping the ocean for other tiny islands to build up.

Sometimes the launcher will just sit there attempting to log in forever, while the older straight to main menu exe will login fine, do you still have that laying around?

Probably because you were sprinting around or jumping like a lunatic. That eats up hunger like nothing else.

I feel kind of weird calling it the Hunger Meter. Losing hunger shouldn't be the state where you take damage. Perhaps Food Meter, or Belly Meter, or for you guys that are into rotten flesh, the Braaaaains Meter.

And I just pasted that quoted line into a new shortcut. Windows filled in the rest of the pathing. Windows is probably incorrect in this case.

And it is. With a quick swapup to java being in Program Files and some quotes where necessary, the server is launching.

Put the minecraft_server.jar file anywhere you want.

Create a text document, and paste this:

code:

java -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui

and save it as start.bat, in the same folder that minecraft_server.jar is in.

Double click it, and the server will start. Don't bother with the .exe, you don't need it.
