And now I imagine the Xperia Play version being playable on the PS Vita also, which is just too awesome to imagine.

I doubt it. Unless Sony has decided to make the Vita compatible with Android.

Last night Minecraft's titlescreen text was 'verlet integration!'...is this a new one? Does it mean Notch is adding a better physics engine? Ragdoll mobs would be awesome!

Way way way back notch talked a lot about adding in ragdoll for player and mob deaths but nothing ever came of it sadly (and obviously)

Looks like the Adventure Update (i.e. 1.8)is going to have a :siren:live demo today:siren: around

3:30pm PST / 6:30pm CST / 12:30am(?) GMT

http://mojang.com/2011/08/25/pax-2011-schedule/

1.8 public release as of yet unannounced

Ooh, exciting! But I think your timezones are wrong. 3:30 pm PST seems to be 6:30 EST and 10:30 GMT and therefore 12:30 am CST? if I remember the Dota2 tournaments correctly.

What are those three four textures at the bottom of the terrain.png next to the block-break animation?

Dang, it totally looks like ruins, cracked stone blocks and mossy stone blocks are definitely not in this update. I had completely forgot about them in the first place but so far I can't find anything else Mojang have actively shown us then removed.

I've been farming Endermen in The End, the easiest way to kill them (along with the knockback enchant on my sword) is look only at their legs / feet and attack them, they don't teleport if you're not looking at them. Makes them pretty loving easy. :D

There's probably not enough ram in the computer he's using. Luckily that's an easy fix. If you're not sure what to get, take a picture of the ram and we'll figure it out for you or something.

My house is now a fort:


Nice little castle, dude! I've been making a couple small castles myself and was thinking of starting a little competition, actually. I would love to see who can cram the most stuff into the smallest space (specifically 16x16 -- up to 18x18 for greebles) with the most character.

Anyway, here are mine:

The first is a pretty classically styled castle.


Here's the top-down view, it's pretty simple.


It's got a house,


...Which of course is fully furnished.


And a farm.


And animals.


A parapet from which to defend against intruders.


And a goddam wizard's tower! duh!



My second castle isn't really a castle, however. I decided to go with a more Islamic influence and have it completely open.








What's this then? Stairs?


Ooooh! funky!


Yes, it's like some sort of underground altar/throneroom.


In fact, it's a nether-portal!



So yeah, there's some castles. I highly recommend some of you guys try the same with my parameters, it's pretty darn fun.

edit: oh yeah, the texture pack i'm using is the Eld Pack

Upside-down slabs and stairs do their thing when you place them on the underside of another block. I can't figure out any other way to place them.

They really need to up the pixel count to at least 32x32. 16x16 textures just look ugly after using any of the higher count ones. Just take dokucraft for instance.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, Dokucraft is loving gorgeous, but I guess I just like the big pixel aesthetic.

God, can you imagine trying to figure out Redstone when it was brand new? "Yeah, this blocky mining/building game now has electrical circuits"

It has the same logic it always has, people picked it up pretty darn quickly from what I remember. It's not like they invented a new coding language or some poo poo with redstone, all of the gates and like theories existed before redstone.

Daylight sensor actually. I don't think it does anything but it's a little bit shorter than the slab and what Jamesman used. Resource pack is called Conquest_.zip (v5.0). I can't tell you any more because I probably haven't played Minecraft in over a year.
