Wow, if anyone with a ton of XP dies in a way that their XP globes are stuck in Physics, it basically kills the map.

My SMP was basically locked up until I managed to crawl over to where the person died and absorb the XP. The XP which absorbed for like three minutes straight :geno:

My only mistake was being too good

Creepers seriously need to be restricted to a 2x1 blast radius or at the very least return all the blocks they destroy and not just half. I don't even care about dying to them, just give me my blocks back.

So has Bethesda actually released any sort of vicious press release about this or are they just going through the motions as fast as possible because they know they have to at least try to defend their trademark to set a precedent ??

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.



Also 1.9pre4 is out

Notch went from being a one man team to an entire company in two years that is one hell of a growth spurt. Sadly the bad thing with big business is the bigger you are the less you can relate to a single person. His issues went from being this line of code is messed up to hey I am being sued by another company. People have a hard time with change :(

I'm pretty sure this is why people like/don't hate Jeb. 80% of his tweets are "Wowie zowie how is this happening" "Welp fixed that glitch" and the 20% are weird music he likes. He's become more relatable than Notch really

The Technic Pack (more specifically Buildcraft/Industrialcraft) may help to give more a "set up" period. Work towards building and designing a quarry then reap the benefits of autocollected materials for a pseudo-Creative mode.

Why didn't infimniner or whatever it was called do this?

RPS: I’d imagine that creating the precursor to the million-selling MineCraft would raise conflicting emotions. Do you ever lie awake at night, howling into your pillow?

Zach Barth (Infiniminer creator): The act of borrowing ideas is integral to the creative process. There are games that came before Infiniminer, and there are games that will come after MineCraft. That’s how it works.

In that note, here's a map someone put together of the starting positions and tracks of the players for the first episode of season 5

Jeff Goldblum Kurt definitely didn't spawn over there. It seems like it was actually here and super-close to Pakratt (if that's even accurate)

Holy poo poo no one's making you watch them. No one's propping your eyes open Clockwork Orange-style and blasting you with twelve 30 minute videos until you're free to post about Minecraft again.

Yeah I was mainly thinking of pictures and whatnot but even if it does take a little more effort a map is a blank slate, whereas books will always look like books and you're limited to the text formatting Jeb decides to put in.

It's important to remember that Notch doesn't actually play Minecraft, it's his coding sandbox for halfhearted game mechanics he's seen in games he likes to play. I guarantee you've put more thought into how the game plays than he has

Just being able to make it into a block that you can break down back into dust for storage would be great. Getting a silk touch pick and storing it that way is a pain.

I don't understand what you want that storing one thousand seven hundred and twenty eight redstone dusts in the space of a single block with a chest can't do

Having a shiny red block would be cool and using less space to store more things is always good. I don't get why you'd be against that.

I'm not against it, I just think it's less than useless really. And before I go on I'll clarify now that I understand they can easily add both, but I'd really like for them to focus on implementing something like the Mine/Hack gameplay elements or the Dwarves vs. Zombies game mode before they add another half-baked block
