jazz babies posted:I need help! First I would go to https://www.java.com and download the latest version of it. This stopped my Minecraft from crashing. If that doesn't work try running the game in a browser instead of standalone. For your minecart problem, did you try to dig a hole under them and then bury the carts and build over? I never saw that happen before.

I just finished up with Terraria, how close/similar is it to minecraft? I really liked it, but after getting all the top tier gear, there wasn't much left to do as the 2D really limits the creativity you can put into building structures.

If building structures is what you're looking for, Minecraft is the better choice. I agree that two dimensions was very limiting in Terraria. However, the combat/gameplay of Minecraft is much more shallow without mods. (We'll see what 1.8 brings, though.)

It got to the point where i was like "just leave me the gently caress alone and let me work".

I feel like this when I'm building something big. I honestly wish I would expedite the process of building what's essentially a large cobblestone square. But if you've got a friend exploring a new cave can actually be a lot of fun on a server. It'll probably be more fun with the update to combat.

Woohoo, i have coal and now i've got torches. This is definitely going to take a bit of getting used to, particularly in what should be the initial building order of things. The game is buggy as gently caress though. It crashed once when i jumped into a nearby shallow pool of water and in the last 2 times i've run the game, the sound has stopped working.

You may want to make sure that java's up to date on your machine, if you're getting crashes like that just running the straight-up vanilla game.

Just remember, charcoal (the coal you get from burning logs) is terribly inefficient when used as a fuel for your furnace, so it's pretty much only fit for making torches.

It doesn't really matter, anyway. Once you start cave exploring, you'll find more coal than you'll ever use.

1 log = 1 charcoal = 8 fully "cooked" object 1 log = 4 planks = 8 sticks = 4 fully "cooked" objects E: Nevermind, I knew I was going to screw that math up. Actually, it's best to go with charcoal after all. Gaspar Lewis fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Aug 23, 2011 |

Gaspar Lewis posted:It works... but you can get way more furnace power from the original wood, broken up into sticks. You're wrong. One charcoal provides 8 fuel, exactly like coal. 7 when you account for the cost of making it.

Made more headway. Now i have a bed! (and a first attempt at a mine down the back end of my expanded hovel. It's a lot of work though (a lot more than Terraria) so playing with other goons on a group task seems like it might be a lot more appealing to me. Oh, are there mods to make things like the pickaxe have infinite health? I prefer the way Terraria did things with the tools in that you could use one forever, but they ranged from really weak to being super strong.

I usually use the saplings from the first tree to fuel the logs and get coal that way.

There's mods for everything, but they're fairly often gigantic pains in the rear end. Here's the goon thread on Minecraft mods, though it fairly often descends into madness and Yogscast sycophancy. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3430195 My advice would be to play it straight for a while---after an hour or two of play, you'll be swimming in enough iron to make as many picks as you'll need to mine out a ton of diamond---diamond picks easily last long enough to find enough diamond for even more diamond picks.

DoubleDown11 posted:I don't know if this is appropriate for this thread or not but I'm going to ask anyway: I would only get the Zino if you *really* want a tiny box computer, as the normal mini- or slim-tower has ridiculously better performance for the same money. But if you are, the cheaper Athlon II X2 cpu will actually perform better in minecraft (and most day-to-day tasks too). It only has 2 cores vs the phenom's 4, but at 2.3ghz is much faster. Minecraft needs mods like optifine just to use 2 cores, so it can't even use half the Phenom X4. lizzyinthesky posted:Throw an SSD in that and you should be fine. The Phenom there is a bit slowish but should be plenty for minecraft.

Klyith posted:Huge disagreement here. An SSD is not going to improve the performance of a computer like that -- and I doubt would ever help minecraft in any computer under normal circumstances. Minecraft is actually limited quite a bit by hard drive read speed, in loading/unloading chunks. SSD would /definitely/ serve well there.

Wasn't notch supposed to fix the lava bucket in furnace killing the bucket thing in a prior patch? I swear I read that somewhere but lo and behold, it's still disappearing. I'd love to use lava as a fuel source if it weren't so expensive due to the iron cost.
