Loving Life Partner posted:Would be really great if they started their own mines with a sense of ownership, and also would take up arms against you to protect their territory They're supposed to respond poorly if you piss them off. Of course they may just respond poorly. Hopefully the reason we're not getting NPCs yet is because they're trying to get them to work smoothly. Though I think I'd prefer if they just held onto villages and waited to release them with the NPCs.

King Hotpants posted:But you're not supposed to enjoy dying. That's the point. It makes you not want to die. The reality of it, what I consider to be an exorbitant punishment, just makes me want to not play. It's needlessly frustrating and excessive, and the threat of death could still be there even without going to the extreme lengths it does now. I think there could be other ways to make the player exercise caution around lava, for instance, than making him dump his entire inventory into a chest first. I'm not saying there should be no punishment, I'm just saying you don't need to go so far to make a player not want to die, especially with upcoming features like the XP bar.

It looks like most of the world-gen changes will be in for 1.8, right? I've been jonesin' to start a new world but am waiting for the patch, and I'm wondering if 1.9 will change it all again. Seems like so far 1.9 is for the actual NPCs and experience skills and poo poo, nothing about world-gen.

I like the like... experience orbs that pop out and fly over to you when you kill something. It reminds me of when you kill something in Kingdom Hearts, and have the magnet thing and all the HP and mana and Munny come flying over to you.

Well done Notch Additionally, this means that if you're working on a complicated build and a cow or chicken walks in and starts pushing you around, you don't have to actually kill them to make them go away, which is nice. ...though that point's going to be moot since I'll need to kill them to make sure I have enough food. Argh, stop making survival a total Roguelike, Notch.

Back when New Vegas' staff announced Hardcore mode I was just all "gently caress yeah", because it's a genuinely good idea. Then the reality hit me that hardcore mode kind of fuckin' sucks. Hopefully the food bar in Minecraft drains slower than the need for water in NV - I don't want to have to have a bread farm just in case pig spawns aren't reliable.

I don't know, it seems pretty good. It prevents you from having to eat during combat in order to heal up. If you're not planning on being in combat or using sprint (or what ever else uses up food), I assume you probably don't need to keep topping up the food meter. Food stacking is pretty awesome as well, that's bound to add to the game if you don't have to have a million porkchop slots, and if you can cook pork as stacks finally.

i've just returned the Chain World to Danyull. had an entertaining few hours and made a nether portal for any future people to explore (going to the nether is dangerous!) faceplanted into a lava lake. the portal is located in the island tower's top floor, nice cozy building btw.

crazylakerfan posted:Oh god, someone needs to make a Lemmings mod. If 1.8/1.9/2.0 supports "unbreakable" custom maps where you can give players X blocks in their starting inventory, this would be an interesting SP map mode. The game would have to support more than 10 (or whatever) mobs in a small area though; so you could drop them through a hole in the floor with pistons when you were ready.

I've finally gotten back into MC because of 1.8 coming soon. I've only read the last 4-5 pages of this thread, so forgive me if this has been beaten to death, but will I have to regen a new world once it hits? I know that, normally, you have to explore new chunks in order to have new stuff appear, but will this be any worse than that?

Even if they don't keep the original plan, there will DEFINITELY be a mod to disable it. That's why I don't complain that much about new features anymore: I realized that if Notch implements a feature or mob that you don't like, chances are someone who can mod properly doesn't like it either.

I think the best effect the food bar could have is a positive one. Instead of punishing the player for not eating he should be rewarded for keeping it full. Health regeneration, sprinting, more damage/speed while fighting and faster mining would all be excellent motivations to keep fed. Lowering my health though, i feel pushed around. Which kinda does not fit into minecrafts general design, i think.

A little while ago I built a cart hub in SMP that has a few drops and pistons pushing you around to get you to your destination. This was working fine for about a week, occasionally on a drop you would take half a heart of damage but it was no big deal. Now however, rather than taking a little bit of damage from a drop or being pushed by a piston you just die instantly. Does anyone know why this would start happening all of a sudden and if there is a way to fix it. I was hoping to find a mod that would fix it but haven't found one yet.

Which kinda does not fit into minecrafts general design, i think. Eh, it'll only kill you if you're playing on hard, and even then it likely won't be a big deal, other than the first few days, it's ridiculously easy to have a surplus of food, and food will be stackable again, so even better. It really needs a negative side in order to have a positive. It's kind of like the talk about getting killed that was going on earlier, someone said they liked the danger of being killed, but didn't like the penalty. Well, if the penalty didn't exist, neither would the risk and excitement. There should be penalties to dying, currently it's just warp back to spawn, you don't lose your items unless you're dumb and fall into lava, or you don't think ahead enough to keep some spare armour and weapons at your spawn (seriously, do it, life will be much easier.) I'm looking forward to more penalties honestly, lately when I've been playing multiplayer and have been low on health, rather than finding food, I've just been packing my items away and killing myself. That's hilariously broken. EXP and perks are gonna be awesome.

I really hope someone mods out hunger once 1.8 comes out, because if there's anything I hate it's wandering around on the surface grinding wool/leather/pork/feathers/wood for ages. Also having to come up to the surface for more wood already sucks. I like how peaceful is going to be the only difficulty that doesn't hurt you for not eating. E: vvvv I actually cheated when I almost fell in lava using the Equivalent Exchange mod because I wasn't going to lose 30-60 diamonds worth of equipment from one death, plus my destruction catalyst.
