Ak Gara posted:MCPatcher fixes that. I've run MCpatcher, and it's definitely working (I have the custom water/lava/biome shading, etc), but while spiders are properly textured now, I'm still getting pure white endermen. edit: apparently there was a more recently updated version of MCPatcher than the one I had. Giving that a go now. 2nd edit: nope, still got bugged Endermen with the latest version of MCPatcher. edit: apparently it's just one of the Painterly alternate skins that's bugged ("classic" IIRC). Changed to one of the others and redownloaded the pack, and now they work fine. Odd. arhra fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Sep 19, 2011 |

Jervas Dudley posted:It looks like someone wrote a detailed explanation of hunger on the wiki. This should clear up some of the confusion. The biggest detail is "food saturation" which is an invisible variable raised by food that is depleted before the visible food level. This is why the meter seems to tick down more slowly from full. If both the food level and the food saturation level are full than it takes the same amount of activity to lose the first half a point as it does to lose all the points. I think that's a cool touch. Healthy foods like meat, bread, and melons give a lot of saturation relative to how much they fill your hunger bar, while unhealthy food, raw meat, and rotten flesh barely keep you full. Cookies give you almost nothing, for instance. Also the system made golden apples better too. Not enough to justify spending 72 gold on, but at least it keeps you full for twice as long as a steak.

I have never understood why golden apples use full blocks of gold instead of ingots. And you would think now, with the hunger bar and RPG elements, that something as rare as a golden apple would permanently lengthen your hunger bar or life bar or something.

At least, it would give some kind of goal. I was excited to play Minecraft with the new update, but I found that all I did was find a village and move into an empty house, then explore some ravines and mineshafts, and then get bored again with no goal to move me forwards. Working towards permanent character upgrades is a tried and true method of creating gameplay without much effort, I wish Notch would jump on that train.

Yeah, my friends and I have been really excited for 1.8 for a long time, because the proposed feature list made it look like it would finally add some gameplay, or just a reason to do things. Turns out it was nothing but a hunger bar, sprinting, and new world generation. The world gen is fantastic now, but there's still no reason for me to actually play the game because there's nothing I haven't done or seen before. It's really stunning just how little content has been added to this game since I bought it back when it first came out, there have been lots of very minor features added, like fishing, hunger, or new blocks, but they still have no real interaction with gameplay. It's like a feature gets added, then instead of getting fleshed out and made intregal to the gameplay, it's forgotten about and more barebones features are added.

With the XP bar they've at least bought a ticket. We'll see where that goes later on when it actually does something, I suppose.

Ok, sorry for filling up this thread with my dumb questions, but I just have one more. I'm trying to get a server properly set up, but I can't find a way to allow people in a group with the Permissions mod to have the ability to whitelist. So far as I've found out now, the only way to give them the ability to whitelist is to give them full op, which is... less than desirable. Anyone have any experience with this? Lots of googling hasn't turned anything up yet.

I really hope someone can help me out here - I just downloaded the fix for the OpenGL fix posted on the last page and I can't get it to work, much like any mod on OSX. Let me walk through this and tell me what I'm doing wrong: 1) Application Support/Minecraft/bin/ and change name of minecraft.jar to .zip, open folder contents 2) Replace class files with replacements in mod folder 3) Delete META-INF folder 4) Take contents and compress 5) Take Archive.zip and move it back to the /bin folder 6) Rename to minecraft.jar, accept prompt to use .jar But now when I run minecraft, it'll crash to a black screen. Any ideas?

I'm sure this has been discussed, but I haven't read this thread at all. Is there any way to make minecraft not run horribly with 1.8? It was totally fine before the update, but now it's basically unplayable.

Are you sure Notch has switched over to JDK 7? I'd assume his jar would have to be compiled in 7 in order to gain any benefits from running it in 7.

A great deal of Java's performance comes from the quality of the JIT compiler, and it is possible that Java 7 is noticeably improved in that regard.

There was a creeper in the park of our multiplayer town. At night. How fitting. Also freaking Endermen keep ruining the walls we built up to keep other mobs out. Earlier tonight I looked out at my garden and saw an Enderman pulling up blocks and stepping all over my crops! He got in through the wall right behind there. I guess the water mote wasn't enough to kill him. drat you Endermeeeeeeen

I'm finding that a 2-wide, 4-deep moat with a raised edge on the side you don't want them being does in Endermen pretty well. .......D -> Town DWWD DWWD DWWD DWWD Basically. (D=Dirt, W=Water. Replace materials as you see fit.)

A lot of people are complaining about endermen. I haven't had a problem with them yet. Here are some neat tricks I found out: - They can't pick up slabs or fences. - Vines prevent them from grabbing the blocks behind the vines. - They don't tend to spawn around pumpkins (Although this needs serious testing) - Endermen can pick up blocks behind another, but only in rare, certain cases. - They only grab blocks from 0-3 layers from their feet. - They are just  Shoot, even fighting them is a joke: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S8ACksEDLo To be fair, I think notched just dropped the ball on the function of them. They don't aggro properly, the zombie sounds make them feel flat, and their block moving is just random at best. I was hoping these things to roam around a certain area, just taking up multiple blocks and building strange structures, only aggroing if you just keep staring at them. Ah well.

So, I've been digging through the deobfuscated source via Mincraft coder pack to investigate making a height-limit mod. When Notch said that he got the height limit down to one variable, he must have meant only in the worldgen. There are still tons of places where it checks to see if trees, or huge mushrooms, etc. can grow/spawn against just 128. From a cursory overview you might not even be able to place blocks above 128 if you just modify the worldgen parameters

There's lots of dodgy stuff happening when you compile and decompile.

JoeyDK87 posted:A lot of people are complaining about endermen. I haven't had a problem with them yet. Here are some neat tricks I found out: Our new spawn town is right on the edge of a really dense forest. Those chunks are almost always active at night. As a result, the bottom three "trunk" blocks of almost all of the trees have disappeared. This is happening around other build projects that see the same active chunks night after night. Huge chunks of the map are barely explored, but they're "floating forests". If they added tree blocks to the list of unmovable objects, that would help tremendously. I will repair roads and parts of houses, but I don't have time to fix trees, of all things.
