Whew, good thing we kept all the minecon drama stuff out of this thread, now we can focus on what's way more important: Pony show fandom.

Not to derail from that discussion but: has Notch and Co. given any hint as to when we can expect more updates or new gameplay features? I know there has been a lot of talk about updates getting infrequent\stopping (I've been one of those saying that) but is there any indication from Mo-gang that this is what will happen?

Fully functional, but poo poo is still being added and will for some time one would imagine since post-beta users will pay for some of these updates or something??

Considering how long it takes for mojang to put out broken updates and then fix them, i'd much prefer useful NPCs, AI updates and stuff before female sounds. And the drat API!

Just have modders finish Minecraft. Not even Notch adding mods, he always removes fun parts of them, like making pistons push less blocks/not launch you, and making sticky pistons require slime and not allowing them to pull multiple blocks. Also adjustable extension length.

Funny thing is that I think Notch from the start said that "piston-like blocks would never be possible to add"?

So I just covered an entire town in the mushroom spore dirt blocks, under the impression that monsters would not spawn on them. However, waiting out the night and wandering around town, there were still monsters spawning on the sporedirt. Did it get changed for 1.0?

I don't think it's "monsters don't spawn on mycelium", it's "monsters don't spawn in mushroomland biomes." So you made your town more interesting, but to no real end.

Anyway here's hoping a magic system gets added to the game soon. Like, with a mana bar above your hunger meter. Would be even better if you lose pips on your mana bar proportionate to how much armor pips you have, so you have to choose between armor and spellcasting.

Not going to happen, Notch has said that Alchemy and Enchanting were the only magics he wanted in the game, and that there would never be spellcasting, like shooting fireballs and such.

I'm the worst at finding diamonds, does anyone have a way of finding more? I haven't found one and one of my friends is at 17.

I just dig an endless tunnel at level 12. Found 12 diamonds in 3 deposits so far, and don't ever have to deal with monsters since you pretty rarely hit caverns, and when you do they're bottomed with lava most often. Just bring enough gravel (or water) to deal with lava, and you're pretty much set.

I do suggest constructing a rail line to your "mine face" though, as right now I'm nearly 1500 blocks from home and that takes for goddamn ever to run through. I'm pretty much stocked with all other minerals for life too.

So hey I'm having some issues. I'm trying to play minecraft by launching it via java so I can get my steam overlay and mumble overlay to work. It does in fact work too, but I cannot enter fullscreen. This also happens if I play in browser, everything works fine but if I try and fullscreen it I just get a black screen.

Its weird, if I launch the minecraft.exe I can go fullscreen but it doesn't give me my steam overlay or mumble overlay. If I launch it via java I get those two things but I lose the ability to go fullscreen. Any help, or ideas?

Anybody have a clue why my multiplayer server save that I moved over to single player worlds refuses to function properly? It's not even terribly large, but after about 20 seconds, my fps drops somewhere between 1 and 5.

Yeah, I find the nether kinda dull to wander around in and I'm not looking forward to The End, which looks like it has even less cool stuff in it.

I just wish that when Notch got a ton of praise for making a fun sandbox game he'd decided to make it more sandboxy instead of more linear. So much of what he's added since the Nether has been more about giving the player more objectives instead of giving them new stuff to play with.

So, obtaining wool:

Do sheep regrow wool yet? None of my penned ones have yet, so do I have to breed and kill them? Because that seems silly, and if that is the case, I imagine it would be easier to farm string from an abandoned mine.

They don't, so you're just going to have to breed, shear, and murder them.

Dumbest thing he ever did. I'm going to have to tell a bunch of people their dreamland plugin isn't going to work anymore. I wish he would have just left it alone rather than replacing it, because it is such a cool idea.

Mumble overlays work with Minecraft, but I don't think Steam works unless the game is linked against their libraries. Could be wrong on that, but definitely sure Mumble will do it if you've got the switch turned on in Mumble. (There's no setting in Minecraft to do it, Mumble just hooks into the video drivers directly.)

I'm in your boat, there is no way this game should have been released, or priced for 30$ in it's current state. Don't worry about the numerous 10/10 reviews, they are just trying hard to suck at the minecraft community's collective dick.

It works if you launch the minecraft.jar but not if you launch the minecraft.exe. Unless I'm missing something because I have two windows open, one launched via the .jar one launched via the .exe and the .jar has the mumble overlay whereas the .exe does not.

He makes a lot of good points. They really ought to beef up the models in the game, and give them some better animations. That alone would go a long way to making the game more immersive. Or better yet, allow custom character models like they had in Quake 2. How hard could that be to implement?
