Vib Rib posted:Bethesda could actually gain some PR if they agreed, though. Just one problem. What happens when they want to file a lawsuit that has an actual basis? That person/company will demand that they be treated the same and allowed their deathmatch. And, should Bethesda lose, they have now lost control of actual intellectual property. Notch really has put them in a lose/lose situation. Doesn't change the fact that the lawsuit is bullshit, but Bethesda now has no way to withdraw gracefully.

I'm posting this as a farewell to my old creation. Starting in 1.3, I resolved to make a city that was impregnable to hostile mobs. Not just "they can't spawn here", I wanted it to be "They can't get here." And thus was born: My floating island. From the other side:  It's  really  big. Did I mention that it's solid? According to my calculations, there are approximately 61,000 blocks just in the cone of the island, nevermind including the buildings. The exterior alone is roughly 7,125 blocks. And the only way up is on these docks:  This ladderway here:  Is in place of the old water elevator that I had to scrap.   Before I post the pictures of the random buildings I populated this island with, I want to show one thing. A friend asked, "Where the gently caress did you get all that stone?" Well, if you go to the second picture, you'll see what looks like a dirt house with trees on it. That was essentially where I spawned and it was my first house on this map. So many mobs ambushed me from above this door:  This was my original sleeping and storage while I accumulated materials:  Which I got by making this staircase:  Which leads  down to  The Vault.  It's roughly 115 blocks by 70 blocks and 7 blocks high. There are 228 columns and 912 torches, thus ensuring mining safety. It's not big enough to give me all the stoneI needed, but I got enough by getting bored occasionally and heading out to adventure. Screenshot for depth:  Which is necessary, because a lot of people were asking how to get slimes. This thing is almost a slime generator. Every second time I came down here, there was at least one slime and once I almost got killed by a loving mob of them. Here are the pelts of a couple (easy) kills:  And that concludes the informative part of the tour. Those three of you who're still interested, here are (in order)the guard tower/anchor building, restaurant, incinerator, granery, construction supply storage, lighthouse, and inn.                 Farewell, old friend. I shall remember you as I upgrade to 1.8.

Megadace posted:This is absolutely incredible, how long did it take you to make all of this? As best as I can figure, I spent about 100 hours on this seed. That includes mining, building, and exploring when I got bored. I've found that listening to books on tape/CD/mp3 helps a lot. Nita posted:Why not MCedit your island into a new world? It's what I did with my floating island when the Halloween update hit and broke the terrain. Whenever I get bored of a world I save my island as a schematic and put it in a new one. That way I have a nice base to start on with new world to explore. I'd considered that, but I think I want to move on to a new slate. If I end up editing the island in, it'll be after the Beta's done and will probably be in whatever area I end up using as a showcase (and I definitely plan on finding a seed that'll give me a large plains biome that I can use just to show off creations).

I went exploring in my first mining complex ever. The mine was only accessible by a hole in the ocean (fortunately right near the surface). Over the course of an hour and a half, I explored a grand total of about a third of a kilometer of linear paths (never going below about y=35), filled my inventory, and ran screaming like a little girl from a spider rush when I decided to try to take out just one more spider spawner and my last sword broke on a loving cobweb. I remember my first time playing back around 1.2. Mining had me on edge, granted, but I was more curious about what was around the corner than scared. My roommate came in half way through this most recent trip to ask why I had screamed. I had to explain that a spider had dropped on my head while I was mining in what I had previously assumed was a safe area. I haven't enjoyed exploration this much since I started playing the game. Time to go hunt down more clay and start building my own town. Am I the only one that takes an odd amount of pleasure in finding, harvesting, and baking clay?

Right, I've looked through the last two dozen pages, can't find the answer, but I know it's been posted at least once before. How do I switch from survival to creative? I need about 2000 m2 of lava, and gently caress heading to the Nether that much. Bastard pig-men ganged up on me twice when I tried to shoot down a harassing Ghast and one of the pig-men stepped in front of my arrow. And besides, I also need to dig up a desert and I'm only doing 1 stupid-long project for this. Also, can we get the answer put into the OP? I've got this feeling that I'm something like #10 to ask this. Edit: Still on 1.8 if that matters.

Before harvesting iron: 1) Harvest lots of trees. 2) Use saplings to plant more trees 3) Harvest those trees 4) Split the wood up so you have a 50/50 mix of sticks/charcoal 5) Create three or four stacks of torches Now go mining and just light the hell out of any place where you're digging. Keep an eye around you when you've found a seam and you might to even be able to adventure without armor.

I have to admit that since I finished my first (and only) large project, I've kinda been just futzing around in MC. Fly around a bit in creative, maybe throw a house together and wander an area for about a week, explore a cave here or there, but that's it. It's gotten kinda... dull. What I like is the crafting bit, assuming I can find a decent seed to craft in, but I also like having to be careful about it and I like the element of danger that the mobs bring. How do you guys keep from getting bored with the game, and (since the seed thread seems to have disappeared) does anyone know a good seed that has tall, thick mountains? Not just the spines that are 10-20 across, I mean at least 40 or more blocks thick at the top.

For my last project I did the "Gigantic Mine" method of getting stone and decided to try a cobblestone generator for my new one. Right now I've got it set up like so:code:code:W = water C = cobblestone L = lava B = Blank (where I stand to harvest) My question is this. I probably lose 1/3 to 1/2 of all the stone I mine to it bouncing into the lava. Is there a way to alleviate that? Or at least reduce it? I know I can't avoid it happening completely, but I'd like to get it down as low as possible. I know I can build these relatively large and elaborate structures but I'm hoping there's a more space-efficient method. And either way, I know it'll take a while. I'm going to need at least 7000 (which I then have to cook into smoothstone) for this project.

bango skank posted:Is there any kind of resource site that has pictures of different types/styles of buildings to use for ideas in building your own? I'm planning a small town/city(~500x500meters) that I'm going to build by hand on the server a friend and I have and need lots of building ideas and different design elements to make sure there's variety to the place. I've got a perimeter wall, a central cathedral, residential district, a jail of some sort, a park or two, and maybe a barracks planned, but that still only takes up at most a third of the space so I've got plenty of room to fill and don't want it to be all just generic box buildings. Give each neighborhood or block its own feel. Maybe all of the houses have black roofs or have sandstone walls or are all circular or something. Make a neighborhood where all the houses are up in big trees. Make a rural neighborhood where there are like three houses and an absolutely staggering amount of wheat, sugarcane, and livestock. This way you can say something like, "Hey, meet me over in the Black Roof neighborhood, I wanna show you this house that came out perfect" or something. You'll have good landmarks for navigation and wandering around will show diversity. Also, if you're on a river or ocean, you should definitely have a dock and warehouse section. And off of that dock, you can build boats.

You can see a couple people standing off from a structure a ways for a little while a few times. I think they're seeing how some idea or design looks. Also, you can see a few times (especially in the beginning) where some things get built, taken down, and then rebuilt. So probably one or two people putting a little bit of construction work in but mainly acting as "architects". Like I think people were told to "make something boat-shaped" in the harbor and as long as they used wood no one made any comment. As for cooperation, just play with folks on your server for a few months and those that are on or have shown commitment to group builds get invited to the super-awesome Aquila map. Those that don't or that grief just aren't invited.

simosimo posted:I'm trying to discern the two play styles of both world types in Minecraft. I decided to snag TooManyItems. It's a nice halfway point. If you don't want to go look for enough clay to slowly bake into bricks, you can just get yourself as many bricks as you drat well want. And if you don't want to scaffold your way up to the roof of your church to put up that solid gold cross, switch over to Creative for a minute, fly up, fly down, and switch off Creative. This is important, because if you're hovering a foot off the ground and switch off Creative, you will insta-gib upon contact with the ground. Also, you can see what something looks like at night or in the rain just by clicking a button. If that doesn't do it for you, yeah, you might be burnt out.

Coleman posted:Considering how common Abandoned Mineshafts are, I think you're doing yourself an injustice by caring one around. When you're down in a cave just try and find a mineshaft, knock down a couple of the wood planks, make a new crafting table. That's what I usually do, it doesn't always work because you're not *always* in an Abandoned Mineshaft but they're common enough that you can usually find one. I think the complaint is that you need to go out of your way to do something to craft things that are used all the freaking time. Why not have "basic" recipes, such as all tools and weapons, be createable in your inventory and have the "advanced" stuff like minecarts need a separate crafting table? If all I'm doing is going on a stone-mining expedition, I'd like to be able to carry a stack of sticks and save the rest of the space for tools, a stack of food, and all the freaking stone I'm going to be hauling back. Or hell, if I'm doing an extended build (a bridge for example), that stack of 64 can add up if I'm making multiple trips back to my storage hut.

So, and If I am correct, the water level was at about 64 and the sky topped off at 128. It looks like Jeb is changing the game so it naturally has a 256 ceiling with water still at 63 or 64. More room for upwards statue and skyscraper building. There's also a mod that will increase the height limit, but you'd be better off heading to the mod thread to find it.

Jamesman posted:Well, yeah... There's already a road, and I'm going to add trees and grass, but I don't know how or where to add them to improve the flow without furthering the contrast between the buildings. Generics advice like "add trees" doesn't help much. Keep some common theme between houses. Same roof material and style, same front, something like that. Look at the big suburban communities in the US. Those all have some pretty striking similarities. Same general shape but half have the garage on the opposite side of the first half! Or whatever thing you think is similar but not boring-as-hell. I usually try to stick to things like a similar shape but with different woods for the structure. Actually, try looking at some Let's Builds. I prefer Sjin from the Yogscast. Lately he's been building Dale/Erebor, and I think he did a pretty good job with Dale (he starts building houses around 4:30). If you don't like his style, try another, I know they're out there.

Basically the terrain generator picks a random spot in a chunk and runs a number of tests (probably special rules for each feature type) to see if it can place a feature there. If that fails it will try somewhere else until it succeeds or exceeds the maximum number of tries. So like if a crevasse or part of a mine shaft is in the way, that kind of thing? Does that mean that ores are generated last?
