I'm an unwashed heathen who plays with a Wii Classic Controller. For me, the worst part about 1.8 is dash being a doubletap. I hate doing that with analog sticks.

Does minecraft have gamepad support? I wouldn't mind trying it with a 360 controller.

I use Joy2Key with a profile specifically for mapping the classic controller buttons to Minecraft keyboard/mouse controls.

Edit: I recommend putting jump, crouch, attack, and place block to the shoulder buttons. Those are what you'll want to use most with both thumbs on the sticks.

I understand you're trying to imply that I don't read the thread, and you're correct. However my questions didn't show up in the last couple of pages, and they aren't in the OP, and expecting me to read 80+ pages of people posting about their favorite seeds is demanding a lot and it's not going to happen. Rather, you can get over it and answer my question, or ignore my post and not respond at all. Either way, the content of the thread is improved.

There should be an animal crate tool that makes animals portable/storable as inventory items. How does putting a cow in a big wooden crate make it possible to carry 64 of them one-handed? Who cares. Makes more sense than working with eggs. Recipe could be something like a chest with iron bars in the middle.

Honestly, the best thing that notch could put in would be being able to put your maps on the wall. I'd love to be able to compose a map of the world.

I've wanted wall-mountable clocks or a grandfather clock for the longest time. The game needs more home furnishings in general. I keep going to build mansions, then running out of things to do with rooms.

Build a "frame" before going through the effort of filling in the walls. It will save time and help you decide if a room needs to be larger/smaller, or if the walls should be an even or odd number of blocks in length.

I think it would be cool if Endermen were more dangerous and spawned in groups, but limited their terrain-scrambling to a small area around their spawn. They would spawn rarely in the world, but continue to do so in the same spot every night until you kill them. During the day, you'd just see a bunch of disorganized blocks and think "I better steer clear of here at night..."

I was building on the water, and I hosed up, and now I've got some underwater currents going on. The sound of running water going constantly.

I managed to find a few of them and stop them, but I still hear more and can't find them. Is there either an easy way to locate these noisy bastards, or at least a non-intrusive construction to guarantee that I'll fix them?

Install Optifine and turn on clear waters so you can see better?

Edit: Actually, MCEdit might be helpful. You could probably use the fill tool on the lake to turn the water source blocks into moving water, then turn use the tool again to make it all source blocks (including the moving water you can't find). I'm not 100% sure the fill tool works that way though, and I can't check because MCEdit won't open right now for some reason...

Though it is pretty stupid that you have to do other things while you're playing a game in order to play the game.

Except you don't? You can get by just fine in Normal difficulty only ever using un-enchanted iron equipment. I don't know about Hard/Hardcore, but I think building a farm to abuse game mechanics for infinite/free items and XP without danger isn't really in the spirit of opting for more challenging gameplay. But to each his own.

I see enchanting as like a small reward for playing a long time and braving the tougher monsters. It's not something you really have to put deliberate effort towards (though dashing around the plains at night and killing all the monsters can be fun).

What a loving bizarre concept. Commercial licensed game made about Youtube superstars. This is honestly really surreal.

The game itself sounds like the typical "ideas man" nerd wishlist. I'm pretty skeptical of how it will turn out, even as a fan of the Yogscast in general.

I can't imagine it panning out any more smoothly than the Penny Arcade game did.

I have only one cat, and it drives me insane with its meowing every 3 seconds without fail. I'm tempted to go to the trouble of modding it so all of the cat sounds except one are silence.

So I've been playing Minecraft again recently after taking a few months break, and I've been having some issues. My framerate is completely fine no matter what settings I run at (other than the extremely long draw distance options), but the game very often stutters for a split second when placing or removing blocks. Kind of reminds me of the on-hit frame freeze sort of thing many action games use, except it's super lovely here because my mouse registers as still holding click during that time and I'm constantly dropping double torches/blocks/saplings.

Worked perfectly fine on this exact same PC awhile back. I tried loving around with all sorts of video options and installing optifine, but neither helped. Anyone happen to know what's up?

I've had the same problem for a while now and the only answers I've seen online are "Use a wired mouse" (already using a wired gamepad) and "Buy a better computer" (idiotic answer).

Here's the requirements for a village house from the wiki:

Must have a solid roof (something that blocks skylight)
Must have a door
Must be made of non-naturally generated blocks.
the natural blocks are: air, stone, grass, dirt, bedrock, water, lava, sand, gravel , any ores, logs, leaves, sandstone, tall grass, dead bush, flowers, mushrooms, snow tiles, ice, cactus, clay, sugarcane, pumpkin, huge mushrooms, vines, mycelium, lily pad, end portal frame.

Don't know how accurate that is though. I'm pretty sure I've had testificates live in houses made from giant red mushrooms.

Looking at the list of what you can buy and sell at villages now, the current values are pretty messed up. It's basically "sell all your unwanted garbage in mass quantities for 1 emerald each, buy things you could have just made instead for large numbers of emeralds with no rhyme or reason behind inflation values." Although I appreciate being able to buy experience potions, I guess.

I hope they adjust it a bit before 1.3 comes out.

Think the update notes said something about it being balanced later. Glad rotten flesh now has a purpose for me (I don't keep dogs and I'm swimming in non-crappy food). I just wish farmers would buy seeds. That's another item I'm always throwing away in stacks.

Needing leather to create books is certainly going to make enchanting even more stupid and annoying than it already is, if you don't already have a full library or you start a new game.

I actually find myself making use of level 1 enchants the most. Spending numerous levels on armor feels wasteful (especially when non-enchanted iron armor makes you virtually unkillable by hostile mobs as long as you stay full). Same for iron tools. Level 1 can get you Efficiency I or Unbreakable I which are both nice enough for an expendable tool.

Because sometimes you don't have time to wall yourself in? Sometimes there's a doorbell, or an important phone call, an oven timer, or any other number of things. It's a needless addition of complexity to the single player experience.

It takes half a second to click "save and quit". When you come back, It will be on the title screen and take maybe 5 seconds to get back into your game.

I'd be more on board if beacons also kept things from spawning, and not just by giving off light. I want to bury a bunch of them around my property so I don't have to fill the landscape with strategically placed (often awkward-looking) walls, fences and light sources.

Hopefully, the frames use a unique texture so I can opt to make them invisible in texture packs. Also, I'll need to make a clock sprite that will look good mounted on the wall. I'm excited though. I've wanted a clock I could place in my house since the game hit beta.

In that screenshot, the flat world generated from bottom to top will be 1 layer of bedrock, 20 layers of stone, 6 layers of dirt, 1 layer of grass, 1 layer of redstone torches, then 4 layers of TNT. The bottom layer of TNT would be ignited the moment you step into the world.

Hey whoever made the empty promise to make the mods out of the ideas I come up with, here's two more for you;

-Make chiseled stone craftable so it's not the rarest item in the game world for literally no reason.
-Make smooth stairs.

In fact...

-Make stairs craftable out of every type of block.

Pretty sure there's always been dozens of mods that already do those things or get pretty close.

Seed: Snow plz

The three brown pixels on the bottom left is a desert village. A little up, and to the mid-right: those brown dots on the green island are a semi-secluded plains village.

You spawn about where the player marker is on a snowy island. On the top left of it, there's a nice flat spot to build and an entrance to a small cave though you may find your way to a much larger cave system when you dig out the iron.

Can you still do the torch-gravel trick? For anyone who doesn't know, you have to place a torch down immediately after digging out a block of gravel, and then the rest of the gravel will fall onto the torch and become items very quickly.

That doesn't produce flint. You need to dig manually.
