So in the last thread I started a chain world thing and kind of started forgetting to check it and it fell apart (because I am a forgetful dickbag), but I guess I'll take another shot at it now that it's a new thread.

Rules:


If you want to sign up for it send an e-mail to somethingawfulmcchain@gmail.com (Please include your SA username) and you'll be put on the list, we'll start when we have our first five people.

The list of players will also go in this post once it starts.

EDIT: Fixed, drat you. And to your edit, no, but I fixed that as well. VVV

Emailed. I tried getting on the last chain you did but...yeah...dickbag. Still love ya though, in a non-homo way. Anyways, in order to help with the mod conflicting and stuff you really should generate a massive bit of land. I've got Yogbox on so I'm sure I'll have to revert to non-yog but still it'd be helpful to have most of the map pre-generated.

I dunno, this bugs me in a way I'm having trouble difficulty putting into words.

This sort of thing just hints of amateurism from Notch. Legal cases aren't ended by Quake matches, they are ended with big-boy things like court cases. Yeah, it'll cost a bit to deal with it that way, but that's what happens when you're an actual game developer.

Why waste the money and time when you can simply go to whoever has a problem with you and handle it like a grownup? Just because the platform to decide the outcome happens to be a game doesn't make it less adult-like.

You seem to be falling into what society wants you to think is the way to settle things...free your mind man. Free your mind.

You're right. And by adults you mean "people-who-take-themselves-too-seriously."

All I'm saying is it would actually be good publicity for both companies. I dunno, maybe that's too "outside the box thinking" for "Adults."

One thing i would like to see in minecraft, is for your safety inside your base to be more often challanged. At the moment, as soon as you have your walls up and a spider overhang attached, you are completely save. Having to defend that savety would be really cool.
I really struggle to think up how to do that in a "minecraftian" way though. Building in wall destroying mobs seems somehow wrong. Also the feeling of safety inside your base is kinda important for the game.
Has anyone come up with some ideas here?


I would shamelessly steal Terraria's idea here and have an even that gives zombies the ability to open doors. Obviously creepers can't due to a lack of arms. But it would give cause to create new obstacles in order to enter ones house, or maybe simply defend it during that particular event.

Ug, being stupid, can only use sticks as weapons, and leather as armor. :black101:

So Ug is smart enough to sew leather together but too dumb to make stone tools? 0.o

Ok so after playing for a while on the leaked server and on single player I lost interest in messing with Endermen. They just don't seem to be that interesting. They lock on to you and freeze.




Or so I thought.

I was playing on a single player map and saw one meandering through a cave just below the one I was exploring. So I decided to taunt his rear end since he was about 2 blocks below me with no way of getting up to where I was (no blocks to step on to get up to my level). I edge to where I can just make out his eyes. He locks on in typical fashion and then teleports! Somewhat confused I do a quick panic search for him.

Nothing. Then I tunnel my way up to the surface (8 blocks up maybe). And just as I turn around PUFF!, black smoke and legs are suddenly right in front of me and he instantly one-hits me dead. SCARED THE poo poo OUT OF ME! I had already written him off as bugged or just plain gone. But no the bastard was waiting for me to crawl out of the earth. What's weird is he teleported to me up top. He wasn't there when I first broke the top layer, I do a 360 check now whenever I go to jump out of a hole and he wasn't there when I looked.

So count my lesson learned with these buggers. Then can give you scares just like creepers do.


My one and only complaint is they need to have their own sound. Making them sound like zombies takes away from their eerie appearance.

They're great! Seriously the range that they feel you looking at them is insane! I was almost 70? 80 blocks away maybe. Thought what the hell, pointed my cross airs right at him..BAM! He teleports to within 5 meters of me! Scared the poo poo out of me. I thought there was a limit to how far they could teleport?

I think it took something like 7 days of pure sailing. Awesome.

That tip at the left is the main piece of land we found, a sprawling forest. It might not look it but that little section is HUGE.

I sorta agree with this, having Himalayas in Minecraft is hardly worth the hit it probably will take on hardware.

That's sort of the point behind the coding of Cubic Chunk mod. It changes the "chunks" that actually load in the game. Right now we have a system comparable to 2 dimensional loading. The CC mod changes it to a 3 dimensional loading pattern.

I've held my tongue this entire time regarding the litigation between Bethesda and Mojang. Now though, it just strikes me as complete Bullshit. I mean common an Indie Developer comes up with a game called "Scrolls." Bethesda is known for "The Elder Scrolls," (TES). So they think "HOLY poo poo! He's the name of his game is in the name or our game! CALL THE LAWYER!" Jesus people come on. Are you telling me if another company comes along making "Elder," that Bethesda is going to jump down their throat as well? I seriously hope the judge over this case Slaps the poo poo out of Bethesda and asks "Are you loving retarded?"

However if the judge rules in favor of Bethesda, then all game developers take note! Don't name your games any of the below:

Mass
Elder
Effect
Star
War
Jade
Empire
Vegas
Demon
Forge
....
or any other loving word which comprises another game title.

This is something I'm working on, but also for cooked meat.

I think if you threw a chicken into a netherrack firepit with a cobblestone hallway attached to it and placed a water bucket at the end of hall.... I believe chicken AI beelines for water when ignited, so you could get the chickens to reliably run away from the fire to preserve the delicious meat and feathers. Just place the water just far enough away that that it's impossible to make it to the water before their two hearts burn out.

There's already a blueprint a few pages or so back for an auto cooking chicken killing machine.
