I approve of this OP and I guess the thread title, but I really would have preferred the one about Notch being lazy and fat and it was all sarcastic and stuff. ...like half the posts in the thread are.

Seizureman posted:Ideas: Redstone camera and screen. Place camera and wire it to a screen to make a surveillance system, link screens to make a bigger screen. Then show live arena battles in a movie theater. And why don't we implement the rest of the Garry's Mod Wiremod plugin while we're at it? I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm just saying that it doesn't make much sense to have high-powered circuit-based technology within the world of Minecraft that isn't  -made.

So I found a surface dungeon for the first time today, sticking partway out of a plateau looking thing. On my way over to it, I got murdered by some rear end in a top hat spider out to ruin my fun who kamikazed me off of the side of the cliff, which means I was unable to make a home in it. But it was pretty neat!Koos Chup posted:So in the newest update, there's going to be an enemy that forces the player to avoid looking at them, or fix their gaze on them for a long time. It almost seems like the difficulty autistic people have with eye contact being too averting or too rigid. Of course, since Minecraft is Not About Autism, the enemy's true artistic purpose will forever remain a mystery. Thank you for your sage knowledge, Stupid Newbie. I will forever be in debt and eagerly await your final "lol u kids mad" before you get probated.

Zorak posted:It's not like he's removing a feature or something. Your computer just sucks. That's kind of his point? He has an effective use of the feature because his computer sucks, and I'm not trying to preach that he should keep the button because this and this and white knighting blah blah or anything, but calling the guy's playstyle stupid because he does something you don't just makes you look like a jerk. Now instead of being able to do it on the fly he'll have to do it manually from the pause menu, which slows down his gameplay considerably if he decides to keep using the method after it's been obsoleted.

Cygni posted:I've hated it from the start, and I really hope they keep to their original plan of it being disableable. Even if they don't keep the original plan, there will DEFINITELY be a mod to disable it. That's why I don't complain that much about new features anymore: I realized that if Notch implements a feature or mob that you don't like, chances are someone who can mod properly doesn't like it either.

Then again, maybe not, considering Minecraft is really the only "modern-made" game I can really play without playing a Powerpoint Slideshow version of said game.

What's funny is that your point is completely null because Bethesda's developing studio is not in charge of the law-based portion of their company, and therefore the Bethesda everyone knows and loves has no part in this and they in fact find the lawsuit pointless, but they can't do much to stop it now that Mojang has made it known, paraded it around, joked about it like it was no big deal, and then agreed to take it to court! It's really funny how nobody seems to know this (read: annoying)! And as well, Bethesda's law office has no case because "Scrolls" is not "The Elder Scrolls" and as long as Mojang acknowledges that TES is a thing that exists and they respect the right to not steal any of their poo poo, Mojang will likely come out of this lawsuit with an undeserving sense of pride!

And yet somehow everyone un-ironically and non-sarcastically ignores it and blames the whole company! I'm not defending Bethesda's lawyers TOO hard because I mean, it's still a really dumb thing to sue over, but still, both sides have terrible points and the lawsuit makes no sense in the first place, and Mojang parading it around just makes it worse.

The problem with redstone is that, while it works as a true-to-coding current system (for the most part) with inputs and outputs, each redstone ash pile takes up a block's worth of space, as do redstone torches. There's no way to make contraptions anything but 'huge and poorly disguised' because redstone just takes up too much drat space and micromanaging to be worth it for building design purposes. EDIT: Dammit Vinigre you beat me to it.

Tried out that map, the main problem I found is that if you place something on the bottom "row" of blocks on the island, you will under no circumstances be able to recover it. Blocks mined below your feet rarely if ever pop up high enough for you to collect them, so you have to be very careful where you place things. I lost most of my dirt before I remembered this. Other than that, it's a pretty neat challenge!

I think one of the problems with the game so far is that Notch (and Jeb I guess) seem to be having a hard time deciding what they want to do next with it, so they just go with 'everything', which doesn't work out as well as they planned. I understand what they're going for in that they're trying to flesh the game out a little, but they're making ENDgame stuff and not NEWgame stuff. For example, the enchantment table requires two diamond and several obsidian to create, which players are only able to obtain at the tail end of the "goal" part of Minecraft, that being to find Obsidian/Diamond and enter The Nether. As a sandbox game, you can do "whatever you want", sure, but the game has a set goal in that there is nothing else to do but sandbox related things once you move up the tool material trees and finally mine that obsidian. Another example is that they recently added Nether Structures, but again, you can't actually GET to The Nether until late-game. I think they're going in the right direction with Strongholds and NPC villages, in that you can find them from basically the beginning of the "game" and they require only a little exploration to find, and not a long-winded recipe craft that you can only get once you've already done everything else survival-related.

In case this thread hasn't seen the lovely Cartoon Network Rip Off(tm) of Mad's parody of Minecraft yet... Why would they do this? Do people actually think this is funny? Is there a single Minecraft fan out there that laughed at these tried and old jokes when they were on TV instead of YouTube? The worst part is, the final joke in the skit is a "SSSSSSS boom ha ha creepers explode when you get near them this is comedy let's do it again for emphasis" joke. It's like the show not being funny is intentional because it's not even ironic mocking, it's just regular mocking. What has Cartoon Network done to me

I think the ORIGINAL parody is of Criminal Minds, and then they drag Minecraft into it as a "this is a current events thing that tweens like to play/watch videos of!" thing. I don't honestly see what's funny about it because all they really did with it is rehash old jokes and explain the mechanics of Minecraft. "Oop, Skeletons burn up in the sun! That is a thing that happens in the game and it is used here to be funny!" I guess that might be funny to someone who doesn't know what Minecraft is?

I dunno, maybe it's just because I don't appreciate Mad's humor. Possibly a combination of that and the fact that the jokes aren't that hard to spot beforehand if you know much about Minecraft.

I am tagging along with the "I use stone pickaxes whenever possible" train. I usually bring five or six of them with me on my mining/excavating trips along with an iron one in case I find any diamond or gold ores. As long as you bring wood and a crafting table down with you, stone pickaxes are basically a renewable resource.

MikeJF posted:Creative players see the monsters and nighttime, they're just immune. What you were really asking for was a seperate map that's on peaceful mode (and possible also creative mode, depending on what you want). I can't answer that. I'm pretty sure he was asking if there was a way to set some players to Survival while others are in Creative on the same map (and also remove the hostile mobs for the ones in Creative). A plugin to do that would be pretty neat but it doesn't exist as far as I know.

Just enter the portal and hey look game's over you can go home now I am love you are love everything is in your head rofl so deep My problem with the ending is that even though it is almost copy/pasted directly from another source, it has nothing to do with Minecraft at all. None of the game's themes even make sense when compared to the supposed "ending" text. It just doesn't work out. I really hope this isn't the way the 'retail' game will end, because that's pretty disappointing.
