Disappointing Pie posted:I've had issues for months now with FPS drop/lag on several different Minecraft versions and several different Java versions. I was told to post in this bug report. Have you tried turning on Advanced OpenGL if the option is still there, I get that sort of jerky lag but when i turn on advanced openGL It goes away. I have an NVidia 560gtx running 2 monitors.

What i don't get is the way they have stopped the monetisation. You can charge for access to a server, but you cant allow someone to donate to get a specific set of extra resources this allows hosting companies to charge $300 per month for a server yet not allow the person paying that money to get it back through donations unless they are offered freely. You cant even accept donations then give them a "thank you for donating" kit... If they were charging for access to a mod pack or certain items is that also breaking the EULA? They are not charging for minecraft but for access to Tinkers Construct or Applied Energistics They are mods not minecraft, or is Mojang now claiming that ALL mod packs are also theirs?

Its more like there are servers out there I used to frequent JAC Gaming where you could play as per normal but if you paid $5 you got some kits - Food, Tools, Armor, Sheep Spawner, Cow Spawner - pay $10 and you got access to an extra personal chest and more kits (tnt, machines, resources) If you voted you got osmium, tnt, missile modules, diamonds. Everyone has access to the same stuff just the person paying gets extras each week (with the exception of the spawners) They also sell what are called God Swords which are diamond swords with the enchantments out of the ball park and unavailable to normal players. So is this allowed or not?

One thing i have noticed is that recently most worlds I have generated there are huge areas of Snow, Really annoying if you need a non cold environment to get blast furnaces working (Rotarycraft) or other temperature based stuff. Last voltz world I saw it was snow and ice from 0,0 out to 3000x3000 -3000x-3000 with a small desert just beyond that followed by ocean in one direction and more snow in another.

I would love to see a Minecraft where you load mods into the server and the client downloads and runs them based on the mods on the server so you dont need to have anything special, the mods are auto sent from the server at connect time...

Kilroy posted:You could just keep the block size as-is and do the interpolation you're talking about, and it would still look pretty good. And it would keep building simple, which would probably be a nightmare with small blocks like you're suggesting. I actually thought of doing a mod that re-rendered blocks with slopes so if at each intersection there were no other points then that point would be removed meaning that if the top front 2 corners had no other corners at that location it would remove those 2 making a triangular block sloping down. It would be quite simple to do that rendering as well. so you would have pyramid hills. but it would be less blocky, and special blocks would have to render as normal so it would be only Sand, Dirt, rock, cobble, clay, etc - water already does this when it flows.

IronicDongz posted:I honestly think it'd be cool as hell if ores weren't evenly distributed, so only some places would have specific ores. Think Dwarf Fortress-style geology, except less complicated because it doesn't need to be(although it should also have the nice logical mix of different stones, ideally). Basically that and (much)deeper, more varied caves would do wonders for travel/location mattering in Minecraft. Imagine going on a multiplayer server and finding an abandoned mining town, because people went there for ore and didn't find enough or dug it all up so they needed to move on. That'd be so loving rad! What materials are worth depends very heavily on their scarcity, which is why Minecraft has never actually supported any sort of 'economy' even though servers always stick one on. You're almost never gonna trade materials with someone because you can just get it yourself, so there's no value. But if iron isn't easy to find, then it's far more valuable, and so are places that contain it. Applied Energistics 2 does something like that, to make the chips you need schematics for the imprinter, You find these by finding meteors that have crashed, and in the middle of the meteor is a chest you find these schematics. A friend and I went round the world yesterday finding these, we now have multiple copies of some of them which if i get round to opening a store we could sell on the store... On that note, i want the store to be only able to sell what has been bought so i can have a true player driven economy, I have seen the auction plugins but am wondering if there is a shop like chestshop but that automatically allows any items purchased(from players) to be sold as stock? (Imagine Minecraft Jita 4-4 ....)

Vib Rib posted:Combat is so bad it's a joke. There is no game I can think of where combat is this outright frustrating, on account of how unresponsive and obnoxious so much of it is. Knockback is the loving worst. Being bounced between enemies is poo poo. Blocking is dumb because you still get hurt and enemies have such fast attacks there's basically no point. No attack animations exist. The Wither is a dumb boss that you basically have to brute force. Poison damage needs a better cure or a resist/immunity. Critical hits are dumb and bouncing up and down while you fight is ridiculous. Charging attacks are okay but sprinting is poorly designed in this game and even with the long-overdue assigned sprint button sometimes it just seems to not work at random. Even that little TSCCHT sound that happens when you take any damage from any source at all is annoying as hell. I hate it all, tear it down and start over, there's nothing even worth saving. I have sgcraft and you can fire stuff through the gates, so what if you can ride a cart through a gate to another gate 1000 blocks away? does that count?

Jamesman posted:I found a skeleton spawner, and wanted to relocate the skeletons near the surface so that if I had a charged creeper, I could mass the skeletons in a reasonable location to bring the creeper to them and get skulls. I didn't realize I had to be so close to the spawner, height-wise. So now I set up closer to the spawner, and set up a routing system for when I want to send the skeletons to the surface and when I want to XP grind. i use the height thing to keep mobs from spawning at night start of game, I grab dirt during the first day then nerd pole up to about 30-40 blocks up then no creepers spawn on the ground.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Diamond spawns in one block with a maximum size of 2x2x2 each chunk. That's why it's hard to find. It can also be overridden by features so each chunk may have no diamond at all. Really, the best way to get more diamond is branch mining. Finding diamond is really goddamned tedious. It isn't really more likely to be near lava there just tends to be a crap load of lava that deep so sometimes it seems like it. Far as I know it's just somewhere randomly in the chunk below level 16. Whenever i start on any type of Survival server or local game i have a system that seems to work - Get Trees, find side of hill/mountain and make small 3x3x2 room to start make charcoal if coal not found to make stack of torches. Dig a 3 high 1 wide stairway down to level 12 spread out looking for diamonds at level 12 (lava is usually at level 10 so you shouldnt have it drop in on you.

Now expand the 3x3x3 to a 7x7x3 then start a 3 high single width stair down the back entrance to the room. stop when you get to level 12 and then just dig out looking for loot. although i am the unluckiest/luckiest, 9 times out of 9 i find a dungeon, cave, chasm or mineshaft on that staircase...

How about this for a challenge map, enforce a texture pack where every ore looks like smooth stone and do not install Waila. Finding ores would be even more luck than normal, and was that a diamond you just walked past or was it actually stone?

The one change i would like to see is that Skeletons start say with random 3-7 arrows and get 2 arrows per minute, so they are not able to just pepper you with arrows ad infinitum, Also if they run out of arrows they turn and run until they get more, meaning they kite you automatically. I think that would make a more realistic fight instead of unable to kill them as they are knocking you back all the time. and you only have a sword.

Eric the Mauve posted:Just loving around to kill some time I came across the most complex cave system I've ever seen. Over the past week I've spent what must amount to 10-12 hours exploring it and I STILL haven't explored the entire thing. So far I've found 6 underground ravines (one of which is two intersecting ravines, so 7), two different mineshafts (and you know how sprawling those bastards are), and approximately a gazillion miles of interlocking multilevel caves all around, with a conveniently located gigantic open room around the center of it all (or at least it's the center because it's where I set up shop.) Caving is pretty usually ho-hum but this system's proven so much bigger than anything I'd seen before it's ridiculous. Whenever i play any mod pack i build my starting hole in the side of a cliff and start the stairs down to lvl 12 for diamonds, and I always 99% of the time hit mineshafts, caverns or chasms. I am unlucky like that.
