Enzer posted:No, Jeb did not want to mess around with the world generation in the same patch that introduced the Anvil world format as well as try to make old 1.1 maps as compatible as possible with the new patch. Higher mountains is set to be a "maybe" at this point when he adds more new biomes, which thanks to Anvil, will be seamless as compared to every other patch that did anything to world generation. Honestly, it might be better this way since it opens the door for a proper "mountain" biome. Yetis!

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Baj was amusing at first, but his gimmick kind of wore thin on me after a while. I did laugh at how remarkably on the spot he was at first, though. I could have swore that he was reading a transcript of man vs wild for the opening minutes. It's been the opposite for me. At first it was somewhat funny, wore thin during the second episode, but has gotten progressively funnier as the videos have gone on. That path map confirmed my suspicion that Beef and Kurt walked through the exact same biome within minutes of each other. I agree that Guude is being really boring though.

Baj doesn't seem particularly interested in this season so far. So it wasn't too much of a shock or a loss to see him go. I feel like this was way too rushed and I hope they do another one very soon after this one because so far it is kind of falling apart. My dream season would be a replication of Alien vs. Predator 2's Survivor mode. Where one person would start out hunting the rest, and as he kills them, they join his team. The hunters would be allowed to respawn indefinitely, obviously. The survivors would need to complete one of those shrine tasks in the mean time, to win.

The obvious solution for this specific season was to have edited the team videos with split screens in 1080p and when something insane happens, make that screen bigger. It would have taken a lot more effort though.

oddeye posted:Yup. The last five minutes are worth watching from every perspective. This is what I ended up doing. For the previous episodes, and even like the first half of the last episode, I only watched one perspective per team, only watching another if something actually seemed to happen elsewhere, but for those last few minutes, I ended up watching every single perspective, it was great. They mentioned doing 4 teams of 2 possibly, but unfortunately, they also mentioned having 4 islands, or even worse doing FFA with 8 islands.

Fren posted:Latest Ultra Hardcore episodes up: Guude, Baj, Pause, Beef and Etho, BdoubleO, Kurt, Docm. Well, The old timers seem to have a decent enough lead in terms of supplies. The new guy's golden apple still doesn't even make them even. But if they did stay for some reason, they have a much bigger diamond and gold level cave system to exploit, which could take them into the lead more easily, perhaps.

Quick start is nice, and there is no reason what so ever not to add toggle-able features such as this. I just wish that Survival mode had just a bit more in the way of objectives to it, that could be toggled before world creation. Like how some player maps have "Win altars" or whatever that you have to fill. It would be cool to have to scour the land for special items, like a scavenger hunt, culminating I guess with retrieving an item from the Nether and beating the dragon in the end zone. I suppose it might not work in an infinitely huge world, but what about a massive one? Maybe you could toggle world sizes for increased difficulty. Add in Ultra Hardcore toggles, and you have yourself a nice challenge mode. About finite world size, I was wondering, what would be the possibility of a finite map, that, instead of having borders, simply looped, so if you go far enough east, you pop up in the western edge, etc? It wouldn't be a sphere, because I think that would present huge problems with chunks at smaller sizes. Just an endlessly looping plane?

CaptainCaveman posted:How would deer be any different than pigs/chickens/cows that spawn now? Or are you figuring they'd have a much higher spawn rate? Deer would flee if you got too close or something. Boar would attack you if you attacked them first. Forests could have bears. Mountains could have goats. Then you get into biome specific rare spawns like a yeti, a death worm, a swamp creature, a sea monster, etc. The game could also really use some more enemy variety now, especially with loot tables and enchanted items. Revenant, chance to drop enchanted armor pieces/sword Zombie warrior, chance to drop leather armor, iron sword (rarely enchanted) Mummy, chance to drop alchemy related drops. All of these could be uncommon spawns mostly tied to dungeons and the like. ToastyPotato fucked around with this message at 05:17 on May 3, 2012 |

Question! What is the simplest, most straight forward design for a mob grinder? The minecraft wiki has a bunch of designs, but the page also says that it contains out of date information that might have been since changed or removed from the game.  Also, I guess I could ask the same for an XP farm, in terms of simplicity. I would guess that a mob spawner in a a dungeon somewhere would be the simplest way to XP farm, but so far, I haven't found any spawners near my current home.

Wandering Knitter posted:Okay, I'm new to the world of Minecraft and I have a question: How can you build a pool that doesn't have a current? I tried the "dig a hole one square deep, pour water in corners" but that didn't work. Am I missing something? Every block pretty much has to be filled with water, though two water blocks filling into an empty block will create a full water block. So W-E-W becomes W-W-W. Depending on the size of your pool, you are gonna need a lot of buckets. Unless I am misunderstanding your question.

Phobophilia posted:Absolutely every world is infested with caves. They seem to be so much more common post 1.0. I remember caves being so much more difficult to find back in 1.6 (or maybe I just got better at the game). Mines and ravines just expose so much surface area that it's easier to find materials. I opened the only other 1.2 map I had and noticed that pretty quickly. Kind of disappointing how common they are now.

Works for me. Hit me up: My SA username at gmail. Question: Should I hold off on enchanting stuff until I patch? Also, I've stayed within a fairly small area on this map, so I shouldn't need to start over when the patch drops correct? I'm not particularly married to the area, or the base that I've built, so I don't mind wandering off to find better, newer lands (no NPC village in sight anyway) but I'd also rather not start from scratch.

tinaun posted:If you have already built your enchantment table and bookshelves and have enough levels for what you want, go for it. The only change in the enchants themselves in 1.3 is that it is now slightly more common to get multiple enchants on a single item. If you haven't buit bookshelves yet, or want to level up faster, wait for 1.3. (or get the prerelease) I have the table, but only 7 shelves. I was thinking of tearing them down and moving them to a nicer room though. vulturesrow posted:I'm sending it in about 5 minutes to both of you. Thank you!

Wandering Knitter posted:Is diamond rarer in 1.3, or am I just having lovely luck mining? I'm in 1.2 and having poo poo luck finding diamond. I was actually about to come here and ask about the rareness of diamonds in 1.2. It's kind of annoying that with the dramatic increase in caves and underground tunnels, diamonds have become so much more difficult to find. I feel like in the beta days I was finding diamonds a bit more regularly, though still requiring plenty of mining and spelunking. Is strip mining for diamond worth the time, effort, and material cost or would it be better to just explore cave systems and look for exposed diamond?

Spoggerific posted:People have been saying that ores are more rare in new versions ever since ores were first added to the game, but I don't think they've ever actually changed rarity without a mention in the patch notes. If it's not in the notes, I doubt diamonds are any more rare than they used to be. Well I kind of touched on it before, but I feel like the massive increase in underground tunnels and caves makes diamonds seem harder to find simply because there seems to be more ground to cover. fondue posted:I've always found diamonds by doing two things; exploring caves and excavating lava pits.

BitBasher posted:Well, unless I incorrectly read the way the veins generate, more tunnels actually does mean less diamonds. According to the wiki if a tunnel of mineshaft intersects where a diamond block would have been generated, that block just isn't spawned. As such, any veins that are exposed to caves would have been bigger had not the airspace been there. Well that is disappointing to have confirmed. But it perfectly explains the situation. fondue posted:Yes; I use gravel as it's quickest. Emptying a lava pit almost always guarantees some diamond or lapis. I have a few stacks of gravel, I should get on this, even though I foolishly poured water over several lava lakes already.

I meant it in a way that I was really, really hoping my diamond pick had Fortune 3 on it. Basically the enchants were reversed as to what I would have preferred. In recent news, I was almost vaporized by a massive TNT trap in my first desert temple. Four chests blew up. If I hadn't accidentally bore a massive hole through the wall with my super efficient pick, I would have surely died.

I guess I was lucky. My 1.2.5 world was very small, and as soon as I fanned out in 1.3 I found a desert temple in the desert that was just bordering the edge of my map, and a jungle temple in the first jungle I came across which was straight down the coast from my base. But absolutely zero villages thus far.
