I wonder if there's going to be an algorithm for gigantic trees in the final game. I like the idea of a forest so dense with huge trees that it blocks out all light and spawns monsters. Thoughts?
This is a must, I love these freaking tree's, In multi-player they would be risky to make a fort out of (Cause a tree is quite flammable no matter how big) but the advantages of it would be superb. Also it would encourage engineers to fortify the tree with fire protection such as a metal plate around the bottom of the tree and to trim the leaves as to prevent enemy groups from setting it ablaze and to create nice sniping spots for pro archers.

This is why the game needs 3 races.
Humans, elves and dwarves, you can guess which race does what :wink.gif:
(with humans doing a bit of both)
And I think there should be at least 3 types of trees, which you can craft different quality staffs and bows with.
no. there is no reason for this other than to make things more complicated. we're fine with one race.
But we don't need this. AT ALL. NO. JUST NO.
THAT'S WHAT SKINS ARE FOR SO LETS JUST KEEP OUT RACES.

Well, it's a fantasy game and different races would fit in rather well..
Of course it would mostly be for looks, but I also think there should be some variation between them, for the sake of multiplayer and having different roles in a group.
Or just add a new model that is significantly shorter, so I can just make a dwarf skin..
And I don't get the argument about complexity, this game isn't even in beta, what you might see as something simple might just be work-in-progress.
no, they wouldn't fit in well. the only race we need is minecrafter.

Would you dare to meet the gaze of the basilisk, or face the flames as the phoenix burns?
ELVES ARE TRASH. DWARVES ARE TRASH. throw away ideas for the compost to decay and sprout something new and interesting. Some day this overused cliche will die and I will be able to play a game that has a frog leopard class that specializes in kung fuu and a flying crab race that use necromancy to raise a undead cat army

C'mon, there are zombies, skeletons, swords and armor.. And you're saying Elves and Dwarves wouldn't fit in..
If it was a purely medieval setting I would understand, but it's not..
There's a server called Dwarf Fortress or something along those lines, the stuff you can see on that server should be reason alone to add playable dwarfs to the game.. :wink.gif:
And the stuff posted in this topic should be reason enough to consider adding elves..
dwarf fortress is a popular game. the dwarf fortress server is for people who came here from dwarf fortress.

I think it would be a great idea, but I'm not sure if the dwarfes should have an advantage of being shorter (1 block tall) and be able to use smaller tunnels, while elves would be taller (2.5?) and humans staying at 1.7, then add some advantage for elves like being faster or something. Dwarfes would be able to dig faster because they only need to dig a tunnel of 1 height, while elves would need to dig 3 blocks tall. Add crouching so elves and humans can go through smaller tunnels but slower.
I also love the big trees, but the tree trunks would need to be changed?
Look can we all agree that we don't need "ANY MOR RACES" and the only race we need is the "MINECRAFTER" race?
Also we have skins for races. Hell, who needs races when you can be ANYTHING.
Back to the topics of tree's.
I would like to see this more developed, when I think about it in a casual sense.
Like maybe have some Small/normal looking tree's that look good as well as these Leviathan trees.
Cause I love the leviathan tree's don't get me wrong, but some normal little tree's (that are still kind of big and better looking than the ones we have in normal survival) would help and add to the scenery.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i guess this topic is about dense forests and redwood trees, not about dwarfes and elves.
Yes to dense forests and redwood trees, it would give a nice variety in the landscape.
Anyone who wants to argue about races, I have made a new topic for that discussion. As for the trees....
Epic awesomeness. I'd love to be just wandering and suddenly be faced by a great wall of trees and darkness. Can you imagine the monsters spawning in there?

This may be a fad, but I love dragons, so why the heck not?

Simply magic.

Can a theme be cliche? I though they defined the theme. Here let me fix that for you
Fixed
I'm sorry. The original topic is about large trees. from the picture linked it would make some awesome visuals and make the game feel more alive
Yes to dense forests and redwood trees, it would give a nice variety in the landscape.
Here are your dense forest...
Don't let them dies, please D'=
They wouldn't let you die if you were in need of hatching!

check out this thread. there is a simple python based program that modifies your trees
into semi randomly generated super trees. Notch I hope you listening.
