what is your option of vanilla minecraft? and what do you think of modded minecraft. like for example having a mod that give you infinite supplies. My self am a purest. i like to gather and mine the resources for what i am working on. it just means more to me.i am not trying to downgrade people who use mods so they can make stuff faster. i was just wondering what you guys think.
I keep TooManyItems installed for quicker spawning for a server my friend runs, but I keep the interface off in SSP. So mostly vanilla, with a mod that stays inactive.
If any senator wishes to read this, I suggest a SUSA bill. Stop United States Act. If the internet needs to babysit your lawmaking, Then there's something wrong.
This raises an interesting point. I was actually thinking of this the other day.
I like vanilla servers alot. I don't like playing with mods that allow me to get everything. I play on a fancy dancy Pvp server with all these mods. Now the mods are used out of nessicity. things like grief protect for citys. and No pvp zones. I played on that server. Lets call the server with all the mods server A. Now I enjoy playing on server A. I still do play on it and I have alot of freinds on it. But one day I get bored and want to play on another server. Lets called this second server Server B. I logged onto server B and it was night. Mobs were everywhere and I hauled ass to get towards where everyone else was. It turns out that 8 people had huddled into a nearby guys mine. I came in. The day had come and we decied to bulid a town. That day I had more fun then I did ever on Server A.
Now stay with me. Me rambling on here actualy is going to get to the point.
What Im trying to say here is that mods are almost requied out of need. If you want a server to have a special vibe or thing running for it then Yes. you will need mods. But you can go overbored with mods. There is no need for a mod that allows you to spawn items in a Pvp survival server. But you may need heroic death (A mod that documents deaths In-game) Or greif protect.
The point Im trying to drive home here is that Modded servers are good to a point. A good modded server needs a balance of mods and gameplay.
While a vanilla server lies more heavlly on gameplay vs mods.
to be honest nether is better. It really all depends on the type of serve.

That's three mass invasions within the same bloody month! I mean, seriously! The UDTU is attacking now, Blue has a sleeper attack coming soon, and now an invasion by space pirates? What is this, Russia if every american-made FPS happened at once?! - MagicallyDwarven
I use vanilla only. I did have wildgrass installed once but after one of the updates I just forgot to put it back on, its still not on and won't be going back on now.
So, I use Jolicraft texture pack and zero mods and intend on staying that way. Some features I kinda wanted are here or coming this way via the main game now so no need really.
I use basic minecraft because, well I don't know, it's fun without mods, I was waiting for modding API so updates wouldn't break the mods, that was the biggest problem, but until then I am playing clean.
I BASICALLY play vanilla. I have single-player commands, but I only use it on my 'test' world where I just play around, rather than legitimately play. The only reason I use single-player commands in my real single player is so I can fly up and get a good screenshot of something, rather than pillaring up that high.
I play with mods, although I may discontinue using some of them once more legit features are added to Vanilla. Because then there'll be more things to play with anyway.
I don't really like using mods that add new content because I'm worried of the block id getting ovewritten by something else in a new beta. I stick more to mods that instead only enhance existing content. Or things that make the farming of some materials faster but it still requires actual effort rather than simply inventory hacking it.
But I like testing out other mods too. It all depends what I feel like doing at the time. Most of those worlds for very long anyway.
I play vanilla with aesthetic enhancements, most mods are pretty shoddy honestly. I mean they can be neat but.. most of them out there, especially ones that gets requested, aren't very balanced, and just make the easy game easier.
Well,
For me vanilla is fine and all but notch cant implement super fast and that is what mobs are for :ohmy.gif:
I use mobs that add to the game's function but do not just completely replace certain things or make some things pointless.
Like the acid mod o.o adds acid which flows faster then water and kills faster then lava lol, replaces lava basically cuz u can make auto smelting pickaxes and things like that and acid TNT
All my SP realms are Vanilla save the one InVEdit TNT blast lab world but anyone playing SMP who claims to like vanilla whilst being on a bukkit based server are playing an adulterated version. So whilst I'd like to play vanilla in reality if you wanna play SMP you really can't as there are mods out there that are pretty much required to have fun.
And why is the term Vanilla used for this game anyway? I know it means the original version. but I though it only refereed to games that have expacs. If anything Mods could/should be considered mere icecream toppings...
So if you use Mocreatures, you really have a bowl of vanilla minecraft topped with hot creature fudge, or if you use TooManyItems you are eating a bowl of vanilla Minecraft with a shaker of extra block sprinkles at your side.
Good analogy you's recon?
Technically we ALL play vanilla...

A game without mods installed is vanilla. It doesn't matter whether those mods happened to be in the form of an "expansion pack" which is simply a fancy name for a mod, or whether it was a third party mod made by somebody else.

When you say mods are you only refering to inventory editors? Or all mods in general?
I would be bored to death with minecraft by now if it were not for all the amazing mods out there to spice things up. I also really dislike the vanilla textures, I use HD textures with mipmapping - otherwise those fairly hideous stock 16 bit textures hurt my eyes.
I have two separate offline worlds, one in which I play normaly without inventory editors and one in which I do use one. When I first bought minecraft back in alpha, I didn't really know anything about it aside from playing classic for a couple days. I was rather dissapointed at first when I realized alpha was trying to be some kind of rudimentary survival game when classic was just a pure creative building game (at the time I felt classic was a far more interesting concept). I guess I've found some fun in playing survival since then, but I still prefer creative mode a lot of the time.
Also many of the mods out there have some really interesting content, many of them (such as mo creatures, sdk guns, humans+, controller block, vertical redstone ect) offer far more diversity and depth then what minecraft has without them. And many others fix things that, for whatever reason notch hasn't yet (dispensers+ being my favorite of these fixes, though I don't know if it's been updated).
I primarly play multiplayer on a server made by a friend. On that server, there are a couple mods running such as warp points. So there, I use (and and occasionally abuse) the mods. My singleplayer though, is vanilla. I still have remnants of my old alpha structure there from when I first started playing... there's something nostalgic about seeing things that bring back memories of my building of castle out of sand and dirt before I learned of crafting. How much stone I punched through and little holes I spent the night in hopes that creepers wouldn't find me... these little monuments dwarfed by towering pillars of glass and stone alight with burning netherrack shining bright with enclosed forests and farms that surpass the clouds, proclaiming my dominance over the forces of the night.
Although I may play modded worlds in the future, my world 1 is and always will remain vanilla.
u dont need a mod for infinite resources. the console is there for that. also, a vanilla server can get a bit boring sometimes. there are many useful mods which can be anti grief or many many (many) other blocks or items such as controller blocks used on our server. there are also many mobs u can put in such as birds. other mods may give funny death messages or allow you to set homes. public servers are usually overmodded to prevent griefing and stuff but they just clutter up the client way too much and makes everything really confusing. i like my friend using mods on his server. hes got this funny one where you can strike people with lightning
i use a texture pack JohnSmith Version 7.2 to make it look better. I do have toomanyitems but i only use it on a world that i mess around in such as my current roller coaster project. For my Single Player Survival world i don't use it at all.

Minecraft is a sandbox game. Some people like to bring their own toys to the sandbox, some don't. It doesn't seem like it ought to be a dividing line.

The irony is that I'm into mod-programming but don't use any myself outside of the development hehe.
