Only one tree near the start at the top of a mountain on an island. No animals were to be found within close distance.
After exploring this it was spectacular with lots of waterfalls and lava falls. Finally found a biome with trees eventually but you'll need a boat or to climb some mountains to get to it!
Just go into creative mode and realize under decotaraion how little we have in the way of decorative blocks. Jeb says he won't add blocks unless they serve a purpose. The problem was finding purpose.
I say SCREW purpose. The whole game does NOT have a purpose. The world is FULL of all sorts of minerals, and materials that we've found uses for eventually.
This game is MINE and CRAFT. There is only so long you can mine Iron Coal Gold and the occasional diamong before you get bored out of your mind. Usually people go straight to level 11 and mine there. There is no purpose for mining half way down.
There should be mid ranged ores.
How about quartz? Use it for decoration and or timing devices like for timing tnt detonators?
How about salt to use for food? For animals?
How about other gems to make NON FLAMABLE colored blocks (wool is useless) or tools.
How about potassium and other minerals to allow us to make gunpowder but make it rare and only at mid range.
How about making different decoration blocks? The sandstone chiseled and smooth blocks were the best thing they added in a YEAR! Now we can make semi egyptian looking temples and such. I wish there were more! There is an infinite amount of blocks so why not add all sorts of variations? Let us decide what to do with them.
People are complaining about the new gravel. I don't care. Bring back 3 or 4 types of gravel and let people use them how they want to use them to decorate. Don't change what you have.. JUST ADD MORE.
Bottom line - we need more blocks.. put the old gravel in there. Have gravel type 1 2 3 4 and 5 if you want. I mean go to creative mode and see how many blocks there are for "decoration" basically nothing.
They need to add so many more different blocks that can be used for decor and building in the meantime until they figure out what use it is for.
If you cut cacti down or shear sheep it shows 3 blocks but you only loot one.. the others disappear. Sometimes blocks show as available to be picked up but you can't.
A reminder of my earlier post: That's an excellent solution so long as you can expand your armchair response to let designers know how to globally push a texture pack change to their entire audiences.
I'm not displeased with the overall product it is a fantastic idea making a virtual sandbox world where you can build things. But they restrict the amount of things you can build and mine. Its called MINE CRAFT but you can only mine coal iron gold and diamond so long before it gets REALLY boring. There needs to be many many more different building materials even if it is just cosmetic. Wool just doesn't do it for me. I don't care about all the other stuff people complain about. If you dont like all the other additions such as magic etc don't use it. But if you are trying to make a virtual world, and emulate stuff about the real world, why limit what it is made out of? There should be copper, and tin, and silver and turquoise and platinum and uranium and potassium (to make our own gunpowder etc) heck even SALT would be an addition and would have many uses.
CRAFTING could go so much further too even if some of the things were purely cosmetic but they have no plans or work at a complete snails pace.
What really pisses me off is the fact they wont add any blocks unless it has a "purpose". WTF - does a geode have a purpose? No but it still exists! Add everything and make them all rare and only in certain biomes and people will come up with purposes on their own even maybe via mods. Maybe they'll use the blocks as part of a structure. Just ADD THEM. Then work on a purpose. Mining is boring as hell.
Mine coal, iron, gold and rarely diamond. Game over.
Nothing else. The lack of ores and the sheer boredom of mining 3 hours just to pick up a couple diamonds (I played actually 3 hours last night at level 11 and 0 diamonds) has made this game almost over for me.
The mods make it playable but the constant updating makes everything unplayable you can't keep a world running because they keep breaking old worlds with all the changes.
I say they add a crap load of different ores and things to mine and don't give them a purpose yet. That way they are in the game, and you can add recipes and stuff later, that way people who build worlds etc won't be affected by major changes.
There REALLY needs to be more reward to mining by finding the odd unusually rare ore / gem.
I just wonder why they are not INTENDING on doing it. They have the opportunity to do something spectacular with some of the graphics cards out there. With the new VR helmet the Occulus etc and all that coming out it would be like a virtual world.
Am I missing something or do we still need to do a bunch of crap to get it to work?
Why isn't this just supported already? I mean its one of the glaringly needed features other than some of the other frivolous stuff they've been adding.
I like emeralds tho they serve no purposes in tools. In 1.4 or which ever new update's coming out, I want random generated volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. All those disasters. New animals, biomes, dimension, recipes, items, and blocks.
was thinking the same thing... meteor strikes that happen randomly and make the screen shake.. you go and investigate and this is the only way to get a really rare ore that is used for weapons and armor only.
Volanoes yes.. totally missing.
More blocks yes .. totally need more blocks even just for decoration purposes for building material.
The trading in this game sucks so bad its almost useless. Need to set up a system like Tale of Kingdoms..
The solution should be there could be different "types" of gravel which is true in the real world. You could even call them "stones" or "pebbles" if you want and use the old texture for stones.
As much as I like these "mini" changes its just setting the mod community back further and further. Mods are the only real good part about the game. So anything they change just makes more work for the modding community until there is an API to speed things up.
Good decisions. I'd still hire another programmer though. At least get the basics down of what you want the game to be and let others mod the rest. Its still missing a lot of core features to make this a complete game.
I guess he must have caught wind that jeb might leave soon and has been getting offers ..
