MineTV Debuts Tomorrow, with special guest: Marc Watson!

Everyone loves a good mod spotlight, texture pack review, or awesome video - what could possibly be better? How about all 3 at once, and more, LIVE? If the idea of high-profile guests, the latest in Minecraft entertainment, community interviews and features interests you, read on.

MineTV - a new livestream show - will be shown every Wednesday at 9:00pm EST (GMT -5), starting this Wednesday, July 25th! This isn't any ordinary livestream, however; We have hand-built a TV studio, complete with stage, working green-screen, and stands for audience members. Users will not only be able to watch the interviews, reviews and more on the stream itself, but limited numbers of people will be a part of the live studio audience as well!

We mentioned guests on the show, but what kind of guests? Anyone the community has an interest in, of course! High profile video makers, modders, texture pack makers, and more - this week's special guest is none other than Mojang's Marc Watson!

Want to be a part of the live studio audience for the first episode, and get your name forever written in the annals of livestream history? Shoot us an email at [email protected], with the following information filled out:

In-game name
One question you would ask Marc Watson of Mojang, if you could

Optional Info:

Age
Country of origin

That's all you need to do! If you are accepted, you will receive an email with all the info you need to connect to the studio server.

Want to take a tour of the studio before the show? You can visit us on the studio test server all day today! Details are below - we look forward to seeing everyone, and thanks for supporting MineTV!

The way I see it, you could have another hot key config in the options that toggles the duel wielding, default is T, You could press T anytime to use duel wield. I think the scroll wheel would still work perfectly fine, seeing as it scrolls for the item of choice. To pick what to duel wield in the second hand can be used by the P key, for Pick. It's hard to explain my concept but It could be done.

If it is a creative map cheats are switched on automatically. If it is a survival map you cannot turn them one without manipulating the save file.

Thanks , but i dont understand why they have added cheat mode , if you still need third part mods to cheat....

Same reason people place lights on the wall or ceiling in real life instead of holding them. Holding them takes up valuable arm space. Also, particular to Minecraft, it's not going to prevent a dark room from spawning skeletons to simply walk in with a torch from time to time. You'd still want to place them.

But I suspect that dynamic lighting like that -- that has to change every time the player moves -- might be very demanding on the game. And for a relative little gain. Unless it's not, 'cause I'm not really that computer-oriented. If it's not, sure. If it is, not worth it.

Glowstone can be pushed by pistons, and the sun moves in the sky (light levels change when it moves) so I think the lighting is already somewhat dynamic. But you could be right.

But as long as the glowstone is being pushed it is not glowstone but block 36. And block 36 doesn't give off light. So basically the light source disappears and appears at another place. And during sunset and sunrise the light level changes all over the surface almost at the same time. So both of your examples cannot really be compared with moving light sources light handheld torches. There was a mod actually that made torches produce light in the player's hand. But the problem was it lagged quite a lot and the light updated separately for every chunk. So a chunk only got light while you were in this particular chunk.

Ah. Well, think about this: other games have dynamic lighting, so I feel that perhaps minecraft could too. However, due to my limited knowledge of how graphics engines work, I don't know how easy or difficult this would be.

Other games don't have an world that 100% of all of the millions upon millions of cubic meters of potentially visible blocks can be seen or not, or be transparent.

Frankly I'm surprised sometimes that Minecraft runs at all.
