1.8 is a good idea. I tried 1.10 and for whatever reason it just sets my computer on fire (it gets really hot when it's just vanilla. not a good sign). Which one are you gonna do?

It's my first time doing it so I'm doing the Human race. Sadly I'm on hard mode and no hostile mobs are spawning . Which one are you doing?

I've been working off and on on this challenge and my challenge. Now I'm working on the castle building challenge.

Originally, I started doing this... 3 years ago? I was in high school still. Junior year, I think. (Page 125 or so) on a potato of a computer. I did the beginner challenge first and then moved on to the Human. I'm still in stage 3 after all these years.

You can go and check my challenge out too, if you want - The M-FCB Challenge.

They changed some of the video settings. Check them and then try 1.10 again. They added shadows and a few other things.

You mean added the option to disable them? I looked around and wound up disabling something I shouldn't have..?? They're confusing for this non-techie person. @ n @

How do I post spoilers? I'd like to post what I've done so far. (I'm not a good builder, but I'm trying!)

Woohoo! Stuff!

turns into

Thanks Monarch! Here's what I've got:

I started out the human challenge yesterday, and I'm surprised how I've never seen this type of challenge before! Here's what I've done so far (I'm stuck on the first step and I'm stuck with a crummy computer)

Since I can't figure out how to do pictures inside spoilers (I'd love to know how!) I present to you a quickly made Imgur post!

Huh, people are posting again. I've got a 3-day weekend so I guess maybe I'll replay Minecraft. There may be some more posts by me in a few days. I just never seem to be able to stick to these challenges.

Images are also easy.

(Please forgive formatting. I'm on my tablet)

I'll edit this with a better example later.

Wow, this thread got huge... I'm restarting this challenge, as I've been away from minecraft for a while. Also, I'm using the RTG mod, as it makes the landscape so much prettier.

Wow ok this thread is being active again... how does that even happen?

My first post here was on like May 2, 2012... that's like 4.5 years ago? wow .-.

Well maybe we will finally get at least some prototype of that update we've been "working" on for a year now? 2 years? Long overdue. Hopefully warlock can find the time to dig through his files and find the stuff we made so far, so that someone can work on them and complete them. We were trying to build them as we wrote them, which is some of them are kinda incomplete.

Anyways, someone should totally make a server where people can work on challenges if they want to. Maybe we could even use it to retry (and fail) the advanced challenges or whatever we decided to call those update challenges.

i can do some disigns for you

It's not that we need designs for things, it's that it's been two years with no server or wind of the new challenges. This has worked against the forum and challenge itself. People lost interest. The same challenges have been up for.. what? 4-6 years now? Something like that. So it's old and people aren't interested because there's nothing new. Thanks to that, the topic has kinda died.

If we can make it new and interesting again (maybe update the rules? Add side-challenges? Update the banner up top and the footer banners?) people will want to play again.

And now I sound like every videogame/tv/movie company ever.

Currently doing the Dwarf challenge and the hardest part by far is the TNT. Just collecting all that gunpowder takes far longer than anything else in each stage.

Good to see someone's keeping this alive, I kind of gave up after realizing how much material I would need to build a castle of the size I wanted.

Still supporting this fully, waiting for all the ideas you might be able to execute.

Slow and Steady wins the race, eh?

Honestly I think most everyone is busy with life now and kinda forgot about it.

Trust me I haven't forgotten about this haha. I am VERY busy with life and currently in a financial struggle paying for college so I'm currently working all the time and just trying to make it through. But I haven't forgotten, in fact I still come check on this thread every so often to see if anyone is still playing. I don't know about the team, I haven't heard from them in over a year, but I still come check and even play one of the challenges a bit when I have time.

I don't know if I'll ever update this honestly. There have been so many minecraft updates since then, meaning every single challenge would have to be updated as well as the challenges I never released. If I ever did do something, it would just be releasing the ones I never did and calling it final. It's great though that people still do these every once in a while! I'm glad people still find enjoyment with it. Have a great day guys!

Honestly, though, there shouldn't be that many changes necessary. Maybe a few new requirements but building challenges don't really date.
