I'm seeing a big lack of Jungles. If you make some seeds using the program Amidst (or anything similar) you'll see that jungles are SUPER rare now.

I think Jeb was more influential than Notch in terms of the development of Minecraft. He's done so much for the Mojang team.

Quote from Dragon2907

But the fact is they aren't common and never have been. I do agree that been too common would break the system. The only problem is that "apparently" too many people have complained they are too rare (who should keep the comments to there self tbh) and ended up having the ore block probably been removed from and been able to obtain by mining even though you have more chance in finding 50 diamonds than just 1 emerald.

If people said they were too rare then why wouldn't Jeb just make them more common? I'm sure he removed them for another reason. Reasons that I think to be true. You cannot tie two instances to each other just because they happen close to each other or they're related to the same topic.

we get an emerald block but where is my redstone, coal, leather, feather, slime, bone blocks and i have great ideas for all of them lets get these blocks added to the game

So you want a block for every item there is? What sense does that make. A feather block? What's next? A block for Ghast tears? Making blocks for every item is like babying the player.

Note: I'm 19.
I have to be honest here, but I'm confused as to why FIFA is on here? I guess it's on there due to 3rd world countries. Anyhow, I'm debating here. Either Minecraft or Skyrim will get my vote. Skyrim has a HUGE amount of content and quests and special items. But Minecraft allows you to make anything you want, and the modding community, at the moment, is probably the best I've seen. When I look at a game my favorite part about it is the customization. Minecraft is unlimited in how you can customize your world whereas Skyrim has some limits. For example, you cannot enchant certain items with certain enchantments. Even though Skyrim has it's limits I still feel like I have unlimited options. Plus Skyrim makes me feel like a total badass, which is what separates it from Minecraft. It's very close for me, but I have to vote Skyrim. Why? Items. Skyrim has a bigger amount of unique items that Minecraft cannot compare to. Weapons like the Wabbajack, Nightingale items, Spell Breaker, etc. On top of that are all the powers, shouts, spells, and abilities that your character can use/have. So it all came down to combat and items in all reality. Customization was even between the two. I won't mind if Minecraft wins, but my vote belongs to Skyrim.
BTW, if you read this all, here's a

how can you get the cd-rom?

Look for it in the store or online. I'm sure you won't find it since it's a download only. :dry.gif:

Quote from DanekJovax

I have to echo my concerns of the OP on this sub-topic.

I made a new world and after collecting the resources, entered a new Aether. After playing there about 6 hours, I've yet to find a single bronze dungeon, though I've found at least 4 silver and 2 gold dungeons in the same area I've conducted my searches.

You do not have to because it's just your luck. I haven't found a single gold dungeon, but you don't hear me complain. It's not a bug, just bad luck. Each aether is different and spawns differently depending on the seed you have. You're just wasting your time trying to fix a non-existing bug. Go ahead and ask one of the programmers of the aether here and I'm sure you'll get a similar answer.

Everything updated for 1.6.2. The mods directory will now be located in the same directory as minecraft jar, unless the default game directory is changed, where it will act like it had on older versions.

Completely and utterly, ignore them. To all of you who are good boys and girls, I suggest you ignore them too, should they post.

Modding now has its own IRC channel on esper.net, #risucraft.

ModLoader 1.6.2
A mod, kind of like a mod manager, that stops conflicts with mods that alter rendering, recipes, add entities, gui, smeltables or fuel. If you're a modder, feel free to decompile this and learn how to make mods work with it. Inherit BaseMod and override any methods as necessary. The mod's main class file should be prefixed with 'mod_'. Read the Javadoc for information on methods available.

Elemental Arrows 1.6.2
The Elemental Arrows mod adds four new types of arrows; explosive arrows, fire arrows, ice arrows, and a joke weapon, egg arrows.. They are crafted the same way as normal arrows, but the head is replaced based on the element; gunpowder for explosive, coal for fire, snowball for ice, and egg for, well, egg. Crafting an explosive arrow only gives you one arrow, and it explodes upon impact. Crafting a fire arrow gives you one arrow, that will ignite stuff upon impact. Crafting an ice arrow gives you one arrow, that will freeze water into ice, lava springs into obsidian, put out fire, and break torches. Egg arrows spawn chickens upon impact with the ground, but there's a secret too. Lightning arrows strike lightning where ever they hit, use diamond in recipe. Homing bow recipe is same layout as regular bow, but diamond instead of sticks. Requires ModLoader 1.6.2.

AudioMod 1.6.2(Not updated for now)
AudioMod is an upgrade of sorts, and a modder's utility. Included in this mod is CodecIBXM, created by Paul at www.paulscode.com, who is the creator of the sound system used in Minecraft. It allows Minecraft to play (in addition to ogg, wav, and mus files), xm, s3m, and mod files. The only readily available feature of this mod is the ability to add new music, however, it adds support for modders to add new records and sound effects. There is a slight increase in load time when using this mod. Using this, you can also use custom sounds, alongside the originals. Custom music and sound goes into the resources folder, music in mod/music. Custom sounds go into mod/sound. For example, if I were to add a new footstep sound effect to stone, I'd put the new stone1.ogg in mod/sound/step. In game, the new sound would occasionally be played, alongside the originals. Custom sounds for things like the menu click and water do not always work, at the moment.

This is a new generator. You may select this generator in More World Options when creating world. In this generator, the world is made up of massive spheres with glass domes. Inside these spheres are random biomes. There is a random chance of a lake being placed in the center of each sphere. Usually water, but rarely lava. Bordering this lake you will find sand for water, or gravel for lava. Connecting each sphere is a wooden bridge with fence rail. Beside each sphere is a smaller sphere, which is where you will find diamond and lapis lazuli. These ores only occur here, the others are equally spread throughout the spheres. The cave generator used here is a modified Nether cave generator, where like on the surface, will generate lava below a certain level. if this lava reaches the outside, an obsidian wall will be made to hold it in.

They ruined the sounds, did any of you guys play it? i did and i am going to upload a video in a few minutes, they totally ruined the game if you jump in water it sounds way to realistic for minecraft.

MY rate for this snapshot from 1 to 10 : -48247947927

I respectfully disagree, The newer sounds add to the game IMHO. Now if they would improve the sound engine a bit more so you could tell what direction that creeper was walking up on you from ...

Welcome to the last snapshot.

Check these out:

Uniloc has lost its last 37 sues to other "small companies" they wont be able to get a penny from Mojang!

Then there is this...

Maybe they can settle this over a game of...QUAKE!

The villagers already offer emeralds in exchange for items, there's no need to mine it. This keeps players from trading early on in the game, simple as that.
