So this happend just now, i installed a few mods and installed them all correctly (deleting the metainf folder and etc) anyway after a few times of starting the game it asked me to update, i did (idk why) and then the game went black, so i shut it doesn and forced it to update again, still black.
i deleted the entire folder started again, still black.
i installed mincraft from the start deleted evertything and downloaded the minecraft.exe again, and its still goint to black screen.
Whats the problem? can anyone help me?
Are you illiterate? He posted that in his blog. Also, Notch is most likely going to take the next 2 months off.
Oh sorry i typed where instead of when >< i dont know why
Yes i expected that kind of move, taking some time before starting to update the game again its a good choice though in the last couple of months minecraft was very "unstable" everything is changing every week and stuff like that.
Seriously, no one reads Notch's blog anymore. Kinda sad.
When did he post that?
are there already plans for a new major update? i sure hope so (though we need bug fixes first)
Edit: changed where to when ... *facepalm*
You raise some interesting questions about minecraft, yes minecraft can go downhill fast if some people in the development team will make wrong decisions instead of making the game ploished and bug free (which is probably impossible though).
Also a big problem is the community, its hard to satisfay everyone in your post you say minecraft has close to no story at all and its not even interesting and a waste of time, while in another thread people are complaining that a story will ruin minecraft.
Also, if notch will decide to update the game for free with good original contact (kinda like tf2 in its first years) people will come back for more and more and more people will buy minecraft.
Minecraft is getting a lot of attention latley which means more people will buy it so i dont think it will "die" soon and beside as long as you have a few friends who still play minecraft and a LAN server you can always play minecraft (kinda like l4d, its almost dead but when you have a group of friends its not hard to find 4 people to play with).
P.S sorry if i made any spelling mistakes :dry.gif:
Welcome to minecraft, by seananners.
Also what made me bought the game.
Also the first time i heard of minecraft was from valve (they posted a blog post about it in tf2)
Notch has 12 days to:
*Code dragons so they spawn in The End Dragons are already in the game, adding them to the end shouldnt be a problem and is probably already done.
*Make some sort of way to return to overworld without dying in the end Maybe by defeating the ender dragon maybe some other way, again just because all the information isnt released doesnt mean they didnt do it yet.
*Add "Beat the dragon/boss/whatever" achivement Already in the game, do you even check pre-releases?
*Give NPCs a use Npcs use is to feed the players who were begging for "human" npcs and just because they dont have any use now doesnt mean they have to
*Fix village and mineshaft spawn (Villages intersect with shitload of stuff, most of them have roads full of holes, mineshafts are too common) Vilages are fine, just because they are a bit ruined doesnt mean they are broken think of that as if the town was attacked by creepers before you found the vilage, mineshafts arent to common i only saw a 2 and i explore a lot
*Give new items a crafting purpose (Blaze rods, powders etc.) Again, do you even check the pre-releases? blaze rods are used make magma cream which is used for potions AND to make ender eyes out of ender pearls, if by powder you mean gun powder then i have nothing to say
*Give us the reason to use potions (Boss fight?) Thats like saying "Give us a reason to use diamond tools" they help in combat (Splash potions... WHATS THAT?) they can be used for instant heals going faster getting stronger and to damage mobs
*Fix bugs, polish the game Thats why notch said he is stopping adding new fetures (about 20 days before the 1.9 release i think).
Even if he wont fix all the bugs in time it doesnt mean he will stop updating after the full game is released.
At least he tried.
Why do you even play minecraft with this attitude?
Im sorry i cant take you post seriously with that profile picture, but i will try...
Yes i agree, when i first heard there was gonna be other people in minecraft i was very excited but then i saw how they looked, huge buzz kill for me they look ugly out of place and i didnt understand what was the porpuse of them.
Then i heard and saw that they have the AI of pigs and as soon as you open the doors they just run away never to be seen again, that kinda killed that hopes for interactions with other humans in minecraft (that arent real people).
But even after all that, im still happy we finally got something that is like humans and dragons and tons of other cool stuff.
So im still excited for the update.
Current drop rate would be fine except there are barely any animals now because they dont randomly spawn, i got like 5 animals on a huge island (the size of a whole map) and a small farm of 2 of each animals (except sheeps, there are no sheeps in the entire island)
So yes, either make animals spawn randomly even after u load new chuncks or double the drop rate
I think he should drop some end game items not just an obsidian block.
make him drop each time you defeat him a random dragon tool which will be made out of the dragon skin or maybe obsidian. this tools will be the "ultimate" tools they will never break and will dig as fast as diamond (or maybe metal to make them less powerfull).
This will be a great reward after doing so much to get to the end and defeating the dragon, you have to build a base get iron get diamonds build a nether portal go into the nether and get a lot of blaze rods make ender eyes to find the strong hold get to the portal, rebuild the portal go to the end and after all that defeat the dragon (who seems like a hard boss) this is going threw almost all the fetures of the game and all the dimensions in the game, that should reward you with the ultimate tools which will allow you to build all the stuff you want without the trouble of getting a ton of iron and keep rebuilding them.
What are your thought? should we get "dragon tools" or maybe something else?
P.S sorry if there are any spelling mistakes or something that doesnt make sense im typing on a laptop and its having problems... :dry.gif:
It may be sandboxy now, but with Notch planning to add a goal...
Don't say "you don't have to complete the goal", because with that definition, any game that is not a sandbox but allows you to walk around and give some more freedom would be a sandbox. Sandbox games have no goal, not even optional.
So i guess in the old minecraft building a house was not a goal huh?
Getting tools was not a goal?
Getting coal to get torches to light your house that you mine with the tools you crafted isnt a goal right?
Minecraft always had goals but no one minded them because you pick what you dont like because it is a refrence to games that are RPG and you all hate on RPG games because "Minecraft is sandbox not an RPG!!!"

Wait, rounds in minecraft? Madness, this idea is stupid and it will ruin minecraft forever....
Seriously though, it is a cool idea (or maybe have the dragon drop his head which you can craft with wood to put on the walls)

I hope it will be something new, not just diamonds (cause if you got to the end you probably have enough diamonds)
