I suggest the Summerfields texture pack. It is the most beautiful texture pack I've played and the one I keep coming back to. The colours are bright and cheerful, the mobs are fully customized, and it adds animated grass that sways in the wind. Definitely my favourite texture pack.

Seeing how U.S. patent law is getting progressively more ridiculous, if they have the legal muscle to actually do it they might just get away with it. Last time I checked you still couldn't copyright frigging dictionary words, though.

I mean, come on.

Why is your face useless?

Okay.

I just always assumed that people liked to work within Minecraft's limitations as an additional challenge to their creativity.

I'm kinda fuzzy on what you're trying to accomplish with this post. Are you just arguing against the idea that Minecraft is good for building stuff with, or arguing that people shouldn't be using Minecraft as a building sim at all? :/

Quote from rexo12(my ingame name)

its actually a bit mean to lie to a noob, such as in beta 1.3, a 4 year old who can't read, what does this red-white block do? "gives you gold" clicks, boom. Not very nice

I'm an asshole, what can I say.

Quote from NetWalker

P.S. He / She is a liar. Monsters spawn in the dark and attack you. Creepers explode en contact.

You're no fun.

Quote from rexo12(my ingame name)

don't believe a word she says, creepers explode on contact. if you'd had got the game last week it would've been $20.00, now its $30.00.
other wise, read the goddamn minecraft wiki!!!

You, sir, are a liar. Creepers and loving and friendly creatures.

In the game, you will find friendly tall green creatures called Creepers. The absolute first thing you should do is locate one, go up to it, and give it a hug.

Yeah, I agree. This goes for many many other things than Minecraft. Things are generally better if creators are allowed to follow their own visions and create works with depth and artistic unity rather than listening to demands of the unwashed masses.

No, because I don't like to engage in pointless nostalgia and don't consider whining my part-time job.

Also, don't act like you don't have the option to play the game the way you like it or the way you want to. There are older versions available, there is the option not to use the new features. You just like to whine about it.

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.

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.

Type [light], and it will show you the current light level of the sign's position. [biome], [temp], [humid] each tell you the biome you're in, the temperature of that area, and the humidity of that area, respectively. [temp], [humid] will no longer function in Nether.

Death Chest 1.6.2
When you die, if you have a chest in your inventory, it will be placed where you die, or in the closest available spot. The chest will be filled with as many items as possible. Items stored in the crafting slot are still lost, as usual, and any excess that won't fit in the chest will be dropped.

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.

Spawner GUI 1.6.2
Adds a GUI to all mob spawners, that will allow you to pick what mob to spawn. I also reallowed mining spawners. You can disable spawners with redstone aswell. Should be compatible with all mobs, but don't expect the mobs with special spawn conditions to work everywhere. Animals require grass, Monsters require darkness, Slimes require being in their special chunks, and 0-16 depth. Requires ModLoader 1.6.2.

Block Distortion 1.6.2
This mod is just an experiment. Everything that is 3D (Mostly noticeable on blocks) has a random distortion. Known issues include: Clouds randomize as they move across the sky, held items look rather odd, and GUI elements may be screwed up. I don't recommend using this mod long.

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.

I responded, and emailed Enjin about their intention to hack other servers.

Greetings,

It is my good faith belief that "LegendaryCraft", located on your servers, is in violation of your terms of service, in particular 4.1 (A), 4.1 (B ), 4.1 (D), and 4.1 (L). The offending article is located below.

Link Removed

In it, LegendaryCraft asserts that they are affiliated with Legendary Pictures, makers of such blockbusters as The Hangover, Inception, and The Dark Knight, to name a few. They also go on to threaten to compromise the security of any Minecraft servers they feel too closely copy their style, in order to download the source code powering those servers, and "shut them down".

LegendaryCraft was also banned from the official Minecraft forums (see below link) for posting falsified customer reviews.

Link Removed

I believe in good faith that LegendaryCraft represents a group with criminal intentions, who plan to execute those intentions via nefarious methods. I humbly ask that you review these people for possible violations of both your Terms of Service, and possibly local, state, and federal electronic laws.

Thank you.
