Dude. Its a blocky, sandbox game. No pretty trees, three types is enough.
However, I do like the 2 block tall grass idea and the flower feilds.
P.S. I meant to quote your first post. Doh!
Well, if you think creatively, you can look at a "blocky sandbox game" differently. It's not everyday we see enchanted tools and 3D space portals that lead to an ender dimension in a world of blocks. Point, though.
no minecraft is to advanced as it is, that would be out of the theme, looking at alpha versions and such, this barely scrapes by as being vanilla to the original theme, i think that what we have right now is enough, we dont need more features! except for in the nether and the end, they need to have some work done...
I do agree, but considering how advanced Minecraft has become, it wouldn't really be a disturbance. Maybe the classic version could be jumped to alpha or something, i don't know. (I bought minecraft in Beta 1.3, so I never lived through alpha)
Yes, here I am with yet again another post regarding trees and plants. This one will have quite a deal of suggestions. Here it goes:
TREES:
-Palm tree: It will have a trunk resembling fence, but possibly darker and slightly larger. Maximum height will achieve 15 blocks. There will be a different block for the heart of the palm tree, which will drop heart of palm (food item) when destroyed. Foliage will also be different.
-Banana tree: this tree will have a fence- thin, green, yellow or brown trunk. its max. height will be 5 blocks and leaves will drop 1-3 bananas upon harvesting in (said) manner.
-Baobab: They will have a sleeker, smoother looking and very large trunk, and unknown foliage arrangement/block. Max. height 10 blocks. They will grow in deserts and possibly but rarely, plains.
-Coast Redwood: I have an entire post on these trees alone, if you want you can see it here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/940569-redwoods-in-minecraft/ They would grow exclusively in SOME coniferous forests as these are huge trees (similar to slimes only spawning in certain chunks) and would grow in small pockets of about 3-4. Ultimately, they would be surrounded by sword ferns (mentioned in detail below).
SMALLER PLANTS:
-Sword fern: A small, 1 block tall and large fern that has long, drooping branches and will be entirely light green, contrary to the current fern which is a duller, darker green and resembles a miniature pine tree. These would grow plentifully and very close together in pockets, both in oak/birch forests and sometimes coniferous forests (A.K.A where redwoods would grow)
-Very tall grass: like tall grass, but it would grow up to 2 blocks high and would stay 1 block large. they would grow in some oak forests, and plentifully around baobabs/the general area they grow in (excluding deserts). If the top half is cut, the bottom half stays there, and if the bottom half is cut both halves fall. Drops nothing.
OTHER:¸
-Flower fields: These would be colorful patches of red, yellow and (not currently in-game unless with texture pack) blue flowers. They would be relatively small, as to not make them obnoxious. They would grow exclusively in large open fields, far from mountains, deserts and forests.
That's all. Hope you guys like my list. Post your thoughts, comments and suggestions in the comments. Have a nice day!
UPDATE: One of my friends, who is a newbie to minecraft, came over to my house one day. He was playing it on my main computer, and since he didn't know profile worlds were only local, deleted all my worlds thinking they were his. As a result I was forced to restart absolutely everything including my sequoias. So, I came up with a new idea. I probably won't build giant sequoias this time, only coast redwoods. I just came up with a new type of foliage. The one on the left is the new one. The right is the one you see on all my other redwoods. Tell me which one you like best!
Yes !
Redwood trees it would be awesome ! :tongue.gif:
I Believe redwoods are gigantic in the real world... about 300 feet ...
well how about we create it in Minecraft !!!
I know theres a mod that has this (Jurassicraft)
but how about have it in the real world...
They should be really rare maybe about a pile of 10 each 300 blocks traveled ?
It should be 5 blocks (sprouts) up to 125 blocks (mature) and 15 blocks in diameter.
The middle part of the tree trunk should be thick wood which is 2X2 blocks and drops 4 logs.
They should spawn in Forests, in the middle of other-normal trees.
You can also gather their saplings and grow them (sadly it takes a long time) and it can only get fertilized once (optional) from sapling to sprout, but at the stage of a sprout, it cant be fertilized anymore. So its 3 minecraft days to become a sprout (or use fertilizer to grow it instantly to sprout) then after that 10 minecraft days to become a young then 12 days to become a mature one. i dont prefer to grow them because the time needed to grow to a mature tree.
So what do you guys think of this ?
leave comments, support and ideas about Redwood in the comments section
BELOW....
How about the wood only makes 2 wooden planks each? Balance it a little. Oh, and it's saplings have a 1/2 chance of growing 2 blocks tall.
Yes, although considering that these trees would be extremely rare and i don't know how hard it would be to code the same block for 2 types of uses, it might be a little complicated. Not a bad idea though.
Well the reason the enchantments are random is because you never know which one you're gonna get, if the choices were understandable it would be too easy. All in all it's a guessing game. For example: say you go on a pvp server and you decide to fight somebody that looks quite experienced, but you find out he's practically unkillable because he chose all the best enchantments for his diamond sword and armor. Then you become worst enemies with him, and you get killed dozens of times by the same guy each time you log onto your favorite server. Same for singleplayer, you'd become overpowerfull and the challenge of surviving wouldn't be fun anymore.
You've got a point... However, if Sequoias were a complete new species and not a variation of the regular arctic trees we have, we'd need some balancing. They'd be kind of overpowered if we could use them to mass produce wood, so how about they take long to grow, and bonemeal cannot be used on them? They'd need a clearing of at least 8 blocks in every direction, and must be open to the sky, otherwise they wouldn't grow... And perhaps the larger ones would only be naturally generated, as trees that size would realistically take decades, if not centuries to grow.
Very good suggestions! I was thinking that bonemeal could be used on them but would grow in segments (e.g 1 bonemeal, 1-3 blocks in growth) and their height would be random, the tallest possible reaching to say, 50 blocks (the tallest one in the picture, the Sequoiadendron, reaches 52 blocks total). And for the natural growing time well... they do take 1 or 2 centuries to fully grow in real life, but considering any regular sized tree in real life (like the ones in Minecraft, the small ones) take at least a few months or even years to grow. But in Minecraft, they grow in a day or two and in 1 second if bonemeal is used. So, the full growing of these sequoias would take maybe 3-5 Minecraft weeks.
Oh lawdy, I don't know. The tall trees we have now are frustrating enough, I don't want to have to climb 20+ block ones, too.
Well these would not be so much for woodcutting, but they could be used as massive tree houses, several could be grown in one spot to make an eewok type village, etc. They could also be used for mass wood production, as all they would be are relatively straight wood pillars with foliage on top (if you think on the simple side). But you've got a point.
I'm probably not the first, but I just had the idea of having sequoia trees (Sequoiadendron Giganteum, Sequoia Sempervirens) be able to spawn/grow in Minecraft. They would spawn only in coniferous forests (obviously) and in taiga biomes, making them slightly rarer, as these are absolutely huge trees. Their saplings would have an extremely rare chance of dropping when the tree is cut down (which would be time consuming on its own, adding to the rarity and value of these). I recently made some in one of my SSP worlds, here is a screenshot: Tell me what you think about the picture and my idea, see you guys later!
Edit:INFO ON PICTURE: The tree on the left is the Sequoia Sempervirens, or coast redwood. the tallest tree in the real world is a coast redwood reaching 115 meters. Their foliage has the general shape of a cone, like regular pine trees/firs, etc. but MUCH larger. The one on the right is Sequoiadendron Giganteum, or giant sequoia. They have a much larger and wider trunk diameter than the Sempervirens, but are not as tall. Foliage is more dispersed throughout the tree and does not form a cone shape at the top.Yes the left one in the picture should be taller than the right if you follow the facts, but you get the idea.
If you support please click that little + on the bottom right corner, it would really help. I would also really appreciate it if you commented, as it is your feedback that fuels me for new ideas. Thanks.
NOTE: The topic poll is now closed (large enough sample, positive majority) so you will have to post your feedback and ideas in detail if you want me to consider them.
Hi. My in-game name is Jatizso, as you may tell. I've had the idea of building a 1:1 scale replica of Transformers: Dark of the Moon Shockwave on The Voxel Box.
I will build it in MOD chamber 4 then move it somewhere on the map, if this gets approved. I would like to know if I have permission to execute this project.
I am planning to build something quite big. I'd like to know if this is a valid project for me to execute, as it is a large castle and Quombo, FortunateKing and jmck95 are intending to help me with it. It might require a Voxel Valley to be built in, so I'd like one to be made close to White-Valley town, if possible. Please reply if you like the idea or not.

In the middle of normal trees? They're conifers.

Huskerz I don't know what you do in your life to spam like that, but I sure don't want to know. This is Minecraft Forums not Youtube, ass.
