"I say! You got some combat in my world building!"
"No! You got some world building in my combat!"
*Put both in mouth*
"BRILLIANT!"
I get it, I get it, you want the easier pastime of spam clickable foes. Well, I have good news for you!
1) Peaceful is still a thing. Get your jollies out of clicking rabbits. But on a more serious note...
2) You KNOW someone is going to make a mod to make weapons click-spammable, skellies less maneuverable, and to otherwise give you the experience you want. I bet it won't be a week.
So, in short, save the salt for your french fries and go read a book or something, it'll be better soon enough.
Yeah, just hook it up to a daylight sensor with a tflip-flop do deactive it when you don't want it on and your golden. Ps totally stealing this idea lol.
A Dayling sensor is a nice idea, but make sure it has a little delay, to ensure all night mobs in moat are dead. Or include a manual switch because, heck, flaming lava death.
Maddening, isn't it? But keep in mind, Minecraft has almost always been in development, and rapid development as well. When the new set of Legos was announced when you were a kid, didn't you desperatly want the latest set for all the new, cool peices? I suspect it's something like that.
It also does not help that we know that Minecraft has sold super-mega-stupid-awesome amounts for an indie game. A faint sense of "it's been earned" may be part of it.
That said, ARRRRGH, it drives me nuts to have people squaling like children over having to wait months for a huge update, or weeks for a small one. No offence to the younger folks who play. You're young, it's kinda built into you at a biological level, I undersatand. It's the 20+ man-babies (and woman-babies) that get aggrivating.
Just remeber, for every loudmouth whiner, there are at least ten quiet people who are happy with whatever they get. They just don't often feel the urge to post, what with not having anything to QQ about.
Getting my wife into minecraft, then hearing her scream when she met her first creeper and decided the BEST place to fight it was at her front door, so she could run back in to be safe.
Because it is all about killing zombies., surviving, killing the ender dragon. You know, manly stuff.
Dudebro, you vex me. I'm a male, and at least as much a "normal guy" as you are, and I LOVE the increase in color. If I wanted grey, tan, and greyish-tan, I'd be in the bouncy room playing CoD with everyone else. You spend your time killing zombies and nether dragons, I spend my time making epic castles with a working porticullis, boiling oil (ok, lava), proper crenulations and archer's slits, and carpets, finally carpets, because if you ever spend a single bloody day in a real castle you will bless every one of those millions of tiny fibers because stone castles are cold. There is a reason tapistries were a big deal.
Oh, do tell me a working and properly designed castle is not manly.
The world is made of color. That is why I do not play modern shooters. The world is not tan. You may not notice the color of the resturaunt, or the pet shop, or the road signs, the roads, the trees, the flowers OMG everything, but I do, and I love being that much closer to being able to make the world.
Besides, it's way easier for you to not use availible color then for me to pretend it's there while you go slaying zombies for the 400,000th time.
And that's not even mentioning the pre-20th century view on females.
"He's got free monies, I don't, so you should totally be responsible in a manner I probably would not be if our positions were switched wahhhhh wahhhh."
Great advice. Nice to see the comminuty celibrating the windfall of one of its members. Let's see if we can be helpful now.
1) Build your own computer: Not because it's cheaper, but because you can afford it if you break something, or order the wrong part, and so on. Being able to to break down and rebuild a computer is a useful skill. Now's the time to learn. You can make a good rig for about $500-700, but put aside another $300 for the purpose of emergencies or mistakes. And do some research.
2) Recording and Editing: For recording, I have seen two options, Bandicam and Fraps. Both offer trials, if I recall. Try them both on the new computer, buy the one that works best for you. Less then $50.
For editing, I preferr Sony Vegas because it's fairly easy to use, and you can find a lot of tutorials for it online. $600
Consider, as an above poster mentioned, some software for editing pics. Worst case, money wise, would be CorelDraw, at $600, although you can probably make do with almost anything above MS Paint.
3) Additional Hardware: Get a comfortable headset for around $50-75. Get a mouse that is comfortable for you, and don't worry about gaming/not gaming mice. Call it $50.
4)Planning Ahead: Get a minecraft server, one with a moderate amount of RAM. Reserve enough money to pay for a year of it running. Just at a quick glance, you can get a moderate service for $10-15 a month. This is so you can invite people to play with you, maybe start to build a community (if you did not have a lot of cash to spare, I would not suggest this until you have a following, but worst case, you can just invite folks from here to play).
And finally, some honest advice: The world is filled with people who will put you down, just because. Ignore them. That said, this is the sort of project I would never spend that sort of money on, if it was money I earned. Enjoy your windfall, do your best, and have fun.
I highly reccomend you get at least one other person in on this project. It's much easier to have the sort of chatty fun that makes for a good LP when you have friends along.
Don't try too hard. If you have nothing to say, don't say anything. You can and will be editing out a lot of what you record at first.
As for the remainder, two options. Offer it back to Grandma, with thanks, as being over your required budget (if she sees the sort to like that), or else use it to purchase other games to LP (again, be sure to inform Grandma, with thanks.)

I am so, so sorry. I understand having one's childhood joys turned to dust.
For me, it was Fallout Tactics.
