Holy crap. What about people being able to say what we wanna say?
Hmm, you must be new here.... No one has ever had that ability.
Welcome to America. :smile.gif:
On your left you'll see a gang of thugs beating up an innocent teenager and no one rescuing him.
To the right you'll see a gang of politicians beating up on a poor man, and no one rescuing him, either.
And in front you'll see KKK members burning wooden crosses in front of people's homes.
...But it's okay because it's America. Those are our rights! -

Well, the most difficult mob is the blaze or skeleton, add the spider to that.Quote from Knochenbowser
Wolfs are easy to kill (2 hits with diamond sword and it's toast)
So I don't need to worry, but Zombies need like 4ish hits with a diamond sword and with pathfinding, sunavoiding and all the other AI stuff, they became harder to kill/avoid.
I play on peaceful and i don't need a wolf.
Zombies don't really get to you often, they just have lots of hp.
Creepers don't have range and you can easily dispatch them if you don't have lag.
Slimes/Silverfish/Magma Cubes have to be above you to hurt you.
Not only do ghasts have terrible aim and no good explosive radius, but you can run around naked punching their bomb back at them.
You attack enderman's feet.
You destroy 2 endercrystals and the dragon does no damage anymore.
Skeletons have range, blazes have range and hurt you for a while because of fire type damage, and spiders jump mega-random so it's kind of hard to jump-crit them w/o getting hit also. Cave spiders just add poison to that. xD
All in all, if you can even get a diamond sword and even kill a zombie, everything should still be easy. -

VileAssassin posted a message on Is it just me, or is Jeb better for Minecraft than Notch?I understand that you shouldn't completely trust the customer, but my marketing book reports that an important part of marketing is treating the customer with respect. "The customer is always right." Even when they are wrong they are right, and it's proper to try to please as much customers as possible so that they continue business with you.Posted in: 1.1 Update Discussion
If your only priority is to please yourself then you don't have your priorities in line. Does Notch want to sell as many copies of Minecraft as possible or does he want to make a game that's just entirely his ideas? The customer is important in this equation. If Minecraft is to remain profitable, it needs to add content that people actually want and have been asking for.
Minecraft has one of the best communities ever. You shouldn't ignore your community lest they turn on you. This is where Notch went wrong and Jeb went right. Notch isolated himself from the community, so over the last few updates, he just ended up like the lazy, and greedy person that his actions were making him out to be. It's his own fault that people feel this way about him now.
Jeb is like the anti Notch. He is everything that Notch isn't (currently). So I find it hard to swallow the fact that they are equals when Notch ignored his community and has a lot of bad/unpopular ideas, and Jeb, which IMO hasn't done anything controversial yet. Jeb was working hard on Minecraft while Notch was taking his precious vacations. He was entirely responsible for pistons, which were well received. Anything mod related he was responsible for.
If you think about how many copies of Minecraft were purchased because of things like wolves, and pistons in the game. We probably wouldn't have pistons if Jeb wasn't there to implement them. Do you think that Notch would have added pistons? I seriously doubt it.
This kind of anti mod mentality with Notch is like poison. It's harming Minecraft. The game should be based off of what the customers want and if that is a popular mod, then within reason it should be considered. It's just stupid to waste time trying to think of good ideas that have been suggested so many times over by the community. That's what Notch does...waste our time.
Notch will always be the person who created Minecraft. He should be respected for this accomplishment, but we shouldn't praise him for his work after his effort wanes and his performance starts slipping. If you still support what he is doing after he stops trying, then you fit the description of a fanboy. (It's false praise!!!)
It's the same with any artist. If their songs start to suck badly and you still treat him like he's the best artist ever, you're a fanboy. He created Minecraft, but imagine Minecraft without Jeb. If Notch was completely responsible for all the ideas of Minecraft. Tell me if that would be a better Minecraft or not. -

Flalfla2 posted a message on Is it just me, or is Jeb better for Minecraft than Notch?I mean, seriously. As soon as Jeb stepped in to take Notch's place, good things started happening. Flat worlds, spawning mobs in creative, bug fixes, the list goes on. And on top of that, we don't get any more drunk twitter posts from Notch (lol) and Jeb even puts out weekly snapshots.Posted in: 1.1 Update Discussion
However, the one thing that Jeb is extraordinary at is that he actually adds things that people want. Take the ladder "fix" for example. People didn't like the ladder-hitbox loss, so Jeb simply re-added it again. If Notch was still working on Minecraft, he would have probably added some glitchy useless feature that nobody cares about(like swamps) instead. Whenever Jeb adds something, you are always saying "****, that is AWESOME!" I mean, look at the new jungle biomes! They are beautiful!
All in all, Jeb is turning Minecraft back into the user-driven, fun game that it was back in alpha. And the transition is amazing.
---------------------
EDIT:
Okay, so after a while I have found opinions on this thread all over the spectrum of possibilities. Here are the most popular opinions:
- Jeb doesn't deserve credit at all, this is Notch's baby.
- Jeb helped, but Notch is and was more helpful for Minecraft because he started the project.
- Jeb and Notch have contributed to Minecraft equally.
- Jeb is better for Minecraft than Notch because he listens to the community.
- Jeb is better for Minecraft than Notch because he is a more efficient coder.
- Jeb is better than Notch for Minecraft in every way.
- It is honestly too early to tell. We should wait an update or two before we jump to conclusions.
- Notch was better back in Alpha, but Jeb is better now that Minecraft is in a polish stage.
To help get a better knowledge of public opinion on the topic, I have created a poll in this thread for the aforementioned opinions. Hopefully we will get an interesting statistic on the Hardcore Minecraft community! -

But I guess I can take a few small requests as long as you don't really care when I get it done.

I changed a few things and made the clothes a bit darker to blend with that green. Something like that?

It's funny, every time an update comes around... I never actually play the game. I just come back making skins again. Anyway, I just stopped by to see how my thread was doing and I didn't think people would be waiting on me to open up again lol.

Emos are a bunch of kids who just cry and whine about how forever alone they are in life because they broke up with their boyfriend or girlfriend they've been with for about 2 weeks and make a big deal out of it.
It's pathetic. It's not OK to be an Emo. Nothing good ever comes out of Emo kids other than them mentioning they're forever alone and no one understands them.
Kids are starving in 3rd world countries. That's something to be sad about. Self-pity isn't attractive.

You make a fine example of people that shouldn't be talking about these kinds of things. No one said anything about the US being pure and good. Stop being so narrow minded.
You're missing the entire point of people saying that nukes are bad. It doesn't even matter if people think the nukes are for the better or worse for the future. If used, the world will be destroyed, which is not a good thing. All the innocent civilians will be rotting away from radiation because of a few people who agreed to launch the nukes. We don't want that to happen.

Thanks a lot. I wanted to get more into creating higher resolution armors but I'm still just working on player skins for the moment which I tend to be more experienced with.
