I'd like to see a real return for investing so much into a golden apple - 72 gold ingots and semi-rare apple deserve more than full health. Perhaps increase the player's maximum health by two hearts in addition to restoring their health entirely?

I like it too, see this thread

A small 1 block meteor should be equivalent to 1 TNT. A 3x3 meteor should really make a bang.

Maybe have a 5% chance of landing around your base.

Ouch. Like creepers aren't making enough mess.
But i like this idea, it encourages you to explore your area again and again.

It reminds me about Survival mode in Left 4 Dead... which I don't like.
But anyway, adding new game mode would be nice.

-Spiders can jump 3 blocks high and 5 blocks forward
-Zombies now have 20 hearts but now have 75% move speed (making them excellent base destroyers)
-Skeleton arrow arc is now much better

Doh. Just make all monsters invincible, it will be the same.

From what they mentioned in the video, the new lava blocks don't spawn immediately, it takes a while for them to form, and may even depend on map direction in order to form properly, the way minecart T tracks will only send the minecart in certain directions.

I made a pool of lava that looked like this:

I made it 10-15 minecraft days ago, but no new lava sources were created since then.

Well, my debit card is completely useless in the Net or in the other countries.
But you just reminded me about one thing... I heard about "virtual Visa" service. This might help.

Virtual VISA worked fine. Now I'm happy legal user.

If you want an obsidian factory go with this

I don't understand how this facility works.
1. where is lava source? I saw a lava spring in the wall, but AFAIK lava sources can not create another lava source, so it have to be finite.
2. what did this guy speak about "magic water gate"? what kind of trick is it?

Can anyone explain this to me?

Adding the heart progression, and penalizing death by loss of 1 heart level increases the danger both at the start of the game, and throughout by giving you added incentive not to die, because if you do die a lot, the game is more difficult.

I disagree. If player keeps losing, then game is already hard enough, so it's not nessesary to make it even more hard.

* Reverted mob spawning back to the old code, it was far to annoying. I have plans on what to do with this.

Hip-hip-hooray!

The heart blocks idea is pretty bad. To implement this, Notch would have to add 2 types of ultra-rare blocks - it would be just waste of block IDs. Blocks are resources, you usually have to craft them into something you can use. And the more complicated crafting is required, the better item you obtain.

I think that golden apple perfectly fits as heart bonus. It takes much efforts to craft, it already exist in the game and it's current purpose (healing for 10 hearts) is totally inadequate to it's price (72 gold ingots, as apples will be easier to obtain later).

I think you should be able to make a head torch that is a helmet but doesnt break or work as armour

If I remember correct, Notch said he can't add dynamic lights right now. Only in the future, may be on Beta.

I like that idea... I saw something similar in VGcats...

So raise the challenge level by increasing hazards, not as you point out, throwing tons of monsters at us. Improved physics on stuff like dirt so things like progressive cave ins are possible. Heck, maybe even solid stone should risk caving in if certain support rules get violated. Make us haul wood down into our mines or use cobblestone to reinforce large operations. Etc.

And THIS sounds like good idea to me.

I'm still playing previous version because i've read enough complains about spawn rate, so i don't want to install Haloween update anymore...

= 4 triggerable blocks.


Where is gravel, is redstone, and is slimeball from slimes.

This kind of blocks is "sticky", like stone or dirt.
When powered, this block turns into gravel, which in turn can fall down (if there's place to fall).
So players could make nice redstone-powered traps or flood gates not messing with sand&torches.
Every powered block should activate all adjacent blocks of that kind.

Using golden apple to boost max health sounds good for me.
Think about it, you have to find 81 blocks of gold ore to make one golden apple. And you will get only 1 additional heart. One zombie kick deals 3 hearts of damage, one skeleton arrow - 2 hearts.

Even without "death penalty" it would be hard to get advantage from additional hearts.
