There's absolutely no way to make it move on its own. I think they did one of two things:

1) They made a machine that can calculate how long it would take to go X distance at a certain speed
OR
2) They made a bunch of wires to make it look real, and it's total BS.

Please just stop

Is anyone else sick of people saying this mod sucks even though they havent tried it?

Is anyone else think its a bit irritating that all you see on the Yogscast new video about it is "ADD TO SHADOW OF ISRAPHAEL NAO!" even though the should know * well its only solo?

Please increase aechor plant spawn rate by atleast 50%+ !!! I have found only 3 so far and i've been playing quite awhile. Tamed my first moa and it went and jumped off my island. Now i can't get another one for like 5 hours!

And decrease Zephyr by a few

While your at it. Make the wolf AI better

1. Doesn't pointlessly walk to its death
2. Read #1

This seems like an utterly pointless mod, besides the dog house and the dog armour.
Also the name your dog, backpacks, health and also breeding have already been done.
Although this is just my personal opinions.

Y U NO LIKE POINTLESS MODZ

I just saw this thread and figured I'd make the opposite. What are the most overrated games/series you've played?

I would have to say the entire Call of Duty and Halo series. Call of Duty 4 was definitely good, but I don't think it deserved the amount of praise it got.

Halo
Modern Warfare

Alright, here you go.
Hope this helped! :biggrin.gif:

Edit: This is the easiest way of doing it lol.

i think he means all 9 glass blocks move and just not 3 at a time

Nicely done

Weird... only explanation:

1. You've been hacked and you need to change your password.

*EDIT*: Or yeah, fake.

It wouldnt matter if he was hacked. the world is saved to his computer, not his account

Give me a source. When it's proven I will be ecstatic. I started watching his videos when he was on his last episode. I watched the whole series and it was amazing. Also he was one of the first minecraft commentators!

I recently made a nice dungeon grinder that has 3 switches and 4 types of spawn light (High, med, low, none) I'll post pics soon when the server i made it on comes back up

The lightswitch: Turns on/off the lights in the grinder. Its the simple version of lights. In order to activate small spawn this must be switched off, then the floodgate, and then it must be turned on again.


The floodgate switch: This turns the water flow on/off to push the mobs into the grinder area. Or just lower the light level of the floor slightly.


The floor switch: This opens and closes the floor so they fall into the grinder area or not. When the floor isnt open it allows mobs to group before pushing them all in the grinder for a "load kill". This also allows for safe maintence so you dont fall in the grinder after done working. The switch for the iron maintence door is above the door.



No Spawn: The light level is high enough where they dont spawn. This level prevents spawning and puts the grinder on "sleep mode".


Low spawn: The room is lit, but since the water brings the light levels down a bit they spawn. This level spawns about 2-3 skeletons per minute.


Medium Spawn: You open the floor area to let a small amount of torch and lava light in and the middle piston in the ground gives off a small amount of light. It a bit more then medium but not quite high. This level spawns about 3-5 skeletons per minute.


High spawn: There is no light coming into the room except for maybe a wee bit of torch light coming from the doorway. This level spawns about 6-7 skeletons per minute


The dungeon is 7x7 itself with a full mossy floor. The floor switch is 7x1 and when the floor is closed it makes the dungeon 7x8

PS: I posted this in a discussion about what people made with pistons, but I made a new thread so people can tell me a few adjustments or ideas i can add to it

You may want to read this too: What you pay is what you get or this: The problem with 1.8/1.9

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you don't want to read ALL of it, don't do it, but don't comment either, I don't care whatever you have to say if you don't care what I have to say.


Every single day we see at least one new topic complaining about the game, developers, etc. There are 3 main things they complain about (there are some other things but these are the most common ones):

1-Most recent version changes ("It's laggy", "it has al ot of bugs", "X thing is stupid/ugly/useless", etc.)
2-Minecraft gettin' boring/losing its essence (Nothing really interesting to be added soon, etc.)
3-Minecraft isn't sandbox anymore (becoming more RPG-like, etc.)

Let's face it, 90% of the complaints are simply useless repetitive troll dump without justification, no logic and basically, no reason to exist. A lot of people complain just because they can. Sad part is that probably 30% or more are pirates, who didn't even pay for the game and have no right at all to complain about anything. It has some kind of sense if you complain for something you paid for, but if you play it for free, you didn't lose ANYTHING and of course you have no right to do it.

So, what I have to say to this kind of complaints is this:

---------------------------

1- If you don't like newer version, don't update (and backup your .jar file). No one forces you to update, the game even asks you if you want to or not. If it's a pre-release, don't download it. As simple as that. Now, you can play latest version and give a realistic and well-founded opinion, expressing some clear and fair reasons why it is not ok and some options that could make it better.

If you simply make a "I hate this"-like topic, you're just an useless member of the community, a troll or/and a childish person. Rage quits, rage topics, bascially anything rage-related is just the proof you're a noob, if you do, please leave, we don't need you, game doesn't need you, and probably not even your parents and friends need you because you're probably just an i****.

Game is supposed to change, evolve, and improve, and it is exactly what is happening. You can't complain because it has bugs or lag, because it is under developement and it is a beta. They are adding all the important bases the game will need for its launch, and as they confirmed recently, they will finish adding new stuff next 18th and freeze the code to start polishing the details, correcting main problems and bugs, and basically solving the problems you have been finding and reporting so far.

They DON'T have to do all that while on beta, the reason they usually released versions like 1.7.2, 1.7.3, 1.8.1, is to fix bugs that make some specific things impossible to use for everyone, not allowing them to keep testing the game. Not all people has lag either, so trying to solve that now would be a lost of time because adding new content may cause the lag to come back and they'd have to solve it again, which is wasted time.

---------------------------

2- There is no such a thing as "essence" in a game that wasn't even released yet. You can't say "minecraft is losing/has lost its essence" because Alpha and Beta testings are not real versions of the games. You can, for example, say that if a probable future version 2.0 isn't as good as the upcoming 1.0 release, but otherwise, you don't know what you're talking about. You can say it if you play Minecraft as it is, and some day they release a new Minecraft 2 that is nothing like this. That's what losing the essence means.

And if you're bored, there are two probable causes. First, you rushed buying the game because everyone was doing the same, and you didn't even think about it enough to see if it was what you were looking for. Second, you simply get bored easily or you don't have imagination because you spend too much time playing videogames and watching TV and you didn't learn how to use it, because you probably don't read books or something that actually improves your imagination. My advice, instead of making a complaining topic, make a "give me ideas" topic. If you think minecraft is losing its essence, think again, game isn't finished yet, it still has no "essence".

---------------------------

3- A lot of people complains about the game getting RPG-updates, and saying it's not sandbox anymore. But you people need to know what a sandbox game is:

The sandbox genre is a open world system. Minecraft has a 131,071,992,000,000,000 blocks big open world with billions of blocks in an seed-based generated world that it's almost impossible to fully explore.

Sandbox genre usually has a free-roaming world. In minecraft you can go anywhere you want, whenever you want, you're completely free.

A sandbox game is supposed to let the player be creative and there is no "right way" to play it. In minecraft you can create whatever you want, build any kind of structure or artwork just by using the blocks, and there are no rules, you can do it the way you prefer, you don't need to follow any instructions, you don't have to do it the way everyone does it.

Sandbox games usually don't have a limit, like lives, which basically lets you play forever. In minecraft you barely have a "life-bar" that may cause you to die, but you have no lives, no continues, you can keep playing over and over even if you die.

Things that aren't pure sandbox in minecraft: Mobs, animals, food and hunger system, health, armor, weapons, abandoned mineshaft/strongholds and villages (optional), potions, etc.

Which of these things actually changes any of the things that make this game a sandbox?: None, there is not even one thing in the RPG-like add-ons this game has that limits your world, making it smaller, not free or making impossible for you to modify it. And you can still play forever if you want.

---------------------------

Conclusions: People is always complaining simply because they can do it. They have too much free time, and not enough knowledge, so they just say the first thing that crosses their minds, without even really thinking about it.

Minecraft is a sandbox game. None of the recently added RPG-like stuff change that. There is no reason to complain about the game lossing its essence, first of all because it doesn't have one yet, this is a testing period, alpha and beta, in which game is supposed to change A LOT. Until the game is officially released, you can't even speak about essence. The game is a lot like the way it was in alpha, but with new things that, basically, improve the same things the game has always had.

Game has been improved through alpha and beta testings, and of course it has problems, that's why this phase is called "testing", because the game is supposed to be tested to find bugs and problems, so they can be corrected WHEN THE GAME IS RELEASED, there is nothing that forces Mojang to correct all of them while in beta testing, because some of them are hard to fix, and may re-appear after adding some things. That's why they'll freeze the code and stop adding new stuff this month, so they can start solving problems, making Minecraft 1.0 (full game release on 11/11/2011) the most bug-free game they can.

What to do before complaining:

- Think before you do. Is it logical? There is a reason to do it?
- Use forum search (or your eyes) to see if no one made exactly the same complain, so you can agree there.
- Don't troll and be respectful. What would you do if you were attacked because of your decisions? programming a game isn't so easy. If you think you can do better, make your own game

P.S.: English isn't my native language, so there should be a lot of mistakes.

I'ma check it out. =)
To those demanding screenshots, in the time that it takes to wait for those to get up, could have already been checking it out for yourself.
I'll put some up though once I've given it a look.
