August 2011 Minecraft Beta 1.7.3

"when you play minecraft the first thing you need to do is mine trees"

spawns on a beach
"where are the trees"

ocean to left, sand to the right, ocean in front of me, and ocean behind me
I found a forest to my right after some walking and learned enough to get myself lost
when I finally found where i started night set in and i was murdered by skeltons

night was terrible so I built my house out of cobble in the ocean and set it to peaceful
(Eventually i used cobblestone as lily pads to cross because I was tired of swimming)
(finally upgraded to powered rails after much rage)
After building a compass rose out of signs based on the "sun rises in the east sets in the west"
(that was when the sun rose in the north in minecraft; whoops)

to the west were sun islands where if you started walking at sunrise you wouldn't reach the end until sunset

to the north I found snow and set up a quarry hole to test TNT
(I also discovered that shallow water wasn't a cure-all for fall damage)

across the ocean was another snow biome intersecting with beaches and oceans
(ever stand on an frozen ocean as far as the game can render)

behind the forest to the south I attempted to quarry so that i wouldn't need to mine
(now i mine without torches; oh how far i have come)

after rage-quitting minecraft I tried texture packs
(zelda :lttp: textures were my first instinct)

I also replaced purple wool with the glass texture
(That is when i learned that minecraft doesn't appreciate that)

that excitement quickly wore off so then I tried mods
the first mod I used was Too Many Items (before Not Enough Items)

then I tried the aether mod
If you find that learning minecraft vanilla is rough try to learn with a mod installed

that world grew quickly and burned my computer to crisp
(if you play minecraft and slowly as the weeks go by you hear a popping sound those are the capacitors in your video card)
when the video card finally went minecraft exploded into a rainbow of colors and I lost some of work
(that was when you had to occasionally remember to press ESC to save minecraft)

because of the aether and my friend I was able for awhile to dabble in minecraft modding
I added redstone blocks (red lapis), coal blocks (black lapis), several colorful gemstones (clear as ice, and smooth as diamond Blocks), onyx and marble, a food item "red potion" (legend of zelda) , a cake food item retexured as a cheeseburger, whose recipe was a cooked steak between 2 loaves of bread, a black rose that acted like a block and glowed like a redstone torch, rainbow block(clear as ice, and smooth as diamond Blocks), a flower patch of grass that worked like grass but whose top texture was a patch of flowers.

I tried to add yoshi as another moa (blue with the wings) and tried to change the nether (black sky, water instead of lava, really well lit, and entirely made of rainbow blocks) while I was making these changes my computer quit. It hasn't worked for 2 years now (I use an all in one now :l)

Its been a long rough road for anyone learning minecraft from me.

I have seen multi-blocks in mods like Ars Magica, Applied Energistics, Railcraft, and … well you get the idea, however I have never seen a mod based on mob based multi-blocks. This is how I imagine the mod could be created.

Imagine if you used a blaze as the core of a powered furnace. That is just one of my many ideas, here is the plan

The Mob multi-blocks will provide positive and negative effects as well as have a “decaying” effect.
As the machine is used the mob within will take damage and eventually die; however if you heal the mob within with potions then you could prolong the use of the machine. The machine will also be prone to despawning unless you name the mob within. The machine's negative aspects occur outside of the machine, so the mob core won't be affected by their own machines effects.

(This mod shouldn't need to add blocks to minecraft. … Fine maybe 1)The simplest form of this mod would only need to change minecraft's interpretation of how certain blocks function when built in a certain way.

Format:Notes


Blaze Furnace:The Blazing fires of the nether burn quickly and uncontrollably occasionally causing fires outside the machine

Spider(Any) Loom:Although creepy this loom functions as one would expect.

Skeleton Farm:This machine draws the life out of living things to promote the growth of plants.

Slime Moistener:This machine brings the swamp to you so you can moisten crops, however don't let it slow you down in sludge.

Magma Cube Pool:A limitless supply of lava in a convenient container.

Zombie (Pigman) Magnet:Zombies seem to have a magnetic personality and what with all that metal they could potentially be carrying on them it only seems fit.

Enderman Teleporter:The enderman is nice enough to give you a ride to your other portals, just don't get too sick on the ride.

Creeper TNT:How much can you destroy with 8 blocks of TNT and a creeper.

Ghast Regeneration Unit:Being this buff cranks your metabolism through the roof; anyone up for a steak eating contest?

Wither Skeleton Coal Plant:Too bad you couldn't just cram the whole skeleton into the furnace; Oh well... I guess we'll be polite and wait.

Witch Brewery:WOMAN MAEK ME A POTION!!1!

Apparently no one has heard of or used the hunter class from final fantasy tactics advance.
I support this 100% bow and all.

I feel like I am about to jump at a cactus.

Quote from TVflea

No, I just don't like irrational nicknames seem to mindlessly people spew.

You seem to hit it hard that I'm 'isolated' as if everyone in the world calls gold 'bwuhdar' and I'm the oddball who, for whatever reason, decides to read tooltips. Personally, I am isolated, but not in terms of butter-gold nickname relations. I know no immediate person who calls gold butter, nor really anyone who plays minecraft. Your assertion that I'm 'isolated' in a world of butter-referring intellectuals is purely bland rhetoric.

You also say that I'm insulting skydoesminecraft and all of his precious fans because of my 'isolation from the developed buddar world'.

...and? I can insult whoever the hell I want. There's no law against it, I cannot hurt sky or any of his butter sheep physically but I can tell them that they're a bunch of idiots. And how is this any different from what you're doing? All of a sudden it's morally just for you to call everyone who uses the proper id for a game a idiotic but not for us to do the opposite?

Just one more thing, stop writing in sage-like flare. It does not help your argument, nor your 'buhdar cawz'.

First and foremost do you as an individual have a degree in english, literature, teaching, chemistry, or culinary arts.
If no
If yes

In literature (and if you don't trust me because why would you) there are metaphors which are use to say something is something irregardless of accuracy. She is a cheetah. The story behind this is that due to her incredible running abilities she is characteristically like a cheetah. Gold is butter. Either butter is weak or yellow or white or daffodil shaped doesn't change the fact that at some point some thought that MINECRAFT gold had characteristics similar to butter. REAL gold may not be characteristically like gold but MINECRAFT gold seems to be that way for some people.

The technical reason for the illiteracy behind calling gold "buddah" may indeed lie with the fact that minecraft didn't have much of anything in the way of name tags back in alpha.
Which is why
xXSlyXx(SlyFoxHound) calls iron "silver"
JesseCox(omfgcatcha) called leather "chicken" and feathers "mouse cursor"
skythekidRs(skydoesminecraft) calls gold "buddah"
Also Mob mentality makes even the most ridiculous sound reasonable and whether or not the minority agree with it they are forced into it

Texture packs and the recent change to enable renaming of items only furthers the damage/experience
People will change things to make them more enjoyable for them and their hope is that if they share that experience with some else that person might enjoy it. (too many forced social interactions caused this statement)

So seeing how your sense of humor won't allow for this type of joke
don't hate the player IGNORE them
or are you really so weak that you let your preconceived notions of how inferior this person is to you get to your very character
IF YES
IF NO

I thought we were getting spawn eggs?

We do, just check their inventories(bottom left) @ 0:58 (58 secs)

Also middle bottom what is with all that glass?

*bang* NO!

*bang* NO!
jk as the youth would say
I love how no one cares that he has killed two forum posters.
Actually he (and I) should be grateful this isn't "death note".

I wonder if clouds were always the problem; I tried playing 1.7.3 beta and the clouds freaked my computer out.

EDIT: I get the white lines too; without clouds on and everything at minimum except the brightness. However there is no point in posting it on the bug fix thread because "41% of posts are duplicates" someone has the same problem as us and has already posted it so go support them(lots of vanilla relvent blah blah blah pictures at normal fov and normal world gen. If you don't I have read where they get edgy and with good reason. They have a job to do and you doing anything outside vanilla makes their job more difficult.
*bang* NO!

I like this mod. I feel sorry for you that all these "a holes" are spewing social vomit about bring this thing up to date with 1.4.7. I mean they're going to continue this crap when mojang spits out the 1.5 "redstone update" so i say to them wait and enjoy this mod in 1.4.5 otherwise stay the **** away and leave the rest of us alone.

EDIT:(the time stamp says everything)
EDIT:(same here where are all the dragons, NVM creative is great for starting this mod, kinda like...)

Quote from NMcCoy

|| Armor - probably, of some sort, though I will be going for breadth rather than depth; that is, there will be armor items that serve niche purposes (such as boosting swim speed), rather than armor that's primarily scaled along the protection/durability axes. ||

Possibly the first time I have thought or read about a 3-dimensional tier system.
Awesome

(laughs to self considering the calculus required to establish quality in a higher- multidimesional tier system.)

May I offer an idea and/or ask a question.

Fire and Ice Rod

The coding might be a mess to work with( I've seen more than I can take), however As
I understand it, can you have an item with a durabilty that spawns an entity.

Such that the Fire Rod spawns(shoots) blaze (fire charges) and the Ice Rod spawns(shoots) snowballs.


Edit: Could a texture change to a splash potion of slow give the impression of freezing an entity
--------------

Last Thought

Using the properties of a potion of invincibilty is there a method of adding the Cane of Byrna?

With entities is there a way to spawn a block, In a similar fashion to the Cane of Somaria?

Within coding is there a way to rotate(advance) a block's texture as if one flipped the block upside-down which was the function of the Cane of Pacci
Was the Crystal Ball (Switch) meant as a reference to the crystal switch from Link to the Past?

Finally something legend of zelda other than adventurecraft. Looks amazing.

(Does my username suggest much.)

I worked with a friend of mine and we thought of an idea for a minecraft mod.

This mod would add a leatherman tool that would allow you to edit the internal properites of any block.
6 inventory slots would control how the block looks on each face of the block that the inventory slot matches.
one slot would change how the block operates.

imagine a dirt block that looks like a furnace from three sides a pumpkin on top and works like a chest

an obsidian block that melts into water like ice near light sources

or a furnace that looks like a melon

red stone would allow the block to carry current
lamps give it a glow when power is applied

opaque blocks could show torches if that was their core property

or display its contents if it were a chest

other internal slots could control upgrades

upgrades that expand the quantity or quality of core properties
or turn the block into a living thing
or the use of weapons to increase the damage output of a cactus core property
or the use of enchanted weapons to speacialize the block

every block/item could add an attribute and/or aesthetic to any block the leatherman is used on.


I wanted to share this because imagine the possibilities this mod could create

forge universal handles and or incorperates modloader
however magiclauncher won't accept forge for me
my setup

forge
inv tweaks
quinOptions
floating ruins
divine rpg
mo' creatures
rei minimap
optifine

external
treecapitator

everything is a ok except forge
this is why

how does one fix THAT ^

and THAT v

forge universal 379 : 1 errors
forge universal 397 : 1 errors
forge universal 399 : 1 errors
forge universal 400 : 1 errors
forge universal 400 : 1 errors
forge universal 411 : 1 errors

we all want to know what "1 errors" is

I would like to offer more class types for people building an RPG server other than only the 3
*mage knight archer*
I am looking for variety
