UpUp_Away95 posted a message on Could Microsoft be the end of the Modding Community?You're right - the community may indeed be well on the way to death... but the cause is not Microsoft... it's the community itself that's determined to kill itself before Microsoft even gets a chance to try to do something for it.Posted in: Discussion -

wal13 posted a message on My horse disappeared? (Now with MORE Problems!)I think the server saves the world file every thirty seconds or so, after it crashed and you logged in again, it was back in time and you were still on the horse. I think the bug is happening when a horse and a player share the same block space on log in, then the horse gets deleted.Posted in: Recent Updates and Snapshots -

I see what you mean, however I have no idea how I could run a server now without donations and break even.
The thing is, they aren't supposed to be something to "break even". It's a server for a game, not a piece of software intended to earn someone a profit! Running a server is an investment of time and money (that's something too many people don't seem to understand), and some have turned it into a way to earn money while ruining the multiplayer landscape. Good riddance, I say. If one doesn't have the time or money, then they don't do it. Why should one be entitled to segregating the game, making you have to buy features, vanilla or not, in order to turn a profit off of the server software Mojang released with intentions other than that, I'm sure? Donations are one thing, but that's not what they are anymore. -

marfig posted a message on All automation is bad and you should feel bad for spending absolutely any time not mining in Minecraft, even for a few secondsThis is a problem that Mojang has been slowly introducing into the game. Mojang makes sweeping changes to the gameplay without recognizing there are different types of play: Singleplayer, multiplayer, survival, adventure,...Posted in: Recent Updates and Snapshots
When a balancing change is made, it is almost always invariably going to affect one mode more than another. We seriously, seriously, need to get a new settings screen in this game. One that allow us to tweak our experience. This is a sandbox game, for pete's sake. -

Meh, i have added Blocks and stuff in the game myself. making a new type of stone that generated around diamond level and with a cobble-pillar-smooth-brick-cracked brick didnt take long, around 10 min or so :/
This doesn't seem to make any sense as a response to what you've quoted from my post. I also doubt that you've added anything to the game. And if you did it isn't going to be an accurate representation of how easy it is to do.
Disregarding that, however- I find the idea that a feature being easy to add is somehow detrimental to it's value.
For one thing, the only reason it would be easy to add would be because of how the game was written, which allows new blocks to be added relatively easily. (Queue discussion by people with 0 code-side citations about how the Minecraft is "badly-coded").
The reason such a change is "big" even if the code-side change was small is because it is going to be in every single copy of vanilla Minecraft from 1.8 forwards.Quote from Spaceboot1
This is one thing you white knights don't seem to understand.
I've seen people use this term a lot with regards to defending or advocating the developers choices. I don't think they know what it means, considering it is a pejorative for men that will defend women on the internet regardless of what is actually taking place.
Either way, I think any argument which starts with a pejorative term for those you are responding to is a poor one, regardless of whether that pejorative makes any sense.
I want to do enchanting. I like enchanting. I want it to be a part of my game. But it feels too easy.
Well with such a massive sample size of one, based entirely on feelings, It's a surprise anybody disagrees.
At the moment its reversed, they are losing there advanced players while more new people join in because its so damned easy the advanced players get bored as heck.
This is an assumption. There is no evidence, or citations you can provide to show that "they are losing (their) advanced players". Not the least reason being that "advanced player" has no good definition and of course there aren't exactly exit polls. Fundamentally you are basically just making it up.
The ''Dont update then'' logic is dumb, look. if i didn't want to update i would be stuck at beta 1.8 or so, i want to update but i want some sence and difficulty in the updates.
I can't make any sense out of this. The logic is dumb... "If you didn't want to update you would be using beta 1.8" (why aren't you? Why Beta 1.8?) Conversely, why do you want to update? If the update has features you give "minus points", for what reason would you update to it?
Simply not liking the new enchanting doesn't do anything.
Nor does lumping all opposition into a pejorative that doesn't apply... -

Aadvaki posted a message on Snapshot 13w47a Ready for Testing!I'm not going to join the angry crowd of people with torches and pitchforks, saying this is a bad snapshot. Unneccessary, yes, but not bad. The way I see it, this makes it easier for those who stream regularly or do livestreams at all. For the annoying idiots that don't, well, I hardly think that they'll get a huge reputation anyway.Posted in: Minecraft News
For all the complaints about lack of bugfixing, I suggest people should lay off. Now, I see the obvious problem here, but bugfixing doesn't take a month to fix, considering all the bugs that are present. I don't see this update as a hindrance, I just see it as unnecessary now. I would rather them take two or three months and add it in to that update, but, as it stands, I don't see any benefits or setbacks. A bunch of 10 year olds being able to stream is quite easy if you ignore them. There's a reason that people have mostly stopped the spam and Bob comments on YouTube, it's because they're realizing how little of an impact they make.
Now, the only real problem I see of any relevance here is the difficulty behind this, but I am optimistic. I'm sure people will get used to this or Mojang will fix errors in how this works. -

Dolphin263 posted a message on New Worldgenerator generates Cluster of same BiomsI'd like to point out to people that the problems imposed by this is easily solved by using a tool like Admist. This is an option for anyone in single player (but you'll need the seed if you want it in multiplayer.) If you're about to say "but I think using Admist is cheating", that is your choice -- live with it. But realize that the balance has changed, and because of this you should reevaluate what is cheating for you. In the end, I feel cheating is anything that either gives one person an advantage over another in multiplayer, or anything that makes the game less fun in either single or multiplayer. That's why on my server we make admist maps available to any player that wants them. It's a lot more fun to be able to locate rare biomes and fully enjoy new content in 1.7.Posted in: Recent Updates and Snapshots -

Divinius posted a message on The Mojang Team Should Play TerrariaPosted in: Future UpdatesQuote from Valimer
I'm glad you're not a developer for Minecraft otherwise we'd never get new content lol.
That's not true. You would get new content, but only after existing content was bug-free and balanced.
Also, new content would not be based on what other games do, but instead be additions that fit the existing Minecraft sandbox.
For example, I wouldn't be trying to turn Minecraft into an RPG, or into a FPS, that's for damn sure.
Minecraft's "adventure" is in its simplicity, and in turn, its ability to let others create adventures from it. It's meant to be the building blocks (literally and figuratively) for whatever kind of games people want to make out of it.
For people that want Terraria-like stuff in Minecraft, that's exactly what mods are for.
Mojang has added so much to the game recently that actually adds to people's ability to create adventures using Minecraft: all the work with resource packs, and command blocks, etc., etc., along with the (eventual, hopefully) addition of the Mod-API. That's exactly the type of thing the devs should be working on. They really don't need to add tons of pointless content (all that does is keep the narrow-minded children happy), they need to keep adding features that better allow the community to create the content they want. In this way, Mojang doesn't just create a single game, they create a platform that allows the creation of a virtually infinite number of games. -

This is one of the buggy aspects of minecraft that seriously annoys me, and I'm not that bothered by too many things in the game. They REALLY need to fix boats. Right now there's almost no point in using them because literally doing anything causes them to break without warning.

Seed: -1253178375
Spawn is also close to Mega Taiga and more Flower Forest, and within 2000 blocks of Mesa and Ice Spikes so it might be a good all around seed. I haven't had a chance to look around it much yet.
Edit: Sorry, I'm having trouble with the images and spoiler so I'm just going to link them.

Also, I thought this was Minecraft Forums, not Psychic Forums (home of predicting the future based on little to no evidence of anything!) Me, I was gifted the game in 1.4 beta, have played it ever since and will continue to hang around and see what happens. I'm honestly curious how it's going to work out. My friend paid 20 Euro for something that's given me countless hours of fun for 3+ years and even brought me closer to someone I care about, which is priceless to me. I don't feel cheated in any way.
Notch clearly wasn't cut out for this job and realized it some time ago. I'd probably feel the same in that place so I can't blame him, even if he has more money than I'll ever see in ten lifetimes.

The only other pig products I can think of are rendered fat/lard or bristles, and I'm not sure there is a point to either of those right now. Truffle-hunting or something similar is also an interesting idea.

(Please note: I cranked up the dungeon and ore spawns because I thought it would be amusing, those who want to play this seriously may want to edit those!)
The result was an overall very hilly world with a lot of water (maxed out the size of rivers), where dramatic features like big overhangs, floating islands and mountains close to y:200 are common, but without sacrificing lowlands or playability. The terrain has more of a gradual slope down to ocean level (which I didn't alter, because I chose this seed due to a water-level village I found earlier) so the 'extreme' stuff tends to look more organically placed in the environment IMO. Makes a lot of nice watery caves and repeating terraces too.
Images:
Makes some pretty sloping shores
and crazy terraces/islands
Village on 2 levels, close to spawn in this seed ("NANI SORE")
Flatter sea-level land is available inbetween the broad hills and extreme stuff
Water-filled swamp caverns are interesting

Personally I like the fact that it's non-linear, as I don't find any real satisfaction in going through a prescribed escalation/route to pre-planned goals that are basically meaningless. At least I feel like I did something creative if I built a house or planned out a cool transportation route in MC. That's just me, though. There are already plenty of games with linear advancement, bigger and badder bosses, tons of weapons, etc.
I also think some of the fancier mods like Twilight Forest, Project Zulu, Thaumcraft, etc. add this sort of challenge to the game in a way that's more suited to Minecraft. I CAN defeat the TF Lich King or flood my world with flux and spend all my time fighting off horrible wraiths, but I don't HAVE to in order to enjoy the game. I can go tackle a dungeon and get advanced gear when I feel like it, at my own pace, or I can just not go in that dungeon at all if I'm not ready for it.

I thought it was a bug? There were confirmed reports on the bug tracker, right? Either way, it's kind of horrible IMO. There's no point building a house somewhere with a nice view, if you can't even look out and see what is going on because everything looks all black and weird. Also ruins taking screenshots from inside caves, overhangs, etc. It just looks... totally bad. If it's a feature then it needs to go, because I can't imagine a reason anyone would want this unnatural visual glitch.
That and the bug I've been getting with constant overlapping music that never ever ends, should have been fixed before release. But I'm sure they'll get to them shortly (I hope?)

I'd also have to agree that I hope Mojang adjusts the biomes a little to allow for some snowless mountains, for variety. This might semi-ruin a very large mountain city we're building ATM. :/
