Minecraft Forums

Great thanks, I'll check it out.

Becasue the twitch app won't update, which means it wont launch, which means I can not get to the mods button. Is there a command line thing I can do?

(and yes I've trashed the twitch app then tried to re download it, but then it launches and says it needs to update, and the update doesn't work).

Can I copy the profile to the REAL minecraft and just launch it from there? Instructions are needed if this is possible.

actually they are instant on all game modes on my computer. I have a PC and a Mac, both on 1.10, and the behaviour is the same for me on my own lan worlds as well as internet servers - instant portal travel. It's sometimes pretty frustrating ...

Since about 1.8-ish, the instant I touch the purple stuff in a portall I get transported to the nether or back again. In the past I was able to walk through portals to the other side of them and to teleport I'd have to stand in the portal for a couple of seconds.

Is there a way to make it so that I have wait a bit to teleport again like how it used to be? This is particularly annoying on servers where portals are often in tunnels and you have to walk through the portal to get to the next bit of the tunnel ..

we have been having fun building shelters and doing fun things like fishing, riding pigs, turning mooshrooms into cows. he builds rollercoasters in creative, goes fishing, makes waterfalls, pours lava on villages, has fun in minecraft basically. he makes basic shelters with doors and a bed in survival and sleeps through the night, and can hit away the zombies with sticks and swords and run away from creepers or kite them into the water to make them safely explode... well, that was in 1.8 anyway. minecraft 1.8 was fun, and catered for almost everyone.

In 1.9 he starts building his first house and is sniped by a skeleton. he starts whacking a creeper and is blown up because timing/waiting is not something little kids know how to do. he goes looking for sheep but there are significantly less sheep/cows/pigs and significantly more chickens in the worlds we have generated so far ... everything is different and harder, and this takes out a section of the audience who can enjoy it. the "difficulty" seems to reduce the number of hostile mobs that spawn, but the system still doesn't reduce in difficulty. mobs still turn up in OP armour while you're still punching trees. Playing on peaceful means no mobs spawn at all. I don't get the difficulty option at all, it might as well say "none", "hard", "still hard" and "permadeath".

so now I have to learn how to make potions, and have shields, and use anvils, and combine enchanted books, or build an absurd afk fish farm to harvest OP items ... basically the bits of minecraft that are really hard for a beginning (and aren't beginner options anyway). Mine for 6 hours so you have enough iron to make an anvil, diamonds to make an enchanting table, and raid enough mineshafts or dungeons just so you can make an enchanted armour set or sword powerful enough so that you can survive your first few nights? see the problem? You probably don't because many people have been playing for so many years that these seem trivial: they aren't.

1.9, the less fun update...

my boy (who is pretty young) loves Minecraft. so far he's been pretty good at it. he's learning how to use the mouse, how how to spam-click on monsters to kill them. how to differentiate between left and right clicking for digging or placing blocks. it's pretty complicated when you think about it. then 1.9 came out and suddenly he's shouting and carrying on because he's suddenly dying over and over and over and over and there's nothing he can do about it. mobs are harder. there's more of them. start a new world, walk for two minutes, get killed by a skeleton hiding under a tree, and you're still chopping wood to make your first crafting bench. is this fun? having only just come to grips with clicking the correct mouse button in order to perform the desired action he's suddenly incapable of killing anything. Granted, in a couple of months he'll learn to press and hold the mouse, or learn to pause between actions (he doesn't do that outside Minecraft yet, so it may be a while) such as hitting the baddies. creepers are now the absolute worst, there is no possible way for him to ever kill a creeper. the concept of having two hands is well beyond him - controlling both the action hand and the off-hand - so having to build and then equip a shield every time he goes outside just to stay alive long enough to chop down a tree has already shown itself to be way too difficult. So far, I've rolled back to 1.7 and it looks like it'll be at least a year before he is able to attempt 1.9, if ever. I do hope the next version concentrates on something fun rather than combat.

settings for nether and end generation on the custom world options and superflat world customisation types would be great. for instance, one could choose to create a superflat nether with various levels of nether ores and fortresses. Or a superflat end with endless castles and purple trees... Being able to set the x,y, and z scales for the terrain generation would be my primary use.
