span>The five things you mentioned are all subjective. To me, the rabbits look fine. If you look at the other animals, there is some gradient in the texture, rabbits seem to be colored like someone just made streaks with the pencil tool and said 'good enough'. Even if most textures in the game are simplistic, they still have 'texturing', the slight variance of shade. that is subjective. you say they look bad, i say they look fine. Experience did not become item oriented, it merely added a cost, with a preview of what you'd get to balance it.I do think it's kind of neat that lapis is involved in enchanting, however, this creates a problem for servers. Enchants become a limited resource and this causes more reliance on already-busy moderators to deal with it. The funny thing about my view point is that, even with that limited resource, I feel enchanting is way too easy, experience is pretty much a pointless thing now (punch one animal in the face and you can get a level 30 enchant). The first system, yeah, getting 40 some levels was ridiculous, but I felt the second system was a balanced approach to that. Then Mojang finally got annoyed by 'lapis is useless just like many other things' and decided to use it in there. leveling is hard, even in the old system. Lapis makes it cost more, as well as levelling takes longer. its always been hard to level in minecraft. how have you found it easy? And the thing about enchanted books... what? Please work on your grammar. And the new food items are only trying to make minecraft more realistic. i remember when everyone was complaining that sheep didnt drop mutton when they should. now that they do, people say that minecraft is now too easy. So which is it? Do you want mutton or not? You're confusing me. Adding anything is about if it has a reason to be there. Every food had it's own niche, whether it was being hardy, being in a special potion recipe, or being easier to access and therefore lower quality. it was added so that people wouldnt complain anymore about it. And how have villages become more complicated? villagers now collect and replant crops, and cobble spawns under gravel are the only village updates i can find. How does that make anything any worse? I kept tabs for a long while trying to figure out how villages worked when they first started out with the whole 'in front or behind door', 'has to be. the heck does that mean?

About the bugs, mojang put near the bottom of the update list, in some way or another, "Many many bug fixes". They may not have spent weeks devoted entirely to fixing bugs, but at least they did fix some. Be grateful for once that your minecraft is a little less buggy. Once again, major releases should be fixed until they have very minimal bugs and this is a practice they used to do, they stopped doing it and it makes it a little difficult to enjoy the game at times. People have to update servers and other things all the time because they come out with a new release for every bug fix when the version was supposed to be stable in the first place. They let eagerness get in the way of a stable update by releasing them pre-maturely. We aren't talking about snapshots or pre-releases, were talking about 'stable' releases. they have a system where users submit bug reports. its our fault they didn't fix as many bugs as we wanted because not enough of us went on to look for bugs.

Lastly, concerning the "Big additions", that term is completely subjective. without a standard definition you and i could debate its meaning for weeks upon weeks. I would say changing something isn't really an addition, and there was mostly things being changed in this release. Other than that, it is true that it can be subjective. no response, none to give.and about the time it took to make this... Do you know what happened at mojang while they were developing 1.8? Do you know what it took to code what they were implementing? do you what notch and jeb had going on in their personal lives? Do you know what they did to fix the bugs? I would think not. Therefore, you have no right to put a time limit on updates. Think before you complain. One should not add things to the game for the sake of saying 'yay, you get more features now'. If they actually ran out of good ideas it would be fine for them to stop adding to the game. The fact that they keep adding things after they ran out of original ideas and just copy and paste whatever the community comes up with is getting a little nutty. Things like the Wither are incredible and very original, things like making sheep drop mutton are simply the devs catering to the idiots of the crowd. oh, and i suppose, banners, sea temples, guardians, red sand, coarse dirt, and many other things are unoriginal too? at least half of the new implementations in 1.8 are new.

Quote from KyoShinda»

Are you serious? The rest of those aren't really features. Every single one of the five things I mentioned ruin a large portion of the game for me. Being able to put buttons on ceilings isn't going to be making me beg to continue playing the game.

You seem to be looking at this from a very narrow numerical point of view. I mean sure, you yourself can say the update is grand if you don't have a problem with the things I mentioned, but they make me want to stay in 1.7.

When it comes to bugs, it's about what they effect and how many are left, it's not about how many they fixed. Hell, they used to spend a week or two before releasing each major update to fix most or all of the major/annoying bugs. We're getting used to accepting mediocre additions to the game. In my opinion, instead of even doing 1.8 they should have solely focused on the API because the amount of junk they added far outweighs anything to be legitimately gleeful about.

Once you think about it, the only 'major additions' to 1.8 were the rabbits and the underwater temples. Just look at 1.2, they added jungles, ocelots, redstone lamp, iron golems, enchants for bows.. and when you look at any other major update they'll have a list about that long. Considering how long this update took, they should have added about 20 major things. Minecraft is burnt out.

Quote from Cheeyev»

I'm not even remotely close to saying that. Stop twisting what we say, we understand what opinions are and don't need a reminder on it. The update was already stupid enough (E.G. the godawful endermites and 1'st grader's bunnies, the Armor Stand that really needs a facelift, the inconsistent types of stone and ores (The fact ores still only appear within stone is really bad since the Granite and other rocks replace the ores), etc,) for us, and I'm not going to even update for this unless it's for Mods. I think I'm going to quit playing Minecraft soon, but I'll still lurk around here.

Quote from Cheeyev »

I'm not the butthurt one, you're all are, and me and the other hates just have a thing called 'common sense'.

Quote from grnmachine»Oh my god... i dont even...

Listen. Sit down and shut up for a few moments please.

You think you're so right, dont you? and because you're right, everyone who disagrees with you is wrong. Well let me tell you something.

I am not wrong. You are not wrong. NOBODY is wrong in this matter. You know why? This is a matter of opinion. NOBODY can be wrong when opinions are the subject matter. And my opinion is that this update is good. And the common sens part? Let me show you how all the non-haters can have common sense, and make good and valid arguments too.

Quote from pefan»

i can clearly see you haven't read many of my past comments, i for one have been saying what you said (not the quoted stuff) but that every one who dislikes this update is entitled to there opinion. but on the other hand i am just as bad as you for the fact that i did not read your post which you did make a valid argument but others that i will not name have not.

this thread has no reason to be locked and if it is then i guess saying your opinion on the internet is wrong

i support you cheeyev, these other minecraft elites fan boy take nothing you say into consideration and lack to make good valid argument

Quote from grnmachine»

Let me summarize everything that people are complaining about and respond.

1. "Armor stands are from bibliocraft! Mojang stole it!"

Bibliocraft did not invent the armor stand, nor did they copyright it. I agree it was a disrespectful move, but mojang did nothing wrong. And at least we have armor stands without having to add a mod.

2. "This update is causing lag!"

No. This update reduces lag. Increased lag is a result of something happening on your side. Minecraft does not have increased lag in 1.8.

3. "The commands are useless!"

Bro r u srs. That statement requires ignorance on an unfathomable level to comprehend. Mapmakers and builders will both benefit from these.

4. "But it took too long!"

Do you work at Mojang? Do you know what notch and jeb have happening at their personal lives? Do you know every single thing that happened at Mojang during the development of 1.8? I would think not. So you have no right to put a time limit on this.

5. "Yeah but everyone who likes 1.8 is stupid."

Once again, a statement like that takes ignorance on an unfathomable level to comprehend. I like 1.8. I scored above average on all of my SoL's last year. Saying that just because someone has one trait does not necessarily mean that another trait comes along with it unconditionally. In fact, saying that everyone who likes 1.8 is dumb is saying that every horse is white just because its a horse.

6. "I still dont like it though."

And theres nothing i can change about that. Thats your opinion, so just keep it to yourself. My mom once told me, "If you have nothing nice to say, dont say anything at all." I think we all need to respect that rule.

Quote from OfficialThinkableVideos

Actually, as a game dev, the different aspects of the update should have only taken a couple months at most. 1 year was ridiculous considering most of the features are mods already.

Quote from Knochenbowser

GG Mojang, you just ruined your own game by shutting down a mod that allowed lot's of people to play the game without lags.

11, also we wont make it.

[RFW] Uncivil Engineering v1.5/v1.6
for Minecraft 1.5.2/Minecraft 1.6.2 (SMP)

by FifthWhammy

NEWS: If you're looking for the map, downloads are below. Not too many big changes, except for double food and knockback immunity boots (!!) in v1.6. Changelog.

And if you play Uncivil, love it (or just like it), and have the urge to play more RFW--or just to watch more RFW--visit the RMCT subreddit, home of Minecraft's premier RFW community. (Among other things!)

Also, many thanks to the Yogscast, Bertie and GameChap for If you're here because you enjoyed the show and want to try Uncivil for yourself, you're in the right place! (And the map's updated, so you won't have to deal with those stupid respawning glitches.)

The RMCT Finals were held on this map a few months ago between RFW teams 3 Pros 1 Cup and Professional Minecraft Engineers, and the match was one of the best I've seen since I first released Uncivil Engineering almost one year ago. Videos are available on the RMCT#3 bracket here (under "Attachments", found by clicking to the left of the finals match).

Additionally, Uncivil Engineering is also part of the Champions of the Map title match series!

Do post here if you happen to encounter any problems!

--------
Overview
--------

This is my first RFW (Race for Wool) map. Designed for two teams of four players using Minecraft 1.3.2, Uncivil Engineering features two mirrored 8-block-wide parallel lanes full of challenging terrain and varied dangers. Amid the mobs and obstacles lie three dungeons, each of which will provide players with one color of wool. Bring all three wool blocks back to your Winner's Wall and complete it to claim victory. Unlike in some other RFW maps, resources are scarce here; in particular, there are only 10 diamond blocks available in each lane, and grabbing them will take considerable effort. To be successful on this map, your team will need to do some strategizing.

The three wool dungeons are as follows:

The 10,000 Block Pyramid: Navigate six darkened mob-friendly rooms cluttered with considerable riches. But the myriad gold ore may be more of a hindrance than a resource. The real prize? The Yellow Wool.

Curtain Call: Six lava walls lie directly between you and your goal. If you can get through the deadly liquid--and a handful of other annoyances--the Orange Wool is waiting for you.

Gridlock: Full of pitch-dark pitfalls, the final wool dungeon is actually non-linear. Find the three Obsidian Beacons and light each of them with redstone torches; only then can you claim the Red Wool!

Throughout the map, you'll find resources and items to assist you in both retrieving the wool and keeping your opponents from doing so. You'll also be presented with two unique opportunities to receive particularly valuable items:

Mutually Assured Generosity: Found between the Pyramid and Curtain Call, the smiling Mutually Assured Generosity Station contains storage carts with valuable items, including the map's only Blaze Rods. With just the press of a button, you'll be given one of those helpful carts. The catch: your opponents will get a cart too, and theirs will be slightly better! The MAG Station will dispense only one cart for each team for the entire match, so think carefully about pressing that button.

Bonus Vault: Floating at the very end of the lane, the Bonus Vault's storage carts hold the best loot on the map, including enchanted diamond armor and three Ender Pearls. Claiming it won't be easy--you'll need to build a bridge over nothingness to the Vault's exterior, where you'll need 24 redstone torches (and most likely a diamond pickaxe) to open the vault and claim your prize. However, only the first team to open the Vault will be rewarded--the second team won't get a thing.

Some screenshots for your viewing pleasure:

A little overview diagram of the map, found at the spawn platform.

The opening stretch.

Just afterward, a steep drop. It's over 40 blocks--make your way down carefully! Also (partially) visible are the start of the 10,000 Block Pyramid and some caves with valuable ore.

Past the Pyramid, the Mutually Assured Generosity Station. Beyond it are Curtain Call and the bottom of a cavern area containing redstone ore, among other things...

A closer look at Curtain Call and its dangerous lava barriers.

After the cavern area, some trees and a small building which might've been powered by that bedrock pipe somehow. That pipe's broken now, but there just might be something waiting for you inside the fallen pipe piece...

Following the brick building and Gridlock, the final dungeon, the map comes to an end at the floating Bonus Vault. Will you try for its riches?

Ok, so I had an idea, and I searched for Slime, got about 3 related results in the whole listing, the rest were just random. Also: The full editor is stupid, it deletes all the empty lines, like you'd never pressed enter, to I have to put those back every time.

• So here's my (first) idea: Slime slabs and panes

When the player right clicks a block with a slimeball, it places a slimy green semi-translucent block, about the size of snow (not snow blocks, but the thin snow), it slows the player down and can be broken to give a slime ball. It is most easily harvested by hand, and occurs naturally in slime spawning areas. Also it can be placed on a wall where it will become a Slime Pane.

• My next idea: Slime caves

My next idea is a new generated structure, called a Slime Cave, the slime cave looks a series of caves that stay rather flat (not going very much higher or lower at any spot than any other spot). These caves are often covered in slime slabs and slime panes, with slimes spawning here excessively, and other mobs having a much lower chance to spawn.In addition, there would be a room with slime spawners and a giant slime for a "boss" of sorts, he wouldn't drop anything special though, he's just a very large slime who would split into 4 large slimes.New: May contain some of those new slime blocks that they're adding in 1.8, not really sure how that would work so post ideas.

• My Third idea: More Slime colors

(Currently the most liked idea in the poll.)More slime colors: So, you're probably thinking "well what if I don't want it to be green" (well, you're probably not thinking that, but still) so, I have a solution for you: Slimeballs could be dyed (crafted with dyes) to make another color slimeball, and therefore another color slime slab.But it doesn't stop there, Slimes will actually have a 5% each chance of spawning (40% chance total) in the following colors:

• darker Green
• red
• orange
• yellow
• blue
• pink
• black
• white

This really has no effect other than aesthetics, and one can die them into ordinary Slimeballs using lime dye.New: The player can also dye slimes directly, you want all your slimes you spawned green? just right click the slimes themselves with lime dye.This would also allow map makers with custom resource packs to re texture a certain color of slime, for example: A map maker making a partially undersea level could texture yellow slimes to look like sponges, then spawn in several slimes, and color some yellow to make the look like sponges while dying others blue to blend in with the water and a third group green for enemies on land.Example two: A map maker could texture red slimes to look like dirt, yellow ones to look like stone and white ones to look like diamond ore, then spawn slimes in various locations and dye them into a camouflaged color to ambush the player on their map. The Slime blocks would also be dyable. Also, name a Slime jeb_ for a rainbow slime.

• Magma cubes

Per request of Roundninja, I'm putting this section here.Magma cubes, like slimes have their own equivalent of the ideas I've proposed for slimes. Magma Cube Panes and Slabs currently have no differences from their Slime equivalents other than appearance.Magma cubes would have Magma Cube Caverns, covered in Magma Cream Slabs. Magma Cube Caverns are larger and more spacious than Slime caves, but lava often generates inside of them.Magma cubes can also be died, but they can only be died certain colors:

• Red (They look brighter red)
• Orange (They look similar to lava)
• White (Look brighter than they were before)
• Black (Look like their original form)

I know this is short, but I already explained how these things' Slime counterparts function and work, and the Magma Cube versions are the same unless specified otherwise..Other

• rarekwiebus suggested bouncing off Slime blocks' sides

Notes

• White Slimes look a slightly pale blue tinted clear color, and are much more translucent than other colors.
