There is an MCEdit filter that lets you modify villager trades and accomplish what you want. I can't find it, you'll have to do some searching.

You can take off your cape and craft it with another one to make a leather shirt for armor uses. That is what the second cape is for.

Or fancy hats. Maybe capes got too boring.

Definitely Blaze Rods. Smelt 12 things and are easy to harvest. I farm blazes. Grow them and then cut em down. And get tons of XP. Lots of it.

1. Because snapshots are full of bugs and potentially game destroying glitches. They are for testing and receiving feedback only.
2. No, you download a minecraft.jar file and replace the current one with that one you downloaded.
3. Your worlds might (but very unlikely) become corrupt from the various bugs. You can however, play on your world and have all the features. A new world is not required.
4. No drawbacks except potential glitches, like I explained above. I don't know what you mean by the second part.

You are just adding to the Herobrine spam that is everywhere on the forums.

This should go in the "Suggestions" subforum anyway

After watching that, I feel that this is absolutely relevant:

There's a feature that comes with McPatcher that allows for very easy mod installation.

1. Force Update to Minecraft by hitting options and 'Force Update' on the launcher, then login.
2. Start McPatcher (If it says it is already modded make sure you did step one correctly. Also make sure you have a current version.)
3. Click the little "+" symbol near the bottom of the window
4. Click on the ZIP folder where the mod is. Do not extract this zip folder, MCP does this for you.
5. Click Open/ok
6. Click OK
7. The mod should be added. Click the "Patch" button (the big one at the bottom) nd the mod will be added for you.
8. If the mod has any extra things that need to be added specially, you need to do them manually. Most mods have diretion on how to do this.
9. MCP will remove META-INF for you.
10. If mods are incompatible with each other, try it anyway. Sometimes mods work together even with conflicting .class files.
11. If your game crashes, just uncheck one of the mods that were incompatible and click "Patch" again.

I think that will help you.

Your seed got on this website. http://www.minecraftseeds.info/ I think it's the only good seed website.

I think...and end up missing everything that I was supposed to hear.

As of now, Creative mode is a versatile map-making tool. It provides players with infinite blocks, the ability to fly, and the ability to customize limited aspects of items. However, when it comes to making custom maps, which may require very specific controls, Creative mode is lacking. Some extra controls are possible, but only using mods like TooManyItems and 3rd party tools like MCEdit. Others, such as controlling item behaviors and functions (for example, making a pickaxe edible) are simply impossible. I suggest that such controls be implemented directly into the Creative mode inventory screen in the following way.

1. General Layout

Given that the creative inventory is organized by tabs, it is only logical that the add-on should also be organized by tabs. Each aspect of the overhaul would get its own tab, and each tab would contain controls for that aspect. At the moment, I have come up with five tabs: World Settings, Player Settings, Custom Blocks, Custom items, and Custom Entities.

World Settings:


World Settings will contain what are now gamerules. Instead of using the /gamerule command to change them, it will now be possible to go into the creative inventory and check off the settings you want enabled. This tab may also contain settings currently unavailable, such as access to the seed, biome layout, and other terrain features. This tab will have a way to set the world spawn point (the one not changed by sleeping in a bed). Such features could be useful if someone wants a certain landform in their world, or if they do not like the biomes around spawn. It could also be useful to CTM map makers and adventure map makers, allowing for the world spawn to be moved more easily, without having to go into MCEdit to change it. Server admins may use this interface to control where new players spawn, allowing for easier spawn jails, or a more convenient spawn point.

Player Settings:


The Player Settings tab would be used for adjusting the status of individual players. With this tab, one can have complete control of every player's gamemode, health, inventory contents, hunger, and current potion effects. This tab will basically be an in-game editable version of the player.dat file in every world file. These settings would directly edit the player.dat files, so even players not present in the game world can be modified. If needed, this tab could be disabled on servers, to prevent griefing by players in creative mode (see section 2 for more detail). This tab could be useful to server operators and administrators, allowing them to remove certain items from the inventories of griefers, or to give positive potion effects to good players as a reward. Additionally, these settings could be accessed by a command, allowing for mechanisms using command blocks to give players potion effects without using up finite splash potion bottles. Therefore, the Player Settings tab would be useful to mapmakers and administrators alike.

Custom Blocks:


The Custom Blocks tab will be useful for creating custom placeable items, such as enchanted dirt blocks, or a stone block that can mine stone successfully. Such blocks are often used by mapmakers, who enchant ordinary items to use as weapons or tools. However, they cannot mine blocks that cannot be mined by hand, so a vanilla Efficiency V enchanted dirt block cannot collect stone. With these controls, any item can act as any tool, as well as acquire enchantments or be edible. The ability to make such items edible also creates the ability to make new foods, or to make normal foods that heal more or less than they normally do. Potion effects would also be available, allowing for custom items to give the user potion buffs. Additionally, custom blocks would retain their custom data when placed, allowing for maps made of custom materials. The drops of these blocks could be modified as well, allowing, for example, diamond blocks that drop coal. This tab would be particularly useful to mapmakers.

Custom Items:


The Custom Items tab serves much of the same purpose as the custom blocks tab, except it will work with items only. It has many of the same functions, such as converting any item into a tool, but it also can control, for example, whether an item renders in 2D or 3D when dropped or in an item frame. The right-click action of items will be able to be changed using this menu, allowing any item to serve any right-click function. Apples could act as enderpearls, or axes could block attacks like swords. Once again, this feature would be particularly useful to mapmakers, who could use it to customize items to their liking.

Custom Entities:


The Custom Entities tab will be used as MCEdit filters are used on mob spawners at the moment. To use it, a player needs to type in the entity ID number of the target entity, and then set the parameters. The parameters change for each entity, depending on the NBT tags available for customization. Therefore, only creepers can be charged, and only slimes and magma cubes can have their sizes set. Some parameters for entities are universal, such as the amount of health and natural (not worn) armor they have. This could be used to make, for example, paintings that cannot be broken, as their health is set to 10,000. Additionally, these settings could control potion effects in a similar manner to controlling the potion effects of players in the Player Settings tab. To spawn the target entity, either a mob egg or a spawner will appear in the output box. If the output is a spawner, then the spawner will retain its settings and not become a pig spawner when placed, but spawn the target entity with the custom parameters. If the output is a mob egg, the mob egg will spawn the target entity normally, again with the custom parameters. This tab would be especially useful to mapmakers, as it will allow them to create custom entities on the fly, without having to go into MCEdit to modify preexisting mobs.

Time Settings:


Time settings (mock-up currently a work-in-progress) will allow the player to control time easily, through the Creative GUI, rather than through the time commands. The time settings will be located on the left-hand side of the menu. There will be two time controls. The blue sun button on the top left toggles freezing the time of day in place, allowing for maps to have infinite day or night. This will benefit people who enjoy building in Creative mode for long periods of time, as they will not have to worry about constantly setting the time to day or building a machine to do it for them. The time can be frozen at any time of day, including during the night, so if anyone prefers to build at night, this works for them as well. The time freeze button does not stop mobs or redstone circuits from moving or activating; it only stops the sun and moon. The slider directly below the time freeze button controls the time of day. By moving the slider, the time of day will change, and the icon above it will indicate the time of day. In this image, the slider is currently in the "sunrise" position. With these controls, it will be much more comprehensive to change the time of day, as no commands need to be memorized. Additionally, the time of day can be frozen, averting the need to constantly correct the time. These time controls, if added, will be very handy to mapmakers.


2. Pros and Cons

This GUI design has many advantages over traditional methods of editing worlds, but it also has some definite flaws. While it is easily accessible, it may make it easy for griefers to utilize it for the destruction of a server. Still, though, the pros outweigh the cons with this design.

Pro: Ease of Use

Since all of the features that would be included in this overhaul would be added directly to the Creative inventory, it would be very simple to use them. All a player needs to do to use it is to click on one of the tabs and start adding their data. The setup is also very organized, as each section contains only content relating to its function, with each tab serving its own function. Without having ever seen it before, a player could probably figure out how to use the interface, due to the logical organization and good labeling. A simple layout is one of the best features of this GUI design.

Con: Potential Griefing

With features like the customization of mobs and the ability to tweak player data files, griefers will surely use this to the worst possible effect. They could create items that one-hit-kill any mob and break every block instantly, or spawn charged invisible creepers, each with a blast radius of 10,000 meters. Additionally, the ability to alter player data means that a troll could continually remove valuables from other players' inventories, or inflict negative potion effects upon them (like blindness or slowness). To deal with griefing problems, this added creative inventory can only be accessible to operators and admins on servers, and only to players with cheats enabled on singleplayer. This way, only if an admin grants a player these features can they use them.

Con: Requirement of the Creation of New NBT Tags

In order for many of the features to work, new NBT tags would need to be created. Without them, using any item as a tool or as food simply will not work, as the NBT tags do not exist. I have little coding experience, and none with Java, so I do not know how hard it would be to code. However, given that Mojang regularly adds new NBT tags, they are probably not too difficult, but any extra code would be good to be avoided. The proof-of-concept images above are only rough guides, so the interface does not need these features immediately, allowing the GUI to be implemented with fewer features, and then acquire them over time. The preliminary version could only have pre-existing features, and then gain new ones later. By adding features over time, this con can be avoided.

3. Why is this Useful?

With a new set of tools for Creative mode users, players may build more fascinating, intricate, or simply mind-blowing creations. It may make parts of MCEdit and NBTEdit obsolete, but it also makes some of these controls more easily accessible to players who do not use MCEdit and NBTEdit. Parts of this idea are already covered by mods like In-Game NBTEdit by Davidee and Pyro1997 or TooManyItems by Marglyph. However, for those who prefer to stick with vanilla Minecraft, but want to create custom maps, this add-on for Creative mode would be very helpful. Players who previously had no ability to control many of these parameters for custom worlds now will have the ability to do so, possibly allowing for more creativity with these maps. This addition also would not interfere with the ways of those who prefer mods and MCEdit because it provides alternate ways to do things, but not mandatory ones. By adding more features to the Creative interface, much more is possible with less hassle. With this GUI, previously hard-to-reach or little-known functions will be available to everyone.

What do you think of this? Was my idea good, or pointless? Constructive criticism welcome!

If you were to catch a glimpse of this world you would figure that someone got out of control with TNT and made a giant scar of the whole world. The results look very similar. It’s something even scarier though. Something worse. What you’re looking at is the result of human interaction with limited resources. In a very coordinated experiment 30 players spent 2-5 hours playing in a 350x350 world trapped in bedrock. To keep everything fair the server was only running when everyone was available to play. These screenshots come from 2 months after the experiment started. I would personally like to thank everyone that participated (who wished to stay anonymous). To make things more organized world chat use was discouraged unless you had a global message. Communication was to be minimal and done through third party programs. The limited/restricted communication made groups/clans/guilds possible.


The players were unaware of what I was testing; they went into the server with the following rule: “Never leave the bedrock walls”. Some players realized the challenge at hand immediately, but most were unaware of how devastating the consequences of their actions would be. First resource to go was clay, clay became completely depleted in three days. Brick houses did not last long and in most cases were impossible to complete. The loss of a resource such as clay was a small warning most players missed. In the first week trees became rare. Trees never left the map completely but wood being an essential part of game progression in Minecraft made saplings worth more. This is the point in the game where players banded together into smaller groups with the goal of working together to build stuff. Four large clans emerged. “The Brotherhood”, “The Axe”, “The Dwarves” and the most successful “Merchant’s Guild”. During this time they co-existed peacefully with minor fights over trees and saplings, most did well with their own tree farms. Strip mining began. Resources like iron were abundant and most got wasted into weapons and armor. During this time iron was running out and the only practical use of it was buckets/pickaxes for diamond and doors were plausible due to the need for protection. It should be obvious that Diamonds only use was obsidian which would be a great for protection. Diamonds being extremely rare made them already valuable, but the players being aware that the supply was limited made it a rush to find them as fast as possible. Within 2 weeks production was flying. There was a local Nether Portal which was useful because it supplied an endless resource to build with that had no repercussions upon the map. The portal didn’t make it a week, soon the obsidian was stolen by The Brotherhood and used in there castle. The Merchant’s Guild made a quick profit off of this by having the only optional Nether Portal while resources like diamonds became rarer. The Merchants Guild was efficient and used trade to strive in this harsh world. They would trade netherack/cobblestone/rare ores for usable materials such as saplings/wood/dirt/string/wool/sand/etc.


3 weeks into the expirment flowers were gone forever, sand was deplete making glass rare and hard to replace, and obsidian was un-minable for most players due to a lack of diamond. The players resorted to war to find diamonds. The four clans raided each other bases and griefed each other. This war went on for a few days and The Axe had lost their castle completely. The Brotherhood had to rebuild a very broken town. The Dwarves took minimal damage due to their underground sub-systems and the difficult nature to destroy caves. The Merchant’s Guild took no damage because they won over their fights with complex trade agreements and treaties. At this point The Axe had disbanded. Their members took to their own trying to make it on their own. This left a lot of griefing for trees and trade with the Merchant’s Guild abundant. Only two people were clearly ahead at this point, (aside from the merchant’s guild doing well too). They earned the name (pardon the language), the ****-ass griefers. These two players had immediately realized what would happen to the map on day one and began to construct an easily defendable a base that was self-sufficient and renewable. They built there base on a giant dirt platform in the sky. They made it come off of a mountain so the grass would grow onto it. When the grass had grown onto their base (A few days in), they had already acquired the needed materials for sticky pistons and buckets. They created a water elevator that could be toggled with the pistons and began destroying the mountain. They dug all the earth out from around them and made their base impossible to reach without the use of the water elevator or towering up. From the first week in they began systematically depleting resources in a way that would set the other players behind. Glass windows were broken, trees and saplings were stolen, massive amounts of dirt were farmed (the importance of this will be revealed later) and they used their power to persuade the other players. The Merchant’s Guild paid an anti-griefing tax by supplying the ****-ass griefers with materials that were rare or hard to find. It started with trees/iron/diamond and by the end of the experiment it was things like arrows/flint/string. Four weeks in strip mines had torn open a lot of the land, water was running all over the place (most people lacked buckets) and the most game-breaking element occurred; dirt was being lost. Well not dirt itself in entirety, but the good surface dirt. The dirt with GRASS on it. At this point players forgot about trees and mining but wars over surfaces with grass broke out. The Dwarves even showed interest and tried to create establishments on the surface but had trouble handling holding ground. The Merchant’s Guild had not thought ahead but began gathering as many drops from animals spawned on grass to be traded as rarities in the future. The brotherhood held a small section of grass off from griefers the most successfully. The ****-ass griefers had no trouble with this because there base was situated upon a giant floating chuck of grass, so they made it their mission to destroy all grass on the map and reserve the power of food to themselves only. The Brotherhood held their small piece of grass but were defending constantly and as a result their base became very broken and they rebuilt in a way to defend the dirt only.


Five weeks into the experiment a lot of players had lost the will to play. Most players resorted to staying underground and endless 2x1 tunnels were formed, giant chasms were found by players overmining and ultimately a large majority of cobblestone was lost through lava and the players fighting each other. Due to massive mining to and strip mines the corner of the map supporting the ****-ass griefers base sunk farther and farther down to the bedrock, leaving a noticeable drop in elevation between the two corners of the map. Buildings made out of dirt started showing up on the torn earth because most players lacked the resources to make pickaxes and couldn’t meet the prices of the Merchant’s Guild. These buildings were built with the only purpose of protection from monsters at night since the map became un-survivable during the night. At this point the large loss of land in the bottom half the map did one purpose. Eliminate the dwarves who were housed there. (I still can’t believe the amount of stone removed and lost in that area, It’s a devastating amount and continued until the 2 months were up). At this point a cycle was emerged, the players were fighting for the last bit of grass on the map (disregarding the griefers base that was inaccessible). But most of them were either trying to mine cobblestone for more trade with the Merchant’s Guild for sticks for more pickaxes or trying to survive the night in dirt houses. It was a vicious cycle that was barely profitable. But a pattern did emerge. The players were effectively working together to survive the night. While there was still rampant war and grief the players that had little had banded together to try to survive the harsh environment.


The experiment was up before more testing could be done, but I ask you. If the walls were torn down one day and the players were free to the unlimited resources of Minecraft how would they react? Do you think they would work together and try to keep all the resources balanced or would they play the same way without regard for their environment or each other? Though in Minecrafts infinite world it would be impossible to destroy everything, do you think the disaster would slowly re-occur? I think this experiment has been a successful statement on the human condition and human interaction with the environment.

A bad rep? What?! I've got like 15 rep points, which is pretty good because I barely ever post and when I do it's borderline trolling!

So we have to talk about playing god without talking about god... hmmmm.

In that case, yes it is okay to play. Children play. Adults play. I played with myself four times today. What's the point in this thread?

Hey guys, first post here so i thought i would make it a build video. We only got into Minecraft about 2 months ago and this is our first big build. Took 3 of us about 30 hours and it came out pretty good i think. Anyway let us know what you think!

Thanks!
