Minecraft

[DEElekgolo]

I've been playing this for ages, it is about time for a thread.

Anyone else play this (http://minecraft.net/)?

My current skin (http://minecraft.net/skin/skin.jsp?user=DEElekgolo), not sure why it has those random holes in it though.

[Syuusuke]

You need to purchase the game to play infdev?

Oh Classic.

[DEElekgolo]

n more concrete news, I noticed that BIGJam starts next week. I will release the SMP server before I leave for that. It might be buggy, but I promise to fix it when I get back. It will be missing mobs. Mobs will come later on, and when they’re in, the game will officially be in beta, and the price will go up to 14.95 euro.
You guys best be getting this game quickly before the beta.

[Darqeness]

I bought it a couple of days ago an am absolutely loving it. Currently building a massive minecart track linking my home and the various mines I've started around the world.

[DEElekgolo]

Post yo cartographer yo.
I made my own isometric viewer but it is still in the works.

Been putting off making a thread for ages, glad somebody bit the bullet :p
Post your skin, I'm guessing you've got bits in the wrong place or it just didn't upload properly.

I've been working on a fortress for the last month of so, also got a lava tower on the other end of the map (which is almost 100mb now).
Starting new maps is for casuals :realsmug:

[DEElekgolo]

Awesome random seed I got. (http://yfrog.com/ep83890949z)

And here is the skin.

[n00b1n8R]

Horrible attempt at a lego man, please disregard it for now :p
Cool map but I prefer my LOLHEUG oceans, especially since the boats came out.

ALSO: Worked out what was wrong with your skin:
Minecraft doesn't support partial transparencies - anything less than alpha:255 results in minecraft rendering it transparent (with the exception of slimes). You had some hidden transparencies in your skin (and so did the one I downloaded from 4chan a while back).

Here's the fixed version:
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/betterheavymaybe.png
(I think whoever made the skin didn't realise that what was meant to be his under-chin beard was at the back of his head so I fixed that too ;))

[DEElekgolo]

I made the skin....

But yea, thanks.

[n00b1n8R]

Wait, have you been posting it on /v/?
Small internet.

[DEElekgolo]

I never posted it on /v/.
I made that skin using 3ds max 2011's viewport canvas feature.

Oh and the heavy's shirt is on backwards.

[n00b1n8R]

Welp, I've downloaded an identical skin off /v/.

[DEElekgolo]

Welp, I've downloaded an identical skin off /v/.
:raise:

[n00b1n8R]

It literally had the exact same transparency bugs as yours too.

[DEElekgolo]

I uploaded the skin here (http://skins.tkte.ch/) the second I finished it, I had to fix it because the face was on backwards which is why you see two.

Who ever posted it on /v/ must have thought it was p cool.

[DEElekgolo]

SMP is being released tommorow, I'll get a server up as soon as it is out.

Just about 5 more hours until SMP is released!
I'll post the IP to my server as soon as its available.

SMP is out, AWOL's getting a server in an hour or two.

Anyway, ton of pics of my base, non in shot-tags.

Been working on this for quite a while, was hilly as fuck and covered in trees when I started. I'm only now really running out of wood :)
Also, ignore the floating cobblestone hobo-shack, that was from my first night in the area :p

Maybe later I'll take some pics of the lava-tower I built in the middle of the sea at the other end of the map before notch added caves to infdev lol.

Do you guys spend countless days building these block by block?

[t3h m00kz]

Looks like Sauerbraten with less pixels.

[n00b1n8R]

Do you guys spend countless days building these block by block?
Yes.

And exploring.
And fighting.
And mining.

Also, playing MP now, Darq is in here along with half of AWOL

[DEElekgolo]

SMP was fun. My dedi couldn't handle it as well as I thought it would.
Modacity SMp server would be p cool.

[Darqeness]

Had some good fun on the AWOL server. Also for multiplayer if you set difficulty to peaceful, your health will regenerate. Helps seeing as there aren't any mobs around to farm food from.

[DEElekgolo]

Type /iron to get 4 bars of iron thrown in front of you.

[DEElekgolo]

[DEElekgolo]

Got e3po to host a 24/7 server for us.

Holy... was that generated ingame? Looks like tree overload of awesomeness.

Anyway, I've been debating whether to pick this game up or not - it looks really good, and i've watched so many videos; the infdev (now alpha -/game) looks so fun as well, but creepers and skeletons would prob make me scream every time i saw them haha.

[n00b1n8R]

Add me on steam and I'll lend you my account for a few minutes so you can get the offline client and start a game and see if you like it. :)

A friend and I set up our own private server. Here's what we've turned out so far in the past day:

I really don't like your texture but I respect your tastes (:

Also, flowing water works now?

[FireDragon04]

This game is awesome...
Playing alpha for the first time (use to be infdev right?)... Also Multiplayer servers working? Anyone know any good ones? IP? Maybe we should get a Modacity Minecraft server going haha!

e: any good texture packs?

[Dwood]

What is this game I don't even.

[DEElekgolo]

New update to server software and such.


Client changelog:
* Added support for more records
* Added online authentication for online servers
Server changelog:
* The server can now be started in either online/secure mode or offline/insecure mode. A secure server requires all connecting players to first authenticate on www.minecraft.net (http://www.minecraft.net/), then checks that the authentication matches, before letting the player in. A server running in offline mode won’t do any such checks, nor will it ask the client to authenticate, but you can’t be sure that people who connect really are who they claim they are. Offline mode is meant for LAN plan where you know the people connecting to the server.
* Added ban/pardon commands to ban and unban a player from the game
* Added ban-ip/pardon-ip commands to ban and unban a specific ip (you have to kick the player manually)
* Added op/deop commands to add/remove a player from the op list
* Added player ops. They can send server commands by typing a slash followed by a server command. Server ops can also build/destroy blocks near the spawn area.
* Made the server save terrain more frequently

[Alwin Roth]

This game is fucking awesome.

I just got it.

and I'm late...

[Donut]

yeah i bought the alpha version a week ago. iv been kind of busy with summer work (because i procrastinate like an asshole), but iv put a few hours into this game and love it. there is a shitload of stuff you can do here. in addition to crafting things like boats and doors, you can find this stuff called redstone and actually set up circuit boards with logic gates by placing the redstone stuff on the ground in a pattern. for example if a monster steps on a pressure plate or something, TNT goes off and kills it. thats really difficult to set up though from what i understand.

nontheless, if youre on the fence about this game, dont let the graphics throw you off. when i saw it at first, i thought "what the hell, this game looks bad". once i actually started to see the attention to details though, i really got into it.
also, it costs 10 euros right now in its alpha stage (which is about $13 US), but when it goes to beta its going to be 20 15 euros. it does have multiplayer too, but its really buggy right now and some stuff hasnt been implemented yet. the guy whos making this says hes going to do a ton more with it in the future though, so for 13 bucks this is a good buy imo.
E: going to be 15 euros at beta, not 20. my bad.

[n00b1n8R]

Shame Notch has been too busy being an INDY CELEBRITY to update the game much the last few weeks -_-
Fuck, I'd start playing again if he just added server-side inventory.

[DEElekgolo]

We need a dedicated 24/7 modacity server.
:C

[DEElekgolo]

I got e3po to setup a 24/7 server for us.
Put wmclan.net as the ip.

Can't connect anyway :( 'Connection lost - Timed out' everytime... oh well.

[DEElekgolo]

Yea... the server crashed due to a chmod glitch that happened to one of the map folders when I was ftping. Gotta wait for e3po to come back...
The map is epic though.

We should really get a 24/7 modacity server though.

[DEElekgolo]

New server update:

+ Added server-side inventory
+ Made the server save player locations when they leave the server
+ Made chests work in SMP
+ Made signs work in SMP
+ Made furnaces work in SMP
+ Added monsters=false to server.properties. You can turn it on for experimental monsters, but you can’t hurt them directly yet. (Fire works, though!)

[n00b1n8R]

SMP: now worth playing!

[DEElekgolo]

Should work just fine, though you might have to flip it unless they fixed that in the latest version.

I was going to do a 1:1 Orthanc, but apparently from bedrock to the top of the sky is only 128 blocks and I need 165.

Notch has been saying for ages that it was coming? :p

[Donut]

would be nice if there was a function to replace existing torches with lanterns though. if not a function, then maybe a little external hack like invedit that lets you load one of your worlds and replace all torches with lanterns. im sure we all agree that torches suddenly going out is going to cause massive problems for some people with big worlds.

This game has no plot, and no characters aside from the AI, who do not speak anyways. You appear in this blocky wilderness one day, and begin to carve out your home/shit you want to build, while defending yourself and your possessions from the different types of zombies that attack at night. It is really fucking addicting.


E: Also I made rapture (or an underwater city loosely based on it) in my single player map. It wasn't so hard. I began to build columbia too, but I ran into the issue of having built the base of the city too high, leaving not enough room for buildings. I ended up converting it to a floating continent which is only accessible through miinecart tracks.

[Dwood]

Lol. They have the machine from Contact.

but according to the newbie guide it says they are only found in the caves...


also I;d like to point out i destroyed the structure and nothing was in or under it, it was just mossy cobblestone

You do find shallow ones from time to time but I've never seen them in that shape.
Maybe your bullshiting or maybe notch actually added Him.

well its only one of the two i've found, but both are in a direction i've rarely gone, i just got the cartographer program to work and those are the only two that showed up
http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Keyes/minecraft/main_map.png

i've found only two in cartographer (not hard to see, one is where it was before i destroyed it and the other is in a small less deep pit (again base was only 1 block into the ground)

there are two structures in the top left I've made, but since i never go in the right direction they're relics left over from when i bothered to journey out towards the edges of the map

EDIT:

im just gonna ignore them for now, if more shit pops up ill check cartographer, but i doubt anything will happen, it seems like some randomly generated blocks to me

i need to find my emerald shrine, that too some woirk and ALOT of blasting

yeah that irks me

in other news no other weird mossy cobblestone pyramids have been found either in game or by cartograph

[Cagerrin]

What's with the retarded height limit? The maps seem to be lolhuge in the x and y directions. Is there some reason for such a short ceiling?
What I remember hearing is that it had something to do with the code that did lighting for each new chunk. Basically the higher the build ceiling the slower that calculation is. Might be left-over from an older version, since recent builds use a different method for calculating per-chunk lighting that would allow higher ceilings, they just haven't been implemented.

[DEElekgolo]

Why just have infdev work on XY? Would be p cool if you can dig downwards forever.

[n00b1n8R]

Imagine how fucking lost you'd get in inf-caves. I'm quite happy with how deep it is but I can't see how doubling the max height without really screwing with the terrain generation (maybe a few rare giga-mountains) would hurt.

[Limited]

What the heck is inf?

[DEElekgolo]

infinite development

It means the map goes on forever because it is generated procedurally.

[n00b1n8R]

What the heck is inf?
Alpha used to be called (before the off-line client) infdev to differentiate it from indev (which was the original survival game mode but on limited maps like creative mode). Go check it out some times, you can choose the sort of terrain you want (hell, woodlands, desert, islands, floating islands, etc).

I mined my way out of a cave and got lost... couldn't find my cave again. Ended up running around for two days on that island trying to find the spot I mined out from... eventually gave up and mined into a wall to hide for the third night. Got bored during the night and started mining around to try to find some redstone to make a compass. Eventually just decided to make a huge tunnel from wherever I was to my home base.

42 stone pick axes later I went up to the surface, on an island near my home.

Those compasses are amazing when you're underground.

My life is shatterd, MINECRAFT IS DOWN...Only jokes (it is down though)...

From Notchs blog...

I was going to send a sneak preview of the Halloween update to a certain website last week for an exclusive preview, but I missed that date pretty bad. I will try to get that update out as soon as possible. The update is going well. There are six new block types (five of them have unique abilities), one new monster, a new dimension, and a couple of bug fixes. Once I get the portals working, I’ll have something very interesting going and I’ll spend the rest of the time leading up to the release adding new smaller features and polishing stuff.

6 new blocks :D I assume he means building blocks (not counting like, random items such as lanterns).

http://kotaku.com/5669766/minecraft-under-siege-by-angry-addicts-demanding-more-updates


Addictive indie computer game Minecraft was knocked off it's little block wheels yesterday apparently by a group of self-identifying disenfranchised Minecraft players demanding more updates from the game's creator. Developer Notch writes that the game's servers are getting hammered by a distributed denial of service, or DDOS, attack.
"A real world example would be running up to the cashier at a super market and paying in small coins, counting every single one really slowly, then finding out at the end you didn't have enough in the first place," Notch wrote on his Tumblr today. "The "Distributed" means it's done from a lot of places at the same time, so it's much harder to simply deny access to the clients that do that. Usually this is done via computers infected with trojans, so people participate in this without even knowing they're doing it.
"As to why minecraft.net is being targeted, I'm not sure."
A post on 4chan claiming responsibility for the attack says that the group launched the DDOS because they want more updates from Notch. They also point out they are not active 4chan members or people from rival games.
Here's the full statement. Do keep in mind we have no way of knowing whether these really are the people behind the ongoing attack.

Minecraft is currently experiencing a stimulation provided by us.
It's purpose is to send Notch a clear message of how the future of minecraft will turn out unless he gets to work, namely by influencing the amount of sales taking place, due to the attacks.
Start providing your customers with the updates that you promise them.
We have roughly 83,000 bots available, and preserved for this seizure, we could if we wanted to keep this going for weeks, however we have decided to give it a week, and see whether or not your attitude, and commitment will change, we believe it will when money stops rolling in for the time being...
anyhow, no we're not from roblox, or any other minecraft clone, not to mention none of us have been around 4chan for years, and nor has any real 4channers for that matter, its all newfags now, and has been for quite a few years."
Is the official quote. I don't know the origin of the quote, but it is happening.
So if you're missing your daily Minecraft fix, just keep in mind that you can apparently blame other Minecraft fans for the problem.

[thehoodedsmack]

That seems awful childish. I bought the game for its as-is qualities. Any additional patches and improvements thereafter are just a welcome surprise. Frankly, I don't think I've ever bought a game on investment value, that is to say, based on the notion that I deserve continued updates.

The wording on that page got changed well after I bought the game. He promised updates to me.
Furthermore, don't quote fucking Kotaku. The fact that they're reposting 4chan quotes speaks volumes about the quality of the site.

Regardless of them quoting 4chan or not, it was an interesting article about the game.

Another interesting article, Gamasutra has a breakdown of the game's mechanics and tries to analyze why it's successful.

more or less yes, biomes will be different "climates" ex. a desert biome will have all sand with cacti with no real water (possible oasises?)

Played the classic version last night. Joined a random server and was fucking around. Dug into the ground and fell into a massive chamber. Ran around lost for 15 minutes and I saw a guy out in the fog. He stopped moving, so I used the opportunity to build a big box around him. turns out it was Freelancer (low what are the chances). We spent the next few hours building a massive tower. I went back to the server today to check. As I was making some changes some dude came and fucked up the giant gold dome I made. :(

I spent yesterday playing some normal difficulty. Right now I'm building on a medium sized island not far from the spawn. I've got two buildings so far, a dock (facing the spawn) that seconds as a defense tower, and a mine further in the island. Stuck dirt to the north side of trees to act as sort of a compass and have a big ass arrow in the sky pointing to the mine. The mine itself, I'm working on the outside defenses for. Building a big cobblestone wall, and am planning on making it a couple stories tall.

Inside the mine I managed to hit a huge fucking cavern filled with minerals that bereaks off in like ten different directions, which travels even deeper, some of the caves are filled with lava. fucking freaks me out when I hear a bow and arrow firing at me from inside somewhere I have yet to explore.

It's actually a glitch, the infinite log burning. It only works on single logs, though. A stack of them will burn away. I'm not sure why it happens, but it's great for making damaging torches, or decorative fireplaces.

I've been working on a 1:1 scale replica in SP, but the only problem I've come across is that damn 128 block height limit. Notch was talking about bringing it up to 256, but that would still not be able to fit.

I mean, this guy is generating over one hundred grand in a day easily and it's not even in beta yet! Yes, I am one of the few people who have never purchased or played WoW in my life. I can sort of understand the creativity factor of this game but an average sale of this game every 3 seconds? What is going on here and did I miss something?

Welp, guess I better get started on my crappy java 8-bit multi-million dollar game. Who's comin' with me man?

I don't even care about biomes, best part of the update's going to be the sky.

Who's excited for this? Pain Forest sounds like intense levels of manly-awesomeness, the likes of Minecraftians have only dreamed of thus far. What are your theories as to how this biome will operate?

As the graph indicates, the Pain Forest seems to be in a max precipitation, max temperature environment. I predict that the region will periodically experience a TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR of blood. Only the MANLIEST of men (probably those from Australia) will be able to withstand the intense acidity [sic] of the blood rain. Potentially, less-than-manly Mincraftians could utilize corrosion-resistant GOLDEN ARMOR to shield themselves.

The intense heat and awesomeness will be too great for the weak wooden structures that lesser men create, causing all wooden creations to INSTANTLY BURST INTO FLAMES. Even TREES will be unable to brave the awesome heat, and instead, only the super-manly IRON-TREES will find the willpower to grow in the Pain Forest and can only be harvested by a DIAMOND AXE.

Also, any water in the area will INSTANTLY EVAPORATE through processes only understood by SCIENTISTS and some THEOLOGIANS. Zombies in the area will have the skin melt away and only their SKELETONS will remain, and they'll shoot ARROWS from their STERNUMS. Spiders in the area will inexplicably grow TWICE THEIR SIZE, and maybe shoot fire, FROM THEIR THORAX [sic]. Creepers will still explode as usual, but their suicide will also release a LAVA SPRING from their REMAINS. Skeletons will mostly remain the same, except that their arrows will now BURST INTO FLAMES since they're made of wood. Your own arrows will tend to do the same. I think we can agree that this is AWESOME.

Sheep will INSTANTLY BURST INTO FLAMES, due to the high flammability of their wool coats. Only the manliest of sheep will remain, those with coats of PURE DIAMOND. Except these Diamond Sheep aren't DOCILE. Instead they will give up EVERYTHING in an attempt to KILL YOU. AND YOUR FRIENDS. They don't eat grass, they eat FIRE. These Sheep will shoot LASERS from their EYES. Also they can glide do to INEXPLICABLE means.

Pigs will spawn FULLY COOKED and ANGRY. They will lung at you and can jump FOUR METERS into the AIR. They will also GLARE at you disconcertingly from a DISTANCE. This will probably make unmanly men feel UNCOMFORTABLE. Manly men, however, will KICK THOSE PIGS' ASSES.

Cows can be milked for LAVA, but only if you're man enough to get close to them, since they are now equipped with a SHOTGUN. Their shot gun fires FLAMING BULLETS. Cows are dangerous and on a mission of VENGEANCE.

There are no chickens in the Pain Forest. Instead, chickens will have evolved into flying DRAGONS. Dragons breath FIRE through processes described as SCIENCE and HERESY. These dragons are MEAN, but are actually PRETTY COOL GUYS once you get to know them. But to get to know them, you have to RIDE THEM with a SADDLE, not in the SEXUAL WAY because that'd be GROSS.

Caves in this region would be DANGEROUS, filled with large amounts of LAVA and DEATH. When torches run out, THEY EXPLODE. The caves are lined with pockets of ADMINIUM (or whatever you dudes decide to call it). Inside the adminium are smaller pockets of DIAMOND, but you can't get to them because you are not MANLY ENOUGH since you're not AUSTRALIAN, unless you are, in which case you need BETTER EQUIPMENT. Dungeons in the region will be MAZE LIKE with TRAPS, possibly LASERS. There will also be deposits of coal, but they'll be on FIRE. Iron and gold will have been pre-smelted in the AWESOME HEAT. Redstone deposits may infact shoot LASERS even though that's IMPLAUSIBLE. But hey, so is Redstone IN GENERAL. There will also be deposits of TNT, which will explode when you PISS IT OFF. You can piss it off by being smug about being manly, or being RACIST. TNT HATES racism.

Grass won't grow in the Pain Forest, since it would just BURST INTO FLAMES, or evaporate. Instead, the ground will be covered by the blood of LESSER MEN. Flowers that grow on this blood will want to KILL you, but will be unable to because they're FLOWERS. The sun doesn't shine in the Pain Forest because it's too afraid that the Pain Forest will kick its ASS. It's probably right. The moon, however, does rise, but it's RED and will shoot LASERS, that teleport you to the HELL DIMENSION which could potentially be on the MOON next to the DRACULA MOON BASE [source] (http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p18). As it turns out, Dracula is a GOOD NEIGHBOR.

Anyway, this sums up my theories regarding the Pain Forest. I'm look forward to see what Notch does with this. My theory is that the Pain Forest is the ideal dwelling for HEROBRINE. Or at least it was, but he was too UNMANLY to survive and DIED EMBARRASSINGLY, which is something he REGRETS.

I also did the big penis. Just a heads up!

It wasn't that big, I made a bigger one on another server.

And it was 3D.

Play on a good server (like mine), so you can build in an area only trusted people can build in.

this... actually works

What a waste of perfectly good tools. Go find a cave and explore it.

[t3h m00kz]

May be a rough on tools, but it's fast.

Plus, I came across more than enough iron to replace any tools I lost... as long as you grab all the iron on your way down you'll have plenty. Actually never had so much iron before. I explore caves as I find them, but I don't dig in too deep around the walls, just stuff I see as I go through. first time I've gotten this deep before, managed to see flat pools of lava for the first time.

Why make something thats suppose to be enjoyment in doing so, a regimented task. I love randomly coming across diamond, but searching within strict parameters takes the fun out of it.

[Cagerrin]

I only ever found a dozen diamond while digging randomly.

Then I stumbled into a dungeon with a single stack of 64 diamond blocks.

So far I've used about half of that on tools and armour, and that was probably a month ago.

Build a castle then as you mine underground then. :P

Edit: Downloading this junk let's see if it works out right bros.

Broke down and bought it. In two hours I have an extensive dungeon system and no coal left. :(

You'll get a much greater surplus if you mine caves as you explore. Also it's way more interesting than that crap :ugh:
But if you're playing minecraft like runescape, go ahead and mine that way :p

You can use wooden planks as fuel for furnaces too (though it's not as efficient as coal).

I found enough. Oh crap it's been 6 hours since I've got the game. Let's see.... I've spent so much time under the ground... GAH man I gotta do this on someone else's server (wmclan.net just isn't workin out for meh)

Using the tips on the previous page Torches on the left means down, torches on the right means a path to the surface... I'm so dead when Torches start to die after X time. Also I want some freakin' diamond. UGH. But I don't really want to grind for it :/ blech.

I was wanting lanterns, in terms of you can hold one in your inventory and it would like your surroundings so you can walk in the dark, but still see.

dont run it through steam :P

you dont need to anyways i run it from my desktop

Oh nuts, I can't get the portal to work in SMP in time. I'll add a flag to start in either normal or Nether mode so you can try it in smp. No hell mode in SMP?
Minecarts and boats still won't work well in SMP after this update. But the tracks will. - Whats point in tracks, if minecarts dont work?
And so do stairs now. They will never auto-turn ever again! Yay!

Seems like hes left alot of the development for the update pretty late.

Bump its out!

Is this a seasonal update or what.

Also their servers are getting hammered.
