Minecraft = Love

I feel like I have no right to be annoyed about this but does anyone else not like all the random torches that have been scattered throughout the landscape?

Same here, even though I know have placed my far share...

We should leave large tracts of land untouched, like around the lava falls...
 
It annoys me too. A little. I usually take mine before I leave an area though. If I don't plan on returning.


Edit: I just built a border around this entire landmass. So yeah. All mmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeee. Right now, the border is just a single strip of cobblestone ( a lot of ****ing cobblestone), but it'll be an actual wall eventually. 3 blocks thick, hopefully. I plan on putting structures everywhere. Home away from home.

like i said, i use torches as a guide-rope from my site to my mine which is about 7/8 torches in a line across a short distance. i'll take them down once i've finished but unless i'm playing on much darker screen settings then you guys, how on earth does anyone see anything in the wild when the sun gets down? i can't see a thing outside of the city, so whilst i'm building outside of the bright lights, i'm gonna be using torches to find my way around.
 
I think having torches scattered around is unavoidable. When exploring they're used to mark the path back, mark cave entrances, draw attention to certain areas etc. If you want the wilderness to look nice (unbesmirched by torches), either clear your area of torches, or go further out into the wild.
 
Dear morgs,
If your place caught on fire, I am truely sorry. I'd replant the trees if I were you, I'm gonna make my house with a cobble lining, so if it catches, I won't lose EVERYTHING, just most things..
 
I was thinking about this the other day. Wouldn't it be awesome if you could discover dynamically generated towns, inhabited by natives who actually go around and mine shit and fight mobs. And they build or expand their own homes too...

It would be a lot of AI work, but it would be so damn awesome.
 
I think he's gonna try to make dynamically spawned goblin villages eventually. I read that on his blog once.. I think the whole deal is that you're alone in a new land (well, at least that's what the fan made trailer says, and that's probably the most canon we have to go by...)
 
I would love there to be dynamically spawned villages. I love SMP, but I would enjoy playing SP with other entities that arent basically brain dead.

yeah I'm taking mine down once shit is built there. I'm just marking my territory first and then adding structures there for obvious reasons

Dwarf Fortress.
 
Except the natives don't actually go around and mine shit and stuff in DF, they don't build upon their cities etc after world generation is finished.

After world generation is finished, the world outside of your Fortress(Which you control) is very much still static.

Not for much longer. He's been adding the whole farming and hamlet thing in. In recent talk pages he's discussed expanding civs post-gen. Plus with the army arc there are armies that go around attacking things.

Point is, Toady's already laid down the foundation for all that stuff.
 
I'm well aware of that, been a DF:er since August '06, even played the precursor to DF back when it was still in active development(It was 3D and terrible.)

And idle in the official IRC channel too.

Personally I'd prefer for Toady to prioritize adding to DF the things we have in Minecraft, i.e. crafting and building in Adventurer-mode.
 
You can build in adventure mode... and cook and make stone knives and stuff. Two different styles of adventurer working.

The only reason I even brought up DF is because pretty much every feature I've heard asked for for Minecraft is already in or being developed in DF.

Minecraft is a great building-escapism game, but if you want hardcore and feature-rich DF is better.

Oh and DF did the computer and the calculator much better.
 
I love reading about DF, but I feel like I would need to understand the code from the matrix to get anywhere.

That is the most apt simile ever. DF seems awesome but every time I try to play it the interface just grinds my brain into the ground. I've never gotten too far.
 
Hundreds of obsidian blocks! Theres three more waterfalls down here out of the screenshot with obsidian under them.

You know you can make obsidian right? Just need some water over a complete lava block. That's how you get the lava under the obsidian. Me and Kaz mined loads of obsidian yesterday.
 
Yeah.

Alternatively, steal a whole stack of it from my chest, lols.
 
Holy shit. I can't believe I messed around with that image for an hour, reformatted and posted it without noticing the goddamn coolface grinning at me all the while.
 
Like an hour and a half of careful obsidian placement.
 
Can I suggest we look into this?

It's relatively new, seems like he's still working out a few kinks, but we could always make a backup and test it out.

Edit: Couple neat (client side) mods, also!

Better Grass: http://minecraftforums.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=38885

Makes grass wrap around the side of blocks completely if it's only a drop of 1 block, making hills look more like actual, rolling hills. It still uses the dirt texture if it's a larger drop for cliffs and such. Works with any texture pack!

Simple Map: http://minecraftforums.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=45059

Adds a minimap to the top right corner. Only shows the topmost blocks, so no cave view unfortunately, but it looks pretty neat on the server and helps keep your bearings.

They're both by the same guy and install the same way, instructions in the Grass link.

Fine, I confess, even though I frequent the IRC channel I haven't actually played DF in almost half a year.:(

I unlike some here didn't find the interface that hard to get used to, the wiki has(back when I played anyway) great tutorials to help you ease into the game and interface.

*Puts on dunce hat and sits in corner*

But seriously, if DF ever reaches 1.0 it will be the best game evar, I can't wait to rise from a lowly peasant to a king in it.
 
I don't really like the "better" grass. The other two seem cool.

I say meh, I'm fine with the current whitelist system to make sure every random retard can't join and ruin everything. The amount of freedom you get is what makes Minecraft so great.

Hey man, are you my neighbour? You should come over one day and see the sky library!
 
Except we're using the whitelist and retards are still ruining things. Only because we're all regulars or friends of regulars, it's almost impossible to tell who's doing it because everyone is basically trustworthy. Just makes this kind of thing easier to get away with. :(

I'm still working on my entrance. i'll probably start my tower/home tomorrow
 
Oh man, I've been playing since the server crash, just installed it on my home PC after finally buying a premium account - and it boots to a black screen ;(

Tried the interweb's solution of deleting the .minecraft folder, no success. Damn, I want to play so much!
 
I request to be re-whitelisted. I am not amused.

If the wiki is still relevant for the Alpha version, you could temporary delete the player, see if the vandalism was undone, ???, profit! Also, there should be daily backups of the proper server files.
 
I have noticed that items can vanish on their own, I had a stack of gold and a diamond vanish over night from my personal inventory, I imagine the same is possible with chests.

You stole my halfblocks building method you son of a bitch!

EDIT: I think the server just died.
