I've been wanting this game to play in small bursts without it eating my life.

The demo is downloading as I type this.

Why can't you play in small bursts with the full version?

While I probably could, I'm prioritising my schoolwork for now.

I'll probably buy the full version over Christmas.

Interesting minecart intersection - Seems there's a lot you can do with the new powered tracks:


Creeper fun:

Wow, I love to double-post. Legally. :P

I'm loving these new weather effects, I saw rain in Minecraft for the first time today:

I also found one of these:

I was looking up how to use note blocks on YouTube, but I didn't expect to find stuff like this:




And is it me or are mobs far more numerous and aggressive now?

EDIT: Something not worth a triple-post for, a screenshot from my testing map. I cheated to get the wool for this so there wasn't much effort involved: http://www.oddworldforums.net/images...icon10_odd.gif

If the multiplayer server ever comes back, maybe I can recreate it there if you'd like.

*triple post!* What, does nobody play this anymore?

I built a better transit system - And it's a simple enough design, feel free to replicate it (you may want to click away the ad to read the subtitles):


EDIT: Closer look at station layout:

Booster (you actually only need one redstone torch, I put two down for the sake of appearance):

How much free time does one have on his hands?...

Not you, the guy who created the Portal songs with noteblocks.

Ever seen that 1:1 scale of the Starship Enterprise made on Minecraft?
that is a great example of someone with absolutely no life.

Darkhoodness, have you experimented with the powered rail allowing you to go in 2 directions? I found a neat video demonstrating this really well but I can't seem to find it. It has something to do with rails bending to the nearest powered rail I think.

You mean like the 3 way junction vid I posted in my first of the triple posts?

): is right, you care about appearance but you use gravel?

Also, I do try to play occasionally but get bored very quickly. There are a couple of building projects I want to do but getting the materials is just so damn dull. Especially clay. Brick lighthouse == impossible.

Point = Missed. "):" isn't an emoticon for starters.

I just found it cooler to speed past 2 redstone torches at night than it was to have them on just one side of a track - Plus they stand out more as a landmark from a distance. Not that it's too important though.

Mobs rarely spawn on gravel and it's easy to obtain and remove - Stone and wood are both tedious to obtain and when I used dirt, animals ended spawning on my skyrail. Gravel is more subtle than sand, especially when it's in the sky cutting across my map, plus traintracks are normally on gravel IRL so I think it makes sense.

Here's an even simpler powered track - But it's not bi-directional and doesn't go as fast as mine:

im still playing the game,and the weather effect is great,i play normaly,but if i want to build something without searching ages for materials i use invedit

Um... yes, but not ones that are in the air. You're spending so much time on this that you could surely afford to use stone. Heck, even cobblestone is nicer than gravel.


I don't cheat. Oh, and MCPlayerEdit is inveditly better.

inveditly, infinitely. Right?

Shit. That's where I saw it.

lol i accidentaly broke a gravel block and revealed minecrafts deepest depression,i do not dare to go to the bottom,cuz its a one way ticket,and i made to mutch to die down there

Drop sand/gravel down the hole, then dig your way down through that sand/gravel. When you want to go back up, use the trick where you can jump and place blocks beneath you.

the hole is so deep that i cant see the bottom,ill try to go down

Been playing with the junction that was in the vid I linked to a few posts back:

It kind of works but the layout of the buttons is hellish confusing even after I label them.

Don't you get bored of Minecraft at all? I haven't played it for almost 3 weeks now because I simply don't want to. It got boring. D:

I'm a little burned out on it myself, actually. Sure, SMP is fun, but when you can't access the servers you play on single player gets old real quick. A lot of the fun comes from interacting with other players.

Also I seem to be getting really bad performance recently, and playing at 15fps becomes a chore real quick. I don't want to install any performance mods until the Mod API is sorted, so I'm kinda boned.

The suckiest thing about Minecraft SMP is that sometimes a player can kill you and you won't be able to see them at all. Not only that, but sometimes there are massive delays between attacks, so if a player does attack you, you can't log out fast enough for yourself not to die. PvP isn't fun for the victims!

My computer is fast and all, but whenver I go on a SMP server, I bug out and I can't break blocks, if so I teleport to my spawn apparently?

I played it a lot for two or three days after 1.5 came out, but until I get an idea for a new project I don't really play it as often as I make it look like. On average I play it for 2 or 3 hours every 4 to 5 days or so, unless the multiplayer server that I play on is up. Recently I've been working on minecart tracks for said multiplayer server so that's kept me interested for now. And of course multiplayer is fun.

It's a lot more interesting than Uni work, so aside from World of Warcraft it's my favourite way of procrastinating. :P (even though I shouldn't. I am getting my stuff done though.)

@Hulaabeo - Try turning the frame limiter on.

Hey nerds: http://notch.tumblr.com/post/5136312...nabling-nether

Here's my youtube minecraft video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwaP94wRW7g

Also here's a great SMP server for you to play on.

I found this funnier than I should have.

I had a go at creating a world with a custom seed yesterday. After learning that seeds don't have to be numbers, I punched in "oddworld" to see what happens.

The result was desert biome starting area with smaller patches of dirt and a couple of trees. Stone was nowhere to be seen at first, my first batch came from the bottom of a pond. But there was plenty of sand, so I decided to go all Arabia and build a house out of sandstone (initially sand, I was in a hurry - then I realised, and made the roof out of sandstone instead).

http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1305667604
(mentioned house and the surrounding desert)

http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1305667611
(inside of mentioned house, at the time not entirely made of sandstone)

Playing in a desert biome is a good twist to the usual mode of playing. You don't really get lucky outcroppings of coal (even stone), you have to rely on sand a lot initially, and (as far as I'm aware) passive mobs don't spawn on sand.

I've been playing with seeds lately. Look at this topic and try some of the seeds there:

http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewto...=1031&t=193162

I personally recommend:

-1784338777788894343 Perhaps the best map ever. You might have to try it a couple of times to spawn in a good place. This map has many floating mountains and waterfalls with a huge tunnel running underneath them.

Attila the Hun - You spawn in a flattish snow-covered area with a large frozen sea, barely any trees and a couple of small mountains.

Don't forget gargamel!

Oh snap. I was just checking out that one before I checked on here. It's very impressive indeed.

And, of course, 404. Too lazy to look for it myself; just google 'minecraft 404 challenge'.

Fuck this game and it's addictiveness. Gaah!

I might start playing Minecraft again... today. I got an urge to build a fancy house on an island.

Started the 404 challenge. I got about 5 minutes into it before I died. FML.

I'm almost done building my villa on top of the highest mountain I could find. After that I'm going to build the longest and highest bridge you've ever seen.

I hate this game.

It's weird, people who are addicted to the game hate it but I love it and can't play it for more than five minutes.

It's a bit like porn. Each time you're done with it you feel kind of weird because you don't really know what the point of all that was. Yet each time you come back for more.

hm i was making a project on a multi barreled cannon,but the circuit is malfunctioning leading to my whole 14 cannon platform to go boom,does anyone know something usefull for making these things?

Brilliant. So now you can go to Hell on acid.
