I normally have it on peaceful when I'm watching 'net TV in the background and have the sound turned off so therefore can't hear enemies - But normally only when doing mundane tasks such as constructing lava moats and farming lava from the nether. :) Otherwise having it on normal or hard makes the game a lot more interesting and fun.

Peaceful really is like cheating, although I will admit that I sometimes exploit the health regeneration that peaceful mode gives you when low on health and stuck at the bottom of a deep cave with no restorative items. Otherwise I die, lose all my stuff that took me hours to farm, and that's frustrating and not fun at all. Then I stick it back on normal/hard again to keep it interesting.

... I still sometimes fall into lava and lose my stuff anyway though. :P

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Done. Achievements. Well nearly, just the catch fish, travel 1k, bake cake to do.

Don't bother about the cake, it's a lie.

derp cake is lie becaus derp

Has anyone seen the new saplings? You can burn em too!

Found this on another forum: apparently Creepers can also be struck by lightning.

Good God.

That's quite ghastly on the one hand, and a foreboding idea on the other: imagine a blast of electricity, with you being in steel armor.

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:

http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1304445319

http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1304445321

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:
