nerf creepers and remove endermen. Why would I want an npc that drops no loot that I can use, and fucks up my pretty trees even when I'm not around to watch?!
edit also for anyone who doesn't know 1.8 is officially released shit is very pretty. The new lighting made a real difference, especially combined with the new biomes and worldgen
Double walling my base to ~hopefully~ help protect from endermen.
The endermen really haven't been a threat. Also wearing a pumpkin helmet causes them to avoid you even if you look at them. Supposedly while their pearls don't have a use yet, people have said that having it out will cause them to teleport away from you. No idea if thats true or not. Now creepers on the other hand piss the shit out of me, morning comes around and their chillin outside my door. I did however finally figure out how to use pistons to farm sugar cane and watermelons.

I spent almost 6 hours on my friend's server just running around inhabiting an NPC village and hunting endermen with the new archery mechanic. SO GOOD. i have like 50 Ender Pearls now.Originally Posted by Don Peyote
Cave spelunking is fucked now though, because they actually spawn like real caves. So scary cause theres just SO much darkness for skellies and creepers to hide out in :U

Some Finlander (not the cool one) came onto the PL server and started lighting things on fire and accusations started flying as to who did what to who. There was an epic witch hunt and many innocent houses were destroyed in the process. Castle Spike still survives, along with Fortress Doink and most of the rail system.
I decided to plant exploding trees around the map to discourage clear cutting other people's property. I've also built a tower with multiple TNT cannons should anyone try to storm my castle.

And much like Minecraft, those that are updated have loads of new (and old) bugs to fix.
pl mc server is apparently resetting when there's a stable 1.9, what's a nice-looking way to use 100ish iron blocks (900 ingots)? Off the top of my head all I got is either making a railway to some place farfarfar away
or an iron dong
Obsidian sky castle A go-go
No pics yet because it's about a year away from completion, but the first blocks are down!
I hear Minecraft will be officially "released" in six days!
Another week or two and the mods should catch up. I can't wait.
I've been running a Industrial Craft 2 server with 1.8.1 and having fun. I found an awesome place to build my castle and I just about have everything I need to fire up a nuclear reactor. Hopefully I don't blow everything up.
terraria is adding redstone in the december patch fuck minecraft
dude, it's 2d....
I put up my fifth reactor yesterday but sourcing uranium is the limiting factor at this point. The breeder I have isn't cutting it either.
So, notch sperged out.
Who would have thought? heh.

TotalBiscuit responds to the Notch /yogscast drama
Looks like the witchhunt on both sides is in full swing, here's my two-pence on the latest developments, point by point.
Alright so, when you bring celebrities to a convention, do you generally ask them to come for free? If you run a Star Trek convention, do you ask Riker and Spock to attend gratis? You expect them to go without compensation, which usually includes transatlantic flights and accomodation for several people as well as an appearance fee? No, you don't. Conventions rely on the celebrities in question to bring people to the event, drive traffic to the stream and add value. Yogscast are not just a couple of random fans, this is their full-time job. I've been doing events for a while now as a commentator, if an event didn't offer to pay for my services I'd have to think twice about going. Why? Because it's my job, doing things for free devalues you and it's very easy to be taken for a ride if you act like a push-over. If it was down the road, sure, maybe. If it's half way across the planet, well yeah, I'd kinda want to get paid for doing that gig, as would pretty much every eSports commentator. Yogscast went to do a panel and sign autographs, that in itself is a service, not to mention the fact that it takes them away from their regular jobs. The fact that no-one else got paid does not indicate a problem with Yogscast, but with a multi-millionaire staffing a convention with volunteers. Having seen some of the footage from Minecon, "a bunch of nerds who don't know how to run a company" is exactly how I'd describe Mojang and y'know what? I wouldn't even say that's a bad thing. The whole grass-roots "hey we're just one guy and his idea who made it big" thing is endearing and honest, but as we've just seen from this rampage, professionalism is not the highest priority of Mojang at the moment and they really don't know how to run a company. That line can be taken in many different ways, particularly coming from 2 British guys that are known to take the piss (like every British guy ever born).
They are certainly the biggest driving force behind Minecraft at present, you only need to look at the view count. After Seananners stopped doing Minecraft content, Yogscast became a massive source of free promotion for the game. Their videos hit the frontpage of Youtube every day, showing Minecraft off on the second largest search engine in the world time after time. I'm not sure Notch fully grasps just how much that many views on Youtube can do for your product. To give another example, the Magicka developers told me that they attribute the majority of their sales to WTF is Magicka and The Yogscast and TotalBiscuit play Magicka. This would make sense, if you look at the views on those videos, they are massive. For an indie company, Youtube and word of mouth are the two biggest forms of free marketing available and guess what generates word of mouth? Well how about literally over a million people watching and talking about Yogscast Minecraft videos? If anything, Notch does actually sound a little ungrateful here which is a rather flabbergasting attitude from an indie dev and one I've never seen before (those who don't know, my main source of income is my WTF is series which hilights indie games, it's fairly well viewed and I've had nothing but gratitude from devs whose games I've promoted). I suppose when you get as big and as wealthy as Notch, the attitude can change.
Welcome to Yogscast humour and more to the point, British humour. The easily offended need not to apply. How old was this kid? The Yogscast demographic is quite young anyway and there is plenty of harsh language in their videos, not to mention they would hear much worse on the playground. This sounds like a joke, not a particularly good one, but a joke none-the-less and not worth getting in a tizzy over.
Well no, it's not Notch, you've bred one of the most retarded fanbases in gaming history. It's not your fault, but the entire Minecraft community is not in fact, about respecting and caring. There are subcommunities within it that are,/r/Minecraft is a great subreddit from what I can see, Yogscast also has a large community of it's own over on it's forums that does just as you describe. However, you also have a lot of immature, raging assholes in your "community" as well as plenty of others who are just out for themselves. Those people don't do massive charity streams like Yogscast do, they don't promote mods (and yes I am aware of the issues with the Yogbox, nobody goes through life without fuckups), they don't act as an extremely important stimulus to the community that you apparently love so much. Yogscast is without question one of the most important forces within not only Minecraft but at this point, gaming in general. They wield a massive amount of influence and they make a hell of a lot of people very happy.
Who knows what actually happened, it will be interesting to see if the community points the pitchforks back at Notch after Yogscast is able to make their statement (they are probably still on a plane right now) and tell their side of the story. Everyone loves a good witch-hunt, but a little perspective here please and do we really have to air this dirty laundry in public?
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
In the Spirit of this Board the answer is yes.
Kugu was built on dirty laundry.
I have two miners with diamond drills and OV scanners working pretty much full time, fueling my three breeders. Currently have 4 stacks of enriched uranium, and I don't even need any yet, because the breeders keep my shit running.
Notch's naivety is understandable and even sorta endearing, but obliviousness of this severity is just dumb. Perhaps S&L were vivisecting kitties in their hotel room and randomly jabbing fans with HIV-laced needles during the con, but I doubt it. I'm sorta curious to see how they respond.
I learned of this scuffle here, actually, as I don't follow the Minecraft community at all. I have no interest in yogscast beyond this kerfuffle and I only know TotalBiscuit because Rock Paper Shotgun linked to his videos once. I found him annoying.
I enjoyed the drama, I imagine it boils down to Notch's EQ rather than his IQ and possibly a little devil on his shoulder stirring things,
reddit had a couple of threadnaughts all day yesterday which were fun, some sane dissection like so and the drama is still rolling even after Notch called himself a dick
so much delicious rage, and thx for the tb xpost, I hadn't read it and it's pretty spot on ++
Not really a surprise. Notch doesn't seem to think before he splurges all over twitter. Hell thats what made Bethesda so pissed off at them and cause the drama between them two. The lawsuit probably could have been settled without much publicity.

Another release of Industrial Craft 2 has come out if you're interested. It's still for MC v1.8.1 unfortunately. However, lots of fixes and a few changes. I think I'll upgrade my server tonight.
to be fair the yogscast guys don't exactly have the best record either. For instance:
going in the gaming press and claiming credit for minecraft's success: http://www.next-gen.biz/news/yogscas...crafts-success
as well as attempting to shut modders out from making money off their work: http://crafthub.net/2011/06/22/yogscast-v-modders/
and having to be told multiple times by multiple modders not to include their work in the yogbox due to lack of permission or credit given.
Anyone got a good minecraft skin

My Minecraft battle report
That was awesome! I'm now semi-interested in trying it out; I was unaware that PvP existed.
Killing someone carrying hours or days worth of materials is fun. watching them stumble into a ravine or dark monster filled crevasse is also fun.

Update: Uploaded Minecraft 1.2.2 because birches and pine trees were missing…
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
ALL THE CAT MOATS
Will there be a 1.2 Bukkit release, or will 1.2 be forever without Bukkit and then 1.2.whatever or 1.3.whatever will have a Bukkit-like API integrated into MC?
I looked on their forums and HAHA THAT WAS A WASTE OF TIME.
Well one of the main devs said in December last year that he would be adding official mod support in January this year so really by now there should be no need bukkit if mojang weren't handgrubbingly terrible.
I guess you didn't hear. I thought Rer's link was about this, but it isn't:
http://www.mojang.com/2012/02/minecr...-strengthened/
The four Bukkit devs joined Mojang and will be developing the MC API, hence my question.
Oh, did not know this. Fantastic!
Anyone else watching Mindrack Ultra Hardcore? I swear, Pause is going to give me a fucking heart attack.
Thaumcraft 2 - Be patient with the video - there are some awesome reveals throughout.

I finally finished this castle I was building the other day...
... I can't find it?
So I built three more
I'm building a massive tree, 10:1 scale of regular minecraft trees.
It's taking a while...
Update: Bukkit devs are lazy motherfuckers and still haven't released mc api
Update2: I'm still mad about it
Update3:You can now (or have been able to for a while now) use ender pearls for teleportation. Which is hilarious.
Update4: Centra had a minecraft survival op thing. Last man standing etc. I teamed up with like three dudes to 0wnzone but we couldn't figure out how to get food fast enough and we died from starving-related deaths. Came up with genius ideaplan for infinite food literally a minute after I died. Patiently awaiting next centra-op.
Last weekend we held the first Minecraft Games with TEST, PL and Waffles; last man standing won, one life each.
We had about 18 dudes on a vanilla server running a custom map enclosed with bedrock walls from max height down to bedrock. Everyone started on an island and there was a 5 minute grace period to get out of dodge.
There was also a chest full of stuff on the starting island on a tower with a jumping puzzle above the island, no fewer than 5 people died trying to get to it. In the end it came down to me and a TEST dude, Gomoso, he managed to knock me into the water and shot me with arrows as I tried to get out.
We'll be running more games, we may need a better server though as the one we use is US and only allows 20 dudes. Euros were complaining about ping (like they always do). If you want to play you should make an Other Games account on our forums so you can see the dates and get on Mumble.
The next map is going to be a team game in a huge maze.
Frontpaging that shit. People need to be alerted.

I have to get in on this
