Minecraft Discussion

Holy. sweet. JESUS.

Quote :

Most of the basics of the game engine is in place, so it’s time to flesh this game out into something more gamey. More content, more exploration, more things to do, and interesting combat! Once this update is out, there will only some tweaks, optimizations and code cleanups left to the core game before we can call it a full release.

We’ve got a list of some 40+ things we want to add to the game, some small, some big. Some huge. We’ve finished a fair number of the items, but there’s still a significant amount of work left. While I can’t reveal the date yet for various reasons, we do have a release date for the Adventure Update in mind, and we’re hoping we’ll be able to hit it.

Jens and I are keeping the exact contents of the update secret, but we do leak some information every now and then to keep people interested and to stop us from going insane. For the most immediate spoilers, you can follow us on Twitter (@notch and @jeb_), or on Google+ (+Markus Persson and +Jens Bergensten).

Here are a few of the things we’ve revealed so far:

NPC villages
Randomly generated dungeons
New biome code
Fully working Creative Mode (and individual admins can enter Creative Mode on a Survival Mode server if they choose)
Critical hits
Sprinting
More farming options

As soon as I can reveal the release date we’re aiming for, I will!

Oh, and the modding support is happening, honest.

They mentioned that on the Escapist a few weeks ago. P:

They ALSO mentioned that they were going to add a way to walk on clouds and gain access to a new "Sky world".

The sky realm to me sounds like normal minecraft, but you're about 80% more likely to fall to your void-related death

But I guess it WOULD be cool to turn one of those islands into a fortress, or something.

Or more like the WIP aether mod... which is a "hostile paradise..." way more than the normal minecraft.

Suddenly, Mushrooms

Also, I absolutley love the fact that we can place leaves now.
Because of that, I could finish making my new base! C:

(Right now I'm working on making it bigger.)

Edit: PFF I was standing right next to a sapling and it suddenly grew into a tree with me in it! xD

Watch out Kitty, I think I see a forest fire in the background

Judging by the fact that the tree is nowhere near the forrest in the background and nearly surrounded by water, I'll be alright. ;D

My computer has crashed, all my data is gone... That means I can use Internet on my iPad... But no mc. Period. Damnit!!!!!! ....sad

So your computer is down for good?

I just got back,.... Some data may be recovered... Anyway warranty covered that crash so I get a new computer fir free... I cant come on the chat for 5 days.... For some reason my iPad COULD connect to the chat, then it decided to replace the chat with a boring.....black....box. Yeah.

I can use the chat on my iPod.

The first time I tried it worked, but now it
Doesn.t exist...

I made a vid:

Oh God No...
Oh and, Mine's better.

I've started making some TNT cannons, including one that is completely flat.

I would give you a screenshot and refine my custom model, but I keep on screwing up blowing the entire thing up :/

You know what's really fun in multiplayer? If someone builds a TNT cube 9x9 in the sky, goes inside it and lights the exact center one, and someone watches, it
S legit, it goes off like a firework. Pattern and all! But obviously YOU can't watch it

Hutch is evil.
This proves it.

And this is just the beginning of our Space program

Who's wolf was that?

Thank god that wasn't Jojo. D:
(Though I think he may be dead anyways *shrug*)

Some didn't fall. You need to fix the rails.

And look what I fixed right after the explosion? :/

Hutch, server's on.

So, since this is a general discussion, not just about certain servers and such, how the heck can I find my home? I was going on a cow massacre because I needed some leather and lost the way back to my home. How do I get there? I'm getting kinda desperate now...I've been looking for three (Minecraft) days and not found it. I have some good loot at home and some good loot with me. I'd like to avoid killing myself and re spawning if I can. Would a compass help? Or a map?

Thanks

Map or Compass.
If you made your home around spawn, good. then use a compass and it'll lead you home.
Maps are kinda..Expensive (?)
They use 8 peices of paper AND a compass.
so I think compass alone would help.
