Is it good/bad? Should I keep going? etc, etc.
@Mooks: You can also generatethat one stone typeobsidian by placing Lava inside water.
@ Plague: You spent like 4 minutes talking about the options menu. Blech. Also if you have like 20 logs in there for wood, you can right click on the wood and it will just add them together. Try it.
Alright. Would these seem useful at all to anyone, or should I quit before I get ahead?
maybe for those new to it you could do something.Quote:

Lava doesn't work like water, in that you can't place two lava blocks two spaces apart and expect the middle space to become filled with lava. There's a finite amount in each map section. However, there's a whole bunch of lava in the Nether, and it'll generate more as you explore further, so theoretically, you can get an infinite amount.Quote:

oh yeah I knew that stuff. Obsidian is as easy as a single bucket of water
I haven't had the nerve to explore the nether yet, the screams freak me out
I play on Peaceful. The world is far less frightening.Quote:

That's what I do too. On top of that, I can't mine Obsidian, 'cause I got no diamond tools. I just pour the lava into a frame.
no diamond eh? You should spend some time mining the caverns in the overworld then. Also, i've noticed that it is a wise idea to mine the area surrounding diamond ore as well as the ore itself. Sometimes diamond ore blocks will separate themselves from the rest of the vein, and people will never find them because they're at a diagonal, or a block or two off from the pack. Just a little tip for the future.
buckets dont, but water blocks ARE NOT affected
Download that XRay app, can show you where all types of block are, that is if your real desperate.

Better? Once I hit about day 4 or 5 it'll get way more interesting.

no, but they're overwhelming in numbers.
skeletons are by far my most hated mob (not counting the ghast, because thats a fucking given, ok.). i always end up getting hit a couple times before i manage to get close enough to do any damage. its the fact that they can attack from a range that i have issues with. i dont usually carry a bow with me either, but i suppose thats my fault. i never used to have issues with creepers, but now i seem to be getting blown up more. idk. zombies are not a problem, and you just have to know when to swing to knock back a spider.
Skele's are usually a problem for me when I'm either surrounded or don't have strafing room (eg caves). Otherwise you can walk around them faster than their arrows can move to hit you.
Seriously though, get a bowe and always have it in an inventory slot. they're so fucking useful and since Notch made arrows way cheaper, there's no reason not to use them.
wait what about arrows being cheaper?
The original recipe for arrows required an ingot of iron where you now put flint. You can imagine why that was changed :pQuote:

it isn't a lot of TNT, but it was fun.
creeper carts are getting annoying
In case anyone was wondering (or if anyone is even left in these seemingly dead forums) I've made a watch and portal patch for higher res textures in minecraft. watch only works at 32x32 tho since i can't seem to figure out what else needs to be changed. Portal works at 32, 64, and 128. i could make a 256 if needed but that's just kinda unnecessary tbh.
edit: forgot the link

New update tomorrow too! Adds you being able to die in SMP, and you can kill other players, mobs, etc.

Man those were the days!
Man, I remember that, 4 days ago.Quote:

Thought I'd spend some time tonight working on my house/fortress. Also built my first Nether portal. Fuck ghasts.
(To take screenshots, press F1 and F2)
Nice house, shame about the cobblestone though!
You see I was in freefall at the time (that's my max height tower there on the left). I'm gradually converting it away from cobble.

Upstairs, eventually going to be a library once I make more bookshelves.
Great to see a house with some proper design instead of a mashup of rooms with no obvious purpose or flow.
I want to see a portal mod for Minecraft so bad.
I think the addition of magical items would be cool, or even adding magical properties to existing items. You would only be able to get the magic dust from the nether.
Also, buy now or else you miss out on any updates after minecraft reaches a 'stable' state!Quote:
With Beta comes a larger focus on polish and content, and we’ll start early on with adding proper modding support with a stable API
Portal as in Valve's Portal?Quote:

that's where I got my skin. I edited a bit though.
so the beta is out guys...
- Working server-side inventory! Finally! And as a result of that, a whole pile of bugs and issues got fixed.
- Made SMP servers save chunks way less often in most cases. Chunks don’t resave if they got saved in the last 30 seconds
- Moving too far away from a container, or having it blow up, closes the inventory screen
- Fixed /kill
- Introduced leaf decay again. It acts differently from before
- You can now throw eggs
- On a whim, added super exclusive clan cloaks for Mojang Employees
- When you mouse over a block, its name pops up in a box.
- .. and something else, which is even more rare
Any good servers to play on?
Any reason I would get lag in minecraft? I'm damn sure my computer should be able to handle it.
nvm got it
Beta essentially broke SMP, made many people lag in SP because of Leaf Decay... Hopefully he will fix before Christmas.
SMP is fixed now just need to the hosts to update their servers as no one will be able to connect as keeps on saying outdated server.
Shame about all the mods :ugh:
I have my server running a temp. map, just because we are waiting on a stable release of hMod to keep our actual map out of chaos. Wow, maps can get really screwed up, fast:

The front view of my house. Landscaping is a WIP! Those reeds will be moved to the back yard eventually.
Rear view of my house, showing my back yard which will end up including some sort of garden/farm with trees.
Floor 3, the library.
Floor 2, central storage and processing.
First floor main entry with water feature, kinda like a nether portal...but water...
First floor lounge, similar to the one in my SP map that I posted here a while ago.
Guest wing hallway, featuring 4 rooms for other players in the server to customize as their own.
Inside of a guest room.
My room, don't know what I'm gonna do with the space yet. I'll probably bring that furthest wall in a bit to make more room in the storage floor.
On my server, nether portals are used for teleporting. Works out pretty well.
Is there some mod to make them do that or do they just do that on their own in MP?
It's a mod.
There are plguins to make them do it.
