It was lagging pretty badly earlier, probably too full of awesomeness.

glassed main hall way, built an access hallway and flooded it, begun glassing main stairway.
i think thats a good day.
you can see the hall at night!
That is really awesome! I've been playing this on and off since July and I still haven't build underwater yet.
If you just want the visual of a well, you could do something like this:John said:
Code:
Top view:
O=stone, X=water

Side view:
O=stone, X=water, S=sand/dirt
OXO
OSOBuild your well with a hole as deep as you want it, put a sand/dirt block one block below where the water's surface should be, place the water block on top. Now remove the sand/dirt block and the water will flow down.
Bear in mind this won't flood an entire cavern at the bottom, you'd have to do that manually if you wanted it.
Also, scooping the water out with a bucket would empty your well. If you just want a well as an endless water source, make a 3x1 trough, dump water into the first and third block, the middle block will fill up. Scoop buckets from the middle and it'll refill every time.

Reading your posts makes me want to punch you in the face. Of course, that's the reaction you want to get, so good on you.

I've read every page in this thread and Twig is not the asshole here. It seems like nobody understand what he meant when he was talking to that other guy about how he obviously likes more than just building since he said so in his own posts.

Gives me an idea!
I did say in that post, I think, that I do feel like I should defend myself against false accusations! If not, I should have, and I am going to henceforth pretend like I did. Also, WanderingWind definitely wanted to disagree with me, for whatever reason. Maybe he hates me for other unrelated reasons, I don't know. ):Kritz said:
Whatever, though, it's all in the past now, and I certainly have nowhere near enough emotional investment to let it bother me extensively. I still wish we could have had that discussion I mentioned as the subject is an interesting one, I think, but alas, this is clearly not the thread for it. MINECRAFT MINECRAFT AWESOME ETC.

I tried to build a dragon head lair, but it looked like a snakehead in the end, so I am currently building snake lair!Twig said:
I am going to make the Mt. Rushmore of Minecraft. U: Not sure, yet, how I specifically want it to go, but, yeah!Tryckser said:I tried to build a dragon head lair, but it looked like a snakehead in the end, so I am currently building snake lair!
Also: going to make it Richie Rich style, with a secret lair inside the heads. :3 And have a rollercoaster neighboring the neighboring mansion ohnogettingmoreambitiousbythesecond
Maybe I'll even jump on the GAF server for the first time ever and do it there. (But I think I want to wait until the Halloween update at least, for whatever other cool additions he adds besides the already mentioned stuff.)
EDIT OOOOOH
You know what would be super awesome is if you build a really tall mountain by hand, the game recognizes it as a "mountaintop" biome, and it dynamically gets super cold and snowy at the top OOOOOOOOO:
oh man now i'm going to be disappointed when this doesn't happen ):

I think it's going to happen. Because probably it will be everthing from height X gets snowy, at least it would be an easy and logical way to implement the snow biome.Twig said:

Here's a snake I made in my friends' and I cheat world (just for different materials) awhile back. Eventually replaced the cobblestone with stone to make it look better.

Thats a good idea. Needs to be fairly slow though. Also, heavy armor in deserts could have the same effect.
So I was digging a really deep tunnel and was putting in some single hole skylights when I fell down one too far and died. Sadly I was in some unknown direction from my Home point and once again am lost trying to figure out where all my stuff is now lying. Fortunately I put a lot of it in a chest, but not all of it, and I can't find it. And now it's dark... so I get to wait 12 minutes for daytime to come back. Whee... I love this game! :lol
I'd been building tall towers as landmarks. Some have torches on them so I'll be able to find them at night. Guess I didn't build enough.

I don't find it that much unless I go really deep, which is what I was doing until I died. :lol And now I just died again while looking for my home to start looking again.
Edit: Yes! I found my tunnel again after fucking around somewhere else and dying once again while building a "landmark tower". I've got these things all over this world. I think I'll connect them all together via a series of sky bridges. Wow, that'll be dangerous...

Still loving this game. Still playing way too late.
Last night I built some ships and explored a group of islands. I was loaded up with bacon, bread, arrows and swords and ready to make a midnight stand agianst whatever I might find.
On the way back, game days later, all my boats were gone and I was on the last island before my house. I could see my light-house-keep and all I had to do was survive one more night and swim home. I was down to an axe, a hoe and a bread. I fought off the zombies until the sun came up.
I made a break for it and dove in just as the sun started to torch a skeleton on the beach in front of my back door. The cursed thing caught sight of me and jumped in the water to get me . . . and the holy fire went out. I screamed, "What have I done!" And mashed the 'w' and 'spacebar' all the way around to my main door.
I love this game.

I still haven't built any buildings yet. I've been busy mining enough rock and stuff for later. Shame when the update comes out I'll have to start new to get whatever new features he throws in. (Probably)
Found some Diamond ore blocks and immediately after a Redstone block. Just need to make an Iron axe to mine them with.

I believe there's a translate or country dropdown that will swap the page to English.

Whenever that happens, it's notch's fault, not mine.
By golly, I hope you're right!Tryckser said:
I agree that it is a logical way to implement the snow biome, buuut then you run into the problem of seeing snow way high above you when there's no ground for it to fall on, so it just... melts before it reaches you? HMMM. It would have to ONLY trigger if there's actually a place for the snow to fall.
It would be funny to build a few really tall pillars and see only a few columns of snow falling.
(Expecting realistic weather simulations in this game is a bit much, I know. I suspect you will only actually "see" the snow falling if you are on a tile that is in the snow biome.)

You're so clever.
Of course I know this is how rain works, but we're talkin' 'bout miinecraaaft (i just wanted an excuse to listen to this song again - it's pretty good!)
oh wow, i know how weather works in real life, dumbass U:Pandaman said:
For the heck of it I went into the cave that I died in while exploring, put the difficulty on Peaceful, quickly gathered around 200 torches, and went crazy. The speed in which I was covering ground was pretty much the speed of walking in a straight line.
Ran out of torches. I was already lost for a good while at this point so I just dug straight up (break the block above, jump and put a block underneath), gathered 300 more torches.
Ran out of the goddamn torches. There's still about a billion split paths that I ignored and I haven't hit a dead end that required me to go back more than the last split. I must have seen about 30 diamonds at this point and enough gold to make a house out of the condensed block (tons of redstone too). Before this point the caves I explored never had anything other than iron (lava included), so I was freaking out here.
Seriously it's no wonder I died there. My pride is left intact.
So, yeah, eyeopener. I'm not seeing this game again until the update.

Every time I see the sunrise I expect the Zelda "Hyrule Field" theme to start from Ocarina of Time. :lol
I kinda wish it would.
Also, for some reason, the piano music in this game makes me think of Eternal Sunshine's soundtrack. And gives me the same emotions. I love this game.

So, my pyramid of fire and water was coming along nice. Then I flooded it with lava by breaking the wrong glass brick. . Great googly moogly. :lol

Maybe I'm just getting older, but this game is making me hate sandbox style games. The other night I played from 4-9, and a little after 9, while surveying the land around me from the tallest tower of my castle I thought, "I just spent 5 hours digging holes and chopping down trees to build all this. Was it even fun? What the hell did I do it for?"
I just felt like I was wasting time. Now, granted, it's a lot of fun going down in the deep natural caverns and finding monster spawns and shit (I found two a couple hundred meters from each other!), but doing all the prep work so I can go out and adventure is just blah. And then when I'm all done adventuring what do I have to show for it? The chance to do it again?
I don't know, I so want to love this game because it's just so well made and has a really interesting premise, but I need some sort of goal to reach, a story to be told, a conclusion.
(Seriously, I'm struggling to figure out how I don't love a game where I get to punch cows for clothes.)
