MY GOD (in this pic you don't see the 5 zombies, 2 skeletons and 3 spiders that were chasing me. I died about ~1 second after I took this.

Since we're on a new page, and this thread's probably going to be moving fast, I'll say it again: To make a watch:
use the compass recipe, but substitue gold bars for the iron ones

Confirmed. Same for me.


Edit - From Notch twitter:
# I need to go sleep now. I will migrate the server ASAP, and fix the inventory/death bug. less than 20 seconds ago via web

# There are a couple of bugs, of course. I've updated both the client and the server to fix two big ones. 2 minutes ago via web

You have two choices, I would say. Build scaffolding around what you're building/want to build. Meaning, a framework structure that lets you get up high enough and doesn't get in the way of you building a bridge or sky way or whatever.

The other, and this is actually the time consuming method I employed because I got frustrated by night time making me retreat for the night, is to start your bridge or skyway from the desired level and just creep out on the edge of your in progress bridge, just enough to be able to extend it by one row of blocks but without falling off. I fell off a couple times this way, but I was able to work through the night.

I guess the MOST efficient way would be to finish your scaffolding in a day in a manner that would allow you to work through the night, but I figured if I went down that avenue personally, with my extreme minecraft OCD, that I'd never get anything else done ever.

You know you can crouch so you can't fall from something right? If I get what you mean.

I am going to be honest here and say that I have been always playing on peaceful difficulty.

I am going to start to play on a difficulty where there are enemies now that the update has hit.

What is the difference between easy, normal and hard and what is the default one?

Also is there anything I should really know about the monsters because I don't know much about them apart from one explodes.

I feel ashamed to have been playing it on peaceful but now I want to become a man! :p

So all you can make with the gold dust is a funky glowing block?

Also, where do you find pumpkins?

Also, I did a test and built a portal in Nether next to another portal and both take you back to the same one. So I assume it's chunk based. All portals inside a chunk will take you to the same portal in the real world. I guess.

Zombies are cool. Skeletons, Spiders, Exploding things, Hellpigs and Ghasts will rip you a new one.

People complained that "Minecraf is easy bla bla bla", Notch heard them.

OMG, you can punch the fireballs that the Ghasts throw on you and make the projectiles hit them in return.

Holy shit. I don't know why I thought that if I made a second portal in hell that I would emerge in a happy place... Or anywhere near the surface for that matter, my exit portal dumped me right ontop of a skeleton spawner in a dungeon :lol.

On a very related note, your items vanish when you die now?

Well its been used to stockpile goods outside of treasure chests. But no idea whether there is a "real" use for it now. Does anyone know what to do with fish? Or better HOW to do it?

FYI - for those complaining of monsters spawning during the day and in caves with torches and such, I started a new world and haven't seen any enemies in the daytime or in my cave that is lit. In my other cave that is unlit, there are creatures.

Might be a bug with existing worlds.

What did the second update do? Fix some bugs?
Click to expand...
Yeah, an inventory/death bug. If you died you would lose all your stuff, it wouldn't stay on the ground for a period of time, it just disappeared. He fixed it because that's a game breaker.

I rolled a new world and was killed by a daytime creeper the first day.

Edit: Sunset had JUST started when the creeper killed me. Maybe enemies spawn a little earlier? Before it is fully dark?

Wow, biomes was my most anticipated thing, second only to SMP health (which didn't happen), and sure it doesn't disappoint! The landscape I just generated is BEAUTIFUL.

Now it's closed night and my hut has been built. Too bad I don't really want to mine. I just want to explore the landscape!

I saw zombies spawn at sunset, so it must be as soon as the sun starts going below the horizon, or they spawned in a cave? Not sure, but I haven't seen any during broad daylight and nothing in my torchlit cave.

Ghasts' fireballs will kill your portal. Not the obsidian outline, but you will have to relight it with flint and steel.

On the other hand, Ghast volleyball is fun!

Yup. server finally crashed. Expected to happen. Just play offline I guess. (Hoping you already have the correct files)

Came out of my cave and look at THIS!

Not sure if the enemy spawning is bugged or not, but you're a dead man if you walk on the surface after dark now...

I had to re-download the entire .exe and of course right when I do, the server goes down. So since I haven't technically logged in once yet, I can't play offline.

Jawesome.

For those having problems connecting just keep trying, It eventually goes through.

I disconnected to get the bug fix. I just connected like 2 minutes ago.

You could always open multiple copies of the game and continuously try to log in with all of them. I just did and it worked. :lol

I think I'm going to leave hell for a while until some of the issues are either fixed or there is a reason to visit. It kind of sucks having mobs spawn all around you. Plus, until the uses for the block types become apparent, there isn't really any point yet.

Pretty cool for a visit.
