After this update I was surprised to hear some music when the sun came up! It's nice, fits the game quite well. Beats just listening to the cows anyway

I don't get the minecart to work! It only runs in the opposit direction
edit: huh? another update?
edit: huh? another update?
Great update. Flint Arrows + Chickens means bow & arrow is finally fully viable. Powered minecarts makes minecarts actually viable/practical. And music is just happy icing.
For next Friday, I'm (still) guessing on cloth dyes. I also bet a sea mob (shark) will be added, since Notch specifically mentioned them a while back. Lastly I think crafting recipes for milk and eggs will be introduced.

It is starting to look ridiculous. But I just can't stop. U:
Also holy shit that grass is taking forever to make it up the stairs. I might leave it on overnight, see what happens. D:
EDIT: Also, it's not easy to tell because of the angle, but that line from left to right is actually in the exact MIDDLE of the circle. It's pretty big. 80x80.
Made me think of the man-made islands in Dubai and whatever
FINISHED! (WITH PART TWO!)
Part one was the staircase (which, thanks to some inspiration from friends, I am now affectionately calling the Spermcase).
Part two is this mother bitch:
I like the shadow. O:
I think I am going to take a break from building for a while and go exploring some more.

That looks really cool Twig. I should try to do something with dirt, got so many full stacks of it sat in storage.

Twig: That looks really cool -- the shadow is super awesome. How come you switched your tileset back?
Can't wait to play this update -- I have a bunch of stacks of iron set aside to make minecart tracks just for this purpose. I can't wait to see the awesome rail networks that people build in multiplayer.
Arrows being more viable is welcome, too. And those chickens might be my favorite animal yet.

Interesting... have they figured out how to make records yet?Razorskin said:

Just put the source block at the top of where you want the spout shooting to, possibly with a single block beneath it to give the fall some width?
Hmm, I'm having trouble getting a powered minecarts to push me. Maybe it's not possible? When I put a regular minecart down and put a powered one behind it, it just goes in the opposite direction. I also tried connecting carts in some way, but at least with iron, it doesn't work.
Also, I killed a creeper and found this black and green thing. Is this a record? I don't have any diamonds so I can't make a record player to find out.

I think I read on the blog you want more than one powered cart to move you.

but still in the wrong direction? How can I make it so that it pushes me in the other cart?Dragmire said:

Alright, here are my creations in my survival mode so far. A few large water features, a 4 story base, a basement where the tallest water fountain drains, a doorway to hell and a tunnel to the nearby island. I love this game.
I had to put a regular minecart down, then a powered one behind it. Then I stood on the powered cart, inserted coal and jumped into the regular minecart. I think you have to insert coal while facing the direction you want it to go.Caesar III said:but still in the wrong direction? How can I make it so that it pushes me in the other cart?
When multiplayer is added, are we going to be able to join one another's worlds that exist already or simply start brand new ones and have to start from scratch? 'Cause I'm building something that I highly doubt I'd want to make again, but would be excellent for multiplayer (ie. inviting friends in and such).
I'm basically creating a giant dungeon / maze that is going to be pitch black and is far underground. There will be multiple floors, I assume plenty of mobs to fight, and a chest full of treasure at the end of the complex, given people are able to survive. I suppose I could always let people log in on my computer and try to run through it, but it's simply not as fun that way.
If nothing else, it'll give me something to do when I'm tired of mining, farming, building, etc.

Whoa, using Minecraft as a dungeon builder, that's a great idea. I wonder if you could make interesting traps with the pressure plates and redstone and stuff.
If it is a separate hosted server, we totally have to build various community arenas for competitions. Gladiator combat, mob run dungeons, boat races, shooting galleries...

Well, the only way I'd be willing to do something like this again would be if I could share the load with others. Each floor of this thing is square and 500 blocks across. I'd like to have ten floors. So far, just while working on the thing, I've been attacked a number of times by zombies and skeletons. Haven't seen any slimes yet though - I'm hoping they'll show up in the thing as well.
Seriously, this is taking forever. I've barely even built a thing on the surface. So yeah, having lots of people to help construct such things would be awesome.

Building I'm pretty much done with for the moment. Kind of looks like a jail to me. :lol Not the prettiest building (looks better with the water moving I swear) but I still like it.
Entrance is a ladder on the center pillar. Enemies don't seem to be able to get past the waterfalls, just sit at the bottom. (I've seen enemies climb waterfalls but they don't seem to notice me at the top here). There is a big dirt wall around it I need to knock down, figure I'll do that later.
View from the tower looking behind the building, think I want to build a powered mine cart rail going through this area (toward the original spawn point).

Probably not officially, but if the map format for multiplayer is similar enough, someone will probably write a tool that'll convert single-player maps to the new format. I think Notch has discussed completely breaking map compatibility at some point though, so it's hard to say.Vinci said:
Your dungeon idea sounds like fun. I think he's considering something similar for the third game mode (in addition to creative and survival) where blocks are largely indestructable and it plays more like a traditional action-adventure with locks/keys, magic spells, and other traditional fantasy tropes, and we'll be able to use creative or survival mode to construct the challenges.

Oh crap, creepers have somehow breached my defenses. I must not have torches somewhere I should. Or else they blew a hole in something while I was underground. Really wishing I had a bow and arrow with me so I could take them out from a distance. This could end badly.
EDIT: Got by the creepers with more damage to my stairs than to me, but then the sun came up and I have a new problem:
My moat is keeping undead alive during the day time??!
