That reminds me, I want to make a "Secret Underground mountain forest" in multiplayer. Go a good bit away from spawn, until I make it to a 3rd mountain, then dig a small hole in it, make a nice clearing, and get put some well hidden pieces of glass in the celling.K2Valor said:
All those trees are unrealistic in an actual game.
Plus, a lot of the blocks he is using can't be had in Survival yet. No dyes for wool blocks yet.
The city of Gaf will having buildings of solid gold though. No other good use of the stuff other then making golden apples.
Yes, but you also need something to burn it with. Coal is by far the best, burning for quite a while, but you can use Wood Sticks, planks, and Bricks for fuel too if you are desperate.

I have no idea why that image is listing all of those folders.
On Vista and Windows 7, at least, your Minecraft folder should be located here: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
Otherwise the rest of the image is accurate. Basically just download a skin and paste/drag it into the minecraft.jar in the appropriate folder using Winrar or similar program.
For what it's worth, I'm looking forward to the GAF server, but I am really curious how we're going to be able to put our own unique stamps on things without stepping on one another's toes. Perhaps we should spend some time in this thread developing a formula for how we're going to make it work. For example, should we vote on the sort of building we should next create within a certain area and have everyone collaborate on that building - or create a street and give lots to each builder to build upon as they like, collaborating as they please?
I think our perceptions as Minecraft players would need to shift within a multiplayer context - from being completely isolated within our own creative thoughts and processes to something very communal in mind, where it's not about people looking around and seeing your efforts but rather seeing the result of the GAF community's combined work.
I don't know, just throwing shit out there. Seeing what sticks.

I want the full version of this game. I gotta go buy a stupid gift card.
Does anyone have a tip for building sky bridges? I'm having trouble edging out to extend it, I always fall to my death.
To be clear, by sky bridge I mean something to this effect
O <-- me

For stuff I like that I just edge out backwards until I can see a sliver of the side of the block I want to stick another to.
..........O right here I can just barely see the right edge of the block, so I can place another.

It takes some getting used to, but can be used fairly reliably.
It's a lot easier if you do something at least three blocks wide, though, then you can look sideways from one side to the other and place a block on the far side. Four blocks would be even safer, and then you could slim them down to one if you liked

Pretty much this. I built a sky bridge with waterfalls going down the side of the entire thing, which is forever long. I did the entire thing by just inching to the edge, eventually you get very good at it and it moves pretty quickly.

The water has to be 2 blocks deep, and it'll protect you from any fall.

I was standing on the bedrock and digging around above me and I popped open a lava tube. :lol I ended up trapped and couldn't get out before being overrun. Thankfully I was able to respawn and cap it off then get my stuff but that was a pretty scary moment. protip, don't dig above you when you're super deep.
Ok, just died on my map from falling 30 blocks. And after doing so, walked back to the point I died at. Took a solid 30 minutes of walking to get back.
This is what I died on. After I made a ladder going to the top of it, I was about to try and make a bridge connecting it to the mountains behind it, fell and died.
Here is my current map:
Heh, didn't even realized I turned.
While you may of taken my life once giant pillar, I have still conquered you. So let me celebrate the farthest point along my map I have gotten:

Ah, there is a version that runs in Java. Its not as feature rich or stable, but should do the trick for a mac.

Just save it some place, like the desktop, run it, and it will spit out a basic map. It will take a few minutes though.

Alright, the hype got me. Just bought this game. I will be "Borsalino".

I build scaffolding. Using earth or stone, whichever I have the most of, I build a pillar of similar height by jumping straight up and dropping a block beneath me. Then I build five or six sections of the bridge, destroy my pillar, then build another one.
Personally I spend less time that way because I don't fall off and have to run back to the bridge endpoint.
I find myself building scaffolding for lots of stuff, though.

looks cool, I would hollow out some more space around that tree though, when it grows it's going to fill that shaft completely.
everyones' projects are looking awesome, how come you're not pimping that blog you made anymore GDJustin? I thought it was a good idea to keep track of everything..
thefil said:
Earlier in the thread I posted my technique for it that has worked well for me and it sounded like a lot of others did the same thing. I spent a paragraph trying to describe it but then someone brilliantly said it was like parallel parking: zig-zag your way towards the edge instead of heading at it straight on.

oh wow, I just figured out how to craft way faster. Usually when crafting I would drag each item/group of items into my inventory, 1 or 4 items at a time. Turns out that you can keep left-clicking, and it will group up more items, until you get to 64. All this time I was doing it a really slow way :lol
K2Valor said:
That's an awesome way to do it. (starting from above and digging straight down). I was going to do the same from inside the mountain horizontally but gave up before even trying it due to what would be annoying "punch throughs" of the side.

First mini hut. Made it after several nights - I must be lucky because I built it on an island in the middle of the ice lake!
Now all you need is a big storage box to go in the middle of those!

Yeah, on my level I walked straight in one direction for the whole day and night and didn't find a single papyrus, pain in the ass - think i'm going to have to roll a non-ice level.
I added the saturated texture pack to Minecraft.. it is amazing, but I am getting some weird artifacting or something on weapons and items I am carrying (but not on blocks I am carrying).
Anyone else have this issue?
I will post a picture later, but I am not by my computer atm

Wait...if you change your skin, does it carry over into the MP? I would think that the MP would still just use everyone's local resources.Razorskin said:Survival Multiplayer release tomorrow confirmed!
