As long as health and tracks in SMP work I'm so happy.

Update now due saturday. Crouching (and not falling off as a result) would be amazing!

Seecret Saturday update!? Also, tutorials.
I need rest! (technically food and beer) Ill finish the update tomorrow instead.
Ill add crouching, which will prevent you from walking over an edge, to make up for the late release.
I had an interesting idea on how to teach people the crafting in Minecraft. The first thing thats needed in any case is something that tells the player to press I to access the inventory. Once that is up, there could be a small recipy icon in the upper right corner. Pressing that opens up a tech tree with everything except wood planks grayed out into mysterious question marks. Hovering the wood planks shows the recipy (tree trunk -> wood planks!), and if the player completes that recipy he unlocks the next recipes in the tech tree thing. The recipes link into each other in somewhat logical ways, and can be non-crafting things like showing that a better pickaxe is requires to get ore, or that ore in a furnace produces ingots.
Note that you dont actually HAVE to unlock anything in the tech tree to be able to craft those things, its just meant as a way to show people what can be made, and add some kind of exploration to it.
Once we have achievements, one of them can be for completing the entire crafting tech tree.
Yeah, even more when you take into account that the Alpha plays nothing like the free thing.Vinci said:
Edit1: Saturday update is a bummer. Glad it will be feature filled -or at least, that's what I want to believe-.
Edit2: When you set Redstone dust on the ground? Can you pick it up again?

One thing I'd really like to see is spawnpoint markers. I love wandering and adventuring and building crazy shit, but being able to build or move a spawnpoint would be invaluable.
Also, and I dont even know if this is possible, I'd love to see the ability to use stuff like the miencarts and boats as a base for construction. So one could, hypothetically, build off a 'boat' to create a bigger boat.
Basically I want a pirate ship.

Yup, just whack the top layer on the block - the redstone dust one.

On this point, I wanted to make a factory for obsidian that would utilize lever-activated doors to control different elements of it... only to find this exact problem. So yes, floodgates would be nice.

Suddenly, creating my ridiculous bridge became a whole lot less messy.

As long as it allows you to place blocks over the edge then it would be incredibly useful.Meatpuppet said:
That percentage is actually more than double what it was a couple months ago, and that's on top of how the number of total accounts has gone up by an order of magnitude. It's doing amazingly well and only continues to pick up steam.Drewsky said:
Stuff like that is, uh, decidedly not a one-minute fix. :lolPhilthy said:

I tried the 3D mode out yesterday, suprisingly worked much better than I thought it would
Vlad said:
No, no. I made a large pool of lava and had chutes located at regular intervals above it. And I had a lever system connected to doors that were meant to allow water flow whenever I opened those doors and then would close (or leave on, depending on where I was cutting the obsidian at).
Logistically, it should have worked, but the door system doesn't allow for water flow.
His idea for recipe discovery & a tech tree is the exact thing I suggested on his Google Moderator where he asked players to submit game ideas. This was my suggestion:
"Have an in-game crafting recipe book, showing the formulas to craft objects. Possibly force players to "discover" the formulas for new objects somehow & track which ones they've learned, rather than reveal them all from the start."
I don't think Notch read it, but I'm going to go ahead and take credit anyway.

Also, Notch has hinted that obsidian might end up having very special benefits later on, so I'd like to find a method for creating it reliably. One of my worlds is purely built based on sustainability - what can I make, what can I not.
Obviously most structures are made out of wood on that world.
Well, maybe I'll look into farming obsidian in the future.
On a related note, this game never ceases to amaze me. I mean, it's like there's no possible end to it. This afternoom I was exploring dungeons, getting lots of redstone and even gold and suddenly, I run out of torches and sticks and so I go back to get some more. I start managing my things I suddenly I think: Hey, let's explore a bit the overworld, it's been a long time since last.
So, after exploring for a while I find crops, I plant crops nearby my house. While planting them, I think how cool it'd be to sail the world with a boat, so I create a kind of dock. I can't make proper doors, so I let it open. I make a boat and then I realise I can't sail the world with my boat because it's a damn lake I live nearby. So I plan on creating a kind of channel. I pick up some TNT and blow my way through . Only it's not enough and I now need more powder, so I go back home thinking it will take me more time than I thought. I go to the docks just to tell my little boat to be patient. She's not, she's gone abroad without me :lol Damn, I want me some flood gate!
And this is the story of how I'll probably go back to the mines to exploring and killing and getting more redstone and maybe diamond (I already have a disc player, yeah!). But who knows, because maybe I turn it on and I begin building a statue or else!

As others have pointed out, that percentage has been climbing, plus those 75% have either stopped playing or are presumably playing the (fun for some people like me) free creative version. And it's now exactly at 5900 people in the last 24 hours, probably from the Penny Arcade bump.Drewsky said:
What's sad is I have basically not played it all in a month or so, but I still love reading about it. Now that he's adding MOUSE SENSITIVITY and CROUCHING, a couple of features that people have been wanting, maybe I'll finally dive back in for a few
My only hope is that he makes the crouching go far enough that you can still see over the edge to plant blocks. I wonder if it will make your actual height any lower? It shouldn't make a difference anywhere but I still wonder if it could result in odd HL2-esque crouch jumping or something like that.

Can you grow an underwater forest?WEGGLES said:

Funny that you would say that, I am trying to fix that as we speak. I don't see what reason whatsoever could prevent to use the old flowing water. It's just a bunch of pngs !
My ideal skin would be doku rpg + animated lava and water + animated fire sprite + old ore (I'm too used to the regular iron and gold :lol)

I haven't played but I watched some of the tutorials on youtube, looks fun.
I think what would be cool is online (no PVP), and the addition of wives. Wives could make leather clothes, food, etc., for you if you bring them food.
Then everyone comes together, starts farming to generate more wheat for everyone, major mine excavations to turn all that wheat into a lot of bread thanks to the construction of windmills or watermills. Soon wives give birth, and kids eventually grow up and become NPCs, and then it's war against an army of skeletons coming from Mount Doom! :lol
