That would be bad-ass. Just, you know, make sure it doesn't look like booty-bay II, you know?
Yep. That kind of walls is what I was thinking about, as well. I think I will have to practice with pistons and redstone soon....vas_a_morir said:
Didn't notch say a long time ago that he wanted to make lanterns that would work like current torches, and have torches be an item you can carry around to illuminate your surroundings? Maybe that item goes to your left hand (right in the picture) so that you can use stuff with your right hand like always.Maxrpg said:

Holy crap, I was visiting the server just to admire people's stuff, and the scale of that pyramid is ridiculous. That's an incredible feat of patience AND looks really nice. You guys build all the stuff on Neocraft by hand, right?
Yup. Everything there has been built by hand.fredrancour said:
IMO, the must-see buildings are:
The Pyramid near the Spawn
The Mosque (being built now) in Al-Medina
Bootybay (as a whole, a very nice place to take a walk around)
Al-Medina (same as above)
Moria (same as above)
Then there's the huge skull a couple guys built in the entrance of a tunnel, on the side of a mountain, but forgot where it is.
And for some minor buildings:
The floating island right above spawn (I built it, lol)
The library in Al-Medina
The Hill Network (all the buildings on the hill in front of spawn after crossing the first building)
The East Towers or whatever the name was. A bunch of tall towers a couple guys built behind the Hill Network.
The fortress Ark made. It's connected to Spawn with a long rail system. You have to cross the first building on Spawn (the hotel with the rooms on the second floor) and then go South (right side) until you see the station. Then just follow the rails or use a cart and go there fast.
This cracked me up!

I like his voice
edit: 1.8 should be good. Lets just hope there are more items and more loot. Without this I still wouldn't have a good reason to explore (hate to mention this again, but Terraria does this well. It has lots of items that make exploration fun and rewarding). Don't disappoint notch! If this doesn't work out, I'm over the game for good.
what.the.fuck.!
I just saw NeoCraft's sewer (minecart is a must) and.. holy crap. How long did it take you guys (who made this??)?. Even going through it with a cart takes a few minutes, I can't imagine how long it took to build it...
Also, is it finished? The last stop feels too abrupt, so I guess it's still a work in progress.

I'm really interested in the direction that Notch is going with the Adventure update, from what we've heard so far, but I really hope he/they stick to the foundation of user-generated content and somehow make it blend really seamless together.
Fx, many of you guys are building wonderful environments. Imagine to have tools to make these environments more "alive", being to place NPC's, monsters, missions/quests etc.
Now imagine being able to "upload" this area to MineCloud, and when you start a new world yourself, the randomly generated world can access MineCloud to pull in various user-built areas, such as cities, dungeons and so forth.
With enough user-generated content, that will constantly expand and evolve, the procedurally generated game world will become even more interesting, varied and immersive.

But yeah, what you say would be amazing. Imagine having people submitting certain buildings, then having them show up as ruins (with cobblestone blocks swapped with moss cobblestone blocks, missing some walls, with dirt around and trees growing, etc..). Then have a rating system where people can vote buildings and they will be more prone to show up in maps. Or you being able to "order" buildings for your environment that show up in random places, as ruins or the original buildings.
I think it could be great, but the only thing I don't want are NPC buildings for multiplayer. They would most likely get in the way

I don't see that they would - a lot of the places on the server are ghost towns, it'd be great to warp there and see NPC's going about routines and using the buildings etc.
Personally the way I've always envisioned it is that there should be natural NPC villages in the wilderness that you can discover, but if you construct a building in your own settlement that meets a specific purpose (i.e, a bakery) and has all the tools and items necessary for that purpose, then you can 'open' the building and allow an NPC to move it. Then you can trade for their services and maybe take on simple fetch quests for them.
I just think it would be really gratifying to create a settlement and then see it come to life with activity, rather than become a ghost town when all the builders move on to something else.
That's kinda how Terraria works, right? I don't have the game though, so I dunno. I wonder if Notch would actually add something that another game (originally "copying" Minecraft nevertheless!) did first.Bootaaay said:
Anyway, it would be pretty cool. But before that, Notch needs to add LOTS of new items and stuff to collect. I'm more interested in that.

Great idea with a rating system!
But in any case, there should be an option to use or not use user-created content.

Um, what....sewers? Where on the server is it? Who made it? What...sewers?
I think I need to take a night or two and just tour the server again, I've never heard of a sewer project on Neocraft and this irritates me, LOL!

I'm at work now so I can't go in game at the moment, but from looking at the dropbox map, are the sewers that real freakin long underground tunnel running N-S in the NW corner of the map that seems to start at a blue building of some kind on the surface, go underwater for a bit, then rise way up and then dive down all the way to the bottom and runs there for hundreds of blocks?
If so, then cool. Either way, I'm doing some exploring when I get home tonight. So many things on the server that I still haven't seen, it's almost mind boggling. One could play Minecraft without actually building or mining anything, but just spend all of thier time sightseeing other people's creations...

*edit, for good measure, here it is again - quote to see the address;

I've been having some terrible lag spikes ever since 1.6. Locks up the game for half a second every few seconds, both on singleplayer and multiplayer, self hosted or otherwise. Makes it completely unplayable for me. Had some hope it would be stomped in 1.7, but no luck.
Something about a change in 1.6 causing the game to save chunks every two seconds, but I only have it on my PC which is a fair beast, while I'm reduced to playing it on a laptop for my fix, and that thing's pretty pathetic but runs the game smooth as silk.
Looked up the official forums and there's a fair chunk of the posters there suffering from it too, but I haven't seen it mentioned here.

What the hell?
I was gonna say that I don't play in fullscreen mode, since I like to have a series I'm catching up on running in the background while I carve out a mountain or something. But I tried putting it into fullscreen with F11 and the problem is fucking gone.
I'm gonna have to find some audiobooks to keep me from lapsing into catatonia now, but I can play again.
Ranger X for president. Thanks man.

So, I really want to build a good drawbridge for my castle town with pistons, but I'm having trouble planning. The problem is, instead of making a bridge that's two blocks wide, which is easy to build and hide, I want one that's 6 wide. Maybe 4 if 6 is impossible. Anyone have any good ideas?
Man. I just started playing Minecraft (yes, I feel like I've never been more late to the party) and, man, I had no idea spiders could CLIMB WALLS.
Second night, I was crafting, when suddeny A SPIDER IN MY HOUSE. Honorable way to die, though. Stressful making it back to my house after having died, though, during the night!

Honestly, combat in Minecraft is terrible. I cannot get a hit in without getting hit myself due to lag. You got a skeleton, and are like "STAB STAB STAB STAB *Ommph* STAB STAB *KLICK*"
It's always a 1 to 1 trade-off. They need to nerf monsters. One spider can take off half of your health.

This. It'd be fine if there were fewer mobs to deal with at a time, but considering they appear in groups a little nerfing would be nice. Or a shield.

I find I have more success attacking enemies on the server if I hold down shift while I'm attacking as you don't move back as much when hit by the enemy. This often lets me kill anything (except pain in the ass skeletons) with only taking a single hit of damage, or sometimes none at all.

Yeah, I agree and I'm glad it's one of the big things coming in 1.8. I seem to remember him saying somewhere (for the life of me I can't remember) how he thought arrows should work. It would be like, if you really quickly clicked, your aim would be poor and you'd do less damage, but if you held the button, you could line up the shot better, improving aim and damage. That would be so awesome.
We need more different monsters. Not buff. We need different monsters that need different tactics and only show in certain areas. Right now we have:ZZMitch said:
-Zombies /melee attack/
-Skeletons (archer) /distance attack/
-Creepers /melee attack/ (sorta)
-Spiders /melee attack/
What about adding things like
-Bats: Limited to caves. Melee attack takes half heart and only attacks in the dark (put a torch and you're safe, but you can still kill it for the drop)
-Dragons (Fire, Water, Earth, metallic, black, etc...): Limited to their own environments for spawn (Fire=Lava, Water=Ocean or water pools, etc...), have their own chest that you can open at any time but the dragon will probably destroy you if you try to open it before killing him.
-Golems (same as dragons): Maybe have them drop some special items plus tons of blocks of the material they were made of (cobblestone, dirt, gold, etc..).
Dunno, there are so many things to add, I would spend all day here. I don't think we need to buff the current monsters, but definitely add some stronger ones (and some weaker ones too).
