It would appear someone decided to grief my house. Lol.[/QUOTE]
Someone had griefed around Castleton as well. :/

Not only does it take me forever to find diamonds and decent materials in this game, I always end up falling into a pit of lava once I actually gather some nice stuff.

I hate this fucking game.

Hold shift to crouch a look over ledges, always carry a bucket of water and when you get some good stuff go back to the surface.

Or play on the NeoCraft server and you can warp back to safety quickly =P or even install mods in single player you can save yourself from burning.

 

[BackwardsSuggestions]

Downloaded the game on my Xperia Play and it actually plays pretty damn well.

 

[Professor Beef]

I think I'm going to try and jump back into the server. Check that inbox Ark, I'm sending you a PM!

 

[celebi23]

So, when is 1.8 being shown off? Tomorrow? I just hope I don't lose power

 

[bengraven]

Yes, tomorrow.

Downloaded the game on my Xperia Play and it actually plays pretty damn well.

Curious: was it free?

 

[Professor Beef]

Made my first real progress today, despite a hilariously bad setback. Thanks to everyone who helped!

Glad we could help!

I saw you moving all over the place like a flyin' wallinda, dawg.

If I can't find diamond in my next excavation, then I'm just going to start construction on a treehouse.

Hey anyone on ark's server have stacks of gunpowder they don't want/need for trade?....oh man I need so much tnt.

Check the chest (free stuff) in Al-medina in front of my (T51b) house, next to the awesome duck statue.
I had some... dunno if someone has taken it.

 

[Lazlo Woodbine]

Isn't it just lovely ( '٢‎ ' )

Looks like a Damien Hirst nightmare... 0_0

I have quite a load. I could gather it and give it to you.
Also, use the mob grinder at spawn to raise some powder.

 

[Mikor]

I use to use it on my/my coworker's server. It worked fine until 1.3? Broke after that and at the time the modder was not updating it I believe. So it did work in the past.

If you're referring to Dynmap when talking about what worked fine until 1.3, if you go to the website referenced in my previous posting you can see an example of Dynmap working without any real issues on Bukkit RB #1060.

Yep, just stand under the thing and go read the forums and eventually you can have a lot.

 

[Venfayth]

A trick if you only want to gather one type of item from a mob grinder:

Fill up your inventory with stacks of one of whatever you want to collect. All the other items you care not for will fall to the ground.

HOWEVER - it's probably more generous to collect the other items and put them in the appropriate community storehouse (if you guys have one, I'm assuming you do )

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Notch is playing 1.8 here http://www.twitch.tv/realnotch?#

It's from a phone so the quality isn't great.

Edit: So far it looks like the default textures are improved and it has a new opening menu.

 

[BakugekiNZ]

Holy crap he just showed an ocean... was giant, went on forever :/
Also a randomly generated dungeon - an abandoned mineshaft with little bits of track still there!
EDIT: lighting engine is greatly improved!!

 

[Xun]

This looks superb.

Will 1.8 have a creative mode? The stream is constantly cutting out.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

The new lighting system looks beautiful. Also huge ocean with floating island!

 

[BakugekiNZ]

It really looks like he is playing creative mode?
EDIT: wow villages look gooooooooood

 

[Vlad]

Yeah, he wasn't kidding about it updating faster. He was just quickly cycling between day/night/day and the game didn't skip a beat.

 

[Mengy]

DAMNIT. I'm at work and can't watch the stream. People, post any details or pics you can, lol!!!

Sounds interesting so far from what I've read.

 

[Leunam]

Same situation here. YOU GUYS ARE KILLING ME.

 

[Xun]

The quality isn't great at all so you wouldn't see much.

 

[Jasoco]

The stream is crappy. Cell phone? Why isn't someone recording it professionally? Oh well, I'll wait for when all the gaming blogs are updated tonight with all the juicy information. For now I have to go to work.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

If you're in luck it will get archived so you can watch later. Meanwhile sprint is in, the bow and eating have some nice new animations.

Is motion blur being added or is it just the crummy video quality?

I'm thinking video quality.

 

[Mengy]

Whoa, I just read this on Reddit:

The most impressive thing I've seen so far is the lighting system seems to have been completely redone. Torches in hand now emit light, and there are all kinds of fantastic effects. It's really quite impressive.

If that's true, then he has coded in mobile light sources now, which would be cool as all hell.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Well, Endermen are freaky buggers.

 

[WillyFive]

The new environments are awesome. They look amazing.

 

[Glasswork]

Notch makes the most adorable omnomnomnom sound.

 

[Jasoco]

The stream will be archived. But it's the worst quality so it's not even worth it. Someone else there probably has a better camera recording and will put that up on a gaming site by tonight.

 

[WillyFive]

But it's the worst quality so it's not even worth it.

That's part of the magic. The imagination fills the rest.

 

[Jasoco]

My imagination has been dead for years. I need solid clear pictures to tell me what it looks like. So I'll wait for the inevitable screenshots and videos that will await me after work at 10:30 tonight.

 

[Toma]

When was that update supposed to hit? On release day?

 

[Houston3000]

Whoa, I just read this on Reddit:

FWIW, there's a mod out there that adds dynamic lighting, carrying any item that emits light when placed also emits light dynamically when carried - including torches, glow blocks, etc. You can even throw the torches and they light up the area as they travel and land. Burning mobs walking around as well. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/184426-v173-dynamic-lights-in-aether-too/

I didn't see the video are there real dynamic shadows now?

 

[bengraven]

Love the Ocarina of Time like menu screen.

 

[superbank]

He took my advice (sure) by changing the bow to a charging weapon! Smart move. Seen at 5:00.

edit: The video quality isn't that bad btw. It's very watchable.

 

[parasight]

Torches in hand don't emit light, from what I saw on the stream.

 

[ZZMitch]

I missed a 1.8 live stream! NoooOOOoo

You can still watch the recorded version on his twitch channel.

Is it up now?

 

[bengraven]

Villages are awesome. Hopefully Jens gets his way and you can talk to NPCs. Even if it's just like 500 catchphrases that they randomly say.

Bows look awesome.

Biomes look AWESOME, the game looks SO much more natural now. When he is in that river that rests between a desert and hilly lands looks very savannahish.

Oceans are HUUUUUGE.

 

[Jasoco]

Did they say anything about being able to relocate NPC's? Like if you tear down their house, can you have them move into one you built? Can you even tear down their houses? Will they try to stop you?

 

[superbank]

Is it up now?

Yeah I've been watching it for about 20 minutes now. Its called "LIVE from my Android phone".

I really like the look of the small islands it's generating. Just a small 20 or 40 block across island with one tree. The oceans are vast. Notch also talks about implementing larger vehicles so hopefully I'll get my dream of a proper survival island scenario. You start off on a small island and use the scarce resources you have to eventually build a proper boat and sail away.

 

[bengraven]

33:00 - the desert is huge and the river looks awesome right next to the mountains




i seriously might not play MC until the update...it's going to be so different
