Fucking spiders. Everyone bitches about creepers, but I think I've been killed by spiders more times than I have anything else, mostly due to the knockback. Found an amazing series of caves in my map, decided to mine around hoping for some diamonds, and found yet another huge cave. At least I was smart enough to run all the way back to my entrance to deposit all my valuable items I collected before going on, as I didn't spend more than a minute exploring the new cave when a spider dropped on me and knocked me into lava

Been playing this loads now on a friends server. We've got a few nice constructions and we're all working on a giant boat.
Been using the Wind Waker style texture pack after finding the 3D Dot Game Heroes one to be not as good as I remember (Though I did used to use a 32 one or something, not the 16 one that you have to use unless you mod).

i am the worst squatter neighbor
I used a code generator that made a crap load of cliffs. as a project I decided to go to the very top of one cliff thats 5 minutes away from my spawn and then build a bridge across to another cliff. At night you can see it from my spawn. Looks awesome. It was a slightly lengthy bridge.
I also found a strange cave system, found a spider spawn and pretty much got destroyed. I thinking of starting a new game letting minecraft generate the map. I have dug very far down and haven't been able to find any lava. I have dug in multiple areas too in multiple directions.

Zombies are the least annoying mob. 2nd most annoying sounding mob, next to spiders.
I'm clearing a ton of area in my world to add on to what we've already created. Last week my friends and I messed around with minecarts for the first time. Hilarity ensued when our subpar knowledge of minecarts met with the monstrosity that we created. Also: "Get out of that minecart pig. You are a pig, you don't even know what a minecart is."

hey, so, i'd wanted to ask when Exano was on but he was too busy resettin' mah servers working on stuff: what's the etiquette here? i'm trying to not take whatever's not locked down, but there's one hut that says feel free to destroy it (?), and i found one of Exano's survival huts with an open chest, packed with torches & swords, so i grabbed one of each. i try to leave something behind when i do this, but its usually something i have on me that's less helpful like wool or sand or something.
is this cool, or am i part of the problem? reading the GAFland boards & such, i dig the sense of community on the server, just want to encourage that & not be a d-bad in the process.
ps who uses the texture pack? any good?

Can't help but feel addicted to this game when I play (photorealism mod, 256) and love the wonder of how sky is pretty much the limit to what you want to do in this game. I'm going to try and see if it's possible to do a full replica of the Spencer Estate mansion from Resident Evil 1 and make it my crib. So much fun.

Sounds groovey but not done anything server related but single player. Do I need to downgrade in order to join the server? PM'd would be great on some quick simple instructions for this, thanks

There has been a leak of about 1,000 Minecraft username and passwords which are now circulating the internet. If you have an account then it would be wise to check if you're one of the unlucky few here: http://dinnerbone.com/minecraft.php and change your password to something more secure.
You can read more about the incident here: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/list-of-minecraft-account-passwords-found-in-the-wild-and-server-security-issues.8387/
The leak may be caused by some kind of client mod, so there is a potential for further compromisation in the future, although Mojang has been notified so hopefully the breach can be patched out.

If there is a sign that say free to take, or it's something like the survival hut then it's fine to take something from the chest.
Chest you don't want to mess with would be the ones with signs saying that they belong to someone and the chest that don't have any signs.

Can someone explain to me all the fuss over this game? Why is it getting such rave reviews?

I can't see a reason why this game couln't be done, in the same way, in iPad. Virtual analog to move, swipe screen (or even accelerometer) to move camera, pressing icons to select active slot, 2 virtual buttons, one for place item-block, another for mine-attack.

It can be played in a number of ways, from a ridiculously powerful virtual Lego playset (including stuff like working electrical circuits with logic gates) to a sort of Rogue-like dungeon crawler. It's got a great melancholic nordic atmosphere, the creator keeps adding all kinds of ingenious stuff to it for free, so you can leave it for months if you get bored, come back, and find all sorts of surprises. It's also pretty cheap (and used to be ridiculously so), and even though I don't like it even half as much as some, I've personally more than got my money's worth out of it.

I got a face full of lava today. Wasn't entirely unexpected since I am mining out the roof of my giant cave and I figured that could happen. Problem was, I forgot to keep a stack of cobble in one of my quick slots, so when I opened up the hole and saw red, I stood there like a dummy frantically opening my pack to slot in some stone....Ouch.
What's it take to be able to use lava on Exano's? I think I know what I want to do with this pool even though it will be quite some time before I get around to it.

Has the discussion about Jason Rohrer's chain world already come and gone?
I don't have a smart phone, but I would love if it eventually made it to a portable I could play on, 3DS seems ideal if it could handle the memory load. For now I'm perfectly happy with the PC version though, especially since it's still in beta.jon bones said:
At first I thought that article was a creepypasta. This seems like a neat concept, but the execution seems terribly unscientific* and more like an exclusive club.Visualante said:
The best way this could be handled would be with an official mod, where the world is stored on a specialized server, and only one person would be allowed to log into that world. That person would be determined by a flag on their Minecraft account, which, upon their death, would be automatically set to disallow their access and allow the next person in line. The line could simply be a queue that you can sign up for, and if you fail to log in within x days of gaining access, you forfeit your place in line.
Honestly this could probably all be done with a custom SMP server.
*By unscientific I mean this: I realize this is kind of the point, but the way the rules are set in this, there's no way to see the results of what's happened in the world after you. What's the point in the experiment if he'll never see the results or discuss it with anyone?

Doesn't that echo religion as well though? Religion was the main gate keeper to education and knowledge for many many years. Soon enough interest in the world will die out, the religion will fork.. there will be a pure version and an internet version.. then each internet community will have their own religion. I think it's very smart in the way it is designed. It's just a USB drive so it will be absolutely copied and modified. I think quite intentionally.. depite the rules saying otherwise. It would be very interesting to hear Rohrer's thoughts on this but I guess he doesn't post here.BooJoh said:
Oh absolutley but this actually involves the audience in a much more organic, less dictator like manner.BooJoh said:
There will be YouTube videos that you can see in your afterlife.. by playing you're accepting that your avatar is analogous to your own life. When you die all that will be left is your personal belongings, the marks you made on the world and the people who come after you. I don't see anything wrong with the implementation, I think it's simplicity is the beauty.BooJoh said:
I think the first person who manages to get a copy on here and is rebellious should fork off a GAF religion. Rules are made to be broken.
I'm not sure that was his intention at all. I was under the impression that he was more interested in the relationship we have with people we will never meet from generations that have already ended or have yet to come, our impact on their lives whether intentional or not, and what explanations we come up with for the things we find left behind by them. Granted a player could approach this scientifically, but without text or communication a large portion of what the player finds is left to their own conclusions and beliefs of why things were created, which echoes religion in our own world, where people use it to explain things in our past that are unknown to us, and let it influence our own decisions.Visualante said:
Either way you look at it, it's an interesting experiment. But the copied/rule-broken/forked version is more of an experiment in evolution or branching timelines IMO.

In other words, it's a big honkin' middle finger at the need to follow Modern Gaming Dogmas in order to be successful.
They might have used spawned blocks, in which case you can place leaves I think. But the "legit" way of doing it would be to plant multiple trees near each other, then carve away the leaves and trunks you don't want.Ranger X said:
Not as easy now that there's 3 tree types though. Trees seem to be much better at knowing which leaves to decay now.
Aright people, thought I'd show everyone on Exano's server how to get to a large mob grinder in case you need any arrows, bones, feathers, string, or sulphur.
Walk to the sand gate which is northwest of spawn.
From there, walk forward through the gate and turn to the left and you should see this.
http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae60/Bradlums/2011-03-15_235457.png
Follow the trail and enter the door at the base of the cactus.
http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae60/Bradlums/2011-03-15_235527.png
Inside the cactus there's a lift to the left to go to the bedrock. You can also just fall down into a pool of water. Don't freak out in mid-fall if it looks like you're falling into lava, there's glass separating water from lava underneath for aesthetic purposes.
http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae60/Bradlums/2011-03-15_235550.png
The door on the left leads to the mob grinder, the door in the center leads to a cactus farm, and the door to the right leads to a park with a large wheat farm.
http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae60/Bradlums/2011-03-15_234800.png
Follow the signs to the mob grinder and eventually you should get here. Stand by the sign for a minute or so for the mobs to spawn and get "grinded" and mob drops will start to flow towards you. If you want, you can go afk and you will continue to get items.
Also, just for kicks, here's a pic of the cactus farm and a pic of the park with the wheat farm. Feel free to take as much wheat as you want as long as you replant. (The radishes are wheat.) Animal crossing texture pack called animalcrafting btw

That video was impressive!
Lots of wood, though they probably just used spawned blocks like BooJoh mentioned. Can spawn leaf blocks.
Here is a tree that I started working on in the previous GAF server:
Never did get around to finishing it, next step would have been to plant a bunch of trees on tall dirt pillars to get the leaves around the branches.
No clue, are you running the latest version? 6.2 I think? Have you also tried deleting it and reinstalling it?
