Understood. I'm sorry if what I said came across as an attack or a dig against Assland, it really wasn't meant to be that way at all.

Seconded! If someone can ID this, as long as its current I'll definetly be using it. Cel shaded look is perfect for MC, in my opinion.
Monroeski said:
Not quite sure what the texture pack is, but it definitely seems to be using this GLSL shader mod, and a community shader made by Yourself, which can be found here.
Here's a sample I took with the Painterly pack:

And these are with Mixcraft HD:

Second edit:
Found it! It's called Minecraft 4 Kids. It does use the GLSL mod, and is available in 128x128 and 64x64 versions.

Well, this next upgrade seems to be a big one. Wolves + archievements + change spawnpoint, at least.
I'm really waiting for the archievements. Right now I don't know what else to do (not a big fan of making great and amazing castles) and archievements can give me some long-term goals.

I don't really follow the announcements very well, so I had no idea the achievements were something that was actually coming soon. That could be...interesting.
It's odd how I can't wait for updates in this game, yet at the same time I always worry that updates will violate the charm of the game. It seems like he's been able to keep that from happening so far, though.
Setting your own spawn point will be welcome, although it seems to take out some of the difficulty.

Not really. The spawn issue is bullshit because if you wander around and you build a big castle, and then you decide to go spelunking and die, your "logical" spawn point should be your castle (that maybe is 2 days away from your spawn point, because there was not any interesting place nearer), not a random spot that forces you to go to your castle and, then, again to the dungeon.
Yes, you can abuse of this having a bed and spawning again always near your last death (even if you need to sleep, that you can't do always), but it forces you to create a save zone everytime, and is probably not worthy.
About the archievements, is great that Notch said that it won't be things like "mine 50000 blocks", and more similar to "jump a cliff riding a pig". I'm interesting in seeing how will be those archievements and how Notch will control that you fulfill the conditions.

I guess that's very true. I am one of those people who just kept creating new worlds until I found a spawn point in a cool area, so I guess I've cheated the system as it was anyway. I can totally see how it would suck if you actually ventured out to build.
Also,
This is such an awesome mining strategy. I have found a couple dozen diamonds in very short mining sessions thanks to this.
I can't wait to finish up on my Asscraft house. When it feels more "done" I'm going to do something I haven't done before. I'm going to plan something out, and then build it. I'm not sure what it will be yet but I want to make something recognizable (like a Mcdonalds or a Best Buy or something).

And don't forget that with each patch there can be alot of stuff added that we don't know prior the patch. It happened before, it will happen again.
So I guess that if we get the wolves, the new spawn system and the achievements + whatever other stuff we don't about and most probably new crafting stuff and more variety to existing pieces, it will end up in a great update.

Finally had some time to get onto Exano's server tonight. MC name is "Vegeta187x" (no, I'm not a fan of DBZ still, it's a REALLY old internet handle that I've used for over 10 years).
Not entirely sure where I set up shop at, but I just found an area that didn't have alot of buildings near it. I'm paranoid about respecting other people's property and space, so I don't want to build anything too close to someone's stuff.

Notch needs to implement this.

you still need a bed.
And I like the idea the more I think about it. It encourages you to wander away from the spawn point and explore more, without worrying too much about finding your way back if you die. Thats not reducing the difficulty so much - more reducing the frustration and trudging

My first session trying this method, I was bounded on most sides by open caverns full of lava, and underground waterfalls).
I think I might try one block up, as too many times I had to shore up the floor due to lava being right below me.
didn't get too much good stuff either. Just enough diamond to build a pick, and tons of coal. And some lapis lazuli which seems worthless.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.

I know he wants to use the bed as a spawn reset, but I wish he'd add a chair and small table at least. Use the chair to reset spawn points instead, and the table to craft small items like three slot items (bread for example and yes, it's more of a novelty). Once we got basic furniture (bed, chair, table), the game is basically done in my opinion...well outside of the modding support.
Zaro said:
Same thing with me as well. I loaded up the HQ mod then the Minecraft 4 kids mod.
When I go to the inventory at times other times it is random, the screen will go black.
The error on the console that I use to load the mod is saying out of memory, but looking at my stats on my computer says otherwise.

As a castle-building platform, maybe, but not as a game. Anti-griefing measures, more gameplay variety for dungeons, enemies and animals, receipts to use the now quite unuseful materials like gold, more receipts, better transport and minecarts, greater incentives in the exploration than a few chests, more farming options, etc. There is still a lot to do left, and the proof is the austonding amount of mods that enhance the game.

This is what interests me about Minecraft, but not for the reasons you'd think.
Minecraft's entire success, as wonderful as it's been, has been predicated on the idea that its customers aren't buying a finished game but an ongoing experiment. The free updates have come for months, providing new materials, biomes, items, crafting recipes, and even an occasional new mechanic like The Nether or fishing. It's what keeps the game fresh, it's what keeps the communities coming back week after week. Everyone wants to know what the next mobs will be, what the new additions to the level generation systems are, what the new treasures they'll be able to find in the deep crevices of the earth.
But Notch has made it clear he doesn't want Minecraft to be his life's work. He's stated openly he has plans to "finish" the game, and likely soon. Mojang has already started deveopment on a second game, and one way or another development on Minecraft will eventually stop. Which makes me worry about what the eventual backlash will be like. It's going to happen, one way or another, and I can't see the updates stopping without half of the Minecraft community screaming bloody murder that the $15 game they've sunk 200 hours into is ripping them off and that Notch is turning his back on the people who made him successful.
Which is particularly concerning because so many other indies are looking to thise business model for inspiration. The ability to release a playable but not quite polished game for cheap in order to build a critical mass of popularity and support has obvious benefits, but I think that we haven't seen a successful example of it yet. Most games just release a buggy, half-finished mess and don't reach that Minecraft-style critical mass, resulting in a project that falls apart shortly after release... or you have Minecraft, which has been wildly successful but is in the unenviable position of having an audience that expects content regularly, for free, and for the foreseeable future.
He already said he'd develop it until it's unprofitable then opensource it. I'm sure if Mojang stops developing it, it will keep going for years and years thanks to the huge community that already exists.
I can't see any better way. In fact, if Mojang did drop it, it'd probably develop faster than it did when it was closed.
Let's hope it doesn't stop soon. But it will happen eventually. And it'll keep going for years to come. Like The Simpsons.

Small question, my friend is hosting a SMP server and I would like to give him a mod that removes terrain damage from Creeper explosions. What is it called and how can he install it?
Our spawn point looks like Normandy and we can't fix it, game doesn't want us to build around the spawn point it seems.

Agreed. I really don't feel like fucking around with the code for my game, so I look forward to the drag and drop install of official mods.r1chard said:

Well no, no. He's already adding modding API anyway and I was taking that into consideration.
And by "done" i mean single player. At this point he's going to spend the next year or so fixing multiplayer bugs.
Like someone below said: as a castle building single player game, it would be complete.
