I hope he adds natural disasters. Optional, of course, but it would be mighty badass.

Bolded doesn't work for me. I'm probably going to have to get an editor and change my original spawn point. Don't really want to do that, but not much choice it seems :s
Grinchy said:I haven't actually gone here yet, but who made this thing on Asscraft? This looks awesome.
Forbert made it. You would see his monuments in areas far from spawn point usually. Like a Random temple out of nowhere or a huge dome faaaar from spawn in the middle of frozen lake! It takes a long pilgrimage to visit all his temples and domes!
Grargh!!!
So yeah, this whole Factions thing is going to be interesting.
Quick note of advice to anybody, if you're planning on freelancing or just don't know what faction you want to join, make sure that you don't build directly next to an existing faction's turf ("/f map" shows marked territory). Last time I logged on, I had my little shack/quarry set up right next to AOF territory. Next time I'm on, I find my shack has been annexed by AOF. Can't even get into my chests! Thankfully, there's no penalty for joining and leaving factions yet, so I just join AOF, grab all my stuff from the chest, then leave it.

Ya know what would be awesome? FOG!!!
Ever tried to play MC with the lowest view distance? Reminds me of Silent Hill! lol
Besides it makes it more difficult!

hahaha that's freaking awesome. In wich other game can you sit on the verge between rain and snow?
Blizzard said:
Yeah but "distance fog" wouldn't look great. Would give more of a N64 feeling than anything else. We would need properly done fog. Volumetric fog if possible.

I love developers when they are. Sometimes I ask a developer for a favour and they give me twice as much as I asked for just because they brainstormed and came up with something. While not being exactly what I asked for I still put it to good use. <3 Developers.

Thunder and lightning would be awesome. I was sad that snow went away so it's good to see it will be back in.
This stuff really adds to the atmosphere for me

Yeah, they are supposed to know what to implement or not and how to do it according the intention of their design and the intended audience for their product. It's their job afterall. Everybody can have ideas but not anybody can properly implement stuff in a game.
Blizzard said:
Yeah indeed. But I suppose they look at the performance like anything else. They had to look at performance since the beginning of the project, I don't think they would stop doing so now. Well, it wouldn't make sense to stop caring as a soft can get clogged SUPER easily.

Yeah, I honestly agree it's high time Notch devoted some development to optimizing that piece of shit rendering engine he's got in there, though part of me fears it's simply because java is inherently an inefficient rendering language.Blizzard said:

Single player. When I respawn after destroying my bed and killing myself, it doesn't dump me at my original spawn point. It now dumps me in a random spot somewhere in between the two. Basically, my original spawn point no longer exists.

Grab this version of Cartographer. It allows you to generate top down and isometric views of the surface that you've uncovered, and exports the result as an image file.
I THINK Mikor did thatVlad said:
While I was mining he was going crazy claiming land, lol. I told you we'd get back at you! That's for defecting! Also, the weather looks amazing so far, but I'm not sure if I like the rain texture. Still looks like the one he used way back when he first messed with weather.Flim Flam said:
What you've found is likely the great Lava ocean that separates the land in two.
KillerAJD said:I THINK Mikor did that
Yes I did! The Agents of Freedom needed more room, our numbers are ever increasing!

Is it to late to start playing Minecraft?
I'm a Minecraft virgin, but I'm very interested in this game...

Seeing as the game is still in "beta", it could be argued you're entirely too early.
The way things are going it probably still has entire years of development left in it, and even then it's still a unique and interesting little game as it stands already.
Fernando Rocker said:
Its never too late to start! Minecraft at its core is pretty simple really, and you catch on quickly. If you feel the need to prepare before jumping in, visit youtube and search for minecraft tutorials, theres more than enough info there to get anybody going.
After getting your feet wet, check out the minecraft wiki, it is a great compendium of game knowledge.
