"During a rainstorm, the moon, sun, and stars are hidden from view, and thunderstorms become possible. Thunderstorms decrease the light level by 8 levels, to light level 7 even in full daylight, which is dark enough to spawn aggressive mobs"
I should of clarified thunderstorms.

I think I'm just gonna wait until we get an actual substantial release before playing again.Enco said:
Second rainstorm, started at sundown again, this time I didn't sleep and it lasted until 3pm the next day.
It seems to be rare, but honestly it would probably get annoying if it was too common, especially for people who aren't on peaceful.
It would be pretty cool if you could make a weather machine that would create constant weather across an area. That might make farming a little too easy though.

I'm just not compelled to play it any more. Sure building and mining was fun but it gets old.
The game NEEDS:
Mini games
Way more mobs (with real loot such as pre-made weapons)
Pre built areas with loot (although this may be tough to put in)
I don't see myself playing it again if none of the above is put in.
Enco said:
Mini games? You mean the game needs more systems maybe. Because this is a sandbox, YOU make your games with the systems and behaviors in place. It's the point of the game...
As for pre-build area with loot, what do you mean? There's loot everywhere right now. What else do you want to collect?

Enco said:
Mini-games like farming, mining, fishing, cooking and hunting? They're in, or almost soonish. More mob variety could certainly be something, but it'll happen over time. And pre-built areas with loot are in the game. There are caves with moss stone that's pre-built with chests and monster spawners.
By pre built areas I mean settlements with loot like pre made tools and weapons.
By mini games I mean things that score you points. Not sure how it could be put into the game right now but just having more activities instead would be nice.
The main ones are settlements and more mobs that drop real loot not string and leather..

I just get nervous continuing, knowing that new blocks might come out (like lapis lazuli) which leads me to either have to go out of my already searched area to find blocks, or just start a new world.
I also wish those settlements are updated sooner than later.
The only thing that worries me is that we probably will have other updates that will cause your world to be obsolete. I really hope Notch would find a way because if those settlements are added, or anything that need to be generated, it probably will force us to create new worlds --- wich I really don't want to do. I am really getting attached to my current game and I would not feel like starting from scratch again.
Mojang are fucking awesome at sound effects actually. Sometimes I am playing the game and then I start "listening to the sound effects" and realise they are soooo goood!! It becomes even more explicit when you try shit games like FortressCraft wich have horrible horrible sounds. Everything is perfect in Minecraft in matter of sound effects. The tiniest sound is satisfying, everything punching sound on blocks are completely awesome, etc. It just feels great.

I remember that I have a disabled Spider Spawner and am thinking about making a trap out of it so I can get an unlimited supply of string. Any suggestions for the best way to do this? Ive seen so many ideas from cactus traps to water traps to lava traps. What seems to work the best?
Im more attached to the materials that I dug up than I am my world. I dont have anything great...I just have a lot of it. So much cobblestone and then coal used to smelt the cobblestone into smoothstone. I dont want to lose any of it.
I kinda wish there was a shared inventory or at least the option when you create a new world to carry over your inventory...unless this is possible and Im just unaware.

The best way is drowning. While lava and cactus pits do work, you will lose some loot. The only way to collect 100% of the item drop is to make a drowning tube that mobs will fall into. You bring them into the tube by water currents. If you page back, I explained earlier how I made my mob grinder. I can help you if you can't figure this whole thing out.
Salaadin said:
Yeah I also don't want to lose my stuff. This and what I did build with it. I have a nice house, a pyramid, a giant sequeleton and I made a Mario Bros life shroom yesterday. :/

It can be done without too many problems. I think that Notch is aware that people spent a lot of time in their worlds, and he'll try to convert the worlds to get new properties.
For example, material it should be as easy as applying the spawn algorithm in existant stones. For other things, like settlements, dragon lairs, etc, he only need to compare the current world with the seed world, and check large chunks of unmodified zones.
Ranger X said:
Yep, but all the good that is with sounds is as bad with textures. Mobs and animals are ok, but material ones are painful to the eyes.

We're up and running, folks, server got caught in a timeout loop, sorry.
To the posters complaining about 1.5 updates, I'm sorry you're having to experience the typical "Mojang content update experience" (a.k.a. a few features in, about twice as many bugs). As tempting as I know it is to try out all the new toys, their initial introduction to MC is typically bugged and is normally at best broken and at worst corrupts world saves and player files in SMP. This is nothing new to MC's dev cycle, and it's something long time players (especially SMP players) just have to grow accustomed to - that's how Notch operates. We ARE still his testers, after all.
That being said, I hope everyone who's playing 1.5 single player is enjoying themselves - hopefully he'll increase the chances for weather effects a fair bit so people can actually SEE them every so often lol

Personally I love the texture. It really is an artstyle choice here and it fits perfectly with me. Since the game requires to be very basic graphically to even just be doable and playable, he decided to go hand to hand with the simple graphics by giving them old school early 90s style textures. Very ID software style I would say. I love this retro feeling.

lololol "achievements" can make you stop playing a game? Seriously? You won't die if you don't do them, no one cares you know. And there's achievements in almost every game today anyways (I think it's lame but hey, I simply ignore them. Why would they ruin my gaming?)

I was playing Portal 2 (Steam Version) and I saw that it has archievements, and that ruined the game for me.
I'm going to Metacritics to put a 0 in the user scores.

Actually, you probably WILL die if you don't do them, as so far they've sensibly been used as a tutorial to ease new players in and get over the hurdle of having to consult a wiki before even having an idea of what can be done in the game in order to be able to meaningfully play it. Our friend here has corretly identified this as being THE END OF MINECRAFT, of course.
Ranger X said:
Thanks, Ill check that out and let you know if I have issues. Ive read up on it online some too. I think I know what I have to do.
Does anyone with an AMD GPU use RadeonPro for screenshots and cant get it to work with Minecraft? Id hate to have to switch back to Fraps just for minecraft screen but it looks like thats what I have to do.

the only thing I don't like about the achievements is having to make certain types of tools. I don't want a wooden sword. I made a wooden sword solely for the achievement, now it's just sitting in a chest. Why couldn't I get the achievement when I made a stone sword?

Join us in Civil Wars!
I ask again to anyone reading the thread, any idea what's up with the OP? Can a mod lock this and have the thread recreated so a member can really, truly actually actively update the OP for more than just a month or two?

I've been checking it a lot. It hasn't been online since 1.5 and there was the long downtime right before that too. I hate the thought of switching servers, but I can't just stop playing Minecraft altogether. I don't even understand what this civil wars thing is about, but I might have to check into it.
