I haven't been on NeoCraft in about two months (School and such); however, I am looking forward to inhabiting the new world as soon as 1.8 roles out. I recall some talk about having the spawn obviously fit in with the Arks and have it be a harbor like area. Is everyone planning on creating a fishing village-esque town or was it going to be a loading dock and then have a town close by? Since I am lacking a lot of the creative mindset that building in minecraft requires I was wondering if anyone had some large scale projects that they wanted help on?

lol! I'm so not a PC gamer that I had a computer with a quad core CPU and 8 gigs of ram for over 2 years before buying a videocard - and one of the major reasons I bought it was so Minecraft would run better. I have to admit I've really enjoyed a lot of other PC games in the meantime, though. Especially the multiplats that I can max at 1200p now. It really helps make the consoles look like shit.jambo said:

Interesting. So not only will there be generated structures out of a new block in the nether now, but generated bridges too? I wonder if ghasts can blow this new block apart or not? It would be nice to be able to make nether buildings out of more than just cobblestone...

Definitely a step in the right direction. Getting some Mount Doom vibes with the nether bridges/lava contrast.gutabo said:

I absolutely love this pack. Just wish he had a skin for creepers. They look so bland in comparison to the rest of the mobs.Bootaaay said:

There absolutely is a skin for creepers. They have a yellow belly, little claws on their... hoofs (?), cleaned up face, everything.TheNiX said:
I use the 256x version (the more HD version) and it's absolutely negligible. I assume, like with texture resolution in most games it's governed by your video card's VRAM and fillrate. I notice when I used the 512x version blocks take a little longer to pop-in in the distance (I use Far view distance). It's my favorite texture pack by far, love it.Blizzard said:
I definitely wouldn't mind a new block mixed in with the Nether. I mean, Netherack brick is cool but some variation in color would be nice, Obsidian would make sense, or more soul-sand maybe.gutabo said:
I'm thinking of building a 1:1 scale of the Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea...
Just need to find a good blueprint for it... GAH.
EDIT:
Might make it 2:1 or 3:1 scale, as the ship is rather tiny given the size on these blueprints...

And here it looks like someone beat me but I'm sure I can up-the-ante!

Huh, weird. I've never experienced that before with the Sphax texture pack.
Zafir said:They don't translate well into big tables though.
Eh, they look OK imo if you put multiple tables together;
That's my little 1.8 place incidentally, here's some exterior shots;
I think it's the gaps that kind of bug me. I'll just stick with the tried and true wood blocks for larger tables for the time being.Bootaaay said:Huh, weird. I've never experienced that before with the Sphax texture pack.

As for the rain, it could easily just be a one off bug maybe, I'll see if it happens again.

There's server mods that will let you switch between worlds in-game with a portal, or you could do it manually each time, but that's a pain in the ass.
I think this will do the trick, but you need bukkit installed on the server;

Just started this 1.8 world the other night, I finally found a seed that I liked the spawn location (or at least near the spawn). Most of the times I would spawn in Swamp or Savannah so spawning in a forest with lakes and mountains was a nice change of pace. I ran around a bit and found a cool little above-ground lava pool. Right next to it was a lake with a little island in the middle and a relatively large mountain across the other side - surrounded by forests with a full assortment of tree types.
I carved out a small cave in the mountain across the lake and went to work terraforming the island for a house as well as collecting enough stone to make it out of the new Stone Brick material. Here are my results so far:
I have to clean up the landscaping (still waiting for the trees to grow to). It's just two floors, ground and basement and I am having a hell of a time finding sheep to make wool for the carpets plus no paintings yet (may just have to farm string). Basement's mostly a furnace workshop at the moment.
Also the caverns and dungeons underneath are absolutely awesome. Besides the typical minecart corridors a HUGE portion of the caverns have been flooded by the lake above it. Looks really cool.

I haven't found anything tangible regarding this despite searching at minecraftforum etc. (of course it doesn't help that the place is full of tweens who can't type properly, but...). The way Notch made it sound earlier, the edit should've been trivial to make in 1.8 and we should've seen a mod to increase the height limit by now. Unless every modder is taking a break until MCP comes out, it might be that it's just one more thing Mojang 'forgot' to implement.
One of the good things about Sphax PureBDCraft is that it comes in different sizes: 16x, 32x, 64x, 128x, 256x, and 512x! One of those should run pretty well for you. I run 32x on my MacBook Pro whereas I run 128x on my gaming rig. They both look greatBlizzard said:
Edit: Corrected 518x to 512x to note correct size options.

Damn... I can't wait until we get the server up and running. I'm going to get on the vent when it happens.

I pillaged a ton of it from 1.7 NeoCraft. Flying around and looting every spot I saw (thanks for the idea, AnCh!). I was also shearing every sheep I saw while flying around too.

Seriously, the new terrain generation isn't just changing the shapes of things.
I already noticed that:
- There's clay in like every single chore.
- There's more Iron near the surface.
- A bit less coal near the surface (or maybe this was an impression I had because I found much more Iron)
Also, I have some lava that apparently can flow underwater. Might be caused by the reunion of 2 chunks being created in 2 different versions though because so far it always happen where my 1.7(or older) chunks meet with 1.8 chunks.

Get a stack of gravel, keep laying it out and destroying until it all breaks into flint?

god i hate flint/gravel.Ranger X said:Flint? you mean.... gravel?
EDIT: beaten by an artist.And yes the best way is still to destroy and re-destroy stacks of gravel.

I guess that's what Minecraft looks like in an alternate universe on CryEngine instead of just stupid Java.
