seremtan, what client mods and texture packs are you using. Looks awesome.


i use magiclauncher instead of the default launcher (enables mod loading and hi-res tex packs without editing/patching jar), optifine (which, as well as adding AF and mipmapping, also adds a load of menu options), and the tex pack is 'soartex fanver' (short for 'fan version', since the creator of soartex gave up, so fans of the packs have continued the work)

I can't see anything more fun than stacking blocks with graphics that looks like it was made last century. That's some serious escapism.

I installed a mod that drops a spawn egg and cage when you destroy a monster block.

There's a new snapshot out... looks fun!

http://www.mojang.com/2012/02/15/minecr ... ot-12w07a/

Added new world file format called “Anvil” (256 max height and 4096 block IDs*)
Multi-player light calculations do no longer cause affected blocks to be transmitted to the clients, instead the clients will recalculate the light on their own
Villagers will repopulate villages based on how many houses there are available
Some nights in villages will be worse than others…
Added a redstone-controlled light source
Decreased chance for the rare mob drops
All animals use the new AI system now

I tried to connect to mc.quake3world.com but got stuck in some kind of shaky limbo state where I kept falling through the floor and then immediately snapped back to my spawning position. I couldn't move around. What gives?

..and it's properly addictive - have got a couple of mates that play and it bores the fucking arse off me when they start talking about minecraft in the pub (which they're periodically dragged to to stop them playing minecraft all the bloody time). we should be talking about sensible, grown-up things that everybody can enjoy, like BF3.

yeah it can happen that the chunk you spawn on is slow to load. just try again when that happens

Eh yeah that's dissapointing. I guess painting designs onto the side of the blocks wasn't feasible.

The only reason it exists is cos of this Lego "CUUSOO" thing - japanese for "wish" or something like that I believe. Anyway, you can upload any lego creation to the cuusoo website and if it gets enough people voting for it - over 10,000 - the Lego group considers making it a set. 10,000 votes from minecrafters apparently being very easy to get!

The disappointing thing is that there are far more interesting possibilities trying to garner votes - check this one out: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/1787

Succesfully connected now. Ran around, mined a shitload of things, ran into a bunch of zombies in a mine after getting lost and died there, losing all my stuff. I was so angry I immediately disconnected. Bastards :mad:

/spawn

also, by 'mine' i assume you actually mean cave

protip: avoid caves when you first start out. dig a 45deg passage down to block 10 and strip mine until you have enough resources for decent armour. it helps if there's someone online when you're on to front you some torches and iron ingots, though

So... just got sonic ethers shaders working (enables shadows). The only way it worked for me was not using magic launcher. You get some really nice looking shots...

It's a lot of fun. I now play on smp.hcfactions.net

It's hardcore, you guys should join and we can createa Q3W clan. If you die, you lose all your shit and are banned for 5 days.

It seems to be a standard timeframe for hardcore servers. It's incidentally PVP. You create factions and war with other factions. People try to get creative with bases to keep enemies out. It's quite fun and well... dying has real consequences since your killer loots all your gear.

Currently I've created a hidden base up in a jungle tree. It's completely camouflaged from the ground and surrounded by forrest so it's unlikely to get noticed. My plan is to encase a portion of the base in obsidian and fill it with lava then when some asshole decides he's gonna break in anyway he'll get a nice facefull of lava plus whatever other trap I design to activate when the block is broken. Or something.

:olo: :up:

still not tempted to play but PVP sounds like it could be tons of fun.

Sounds awesome on first connect as a newbie getting your face split in two by an experienced player's ax in the first 2 minutes.

nice :up:

shame it doesn't work with magic launcher. shame also that optifine isn't compatible with the water shader. this + that + OF = super excellent win

your biggest killer will actually be starvation, that's your real enemy. The player you can run from or outwit. Everything has been reset right now for 1.2 so it's a good time to join in but in the last game I had created a base with a pool. In the pool was a hold I could use to escape into an obsidian room which had 1 exit once you went out a switch activated a piston door and blocked the way in and the way out and it was fill with water and it was pitch black in there. I never got to use it but it was my escape route in the event of an attack.

it's minecraft, be creative that's why it's called a hardcore server...
