dunno seems more rewarding to me to have an epic castle after a day or two of building rather than a boring mineshaft and a square house after a week.

Not to mention, it's nice to actually populate the map with awesome buildings and contraptions. Especially with the crazy amounts of room we've got.


That depends on what you find rewarding. I find determination rewarding, even in something as mindless as Minecraft.

I kind of see it like this:

When creating a level for Quake 3, is it more rewarding to get a creation out ready for alpha testing in a week or to spend 3 months writing the .map file out by hand in notepad?

Just my opinion anyways.

it's not quite the same. The similarities are that one is a quick enjoyable process with the resources you need at your fingertips to get something built. The other is a tedious mind-numbing process.

I'll be on to work on the castle some more tomorrow. I feel like I wasted enough time today building :P

lol

This is what happens when you use 1.8 blocks to build structures then swap back to 1.7 -



Yes, non-solid as well. Can walk right through it as if they didnt exist yet the torches and redstone stay suspended as if they were still on blocks.

minecraft is fucking stupid in survival mode. can't even build a goddamn house without 8 creepers showing up destroying everything only to spawn in the middle of a group of a bunch of goddamn spiders zombies and skeletons.

Screw that. I'm playing single player.

I love all the people who claim "it's beta, deal with it." As if anything is going to change after November 11th. Poor planning and no vision of the end product aren't a beta-related problem.

The whole point is building something that will protect you from said creepers...

edit: I can't log in to minecraft.net it seems...

You missed the point where 8 creepers just show up out of nowhere and blow up the building I'm constructing to protect myself from said creepers.

Keep trying to login. It took a while.

quite. i mean, it was just a fat swedish neckbeard making it until said basement goblin realised he was getting rich and decided to hire some equally inept people to help out. i hope there's a MC2, and that notch makes the smart move of letting an actual game studio employing competent people make it into the game MC should have been

Overview map:

http://mc.quake3world.com/mcmap-1.8/

Guys, I think the problem with rendering the previous map was the large size. This map took 5 minutes to render; the previous one took 2 hours. If you can hold in your urge to explore 10,000 blocks in all directions, then daily map updates shouldn't be a problem.
