Out of shot is a basement panic room, complete with lava traps, teleporter and easy collection of loot from whatever blood moon, pirate invasion, solar eclipse or whatever may bring. Aye, I'm bloody cautious of it, having clocked up 400 odd hours between 1.1 and a while after 1.2 (granted though, that was hosting a server too).

it's basically 2D modded MC (i.e. it has more 'stuff', like modded MC - Feed the Beast, Tekkit, Voltz etc), but Terraria players will insist that it isn't, even though it really isDon Carlos wrote:Looks like a poor mans Minecraft :/
Re: Minecraft - Anyone into it?
I stopped building the underground mine railway (redstone powered) at 7k blocks. Doing a little housework to cleanup those dumps/chests of stuff I left on the way.
My rail in the sky (yet to be extended) is coming on nicely. It should be a good tourist visual when done. Shades of The Rocky Mountaineer,
Just trying to decide whether to go coal or redstone powered. The Redstone option will need lots of accelerator points as you'd appreciate and in the deep ocean it's a risky business adding them

Re: Minecraft - Anyone into it?
Just went constructed another 500 blocks to get the end of my elevated rail out of the 'deep ocean' and onto dry land. While building I saw a strange Atlantian structure under the water some distance from my rail.

I started my archeological dig by dropping heaps of sand around (then dig it out as you know to displace the water) after a quick (on the water) cobblestone path build.
I have to go back later and really check this place out
as I have to do a couple of chores (with a beer in hand)
Question: Anyone else discovered these structures? Hints welcome.

they're full of giant one-eyed squid things that shoot frickin laser beams that fuck you up
you can even farm the Guardians that spawn in them, if you've got a few weeks to spare

Re: Minecraft - Anyone into it?
I just found another underwater structure close to the previous Atlantis.
From the looks it has a Roman/Greek temple appearance. Check it out

I marked with a couple of torches on the side of my railway and will come back later to investigate.

Madness - this game constantly boggles my mind
Re: Minecraft - Anyone into it?
Yeah... Minecraft is weird as fuck. Hence why it is so fucking addictive.
Anyone ever tried this one?

A bit existential / depressing.

[flash]

Googles 'how to uncover minecraft ocean monuments' to discover...


Things you might or will need when entering an ocean monument:
Potion of water breathing (essential, bring at least 4)
Potion of night vision (optional, but very useful; bring at least 2)
Splash potion of healing (optional, but good for quick healing, bring at least 3)
Splash potion of regeneration (optional, but helps a lot while fighting guardians and elder guardians, bring at least 1)
Potion of strength (optional, but very helpful when fighting guardians and elder guardians, bring at least 2)
Enchanted diamond armor (good enchantments include Respiration, Aqua Affinity, Protection, and Depth Strider)
Fairly large amount of food
A diamond sword enchanted with at least Sharpness I
Bow (not really needed, because arrows will slow down when shot underwater)
Iron or diamond pickaxe (essential, if you want to get the blocks of gold in the monument, should be enchanted with at least efficiency II if you plan to mine with mining fatigue)
Milk (optional, but can get rid of the mining fatigue effect for a few seconds)
Sponge (optional, but can create an emergency air pocket)
3 or more doors (optional, but useful for creating an air pocket and a quick shield)

Re: Minecraft - Anyone into it?
I'm sure you can make a list of increasing intervals between updates for every piece of software out there. It's just a natural progress of things. Early on in development, there's relatively many critical bugs that need to be fixed and probably lots of ideas for new features to implement. As time progresses, the bugs get fixed, the obvious new features get implemented and it just takes longer to come to a point where it's useful to put out a new update. Additionally, resources probably get pulled from the project and put on something else to help out there, further slowing down development.

NO. it's because he fucking SOLD OUT and doesn't care about the community only about the DOLLA DOLLA BILLS cause he's such a SELLOUT.
Re: Minecraft - Anyone into it?
it isn't the update intervals that count, it's the content that comes with each update - and that content recently has been 50% good, 50% wankmjrpes wrote:Remember in alpha... when Notch released an update every week? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

Re: Minecraft - Anyone into it?
Yeah apparently the source code is a big pile of mud....

Years ago when they became serious about modding should have been the time they seriously refactored or started from scratch. Probably too big to take on now.

Re: Minecraft - Anyone into it?
handed noticed that, but then the last time i played MC was a 1.6 FTB pack
Re: Minecraft - Anyone into it?
Well I have to report today I mined 4 sponges in that underwater temple
after surrounding it with thousands of sand blocks taking days. Mining ever so carefully there and taking brief underwater swims without the aid of potions or enchantments I have seen mentioned.
Off now back home to a furnace to experiment with these sponge things as I have heard they suck up lots of water


Hey, I didn't tell you about those cats and their kittens. They are easily trapped for what?
