Minecraft - Anyone into it?

[Whiskey 7]

Look, I know it is just a game, but today, and I have been away for a couple of weeks doing other things, I ventured off the beaten track to discover things I'd left months ago. Things like direction markers and caches of goodies. Is there no end?

[Don Carlos]

There is no end!!! Dig dig dig dig

[Whiskey 7]

I've been to hell & back in the game and even built a rail line in the flat pain of hell. Very disorienting place so F3 is your friend for those that venture there.

Just building and experimenting with 'portal technology' but I prefer to call them star gates

My original (electrified) rail line, now some 20,000 blocks has enabled travel some 80,000 from home (with 'gate' technology). An amazing jump. I am still finding underwater monuments (Atlantis cities) and abandoned mines, even some of them in the deep ocean.

now all you need to do is stop playing vanilla and get yourself a mod pack

[Κracus]

only mod I'd suggest is a map mod. Anything else seems to ruin the game for me.

[seremtan]

mods don't ruin the game - they just provide numerous ways of it being extended beyond the capability of Mojang

I got hi res texture pack and the detail is nice. The water is a little less opaque and ofter you can see 'holes' below, then dive into a sub-ocean abandoned mine.

I did try a couple of 'city' maps and while interesting, I did think something was missing so maybe that's the explorer in me

[Whiskey 7]

Whiskey, will you upload the world map once you've uncovered the Ocean Temple? I really would like to check it out

Hey Porto, you still about? If so will I upload my world map somewhere

It really is, how did someone here put it in words, a drug or that kids fall into the Minecraft world and can't get out

Reporting in : I recently found another 'Atlantis' underwater temple and set about surrounding in glass brick walls; just because.

I am still exploring, building elevated railways and then electrifying them while exploring this endless Minecraft world and I just found another underground/water mine and started exploring.

you do realise it's pretty much more of the same in every direction, right?

seriously, get a mod pack with Biomes O Plenty in it at the very least, for more variety

Yes I realize it is much the same and repetitious. I traveled 80,000 blocks/metres via portals and it is all much the same everywhere but just a little different

I think my trill is that of discovery as I keep asking myself "What's around that corner". Getting lost and trying to navigate my way out I find also a challenge but there's always the 'dig straight up' escape I've used a couple of times.

Thanks seremtan for the Biomes O Plenty suggestion. I will check it out. I still use a hi res texture pack and that's lovely

Girl was playing vanilla. She kept wanting things that didnt exist.

She started playing Attack of the B-Team. Shes stopped asking for shit, and its more fun. Dont want it super cheaty turn off morphs flying option. Depending how serious we're playing we may turn that on or off. Its stupid cheaty. Super super cheaty. Kill a bat, enjoy flying forever. Fun tho

[Whiskey 7]

Hey SOAPboy, you had your pills today

[seremtan]

you should try that whiskey

or maybe Vanilla+ on the FTB launcher

[SOAPboy]

Hey SOAPboy, you had your pills today

Depends which Pills

[seremtan]

look at this ripoff

[Whiskey 7]

Today I finished another 20k railway extension just above the landscape. I enjoy the scenery
The world is endless.

Yesterday I discovered a compass and the teleport command. They seem devilish to use and I am near scared to use them.

Pasted here for future reference

Just a little update

I am enlarging the tunnel I have at Level 12, with that electrified railway now extended. It must be about 25k blocks long.

A couple of days ago I discovered one of those abandoned mines as you do but this seems to be growing as I keep discovering new levels. I just seems to get bigger the further I explore this one.

II usually find a couple, maybe as many as 5 mine carts with chests in previous mines but this one I am now more than 12 and still digging

[mrd]

Just blow it to hell with TNT and be done with it.

[Whiskey 7]

Just found another 3 mine carts in the same tunnel

TNT, fun stuff too and I have played with it extensively on another world.

[seremtan]

apparently 1.9 has more End structures and dual-wielding

[seremtan]

Notch fucked up, living the cliche

[scared?]

What a moron...

[Eraser]

Oh boo-fucking-hoo. I won't shed a tear for Notch and his multi-billion dollar "problem".

[MKJ]

as the article says, the last time he "overshared", he sold his company for billions.
looks like a valid strategy.

so you think this is him suggesting to the world that he's an easy mark for some gold digger?

i gotta say, when i heard about his beverly hills shenanigans, i wondered what his wife was thinking about it since she seemed like such a down to earth girl-next-door type in the minecraft documentary. little did i realise she'd dumped his ass after only a year of marriage...
