Minecraft

[tSwitch]

I'm addicted.
This game is crack.

http://www.minecraft.net/

[stripe103]

I agree. It is strange how addictive a game like this can be.

[Ryex]

I built a tower with stairs from the lava at the bottom of the game field to the clouds at the top
the floors were two boxes high with a box in between to walk on. it had 23 floor and took be two and a half hours to build. WHY! WHY DID IT WASE SO MUCH OF MY TIME!

[tSwitch]

Survival mode is even more addicting.

[element]

Lol a friend today told me about the game.
Goin 2 check it out now.

[Blizzard]

People around me are talking about it. That means it got to us as well. D: Must... resist... Dx

[element]

Damn when I want to start playing I get an error saying

org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated

[Landith]

Means you need a better computer. 'nuff said.

But yes I have spent many hours playing this game, it's really fun.
Btw, if anyone finds a fun server or creates a server for CP ya'll should post it for multiplayer fun.

ATM, I am building a water slide by my house and trying to make a dungeon using a monster spawner but it's hard to make it fun.
Also if ya'll didn't know, you can have custom skins and modify the textures for the game to make it more pleasing to play.

Just download a texture pack, go to your AppData folder in your User folder, find Minecraft under Roaming it should be the exact location:
C:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin
where XXXXXX is your user name on the computer.
After that you open up minecraft.jar using WinRar or a 3rd party application and then move it over.
DO NOT EXTRACT HERE OR EXTRACT TO A FOLDER JUST OPEN IT UP TO MAKE THINGS EASIER ON YOURSELF

For the texture packs, just use Google, I'm sure you will find something or another.

Also, if you want to just build something and don't want to spend countless hours searching for diamonds or what-not, I suggest downloading INVedit

Another App you can use that is useful would be the Cartograph, basically what this does is render you a copy of the world you want as an image or say you wanted certain blocks like Diamond, search for the Diamond on the Minecraft Wiki which is: here. Then you can render a normal copy of your map, then another with only the block Diamond on there which the hex value is 56. Put the diamond on top of the other one and you can see where all the diamond is. Also it shows your world you created which is pretty sweet. For examples just look on the Cartograph thread and it has examples in the first post.

[Vell]

oh man, I'd suggest building underground until you find redstone near your base. Having that compass will really help you find where your spawn point is.

[Diokatsu]

I tried this...I don't get it. Why is this game supposed to be really good? Not trying to be flamebait here, but I honestly got bored like 2 hours in.

[Vell]

Did you try survival mode?

Also, not every game is for everyone. It gets fun when you get really into it to survive and build everything and the joy of finding that humongous cave.

[Ryex]

how are we supposed to try survival mode when that is only in the paid version?

[Zeriab]

how are we supposed to try survival mode when that is only in the paid version?

Buy it
Try it at a friend's place

You can also watch youtube vids of it to get a feeling of it. (Not as good as actually trying it)

[Landith]

Yeah buy it. It's honestly the best 13$ I have ever spent. Better than every 13$ hooker you ever wanted.

Now that I think about it, this guy is making a TON of money off Minecraft o_O

$5,122,767 to be almost exact.
If everyone who played the java version on the website bought it that would be:
$16,520,582.

That much money off such a simple yet addicting game.
Hell today he made: $102,804

Also I would buy it now as when he releases the beta it's going to be twice as much.

[tSwitch]

HALLOWEEN UPDATE CAN'T FUCKING WAIT.

[Landith]

Yeah I'm excited about it too.
Although I heard a rumor that he is changing the torches to last a certain amount of time and adding in lanterns which last forever but don't have as much light :/
Hope it's not true but I am excited to see what he plans to do with the fishing rod. A fishing minigame would be pretty cool.

[Diokatsu]

I tried again today. Thoroughly bored out of my mind. Why can't I get into this?

[stripe103]

Because you are a person who can't play a game which has absolutely no meaning about it

[Diokatsu]

Because you are a person who can't play a game which has absolutely no meaning about it

Untrue. I happen to love and enjoy Tetris.

[winkio]

a game which has absolutely no meaning about it

I cannot think of a game that I have played that doesn't fit into that category.

[stripe103]

What I meant was a game that don't have anything you need to achieve. Or finish or something. This is just like.. Dig, build.. dig some more.. kill some mobs.. build more. and then just continues in a loop.

[Landith]

Yes but the possibilities are endless!
You can farm for wheat, make bread. Make golden apples with gold and an apple. Make a bow with string you collect from spiders.
You basically make the world whatever you want!
Want to make a rollercoaster? Minecarts.
Want to make a boat ride? Boats + buckets of water + type of boundary.
Want to make a fort that you can shoot mobs out of? Bow + Fort + holes on side.

Like you can do so much if you just use your imagination. Right now I'm mining a 50 blocks diameter circle all the way to the bottom of the minecraft world. So far I'm at 6
After I get done I'm placing glass on top so you can walk on a huge pit.

Then I'm thinking about using the materials from it to create a monument.

Btw has anyone seen the Earth someone made in Minecraft? It's incredibly epic. Here

[Ryex]

to bad the server for that dosen't seem to be up any more or at least not available to free people

[tSwitch]

SMP isn't finished yet, but I'll be hosting a server when it is.

The point of the game, right now, is to dick around.  It's in alpha, presumably the score that you see when you die will mean something later on.

[Vell]

Survival Multiplayer -works- ...it's just buggy as all hell.

[Landith]

Yeah, especially the minecarts :/
You can't even place one because it bugs out and crashes the server.
I can't wait until the beta comes out and all the bugs are fixed.
Also color cloth blocks in survival would be fun so you could make different designs and color up the place.

[Vell]

health is also glitched - nothing takes damage. Better have it set to peaceful.

[element]

Also color cloth blocks in survival would be fun so you could make different designs and color up the place.

I second this.

Lol my PC should have been back from repairs by now.
Really like to play this game ^^

[tSwitch]

yeah, it's not finished yet.

[Ryex]

FUUUUUCK I died right underneath a mob spawner

[Landith]

Ouch :/

I got incredibly lucky one map that I spawned on sand a zombie spawner was like right below me and as soon as I spawned sand fell down and I was like WTF and it turned out to be a mob spawner. So what I did immediately was get a furnace, some coal and some sand and put torches around the mob spawner. Then I put glass all around and a door then I removed the torches, put a layer of dirt above the glass and let zombies spawn so I ended up having an infinite supply of feathers from the zombies. All I had to do was remove the layer of dirt and let the zombies burn

But unfortunately, the savefile got corrupted or something and was removed. One of the bugs in the Alpha :/
I should have backed up the map file.

[Vell]

Weirdest thing: a small patch of my game's world reset itself. I lost so much stuff which was in a chest in that area. I got -so- frustrated: Now I need to fix it all up and find gold, and iron again. I lost all my gold and iron. So annoying.

[element]

Soon i'll get a new PC.
I hope it runs the game.
Anyone knows how good the graphical card has to be to run this?

[Landith]

Not very good but you still need a decent computer because the java takes up so much memory. Like on my laptop I have to close everything because minecraft will run slow at ~500,000 k and my web browser takes up about 100,000-200,000 k so my computer runs slow then so just have good memory and possibly a good processor and you should be good. The graphic card can be shit. It's literally like 8-bit graphics.

Memory: ShowHide

That time my internet had a lot of stuff open so it was running a bit more than usual.

Also, I would like to post a screenshot of one of my to be homes:

new home?: ShowHide

[element]

TY for info

That is some epic map generation.
Lol @ snowball. Done with inv editor? or is there really snow in your map?

[Landith]

There was snow. I have like 10x 64 blocks of snow in a chest in my old house/cave thingy. IDK what happened but one day I joined my world and it wasn't snowing and the snow was gone. It kinda sucked cause I enjoyed the snow and it was my only snow world so far :/

Also I'm thinking about working on a roller coaster to wind through that mountain thing and once I'm through I'll make a youtube video of me going through it and what not. I'm thinking about making it go through my whole world if I have time.

I'll probably end up using invedit though to make things easier so I won't have to get tonss and tons more iron.

Also did the Halloween update come out yet? :/
Nevermind, just checked. Was wondering because my torches weren't going out yet but that was because he hasn't added that specific feature just yet.

[Ryex]

so I built a nether gate. it was under ground aways in a well designed gate room. I went it, climbed to a light stone formation collected a bunch of dust and left. for some reason I came out in a new gate a ways away from my base ABOVE GROUND! I use the same portal I came through why in earth did it creata a new gate? to test I went in through the new gate. I came out in the nether world from the first gate I exited the nether and came out in the new gate. then i went back to my first gate and went in. same gate in the nether world. i left and I cam out in the new gate again.

so the gate are linked like so


WTF?

[Landith]

There is bugs with the hell gates. Sometimes you go in one, come out and there isn't one behind you, etc...

[element]

You should check out the main forum.
People are freaking out becouse of all the bugs in the update, but you have to know that this game is just in alpha. There are games that are free in alpha and have lots of bugs and there are games like minecraft that cost half in alpha and have bugs.
The bugs will be fixed sooner or later.
For the Portal bug, see this:

Spoiler: ShowHide

Or even worse:

[Vell]

...How is that unlucky? It's like a free wellspring of tons of obsidian.

[Memor-X]

but the nether is also used for fast traval, in the images above, where each gate was suppsoed to be made it has a gap between them of 10 blocks, now for every block you traval in the nether you move 8 blocks on earth, so this means the 2nd image you have 160 blocks between the 2 gates on earth, if it repeats like this, it can be much further, not to mention that sometimes the gate can be spawned  in a undergound cave with no exit and a mob spawner just near by, you'll end up dying in no time unless you packing lots of food, a diamond sword and trucks loads of arrows and a bow

i've been playing this game for about a month, as of late i've been making a world with has the following

an apocolypic destroyed city that was created for Classic
2 areas generated by ZOMG
another area generated by ZOMG but with a building in the middle

i created a new world, exited and using MCEdit (link found on Minepedia) added the above areas, went back in and the generated areas and the city are much lower than the nornamlly genterated world so where the ruined city is, you'll die trying to fall off the cliff to there so i've build a tunnel from up high going undergound into the bottom of the building with minetracks all the way though it, so far i'm clearing out all the mobs in the building and re doing it's interior becayse ZOMG makes the inside of the building out of clay but i got truck loads of stone (smelted cobblestone) to replace the clay with, also got to figure out where the hell all the dam mobs are spawning from and light those areas up, been lucky a creeper hasn't blown up in there, but once i looked at the entire world in MCEdit and all around my generated stuff there's generated world so it looks like the area as suck into the ground and the ruin city as a gap on 2 of it's sides (where the cliff is)  and theres water going down there liek water falls, gives off the feeling that the city is Lei Monde from Vagrant Story

problem with ZOMG is that it creates levels for classic so you need MCEdit to add it into Alpha Worlds and that it doesn't seem to ever generate Redstone so if you want some you can't cheat by generation a huge block of it, you have to mine it in the normal generated worlds yourself

[Vell]

That post.

Skies above.

Grammar, boy, do you understand it?

[Landith]

Nor does he have any punctuation besides commas. Periods help too you know ;D

Also, eventually the bugs will be fixed but I still think the hell world is an amazing way to travel, find useful resources and eventually battle chaotic monsters

[Ryex]

I just finished building a sky tram. its has an advanced junction system that makes sure that there will be a cart ready no matter what station you get on or off at. if you hop off the cart will keep going until it gets back to the station you left from where it will wait for another ride.  i'll make a video to show case it in the next week or so.

Well then, here is the instructions.

2. In the folder go to the path .minecraft/saves
3. Then just copy the desired world.

Hmm. I just tried it online. Fairly interesting. Not sure if it's worth $13, though. Maybe I'll get it if you all promise to play the game with me so I'm not lonely. Also:

I plan on playing on a smp server with friends. Though i still need to find one.
Ofcourse i'll play with you ^^

[stripe103]

Chaos Project Minecraft Server... That would be cool
One Survival and one Creative. Wow..

[Blizzard]

*runs away from this topic*

[element]

That would Rule Indeed.

I do have a problem, when i try to start minecraft.exe i get the "could not create the java virtual machine" error -_-

[stripe103]

then, if you have bought it, try to run it in your browser instead.

I also have a problem, though that is probably because if the computer. Minecraft lags like hell. the strange thing is, Mirrors edge, with all its fancy graphics, run just fine.

@Blizzard
Lol. not much more to say.

[element]

I did buy it and am playing it in browser.
But the site is much overloaded.

So i'm looking for a fix for the problem.

[stripe103]

Do you have the latest version of Java installed on your computer, And are you allowing it to use the internet?

[element]

Found what was ruining it, It was bitdefenders firewall.

Think we have to look for a smp server to start the cp mc madness 

[stripe103]

What does SMP stand for anyway?

[WhiteRose]

Bought the game. Definitely pretty fun. +1 vote for CP server.

[Kett Shee]

And one more reason why I hate HughesNet. ;-;

[element]

smp == Survival Multi Player.
Basicly just not creation server but survival, with creepers and stuff.
Smp sounds perfect for cp actually.

@rose Nice! Have fun playing^^ when bored just ask for online :p.

[Ryex]

totally want a smp server to play on I'm starting to get rather board of building alone

[RoseSkye]

Rose you'll get bored after a few days.

[WhiteRose]

Rose you'll get bored after a few days.

Thank you for those words of confidence.

[Subsonic_Noise]

Thank you for those words of confidence.

I believe he was talking to himself about a completely different topic and it only ended up here by chance.

[WhiteRose]

*Walks in, checks for update on CP server, sees none, leaves*

[element]

Maybe we should ask someone that could host a server.
Anyone has a server available?

[stripe103]

Ryex. Can you send the save that you posted videos on before? I really want that.

[Diokatsu]

It's going to cost money to host a server, so who is going to pay for it? Does anyone like this game THAT much?

[element]

does it cost to run a server?

[stripe103]

Other than electricity, no.

[element]

that's what i thought
And maybe there's someone that is already running a server for a game, maybe we could use some space of it...

[Ryex]

if you want a server that will be up all the time then yes, it will cost 20$ a month or more

[stripe103]

If you have a server at home, the only thing that will cost is as I said the electricity and the internet connection. But the internet you are paying anyway.

[Subsonic_Noise]

If you have a server at home, the only thing that will cost is as I said the electricity

I assume you never lived alone and payed your own electricity?

[stripe103]

Nope, I haven't(though I can imagine), but I mean if you already have a computer that is on most time, you can have the server there. You don't get any additional cost for having a program running..

[element]

Maybe we should just look for a almoast plane smp server and make our cp place there...

[Diokatsu]

Are you implying that you want to run a server based from your home? Do any of you even know how that works?

[Ryex]

I do, not the best idea

[stripe103]

Are you implying that you want to run a server based from your home?

No, I am not.

Do any of you even know how that works?

Yes I do. I played with a friend a while ago. Though my father didn't like me going into the router to open up the needed port.

[WhiteRose]

What about a Hamachi server? That would be pretty easy to set up, and would keep your computer relatively safe. Only downside is that you'd need to have internet and power to the computer whenever people wanted to play. Just a thought.

[Ryex]

well minecraft has reached beta and SMP is done and stable. dose that mean a cp server will forthcoming?

[tSwitch]

WE WILL HAVE CAKE.

[WhiteRose]

well minecraft has reached beta and SMP is done and stable. dose that mean a cp server will forthcoming?

I don't think it's a question of the state of Minecraft; I think it's more an issue of finding someone willing to pay for a server or host it himself. If someone were to set up a server, though, I'd definitely join. I think it would be a lot of fun.

[element]

Beleave it or not, I HAVE a server though there are problems.
I only play on it with friends from school, the ip changes every day and i aint getting a static one, it can hold not more then 10 people

[tSwitch]

Tom has a server with a whitelist, give me your names in PM if you want to be added to it.  We run Runecraft but that's the only real mod.  We just restarted the server after the new year so it's pretty fresh.

[stripe103]

I would if my computer weren't too slow. It's almost impossible for me to play minecraft online. I'm trying to find a way to make it run faster, without changing hardware(its a laptop so it is a bit hard..).

[Ryex]

defrag

[tSwitch]

defrag your registry too.

[WhiteRose]

I would if my computer weren't too slow. It's almost impossible for me to play minecraft online. I'm trying to find a way to make it run faster, without changing hardware(its a laptop so it is a bit hard..).

Try adding RAM; I know you said that you weren't changing hardware, but most laptops have an access door to allow you to easily add more RAM. It's really very simple, and can massively increase performance.

[stripe103]

I have 4 GB ram on a 32bit system so I can't get any more. And I said that also because of it being my school laptop and I'm not allowed to change anything.

@ Ryex and NAM
I'll try it but I doubt that it works since I think its java that just take much system resources.

[Ryex]

what? I'm talking about your hard drive. the hard drive is the slowest piece of hardware in any computer by an order of magnitude. defragmenting it can significantly improve it's speed.

google defraggler, download it, and defragment your hard drive. let it run over night as it will likely take a while and you can't really do anything other that use the internet while it is running

[stripe103]

Ahh... well, it might be needed

Spoiler: ShowHide

[Ryex]

well actually 3% isn't that bad I was at 17% when I ran it yesterday

[tSwitch]

Win7 auto defrags if that's what you're running.

[Ryex]

windows defrag sucks

[Zeriab]

Maybe the graphics are purely software rendered. That would perfectly explain the crappy performance.

Win7 auto defrags if that's what you're running.

Does it also do that for SSD harddrives?

[WhiteRose]

Maybe the graphics are purely software rendered. That would perfectly explain the crappy performance.

No, it disables auto-defrag by default if it detects an SSD.

[Ryex]

there really isn't any point is defraging a SSD is there? the seek time are by virtue non existent so all defragmenting would do is wear down the flash memory and make it fail sooner

Maybe the graphics are purely software rendered. That would perfectly explain the crappy performance.

ya it almost certainly is.

[stripe103]

Right; that's why he was asking. You had said that it was automatic, so he was wondering if it would still occur with an SSD even though it would have no benefit.

[Ryex]

actually NAM said it was automatic but details details.

windows defrag sucks

used to anyway, Defraggler couldn't really do much better the few times I ran it on this system, maybe 3-4% max.

Have someone ever told you that you are placing the doors the wrong way? You need to place the doors from the outside of your hideout, so that you can stand in the door opening and hit monsters on the other side without opening the door.

[element]

Actually never heard that before.
I always put them this way becouse I think it looks better xD
Thanks for the advice ! 

[Kagutsuchi]

Np, I saw tons of videos of other people playing minecraft before I started playing ^^ And that trick something I picked up.

[element]

I almost changed all my doors to the way you described
So, wa'd you think of the series?

[Taiine]

I recently started playing minecraft and I love it.
In fact, here is an AMAZING Seed you guys have to check out.

-1784338777788894343

Including the - at the start.

It makes an amazing world, floating lands, waterfalls and lava flows, large towering hills and many huge caves and paths though these hills. The shadows from such make it a challenge as enemies that spawn at night can chill in these large shadowed areas and make exploration much more interesting.

Try to find the pumpkin on the small floating stick of land.

This has been my map of choice to build on.

[stripe103]

About a half minute and I found the pumpkin.. strange place for it to be on lol.
But yeah, it is a really awesome map! I think I'll start building on this as well. Maybe changing the seed a bit though.

[Kagutsuchi]

In the latest update, Notch created something called "seeds" which is basically a string which decides what kind of map you spawn on.
Try "The Eternal Saga" if you want an awesome desert map (Without the ")

[element]

I got something epic when i typed e1ement
the -1784338777788894343 gives just woods with me

[Taiine]

When you use a seed, you always spawn the same map, but your spawn location may be in another location, though close to the normal starting point set (approx 255 blocks) you may have to walk around a bit to find the hills. When I first spawned on it I was on a beach and had to do a small walk to get to the hills.


That pumpkin is fun, see there's two coal below it? It's like a rocket!
