Anyways, it thus seem rather muddy to me to both improve their speed and introduce additional downsides simultaneously given the problem is that they're severely underpowered at present. Granted, my approach would be to nerf the shit out of everything else (as I have with BTW), rather than power up...

Can you be any clearer on how it actually helps gameplay though? Reading your description, it sounds more like an overall nerf to carts, when they're already underpowered relative to other modes of transport, rather than improving their viability, but maybe I'm missing something there. I have appar...

So, I have played with the new minecart stuff in creative... I didn't really get a grasp on how many powered rails it took to get to full speed, but it seems like a decent bit more than it was previously. Minecarts will derail pretty easily, but you can either slow them down with an off powered rail...

Gotta say, from what I saw of the new minecart physics, the new possibility of derailing is kinda cool. Though the buff is ridiculous, they did add a downside to it. I mean, it does nothing really, considering you just need to place blocks at certain points to prevent derailing from doing anything, ...

That comment by Notch was from 2009; so, by "finite water" I think he meant the system we have now.

Evil Minecraft had giant evil chickens, yeah. Evil Minecraft has been dead since 1.2.5; they made it open-source, but now you can't even access that, since it has been dead for so long. Also, though not nearly as ridiculous or evil as Evil Minecraft's, the Cubed mod has large versions of all mobs. T...

Will lava/water play a bigger/smaller role in RTH?

Water is really important in late BTW, whereas lava get's the short end of the shaft, not being used for much at all besides it's vanilla uses.

You can now launch older versions of minecraft in 1.7. All the way up to alpha and classic. I only seemed to be able to get beta. Perhaps I should make a bug report :) Rather nice of them to provide functionality that was already available in the form of external tools. Why they felt they needed to...

Thank you for "fixing" the creepers. I have died to falling creepers quite a few times; possibly because I love extreme hills :) Really looking forward to playing; i've been a bit burnt out on Minecraft/Better Than Wolves recently, but I really want to play with the hunger changes, along w...

Hostlegend, if you are willing to wait for the ddosing to stop.

Creeperhosting is pretty good, as well.

The fact that each have their own texture also makes it a good tool for machinima/adventure map makers.

That kind of makes sense but shouldn't the shock infantry be of a higher ratio than the archers, cavalry and sappers in the army arrayed against you? Mojang makes less sense to me every day. Pretty sure Mojang doesn't know much about warfare. They are pretty good at Quake, though. They are at least...

OR like this skele here they can disguise themselves as other mobs to take you by surprise. I didn't even know skeles could pick objects up tbh. One of the first things when I started logging into the official server regularly again was a skeleton wearing full iron armor and swinging an iron sword ...

So I'm going to ask the question on everyone's lips since I'm stuck at work and away from MC... Are Bales a wheat storage block? Hay Bales don't have a recipe yet. But I imagine Mojang will add a recipe in another snapshot. It seems safe to assume that the Hay Bale will be a wheat storage/decorativ...

I always look forward to the snapshots. Even if I hate the features or changes they are making, they are usually interesting to mess around with when I have nothing better to do.

I, before hardcore hunger, would keep my farm going in 1 instance, playing the snapshot in another.

I think Dinnerbone is doing what's safe instead of what's good for gameplay. It's safe to add new features, because some people (aforementioned 8-14 year-olds) get mad when old features are changed. He may also, due to being a previous bukkit dev, be doing what's safe and lazy because he knows someo...

The one nice bit of balance with the pig riding was the way it cost food, even the lower amount they went with, meaning rails were more efficient in the long term. Hope they can remember that for horses. Those brutes eat an unbelievable amount even when they aren't doing any work. If the horses cos...

I am pretty sure Flowerchild will stay on 1.4.7 for quite a long time. 1.5 isn't worth updating for.

Reason for wanting to join: I am fairly new to BTW, so I will most likely learn faster with other people. Well, that, and I get really bored in SSP after a while.

Edit:Yes, I have read the rules, as well as the rest of the entire thread. I have no idea how I forgot to put this in.
