Also, live birds/rabbits will have a use later on. There is a thread complaining about the new trap mechanics, try them out for yourselves and you'll see how they've changed. Hatching tallbirds is quite cool. Considering Wilsons selection screen image has him empting the contents of a mysterious vi...

Well, I was admittedly not at all mature about it the other night when I went into the Forge channel and raged at Lex about it ;) http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/lexmanos-vs-flower-child-forge-is-now-run-by-nazis.32725/ I'm not sure if it is accurate but it seems to be a log of what happened ...

On Twitter, jeb posted this: As of today I will take the lead role for Minecraft: Pocket Edition, as well as the PC version. I have some catching up to do... Someone replied with: I truly miss when minecraft used to have one objective and every update didn't truly complicate things. Try to keep it s...

Not sure how I feel about them basically discouraging people from being dark as a result. Well that depends. If Krampus can drop something valuable or key to a certain development tree, then it could be an interesting way to give the player a fork in their development tree. If done well, it could b...

Pls remember that minecraft is "little " java game. Its the style of the game like the graphics, it feels like an old retro game so you can't put in a RSE. No, he's right. The graphics would've sucked back in '89 too and the note-blocks sound a LOT worse than most 1980's sound chips. That...

Batman is OP. He has no weakness, his technology goes above and beyond a lot of superpowers out there, he has infinite resourses and has emergency plans to defeat any of the most powerful superheroes out there, including Superman. We don't talk of the "George Clooney" Batman days. Like St...

If it weren't for hardcore spawn, i would have already put myself on a chopping block just so i could give myself my own head.

edit: hmmm. Just noticed my innuendo. Totally unintended, but funny.

Superman = The Jebification of the Superhero industry. But yeah, that is the same reason i never got into superman. It especially got stupid with computer game implementations. Either Superman had to be nerfed with weaknesses and health thus being inconsistent with the comic / movies we have perceiv...

Probably not so much a BTW thing. I think FC mentioned something about this with RTH that would also include no creative mode or something. Besides, if you want to lock the challenge, try running a private SMP server. I use to think that the no-pause thing would be too hard but i soon found that log...

The team over at Extra Credits ALWAYS hit the nail on the head when it comes to game design. Worth a watch (In fact, all of Extra Credits is a great watch, this is just the most relevant to this topic): So you Wanna be a Developer (Part 1): http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/so-you-want-to-be-a-de...

Okay, I have VERY mixed feelings about this. Dinnerbone made the following tweet: https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/276777823996366848 saying "This is what I originally added the Anvil for. Finally had a chance to sit down and add it!". And below is a screenshot of said feature: http:/...

Supports the "Oh, It's cool and pretty! Must Add" theory of Mojang operations.
Other than some flare system, i see no practical use for this.

...unless it can be directed and deals damage. Hmmm..... where have i seen this before....

Here's you're solution
edit: Just read mc_dunedin's post. You beat me to it.

I'm about to fire up "Year of the Flood" by Margaret Atwood. I loved "Oryx and Crake" and my Wife just finished reading Year of the Flood and she is dying for me to read it so she can start gas bagging to me about it.

Ok guys, just an FYI that I won't be answering any further questions on the nature of Home in this thread. I've already given you a lot to speculate about, and if you'd like to discuss it amongst yourself, I'd ask you to take it to another thread. You have really sent your fan base into a buzz with...

Just decided to google it and have a read. Ugh.... what a load of dribble. So glad i haven't had to sit through it and that BTW disables it. And if you are wondering why i haven't killed an Enderdragon yet, it is because i haven't played enough single player to actually get to the stage that i am re...

I'm personally more interested in Notch's future games, rather than Mojang's, because yeah, Scrolls and Cobalt do nothing to excite me, and I feel they totally fail to build upon the fan base or design concepts that are such a big part of MC. Notch's new space game though, DOES look intriguing, as ...

I have two wild theories: 1: The worlds we currently play in now are a kind of afterlife. This is why every time Steve dies, he just comes back again. There is no dying in the afterlife. The Return home is actually a return to the real world, and the horrific noises we hear are actually the Overworl...

How can you all get to day 30+ in your second try? I already played about 10 games and I always end up killed by bees, spiders or hounds after 5-10 days. This game is bad for impatient people :P Use Pigs. Get them to cut the trees down then if a treeant spawns, it attacks the Pigs and not you. Coll...

and now I'm sad. That was a pretty fizzler response from Dinnerbone. Oh dear.

Attempt 1: 8 days. Found a Treeant. Missed clicked and started chopping adjacent tree instead of attacking. Got Flattened. Attempt 2: Still alive. Day 31. Currently down to about 10 health and away from main camp. Thought i would take on a beehive with my two pigs (was happy for them to die). Sadly,...

This is interesting. I'd like to see how this turns out in the end. Yeah. I'm going to keep a close eye on this conversation too. I've actually wondered why this kind of conversation hasn't begun earlier. Looks like the Hardcore changes and their motications have finally hit the point where enough ...

Alright. I'm back. What'd i miss?

Can't wait! Nice.
