it was my favorite idea... but it's reward is primarily aesthetic, and the effort to create a system to define the air in minecraft is potentially abhorrent. furthermore, more than half the blocks your system loads at any one time will be air. to take control of that air would more than double the s...

on top of the time waste of adding a UI to planters, dirt/sand/soulsand really isn't that valuable. i'd be happy to lose them if i could re-use my planters in some way.

yep, you need to 're-encode' the file. i'm not sure how you are capturing it, but it sounds like it's creating a video which is uncompressed. if you use a program like the one available here http://www.h264encoder.com/ you should be able to get the file size down to a few 100mb's per 20 mins. i thin...

call me a loser, but i enjoyed learning some of the things i learned in high school. maths, science and literature were always pretty interesting to me. of course, these days i work as an administrative assistant for a small retail business and don't use a single thing that i learned... but i'm stil...

epicest epicness everest... i don't wanna wait for the final 8 episodes :(

The first time the yogs screamed in my ears, it was kinda fun and funny. that feels like years ago now, and everytime someone else does it, i blame yogs and utter curses against their names (which i cannot respectfully utter). In all seriousness, I just find them a little bit repetitive, kinda like ...

Detritus, I too was astounded! For everyone else, ABC stands for the Australian Broadcasting Commission, a purely government funded, non-profit media outlet who generally maintain a relatively neutral political bias. The idea that they obtained the rights to show every Australian the first episode o...

hehe, you certainly just gave me a hardcore bone.

my only problem is that thanks to the new mouldings system, i'm going to have to re-evaluate my whole style of architecture... i can't wait! =D thanks FC!!

i'm very interested to see what you do to fight the old 'zerg rush' technique. so many ways to fight that problem, so many attempts by AAA studio's, so many failures. good thing the sandbox nature of minecraft is on your side. i didn't even know that ender chests worked that way in vanilla, but the ...

dude, thanks for maintaining your seemingly inexhaustible level of awesomeness.

nice work. i only watched the first three episodes but i enjoyed them and will watch more later.

you ought to check out this forum: http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/ they're a rather alternative crowd, but very friendly. you will find people committed to discussing almost any question you can possibly imagine, from personal problems to advanced particle physics. i've personally found 'the dark side' ...

very cool! i love caves, although i've only been in maybe 5 proper ones. that lighting must have made it unbelievably beautiful... happy birthday to your significant other!! :)

*makes mental note to suggest stalactites and stalagmites once block id limit is extended*

suggestions will not be considered unless a relevant and well established meme can be provided

the first rule of better than wolves is that you do not post suggestions about better than wolves... the second rule of better than wolves is that YOU DO NOT POST SUGGESTIONS ABOUT BETTER THAN WOLVES! the third rule; no trolls, no noobs, no jerks. fourth rule; do not argue with flowerchild and the f...

personally, if i was to try and make minecraft food more balanced, i'd be more likely to change how it's obtained rather than how it effects the player. instead of a nutrition system, i'd make babies require food to grow into adults... and lots of it. chickens would require less food to grow up than...

i think i just broke my record for most times re-watching a youtube video. that was classic

if i get a vote, i too vote for hibachi wiring guy... i've searched for that thread at least 5 times while wiring up a new hibachi setup. i still screw it up unless i can look at his pic.

i'm so glad i didn't go through with my 'tin foil hat' suggestion =D

yes, yes it did. it's one of the most unbalanced games i've ever played, and the multiplayer was just plain stupid. the way it worked was like this... play by yourself and the game is fairly easy and rewarding until you reach the last difficulty at which point you must farm each act roughly 1000 tim...

the original post and the wiki-page seem at odds. perhaps i just mis-understood. i thought you wanted to emulate the simplistic designs on the minecraft wiki, like different redstone gates and such. if the BTW wiki builds page only showed things like "turntable pulsers" and "block dis...

i can't join this conversation without becoming political or speaking hate against religion... i've tried so many times but what you're talking about touches too closely on modern life. goddamnit!

I just had the most awesome image in my head of what the box art for BTW would look like. Perhaps a talented artist can convey the idea as it should be. There's a poster of lego-blocks with a real life mans face bursting through it covered in placenta with teeth bared, a bone between them. At the to...

it's amazing how people can't stop posting new idea's with their first post. you'd think they would learn that merely creating a new account does not help their cause. that sword durability idea could actually carry some weight coming from someone whose been told to shut up a few times, and might ev...

just quickly first, i never gather glue from any source other than leather, as i always have a massive cow farm running. i find the balance between the leather you need and the glue you need to be pretty good if cows are your only source. initially you have to choose wisely, or end up waiting for co...
