So, i've still been playing a lot on my vanilla server and i have reached that point where very few things are a challenge. I recently went into the nether to hunt for some wither skulls and the little jumps of fear made me realise that the overworld is really boring. Sure, there are creepers there,...

I just don't like the logic behind that skeleton boost though. "This ranged mob is more dangerous the closer I get to it!" Just... yeah. You'd think you'd be at a disadvantage when fighting them from range, not the other way around. Yeah, I must admit that kind of balance is pretty lame a...

Let us know how the lego case goes :)

I've got 2 raspberry Pi's for a job a friend has given me but i've been a little lazy, mainly surrounding my lack of casing for the little thing. I cannot believe i never thought of the lego thing before!

My advice is: pick brands you trust. While this is an often debated topic among enthusiasts, i can offer my own recommendations: Motherboard: Asus and Gigabyte are two brands i trust in this area. As far as ports, i always like to have Crossfire / SLI an option, so try to get a system that has 2 PCI...

SMP Server: Remove all Villagers, remove all farms, remove all tall grass and normal grass... With the occasional drop of a carrot or potato from zombies that would ruin the whole idea, it could be an interesting premise of a "Wasteland" style world where your only option to survive is to ...

Or tell them to, you know...play their own fucking game :)

OMG. The lag is horrendous! That machine i complained about before that replaced my farm (machine gun farm), if i run it on any level of smooth lighting, the game turns into the most stuttery piece of shit... and that is on a SMP so the redstone logic isn't even being handled locally. I normally cru...

Kebobs.. i mean... Kebabs. yay!

It's sad i feel i have to say this, but it's true. Pre 1.5: I built an underground farm for convenient access to a wheat / carrot / spud farm. It is functional, reliable and requires some TLC but it saves time. http://imgur.com/ebGN2o6l.png 1.5 http://imgur.com/FXE300tl.png Previous farm redundant. ...

The thing i'm worried about is Mojang only offering specific services and fucntions on their "Realms" that can't be obtained through the normal server module. i.e: The idea of portals to jump to other worlds. If private servers are unable to do this and it becomes an exclusive "premiu...

I obviously don't speak for everyone, but I reckon noone here really gives a flying fuck about 1.5 here. Kudos FC I only care about 1.5 because i like automation and i have been playing on a MP server with some friends who don't like BTW. With 1.5, i get a few of my old automation functions back th...

Yeah i'm in the same boat. I need to play catch up. So much to explore man. I only skipped playing for one update (the last one), and I still have a ton of stuff to discover right now. On that note...I just noticed there are now dirt paths in Don't Starve. Probably totally be a coincidence, but sti...

All this talk about the "Fat" system has suddenly gotten this song stuck in my head.

Oh no, I don't mean if they're sitting, just if you happen to be hunting with them. Anyways, it's irrelevant as I did not roll with the idea, was just an amusing aside ;) I was actually making a cheap stab at the disgusting habits of dogs and how they are even known to consume anothers poop. Cats a...

Hmmm. I haven't played it in a few months. Time to fire it up again and see where it's at.

Maybe it's just me, but when I see all that entity stacking, all I can think is that someone at Mojang decide to clean up the code that minecarts/boats/spider jockeys/saddled pigs use and centralize it for cleaner code. As a result the have a versatile system allowing for any manner of entities rid...

I guess Charcoal has an additional use now for the image obsessed Steve. Hehe...would it surprise you to know that at one point in the design process I almost had Steve vomiting up his hunger meter under certain circumstances? Of course, wolves would run over and eat it if present ;) Well if you ar...

Actually, I think I hit it right on by referring to it as "fat" above. Yeah, I'm going to rework satisfaction/saturation to be replaced by a concept of fat, with a little fat being a good thing as it effectively increases your food storage, and a lot of fat having associated penalties. De...

I think it's only intriguing in a "I just took intro to programming! Looks what I can do!" way. Yeah, i saw some video of a Spawner minecraft that spawns TNT with a normal Minecart on Top that could be ridden by a player, so the result was some kind of bastardized Minecart Rocket. Dafuq? ...

Jens BergenstenVerified account ‏@jeb_ @bmann_2 There will be new mobs in 1.6, but not 1.5 https://twitter.com/jeb_/status/304301377818066944 My bet is on mice. You know, 1 heart and no use at all, found in caves... More seriously, new mobs possibly means new automations to achieve (thx to BTW) if ...

I'll see how i go. May not be able to, pretty flat out with other things.

Ladies and Gentlemen: It's city building time!

Yeah, I'm up for some non-anarchy play TBH. Constantly building for the paranoia was a bit of fun for a bit, but in a way i feel it kind of stifled my creativity as resources were too precious and i didn't want to waste anything going to the surface. Some co-op play could be a fresh change. I will m...

From a development perspective, are you going to try and develop Solo or if funding permits, are you going to rope in / hire other developers to help build it? Seems like a massive project. I'm glad to hear you are going down this path. Doing it as a mod is so counter-productive considering the cur...
