Minecraft Thread

ah blast it all, might just be me here then. Oh well.

 

Letters that take you somewhere else on the internet

 

I watch the Yogscast. IMO, they are probably the most engaging out of all minecraft let's play makers ( no offence to you bloo ). They just have a different take on minecraft with their series "Shadow of Israphel" by creating a 'story adventure' which sets itself apart from the others out there.

 

When I hear "Lets Play", it's playing the game. Not adding some player made story to the game. Yogscast, for that reason, is a Machinima. A very well run machinima.

So you can't compare Yogscast to Lets Players such as myself.

(I take no offense to your post though. I just figured I point it out)

 

For anyone that didn't already know/see this pic, It appears that in 1.8 Minecraft will have an EXP and Hunger system in it. (Also, the Modding API will make it possible to set the map height up to 512, which is what the picture's actually about).



And thus, the only reason I use twitter.

 

I saw that picture when it was posted on facebook, but the picture had the health and exp and hunger bar blocked out, you could only see above the Hand.

That's pretty damn awesome though. A decent exp system. I know some will be disappointed at it, but I'm pretty damn excited.

 

I honestly don't know how an exp system will factor in though. Will a certain character have a rank/level? And then there is the question of what 'perks' will a higher level give?

 

Its not just the Modding API. I thought he was trying to make all maps 512?

 

I'm pretty sure that it's still going to just be 128 unless you mod it.

 

I believe I read on his tumblr he wanted to make all maps 512. Current maps would have air above the current 128 and stone below the current 0.

 

Bloo I think that Yogscast's other let's play's are more like what you are talking about, pretty much only their shadow of israphel stuff is like a machinima.

But I get where you are coming from so I wont push that matter any more.

Anyways, having a 512 sky limit would be much nicer than what it is now, it would also allow me to expand my sky pillar to be massive. Currently it just looks like a 7 story pagoda on top of a pillar of rock equally tall. I'll have to post some pics when I finish the last bit of it.

 

My lets play. Constructive criticism please.

Also I think Notch want's to make maps 512 but he isn't sure yet, and after all he was just experimenting just like he was experimenting with the sky dimension. He is probably just going to include the Aether as he obviously knows about it by now. (It was on the front page) But he is just telling people that he is considering it, and it's not set in stone.

 

I don't know if it was just the capturing or if it was actually ingame, but it seemed like there were some visual glitches involving leaves in the video.

That's directed at Legit Taco

 

Indeed. For instance, Seananner's Let's Play series was nanners running vanilla minecraft and just playing the game, essentially. The Yogscast 'Shadow of Israphael,' as mentioned, was nothing short of a lengthy Minecraft machinima.

 

Hmmm It was just near the beginning, after that it was fine.

 

***** be looking scary.

 

Why is there a ghast in the not-nether?

 

They can spawn in the real world next to nether gates.

 

****.

My Nether gate is right next to my massive wooden mansion..
