MineCraft

Yes, now it has a -con and merchandising.

It had a -con in 2010.

That I didn't go to. Because I don't think I cared in 2010. I never clicked on the Minecraft videos until a couple years later. Now I play it sometimes.

I'm starting to get really scared. I tried Minechat, which has my login info pre-set, and it didn't work. If that didn't work, it means I've probably had my account stolen!

minechat is safe, i used to use it

I know it's safe, what I meant was, my information is pre-set on it, so that I don't re-enter it every time I use minechat. If minechat didn't work, it means that my minecraft login information was changed. Since I didn't change my login info, this means someone else did it. Which means that my account was probably stolen.

So through having a friend that's really good at command blocks but can't build for shit, I am halfway to earning a mapmaker cape (Given out to people who have multiple maps added to Realms). Map isn't live yet, but its been approved.

Cool. Mapmaking has really grown since 1.7. I've tried building maps, but using command blocks is really difficult when you try to get complex about it.

So what do ya'll think about the new big update?

[Wallenburg]

1.9? I think it is revolutionary for mapmakers and vanilla modders, but doesn't really do much for gameplay. I'm sort of hesitant to update to 1.9 in full, since I enjoy being able to spam kill mobs.

It seems to me it's better than jumping around something and spamming whatever button one uses to swing their sword at it. Though, how the shield functions might be a bit weird, considering Minecraft.

Since it seemed like such a big update for the PC, I can only hope for banners on my PS3 version.

Honestly my favorite part of the combat mechanics revamp was watching the pvp community try to defend spamming the mouse button as minecraft's core gameplay and acting that changing that would be the death of the game. They're almost as funny as the small handful of mapmakers who consider what they do "game development".

The core gameplay is mining cubular rocks, crafting hoes, and watching grass grow. There's even a Peaceful Mode where you don't need no damned sword for anything but animal slaughtering. It's just a part of the gameplay of MineCraft, a name which says just about almost everything about the game.

In a stretch of the abstract thought processes, it's kinda game development. Ya know, Minecraft is like programming with Java or something, and they're creating a world with it's own story.

I know Java. I know (Some) command blocking. Command block programming is nothing like Java. Game development is only marginally similar to minecraft map making.

The key words was 'In a stretch of the abstract thought processes'.

I wish I was better at command blocks, but know I can't put in the time to learn how to use them at the moment, and I've already got a pile of things I want to get done.

C'est la vie, I guess. Better than being bored!

Well, 1.10 is out! Pretty quick development, although most of the new stuff is not all that game-changing.

I've developed a strange obsession to build a giant mine.

Benn going well, hit bedrock 3 times though.

[New haven america]

So I found a cave in my mine... might be endless, haven't found an endpoint after 2 days of searching.

Also, lava.

Those are the best.

I am a big cave builder with all my projects.

Can't stand being in caves, or artificial mineshafts. It's so creepy to me.

I like them, except when I run out of torches, then I have to make more to enjoy the experience.

I get that feeling too sometimes.

For about three or so years, abandoned mineshafts were death traps for me. Now, whenever I want to raid a mineshaft, I go in decked out and ready to kick ass.

You just don't know what's around the corner, ultimately. Things can drop down on you, an arrow out of the dark, a freshly placed torch instantly exposing a hostile face. The ambient sounds, the moans and clatter of bones, the clsksk of the spider. A set of red eyes, an imagining of something in the dark far away. My mind wanders. And my eyes see it.

One has to be ready for poisonous spiders, creeper explosions, getting caught in a waterfall with zombies. And lava. Lava can kill anyone unprepared and who is not cautious.

I've just given up on the fear of death in those areas.

I can't stand the look of torches. I use glow stone, red stone lambs, and those sea lights whenever I can.

I recently discovered this little jewel of Indie gaming after a friend referred me to it; after which it was featured in my favorite gaming magazine. After messing with it a bit and sinking about $15 into it I really started to get addicted to this puzzle, construction, action, adventure game. Now I'm hooked; when I'm not on NSG its Minecraft, when I'm unable to get online I am scheming about new things to build or new ways to use the various features of the game to build fortifications, traps, and mazes to keep the undead from entering my fortress/mine/farm/home/etc.

The of course there is the exploring the huge random generated game worlds and fighting the various creatures in hidden dungeons around the world. Or multiplayer where you get together with friends and build entire towns and cities together... in short its the best $15 I ever spent.

Is there anyone else who has experienced MineCraft? Whats your thoughts or opinions?

Throwback to the original post, people were wondering when survival multiplayer was a thing
