Author Topic: Minecraft Megathread; yeah its update 1.12 big whoop what about it  (Read 6812910 times)

The part that saddens me is that whenever they add new stuff, it just uses old content.

New mushroom island biome? Well sure it introduces new dirt, but it's still pretty much just dirt. Sure it introduces new cows, but they still just give beef and leather. There's really nothing new to gain from it except for different dirt.
An entirely new world. The end. What's in it? Worthless endstone and one kind of overland mob, the enderman. Oh and some weak boss which gives you a worthless item, and a bunch of magical enchantment orbs. (can't possibly be exp and levels, because all you do is enchant stuff with it)
Oh, and a bunch of redstone stuff.
>endstone
>worthless
haha
it actually has a higher explosion resistance rating than cobble so

What depth is redstone at? I'll probably fish around at that depth.

Sure it introduces new cows, but they still just give beef and leather.

Pffff ahahahahahaha.

Mooshrooms give Mushroom Soup instead of Milk. Soup heals 4 hunger points.

They are pretty not useless

All ores can be found at level 1-16, and most people mine around level 12 so they don't dig into a lava pool but still have all ores available to them.

How deep are diamonds/redstone?
I've been trying to find some but they've been eluding me.

Diamonds are pretty rare if you're not spelunking, but redstone can easily be found just by digging around for a bit.

Diamond spawns from y1-y16
Redstone y1-y17

It's best to dig two strip mines. Out ay 17-18 and one at 11-12

I've gone spelunking.
I didn't find any diamonds.
I got a 64 stack of redstone.
I don't know what day it is anymore.
Looted a dungeon.

why cant we create redstone blocks? :(

i have a huge overabundance of them in storage.

Someone suggested Redstone Blocks to Jeb in that they could be used as moveable redstone signal and he seemed to like the idea.

Although it probably wouldn't be storage blocks for redstone. What about coal and such?

Got diamonds. :D
Four diamonds.

i stopped doing strip mines because they take way more work to create and only fill double chests with cobblestone that never gets used.

cave exploring has gotten me more diamonds/redstone/gold/everything than anything.

Wrong. The mushroom biome is basically an infinite mushroom-based food source. Plus, shearing cows gives you red mushrooms.

I wouldn't call it a "weak boss" though. There are healing towers everywhere and the player has to take them all out before facing the dragon. That or keep hitting it and hope to get lucky. The dragon itself is weak, yeah, but that's the whole reason those towers are there. Plus, with all the endermen around, it's a little annoying to basically have to look up all of the time or else they come after you. You can bring a pumpkin, but they're a pain in the ass to see through.

However one could say that it's not "real difficulty", just tedious work. On that aspect, I agree.


Oh, and a bunch of redstone stuff.

Takes a lot of ignorance to not realize the importance of one redstone mechanic introducing double the capabilities of what you can do in minecraft, while also lessening the job of what's already possible. I'm no redstone expert, but I'm more than positive recent redstone developments will prove very useful.

Only thing I wish is that redpower-like mechanics were introduced, so I would have to stop waiting for goddamn Eloraam to update it fhsdgn.

Any good servers up? preferably medium population.

For all that TNT I see being launched,
better find the end and get all that end stone to protect myself from all those tnt cannons.
Because nothing else is even a threat.

Pffff ahahahahahaha.

Mushroom soup also isn't new, and takes quite a bit of inventory space.

Wrong. The mushroom biome is basically an infinite mushroom-based food source. Plus, shearing cows gives you red mushrooms.
Mushrooms also aren't new, nor useful, nor dynamic in any form.
There's also the fact that I've had overabundances on many servers without even finding a mushroom island.

I do understand that for someone who would want mushrooms, it would be useful. But there really isn't a need to make so many new things, while some how, not really bringing in any new things. A new biome could've done lots of exciting things. But no. It's just new dirt and different cows that give you stuff we already had.

I don't even understand the issue with the towers. They are non-moving targets and die in 1 shot of anything. The dragon can't even hurt you because if it comes in close you can just melee it and it stops to spin around for god only knows what reason. The pumpkin isn't really an issue to me, along with the endermen.

So yeah, it's a pathetic boss. HP and damage don't make something strong, being an actual threat does. I fear skeletons more than the dragon, because they hit me.

It moves blocks, doors, and plays noise. Yes, I've seen stuff made with redstone that I would never bother to make due to the complexity. But then again, all that was really produced was some elevators and a massive computer. In which, the computer was really only capable of 8 bits and some math.

The effort is never really worth the pay and there is pretty limited pay in the first place.

Trust me I've ran around many redstone wiki pages. I know what it's about. I do know that some nice new features or some fixes would've done us much better than a tripwire.

god i loving swear some people are just the worst

so i decide to visit the computercraft IRC and maybe help a couple people. some kid(guy/person/girl maybe) had a problem with his stuff so i'm like "okay here's how you fix it" and then i changed it a little bit and made a new revision. however error after error came up and it was at that point that i decided that i should probably start actually testing the damn thing, and through doing that, i make a working revision of his program.

the problem started when he started asking for more features to be implemented, and i was glad to do one or two simple solutions, but the rest i just didn't feel like doing since i'd already spent enough time on the program, and stated that it didn't matter because the program works anyway.

his ass just sits there and keeps pushing and insisting that i add this feature and i'm like "ok you're getting annoying" and he's like sorry, so he implements the feature himself

then he has the loving audacity to rub it in my face like he's some master programmer all of a sudden

"HURR DURR ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS THIS HURR"

god damnit i'm so loving done oh my god.

Train trickets, ready
