Author Topic: Minecraft Megathread; yeah its update 1.12 big whoop what about it  (Read 6713634 times)

Go into creative, spawn a command block (/give name 137), then put this command in it:

Code: [Select]
summon Minecart ~50 ~50 ~50 {Riding:{id:"EnderDragon"}}
It will spawn an Ender Dragon a little bit away with a Minecart on its back you can ride. Sorta fun to do on AMPLIFIED world type, since the land goes so high the dragon HAS to fly through it and make paths, unlike in the normal generation where it flies harmlessly over the land. Of course, while riding, you're blinded inside blocks.

Edit: For once, this guy's list isn't actually good: http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/1ls56m/minecraft_snapshot_13w36a/cc26jaa

It seems most of their list is based off rumors before the release, as he marked off biomes as hearsay and put incorrect information based on pre-snapshot posts, such as Weighted Pressure Plates not working with items anymore, which is odd considering they are still entities so if anything they're expanding from items to all entities.

Edit: Screwing with different tests.

Code: [Select]
summon ItemFrame ~ ~2.5 ~ {TileX:1571,TileY:6,TileZ:1417,Direction:0,Item:{id:387,tag:{title:"The forgeted Up Piglet",author:"SirWankerson",pages:["So this girl was jacking me off and I was like OH YEAH! but then","I farted. The End."]}}}
I was trying to make this work for far longer than I should have. The wording was from me just being grumpy at all the complications in figuring out the format. Sadly, you can't do this with dynamic location as far as I know, because TileX/Y/Z is the location of the block it goes on, and you can't define that with the ~s. But it makes an item frame with a written book that as that text in it.

So did anyone see Captain Sparklez's new music video thing?

Yeah, it's the same as always. Good animation with a preteen douche thinking he's good at singing ruining it.

the stuff are you talking about?

the stuff are you talking about?
In my opinion, the guy that does the singing part is sub par to the guys that do the animating part.

I kind of felt the same, but at the same time, I don't really mind it.

I'm calling it "The Ali" after Mohammed Ali because he's a boxer and typically rollercoasters are named after manly or awesome things.

I'm having a bit of a problem - theres a section of track where its supposed to go from one thing to the other. I'm working on making the ride loop so it's not a pain in the ass to reset it, or I might just have it drop off and then after some amount of cars we will destroy them, but at that section of track where it comes up from the first drop it goes to the second... Well, it's supposed to start by going to the first drop then coming up. But it doesn't start that way, it just goes to the second drop's track and the other one is never used since the other one just loops. Pain in the ass..

You should totally be able to place minecart track on the side and bottom of blocks, and it would connect properly so loops would be possible.


little thing ive been working on

Would also make good for rollercoasters - i mean, just imagine the possibilities! Inversions! Vertical drops!


I think when minecarts get off the rails, they keep the momentum, so you can actually make jumps

I'm going to work with that on my next rollercoaster. After watching some videos I realized that not only can you make it do jumps, you can make it do loops (not loop de loops, mind you, but going in a circle over and over) and do other things like that. What I really need is Railcraft, but I can't install mods for stuff on my mac, so I'm out of luck. Name my next roller coaster...
