Minecraft

If you're only playing singleplayer, you could just search out a copy of the older version, and just use that offline. Notch really needs to implement a version select/regression feature while it's still in alpha for these cases. ;/

Would make life easier for admins also incase the latest breaks shit in horrible ways.

[Maguspk]

Turn on the frame limiting that will solve your lag issues.

[Kaisha]

Always has been on.

I wish he would add something in the game like that, maybe not as broken as that lol but yeah... would be nice

[Shiznicle]

I would die so many times in single player with that hookshot.

[Melchoir]

anyone been able to load texture packs using Notch's ingame loader? Don't want to mess with the .jar file if I don't have to. been trying SMP's but no worky... all I want is clear glass that doesn't have a solid border. ;_;

[Shiznicle]

Just compress the texture pack files into a .zip, and put it in the texturepacks folder.

And if you wanted more of a step-by-step approach: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewto...p?f=25&t=81502

Keep in mind Notch's texture pack installer only works for 16x16 textures.

Best thing about the video is the Terranigma music.
I never did finish that game. I should do that one day!

[Melchoir]

Dunno if it has been mentioned in the thread yet but Minecraft GPS is pretty awesome. No more getting lost or issues connecting 2 tunnels!

Mojang Specifications' Minecraft is a game about survival and building. Presented in first person and available for the Mac and PC, it has quickly become one of those indie darling success stories. In its alpha phase of development, Minecraft has sold over 600,000 copies. It's popular, has a great community, and has generated a lot of positive buzz. The game has also inspired an iOS developer to create his own version of the title, which has since been pulled from the App Store.

The game was called Minecrafted and it hit the App Store at $.99. The App's creator, Trevor Wilkin, claimed in the release information for the game that Minecrafted was "built from the ground up for Apple devices without code or content from the original." However, the game looked and played like Minecraft, and could even connect with legitimate Minecraft servers.

But it wasn't pulled because of the similarities or any kind of legal hullabaloo. In a conversation with TUAW, Wilkin said he was just testing Apple to see if he could get approval. Apple approved the App and set it live immediately, which became a problem with Wilkin, as he intended to ask Mojang Specifications if it was cool to release the game before he actually released it.

On Twitter, Minecraft's creator Markus "Notch" Persson weighed in a little bit on the creation of Apps based on Minecraft, stating that "there is no official iPhone or Android Minecraft yet. If you're working on a clone, that's cool, but please don't imply it's ours." Notch added later in a reply, "Ideas are meant to be spread. But I wish [developers would] try to make it original rather than a straight clone."

Wilkin's Minecrafted might be available for purchase again some day. "I've been firing numerous e-mails and waiting on official rulings," he said on our forum thread about the App. "I'd prefer to do this in a way that doesn't cause problems."

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU... who else missed out on grabbing this for iPhone?

[miokomioko]

Damn, and I almost always check Catagories > Games > All Games > Sort by Release Date every night before I go to bed... sonofa.

[Khamsin]

Even if you had bought it, it could just be deleted from your phone by Apple.

Status of SMP Health

The few hours I’ve been able to work today, I tried getting SMP Health as complete as possible. It will be released early next week.

Here’s the status:

* Send attack network data: DONE
* Add the ability to attack other entities: DONE
* Implement falling damage: NOT STARTED
* Implement respawning for dead players: PARTIALLY DONE (there are bugs with the player keeping the current location in some circumstances instead )
* Make eating food regenerate health: DONE
* Send health updates to the players: DONE

The “attack entities” code is done on a general level, so you can hurt animals, monsters, boats, carts and even other players.

There are a couple of other tweaks in the next update as well:

* Fix leaves. Again: DONE
* Optimize the lighting update slowdowns: STARTED
* Make players riding carts or boats a long way receive terrain updates: DONE
* Fix the block re-spawning bug: NOT STARTED
* Add “pvp” toggle flag to the server settings: NOT STARTED.

yessssssssssssssss

[Ragns]

Can barely wait to warp people into lava pits.

[Khamsin]

Was there any mention of nighttime spawning mobs? Or will this basically just be a "you can be ganked now" update since there's no falling damage or option to disable PvP yet, so the only way to die is for people to attack you (or fire, if fire counts).

[Priran]

you can hurt other players.

Also, I like not having to worry about HP.

[Pirian]

Ahh hell, fire better not do damage before I finish working around my lava-moat -.- Haven't really worked on it in a couple weeks because of the reappearing block glitch

[Khamsin]

Either way, time to start worrying about what you carry with you from now on.
