Erkki Posted April 17, 2011 I've been playing Minecraft again a bit (hadn't played since 1.2 or something) and I got stuck in Nether without a Flint. Portal went out, how the hell do I get back? I wouldn't want to die, I have lots of stuff (yeah my own stupidity that I brought the stuff to Nether). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted April 17, 2011 There is gravel in the nether, I think... You can tease a ghast to shoot a fireball at the portal too, maybe... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks, I did find some gravel, but had gotten hopelessly lost by then so I killed myself. Strangely, when I went back there were two portals right next to each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted April 20, 2011 Woot! The 1.5 stuff was actually what made me come back to playing it and now it's out: http://notch.tumblr.com/post/4746701552/minecraft-beta-1-5-and-some-thoughts-on-this-blog * Weather (rain, snow, thunder) * Statistics * Achievements * Detector rail * Booster rail * Performance improvements Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted April 21, 2011 Whoa. I had just completed my underwater glass railroad tunnel and was taking a test ride when I heard a horrible noise, like water rushing. I thought there was a leak and looked around. Then I realized it had started raining for the first time! Nice. But the rain is WAY too blue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Division Posted April 21, 2011 I like the update so far. Been trying to suss out a better minecart booster system. You should jump on the Thumbs server Erkki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted April 24, 2011 You should jump on the Thumbs server Erkki Will do at some point once I've played some more SP. Haven't been there for months. I saw a spider jockey earlier today. Didn't know about those, only saw it from afar at night and it was too risky to go closer. Thought maybe it was a bug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erkki Posted May 26, 2011 * Fixed a bug where the player could mine without swinging their arm ( http://notch.tumblr.com/post/5861083562/minecraft-beta-1-6 )Oh great, I'm going to have to start swinging my arm now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orv Posted May 29, 2011 It may be an icy shithole, but godsdamnit, it took me 2 hours to pour that damn entrance and it's my icy shithole! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted May 29, 2011 Fortress of Solitude? hehe Ive been playing a little bit of it, making little hovels in my journeys but haven't really taken on anything big, I'd like to a giant...something, but it's so hard to plan out and get the scope required when you have to work so close to something, then walk all the way out to see it at a distance. Much more respect to anyone who has made one in minecraft, and a lot more respect to ancient civilizations that actually accomplished this in real life.

Orv Posted July 14, 2011 I love ice and snowy biomes in Minecraft, in case you couldn't tell, so the Yogbox (http://yogiverse.com/showthread.php?11841-YogBox-A-carefully-chosen-compilation-of-good-mods) adding something that created biome specific caves really interested me. Final result: They be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SometingStupid Posted July 28, 2011 If that thing just steals blocks from anything you've created, it's be the best. Like it just walks up, takes your block and then walks off to it's lava pit, throws block in lava pit. Comes back... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thompson Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Those things look amazing, and creepy as fuck. Game design 101! 1: Post screenshot of new mob. 2: Read speculation. 3: Implement the cool stuff, pretend it was the plan all along. at least you can make them stop teleporting by looking directly at them now.

stewmull Posted July 28, 2011 well notch has been experimenting with Npc villages anyways, those spike towers sound sick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patters Posted July 28, 2011 The Endermen are peaceful. If you look straight at them, they freeze and look at you. When you look away again, they run fast. And teleport.They run TOWARDS you, not away. So if you happen to look at one, do not look away. (they stop being peaceful if you look straight at them) Sound familiar?
