SometingStupid Posted September 18, 2011 I don't really think that I enjoy building things enough to make that a fun thing to do, presuming I have the right end of the stick. On a different note to save me the trouble later: haven't found all that many new things in 1.8 as of yet, although I've only played it for five in-game days. However, i did encounter some endermen, had to deal with the hunger mechanic, and forced myself to not eat the rotting meat. The promise of new things makes me want to keep playing, and keep playing I shall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forbin Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Well I'm about done with my 1.8 world. It's got a lot of unexplored underworld and I did start out as robinson cruesoe. You want to take over Orvidos? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4721261/idle_chain_rev1.zip Edited September 18, 2011 by Forbin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted September 18, 2011 I'm about to give up hope that minecraft will become a really interesting single player game. One of the reasons is the above mentioned loss of survival aspect after a short time, due to abundant resources. Another is that the view distance really hampers the exploration aspect, and I'm guessing it won't get any better, at least while Minecraft runs on Java. And some might argue, but while the game became easier with health regen, the random creeper deaths are still fucking annoying, as they can set you back tens of minutes or hours. Actually, I just lost all my stuff to a spider I was trying to run from, and when I went back my stuff wasn't there. It seems rather random whether your stuff remains after you are dead or not if you died far from spawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted September 18, 2011 I'm about to give up hope that minecraft will become a really interesting single player game. Yeah thats kind of my problem with it as a hole, I need a bit more direction. But the new update has produced some pretty interesting places, it's not like it'll be a 30 hour game for me, but I had fun exploring for 40 minutes or so. I'd probably keep doing it 10 minutes at a time, but it keeps crashing out of memory on me... I have no idea why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, not arguing against that, I've played for 6+ hours and the new world generation is really cool. I may keep playing on and off for a little while until the next update.

Twig Posted September 18, 2011 I actually haven't played 1.8 at all yet because I'm waiting for my server to update, and it won't update until Bukkit updates. Arghh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a game of Europa Universalis to clear up today (3 mega-powers left, but only 20 years to go, so it shouldn't be overly long) but I'll take a look after that. E: Neat little island. Going to expand on your signs idea and then stop cheesing night-time with the bed and go exploring. Edited September 18, 2011 by Orvidos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Afterward Posted September 19, 2011 That's the problem with minecraft survival. Too quickly you ramp out of that awesome feeling of being helpless to being filthy rich. I need to find another way to play it. On one map I've been playing with a couple of nethack-style "conducts": I'm a vegetarian who's afraid to go underground.

Orv Posted September 19, 2011 On one map I've been playing with a couple of nethack-style "conducts": I'm a vegetarian who's afraid to go underground. Well the thing with chainworlds is you either play it until you're bored, or you die. This necessitates playing on at least Normal, so it's very possible you'll just fall into lava one day, or be creeper ambushed. It's out of your hands, then.

tabacco Posted September 19, 2011 Perhaps if tabbacco has to shut down idlemc due to lack of funds. I had planned to update, but I'm waiting for Craftbukkit to promote a stable build. Though if people are no longer interested, I'd prefer to know now before I lay out the effort and money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted September 19, 2011 I'm waiting for IdleMC 1.8. We're going to reroll right? The new world generation is awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twig Posted September 19, 2011 I'm interested, but it depends on the rules you guys work with. I find pure creative servers (spawning, etc.) to be pretty boring. Also how many people typically play on the server? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forbin Posted September 19, 2011 Yeah I'm still interested, I was just saying that if we lose the server we could still do things like chainworlds for some sort of interactive play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erkki Posted September 19, 2011 The abandoned mines are pretty scary. Huge and much more dangerous than simple caves. The one I found earlier seems to extend to under my lighthouse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted September 19, 2011 The abandoned mines are pretty scary. Huge and much more dangerous than simple caves. The one I found earlier seems to extend to under my lighthouse. I finally found a villiage in my 2 minutes between crashes gameplay. *that* was scary... why the fuck is there a town in the middle of a desert and no one here? It's creepy as hell... then night came and I had to stay inside one of these haunted death traps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted October 2, 2011 The abandoned mines are pretty scary. Huge and much more dangerous than simple caves. The one I found earlier seems to extend to under my lighthouse. Been playing that world a little bit every now and then and man, the underground "complex" in this world is more huge than anything I've seen before in Minecraft. First, there is either one set of mines or two sets close by, underground ravines, and huge huge cave systems with some really big caves. And it's all connected and conveniently accessible from under my lighthouse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted October 11, 2011 Soooo, I tried yesterday the Pocket Edition from Android Market and it really works without any problems on my Huawei X5 Ideos! May be optimized for Xperia Play, but still works really nicely and smoothly. Not much to do in the demo version though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not much to do in the demo version though... Is it basically the Minecraft Classic version or something else? If it's Classic seems rather pointless to put that out. Not much to do there indeed.
