Minecraft

What is more impressive is the technical feat of it. This was done totally server side, so once the code is developed further I can add things directly to the server and anyone with that map can watch it!

Ok, so I'm trying to install Misa's, but I put it in the texturepack folder, and hit patch (yes it's the newest version). When I go into minecraft, the the texture pack selection screen has a grayed out option saying Misa210.zip. What am I doing wrong?

Unzip and rezip if you are on OS X

 

[Maniacal]

Apparently yes. Make sure you have the latest mcpatcher, then run it and then you can just plop Misa's pack or any other into the texture folder and select it in game.

Ok, I got it. you hve to zip all the stuff in the file, not just zip the file.

Bragging time!

I was digging around in my game when I came across a series of caves which gave me probably my most epic loot collection ever. My first trip gave me:

• 6 strings
• 59 coals
• 92 redstone
• 4 diamond
• 7 gunpowder
• 1 bucket
• 2 saddles
• 35 iron

I had to stop to get more torches. Possibly the begginning of my most epic find ever.

 

[cardgame]

Never stop for torches. Carry a stack of logs with you to craft torches from. Use the coal you've been mining

 

[Angst]

The largest natural findings of diamond I got from one mining trip was 17 pieces. Booyah. It took quite a while to collect though.

 

[Maniacal]

I don't remember exactly but I have found well over 300 coal, most of a stack of diamonds, over a stack of gold, a few stacks or so of iron, and too much damn redstone and a some lapis. Mine this was back in World 3 where croxis turned up the rate of resource a wee bit too high but I still get at least astack of iron on most mining trips as it is (ineed today I got over 3 stacks of iron, 9 gold, 7 diamonds, too much redstone again, and two stacks of lapis plus 4 stacks of coal with one cave system. Also found 3 stacks of brown shrooms.

 

[Angst]

In world 3 I found almost three stacks of diamonds at one point.

 

[Skwink]

Yeah I found two stacks O' diamonds in World 3.

 

[croxis]

Yah those world generator settings wernt exactly sane.

Also from twitter. Piston mod is being added. Shears are being added that help speed up wool, leaves, and disarming dnd

 

[Skwink]

Hey, I had no problems with all that huge diamond vein .

 

[Maniacal]

Leaves = fire

The coal was insane but everything else was just right so I actually ended up with tonnes of metal blocks to use for projects (though I never really did decide on the colour pattern).

Minecraft is going to be redone for the XBox360 and the Kinect (by a different team as Notch has no idea how to code for the console).

Not that I can think of a reason for anyone who already owns it to care.

 

[Angst]

That's... Interesting. I have no idea about how well that will go. Well. At least he's getting more attention!

 

[remake20]

I am

 

[Skwink]

I saw someone use Kinect on comp for minecraft. Looked kinda sucky next to comp.

 

[croxis]

Twitter hit, Minecraft for xbox 360

 

[DaemonDD]

I am very sceptic about it.
Not because it doesn't look good visually, but it's a definate ripoff. Terraria at least tried to make itself more original or different from Minecraft.
