Minecraft

[Maniacal]

To be fair minecraft is taking the idea from what people ended up doing in an (abandoned) game. However, yeah there are a bunch of minecraft clones that are barely different.

At least it can run smoothly.

 

[Rub'Rum]

A worthy Minecraft clone?

 

[remake20]

Nah, I do like the graphics though.

 

[Maniacal]

Slightly cartoonish graphics are probably the best way to go with a small indie 3D game. Since they can still look great without having too much work and/or polygons.

From Twitter:
The level height in Minecraft now depends on a single field in the Level class, for easier modding. The default will remain 128, though.

Example of 512

More food:

From Notch's Twitter:
"Pfft", they scoffed. "Platinum is rubbish, you need Infinite!". "Is it metal?", I asked. It's not, "but it works everywhere."

 

[Maniacal]

Is Notch... wearing the chicken on his head in that screenshot?

 

[remake20]

Wait, do those screenshots apply that food will become a need? That's what that bar next to health looks like.

If it is I want it to be somewhat stackable. Its ridiculous that you can carry 64 blocks of obsidian and yet only one apple in each square.

Based on what they have said in the past it will be stackable. They have also said needing to eat will be optional.

Hell yes! I was hoping for something like this - to make survival mode more about survival.

Edit: New Pic:

So windows seems not to be full blocks anymore. And that tower is HUUUUUUUGE. As for the hunger bar, I read on the wiki that that was planned for a new difficulty level "Realistic".

I can't make glass structures anymore? Or does the glass block still exist as a separate thing?

 

[croxis]

jeb said the glass block exists still

 

[Maniacal]

This is a step in the right direction

 

[cardgame]

yay, real windows

Now for wood panels (and signposts that don't take up 6 blocks of planks to make - should only take up 1 wood panel). I think the whole crafting thing needs to be redone (at least for wood) in terms of how much material is actually needed for something. Glass should be removable, too. Granted, I don't like the way the pane of glass is in the middle of the blocks...

Spoiler :

That's making me miss water ladders!

 

[thomas.berubeg]

is there a CFC server?

 

[cardgame]

Yes there is, and it's run by croxis I think. Isn't this information in the OP?
