Dude, holy shit. You need to make a video of that because I want to see how it looks and sounds while working.

I'd love to, but is there any freeware Fraps equivalent out there?

Also, it's not like it's hugely dynamic in motion. The motors can only push a group of frames a single block at a time, and they're not super-fast. Audio-wise, the machine's pretty much dead silent, amusingly enough. Frame motors are silent, as are block breakers, which are the blocks that do the actual digging. The only thing in the mod that makes any sound that I can think of are things like timers, which are configurable single-tile items that send out a redstone pulse every x seconds. They make a little click every time they pulse.

You can disable the click in the mod's config file, which I did immediately after being driven to near insanity every time I was near my gravel-to-flint converter.

Oh, a shame about the sound. For ambience and feel the motors should at least make a whirr or something to fit in with the rest of the game's theme. Let me know if you find a Fraps equivalent, I'd still love to see it. I just bought Fraps to get rid of the problem. :(

[bengraven]

I don't know what I'm going to do when they add money to this game.


I do know that when they do, our server is going to get much much more interesting. :)

[EskimoJoe]

That looks amazing. Might be the first mod I get after Optifog. Hopefully my crappy little laptop can handle it.

I will say, the times I've moved that whole rig around, my framerate has dipped quite a bit. I learned the hard way not to walk around on it while it's moving.. taken the long fall to my death a few times already. Still, using the mod for smaller stuff doesn't seem to make it run any worse than normal MC.

Oh, and speaking of new blocks, looks like tomorrow's snapshot update will have something interesting:

Added a new block that was suggested on reddit 7 months ago. It's very useful! You'll see on Thursday.

Hmmm... here's hoping it's something redstone related.

[bengraven]

http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/co..._block/c4rfckv

Guy collected most of them from 7 months ago.

Nothing that's an actual "block" seems very "useful" though.

I'd still love to see the item frames and pots or Ender Chest.



That said, maybe he's exaggerating and he means my mailbox idea. :p

[Blizzard]

Oh for IC redstone blocks. =P

[Rapstah]

As far as the game is concerned, everything that isn't a moving entity like animals or falling sand is a block, so he could be talking about literally anything you place.

[ACES11]

Hey I wanted to thank everyone who keeps answering my dumb questions. I appreciate it. Even if they are the dumbest thing ever.

Anything else I should know? Like /home and teleport?

[-Minsc-]

Oh noes, it seems creeper damage is on for some reason.

[CrAzYLeGzLU]

Oh noes, it seems creeper damage is on for some reason.

Hopefully Mengy will swoop in and save the day. :-)

NihonTiger on NeoCraft - Episode 1: A Single Step

Yep. I did it.

I also intend for this to serve as a chronicle of sorts for my fortress project, and while the quality right now is not the best, it'll improve as time goes on (and I figure out what the heck I'm doing :p).

[EVIL]

Hey I wanted to thank everyone who keeps answering my dumb questions. I appreciate it. Even if they are the dumbest thing ever. Anything else I should know? Like /home and teleport?

/sethome
Sets your home at your current location

/home
Transports you to your home

/tpa Username
sends a teleport request to a player.

if you get a teleport request, you can accept it by typing /tpaccept

you can lock chests by placing a sign around your chest and typing [Private], now its only accessible by you. If you want to share a chest with another player, you simply type

[Private]
* don't type anything here, since this is the area where your username will sit on the sign
* Username of the player you want to add

another thing, you can also equip a sign and right click it on a chest and it will automatically attach itself to a chest with the words [private] and your username.

the server has warps, type /warp to see the wars available. if you want to warp to a location, say domecity, simply type /warp domecity

Be sure to give us a warning when you are recording so we can be on our best behaviour. :)

Woah, really? Nothing's been updated as far as I can tell. I'll look at it when I get home from work today.

New snapshot is out:

http://assets.minecraft.net/12w21a/minecraft.jar

The changelist is pretty good, they really are putting alot into this next patch:


- Removed graphs in F3 mode
- Allowed minecarts on rails to be accelerated slighty while sitting in them
- Added pyramids in deserts (with hidden treasure chests and TNT traps!)
- You can now add a reason when banning people, via
- Changed slime spawning and splitting some
- Added layered snow block to Creative mode item selection screen
- Dispensers now dispense and pick up water and lava using buckets
- Added desert-specific villages
- A few minor terrain changes
- Added a /seed command for showing the map seed
- Added sandstone stairs
- Made the stars slightly smaller and slightly brighter
- Added enderchest (stores contents across dimensions and other enderchests, preserving contents even if all enderchests are destroyed)
- Re-added original golden apple (gives Regeneration IV, Resistance and Fire resistance effects)
- Existing golden apples remain unchanged, except that they lose their glow
- Added trading with villagers (emerald is used as currency, it is currently red but will be green in next snapshot)
- Added emerald ore (currenlty red, will be green soon)
- Changed gravel texture
- Improved boats (they now run straight through lillypads, breaking and sometimes dropping the lilypad instead of breaking the boat)
- Made empty buckets stackable to 16


Not too bad, some nice changes again. REALLY excited about the enderchests.

[ACES11]

So yeah, I buckled and bought minecraft.

Thanks to all who helped me get started and now I can begin truly building my secret "lair".

[Rapstah]

Amazing changes! This patch will be huge.

[Xun]

Gravel looks much better now!

[spuit*11]

Don't know, I have gotten attached to the red-ish gravel.

I just blew myself up in a pyramid's tomb.

Also the Enderchest is awesome.

[Shadow Hog]

Don't know, I have gotten attached to the red-ish gravel.

I always saw it more as purple, honestly.

Not sure if I like the new texture, honestly. Then again, this is what texture packs are for.

[Treefingers]

It's kinda jarring at first but I've gotten used to it after 5 mins.

[-Minsc-]

It's kinda jarring at first but I've gotten used to it after 5 mins.

I'm not going to pass judgement until I see it in game. Even if it does seem jarring, I'm sure I'll quickly adjust as you did.

what what what?
What are those chest doing and what are the pyramids?
wow

[Deraldin]

- Improved boats (they now run straight through lillypads, breaking and sometimes dropping the lilypad instead of breaking the boat)

Finally!

[Pandaman]

Finally!

kurt was robbed.

[Vlad]

kurt was robbed.

Didn't he die due to a teleporting wolf?

[jono51]

Seeing that new gravel texture.....


http://i.imgur.com/c1pPo.png

[defel]

Hopefully they improve the netherrack texture next. That and gravel are the only two real ugly textures in the current release.

[Blizzard]

6 million PC sales were hit some time last night, by the way.

[EVIL]

Apparently there will be a small drawback to the ender chests in SMP.
It will be a shared chest, so everybody who can create a ender chest will have access to its contents.


and gdamn, gravel looks even more horrible now

[Blizzard]

I don't think that looks horrible, just too much like cobblestone.

[tangmaster96]

now I can begin truly building my secret "lair".

I do need to get back into minecraft.

More adventures!

[ACES11]

Im trying to connect two lakes (one is a lake, the other is a massive ocean) to each other for my secret "lair". I'm not entirely sure since the water isn't flowing and filling up the crevice I dug for the water to flow for my secret "lair".

Any help?

Make a floor 1 block below the water surface in the area that you want the water and then flood the area. Once the surface is nice and clean just dig away beneath it.

[Ranger X]

I don't like the new look of gravel either. Now it distinguish itself LESS than before.
And it also look like some kind of steal or something. Really bad.

[ZZMitch]

So I just died and lost 11 diamonds on the server.

Words cannot express my rage.

[Rabbit Lord]

Lots of images incoming...

I've been working on a Skyrim-like village for a while now and would like to share it. I plan on trying some of that ray tracing stuff with it when I get time but right now DIII is taking up all my free time.

I've named both the castle and village Wexholm. In most of the screens I'm using John Smith's tex pack.

Anyways, heres a little look.

Outside shots.











some more...

Some inside stuff.












(this is oso's rustic tex pack)

[Rokam]

So the chests in the pyramids have quite a bit of gold, iron and diamonds, not to mention access to TNT. Can't wait for UHC when this is live.

[Deraldin]

Unbreaking is nice and all what with getting the equivalent of 4 picks worth of durability, but Efficiency is just so nice! All I need is a shovel that combines both so that it'll last longer than it takes to actually grind the XP to get the enchantment. :/

[Barnaby_Jones]

Had a good night working on my new house, chatting to Minsc, ZZmitch and a few others. It's been a good laugh. I'm going to have to come on more often now I've not got any work to do.

Need to expand the farm, build a mine, gather resources and build the guest house at some point very soon.

Edit: I've got 3 stacks of mossy cobble and I'm wondering what I could do with it. Any ideas?

[Ranger X]

Is this new snapshot changing the terrain generation or I am good?

I'd want to start a world on the official version and but prevent myself from exploring. I don't want cuts in the ground :(

Make an underground jail/dungeon

Safety chest. Always carry one.

Safety chest. Always carry one.

I use them. I actually died coming up to the surface. I mined up from a cave and broke into the bottom of an ocean. Before I could reach the surface of the water I started drowning. Unfortunately drowning pushes you deeper into the water as fast as you can swim up so I could not escape and died. Alas.

Oh no :( That is a tricky one.

Something strange is going on, every 10 to 20 minutes whool from my base simply .. dissapears.

it isnt creepers, since materials even dirt around it is unharmed.

Any open flames nearby?

By the way, I thought the creepers on neocraft couldn't destroy blocks. Who turned that off? :(
