Sorry if this has been asked before but is it possible to play multiplayer with other systems? ie like how ios, android and windows 10 versions can play together.

 

[UncleSporky]

It's Puyo Puyo, and it's Tetris. Minecraft can wait.

Disagree. Those games get repetitive quickly. In Minecraft you can make anything! Build up a crazy arsenal of enchanted diamond gear! Tame 10 wolves to follow you everywhere! Ride a pig!

 

[taoofjord]

This is so amazing in portable mode. Wow.

I'm playing Minecraft for the first time now on the Nintendo Switch Right now I'm in the Super Mario World and going just around and look at all the great Nintendo figurines, but I don't know what I have to do now

 

[Veitsev]

So, I assume others are having issues with the scaling of the screen size in docked mode? It's cutting off the button prompts under the inventory on my ks8000.

Shouldn't be happening. Make sure Fit to Screen is set to on under Picture Size settings. Sometimes I find on my KS8000 this gets reset/acts wonky for whatever reason.

Anyone having problems joining multiplayer games. Can't connect to my girlfriends game at all.

Just build stuff. That particular world is probably not the best to start in.

 

[MHWilliams]

Can you tap or drag to move materials into the crafting area? Combined with 'classic' crafting mode that could be really nice

Nope. Tried both.

Honestly, I switched over to classic crafting for the review, but I recently rocked the new crafting mode for my latest game and I don't miss classic.

Sometimes I just wanna build stuff quickly y'all.

Gotcha, will check later. Thanks!

yo is there a way to make Obsidian mining go faster?

Ok Is there no main goal or something, and where should I start?

 

[molnizzle]

Goal is what you make it. There are 2 bosses in different dimensions (I think, never done them) if you want something to work towards. Focus first on getting a shelter with a bed, then find a cave and start mining. Work towards trying to build an enchantment station and go from there.

That's what I'm doing at least.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Ok Is there no main goal or something, and where should I start?

I got this from a Reddit post:

I absolutely love Minecraft and have been playing off and on for a few years. To have the best experience, I have found that you need to go into each playthrough will a set objective. Since there is no "correct" way to play Minecraft, an objective gives me focus in what I want to do.

For example, I recommend starting out with the goal to defeat the Ender Dragon (the first official boss that was created). You can research online what you need to do to get there. You shouldn't feel rushed (take your time to enjoy the game) but it's good to have an objective so you can know what to do when you feel lost.

To help you discover some mini-objectives, I recommend watching some good Minecraft youtube videos that can provide guidance. Paul Soares' "Survive and Thrive" series is a great start on the basics of the game. I was introduced to Minecraft by watching Peanut Butter Gamer's Minecraft Hardcore series. This has less instructions but gives a clear idea of how to play the game and what you need to do.

Seems like good advice I am following

 

[Scrawnton]

This is such a fantastic version of this game. Loving everything about it so far. I love playing it in bed at night.

 

[UncleSporky]

Do you just want to have obsidian blocks or do you specifically want to build something out of obsidian? If so, it's probably faster to "cast" it with lava and then pour water on top. Every scoop of lava is an obsidian block, though it takes a bunch of buckets.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

So almost 24 hours after launch, buy or pass? I'm stuck on this or Puyo Puyo Tetris

Just get both.

$60 for two games that basically have infinite replay value isn't bad at all. I'm in the 'need to stop' boat myself. I've bought like 30 games in the two months the console has been out!

But Thumper, Disgaea 5 and Ultra Street Fighter 2 are so close! Not to mention Pocket Rumble and Stardew Valley likely being pretty soon too. In a way, I'm lucky most of the games coming out are $10-$20 indie titles. I'd being completely broke otherwise.

Just need it to build stuff. I tried pouring water on lava in my mines but it just turned to cobblestone. So now I'm hunting for places where lava and water naturally meet and then plugging the water source. Regarding speed, I was asking about the actual mining itself. Takes forever to wear down one block.

Minecraft is so 2013. How is it that people still play this game?

Would like to know this as well. I know it was planned for Realms -- possible yet?

I'm not sure how good that map is for sustainability in survival mode. IMO, the real fun is in creating a new, randomly generated world and setting the mode to survival. You'll be living off your wits the first few days (gathering resources, building shelter), and from there, the game does lay out a few abstract goals. You might have to do a little digging online to get an idea of what to do, but it's worth it. Survival mode is great fun.

 

[molnizzle]

Nope. Still no Realms support in any of the console versions.

I'm trying to figure how of all the years you picked 2013.

 

[Omerta]

Played this for two hours in bed while the wife and kids were asleep and woke up absolutely exhausted...

Played for another hour after breakfast in handheld mode and started getting hand cramps...

Switched to docked mode with the Pro controller and played for another hour...

The thought of starting this game freaks me out.

Wow the tutorial in this game is so bad, I need to get an amount of certain wood blocks, and it locked me out of getting them in that tiny area. Guess I'm gonna check youtube for a tutorial

Yeah, I'm all the way ina snow area and found a bed there and I don't even have a weapon or nothing. Its fun being lost in the world tho. But the tutorial messages in survival kept dissapearing on me and in creative I have no idea what some stuff does like the redstones. I am honesly surprised how popular this game is...or rather I know why its so popular but am shocked how another game that had better qol adjustments hasn't come and stolen its thunder.

Despite all that I am really enjoying my time, but will probably look stuff up on YT soon. No rewind feature in creative like in Super Mario Maker or LittleBigPlanet has to be the strangest thing here.

I'm also liking the battle mode more, check it out! I just need to get the weapons first. >

Question. Is there a limit for how many animals you can have inside a pen? Similarly, is there a limit to how many working pens you can have? I'm starting to have quite a few sheep and cows and I thought I'd rather separate them onto two different pens, and eventually the same for pigs and other animals.

 

[Nia]

Played this with my friends tonight. We had a good time. Though we would like to get rid of that annoying cross hair. Is it possible? I couldn't see any option after digging through all the settings.

I don't think there is any such limit. Areas were animals are collected tend to get very crowded.

The only animal limit I'm aware of in the console version is that you can only tame 16 wolves.

 

[Caayn]

Not yet. The Xbox versions is rumoured to merge with the W10 version when Scorpio launches. This will result in Realms coming to consoles, making crossplay possible.

If that's true, then it shouldn't take long for other console versions of the game to follow suit with realm support

 

[Stupid Sexy Flanders]

Does this game have no vibration?

Without vibration it feels a bit off for me and I thought HD rumble could work really well with this if done right

 

[Lé Blade Runner]

Bought this, since I think that Switch is the best platform for Minecraft. Infinite replayability, too. First time I am giving this game a good chance, so wish me luck!

 

[SpokkX]

So, are there framerate issues? That is a dealbreaker for me, otherwise switch seems like the perfect version

 

[Shiggy]

Minecraft Switch Edition for 17€ (249 South African Rand):

You need to change the country of your Nintendo account to South Africa.

Jungles can make it dip, but for the most part it hits the 60fps target.

Framerate is nowhere near locked in handheld mode. Dips all over the place. It's serviceable though.

I demand gyro controls

Yeah I found myself naturally trying to slightly move the aiming reticle as if there were gyro controls.

You can tell that everyone decided that they needed to push this out ASAP. I'm sure it will come later.

Do they other console versions have Gyro support? If not, don't count on it.

I have my game set on Survival with normal difficulty, and I haven't seen a monster in an hour of play. I've found caverns underground with no mobs spawning. Is that normal?

I said exactly the same thing a few pages back.

Don't worry. The monsters will come.

Yeah, lava that isn't actual source blocks just becomes cobblestone. Need individual bucketfuls to turn into obsidian with water.

[iKnackwurst]

This is the first console edition i'm interested in even though i played the game to death on pc. I did not think waiting for the physical release would be so hard all of a sudden.

 

[Interfectum]

Do the console versions have those programmable blocks where you can make calculators and whatnot or is that PC only?

 

[Xenoblade]

Seemed to be when Minecraft reached the height of its popularity on Youtube.
