It’s useless for me. At least until all the mods I use have been upgraded(one of which is a spawn mover). Now the game is in beta I think they should be working on improving/expanding the engine, modding API and merging SSP and SMP.

At this point the modding community has really taken off, there is a lot interesting stuff coming out. Which Mojang can’t keep up with and I’m not sure Notch knows where he wants to take the game.

But for us Mac users who haven’t upgraded to Snow Leopard, modding is so complex that it’s not really an option. I’m stuck playing the ordinary game, and while it’s as addictive and exciting as ever, I’m a little disappointed that updates have slowed. Not out of any sense of entitlement, but just that I feel I need more.

3063

Okay, I want one of these.

3064

Does it make the sound too?

3065

Someone hasn’t watched the video.

3066

I didn’t realize you provided a link. Funniest part is the video arguing about the efficiency of not building the corners.

3067

Cheer up dude, I think I’m the only one that is still playing your survival map:

I got to come back to it after the major map file change update which smoothed out all the performance issues I had… and proceeded to use up the ridiculous amounts of cobblestone I had to finish the bare bones of the great tower.

Gotta bake some glass!

3068

Holy Fucking Shit.

You know the funny thing is, when I play on an epic landscape map like one of the seeds that was posted previously, I spend so much time spelunking and wandering around thinking about how cool it would be to build in so many locations that I end up not building much of anything. Same thing on the SMP servers.

But when all I have is flat land… yeah.

Good God, dat tower.

I never did build myself an epic tower. The mod I’m using at the moment, Industrial Craft, just added Tesla coils, which could be interesting on a similar map. I’m not sure how i’d power them all though, I think I’d need a serious nuclear setup.

I’m the same. I’ve tried integrating my builds in to the landscape but it just doesn’t work. I always end up flattening a huge area.

Etho covers 1.4 and makes some interesting discoveries in his latest Let’s Play ep.

3072

Seems like a ridiculously elaborate item/mob/whatever collection thing he has going on.

3073

Fuck yeah! I just managed to get mods to install on my mac! And it’s awesome.

3074

He shows you how to build one here. part1 part2 part3 part4
warning, he’s slow deliberate and Canadian

My youngest son is really big into Minecraft and has been making YouTube videos. None of them have been great but in this recent one he decided to build something to honor a wolf pup he accidentally blew up while mining with TNT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5L78yHP4SE

3076

That’s adorable.

3077

That is cute. Love the design of the dog house too.

That’s awesome, Rob. I love the treehouse with the leaf floors.

3079

So I got back into this & built my first portal to the nether, but when I try to go back, I end up in some deserted cave system. I have no idea where I’m at and I’m kinda pissed. Is there any good way to get back to where I started?

F3 gives you coords - you want x=0 z = 0 and probably y around 65
