1.9

[CrispyChicken]

Are we going to do the pre-release or wait until the official 1.9 comes out? I rather just wait it out at this point because 1) Cam is out of a computer at the moment and I really don't want to do anything new without him and 2) we only have to wait a few more weeks until 1.9 and the official game are released.

[Dudebro]

I know my opinion on this doesn't matter much because I'm not on the server atm but I'm gonna just wait. I'm not into playing things in their early, buggy state. Seems better to just wait the short time until the big release.

[Kugyince]

@Crispy: We can scout out a location without Cam. I know what we're looking for. Snow mountains, hopefully with a plains biome next to it or at least an NPC village.

I just ask for one side of a large mountain to make this:

[CatalystiCam]

Thanks, chris :)

Just saying that I've been told 1.9 pre release is buggy. I also remember 1.8 pre release being buggy and laggy. I know my opinion is kind of changed under the circumstances, but if my computer were working, I'd still vote against a pre release server. Up to you guys though.

Might be getting my hard drive sooner than I thought, but not jumping to conclusions. Hey, maybe I can play through my 3ds! :P Just kidding, not being serious.

[Kugyince]

Thought I'd share some images from the Minecraft Texture Pack I installed today:

[CrispyChicken]

@Cam- No prob! I'm all for waiting. I rather not have the buggy pre-release. I think we can manage until the official 1.9/full release.

Damn, looks nice. What is it Ten?

[Kugyince]

It's called the John Smith Texture Pack.

[CrispyChicken]

Haha, cool. May get it just to see how it is.

[RU Joe]

There's a new mob in 1.9, perhaps you guys have heard about it already:

I'm pretty sure it's not hostile.

[Dudebro]

Those Ghasts are creepy enough as it is, CREEPY OVERLOAD.

[RU Joe]

Ok seriously now, the first world shown in this video is what I think we're looking for when it comes to the new 1.9 server.
I base this assumption on you guys' prior building sites in the old worlds we played.
Basically, I see you guys REALLY love your mountains, and this first world has got them in spades.
I hope we can find something similar for the 1.9 release.
Enjoy, all the same.

Minecraft 1.8.1: TOP 5 BEST SEEDS! [Epic Canyons, Strongholds, Villages, awesome Mountains,...] - YouTube

Edit:
On second thought, I think Duke Leto II looks way cooler.
You guys get the idea.

[CrispyChicken]

For 1.9, the goal is to find really large snow mountains.

[CatalystiCam]

My buddy at school thinks he has a spare hard drive... Fingers crossed!

Also, there is things called Ender Dragons apparently. All I've heard is that they swoop at you if you look at them, and make anything they touch disappear, or die. This means that they could effectively wipe out houses, and make caves.

Whether this is true or not, idk. Something dizzy, and magic told me. Someone not on a 3ds can look it up lol.

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/thumb/7/7b/Dragon_in_color.png/800px-Dragon_in_color.png

According to the wiki they will only spawn in The End zone(used to be called the sky zone or w.e) and only one will be active at a time. They can destroy any blocks, including bedrock, but they pass right through obsidian and whitestone.

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/thumb/f/f5/Ender_dragon-bright.jpg/800px-Ender_dragon-bright.jpg

Both pics are brightened to show the detail better.

[CatalystiCam]

Dang thats kind of a creepy pic.

Getting a hard drive friday it sounds like. Fingers crossed that I find the right one!

[Dudebro]

That whole zone is gonna be creepy. It's gloomily dark with a bone white ground mixed with pillars of obsidian. The only mobs, so far, are endermen and the dragon. There's also no known way out unless you kill yourself or cheat. The idea is that you have to kill the dragon to get out.

[CrispyChicken]

The sky zone is the same as the aether world?

[Kugyince]

Changing my plan I think. Considering doing Insane Mode on this challenge if others are interested:
[Challenge] The City Construction Challenge - Minecraft Forum (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/607484-challenge-the-city-construction-challenge/)

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

Guess that's a no.

[CrispyChicken]

Do you have a tl;dr? :p

[Kugyince]

Best I can do:

Warning: This challenge really is insane, attempt at your own peril...

Notch has forsaken you, you had placed your trust in his guidance and he has ignored it... He must have been bribed by the Mad King. The food you had once starved yourself to collect for the journey has spoiled and most of it is no longer edible.
After many weeks of travelling your followers have grown weary, they can no longer walk and stand no chance of making it beyond the rough mountains ahead even if you could feed them. There is no choice but to make camp and settle on these wretched lands not much better than the wastelands you have travelled from.
The tall grass found naturally yields no seeds suitable for farming and the climate is far too cold for melons to grow outdoors - You will need to find alternate solutions to this, however it is not impossible to grow crops.
Fortunately, you are just outside of the King's domain and his troops will be unable to pass the rough terrains that have trialed you in large numbers. But surely the King will bribe Notch to unleash vicious monsters upon you by night, be wary.

Your challenge is to create a city, progressing through the stages one by one, reaching the next stage once all of the requirements are met. During the challenge there are some guidelines that should be followed for the best playing experience. Some should be followed throughout the challenge (see immediately below) whereas others only apply to certain stages.

Guidelines (Insane)

- For safety reasons, you must be wearing a helmet of some kind before going underground to protect your head, any kind of helmet is acceptable but you may only go to a depth of y = 40 with a leather helmet
If you go beyond the depth allowed by your helmet, you must rise to a suitable depth immediately and not mine/collect any blocks on the way up.
- You must leave the mine if your helmet breaks and you do not have a spare to equip.
- Mine shafts must be at least 3x3 areas and have support beams at least every 10 blocks (wooden pillars or otherwise) (except in naturally generated caves, they already support themselves)
- Seeds can only be obtained from existing wheat or from tall grass which has spawned by using bonemeal on a grass block.
- You cannot make bread and bread will not count towards your food count. Hint: Fish supplement
- Melons must be grown indoors.
- You must use the corresponding tools to gather blocks (except for wood, because everybody knows you can punch trees to gather them), tools not needed for unnatural blocks/entities such as workbenches, stairs, fences etc.
- The building requirements will be in different districts or towns, the requirements must be built in (but are not limited to) the specified district.
Note:
The Farming District is marked by the Town Hall.
The Market District is marked by the liscensing office.
The Upper District is marked by the City Hall.
The Port is marked by the Harbor Master's Office.
The King/Queen's District is marked by the castle/Fort/Palace etc.

Also, they do not have to be districts. They can be towns or otherwise.

- If you find a bucket, you may use it regardless of the stage you are in.
- Use at least 'Hard' game difficulty
- Do not cheat at any point in this challenge
- Post your progress on this thread

Note: You do not need to follow the guidelines that I make, they are just there to make the experience of the challenge better. This is meant to be fun for you so if you don't like something, change it. http://static.minecraftforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

[Dudebro]

Man Chris is lazy I went and read that through the link!

Sounds fun Tenser but my PC is messed up atm and I can't join in. When it's back at 100% I'd be down for some hardcore roleplay with you. ;)

[CrispyChicken]

Sounds like fun! It seems like quite a long project though. Should we focus on it after the full release comes out or what?

Whatever we decide, I'm up for it.

[Kugyince]

Yeah, I was thinking post-official release.

I like how it's almost a step-by-step in building a giant kingdom.

It also functions as a check list.
"We just finished the licencing office, next we should build 2 community buildings and then 2 dwellings in the market district. After that we need to add stalls and shops in the marketplace."

[Dudebro]

I wasn't a big fan of the helmet rule but I can get into if people really wanted to stick to the guidelines.

[Kugyince]

I don't "get" the helmet rule either. I think it might be the idea that all the townspeople are wearing the same helmets helps unify the community maybe.

[Dudebro]

I think they just added it to make mining more themed. If you need to have the right helmet to dig past a certain part then you have to really work at it unless you get lucky. Like it says though you don't have to follow all of it. If no one thinks it's worth it then just say meh and drop it from the plan.

Btw added a pic to the group.

[Kugyince]

We should come up with a town name.

Also, some other people in the linked thread are doing this and I think it might be fun if we did it to.

Addition: Add a graveyard and a marker including name, date, and cause of death every time you die.

Examples:
Kugyince I
10/31/11
Creeper attack
from behind.

Kugyince II
11/8/11
Swam in a
pool of lava.

[Dudebro]

Killed by a gang of creepers, again.

[CrispyChicken]

This sounds better by the minute :D I agree with post-official release.

[Kugyince]

@DB: We could always just change the helmet rule to a depth rule.

Stage 2 - Y40 and higher
Stage 3 - Y30 and higher
Stage 4 - Y15 and higher
Stage 5 - No limit

[KATZ]

I'm all for this idea, it sounds really fun......... i really want the grave yard, just to see how much we screw up haha

Killed by a gang of creepers, again.
You know it.
It's the skin that causes it, I tell you.

I tried to log on your server a few nights ago with little success.
I actually connected with Guardian's server but noticed that .. things changed a bit, reverted back to before the Aether was added.
So I put a sign that says:
'There used to be a portal to the Aether here'
in that spot.

I like the gravestone idea, Ten.
The graveyard is going to take up some serious real estate you know.
Like rolling over the hills as far as the eye can see.

REGARDING Creepers:
I finally got my revenge IRL by spending a few nights making a Creeper head as featured in the Screen Team parody video I posted a while back.
Took me 3 nights to put it together, didn't have the right materials, and DARN that's a lot of little squares to glue .. but it was all worth it when I found quite a few people around town recognized the character.

yeah, esspecially with how much i die >.< but we can section areas, kinda like land fills, where we set up a sectioned area in a spot then once thats filled up move to another spot

[Kugyince]

What if we didn't light up the graveyards that way skeletons and zombies spawned in it at night? Just fence/wall them up so creepers aren't wandering around town.

Also, one more rule we should adjust. I think we should be able to make bread.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Suggestions for town names?

[CrispyChicken]

-Retro City
-Retro Ville
-RetroCraft

All I could think of were just some names with Retro :p

[Kugyince]

I'm actually really, really excited about playing Minecraft again.

I don't want to wait another 16 days. -_-

can I get a tldr for Ten's post? I read all day, every day in class in stuff, so I can no longer focus on reading insane volumes of words lol.

[Dudebro]

People are so lazy. It's a theme that would mean building according to somewhat realistic means. Like at the start you must only use wood tools because it's all you'd have. Also you'd have to use the correct tools for the correct jobs. Stuff like that. It's broken into stages to give people goals.

[RU Joe]

@JG- You didn't make a full costume? For shame. Btw my server is off again due to technical difficulties. Sorry.
Full costume?
Maybe next year, we'll see.
Anyhow I forgot to mention that I was originally going to wear the mask myself while taking my younger daughter out trick or treating, but when she saw the mask, she decided to wear it herself.
The really funny part is that she doesn't even play Minecraft.

About the Creeper mask itself:
I'm glad you guys liked it and thanks for the rate - ups!

If any of you plan on making one I highly recommend gluing a bike helmet or perhaps a hard hat inside the box instead of using a baseball cap like they show in the video.
A baseball cap would leave the bottom of the box really low and possibly touching your shoulders.
{unless you have none}
Also we learned that using a helmet adds a certain safety factor to the unit; my daughter wiped out on some stairs while trick or treating and lived to tell the tale!

Finally, here's my suggestion for the town name:
Retropia.

[CrispyChicken]

@Joe- I like it. How about Retropolis? :p

[Kugyince]

My suggestion:
Gorier Turnips

(It's an anagram of Retro Uprising)

[CatalystiCam]

People are so lazy.

Haha, I explained my reasons :P Also, I'm usually the ones to write the really long posts so kind of ironic lol.

[RU Joe]

Dang it, I thought the update was supposed to be today, but:
Minecraft's official release date is planned to be on the 18th of November 2011, which is in 7 days.
Minecraft Wiki - The ultimate resource for all things Minecraft (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Minecraft_Wiki)

And I was all exited and stuff .. who was it that said the update would be today?
It was only a rumor.
:lying:

[Seahawk]

Notch wanted an 11.11.11 release date (because it sounds cool) like every other company that had a product release around that time.

Unforunately he couldn't get that date for Minecon, so it's on the 18th now.

This has been known for a while, but the internet is great at keeping rumors alive.

Anyways ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL RELEASE (and no more crashing every five minutes for me).
Minecraft party next Friday anyone?

[RU Joe]

Minecraft party next Friday anyone?
I think that goes without saying.
I'm counting on half of the planet to be playing next week.

I just noticed something about the wording in the announcement: it says that this will be the official release - which makes me feel like I've been in on the game early and so have an advantage over others who have yet to play it.
{which I guess is the case, really}

Do I need to say it?
I can't wait!
:p
{and I'll probably say this a few more times throughout the week}

[CatalystiCam]

Sure. I've been running my own server with RPG style plugins to give EXP for mining, excavation, swords skills, acrobatics and stuff (also has leaderboards) along with a plugin that allows certain runes to make hidden passages in walls and teleport pads if anyone wants to join. Get a free program called hamachi, and let me know. This is in no way competing with Guardian's, but my friends and I wanted a server with plugins and stuff as well, and it was started to do challenge maps.

Let me know, I'll be playing on both servers once 1.9 the Full release comes out

[Seahawk]

Word, as soon as school ends next Friday I'm ordering a giant pizza with soda to set up the evening.

Here's hoping they have the authentication servers ready to handle millions of people logging in and downloading the official client.

Too bad I won't be able to watch the keynote and actual feed of Notch pressing the launch button. Ah well.

[KATZ]

ill be on ^_^ 6
+

[Kugyince]

I'll be on. I'm currently playing on a weird SMP server that gives you jobs and has an economy but there are no creepers, TNT, enders dont pick up blocks, fire doesn't spread, etc....
