You sir are brilliant. I'll be adding this to my list of must have mods. You've definitely enhanced a part of Minecraft that's always been cool but lacking.

Congrats; in combination with 1.0.0's bug fixes/speed ugprades and your mod, Minecraft once more works on my Dell Dimension 2400.

I applaud you good sir.

Exactly its just Notch tricking everyone into paying more :wink.gif:. No, but seriously I think the pre-releases are cool and all but if this is what Notch considers the final game then there should not be pre-releases. I am not saying no updates, because all games update with cool new features but the pre-releases kind of show off bugs that a full game should not show off and also shows the weakness that Mojang cannot spot their bugs in testing.

Yes, because we're totally being forced to play buggy versions of the game.

It's a bug-test version of an update so we can test out stuff and inform Mojang about the bugs. Unless you follow their Twitter and/or read these forums you don't even know about them.

It's like beta of updates; you test bugs, you tell them about the bugs, and they fix them so the actual update ISN'T buggy.

Actually your computer COULD handle a entirely explored world... if you had a lot of hard drive space. I think a fully explored world would take multiple petabytes! That is one of the reasons Notch decided to make the worlds generate as you go.

No where near that much mate; I'd give a fully explored Minecraft world a hundred gig at most.

At the risk of raining on your pessimism parade, Notch has already promised us plenty of updates after the release.

The End is just another realm; credits are there to, guess what, give credit. They don't mean the end, they just mean there's more to come. You view them as a sign of the end; I view them as a sign of a beginning.

The day Notch does decide to give up, we'll still have modders, working the night away to make a great game greater.

Get two sheep. Stick them in a fence. Sheer them. Get them to have two more sheep. Kill the sheered sheep. Sheer the remaining sheep. Rinse and repeat.

Though I agree, it's lame that sheep don't regenerate wool yet. I'm hoping it'll be in the full 1.9.

Can someone please explain to me what's going on with Forge for 1.8+? As I've heard a dozen different things from a dozen different people, and it's all rather confusing. So, if someone official can explain it to me in a slightly less confusing way, it'd be much appreciated.

My philosophy on pirating?

Movies, music, TV shows, I don't give a damn; go and rent it from Redbox or Netflix or something. Go to the library even! Most major ones have movies, music, and TV show box sets nowadays, and that's FREE.

On video games? I only pirate ten year old stuff; mostly because my computer can't handle anything else, and mostly because, well, they aren't making any money off of it anymore, so I don't hurt the minimum wage worker.

Yes, but it's hardly a bad thing.

It's kinda like being dependent on running water; sure, without it, we could still survive, but it makes life a hell lot harder. Computers are the same way; they help us do our every day tasks. We can survive without them, but we would really hurt without them.

Which is why an EMP attack would be so bad; if you wiped out all the electronics in, say, NYC, or Paris, or any other major city, the power grid would go down, all non-hardened lines would blow, any computer not shielded would be fried... we'd be seriously screwed.

So yes, we are too dependent on computers. But it isn't a bad thing.

_{When the author says 'blow', he does not mean explode in a fiery death. He means stop working/not work as well as it should.}

For the NPCs, I still have hope that Notch will use the Pigman skin for them, that way my theory regarding the Pigman civilization will be confirmed. That, and the Pigmen look a loooot better.

As for the lag, it is a pre-release, so it's going have issues; I'm sure it'll be fixed in the full release.

Anytime, huh?

Go back to the dawn of the universe, to see just what happened. If I see God, woohoo. If I die from the Big Bang, well, damn.

Not to be a troll, but seriously, google 'computer bulldozer'. I'm pretty sure it'll bring something up.

Aye, even though they're going be 32nm as compared to Ivy Bridge's 22nm, they're going be pretty powerful, and certainly a good bang for your buck. Only time will tell whether or not Intel is going get creamed or if it'll be on par with the Sandy Bridges

Mineshafts are pretty rare, so you're not exactly going run through them a lot, and they're a killer to navigate. Not to mention the toxic spiders that drain your health so bad I typically leave abandoned mineshafts abandoned.

Sure, it's a lot of resources, but hardly 'imbalanced'. In a one hour cavern run I got three stacks of iron, half a stack of diamond, at least six stacks of coal and two stacks of gold, not to mention the truckload of redstone.

After spending forever in a mineshaft, fighting off cave spiders and trying to navigate the damn maze, I had barely reached half of the above.

Maybe you got a really lucky seed?

That depends, If it's for gaming, The 2600k/2500k is better than the 990x. So AMD doesn't have a seven hundred dollar lead then. But if it's for a workstation, I'm sure the 990x will still be the king. But I could be wrong. Until the bulldozers are actually released this is all just speculation, on both sides of the argument.

*edit

And it's not that the 2 extra cores didn't get used, The processor just has a worse architecture, and is just not as good of quality.

It's not of good quality? Links please; I understand AMD has a reputation of having slightly sub-par architecture, but the Bulldozers seem to be pretty solid.

Regardless of whether or not this up-ones Intel, I'm glad to see a processor that's advancing cores for cheap; with video games starting to be able to use the extra cores -BF3 is going be able to take advantage of quad cores, for instance-, the more the better.
