i agree with this entirely. because we really needed potatoes jeb. thanks, we totally don't need an optimized engine for people with almost crap computers, and we totally don't want a better combat engine
this game is hard on easy some people say, but really? center, click, click, click, center, click, click, click is hard? no, it's annoying. the only mob that remotely is difficult to kill is endermen, but with spam click their legs that defeats the purpose. the more useless stuff added on, the worse it's gonna get.

X's adventures in minecraft taught me good

potential
- The maps are so big in minecraft that it's a tad annoying. If the maps were finite then adventure maps and stuff like that would be much easier to create. Also, this is something that I'm sure indev people would LOVE.
Things would be a bit more challenging too. That's because you would have to be careful not to waste resources on things so then you would have the option to either play a almost worry free game, or choose your map dimensions and calculate ****.
less lag
- Smaller maps would also support the people with laptops or elder computers that do not have a large amount of RAM. Additionally server hosts would easily be able to make maps that don't induce train lag when someone decides to bild their house an IRL day away from spawn.

After one long month of hard work, constant partying, and lots of TF2, we are finally able to release the BEST community/ collaboration texture pack in the history of Minecraft. What started out as a simple collaboration between a few inexperienced artists has quickly grown into a full out project with the intent of being the best collaboration pack you'll ever lay your eyes on. Jungles, vines, temples, and ­ing tiki heads. What more would you want? So without further adieu, Leostereo, Lilyo, Thimontheluff, Galago, CowThing, and The Barinade (with help and support from Dustyboozer, Strdr, and Alanay) present to you ..... JUNGLE RUINS!

-You will need to download OPTIFINE (this will also fix the white spiders and endermen) or MCPATCHER in order to see the water and lava (soon to be animated!) and compass and watch.
-Most 1.9 texture are NOT YET COMPLETED and we are using the default as placeholders.
-We recommend you use MATMOS with this pack! It adds great atmosphere to the game.

Oh yeah, and did I mention, he's a GIANT wolf!! Lemme know what ya think of him!

Modeled as close as I could get to the wolves seen in Jeb's video, this one stands guard next to my Twin Dungeon Outpost (named for what resides beneath it, as you probably guessed). It was a bit of a challenge...these things are more detailed than any of the other mobs, so I had to approximate in some places. I think he turned out great though. Not quite as big as I thought it would be when I started it; 13 blocks tall, 8 blocks wide, and 27 blocks nose-to-tail.

You can have a Wooly Wolf too! Below is the .schematic for this big silver beast, so grab one, and enjoy!
http://dl.dropbox.co...f.schematic.zip



He looked very strange with his tail sticking straight out like they do in the video, so he holds his at "half-mast".




His ear isn't really on fire, it's the torch tower behind him.


EDIT - 23 June 2012: It's been a while since I've revisited Wooly, and a lot has changed since then. His home got ravaged by the biome changes in 1.2, and he had to grow some torches on his back to fend off the snow. I've been thinking about relocating the beast, since I hate coming here now. Snow sucks.

1a: The reliance on the wiki/community.









1b: How to fix it.







2a: The difficulty.







2b: How to fix it.

-Make health and mob damage the same across all difficulty levels.

-Remove the ability to change difficulty modes mid-game.

-Do more things like the "zombies can break down doors in hard". THIS actually makes for difficulty- mob intelligence. Preferably, make zombies able to break down doors in normal.

-Add more mechanics that are changed via difficulty.

-Make normal harder than the current game, and hard truly difficult. Easy should be about as easy as it currently is (which is actually very easy).

-Give mobs a lot more abilities. Zombies that can turn villagers into zombies, make zombies not de-spawn in hard, allow spiders to hang upside down, etc. Then adjust whether these abilities work or not depending on game-mode.






3a: The mobs.










3b: How to fix it.

-Give mobs a longer sight range. WAY longer. If I can see them, they should be able to see me. Like, 128 blocks long. Automatically, they become more of a threat with this- besides, it's just a stupid generic MMORPG thing where mobs only see you within X distance. KILLS the idea of them being threatening.

-Make zombies- at the very least- faster. They're such a joke right now. And I don't mean on "hard" difficulty, I mean for ALL difficulty modes. They should be as fast as the player.

-Make creepers only spawn underground. Having them spawn aboveground is just... it kills tension, and ruins the image they have of "scary" even more. They're only remotely threatening underground- keep them this way.

-Make it so mobs only spawn in a light level of 4 or less, rather than 8 or less. This makes it so they only spawn in dense areas of forests, jungles, or underground. I've personally played around with this myself, and holy crap it feels great.

-Make spiders able to crawl upside down, and also make them actually change their image when they're doing this (as well as crawling upside down). Seriously, they look upright when crawling up walls... that's just silly, and lazy.

-Put in those planned mob prefixes- as in, mobs that randomly spawn with special effects/abilities. Things like being faster, able to light the player on fire, able to jump higher, able to be 3x as big, able to bounce projectiles back at the player, etc... there's tons of ideas for this. They shouldn't spawn ALL the time, but maybe a 1-in-10 chance to have a prefix (where the prefix itself is random). In of itself, this makes the world more dynamic.

-Make more biome-specific mobs. As in, enemy mobs- not more pets. They should have a use, but then it's not like zombies have any real use. I'd suggest that new mobs be able to drop items used for new potions, or something. This'd make biomes waaay nicer to go to, and is in line with the next section.

-Make slimes spawn above-ground, holy crap. They're important mobs, but tediously searching for them underground is INSANELY ANNOYING. I'd suggest making them spawn in swamps- the "only spawns in certain chunks" thing is alright, but still. They should spawn aboveground.

-Make new mobs drop items useful for the general game- again, ingredients for unique potions is a fantastic idea. Or just... other things that are truly unique (instead of more variations of the same crap).






4a: The biomes and terrain in general.








4b: How to fix it.

-Have more unique, biome-only rewards. Things like ingredients for new potions- USEFUL new potions. Hell, lilypads could be used for a "Potion of Water Walking". Things like this make biomes useful to travel to.

-As per above, more biome-specific mobs. Not "SssSand creeper (:", or mummies that are zombies with a different skin, or something equally dumb. I mean a mob that's really different from the other ones still, and give unique item drops. Snakes that are the size of silverfish, but can poison you, and only attack you if you get pretty close to them. Sharks that only spawn in ocean biomes, and drop shark fins used for... some water-based potion. Things like this. I could go on for hours, but I'd rather make a mod to show how it can be done.

-Make trees taller. Seriously, they look like crap. I've already doubled the height of oaks and birch, and they look great (like they always should have looked). Pine/spruce look alright, though.

-Make use of the extra space you now have. This just infuriates me. First off, make the earth deeper- make it ~90 blocks instead of 63. This means, yes, making everything generate higher to match this, but this is fine. Then, make mountains (extreme hills) generate higher than just 64 blocks from the sea level (127 - 63 = 64). With the average sea level of 90, the average mountain should go up to ~200 (110 rather than 64 blocks from sea level). This still gives 56 blocks for players to build on top of the mountains. This is plenty to build a multi-level mansion with roof space. From the peak.

-Make a proper pre-requisite system to biome generation- right now, it's pretty much entirely random where biomes spawn, so you have taigas next to deserts, etc. They should use a flowchart of sorts- getting which biome is there, then deciding which biome(s) to generate around it depending on whether or not it would be appropriate to place it there. This wouldn't be too hard to implement, and would make things look a lot better. This also relies upon more biomes being put in (for more "transitional" biomes, like savanna between plains and desert), but that's kind've a given.

-As mentioned above, more biomes. Not just for the sake of having them, of course- but by now, that should also be a given. Things like Savanna's, Bogs, Marshlands, Hills (Just hills, not extreme hills... which should be renamed to mountains, anyway), Badlands, and plenty more. All of which have some use, and all of which should look different.

-Variations of existing biomes. Things like spruce forests (not just in taiga's anymore), rocky mountains (all stone instead of grass/dirt), forest mountain (think eastern United States) and so on would be nice. Variations of stone types would help, as well- brown, dark grey, etc. Similar to the variations in wood.

-Make plains more flat. Right now, they're basically hills, and that's a little silly. Make a hills biome, splitting it from the plains biome.

-Deserts shouldn't have pools of water in them. This is just stupid. Players should have to use desert wells for water here.

-Make dirt/grass slabs (again), then use it for generating hills. It's silly that I have to jump up just to go over a hill. Just have the slabs generate every other block on hills, or something, and it'd work fine.





5a: Lack of equipment choice.














5b: How to fix it.

-Add in "Knockback" as a weapon stat. At the same time, add "knockback resistance" to armor, with heavier armor having more knockback resistance. Mobs should also have varying levels of knockback resistance- skeletons could be easy to knock back, but zombies would be harder. Generally speaking, it should be harder to knock things back than it is right now.

-Add an attack speed stat for weapons. The fastest should be the default attack speed (which is 3 per second IIRC). Pretty straightforward-

-Make new weapons. Battle axes, maces, spears, crossbows- all of that, and preferably more. Give them unique levels of of those 3 stats (Damage, knockback, and attack speed). Then, give them unique secondary abilities (right click)- spears can be thrown, maces can stun, and so on. Maybe even make different weapons have another ability- spears could hit 1 block farther than regular weapons, etc. Tons of ideas, and as long as they're balanced, they'd be fantastic.

-Increase default sprint speed. Then, divide armor into different "armor classes", or assign them different "weight" levels. The better the armor, the heavier it is- heavy armor would make you sprint slower, and after a certain point, you'd be unable to sprint with really heavy armor. It should also disable certain other abilities (again, more on this later) after certain points. This would make going without armor fairly viable- just the same, going in full armor would mean you'd not be knocked back nearly as easily (and plus still be a juggernaut).

-Add more material types. Not just "dragon ore! better than diamond, but is really hard to get (:", because mods that do this are stupid as hell. I mean things within the bounds of iron or diamond- with unique uses. A "fire" ore that makes your weapons able to set things on fire with a set chance. Or tools that allows you to cook ores/etc you mine with a certain chance. And the armor can reduce fire damage, and with the full set can make you immune to it. But it'd be slightly worse than iron- better than stone/leather, but still a bit worse than iron. And that's just one new material type- there's so many more ideas. GOOD ideas, not just ideas that add more to "hurr tier 6 elite ultra dragon equipment!1".





6a: Lack of player abilities

7a: The community is terrible.

"Use mods."


"Minecraft is not an RPG."


"Players should be given the choice to play the game exactly as they want to."


"The game is about building, not fighting."


"The game is fine."


"Your changes are crap. They wouldn't make the game better."

sounds sketchy, kinda like saying "CLICK FOR VIRUS"

No on glowstone.

yes on jack-o-laterns.

No on any block with a torch on it.


Spawn at any light level, but you light up slime floors to prevent the other hostiles from spawning.

They spawn in their chunks on any solid block where your f3 coordinate says y= 40.6 or lower when you stand on that block.


Large slimes can no longer spawn in 2 high rooms, so if you want the largest slime make your room 3 high. They used to spawn and automatically suffocate down to 2-4 medium slimes.

Quote from Mathir_Girelad

Any plans for updating this?

I am planning to rewrite the mod completely from scratch.
The current mod is increasing in lagginess every time to update and I really think I should come up with a new system to do so.
The rewriting of the mod will take some time and effort (which I'm lacking the most), but I will try to update as soon as possible.

Once I found one in a cave. This one was round though. It was creepy.

I was exploring and harvesting vines and lily pads for decoration in my house when going back I jumped over a Ravine then found that there was another ravine under it is this rare?
