To be honest, the game doesn't really feel like Minecraft any more. It just doesn't have that survivalist theme, with no goal at all. Now it just feels different. Honestly I like 1.7.3 more than 1.8 because it still feels like Minecraft.
OoC : Out of Character IGN : catinthehat Sources : Forum Thread IC Name : Ashur Melo IC Age : Young Adult Race : Elf Profession : Soldier/Hitman/Assassin Class : Archer Background : As a young only child, Ashur Melo loved spending time outside. He is the son of Elyard and Andora Melo, and he lived far away from any civilization in a small forest surrounded by prairies. With no siblings nor friends near his home, all he had was the outdoors for company. He would sing with the birds, and chitter with the chipmunks, and they would respond by flocking towards him. He had names for all of them.
It was an ordinary day, Ashur's father was out felling trees for timber, and his mother was preparing lunch for the three of them. Ashur said goodbye to his mother and set off to the log where all his woodland friends would congregate. Countless hours later, the sun was setting, and Ashur set off home. But he felt something strange. He sprinted as fast as he could back home, but there was something was wrong. He could see no smoke coming from the chimney of the little cottage where he was raised, there was no smell of his mother's cooking. But he could see them. Dark elves. There was a whole group of them, and they were passing by the house. Ashur dove into the bushes nearest to him before they could spot him. The dark elves broke through the door to the house and started to destroy and loot Ashur's home. He heard his father's voice yelling, and then his mother screaming, then silence. The elves left soon after, carrying valuables and food. He waited until he could no longer hear their footsteps in the dark. Ashur ran into the structure that protected him from the elements for so many years, but it wasn't any longer. It was a tomb.
Ashur no longer wanted to be there. He did not want to be reminded that this was the place his family was slaughtered. There were no provisions in the house, save for the bow that his father hunted with. Ashur had never learned how to wield it, but he soon became familiar with the ways it worked. He vowed never to hunt any animal with that bow, lest it be of dire emergence. He could not bear the thought of eating one of his woodland friends. Ashur gathered berries and nuts and stuffed them into a rucksack which he slung over his shoulder. He set off for New Cormyr, in hopes to make a living and avenge his parents.
I've been wondering about creepers as of late. I have many different theories at to what creepers actually ARE, and I'm going to discuss them. :biggrin.gif:
What ARE creepers?
When I first played Minecraft, I had no idea what kind of thing a creeper was related to. Spiders are related to spiders in the real world, skeletons are based off of human skeletons, and of course zombies are based of off (you guessed it!) zombies. So what are creepers? Are they radio-active humans, mutated by toxic waste? Are they shrunken green giraffes? Or are they just a random creation of Notch?
Why do creepers spawn in caves?
One theory I have to this is that creepers breed underground. That they make underground nests where they lay their eggs during mating season. Along with this theory is that SLIMES are the pupal stage of creepers. (The fact that slimes only spawn in specific chunks of the map supports the nesting ground theory) The large slimes are the almost full grown creepers, and the reason they split when you hit them is because baby slimes need to connect in order to form a full grown creeper. So, the large slime is just a "cocoon" that holds the two slimes while they conjoin, and when you kill the baby slimes the "slime balls" are actually the reproductive organ of each gender, so when they are combine into a full grown creeper, they are asexual, like worms.
Why is it that when a creeper kills a skeleton the skeleton drops a music disc?
The way I think of it is that inside a creeper there are 2 things that create an explosion, gunpowder and a special organ filled with an acidic liquid. When a skeleton shoots, it always aims for the most vital organ. So when a skeleton shoots a creeper, it will hit the organ filled with "creeper juice", for lack of a better word, it punctures it and it starts leaking. Now when the creeper explodes on the skeleton, most of that fluid goes flying, landing on the skeleton. When the "creeper juice" hits the extremely old bones of the skeleton, it doesn't dissolve it, creates a chemical compound that can be used to make records. Why it automatically turns into one, I don't know.
Why are there no creeper mob spawners?
Well, first let's answer the question, "What is a mob spawner?" My idea of a mob spawner is that they are magical. I think that some sorcerer imprisoned the essence of a mob into the mob spawner, and placed them randomly around the world. So why can't creepers be in them? Because, creepers are biological creatures. They reproduce by themselves. How are zombies and skeletons formed? MAGIC! And don't say, "Spiders aren't magic!" Because when have you seen a spider that large?
Thank you for reading guys, if you want me to answer other questions you can just post them below :biggrin.gif: (They don't have to be only creeper related)

I might join a faction, but it depends on what the benefits are.
Been playing for about a year now, I don't really like making really large projects, but I love building small house/buildings :biggrin.gif:
