The game comes out in November, they are doing buggy content pushing through pre releases, and stabilized beta's.
This actually would have been a better system from the start for keeps those texture artists on top, instead of getting swamped at a new release. And modders wouldn't have had to worry about mods breaking when a **** bug fix update came out.
Why am i even bothering tho on the internet someone is always around to complain.
Is the pool table made with paintings on the sides?
Yes it's 4 different paintings being used.
The cue stick is currently on both sides but im thinking of changing the other side to one of those little slits where you can see the balls rolling towards the ball return.
Anyway here are the textures if anybody want's them.
16x16
Paintings:
Terrain:
Note: I am not sure if direction placed causes the texture to load in different ways, so you might need to rotate the middle 2 textures if you cant get the placement right (thus why there on their side right now.
I like it! Though I think it would look better with a texture pack (I think that for everything).
I completely agree, i was using Doku 32x Dark up until 1.6 and my world just doesnt feel the same, I dunno if im good enough with pixels to work in 32x32 but ill be trying when i get the time and of course doku32xdark is updated.
If i can't texture in 32x correctly ill probably just modify eldpack as its my favourite 16x texturepack.
You wouldn't normally have a pool table in a 'Tavern', though...pool is a relatively new invention, and would probably be more at home in a 'Pub'...but that's just a technicality, I suppose.
Actually billiards has been around since the 15th century. And your probably right about it being out of place in a tavern, but what can i say, i feel it add's personality and style to the room, and id honestly have no idea what else to fit in the spot.
I like the use of the Minecart in your workshop, is it intended to look like a sink? Or is that just me?...
To be honest it's just ment to be a minecart in for repairs, but now that you mention it. It kinda does look like a sink. So i guess ill try add in another minecart and make it a double sink complete with taps (levers)
Thanks for the idea. It'll be great for when i start building my kitchens. :smile.gif:
Update: Well here's a rough slap together of a sink. Don't know what i think about it yet.
I basically set off after the 1.6.4 update to create a shell for a tavern, and start using hatches. Id envisioned using them as Bar doors, those horizontal ones waitresses pass through, and also use them as some kind of workbench for my workshop.
I think the results are quite good. And with some proper textures on board i think my time will have been well spent.
The Castle Workshop
So here is my workshop inside my castle (Sorry for ugly lapis, no texture pack atm)
This is the hidden entrance into the storage below.
The Basement Storage Room.
Note: The castle is about 60% finished, tho im not very happy with it's asthetics, not to mention without good texture packs it looks hella ugly right now.
Mods Used: TooManyItems for Lapis+Gold+Obsidian Blocks.
The Town Tavern
Here is (Creeper Themed Name Pending) Tavern.
Inside we have a pool table and bar as well as an assortment of seating areas.
Take a load off and enjoy the scenery from our rooftop terrace & bar.
Also upstairs youll find our 2 rooms for guest's.
It's nothing too fancy but better then outside with the creepers right?
Note: I think im pretty much done with the Tavern, unless someone wants to make me a 16x16 Dartboard or 48x16 Dartboard in Cabinet.
Mods Used: Shelves, 16x16 Texture editing.
16x16
Paintings:
Terrain:
Note: I am not sure if direction placed causes the texture to load in different ways,
so you might need to rotate the middle 2 textures if you cant get the placement right.
(thus why there on their side right now)
Currently In Progress:
The Farmhouse
Its really only what you can see here so far *Lirerally*.
If it goes how i'm imagining it will be awesome.
Tip 1: Pick a difficulty now, and NEVER change.
Because people who consistently change their settings are just lame. (Unless your building on peaceful)
Tip 2: Never be afraid to restart your world.
Every time you start a world you bring all the experience from your past world with you.
Tip 3: Like an earlier poster said, never ever leave home without a bucket of water.
It might be an idea to also bring a pickaxe and torches.
Tip 4: Don't be a fool, use night time for mining, not sleeping.
Tip 5: Keep a selection of worlds for different uses.
This can range from an Invedit world, an MCedit world, a vanilla world, a modded world, a no sleeping world. All kinds of things, just keep your seperate experiences pure.
Tip 6: Cheating makes you bored.
It really does, when stuff is handed to you on a silver platter there is no sense of accomplishment.
The best feeling comes from looking at all your hard work and being able to say "I made that, and it was all me"
Tip 7: Don't follow the crowd on the forums.
Too many times i see a group of silly buggers going off with misinformed opinions.
Ex. Fortresscraft should be sued!, Notch is a lazy bugger, Her0brIne is r34l.
You wan't a real suggestion?
If you wan't to keep people interested don't make a 7 minute long FkN minecraft video where you do 90% of the talking about your FkN Server, your FkN website But most of all your FkN forums.
And honestly the video is just one big FkN tour.
It's boring.
Tho you do have the commentary skills, as in you have a good voice and don't talk like a 12 year old or sick.
Description: You begin locked up in the brig of an enormous galleon anchored at a sprawling cliffside.
Info:
Conception: Basically i wanted to create an adventure map. I threw alot of ideas around before just scrapping everything and creating a map first to build around. Eventually i got a map i was happy with and began writing the intro and some of the plot.
Texturepack: The map will feature a modified Eldpack (Seeking permission for this shortly) Some of the modifications can be viewed in the picture section below.
Release Date: Currently there is no set time for a release date and i can't actually promise i will finish it.
Contributors: _espionage_ - My brother who is helping me build some of the stuff for my map.
Others: Im not putting the names down yet, but this list will be of peoples work i am using, from texturepacks to scematics.
Features:
Story, End Goal, Hidden Secrets & Challenges, Modified Texturepack, Able to play multiplayer + Probably other things im forgetting to mention.
Introduction Preview: (WIP, story elements may change)
Jounal:
Entry 1: Dusk (30/11/1589)
Me and my wife have just boarded the "Unnamed" and set sail for a new place
to call home, life in Minecraftia has been very hard ever since sheriff Notchingham
raised the taxes. We havent even been able to afford the basics like bread and bucket.
On the verge of going broke we decided to put all our money together and escape on
one of those ships searching for new lands. Maybe our luck will change across the baron seas.
Entry 2: Dawn (1/12/1589)
I'm going to have a word with the captain, We are paying customers!
Not only were we forced to clean parts of the ship but we were also not given
the rooms that we paid for, they have forced us to sleep with the pigs!
Entry 3: Unknown Time (10/12/1589)
I've been locked in the brig for what seems like weeks, the captain didn't take too kindly to me shouting off about our treatment. He even went as far as to call me and my wife SCUMM™ and said we deserved to be treated like dirt. He says he can't find our payment recoreds, the bloody liar!! Hell get what's coming to him one day.
I miss my wife tho, I haven't seen her since i was locked up.
Entry 4: Unknown Time (12/12/1589)
I haven't seen anyone in days and im really hungry. I should find a way to escape before i starve to death.
Pictures:
This is the Galleon, i have not named her yet. I actually did not build her, tho i wish i did. It's an amazing ship that is just enourmous. All credits go to Cauliflowers of planetminecraft for the scematic. Im currently trying to get in contact with him for official permission to use it on my map. Tho if he says no i will probably just try build one myself, tho i don't think it would ever be as good as this.
This is the cell you begin in, i began by trying to create a rotten wood texture that the player must break through. Obviously it hasn't turned out as good as i had liked but its an ok start. Also you might notice that the signs have been retextured as thought bubbles. I thought this would be better then just having random signs everywhere.
While i was brainstorming i came up with an idea to reskin pumpkins and use the GUI as a telescope lens (What you see when you equip it as a helmet) It's really just for effect, it provides no actual zoom, Tho i have an idea to reskin the whole frame so that its a fake zoomed in picture of a hidden cave on the cliffside.
This is part of the cliffside, it literally hugs the coast for a good distance.
The beginings of the first village.
There will be secret den's scatered through the lands, some will be mini challenges and others will just be rewards for going out of your way. (Nothing will be found in wilderness, i won't force people to search high and low for stupid crap.
Ive also done some minor edits to some of the items so that some things can be filled with relevant items, like canons with canonballs in it. They won't serve any other purpose then to just look nice, tho i might scrap this idea. It's undecided.
Help List - This will be a list of things i want help with. Anyone that helps will have thier name featured in the story. Undecided whether im going to have NPC Blocks or just the owner names of journals.
#1 If anyone could make me a rotten wood texture i would be extremely happy, Basically it will be replacing birch tree logs. I gave it a shot myself but i keep having bad end results. See if you can do better. :smile.gif:
Anyway so that's all i can be bothered with right now. But if you have any suggestions or even criticism's let me know. I'll be trying my hardest to put out a nice adventure map that people will enjoy.
P.S Please remember this is a work in progress, everything you see is basically version 0.01 of the map.
Even when it is complete i will probably still go back and tinker with things i don't like. So everything is vunerable to change. :smile.gif: Anyway peace out.
This map is astounding.
Even tho my Adventurecraft crashed multiple times and i had to restart i found the map really enjoyable.
The mood is just epic good job on that.
I really hope to see a bug free version as well as more fantastic maps from you. :tongue.gif:
If anything the video shows that they could update all the mobs into beautifully animated masterpieces BUT
As anyone would be able to tell you, were still in beta, And more important stuff comes first.
Things like Pigs rolling in dirt, Sheep eating grass, Chickens Crowing at dawn & Cows sitting in the shade are all unimportant right now. Infact wolves are only getting worked on because notch promised an idol of his.
I will admit that these ideas are very good, and id no doubt like to see them in minecraft one day but just remember that they are working on more important features and probably will be for a long time before ever coming back to mob animations.
Now that you changed the thread title i feel like your definatley taking the **** :tongue.gif:
Either that or im just too critical minded.
Tho when i suggested that i was only being half serious, i don't know if spider queen really fits xD But i guess she can be a queen, if she so wishes. I mean who's gonna F with her and tell her otherwise right? No other mob has 100 hp that can deal with her and her minions of doom.
Crap now im just reminded of Narnia.

I did quite a bit of work since posting this, the new images are up of my finished tavern.
Which BTW i am accepting names for.
Creepers Nest is all i can really think of myself, and i don't think it's all too good.
P.S If there's no interest i won't be updating the thread, obviously no point wasting time if no ones gonna look. :tongue.gif:

Wrong, you can collect the "Locked Chest" if you have a creeper explode it.

Like say
3 points per jail cell *Max Points 15*
10 Points per floor *Max Points 50*
Otherwise people will just build an endless hall of cells and stuff.
