I never have issues getting from climax to climax...

Dont wanna sound cliche...but no pics no clicks

Server is picking up speed. Was on with a good number of people today and we started building a town (using Towny) just outside of the spawn. Come on and join if you want in on it!

You guys should toss up a few pictures to the first post. I'm sure that'll attract new people to the server, Always nice to see what you is available before you go through the trouble of actually going to the server

Just joined the server and it looks REALLY good. I would recommend it to anybody looking for a small server that is ready to get big. Buildings look great and there are lots of areas to be explored.

I would suggest keeping silly animated movie ideas out of the game. This one in particular. And what the hell? Noodle soup? Where noodles are crafted from string? C'mon man

I agree with this. I rarely if ever use the Nether in my games, so I need more reasons to go there, not less.

As is, the only real purpose of netherrack is to be on fire. I'm okay with that. But only the top of the block is flammable - why can't the sides of netherrack be lit on fire?

When you add guitars to Minecraft, you become a street performer.
When you become a street performer, people put emeralds in your hat.
When people put emeralds in your hat, you go and trade with the local villagers.
When you go and trade with the local villagers, they give you a bad deal for a loaf of bread.
When they give you a bad deal for a loaf of bread, you strike them with your sword.
And when you strike them with your sword, you get thrown into the air by an iron golem.

Don't get thrown into the air by an iron golem.

Honestly, I don't see how this is different from the iron golem. This doesn't add much to the game.

have u ever been in a biome with only sheep like a snow biome well i have numerous times and i keep killing sheep desperately trying to get food but everywhere i look is sheep,snow and mountain i think it would be great if they added lamb chop to sheep so that way i dont always starve to death.

"Climax" is slang for "orgasm". That's the joke. And it only becomes difficult to get from climax to climax after the fourth or so.

Alright, i've been playing for a week now, and the server is great and all...except i'm never on when an Admin, or any staff member is on. I'd really like to suggest some stuff, or ask for help but they are NEVER on. Also, Aerospoint is becoming larger as a town, all thanks to me and throwindown, i think its getting more interesting.

Also, Could you put the difficulty on normal? Its so annoying playing without mobs or mob drops. If you're worried about creepers and enderman destroying stuff, there are plugins to prevent mob destruction.

One more thing, there needs to be some more alchemy stuff on the market. Especially nether warts, cause you can't find em at all in the nether. Speaking of the nether, no permission to build there, and no mobs makes the nether useless.

Ima check out the ventrilo server though. I just want more staff on that's all. Still having fun though.

There have been several posts that immediately discarded this idea because wheels are round. Surely this means there are several readers who have done likewise but not commented. I implore you to read the entire post and open this post by saying this: The wheel would only be round in the inventory. Any model showing a wheel would have that wheel be square.
If you still are not convinced, redpine has brought up quite the valid point. Snowballs, slimeballs, ghastballs, and records are all circular! :tongue.gif:


I think Minecraft is missing two important things. A way to carry more items and an alternate source of string. My proposed solution for these problems comes in a circular form.

Yes a wheel! It would not take much resources but would then be used in other crafting recipes, like the following.


I imagine the wheelbarrow would look similar to this:

Ahaha! Yes a square wheel. XD I think it would look both awesome and hilarious, especially when it begins to spin. Anyhow, the wheelbarrow would be a vehicle controlled much like a boat. You would have the option to hold shift to pivot the wheelbarrow about on a fixed axis. While manning the wheelbarrow you would not be able to jump, that means anywhere you want to use a wheelbarrow must be accessible via stairs, half-blocks, or just plain old flat ground.
You would also not be able to craft while using a wheelbarrow, your hands are full. Instead you would see this:

Using the wheel you would also be able to make a Spinning Wheel!

I picture something similar to this being placed like any other block:

This would finally give a use to wool and allow players to make string. The Spinning Wheel would only work while you are interacting with it and would convert one block of wool to nine pieces of string. Right clicking on the Spinning wheel would give you a screen like the next picture. Several people have posted that they feel 9 string is way too many to be receiving from one piece of wool. Many have also posted that they think the player should not be able to make string at all. The number is variable and ultimately would be the choice of Notch. There has been a suggestion I would like to mention however. Mystify has suggested that there be a division made between string and spider silk. Depending on which you used it would alter the quality of the item in the same way that a diamond sword is better than a wooden sword.


Problems?
"I am not comfortable with circles..." Don't worry, its only like that in the inventory. Any model in game would have a square shaped wheel :biggrin.gif:
"This changes the whole value of string. It is supposed to be difficult to get. Players have to hunt down spiders for it. It makes a bow very valuable." Alright lets examine this for a second. Minecraft is based more or less on real life. String is a very very basic commodity. Ancient civilizations made it all the time. You do not have to kill a deer and rip out its tendons to make string, though that is a viable option. People have been making lashings for millenniums. Now for the second part of that. A Spinning Wheel still requires a string to make it, so a player will have had to kill some spiders to get it. String becomes a much more easily obtained resource, but you do still need to have killed a spider or two to get it. Happy?
"Now wait a minute! What is a player to do with all the string that will suddenly become available to him?" This is the part I like. String suddenly becomes as common and an item as wood, and could become as crucial, leaving Notch plenty of room to expand the tech-tree of crafting. I know many players have really been wanting to see ropes. Players could create a loom to convert string into cloth; and from there? Sails, bags, more decor like clothing, curtains, rugs.
"This still leaves the players with a lot of string and not much to do with it. How do you propose to fix that?" Simple, Redstone. Redstone is an endgame item that has incredible uses. If you have the resources to acquire redstone, you are going to have the resources to make string. Now many of you are not going to like this, but hear me out. Redstone in dust form can no longer be used as wire. Instead, players will actually make wire. With increased discussion on this topic, I think having dust and wire coexist would be the preferable choice.

"Are you mad?! Why would you compound the cost of redstone?! It will break all my existing machines too! Burn him!" No no no no, Perhaps we can leave the dust as an option. I do not like that idea as much but its not my call. My suggestion is that all redstone 'wire' that is already placed will become the new redstone wire. "Ha, but that is similar to giving players hundreds of strings." Yes well, they would have had the strings before if the Spinning Wheel had been implemented earlier. "I am still not convinced. Why make redstone more difficult to use?" Ah, now we come to the exciting part. The new redstone wire, would be wire, not dust. In this way you could put wire on walls and ceilings! :biggrin.gif: I love this idea. It means a lot of work for Notch, but hey, its his job isn't it?
"Why would I make a wheelbarrow when I can make a minecart and put a chest in it. Geez! This is already in the game." No its not! I should smack you people! Minecarts take iron, and the tracks take even more. Not only that but if you wish to travel with your goods, it takes another cart and likely another propulsion system... or you could use the glitch to have them propel each other.. but that would take twice as much track, and therefor iron! This is not a minecart copy! Comparing the two is ridiculous. Stop the ridiculousness. Stop it now.

Any more questions? Ridicule? Comments? Concerns?

Also! If we ever want this to reach the eyes of we are going to have to make this thread well known. If you are reading this and like the idea of it, post something! Even if it is as simple as.
"I think this would be a great addition to the game. Please add this Notch!"
Try to keep the thread alive!

Also! ...again. I made a little banner. If you could put it in your signature it would help spread knowledge, and hopefully support, about the wheel in Minecraft.
