It's an open cave. Moreso an archway of land over a dark, open area. It honestly looks really cool, and when I try to look outside of it, it's even harder to see what's in it XD
The seed 'Saving chunks' without the single quotes has a massive floating island pretty close to the spawn.
Amazing map.
I didn't see one. Maybe because I didn't leave my personal spawn.
All spawn points on these worlds are totally different. Most of the time, anyway.
at X-52, Z 53, I spawned RIGHT NEXT TO a Lava pool next to a Sand Hill. The area looked a bit flat in chunk generation, though.
if the cutscenes are unlocked, they're basically a bunch of small minecraft machinimas. They will end up on youtube in a matter of minutes, and people won't bother to try to unlock them.
I personally don't like the idea of achievements, because it makes you feel like you're following someone else's rules of "success". If a player doesn't want to go to the nether, doesn't care about mining rare ores or spelunking, and just wants to build an extremely large monument out of cobblestone, that player would have no achievements, while another player who spent the whole game working to find a lot of gold, for example, would have a lot of achievements, but nothing fun to do... in a sandbox game, there's no real way to keep that from being biased towards one gameplay type.
Thank you! X3 I couldn't say this better myself.
Cutscenes would just be pointless if unlocked, because they WOULD end up on youtube. And achievements just don't seem very great when you're not really aiming to do anything in a sandbox world.
Honestly, my only goal on this game is to build awesome stuff. I really personally want to build Castles and villages, decked out in vibrant colors, and make a world out there. I honestly thought that was what Minecraft was about- Building your world. I never ever thought of it, nor would ever want it to be, a game where you focus on achievement-whoring.
It's an achievement all in itself when you have an enormous statue of Ghandi guarding your town where flags flitter in the breeze in all different colors with stone houses decorated with chairs and cushions of all different tones. A castle with a grand throne and pictures of kings and famous men lining it... I could go on and on about my perfect world, with me standing atop the tallest mountain in the distance, waving goodbye, and then running into a grand new adventure, without popups telling me I just won 100 Mojang points for placing 10000 blocks and then having them all leave my sight. This was a game where you choose your goals, not let the game guide you in a direction...
Not to shoot down cutscenes or anything. Cute as they may be, it just destroys the whole point of making your story. I wouldn't mind watching a few adorable videos of Humans and Creepers duking it out like in a cartoon from the 90's. But that's doable on Youtube already.
I can totally play Minecraft on Google Chrome. Browser is fine =p

It did for a while... When it was completely new. But it's been a day and now it's busted.
I don't know if this has been suggested on this thread, but here goes...
Maybe if you could collect the turtle shells, and if future Minecraft updates allow for this... Then you can craft a shield out of the turtle shell (Or even a helmet!) Which can protect against damage fairly decently. It should be a decent defensive amount, especially since it's not that easy to kill a turtle.
I LOVE the idea of turtles X3 And to have them move along trails of flowers would be great =D That definitely opens up the possibility of farming flowers =D
Alright, I have to admit: I would like a cutscene for death. And I really do like the idea of it showing a replay of how you died. It would help just a little bit so I can learn where I go wrong. However, it's not really a cutscene, is it? It's a death replay XD
Other than that, it's mainly a distraction from the game itself and a setback from playing. At times in real life (since I actually DO have a life XD) I just want to play Minecraft really quick to escape reality for the limited time I have. Implementing a bunch of cutscenes for accolades I accomplish would just be a waste. Not only of time (even if there's a skip, you still go through a bit because it catches you unexpectedly), but of space and loading time, if there is any. The video would have to load every single time you do achieve something, and it would also add to the amount of disk space the files use on your computer. Some people here actually don't have a lot of Hard Disk space, but play Minecraft on a whim. We're going for playability, not fanciness and cutesy videos. They have games out there for people who want to watch movies, but this is one game where you make your own story, not let a camera control your fate.
Short and sweet: I believe that we should be able to locate spider webs in dark locations, even if spiders are not present in the world (playing with no Mobs) So that it would be possible to make fishing poles and bows without going through the hassle of fighting them or having to convince your admin to turn on Mobs. But when Mobs are on, the Spider webs have a higher chance of spawning spiders. Occasionally, one will come out of the web. Since there's already a texture for webs, it should have some sort of use. Waka waka
I'd have to say that I agree with Muncher. Cutscenes just seem pointless in the long run. They may be cute little videos that you watch after you do something, but there's no ground on that. It just gets in the way of gameplay as you watch it. Sure, some people would enjoy watching them, but we have to focus on surviving and building, right? We can't exactly do that when we're in a cutscene from achieving something in a free, open-environment sandbox game. All in all, cutscenes in a sandbox game is just no-go. There's no way it could be implemented without it causing some sort of error. Point? This is a survival and building game, not an adorable adventure game.
I hate that kinda crap :sleep.gif: Microsoft always seems to "update" everything you don't want it to mess with. Score another failpoint on the crap train into Hell that Microsoft is driving.
Server's prolly down for updates. I mean, Beta 1.2 JUST came out, and Methyd's hosting computer is kinda iffy at times. I'm sure, however, it will be up later. =D
