How Long Have You Played Minecraft: Since Dec. 2010, so a little over 2 years now. Coming back from a months hiatus though.

What Is(are) Your Favorite Thing(s) To Do In Minecraft: Probably messing around with redstone contraptions. I'm no redstone genius but I know my away around it. Basically if you need to make an excessively complex and extraneous machine for a simple task, I'm there.

What do you feel you can contribute to this server?: Time more then anything else I suppose. My schedule is pretty light at this time and I can be online almost every day for and hour or so. Otherwise I can't claim real specialized skill; like I said I'm good with redstone and outside of that I'm a pretty decent builder, although interiors primarily.

Do you understand that griefing/cheating will result in a no questions asked perma-ban: Yep, pretty straightforward stuff there.

Tell Us A Bit About Yourself: Not much to say really; just a uni student wasting his free time on video games, nothing surprising there

Hmm, while I wouldn't mind mushroom islands being slightly more common, I wonder if their rarity is all that great or if its also a matter of people not exploring oceans like they do for land. When I've gone out to ocean exploring, I've found them 2 out of 3 major oceans I've explored in my worlds.

Glad to see this is still going. Anyways, scaled up to to 32x. I didn't really mess around much with it since posting those but just for fun here are a few other variants I made during the original process, with one animated as well.




Edit: Increased the images to match the size in the recipe and added a bit of background for clarity.

Dinnerbone was working on a lectern a while ago, not sure what happened to it but if it ever gets finished I would expect it to function something like this. Someone places a lectern and the rule book to go with it so all new members could read the book without having to pick up a copy of the rule book.

Found the picture of it:

We don't bang on our enchanting tables with a hammer....

Our wooden crafting tables on the other hand...

Just a small idea I had with all the new food items and their use in potion, more of the potion ingredients could be edible. Mostly so brewing feels more connected to the ingredients used, like the carrots and night vision potion now, and so newer and/or non-wiki using players have another way of identify possible potion reagents and their effects.

These are the items I think should be added listed with their effects plus food values.

Golden Carrots: Night vision for 4 seconds, same food and saturation as now

Glistering Melon: Heals 1/2 a heart, fills 1 food bar and 5.2 saturation

Fermented Spider Eyes: Since a corruption effect doesn't really mean anything to the player I figured just plain damage would do given that seems to be its primary use. 1/2 heart of damage, 20% of hunger effect since I can't imagine those are remotely tasty, fills 1.5 food bars and 3.2 saturation

Magma Cream: Fire resistance for 6 seconds, fills 2 food bars and 6 saturation

Sugar: Speed for 4 seconds, fills 1/2 a hunger bar and .2 saturation

Blaze Powder: Strength for 5 seconds, 40% chance of catching fire, fills 1/2 a hunger bar and .8 saturation

The rest would be non-edible, mostly for obvious reasons, nether wart, redstone and glowstone have no effect it can give on the player. Ghast tears could of course have a regeneration effect but I've always thought of them as crystals as so not really edible. I'm not sure about that though, so feel free to comment and what you think ghast tears are like and whether they should be edible or not.

As a side note I'd also like to propose the addition of a new brewing recipe; Potion of Regeneration made by Golden apples. Gold in Minecraft seems to amplify certain properties of items so when brewed those potions give of an certain effect that the plain item would not give. Both golden carrots and melons make potions, so why not the apple, and continuing with the style above the Golden apple should create a potion based of the effect given when eaten. I'd suggest it requires being brewed into a thick potion though, (glowstone base), so different base potion might actually be useful and so cost wise it remains similar to current regen potions.

Any comments, additional suggestions, and criticisms are welcome.

I just had an idea:

Suppose the XP nerf is added as a server option? That way server admins have a simple way to either prevent or allow XP grinding as they please.

As for SSP... just don't build a grinder. If you complain about grinders, and then go and build one yourself... you have issues. o_O

As someone who disliked the nerf in the snapshot I'd gladly support this. Making it easier for the servers that don't want grinders to keep them out is fine by me.

This is all wild speculation off another possible feature that has in no way been confirmed. I'd say this thread belongs more in the suggestions forum then here.

Shift clicking the map makes copies of map_0. Just clicking will create a map centered around where you put it together.

Its just to make the recipe seem slightly more realistic, books do need some sort of binding. I think the recipe change is fine, but I do wish they would have increased leather drops because of it. Leather armor barely gets made already and now it has to compete with books, not to mention how much more time consuming it will be to build any sort of library now.

Quote from TwentyFive

I don't get it... Why do people accept different types of trees and not different types of mounts? I mean, why have more then 1 type of tree? They all have wood. They are all used for the same thing. Its "redundant" (see where I'm going with this? But don't get me wrong, I like all the trees) You know why they added more trees? To add to the environment and too give players more variety. Its the same with horses and pigs. They are both mounts. Some people like pigs, some like horses. Its to add variety. That's what minecraft is about. YOU choose what mount you want to ride. YOU choose what wood you want to use. YOU choose if you want charcoal or coal. YOU choose if you want cracked stone brick or mossy stone brick. See? VA-RI-E-TY

Here's the difference. Every single different wood type is the same as the other, different only in looks, method of obtainment, and jungle wood's ability to have cocoa beans grown on it. Yes, you can choose between a pig or a horse, but the more advantageous choice will be the horse - for example, the horse's ability to wear armor. Picking the pig to ride will be challenging and rather stupid when compared to the horse, almost like choosing an iron sword rather than a diamond one.
I think horses will be very cool, but I believe balance is crucial for the usefulness of pigs, lest they become as worthwhile as leather before 1.3.

Just in case you haven't been able to share my point of view yet, here's an analogy to think about. There's a group of people making a web page, an awesome web page that they want to be very successful; let's say it'll be a new search engine to rival Google. For kicks.
In the team of people you have the programmer, who is working on making the web page functional; you have the web designer, who's working on making the web page organized, intuitive and easy to navigate. Finally, you have the graphic designer, whose job might not seem as crucial as the others, but he's in charge of making sure the web page's background, logo, graphics, and other related objects are looking good.
The team is diligently working along, but the web designer isn't doing the best job possible. He does a good job but it doesn't go above and beyond like it needs to. The programmer and the graphic designer discuss this problem. But instead of looking into getting the web designer educated on how to do his job even better, they decide to hire a new web designer altogether. Now the first web designer isn't being given any tasks to accomplish, as the new web designer is doing it all. The first web designer is then forced to watch the new one do his job.
Moral of the story: The programmer and the graphic designer should've looked into making the first web designer better at his job, and if they needed more help, they could've hired the second web designer to work on navigation while the first one worked on organization.

The first web designer is the pig in this analogy, the new one is the horse. The bolded sentence is similar to Mojang adding horses instead of making the pigs a bit better.
I hope that, at least, gave you a better insight into my logic. And FYI, I am excited for horses. I just wish Mojang wouldn't leave the pigs left being overshadowed by two mobs, the cow (food-wise) and the horse (mount-wise).

Okay before starting, I based this mob from the Auroras in the polar regions.




(Like this, except in blocky form)

Appearance
A giant bird which is one half the size of the Enderdragon.
It is semi-transparent, colored sky blue and is basically light. It also has a trail of light waves which I want to be longer than it looks like in the picture.
It is luminous and glows in the dark

Behavior
It flies around the Taiga and Tundra biomes, avoiding all other biomes.
If spawned with third party programs or commands, it will find the nearest Tundra or Taiga
It always flies in the altitude it spawned in, and wont go to a different altitude.
It cannot collide with and is unaffected by all types of blocks.
It is silent and does not make sound creates a long soothing sound upon it passes the player. Only the players who it passed on will hear the sound.
It leaves a trail of light which slowly disappears. These light trails are similar to the Enderdragon's light beams when defeated, except blue in color. Never mind. I want it to be Aurora Borealis style.
It is never provoked and never does any damage.

Death
It immediately dies when sunrise comes
Death animation: It will slowly fade away while still flying
(Note: In the game, it wont appear as if it was dying. But rather, it will only appear as if it was disappearing because of the sunlight)

Stats
Health Points: Invulnerable (Dies only during sunrise, immediately)
(Note: To those questioning why it does not get hurt, is because it is made up of light)
Strength: N/A
(Note: It is passive)
Spawn: 20% chance of spawning, in Tundra and Taiga biomes, at altitudes 150 and above, during night. Only one will spawn in each biome.
Drops: N/A
Experience: N/A

Uses
Intended Use: Aesthetics (It will not affect normal gameplay)

Adventure Maps:
(Examples)


Other Information

Does anyone know exact zombie / skeleton damage rates, etc, for the update compared to current 147, broken down by difficultly mode????? If the changes mostly apply to hard mode and above I'm not gonna lose sleep over it.

As for me, v125 at "normal" was exactly where I want Minecraft to be mob toughness wise. v147 is fine too except I don't like that creepers now seem to explode further away. My armor is strong enough that I don't normally fear death from one or two detonations, but don't like that there is now more chance they will harm the environment.

I love spelunking, but my primary thrust is resource gathering, exploring and building. Mobs are there to keep me on my toes and punishment me for letting my guard down. The last thing I want is for mobs to become so threatening that all else takes a back seat. We're talking normal mode here of course. I'm all for increased mob damage for those who crave it at higher difficulty levels. Heck, I like a challenge too, just not based on making hostile mobs so threatening they become the focus of the game.

Here ya go.
Using the new droppers. and new uhm. bathroom tiles. =)
Replace water with lava or water flow channel or whatever.

Major updates have two or more months between releases. That's fine. Most bugfix updates are also given a week or more notice now, which allows most mod makers to update to account for the minor fixes before release. That's also fine. Things like texture packs and HD textures will no longer be a problem and will work after updates.

Also, pro-tip, the game asks you if you want to update. If you rely on mods that need to be updated, don't update the game yet. It isn't Mojang's fault that some people can't update based on mods right away, requiring some patience, although they are graciously doing what they can with the pre-releases of bugfix updates, major content updates and snapshots.

Good to know that crash fixes are 'miscellaneous crap', though.
