It does, though the sounds for the guardians haven't been added yet.

Although the wiki says that Cane Bugs require level 55 hunter, you can actually damage them normally after level 5 (and they drop a ton of hunter experience). Which one is correct?

Also I feel that some of the harder mobs should drop more vanilla XP, since after all it is harder to kill (the Blaze, for example, drops 10 xp, twice that of most mobs).

In the meantime I will go check out DRPG and see how it's changed since 1.4.7 (hopefully Frosts don't burn down forests anymore ).

Vanilla Endermen still spawn; also you can adjust the Classic Enderman's spawn rate in the config.

Can you make it say in the instructions that it works with 1.7.10 please? It could spare a lot of peoples time.

 [spoiler] -ERROR LOG HERE- [/spoiler] 

ruby ore will be the next rarest ore in the entire game and can only be found in ore singularities like emeralds, except rubies in the nether are much more rare then emeralds in the extreme hills. They will be 10x more rare then emeralds! They can only be mined with diamond pick-axe. It takes just as long to mine the ore as obsidian. Can be smelted into ruby and can be crafted into ruby block (for decoration) Each ruby ore has a detection radius of about 75 blocks. (more or less) So if any zombie pigman are in that radius, IN A SENSE- zombie pigman will know the scent of the ruby and will know if you mined it, or if you are possessing it, and they will become hostile to you including all the ones in the vicinity.

The laser gun: Fires a red laser similar to a red laser gun in star wars. It will have a sight and leave a block of fire wherever it hits! The laser gun is 1 round burst with 100% range and accuracy (except when hip firing, and laser disappears within your loaded chunks) and every shot can only be fired every .5 seconds and has a durability of 100 shots. Once out of durability, it will become a "empty laser gun" This can be simply repaired in a anvil. I already know your thinking, "that's way too OP!" that's why its only going to do 1/10 the damage of an arrow. Can be crafted with the following: glass plane on the right, ruby in the middle, redstone torch on the left, stick on bottom-left, and iron ingot on top (for a sight).

What kind of shovel did you use to dig this thread from its 2011 grave?

I've fixed both of those bugs in the next update, thanks for reporting them

As for 2.5-2.7, I will not be doing those on 1.7.10.

The more stuff I add to 1.7.10, the longer it takes to get to 1.12, which a LOT of people are waiting for.

Think of the premise - if a developer stays with 1.7.10 because no-one else is moving away from it, then what reason would any other developer have to move on from 1.7.10 either?

Sometimes we have to accept the past and move forward, and 1.7.10 now being almost exactly 4 years old, it's probably about time we moved forward.

If other developers don't want to put the time into updating, there's not a whole lot I can do about that, and it's on them to do something about it.

At the moment, 1.1 is planned to be the last content update for 1.7.10, after that release I'll be moving to 1.12mc.

I will still do bug fixes for 1.7.10 if required

Just putting this out there, Scimiguy has received my permission to update this mod. I've given him the source and other unreleased content. This doesn't mean I'm totally dissociating myself from AoA, but since I won't be working on it myself it makes sense that someone with the desire to do so can.

Who's ready for 1.0.3!?

As always, you can download the latest jar file in my signature, or from this link: http://tslat.net/Hosting/AoA-Tslat-1.0.3.jar

You can view the changelogs here: https://pastebin.com/L0ThhruE

Update 1.0.3 marks almost 500 bug fixes since I began!!!

Don't forget, you must remove any old versions of the mod jar file, and any of Xolova's versions before you use this one, as they will not run together

Get set for Version 1.1 - The inflated update!

_________

Have you ever looked up into the blocky sky and wanted to touch the stars? Outer Space has been a highly requested suggestion from the minecraft community, and I believe it should be added as well. However most of the suggestions I have seen regarding the topic haven’t been thought fully out. Minecraft’s fantasy theme doesn’t fit well with rockets and UFO’s, so Outer Space must be adapted. Furthermore, Outer Space needs to be unique enough to differentiate it from the End.

If done correctly, I think that Outer Space could revitalize this game. It’s not secret that the game has passed it's golden days. The ocean overall is great, but it should have happened years ago. Back in the early days, updates with plenty of features came every couple of weeks. Now they come every 6 months, and some have very few interesting features. My idea for outer space is very radical and it would completely change the game. I doubt Mojang would ever add it, but if Minecraft wants to return to prominence something big like this is needs to happen.

Now on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/minecraftsuggestions/comments/8eoyzh/update_galactica_outer_space_in_minecraft_long/

Reaching Outer Space

As one might expect, getting to outer space is no easy task. To open a gateway to the realms beyond, the player must first kill the ender dragon and then travel to the far islands.

This ties Outer Space directly to gameplay progression. For a great boss, there isn’t much you get from the dragon fight. There’s no reason to return the end after obtaining an elytra. With the addition outer space, players will find themselves constantly traveling through the end.

In the far end islands is a rare new structure, the Endfrost. Initially when found the Endfrost gateway will be shut down, long since forgotten. It can be powered up with an Endfrost Key, which are found in End City chests (or possibly End Bunkers, an end dungeon from an old suggestion of mine).

The inside of an Endfrost. The beacon would be replaced by a new block, which when left clicked with a key will activate the ancient machine.

When powered up, the Endfrost gateway will start making noises. It will release a sudden beam of light into the empty end sky. If you walk into the beam of light, you will be transported to a faraway world.

Planets

Minecraft’s outer space would be very similar to our own, consisting of countless planets in an infinite void. Because the void of space is so large and empty, adding it into the game feels pointless. Instead the Endforst will directly transport you to a random planet.

There is an infinite number of planets in the Minecraft Galaxy. When the game is created, these planets are not generated. The moment an Endforst is activated, an entire dimension is generated through a complicated random number generator which determine dimension properties. The dimension is then added to an array specific to the savefile.

Every time you enter the Endfrost, you have no idea where you’re going. There is no way to prepare for what you will find. And with an infinite number of worlds to visit you’ll never get bored. It’s like No Man’s Sky- only with Minecraft’s superior gameplay.

Generation:

After all of these factors have been determined, the dimension is finalized, and players can travel there. This process should take less than a half a minute while the Endfrost is “powering up”.

The following are all examples of possible worlds you might travel too. The first four are all common planets. The fifth is an example of custom structures being added to the random planets. The sixth is an “Overworld Planet”, a highly rare combination where the rock is chosen green, the sky blue, and is home to water and trees. Though unlikely, it is possible to find these hidden gems.

Discovery

But these are just 6 of literally infinite planets. Players can travel the galaxy by finding multiple Endfrosts and opening portals, an in each world you can build and explore just like in the Overworld.

When the players first spawns in a dimension there will be no portal. Instead the player will be given another Endfrost Key. When the key is left clicked a 5 second animation will show a beam of light coming down and sucking players back to the End gateway. If the player moves or is damaged during this 5 second period, the return is canceled. The key leaves the inventory after returning to the End.

When the planet is first discovered it is given the name [“Notch-” + dimensionID], a reference to the Kepler naming system. However, when the player who has discovered the planet leaves for the first time, the game will offer them the ability to name the planet. Afterwards the planet is referred to as its new name.

Should a player find a second Endfrost and power it up, they will have the option to link this gateway to an already discovered planet on the galactic map. The galactic map is a server wide map that shows all the planets discovered in the galaxy. The map can be accessed whenever the player desires through options (like the advancements tab). However, you can only travel to planets through the Endfrost. Using a key on an already powered Endfrost will turn off the portal and not destroy the key.

An example of a galactic map with only two planets discovered. The Nether and End do not appear on the galactic map whatsoever.

If cheats are enabled, a player can create a custom dimension through the command “/planet….” with all the parameters listed. People could upload their custom dimension commands online to share, like how people share custom worlds.

Legendary Items:

So, why bother to come to planets? Well, in outer space you can find legendary items. Legendary items are powerful items that only spawn on certain planets. There is only a 10% chance for each legendary to spawn on a planet, and even then they will be hard to find. Each legendary is unique and benefits all sorts of different styles of play.

Expect more in the future...

Many legendary items can be found in planetary dungeons. They may look like your average overworld dungeon, but they are much more rewarding, offering a legendary, a set of enchanted diamond, and golden apples by the dozen. They are guarded by strong hostile (or neutral if there are none) mobs from the planet.

Questions and Answers

What about outer space itself? All this suggestion offers are planets. I’d like to travel to asteroids and other celestial bodies.

While it might sound cool, I doubt these could be incorporated in an engaging way. As I said before the void of space is vast and empty, which would make it boring. Asteroids also don’t seem that interesting besides mining, and suns would just be giant balls of lava.

It also doesn’t fit well with the Endfrost, which just teleports players to the planets. So outer space would never really be added, just an infinite number of random dimensions that are called planets in the “Minecraft Galaxy”.

However, perhaps asteroids and supernovas could pop up randomly on the galactic map, for atheistic purposes only. Comets can jet across the screen.

The Endfrost doesn’t make any sense. Spaceships launched from the Overworld would be a much better way to get to the stars. Speaking of which, you need to wear a spacesuit to survive outer space.

Gameplay > Realism. Spaceships just don’t fit tonally with the fantasy theme of Minecraft. Instead I based the way of traveling the cosmos on Norse Mythology, in which the Bifrost opens gateways to the many realms.

Spacesuits would just be an inconvenience, preventing players from wearing their diamond armor they worked so hard on and messing with the theme. It’s these two features that turn me off from Galacticraft- I like outer space but at the same time don’t want to mess with the core themes of the game.

The progression for outer space shouldn’t be tied to the End. You should be able to have more options in a sandbox game like Minecraft.

While I would agree with you in that we need more options for the player to take, I don’t think outer space should be accessed from the Overworld. First, it would give people a reason for coming back to the End repeatedly. People already spend most of their time in the Overworld.

Second, outer space is such a giant expansion to the game making it obtainable in early or even midgame feels wrong to me. Let the player explore and conquer their own planet before moving onto the cosmos. Outer space could be viewed as a great reward for defeating the dragon, unlocking a new stage in the progression. The End Poem says that the player will in time learn to become something bigger, maybe this is what they were referring too.

And lastly, I like the idea of the End being a hub world. Endermen would spawn on planets as common as they do in the Nether, because they are interstellar travelers too. It adds a lore to the End while still maintaining the mystery. The End’s purple sky suggests that it could be in a void, maybe a black hole separate from spacetime. Or it could be some random planet, or a special planet. Was the End always this way, or did the massive influx from the Endfrosts lead to an apocalypse?

Planets sound boring as of now. There should be more features added to them.
This came up in the comments section. Here’s a couple new reasons for coming to the planets:

• Upon traveling to a new planet, you will receive a significant amount of XP. If you are discovering the planet you will get twice as much XP.
• Aliens now occasionally drop “[name] eggs” which can be left clicked to spawn a new one of that same alien. This means you can bring back aliens to your base!
• In alien dungeons a special book unique to that planet can be found. This book can be traded to librarians for about 10 emeralds.
• Aliens also drop the item that their Overworld counterparts drop, though the quantity depends. Maybe you’ll find a creature that drops 4 bones each, in which case consider setting up a farm.
• Faction Servers would no longer be super griefed. Admins could create new planets for new adventures or just Overworld copies to keep things fresh. Or there could be faction servers where each gets its own planet!
• Mods and addons can create unique resources specific to the planets. I don’t want to add specific resources because I fear then this suggestion would become super long, jump all over the place, and in the end feel like a mod. Planets are more meant to be a blank canvas for you to do anything with. If you find a peaceful planet, consider moving your base there. Or setting up outposts across the galaxy, each for its own distinct purpose.

This sounds like a neat idea, but I doubt it could be pulled off by Mojang. This also isn’t that important compared to a Nether overhaul and others.

I’m not a professional coder (though I have been learning the basics recently) so I’m not sure if it is possible. However, I don’t think it should be too hard. Since Mojang has already created the custom world preset tab, all they need to do is add a few more features and place a RNG to it. The harder part is the custom mobs, but I think if enough people worked on it they could find a way.

As for matter of importance, I agree there are things that must be fixed before this. The ocean was the worst of the bunch, but it’s being fixed now. I’d point to the Nether as the next candidate for a major update. But after those two are out of the way, what does Minecraft do? I seriously believe something giant like this could give the game a renaissance. It would be a massive update on the level of the chunks update, maybe even deserving a change from 1.0 to 2.0.

I’d also like to say, as a closing statement, that right now the game just stops after defeating the Ender Dragon. Most players had spent their time in the game so far working towards taking down the dragon. But afterwards the game loses all sense of progression. Outer Space would provide a solution to this, as the next logical step in progression is other planets. The game would still become open-ended, but now have a proper conclusion

To infinity and beyond!

I am in agreement with you. Forced night vision would ruin the aesthetics. Perhaps that feature should have a toggle option, similar to the beacon configuration menu.

We're finally here guys!

I am now at a stage where I'm happy to release v1.0 of my continuation of Advent of Ascension!

For the time being I will continue to use this forum thread, but I may move to a new forum thread in the future.

I will be continuing to update and improve this mod, this isn't the end!

Let's have some fun!

so just like every year, i get on to post about how many years i've been around, and this is no different. This time I happen to be early, but I'm too lazy to wait a month since I'm afraid I'll forget. I've been getting back into minecraft a bit more in the past year, and at this time i play it about as much as I did when I joined the forums in 2013 (aka - a lot). Although I often play older versions over newer ones, I don't mind the road minecraft is going down as of right now. All in all, Happy (early) birthday to me. 5 years on forum, 7 on game. Here's to another 5 years.

Something that would make this a better option would be to allow ones 'thanks given' (up-votes) to be a searchable set in advanced search... or at least able to be displayed in date order given (they appear to display in date order of last thread activity, at present).

Adding a comment can make it far easier to find a thread again as one is likely to remember one's own phrasing, and searching posts can be limited by author. Of course, using this technique successfully requires some on-topic text; 'comments' like "+1", " ", etc won't work.

[That form of 'comment' ought IMO to be banned as a public service.]

I also agree with C1ff about the lack of utility of "I like/don't like this" comments: "Cool choice of color palette", Or "Too expensive in comparators" takes trivially longer to type, but actually provides a meaningful opinion.

Once in a while, someone new to the forum makes a post in the Suggestions forum that looks something like this:

I'm building a big castle with a dragon. The castle is called Blahblah and is populated by elves, what should I call the dragon? Should I use more sandstone in my castle? Which of these banners do you like?

I think a lot of new people mistake "Suggestions" for "Getting Tips for your builds and play experience" rather than "Making Suggestions for new Minecraft Features". Somehow they don't read the sentence underneath the name that would avoid embarrassment and a Moderator having to move their post.

This could be avoided simply by adding "Feature" to the front. "Feature Suggestions" sounds much more like what the forum is, and much less like a place for beginners to get tips. (Which belongs in the Discussion forum.)

The irony here: This post hasn't has a single reply, but 3 upvotes.

I actually do have something to add. In addition to not posting comments like "i like this", you shouldn't post comments like "i don't like this" without having anything to add, either. There's no downvote button, sure, but if you're just posting "i don't like this" without giving some discussion material (y'know, the point of a text-based forum?) then you're just giving attention to a post you think is bad.
