Mainly just browsing the beta forums, it looks more cleanly done. I am one to actually not mind the white of it all, and the general look. There are quite a few things that I am not fond of...
1. Like someone else mentioned, the forum icons. The reason i am not too fond is now they are all the same shape and tend to make at least to me pretty bland. I like the way it is done on this one where at least the icons have a different shape to them. Makes easier to recognize at a glance when they are not all cubes. I know there are pictures on them representing what they are, but that is not something noticed really at a glance right off. Sure probably could get use to them, as I adapt pretty well to things.
2. I agree with the others that have said it, that the upvote/thanks bit does to be a bit more noticeable/prominent, as right now it sort blends in... Too me a few glances to see where it relocated, although that is a good spot; it just blends in a bit, and being as small as it is makes it blend even more.
3.unsure what to make of the title bar, as it seems almost out of place. It isn't the colors for me, it is something I can't quite put my finger on... Maybe it is for the fact it looks like it belongs on a smart phone...O_o Not sure...
4. The layout is nice, and the collapse is good feature. However when all things collapsed or just having one/few section(s) open; makes it slightly look like a list of titles instead of actually different parts of the form. In a way no way beyond the triangle arrow and list style size being bigger font, there is to tell that they are separate sections, unless you actually knew the site before hand like myself. Might be just a nitpick on my end, but it is how I see it.
5. Also like some of the others the thread/reply count being like it was excel style doesn't help. Think it is better the way it is here, where it says what the number represents right after the number. After all those columns can get pretty long. This one might go with #1 in a way as being able to tell certain things at a glance is sometimes best. Not all things but at least this one along with the icons.
Other than that which has been already mentioned, I don't see very many problems. It definitely loads faster, and that much I do like a whole lot. Plus, no flicker like this site; that is a plus.

Sep 15, 2013Tamorr posted a message on Minecraft News - Huge Portals, Huge SnapshotsProbably xbox one, but it will be way later than the initial release. ><Posted in: News
The new snapshots I am definitely enjoying to an extent...:D Large portals are something actually nice to see... -
Sep 5, 2013Tamorr posted a message on 13w36a Snapshot Ready for Testing!I know someone mentioned the M being appended to a biome type being most likely mountains, but the only one I've seen so far with an M is Jungle M; And that in both areas of that jungle is a large pool of water...><Posted in: News
I thought was Marine or Marina due to that fact. The jungle was not taller than the rest in that are since the pool of water was actually lower. Just wondering bout' that...
So far I have seen all but the either types of mesa, mega taiga, and all snow variants..(I have seen the snow capped extreme hills as that seems to be everywhere in the worlds I have loaded...
haven't really noticed anything else someone hasn't mentioned....
Overall I have to say it is a great improvement in fps and overall look.:D -
Jul 9, 2013Tamorr posted a message on Mojang to Cease and Desist...Putt Putt?Posted in: NewsQuote from sthreet
Actually I found out about this recently and assumed it was really recent. My bad to whoever replied to me earlier when I asked why they are getting sued so much...
But still, I don't know anyone who calls any of the morrowind series of games "the elder scrolls" except maybe rarely.
I know plenty of people whom call "elder scrolls" with or without the The part... me included...Of course I wouldn't call it the scrolls series as that would be silly... Since that is too broad of a term... The only reason I do call it by that name is due to the fact that I actually own the second game in the series daggerfall. Not that it would really run on a NTFS system...><
Anyway... *shakes head* this just seems like jumping the gun before they even shoot the bullet out. O_o
Hence shooting themselves in the foot or worse... Didn't really know putt putt was still around... hmm...more or less a copywrite... I just have to laugh at this due to lack of research.... -

you can only search for something you know exists,i didnt know it existed and never would have seen it if it hadnt been here.
What I was meaning the search for feature is for all those redundant threads... like 50+ ones about 1.6.... That may be an exaggeration but it is a valid example. Of course you wouldn't have found cube world without knowing about it, thought I mentioned that...><
That is why I was saying it is nice they posted where they did even if it should be in another section.:D -
Jul 8, 2013Tamorr posted a message on Cube World Wiki is LiveI for one don't mind it being posted after seeing it prior on a youtube channel... Ethos... Regardless of this being in the wrong section, it is not like it is being posting in several threads. Not much of a bother as many of the other redundant ones that you could use the search function for...><Posted in: News
What I did see of the game is a real treat. I would buy if had the money, but in the very least register so I could be prepared for when affordable... I mean when I have enough that is...><
It is nice seeing another in the voxel genre no matter how different it is. That is what a genre is suppose to be... At least that is what I thought. I think this would be better in the discussion section though, not that it really matters to me, since I enjoy seeing it here.:D -
Jun 20, 2013Tamorr posted a message on Curse Presents: "Can You Minecraft IRL?"I can see how they relate...After all I like building; block by block, with each piece that I accumulate over the course of time. gathering resources in the instance of lego is going to the store and buying more parts, where as in minecraft you gather by mining, chopping, shoveling, smelting, and crafting materials....Posted in: News
There are similarities even if they are quite different and many aspects. That was an entertaining video.:D -

Cows eating buckets? It's not April 1st...
Didn't know cows ate metal.
Good to see them focusing on bug fixes, otherwise they're just chasing their tail every time they add features.
nah I guess those cows wanted more iron in their diet...lol
Interesting additions, even if they really don't pertain to me much. If that is a prelude to a new gamemode that would be decent. I don't really use golden apples, however the potions I might. I'm 50-50 on that part. Unsure what to think, but at least it let's us know something is getting done and things are being added, even if few or minor. That is so far quite a bit for the full 1.6, if you add up everything. So keep them rolling...
Interested in seeing what else they add... or change... or fix... -

Well that looks promising to me. Still even 10-20 ravines would be a bit much for me... I have enough trouble with the vertical mineshafts that sometimes spawn. Still though as i have said just would be nice to select what goes into generation to some degree, especially villages hearing as they seem to be rare...O_o or well just long to find on the pc sometimes. I am hoping though that things will be simple to find, but not so frustrating to run across...

after my failed attempt at reclaiming my stuff i ditched that world. Now i kinda miss it since it had quite a few features i liked. Oh well what can you do but rebuild once again...lol

All i can say is 50-50 it seems about the FB capture thing people just don't like it. When and if they get another way to capture then maybe. Also to capture the map pic the capture doesn't work for that. You would need a phone that has that, and well... I guess i live in the dark ages on that one apparently since i don't own a cell with that function.
I am guessing also some just don't like to go through the hassle of doing a map pic as that I would even see a long process trial and error to get it correct and good lighting n all. Although I wouldn't mind maps for being with a description, I do like those that at least have plenty of things to say about it beyond that clay or this or that are on it. For me all i ever look for in a workable map is having a bit of everything and still be plenty green...:D

Other than that i usually build with the terrain, as in what ever feels right in that/those specific spot(s). When it is my own house i usually find a hole somewhere and tend to build dirt around the edge and make a doorway complete with wooden door, and upgrade it later when i can. Going with the moment as each I enter.

However since i never really did that from the beginning, at least not at the moment on my longest standing map i've been working on, I guess building the minecart system itself just adds flare or practicality to the empty village i have made. I mean the need transportation too. More thinking in the RPG element to some degree.
It is only recently i started actually implementing a cart system though, so working with all the switches and redstone that i need is in itself just entertaining, especially when i get the rail system working the way i intend it to work...

I just love creating random maps just to explore and venture the surface seeing the sights, or even sight seeing the sights...:D

well the closest seed that i found off the minecraft seed site that has quite a bit of water is
d74g0n
it has pretty much has all the resources as well including plenty clay. most of the water covers the center and North eastern parts of the map, as the western part is mostly snow and ice with some rolling hills.... monstrous mountain to the south but not really shear cliffside though. Also this seed is a 1.8 seed, I just went and checked out to see what it would look like in this version and well.. that is what i saw mainly.

--Use Water/Lava Wisely.
--Always be aware of your environment, even in peaceful (as you never know when a cow decides to push you over that cliff)
--Use Crouch along edges when building or tight spaces with lots of huge drops.
