I was baffled when the creators provided nothing you can obtain from visiting the End after defeating the dragon, no end-game items, no god weapons. Then I thought of ender water.

These patches of water will spawn in the End, and they are completely black, no reflection, a black void, of sorts, but still a liquid.

In the end, this liquid will have no effects on the player or things around it, it is simply there, black patches along the white Ender landscape.

This lack of specialness will fool the unadventurous one, as he will merely look and carry on.
But the curious explorer will find ways to obtain this black, gelatinous substance, and bring it back to his homeworld.

He will soon figure out he needs a simple iron bucket to harvest the Ender Water (though it's not water at all, but a bizarre squishy substance, but it is dubbed this since it spawns so like water on the overworld.)

Once harvested, he defeats the ender dragon and returns to the overworld.

He then makes a cauldron and places the ender water into it.

He notices stranges glowing particles encircling the once-unimportant cauldron.

NOW HERE ARE SOME EFFECTS THE ENDER WATER CAN OFFER IN THE OVERWORLD:
-Maybe, when you throw them in, the cauldron will repair any tool, armor or weapon, at the cost of a view XP points.
-Perhaps, when bathing in it, the liquid will have a regeneration effect on the human.
-Maybe you can throw invaluable items in the cauldron, thus creating valuable items like diamonds and emeralds OR when you throw end-stone in it it creates valuable items or you throw invaluable items in it and create endstone.
-Maybe you can throw crafting materials in it (for example, three iron ingots and two sticks), thus creating the wanted result (in that case, an iron pickaxe, or an iron axe, I don't know yet how the cauldron will decide this)
-Perhaps it will be Tier 2, above water, in brewing, you can fill bottle with Ender Water, and all potions will have a boost.
All of the above? A combination of some above?

I thought this idea up simply because I want the old brewing back, when you threw items in and the water turned into a potion. I wanted to feel more like a wizard or alchemist, that's all.
Any suggestions on my suggestion will be read.

I only believe ambience will add atmosphere to the game. The game itself is already beautiful, and it doesn't need fanciful buttlerflies and birds flying about to make it look beautiful.
Simple birds tweeting and leaves rustling will add the so desperately needed atmostphere. Also, I think birds should be added, to fill in those disembodied bird tweets.

Enderbeast - Completely pointless, drops nothing new, bland design, no real purpose but to... look scary? I don't know where you were going with that one.

Frost - Yes, indeed, a nice idea. Yet there is one problem, where would this particular mob spawn? Taigas and snow biomes? No, no, no. Unless there is a new ice dimension, this wouldn't fit as a cousin of the Blaze, it's counterpart, I should say. But if it isn't the counterpart, this wouldn't quite fit in the world of Minecraft, with all the normal animals and the such (aside from the occasional monsters), and I feel this wouldn't fit in with the cliche and dark monsters of vanilla minecraft like zombies and skeletons. Adding a frost dimension may solve this problem perhaps. But I mainly like this beast because of the new drops.

Pigman - Yes, there should definately be pigmen spawning across Minecraftia, but my question is, other than adding a little human atmostphere to the land, what would be the major purpose? The villagers are the ones that trade with you, would pigmen be lone merchants? And why do they drop cooked porkchops? Are there insides pre-cooked?

Queen Spider - Though cliche, I believe this mob should be added, yes. And with the egg drop, I believe it should drop a tamed spider egg, unlike normal eggs, are completely round and gellatinous, and place a physical entity, in which it will eventually hatch, and you can place those useless saddle you find in dungeons on it and ride it up cliffs and the such.

Pirahna - Mm, yes, the jungle does need a hostile mob, I agree. But dropping raw fish is a drag, perhaps it should drop pirahna teeth, again, like frost rods, used in brewing.

Scarecrow - Flashy version of torches?

Great mod. Nice potential. By that I mean it needs more items!
Maybe silken covers to cover your walls with, or crowns made with gold and diamond that you can wear, with fur coats, with the dotted white collars and everything, something that makes you feel like a king.
Rename it King Mod (sorry, going too far.)
Anyway, keep updatin' this mod, man!

The new addition of iron golems makes you think what is controlling them. Well, I had an idea that when you kill an iron golem, a testificate spawns and runs away because the he was conterolling it, like a mech. It's a silly idea but I couldn't just keep it inside my head, I just HAD to share it.

Hey toad, maybe you should download More World Types for 1.1 and make the world a cave world, and name the warp Bonanza Zone (bonanza meaning a rich cluster of ore in a mine.) It should be for donators, so when they loe their donation items they don't ask for it again, and they just go to the bonanza world to make their own.

Standard armor is boring and bland when seen with the naked eye (in the default texture pack)
I want something, like an addon, to put on over my armor to make me seem more manly and stylish.
I say we can have the option to murder and skin various mobs to acquire collectible mob pelts (and they have some perks too.)

Say you're in a winter biome, freshly spawned. You built an igloo out of snow blocks and your leather armor is keeping you fairly warm. The problem is that it's not warm ENOUGH. So what you do is go out, find a wolf, and kill it with some shears. Upon killing it drops a crisp and warm pelt you can put in your chestplate slot (together with your chestplate, not taking away any armor.) It covers your chest and your head, replacing parts of them. The wolf's face is placed promptly upon your head like a hood, making you look baron and burly.
So:
WOLF PELT: Makes you look cooool.
CREEPER PELT: Reduces explosion damage and allows you to get closer to creepers than you previously could (if you wear certain pelts of various aggro mobs, you will be able to get closer to them than you previously could.)
SPIDER PELT: When worn the head of the spider goes over your face, which means the eyes go over your eyes, which allows you to see better in the night and in the dark.
CAVE SPIDER PELT: More resistance to a bite from them, reduces your health less than what it does (depending on game mode)
ENDERMAN PELT:
TO BE CONTINUED

Best of luck to you nerdyz

And also please update the main post PLEASE. With all the plugins and list of drugs

Can you install mumble?

Don't call me weak because the admin of the Assassin's Creep server is a ****ing 12 year old ***** who gave up on the server.

I downloaded a texturepack, and it works with mh browser version fine. Anyway, taht aside, how do I get my original minecraft back now?

What do you mean? Your save files you mean?

The %appdata% doesn't connect with the browser. It only works if you downloaded the game.
In my defense, browser is pretty much useless. When you download Minecraft you don't need internet connection to play and you can still play your mods, texture packs, and etc. like the Weekly .jars that Jeb gives out weekly.

I believe there actually is a mod for this. I saw it once.

this is not obvilion

What's your point? Oblivion isn't the only game that has this feature. Games borrow from other games all the time. That's like saying BF3 isn't Call of Duty even though they both have guns. Poor logic.

I don't get it, It seems like there are two opposing sides when it comes to Notch and his coding abilities. One side has a real hero-worship thing going on, and the other (and in my experience more vocal) side is constantly throwing ad hominems about his lack of Java prowess and his body mass index.

Notch seems like a nice guy from what I've heard. He wants to put minecraft out in the public domain when sales drop and he wants to move on to other things, and that's pretty cool, but that doesn't make him some video game developer version of Chuck Norris or anything. He's made mistakes. I think putting in items for which he hasn't discerned a purpose is a bad idea, but I'm not a programmer, so perhaps game development works this way.

Regarding the Notch haters, I wish people would put things in perspective. How much did you pay for this game? $20? Half that if you bought it during Alpha? (I've only been playing since mid-August, so I got it for a cool $20). This isn't a $60 game from a storied franchise, developed by legions of specialized developers and published by Sony or Nintendo. It's an indie game developed by 2 people. There are far fewer minds working on the game itself, far fewer man hours are put into it, and far less money. This means It's going to lack a lot of the cohesiveness and polish of a AAA title. That's just a fact, so expect bugs; expect some broken stuff, and expect some poor decisions. (yeah, that's right, I used a semicolon!) Having said that, Mojang has a lot more creative freedom than a developer working under one of the huge publishers. They can create a game that they want, take risks, and add crazy non sequiturs like snow golems. They don't have a marketing or finance team breathing down their necks expecting them to poop out another brown first person shooter because it's a safe investment.

I'm particularly bothered by all the weight related jabs directed at Notch. Seriously, what's up with that?


Just to make the title of this thread relevant, one of the sources Tolkien used for the concept of the One Ring was a parable of sorts from an ancient Greek philosopher (don't remember the name) There's a magic ring in a cave that can turn you invisible. Being invisible, you can do whatever you want free of consequences. You're completely anonymous. The gist is that most people who would take the ring would start doing bad things because they knew they wouldn't get in trouble. The internet is a lot like that ring. One finds oneself doing and saying things they would never do in real life because they're anonymous.

I try to curb the temptation by reminding myself that there are other human beings on the other side of that screen reading my posts, and I try to interact with them as I would in real life (well as far as I can in the medium of text). The other thing to keep in mind, less to do with this forum, but the internet is forever, and while I'm not sure, I suppose its possible to at least identify an ip address of a user if one is determined enough... but I digress.

Bottom line: keep things in perspective, stop the hero worship, and stop the hating.

My spidy sense tells me that the first comment will be, "too long, did not read."
