I got bored a while ago and came up with a little mini-game type thing to play in Minecraft based on exploration and travelling. This may have been done before, I'm not sure, but I have never seen this before.
I call it Nomad.
The rules:
- By day you must travel
- Every night, you must make a new shelter. Whethere you spend the night there or not is up to you, but if you use a bed you must leave it there. It must be a fully enclosed shelter, but must be accessible without breaking blocks (i.e. no digging a hole in the ground and sealing it), and it must have a roof and floor, no being lazy!
- By night, you may not travel by boat simply to avoid all the mobs. That's cheating >:sad.gif:
- You may not change difficulty throughout the course of your three days and nights.
I think that's all the rules, I may have forgotten something.
Scoring:
Your score is simply the size of your save file after your third night (end of third night, start of fourth morning). If you die, your score must be taken from that point in time, respawning and travelling more is not allowed.
High scores list!
This list depends on honesty. I can't stop you guys from lying, but getting a high score in this won't get you anywhere in life so if you lie about this, you're a bit silly. Screenshots/stories help, but even then I've gotta just take your word for it.
Try something different this time when you're making your house - maybe building into the side of a mountain. I started with a small hole and a door. Now it has waterfalls in front of glass windows, and a glass dome and grassy balcony facing the setting sun and overlooking a natural lavafall.
If you feel sick of the world then maybe backup the save and set up a private server to play with a few felp you with friends - I find minecraft is 1000 times more fun if you have a buddy there to help you spelunk, dig mineshafts or start your latest project.
Good luck!
I would very much like to play a game with just one other friend, preferably one I personally know, but I've had trouble started a server. Yes, I've read FAQs, ports are forwarded and all that stuff, but it doesn't seem to want to work.

i have been thinking about the same thing! but i managed to avoid that from happening. and i stayed with my main world until now! :smile.gif:
after i did everything i could at my base home, i decided to travel a little bit and started a new base. im almost done with my second base and i've started collecting materials to make road system to connect the two bases. after the two systems connected, i'll travel to another place and start my 3rd base. rinse and repeat.
but, for every base, i change the theme. my first base was mining theme. all the buildings were made with stones, cobblestones, inside caves, railway systems going down the bedrock.the main thing in this theme was mining.
while my second base now is a cabin themed structures. i build the village entirely out of woods, planks, trees. the main thing in this theme is fishing and farming.
my third base im planning to build desert base. etc etc.. USE YOUR IMAGINATION! :smile.gif:
Hmm... I have always wanted to build a decent underwater base :wink.gif:
*Opens up Minecraft and begins a new world.* Wish me luck guys :tongue.gif: I'll keep all your tips in mind and hopefully this time I don't delete :biggrin.gif:
I've just done it again. Gone and deleted a save with hours of work on it because I was bored. Is there anyone else out here who does this, and are there any ways that I could keep myself inspired to just stay on the one world and keep building? Because I keep doing this, I've never really finished and big projects that I started.
Either it's raining everywhere, or it's raining nowhere.
This is not the case. Different biomes and perhaps other factors influence rain. My home base is right where a mountainous forested area turns into flatter sandy hills. I regularly get rain that I can walk into and out of.
Yeah, but whether it's raining or not isn't per biome. It's just the deserts can't get rain at all. Everywhere that can rain will be raining, and snow will be happening at the same time in snowy places to.
Notch needs to add some fancy method of being able to build with and create ice. I see so many people making ice sculptures with hax and stuff, but I don't like playing non-legit.
While we're at it, grass/water in Nether, anyone? :tongue.gif:
Phade, you used a million redstone torches to light up the map. Either you have a mental problem, a HUGE lack of coal, or you got bored.
Actually those are just normal torches. Redstone torches would look like this:
Mental problem, huge lack of coal, bored... or an editing program.
EDIT: Also, aren't redstone torches just bright enough to keep mobs from spawning on the square they're on? So in theory, that redstone lit patch should be safe...

I'm not a huge fan of texture packs :/ I don't know why. I suppose I just like the look of vanilla Minecraft.
