90% sure it's been suggested, but it would still be a good addition, it would be good if it showed where the map is like a "you are here" on those roadside maps
oh, looked about but must have missed the other threads.
I did notice much talk about 3rd party mappers and hand help map improvements but not using any as picture-frames.
a representation of dots for other players (multiplayer) would be sufficient?
It would be useful to track people and see what new has been built since you left.
perhaps even show up neutral mobs? like sheep or pigs?
I personally have several maps, used in my adventures excavations and general lolling about.
but many of them are stored away and are rarely looked at or appreciated!
so here is my IDEA:
taking a map of your region and framing it!
the map can then be viewed & adds a lovely aesthetic to your home/fortress/castle/dungon/hole/pile of dirt
here is a quick shoop of it in my SMP:
obviously the map will become "static" and while retaining all map info will loose the player icon on it.
I thought of this idea while playing multi-player as a cool "visitors" board for new players to the server
I also know of 3rd party web browser based maps but see an in-game one as a quaint addition!
what do you guys think?

What is the edge of a triangle? You guessed it, a line! And on the screen, haven't you seen edges of blocks that dont run straight up/down or left/right? Take a look at what you are really saying. I agree completely with the DX 11 (Java doesnt support it anyways), and hydrowhatever physics, and whatnot, but all AA does is reduce graphics artifacts. It'll still be the same old low res outdated minecraft graphics, just with much less graphical artifacts.
good idea i would love this. In SMP it would be useful for avoidind griefers because they wouldn't know where you are.
BTW digital that looks awesome my mind nearly exploded because of the zillion uses i thought of.

A little trap i made for lolz on the old server map:
For all those "AV specialists" who are ranting about how antialiasing only works on curves:
EDIT: Please resize to 100%, the lines got blurred for me
And for those who say it will take forever to implement, it is as simple as adding a few lines of code to tell the graphics card to turn on antialiasing, and adding a menu button SO YOU CAN TURN IT OFF IF YOU DONT LIKE IT OR YOU HAVE CRAPPY INTERGRATED GRAPHICS.
Also, I like what that other person said about a custom shader to antialias the edges of textels, heck, notch should just add custom shader support into minecraft. For now, I don't think MSAA (only does the edges of polygons) will help very much, notch should just add full scene antialiasing to get everything covered. It would only be for those with good gfx cards though.
EDIT: 42nd post! w00t!
! AGAIN ! default a block has 2 polygons.. 2!(per a side) YOUR DEMONSTRRATION of an edge shows hundreds of polygon edging... anti-aliasing is "polygon smoothing" you cannot "smooth" 2 damn polygons! this will only work on higher set or "hd" modded where you force moar! i.e. at 64x64 (thats what it is refering to)
fyi: all java rendering is done client side, so does not create lag for other players
and a BETTER method of edge smoothing is vortex or sub-pixles or to use a lighting effect overlay.
... ALSO aliasing only works when you come across a non x,y,z @ 90 deg angle... THIS DOES NOT EXIST IN A WORLD MADE OUT OF 90 DEG CUBES! (like your slanted line in diag.)
My last thought is this...
Minecraft is about imagination, ingenuity and comunity...
if you want DX11, hydrodynamic physics, 12x anti-aliasing and some real-time vector path physics AI...
YOUR PLAYING THE WRONG GAME
(caps lock... the cruise control of the internet)
p.s. (read with a hipster voice) OMG, gyz! my GPUZ totally Benchied @! leik 300fps le meinkart! totally worth the $6000 to play meinkart on
...
ok wait, what if you could assign a item to a draw? ... then by moving the raw to another sopt you can sucsesfully "carry" loot and be uber organsied?
But now that they drop feathers while chickens exist, logic might say the feathers came from consumed chickens, but in the end they are what they are cuz Notch said so.
It doesn't matter about the dimensions, anti-aliasing is all about smoothing out the edges.
anti-ailiasing... smoothing hmm
minecraft has polygons... 2 per a block side (default) smoothing is not possible here
however you may be referring to "bloom" effect
fyi: polygons being triangular, two triangles make a ... im not going to even bother to finish this sentence.
So I guess I missed the patch that made glowstone blocks the only permanent light sources?
hahaaha so did i it seems, my netherack, and torches and lanterns(pumpkins) dont seem to fade??? -.-
as for your ghast problem.... ever tried using a fishing rod?
as for it being to hard... because getting diamonds mining obsidian, setting up portals is sooo easy compared right?
minecraft is: 40% mine 50% craft and 10% effort (ITS IN THE NAME)
Yeah you need to have the whole ramp be power rails to get it up a hill in a timely manner. It's just how it goes now. Glitch boosters where a lil OP those things could launch you right up a hill.
I think peoples gripes about power rails is that they are not as good as the glitch boosters.
Power rails are great but they have been set to a more reasonable speed.
the reasonable speed you refer to is also a CONSTANT speed, tweaked for multi-player so other players don't see a kart fly by, and 3 seconds later captain lag-pants flying along on his imaginary kart after it!
CANT NOTCH: simply set the boost capacity of powered rail on a slope to be greater than one lying flat? solving the problem?

shouldn't be to hard to convert a map into a static image for a picture frame...
any modders opinion would be great =)

"This is the troll police! Your under arrest!"
.. on another note; trolls don't feed them, don't acknowledge them, don't LINK to them, just pretend they don't exit.
this has been a public service announcement!
this below is a police troll line do not post below it!

damn hoes never behave... i have a little crop:
hoes should react to other plants in the game... like harvest apples off of trees or something that ties in with the new mushroom farming...
