Logically it should be in Australia because

A. In a world map Minecon has been to about two thirds of the world and Australia would be the last third

B. If they do Australia, Asian countrys and Australia can easily see it.

C. If they do Minecon in lets say, Canada, most Australians and Asian people won't be able to see it because it's on the other side of the world AGAIN

D. Density wise, yes the Americas have the most people. BUT Minecon only has a certain amount of people there, no matter what country you do it on (Unless you do it in Antarctia :D) it will always be a sell out.

E. I really, REALLY want to go! Why does all the interesting stuff happen on the other side of the world?!

The Path Of Ocell The Ocelot And Timidness Faith:
After Terrae had created the jungle, Terrae realised she needed someone strong and brave to defend it. So she went to cut off her little pinky, but before she cut it off she accidently shied away from doing that, she didn't know why but the next time she tried to cut it off she didn't shy away "How strange indeed!" She exclaimed but shrugged her shoulders and cut it off. To her amazement what formed out of her little pinky was a small, timid little girl. This was NOT what she wanted, she was so enraged she banished the small minor god-girl to an animal form! After what Terrae did she felt so sorry so she gave it the ability to learn how to trust, and love the steves that populate the world. But Terrae didn't want Ocell to be just a different looking dumb wolf so she gave Ocell the free will to defie Steves every once a while by choosing when to sit and what they sit on. Terrae was happy with her creation, but Roki wasn't. You see Roki loved wolves! His bedrock heart was melted by the sight of them! So he cursed Ocell to be timid and fear the touch of Steve and fear the dark deep below the earth......

We set off and many days of hard walking till we found the right spot



It was perfect!

We all decided to set up a guard house first incase any suprise attacks, it took us a day and a half to finish it but we did



It was cold and hard sleeping outside so we set up a inn to sleep in

Everything updated for 1.6.2. The mods directory will now be located in the same directory as minecraft jar, unless the default game directory is changed, where it will act like it had on older versions.

Read this entire post. All of it. Downloading the mods means you agree to the disclaimer. You can skip the FAQ, but if you have an issue, consult it first, before consulting us. If you have an issue answered in the FAQ or this post itself, we won't help you. At all. We reserve the right to ignore dumbasses who do not pay attention to the big bold text. Completely and utterly, ignore them. To all of you who are good boys and girls, I suggest you ignore them too, should they post.

Modding now has its own IRC channel on esper.net, #risucraft.

Disclaimer: These mods require altering minecraft.jar, and SMP may not work with these mods installed. Some of these mods add new content, do not load worlds with this new content if the respective mod is not installed. I am not responsible for any damage done to your computer, worlds, or your copy of Minecraft. That said, backup your worlds and bin folder!

ModLoader 1.6.2
A mod, kind of like a mod manager, that stops conflicts with mods that alter rendering, recipes, add entities, gui, smeltables or fuel. If you're a modder, feel free to decompile this and learn how to make mods work with it. Inherit BaseMod and override any methods as necessary. The mod's main class file should be prefixed with 'mod_'. Read the Javadoc for information on methods available.

Elemental Arrows 1.6.2
The Elemental Arrows mod adds four new types of arrows; explosive arrows, fire arrows, ice arrows, and a joke weapon, egg arrows.. They are crafted the same way as normal arrows, but the head is replaced based on the element; gunpowder for explosive, coal for fire, snowball for ice, and egg for, well, egg. Crafting an explosive arrow only gives you one arrow, and it explodes upon impact. Crafting a fire arrow gives you one arrow, that will ignite stuff upon impact. Crafting an ice arrow gives you one arrow, that will freeze water into ice, lava springs into obsidian, put out fire, and break torches. Egg arrows spawn chickens upon impact with the ground, but there's a secret too. Lightning arrows strike lightning where ever they hit, use diamond in recipe. Homing bow recipe is same layout as regular bow, but diamond instead of sticks. Requires ModLoader 1.6.2.

AudioMod 1.6.2(Not updated for now)
AudioMod is an upgrade of sorts, and a modder's utility. Included in this mod is CodecIBXM, created by Paul at www.paulscode.com, who is the creator of the sound system used in Minecraft. It allows Minecraft to play (in addition to ogg, wav, and mus files), xm, s3m, and mod files. The only readily available feature of this mod is the ability to add new music, however, it adds support for modders to add new records and sound effects. There is a slight increase in load time when using this mod. Using this, you can also use custom sounds, alongside the originals. Custom music and sound goes into the resources folder, music in mod/music. Custom sounds go into mod/sound. For example, if I were to add a new footstep sound effect to stone, I'd put the new stone1.ogg in mod/sound/step. In game, the new sound would occasionally be played, alongside the originals. Custom sounds for things like the menu click and water do not always work, at the moment.

More mods to come!

awesome map man! very trolly though at the end

Quote from Swiftlet

I honestly feel like the game is getting worse with each update. I started playing in beta 1.5, and up until beta 1.8 it was constantly getting better. After 1.8, though, it stopped being quite as fun. Worlds were a lot more repetitive, and the only things really getting added and updated were a few extra biomes and the so-called "Roleplaying" additions like potions, enchanting, and anvils. Oh and then there was the mob AI updates (which weren't all that bad, but they weren't great). On top of that, lag has increased immensely and terrain still sucks, and yet everyone is distracted by the new stuff. I can list at least three mods that have been or are going to be incorporated into the game that completely change the overall theme of the game. If I wanted to add stuff like horses, name tags, and all this new redstone stuff, I would add it myself. As it is, though, I don't want playing vanilla to feel like playing with mods. The only thing that I feel the game needs at this point is a satisfactory terrain generator. The current one give the worlds no real identifying features, except in extreme hills biomes, where there are so many odd landforms that it loses all value. so instead of fixing things like lighting and making the terrain actually matter, we get cosmetic stuff, sloppy beaches, and stuff that, honestly, doesn't really belong in vanilla. TL;DR: Minecraft is seriously going in the wrong direction. Not all of us are quite satisfied with shiny new features every few weeks. Sorry for ranting a bit.

Potions, Enchanting, and Anvils are not "Roleplaying", as you put it, features. They are simply there to give the game more substance and to give the players more to make and do. I don't know about you, but I don't have any lag with recent updates, maybe it is your computer but mine is just fine. And what is wrong with adding in mods that people request be added? Also, just because you can add it in with a mod is NOT a valid reason to deny a feature, regardless of what your opinion is. There might be some people who can't or prefer not to play with mods, and so you just cost them a feature because you "can put it in yourself". So no, if you are going to dislike new updates, at least have a viable reason with some kind of substance behind it.

nametags seemed like a good idea to me.
horses are awesome too. not a fan of the skeleton and zombie changes though.
i do agree that they haven't done enough with terrain and land generation enough though. i'd like them to focus on that kind of stuff again.
maybe add more biomes and more unique land generation. i swear every forest looks the exact same as the next. and improve the actual mechanics of the game more than just adding in new crap. for the longest time i was wishing they would add new animations or something. they should fix those lighting bugs they had started working on, fix some of the many glitches, etc.
in other words, they aren't going in a BAD direction... but not sure if its the best direction.. directions are subjective anyway. there is no right or wrong way.

I'd like to offer a dissenting opinion about the biome transitions that are being worked on for BWG4.

With all the great work being done here, I honestly feel like a jerk saying anything negative... but I strongly dislike the 'speckled' approach to biome transitions as seen below:



I understand the intent, but in Minecraft's blocky world, this looks unnatural and not aesthetically pleasing to my eyes.

Looking at terrain generated in both Vanilla and in BWG, I find that the most natural looking transitions between grass and sand usually occur on beaches, when the transition follows the natural contour of the landscape.

BAD BEACH:


GOOD BEACH:


The transition between biomes doesn't (and probably shouldn't) always follow the contour of the terrain, but I think the key difference between the bad beach and the good beach is that on the good beach, the sand does not meet the grass at the same level of height.

So I tried an experiment....

Here is a typical ugly transition between biomes:


And here is the same transition, with the top layer of sand removed along the border:


That looks much more natural to me.

Here's another example, on more complex terrain...

And with a layer of sand taken off:


The sand could be higher than the grass in some instances, I don't think that's a problem. The important thing would be keeping sand and grass from meeting at the same height.

It's a simple and more subtle alternative. I don't really expect to change anyone's mind here. I just wanted to present my case with some 'evidence' and see if anyone agrees with me.

In any case, keep up the great work!

I don't have any mods...
