The pirates deserve worse, I mean they basically stole the game right from the devs. If someone shoplifted an Xbox disc containing Minecraft Console Edition they would probably be prosecuted for it, the only reason it's not the same for PC is because it's handled via the internet which makes it hard to track down the thieves. I'm sure if Mojang knew exactly who created all the current cracked launchers, those people would have Microsoft lawyers on their backs before this time next week. If it were possible to detect cracked users client side then IMO not only should their language be forced to pirate speak, but they should get a debuff called "Scurvy" that acts like a combo of Nausea(but even worse), high leveled Weakness, high leveled Mining Fatigue, and high leveled Slowness. Thus rendering the game nigh unplayable.

I think it's good there're doing this. It will make people happy that Minecraft is moving along quickly now(except for mod people). I personally think this is 10x better than an update that's 6x bigger and takes 11x the time.

What about searge's itzlipofutzli puzzle!?!? It's still only up to "In 1.10 I'll add". If it never gets solved I guess that means searge won't add it?

Heh heh... my bad...

I'm not sure anyone else has discovered this yet. But apparently sky color is now determined by the biome you're in. So far I've only found that deserts have a slightly brighter sky color. You can really notice the difference when you walk into a desert border.

Been waiting for this feature to be ported. https://twitter.com/jeb_/status/729944787609096192

For the two new craftable Nether blocks Jeb showed today, I'm seeing mixed feelings from people on Reddit. One side generally appreciates them; the other side simply dislikes their textures or criticized them being too similar to already existing blocks or as too odd to build with.

While yes. Appliance of Jeb's Law is expected.

However, not everything he or the other developers add has to be perfect nor super creative.

Hmm.. I I'm not actully seeing that much of a use for the structure block because a. It's 5:00 in the morning or b. It seems to do the exact same thing as clone, and has the same max area as /clone. However, Jeb says that it can be used to move structures between worlds in the Reddit thread between worlds.

Edit like 1 minute later: Well, I think the answer to why are these so unoriginal is a, because when I read further in the thread, these structure blocks can be used to mirror and rotate blocks. Cool!

While mirroring and rotating will be cool, it's still not the main use. It's main use is to /clone an object into a file, or vice versa. Think .schematic files. I see this more as a modding tool than anything else. Sorta like the .json block model files, but now for world generation mods.

Structure blocks do outline the selected area that will be written to a structure file, so I'm guessing that's what the white is. Basically structure blocks are like /clone but they use blocks with nbt parameters and you place one at each corner and it copies it to an .nbt file.

The wiki has some information on this: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Structure_Block

This is how they were able to make the end cities really complicated without having to code all that fancy architecture.

I've done a lot of experimenting with the current structure blocks and I've never been able to do anything with them. It seems that Mojang did something to disable them when they were done using them. Maybe they're making them usable for modders now? If that's true then we could see something similar to the .schematic files.

EDIT: I just realized that white square is around another nether stronghold. Could this mean mojang is revamping nether strongholds to use the new end city technology?

And also, what does jeb mean by it being the second "game editor" block in 1.10? Is there yet another new block?

The only reason windows 10 edition runs better than the java version is because Microsoft is able to dedicate much more time to it than Mojang does. It has much more optimized rendering and Mojang is still working on cleaning up the java version's rendering.

I think the windows 10 edition will always perform much better than the java version, because when Minecraft was made, notch was just having fun and didn't think about making a good engine. That doesn't mean I'm switching to windows 10 edition though. In fact I despise it.

Okay, I finished. It's a one time only thing, unfortunately, but you can reset it by opening a door and placing two blocks while picking up an item. Go to the album I'm linking to below and you can see how it works. Enjoy! Or something like that.

Well I think this should be a pretty extreme challenge (if not impossible).

I have seen these devices before, but i'm not sure what they're named. They're the devices that are made of 2 dispensers and 2 comperators or something. They take a single input and have 2 outputs, where the output is random. I guess I could call it a randomizer, but i think that's the name for the device that gives pulses at random times.

So basically my request is to make an alternative version of this device..... in pocket edition. You could make it single use only if you want (i'm thinking falling sand based or something).

Lol yeah I had to make my account to post to this thread, i've been meaning to do it for a long time now.

I'll probably make a thread on it once it's a bit more developed and I have some more to show.

You are definitely right about the fact that it shouldn't only be about exploration. And my goal for this mod is for it to be very scientific and educational, and still be pretty fun. The scientific part, I have all figured out. Now the fun part will probably be a process after i release alpha. But i'm hoping that making it very scientific will still make it fun.

So first off, I am not putting any monsters on planets that wouldn't really have life. Now i might put some life on Europa and Titan, but any monsters/animals will have to be for planets outside our solar system, which will be procedurally generated. So I will definitely want to make a procedural life generator. I know that sounds crazy, but this is minecraft and blocky aliens shouldn't be too hard to generate. My real point for this is that I dont want to make the universe a pre-programmed world. I want people to be able to go to millions of different star systems and really feel like they're in a huge galaxy. But the procedural star systems, is probably something for a later date.

So with not really any enemies, the main goal will have to be survival. First off, orbit-based free-flying is basically just how real spaceflight works. you liftoff, get enough velocity around a planet to where you can orbit it. You perform thruster burns in certain maneuvers to change your orbit, and maybe perform interplanetary travel. I've played spaceflight simulators, and basically that's how I want flying to be in this mod. Now of course I'll make the autopilot do most of the work for people who don't want to study orbital mechanics. But it will still be an actual challenge getting to the moon. You have to pack enough fuel, your ship can't be too heavy, you have to boost away from the earth at the right time. That in itself, I believe will make up for the gameplay-loss of not having enemies. And when you're actually on whatever planet you're on it should be a battle for survival. Beginner space suits will be fragile and may break in a martian dust storm, etc.

So hopefully once I finish laying all the base engine code, I can get to work on what will make it an actual fun mod.

Well currently every planet and moon in the solar system has been added. But only mercury, venus, mars, and europa terrain generation have been programmed. all the other moons currently generate as europa. The whole solar system renders in the skybox of the planet you're on, but with a recent change I had to disable the daylight cycle, and need to bring that feature back. I have the chunk entity system to the point to where you can place a rocket core block which really isn't a block at all, but a spawned chunk entity with just 1 block in the center, and when you right click that block with a block in your hand it places that block into the chunk entity, giving the illusion of placing an actual block. my to-do list is to finish planet terrain generation, finish the chunk entity system by adding collision detection, add a whole new empty dimension representing space, which renders the solar system based on where you are and can only contain chunk entities. Simulate zero gravity (that's the toughest part). and add all the gadgets, parts for chunk entities to make them fly and such, airlocks, and any other cool futuristic gadgets I can think of. And possibly after the public release i'll add procedural star systems with procedural planets. This won't be too hard since the current planet system only requires a few parameters for each planet.

Hello everyone, I am the main developer of a mod currently named futurecraft. The name will likely change in the future since we discovered other mods allready named this. I have been working for about a year now on this mod, and I will probably not be done anytime soon. Circuitlord is also a member of the team and hence his spoiler.

So yeah I know what you guys mean, galacticraft needs some improvement. Now I completely respect galacticraft and am not trying to replace it. This mod will basically be a more hardcore version of it (think of OpenComputers as compared to ComputerCraft).

My mod plans to have buildable rockets out of blocks, and by buildable rockets I dont mean like Archimedes' ships, you will be able to stand and build onto the rocket as it's an entity, free flying in space (by free flying I don't mean like star wars, but orbit-based), every planet (and moon) in the solar system, and realistic orbits of all the planets and moons.

And here are some screenshots so you know it's real.
