I highly recommend 6408041108247085973 because it's got nice coral reefs surrounding it, even though you don't spawn there. Although where you do spawn is also quite nice as it has a desert village and temple nearby.

The seed 6001927231719828555 DOES technically spawn you on a Jungle island... but for some reason it's completely surrounded by icebergs. I don't recommend this one as much.

Thanks. All the syntax seems to have changed so it's like I have to learn everything all over again.

Hi. I haven't attempted map making since before the command block overhaul and I'm trying to learn everything again. So, what I'm trying to do here is make an item that despawns after 2 minutes instead of the normal 5. I used to know how to do this before.

/summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {Item:{Age:3600,id:"minecraft:diamond",Count:1b}} - this doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

It's a snapshot, stuff is still broken and not the final version.

if cheats are on, type /gamerule mobGriefing false

If cheats are off you can't

You haven't been following the 1.9 news have you?

Anyway, there's already a way to disable hostile mobs. It's called Peaceful Mode. It can be toggled off and on at a player's will. No support.

Well DUH!

When I bought the game last year I was told by my nieces about all the mods available to the game. Stuff that can modify the game so much that it almost seems like cheating. However, I've never modded any single player game I play. I tend to find it more fun to take on the challenges the game programmers intended for the game. I'll probably start using mods at some point if/when I decide to try multiplayer, but only as whatever that server I connect to requires.



So who around here still plays Minecraft as is, updated only by its developers?

I play vanilla only.
What do you mean, "...it almost seems like cheating." Seems like most of them are cheats.
I'm with you on this one.


To me, it seems like there's 3 "Minecrafts" out there.
1- The original (vanilla) MC- the game that the designers intended for you to play. Looked down upon because that's the one "noobs" play.
2- The modded Minecraft- the one people are either trying to make more interesting (less boring) or have shortcuts in cause they want to play by their own rules, think that they can "improve" the game, or simply because they want to feel 'special' cause they've 'customized' the game. ("I'm running a mod!" "So, I'm running a mod pack!!")
3- The Minecraft mini-games. These people are bored of MC and don't want to play it anymore. They'd much rather play another game, but they use MC to make it. They'd use Project Spark (which can do so much more and look 10X better doing it), but MC is so much easier to work with. (Heck, any kid can do it.) Course, most of these people who make (and play) these mini-games have 0 originality- it's the same ole PVP, Hunger Games, etc., over and over.
I think another reason why people write mini-games is that MC has no end per se and no 'winner', and that frustrates the beejebers out of some people. So they come up with mini-games that 'end' and have a 'winner'.

If you like mods or mini-games, good for you. But to me it sounds like if you need mods or mini-games to enjoy MC, you've outgrown it and it's time to move on to another more interesting/challenging game. "Minecraft" isn't your 'style' anymore.
