Wow. I sure wish I could develop an immensly popular unfinished game like minecraft in a couple weeks time and rake in millions in cash just to leave my millions fans in the lurch. Wait... no I dont.

I love how we have different water features but still no new water mobs -.-

I hoope they add Will Smith to the adventure update as a peacefull mob.

Where do you think they got the idea for endermen? lol jk jk

You do know you can host a small server for free right? The only time you have to pay for a server is f you intend to have 25+ people logged in at the same time. I'm thinking as time goes on and SMP becomes more streamlined free home servers will be able to support even more players on less RAM and bandwidth. But usually paid for servers allow you to donate through their website.

This seed will be even more fun once Notch incorporates perma-deth

This seed is awesome. I think the waterfalls are my favorite feature, it's not too often that you get to see aesthetically pleasing waterfalls generated randomly.

Am I the only one who thinks this idea vaguely sounds like the plot of Pikmin?

I like this idea a lot because seeing as how a key element in SSP and SMP is combating the darkness with light, a light themed mob would be appropriate. Not sure If I like the fact that they attack though. Personally I would just like passive whysps... but then of course they couldn't drop such nice stuff.

aloxamax that is the awesomest freaking idea ever! plus it would be nice if all armor had to be used up before your health starts to take hits

You don't think its a little OP that you can get to the highest tier of tools in less than 30 min on a new map if you know what you are doing? I personally welcome an exp system, it would make the game more addicting and you would feel more accomplished for playing long periods of time. If it is a stamina bar though, that is a heck of a lot of sprinting you can do!

He also mentioned lanterns, which would replace the use for something like this.

True, however we will still need a standing light source lest we have to wade through a tide of hostile mobs every time we want to explore or travel through parts of our mines we've already stripped of minerals.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, or if maybe it has been mentioned fulfilling a different purpose, but I think mirrors should be implemented into the game. "Mirrors?", you say, "why would I want a block so I can just look at myself? I can just switch to third person or open the inventory! Don't be a stupid noob! Fag! Homo! etc." (the flaming continues). Well its because mirrors could be used as a light source for dark caverns using natural light! Mirrors could be placed at an angle at the mouth of caves to divert light into the cave. Of course this would only produce a narrow beam of light and definitely would not be adequate to light up a cavern. This is where the mirrors partner block comes into play, Diffusion Blocks!(or prism whatever you guys like) Diffusion blocks would absorb and expel the light channeled by mirrors to light up a large area of a cave and still let the light through so that more mirrors could be placed at different angles to divert natural light further into the cave system. Now you may think "why not just use torches or glowstone to light up a cave?" Well because glowstone (although easier to craft since the update) is relatively hard to procure and really doesn't light up that much of an area, AND because notch has mentioned nerfing torches in the future and possibly making them run out altogether. A diffusion block placed in the beam of light would divert enough light to light up a 32x32x32 cubic area of natural sunlight. Much like glass blocks Diffusion blocks will shatter if punched but mirrors can be picked up and reused.

Here is my proposed recipe for a mirror:

this would produce 4 mirrors.

Let me know what you guys think about the idea, and please be logical and courteous.

The one thing I liked most about this idea was the thing about incubating eggs, however I would do it a little differently, instead of placing the egg and then surrounding it with materials, wouldn't it make more sense to have some sort of apparatus (kind of like a furnace) in which you could place the egg on top and then put the material to incubate it with on the bottom? It could even use the furnace's progression meter so you could see how far along it is. Of course when the baby is done incubating you wouldn't take it out as an item but rather it would spawn next to the incubator. You could even use the incubator to incubate chicken eggs for a chicken farm :biggrin.gif:

I just don't understand why some people want guns so bad when we already have bow & arrows? Why cant we just get like new arrows or something? But I agree whole-heartedly that guns do not fit the minecraft theme. Best to keep it as a mod...
