I am inactive.

(This is based off of a thread a while ago called the Self Learning Wall, or Self Teaching Wall or something like that)

The goal of the game is to pass the warrior. There are many loopholes, until he learns how to counter them. It will become progressively harder, until it is impossible to pass. In that case, I will make a new thread or something similar. (If you have ideas of what to do then, either put it after your post or PM me. :))

You are walking on a path in the woods, but you run into a man clad in nothing. He says, "I am the Immortal Warrior! I can never die! And you may not pass by me without defeating me!"

Do whatever you think will let you pass, but keep to the laws of physics please. What do?

Traits:

People who have passed: (You can do it again, I'll just add a modifier by your name.)

They heavily balanced the melee combat in the 1.9 update. Though bows weren't even touched. I suggest that knockback scales along with the damage based on how much you charged the bow prior to shooting it. Also, if you shoot the bow without charging at all, it will do no damage whatsoever, but still the very small amount of knockback. This would prevent bow spamming and entice more players to use the new melee combat when close enough, instead of spamming right click.

~snips~

The bow would take the same amount of time to charge completely, but the fully charged bow wouldn't be a critical hit regardless, you would have to release the right mouse button during the brief amount of time the bow is critically available. If you wait too long, it will lose the critical hit, but still travel the same distance. You wouldn't be able to sit behind a corner and have an arrow crit waiting for a player walking near. Proper timing would show a bit more skill and stop people from camping with an arrow.

To compensate for the no-charge knockback removal, a critical hit would do more knockback as well.

Thanks for reading.

---There may be bad latency issues if the idea below is implemented. Please keep in mind that if that is the case, the idea is considered null, and I wouldn't want it part of the suggestion, or in the game.

Hitting your targets would now do more or less damage based on where the arrow hits.

List of part damages:

Torso: No changes

Leg: 0.6x

Arm: 0.6x

Head: 1.25x

Games aren't made to be realistic, they are made to be fun. This would make everything inconvenient and remove quality of life, making the game much less fun.

Quote from Zarlog_Core24»

Making a change this big this late in the game (it had the old combat system for 7 years for goodness sake!) should have at least given us an option to turn it off it we don't like it.

Quote from EN7»

I like everything in here. Traversing oceans, whether by choice or by circumstance, is incredibly boring. And visible fish have been long overdue, and sharks would add some credible marine threat. I really hope Mojang adds this stuff.

Quote from SsRao»

I was a gamer from my childhood.

If you don't want to use autojump you can turn it off in the top of the controls menu. But you should submit it to the bugtracker at https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC, even if it turns out not to be a bug.

Quote from REDPHISTOR2»

I looked in controls and saw now way to turn it off. It just says jump is the space bar. And yeah whatever!

You can turn it off. Controls section.

You could use ChestCommands to bring up the menu and execute the commands from MicroJump.

EDIT: They might not be updated, though. I used them a while ago.

Current dev status:

Lithial has taken over the mod mid 2013.
He is a very talented coder, and so I've given him my source code.

Counter Blocking Mechanic:

A new mechanic that brings the art of blocking to a whole new level.

If you time your parries correctly within 0.75 seconds of the hit
(without spamming the right mouse button) you can:

• Reduce damage by 1/2 heart * (parry level+1);
• Block blaze/dispensor fireballs.
• Apply damage to attacker (upto 1/2 heart per (parry_level +1)).
• Slow attacker down for 1.5 seconds (again dependant on parry level).

• LVL2-Parry: Arrows reflected back at source at 66% of the speed.
Increased damage on arrow;

((Man, I miss this roleplay. Anyone else still hanging around after two years?))

Quote from PandaManNicholas»

To Be Honest They Are not Really Op Unless you have Diamond Armor

~Panda

I actually like this idea. I'll give it a support :).

Though to clear out the clutter and to create a sense of urgency; I'd put a despawn timer on it; and have it so there's only one skeleton per player. Newer instances of skeleton replace the old one. In other words, if you didn't carry food and you died in the wild; you would spawn a skeleton. If you die on your way to retrieve the skeleton; the old one is LOST, and a new one containing your new loot is all that remains.

The real reason: to reduce lag (especially on high pop servers).

The benefits of this recommended change:

• create a tangible punishment for death and further discourages continuous short-term death.
• creates a greater sense of urgency to retrieve the body without dying in the process
• promotes survival aspects of minecraft

Possible problems:

• Punishing for new players that don't reliably understand this change
• Punishing for less skilled players
• With any suggestion, griefers will find a way.

Quote from GreenZombie76»

I really don't understand the hostility to the idea of catering to children below the age of 10, with a suggestion that changes absolutely no one elses game play preferences.

I get that, once you are 10 or older, a survival game is about surviving against the odds. Thats great. If you are over 10.

Title pretty much saves it all. You place a Hay Bale on the ground- nearby animals wonder to it, "eat it", it activates baby making mode, and boom- bred. It's obviously not permanent, after 9 cows "eat" the hay, its gone. (I will calls this BA, or breed activations.) It's realistic and adds a great feature, with very little work required.




Function:
Nearby animals will "eat" hay bales placed down and activate it's "breed mode" like you fed it with wheat.

Uses:
Use this to lure animals to the spot it's placed.
Use this with pistons to create a currently non-automatable process.
Saves time, from having to spam wheat in a pack of cows.

Details:
9 BAs per hay bale.
An animal has to be next to the hay bale for it to actually work.
Doesn't activate if there is a block above the hay bale. (Gives an option for aesthetic locale hay bale.)
Lures certain mobs within 5 blocks.

Balance:
9 BAs because 9 wheat is in a hay bale.
If you break the bale of hay after it's been eaten. If it will remember that it's been eaten,
If you try to deconstruct it, you will get less wheat for each BA it gave.
Only works with animals that can normally be bred with hay bales.
If the animal attempts to reach the hay and fails, it will wonder around once more.

Notes:
--There are lots of automated farms in game, and this isn't a 'reactor power mod auto machine breeder'- this still feels very tame, and very Minecraft.
--Doesn't require a new block, and gives a new purpose to existing blocks.
--Makes sense, and normally in real life that is how you feed cows.

--This system is harder to abuse than villager breeding, or other farms. The level of concentration of entities, isn't much different than current redstone creations.
--To understand the lure system, think of it as just taking out wheat, and how that normally effects the correct mobs.

Quote from koi9000jh»

Jitterclicking nonsense? More like skill.

Clicking very fast isn't a skill. Nor is it necessary. Everything has a .5th of a second of invincibility (mercy) frames. That means you cannot deal damage during that time. So clicking 10 times a second not only is a horrible excuse for skill, but also a useless one. If you want to tell me it's skill, please at least tell me how it's a skill without saying "It takes practice" and "Not everyone can do it".

Its removing skill.

Again, tell me how. The only thing truly removed was jitterclicking. All whatever excuses for skill you guys had in 1.7/1.8 exist in 1.9, along with more tactics. Timing your attacks is vital, because now there are multiple ways to fight, and each way counters one another. You now have to practice for every scenario instead of just knowing to "Strafe and jitterclick". I can go on with a huge in-depth list of a 1.8/1.9 comparison, but that'd take up too much space and be horribly off-topic of this thread.

Still its a skill that can be bypassed with an item.

I'm not even sure what you're referring to here. Finding your opponent isn't skill. It's luck. You can try and predict where they'll be at, sure, but again that's just luck and a bit of simple logic sometimes (Tactics at most if you really want to push it)

Skill, not exploit. It did increase kb taken but it did reduce damage taken.

The devs literally tried to patch this because it literally was an exploit. You literally cannot say it's not an exploit at all because it's literally a fact that it's an exploit. Literally.

You can get a one-shot kill without the power enchant if you use an instant damage 2 arrow.

Chorus fruit

You completely skipped the last part of my statement about this. You can't teleport inside a base. And if you can, that means you have to change up your base. Simple as that.

They're both skills. The one who clicks faster gets more kills. Those who strafe are harder to hit. They both make you harder to kill so they're both skills.

Read above about mercy frames. Also strafing is not a skill. It's literally holding down a A or D. That's it. Holding down a button is not a skill.

Quote from koi9000jh»

Being able to use two clicks together.

Right. I didn't ask what it was, I asked how using two mouse buttons is considered skill.
It's not. Clicking left and right mouse buttons are not skills. They are not an uncommon thing someone does. Anyone that owns a computer uses both of those mouse buttons on a daily basis.

Quote from koi9000jh»

Why should players be unable to jitterclick with a sword? Steve can literally carry over 3000 diamonds and wear full diamond armour yet still be able to run at 13mph.

Gameplay > Realism. Players unable to jitterclick falls into gameplay because of game balance. Minecraft isn't unrealistic nor realistic. It's Minecraft. Some things make sense, others don't. The reason why is for both game balance and enjoyment.

This is as far as I'm going to go as so the thread doesn't turn into another generic "1.8 is better than 1.9/1.9 is better than 1.8" thread and thus getting it locked. If you really want to continue this topic for whatever reason, then we can continue it elsewhere. . Anything I didn't reply to was most likely because it just was generic complaints and there's really no point to argue about them (I.E; The Brewing Stand costing blaze powder to use, etc.)


And to be on topic more, a lot of people have had a hard time adjusting to the attack cooldown for whatever reason, so that also contributes to the hate 1.9 gets. Be it because they actually didn't give the thing a chance longer than 2 minutes, or they just somehow can't get it. Though I've noticed a lot of the hate has kinda went silent, it seems people either just dealt, actually started to enjoy the features, or are still happily (Or slightly less happily) sticking with their favorite versions. So this thread is kinda late on the topic.
