The Minecraft Thread

I'm a big fan of various arthropods, it's just that a big spider seemed like the most logical choice for a boss since we already have hordes of small ones.

I still posit having coconut crabs on beaches as a passive, breedable mob.

(x4) I wouldn't mind fighting a wood louse the size of a house. It would be especially amusing if it dropped stacks of wood upon death as well.

I do think we could use some larger terrestrial mobs. Ghasts and Elder Guardians are cool but they're Nether-aerial and underwater respectively. Some lumbering beast around the main overworld would be neat.

"wood louse the size of a house"

Well. I can now say definitively that underground living is not for me. Getting lost in a cave system is bad enough. Getting lost while surrounded by hostile enemies? Even worse. And so frustrating; I use the old 'put the torches on one side as you go, so you can follow them out' trick, and still got lost! How? Creepers. They keep ruining the landscape by blowing up the walls and floors dividing the caves, so when it's time to leave, I just see torches everywhere, in all directions (lol, I almost typed erections there )!

In other news, I had my first Enderman fight. I didn't mean to. First, it was nice to actually see one, after spending weeks hearing them (idle sounds, and teleporting around) wherever I was. Second, I realize they're harmless as long I leave them alone. But, I was fighting off other monsters, and then turned without thinking, and there he was, right in the cross-hairs. It was weird; he never struck or teleported, just stood there and let me hack him to death. Granted, I had the high ground, but still. I don't know if it was a glitch, or because I'm playing on easy. He didn't even drop anything when he died.

One thing I'm getting really tired of, is slimes. I realize I'm in a swamp, but come on! Between the chest at my house and the one at this ravine base, I probably have almost a stack of slime balls!

I lived underground once. I had a City town hamlet couple of buildings I built in a ravine. Keep meaning to try again.

I want a moth buddy.

Slime blocks! Lots of slime blocks for all!

Oh mother of fucking god... I just realized.

You know how all the bosses so far are capable of flying?

And how some people want an arthropod boss?

Mothra...

Gentlemen, we've reached the Godzilla Threshold. Ready the TNT cannons!

The Turkish government is investigating whether Minecraft promotes violence and could seek a nation wide ban.

Do you think there will be new biome exclusive bosses now that we have that Guardian Boss? I mean, the Ender Dragon is technically exclusive to the End biome, but it's also it's own dimension, so I don't think that counts.

EDIT: So, one guy in a position of power thinks that Minecraft may be too violent? Is that it?

EDIT 2: Or is it a woman? I think they refer to the person as "Mrs."?

I am so fucking ready for a Mothra fight you have no idea. I openly welcome this Godzilla Threshold!

guys

i don't know what happened

but I think I just TELEPORTED

like i was digging through some stone and the game suddenly moved me over 100 blocks away in an instant

Godammit, I think there's something wrong with my castle or MC Edit. Transferring it over again empties all my chests and tosses the contents around random chunks. Or slows the game down to a 5 frame crawl. Any idea what the problem may be? Been working on this project for nearly two years now and across like eight worlds, would hate to have to finally abandon it.

there is an Enderman hanging around outside of my house and I

cannot

handle it

brb gonna toss my computer into a woodchipper

x7

You mean Turkey plans to "block" it?

Oh shut up; some of you were thinking it.

Hold on a sec, which version of MCedit are you using?

Project: Market Street is almost done. We have one of every villager except a sheperd, and most of the sales stalls are finished. Just gotta wait for these guys to breed one for me.

Turns out Farmers are a REALLY good source of emerald when you happen to own a huge farm yourself.

Everybody knows they're scamming the player.

I'm using dev-0.1.8build692.win-amd64 at the moment. The latest build is unusable, it uses every byte of RAM to function. I tried and couldn't even find the import feature...so no idea how it would help me.

The project is now done. All 11 sales stalls have been constructed, fitted with a villager, and even given a charming punny name.

It was an ambitious project. Even I laughed at me when I first proposed kidnapping Villagers to make a market street. But I showed me!

Anyway, I'd like to use Name Tags to give each villager a name. I'm calling the Fisherman Salty Pete, the Librarian Dewey... and the Leatherworker "Daddy" (Quotations included). Any other name suggestions?

So who has a multiplayer server people frequently play on?

New version of MC Edit fixed my problems. Excavating the Wandering Castle from the hillside once again.

I need to get rid of my villagers and start over somehow to have them trade properly per the last version or two, right? But I can't take a sword to them since there's that hidden reputation stat...and I can't dump lava on them since their apartment complex is wood.

Dump gravel on them.

Take out the lights and let the zombies do the dirty work.
