Minecraft beta 1.5 video preview: Weather, stats and achievements - Games

[QUOTE=Kylel999;29159629]It'd be cool if there were seasons (to an extent, obviously each one should be shorter than 90 in-game days, maybe something like 10 to 15) and, during heavy snowstorms, snow could accumulate, block doors, slowly remove health (1/2 a heart every 30 seconds outside?), and reduce visibility to nearly zero.. Oh god, that'd be fun on multiplayer if everybody was stranded indoors. [editline]14th April 2011[/editline] I just want to see snow in forest biomes, I never play in snow biomes.[/QUOTE] Oh man. Can imagine being with a couple of others inside a log cabin, with heavy snowstorm outside, maybe some lightning, huddling near a fireplace waiting for spring.

[quote]notch Markus Persson Herobrine is still not real, and I added an option to 1.5 to turn on occlusion culling. Most computers can handle it, and it helps a lot. 14 minutes ago[/quote]

Wish notch would implement proper crouching (so you can fit into 1 block high spaces)

What's occlusion culling? [editline]14th April 2011[/editline] um nothing interesting it seems

I want this, and I want it now.

[QUOTE=RivaGe;29166718]What's occlusion culling? [editline]14th April 2011[/editline] um nothing interesting it seems[/QUOTE] Basically, not rendering stuff that you can't see. So theoretically a performance boost.

[QUOTE=RivaGe;29166718]What's occlusion culling? [editline]14th April 2011[/editline] um nothing interesting it seems[/QUOTE] Things they aren't seen on screen will no longer be rendered. Like underground caves, for example. For people like me, who have shit computers, it's a godsend.

They Should Add : Creeper hit by lightning turn into Electro Creeper :D

[QUOTE=Mitchel.;29171611]They Should Add : Creeper hit by lightning turn into Electro Creeper :D[/QUOTE] I think Mojang had an idea to make stone creepers, fire spiders and stuff like that, I think this would be a good way to get one of the custom enemy.

[QUOTE=Mitchel.;29172115]Stone Creeper Gonna Be Worst Dream of Minecraft Players[/QUOTE] That would be quite good if sword had been weak on them but pickaxe would be as powerful as sword on normal enemy mobs.

[QUOTE=Mitchel.;29172115]Stone Creeper Gonna Be Worst Dream of Minecraft Players[/QUOTE] Just a friendly tip since you're new: Don't ever type like that. (with every word capitalized)

[QUOTE=Outcast;29166365][quote]notch Markus Persson Herobrine is still not real, and I added an option to 1.5 to turn on occlusion culling. Most computers can handle it, and it helps a lot. 14 minutes ago[/QUOTE][/QUOTE] People DO NOT realize how GREAT this is. It will increase performance heavily and make it to where even [b]laptops[/b] can run the game on Normal fog setting.

Waiting for it to come out and lag/break in multiplayer or something.

Better idea for flooding: Shit below water level that can be exposed to sunlight during day get flooded. Shit that does not reach sunlight during day or is above natural water level does not get flooded. Would make for interesting flooding in caves, IE if looking for exit; simply look for the water that isn't coming from the walls. [editline]15th April 2011[/editline] With occlusion culling, I can forgive Notch for the midweek (Roguedjack style feature creep) delay.

Hopefully Notch's Occlusion Culling actually does something because ever since the guy who made Optifog added it to it, it doesn't help me at all. Like, it makes no difference in performance anymore. I don't know why.

It's be pretty cool to see different types of spiders Spiders that spit venom Mother spiders (That are like, giant or something) and fast spiders I dunno why I want this, because I hate spiders beyond believe

Yeah, not in 1.5. hehe

there's really nothing unrealistic about climbing ladders with gaps but maybe it should be slower or something

[QUOTE=The very best;29185806]It's be pretty cool to see different types of spiders[/QUOTE] Although I'd rather have completely new enemies rather than enemy types, I still think it would be cool. [QUOTE=The very best;29185806]Spiders that spit venom[/QUOTE] Interesting, but perhaps they should move significantly slower than normal spiders to better balance this ability, and shouldn't have too far/fast traveling projectiles. [QUOTE=The very best;29185806]Mother spiders (That are like, giant or something)[/QUOTE] Cool, perhaps they should be a rare encounter like Slimes and only spawn in huge spacious and very deep down caves. [QUOTE=The very best;29185806]and fast spiders [/QUOTE] God no, Spiders are already the fastest mob in the game. DO NOT WANT. [editline]15th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=RivaGe;29186035]notch Markus Persson You know how you can climb ladders with gaps? Yeah, not in 1.5.[/QUOTE] GOD DAMN IT NOTCH! If you're going to force us to use significantly more ladders for everything, then at least make them less expensive and annoying to craft :argh: It's annoying as hell to have to place 7 sticks in different places only to receive 1 of something you need A LOT of.

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;29166431]Wish notch would implement proper crouching (so you can fit into 1 block high spaces)[/QUOTE] The claustrophobia will kick in.

I meant like, the venom spiders, stop, spit acid at you and that acid arches over at you and makes a 3-5 block venom area on the ground for 10 seconds or so

[editline]15th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Zeke129;29186074]there's really nothing unrealistic about climbing ladders with gaps but maybe it should be slower or something[/QUOTE] It's probably more for gameplay reasons than realism. He probably wants for ladders to be more expensive.

[QUOTE=gman_beeman;29062843]Notch should make it so that when you're covered by wood, the rain shouldn't make that noise, but instead, make the noise of rain coming down on a window. That'll make being in a house really cosy.[/QUOTE] this

Sand in proximity to water should be wet and not affected by gravity Alternatively, dirt in a desert biome should be dry and fall like sand and gravel Flowing water should also flow for much longer on stone and other solid blocks

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;29186153]Someone editing their post so they can be before someone who posted it before you. That's a new one. Or is it ninjas? I can't tell anymore. [/QUOTE] are you fucking high

It would make the biomes a lot more unique, which is something Minecraft has been missing for a while.
