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

Rain effect looks real nice.

OH GOD I CAN'T WAIT. /caps

what annoys me is that rain has been around since survival test: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCYXl0fwyrs&feature=channel_video_title[/media]

rain should create a small patch of water, just like show, that moves you very slightly.

Walk back home from dungeon adventure with a shitload of diamonds, Get struck by lightning.

Minecraft needs ambient sound. Now.

Did anyone notice the "distance flown" in the satistics? So we'll get to fly on somthing in future updates!?

I hope rain doesn't fill holes with water. My mine with a vertical entrance will be fucked. [editline]9th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=erik802;29066225]Add to op?

You see how lightening ignited the sand? Lightening should turn sand into glass where it strikes. [editline]9th April 2011[/editline] Also that rain sound is terrible.

What's with all the excitement over the piston mod? I don't really get the point of it...

[QUOTE=macdoo999;29070502]By distance flown they probably mean the distance moved while off the ground, while falling off cliffs and the like.[/QUOTE] But there is a distance fallen and distance flown, and they are different.

[QUOTE=Randdalf;29070303]What's with all the excitement over the piston mod? I don't really get the point of it...[/QUOTE] I thought the same at first but the amount of shit you can do with it is unbelieveable. You can make self-repairing structures, automated farm harvesters, drawbridges, watergates, light switches, and tons more that I can't think of right now.

[QUOTE=Hanibal;29066219]after 1.5[/QUOTE] I know, but I want it now because I'm an impatient bugger, but I don't have to deal with the mod installation nonsense.

Christ, this is getting better and better. I'm so looking forward for it.

[QUOTE=CowThing;29070842]But there is a distance fallen and distance flown, and they are different.[/QUOTE] He probably meant moving forwards while in the air i.e. explosions

I would like more environmental hazards. Like rain has consequences sometimes (water levels of ocean rise by 1 or something).

[editline]9th April 2011[/editline] If they could actually aim at a player... You could have floor turrets, a bit like the ones in HL2 with those blue laser scanner.

I wish we got pistons in 1.5. Guess I'll have to add it manually until then. Also, what if you engage two pistons facing each other at the same time?

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;29071757]I wish we got pistons in 1.5. Guess I'll have to add it manually until then. Also, what if you engage two pistons facing each other at the same time?[/QUOTE] The pistons collapse to create a black hole, deleting your world. (I'm guessing nothing will happen.)

Notch should add 1 more liquid, so we have 3 total. Like green goop from Slimes or something. Combining any non-spring liquid would always give you something. Lava+Water=cobble Lava+Goop=??? Water+Goop=??? This way, we could have 1 more fun liquid along with 2 more materials we could generate for our auto-constructing-piston-structures.

[QUOTE=macdoo999;29070502]By distance flown they probably mean the distance moved while off the ground, while falling off cliffs and the like.[/QUOTE] If that's so then why is there a "Distance fallen" as well?

The achievement tree and lighting look pretty awesome.

It could be used in pistons as hydraulic fluid or refined and used as fuel.

Rain would be great if it made different sounds on different materials. [QUOTE=Acesarge;29073244]IMO oil would be a good third liquid. It could be used in pistons as hydraulic fluid or refined and used as fuel.[/QUOTE] What is this, MaintenanceCraft? I don't want to have to fuel my contraptions.
