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

[QUOTE=EmperorVagak;29106538]Windstorms. You deal with a current of wind that blows you. To avoid it, you need to be indoors. After that, Notch should add... [I]disasters.[/I] [b]Tornado![/b][/QUOTE] Isn't he going to?

[QUOTE=simazzarome;29106106]Not sure if anyone else would agree with me here but doesn't the Nether just seem like a huge waste of time, gameplay AND development wise? I rarely even go down there since theres nothing to do. And I would have prefered it if the time used creating the Nether was put into adding stuff to the normal Minecraft world.[/QUOTE] I only ever use the Nether to get easy buckets of lava, since everything I build seems to look better with lava flowing from it. :v:

[QUOTE=no-named;29106999][url]http://twitter.com/notch/status/57426954093211648[/url][/QUOTE] That's a bit too much.

[QUOTE=DemonDog2;29107388]Your Comment James Bond cartoon villain avatar :v:[/QUOTE] I read your post, took a bite of my hotdog, and looked up to reread my post keeping my avatar in mind. I nearly choked.

[QUOTE=DeandreT;29103868]Mojang really need to improve on the farming aspect of the game. There needs to be different crops, maybe you can grow apple trees? Or some wheat would not grow properly and die. Even growing flowers, over time flowers could spread in a small area. What I personally would like to see is different types of foods, and things like knives to cut bread into small slices. Then you would you would go to a countertop and use the two bread slices, one pork, and cheese to make a sandwich. A counter could be made with wood and iron or stone.[/QUOTE] I want to see more fleshed out survival aspects. In-depth hunting (Red Dead Redemption comes to mind.) and farming would be great.

[QUOTE=Raiderz;29101134]Some people don't want to plan for random crap like that. I personally play on peaceful and don't care about the survival aspect of the game. I just want to build. I don't want to build something just the way I want it, then go "Ok, time to build a big ugly barricade around it."[/QUOTE] Disable flooding in the options.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;29109415]I want to see more fleshed out survival aspects. In-depth hunting (Red Dead Redemption comes to mind.) and farming would be great.[/QUOTE] Fleshing out seems to be one thing they just don't want to do, as if it's not in their philosphy of how the game should be. They're thinking about adding lots of new independent features, rather than having less features which are more detailed. Wolves, for example, could be a lot more interesting of a feature, but they don't really serve much of a purpose at the moment.

Can't wait to see the modding API though, I can see this being as modifiable as Garry's Mod. Then we can all be happy.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;29109415]I want to see more fleshed out survival aspects. In-depth hunting (Red Dead Redemption comes to mind.) and farming would be great.[/QUOTE] Basically harvest moon in minecraft. Then I will be happy.

Achievement system looks like such an excellent blend of achievements and tutorial. Really well done imo.

Yeah, when Notch is working serious, he makes epic stuff.

Maybe it will be today :swoon:

hahahahahaha no

I'd love a more powerful Mob. One that, when I hear it's sound or see something it leaves in it's wake, sends me running. Or at least very difficult to kill, like a Librarian from Metro 2033.

Giant Creepers, has 3 times larger blast radius.

[QUOTE=Skunky;29114225]because if you get hit by a lighting, you obviously wont die.[/QUOTE] well not everyone dies when hit by lightning but that wasnt what I was getting at, I just think this would be a clever way to introduce Pigmen for now, I just think Zombie Pigmen wouldn't look right in the normal world, they fit more with the nether. Plus dont they constanly set on fire then extinguishe themselves due to some sort of bug?

We'll be lucky if he gets it in next week.

I don't know if this is late or not, but did anyone else notice distance flown in statistics?

I have came to the conclusion that Notch is going on a feature creep Roguedjack style and will not release the update until 6 months and 25 vacations later when he is finally finished adding crap.

So if a cloud flies through the top of my building am I safe from lightning? Am I safe if I'm above the clouds?

[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;29115459]So if a cloud flies through the top of my building am I safe from lightning? Am I safe if I'm above the clouds?[/QUOTE] Cloud level didn't affect snow when that was in before but I'm not sure how he'll handle lightning. Probably as safe as anywhere else.

[QUOTE=no-named;29106999][url]http://twitter.com/notch/status/57426954093211648[/url][/QUOTE] That's fucking awesome hahaha! The chances of lighting striking a pig is probably going to be pretty rare too.

[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;29115459]So if a cloud flies through the top of my building am I safe from lightning? Am I safe if I'm above the clouds?[/QUOTE] No clue. Though, I don't think so because cloud height depends on the texture pack and graphics settings.

I got rid of clouds. Fuck that shit.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;29115563]No clue. Though, I don't think so because cloud height depends on the texture pack and graphics settings.[/QUOTE] Cloud height doesn't depend on those things, but they can be changed with mods. Graphics settings only affects wether their 3d or 2d.
