Clearly he just didn't want it hard enough.

Even when you die in Single Player, your structures remain standing, and if you go back to the spot where you died, you can pick up all your equipment. Niku wants it to delete your entire save when you die.

The video was taken in the "indev" version, which I believe did not let you respawn and forced you to load an earlier save (don't remember exactly how it worked).  It was similar to a "hardcore mode", but that was removed when he changed to the infinite maps.  I wouldn't be surprised to see a hardcore mode return.

[JDigital]

Hardcore mode is easy. When killed, ragequit.

MINECORPSE is on! To play it, look for the lava tower behind spawn.

[jsnlxndrlv]

In case you're confused like I was, MINECORPSE is Minecraft Exquisite Corpse. Zaratustra has constructed a cobblestone framework and lava "curtains" blocking the view of the structure. When one person is finished with their floor, they fill in any openings in the top layer of blocks in their floor with dirt; the next participant moves to the floor above, and can use the non-dirt blocks as guides for what to build off of. In this way we will build an enormous, inexplicable tower-statue thing. Then we'll remove the dirt separating each floor from the next and Zara will turn off the lava-fall, and the whole structure will be visible.

i like when people explain things I've done

you see i have the add

[Joxam]

He mad the signs for a reason, you tosser!

[jsnlxndrlv]

Yeah, and I was like "let me read these" "..." "Zara, how does this work"

[NexAdruin]

The signs didn't say "build primarily off the blocks of the previous builder." Now I understand why dirt floors weren't just already in there so multiple people could work simultaneously.

[upthorn]

There's an unsigned level in the exquisite corpse tower that has been closed off. Does anybody know whose it is?

IT IS A MYSTERY

What's the deal with the Minecraft temporary server?  It appears to be hell on earth.

[Esperath]

We were stress testing the server.  With dynamite.  And lava.

[jsnlxndrlv]

Brentai gave a bunch of us op powers and asked us to stress test the server, so we've spent most of our time spawning TNT and lava and trying to see just how much lag we can generate. Also, much time was spent determining how TNT reacts to client-side vs. server-side detonations. We also spent a little time rebuilding the spawn; for a while it was a hole straight through to the bedrock.

(Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.)

Oh, damn.

[TA]

If a single cube is supposed to be a meter in each dimension, then a 25x25x25 cube of TNT is roughly equivalent to Little Boy.

[jsnlxndrlv]

Before anybody panics, Joxam uploaded the server map on #finalfight so Brent could get us going on the new machine, and a bunch of us downloaded it, so we've been blowing up the world on our own machines. I'm really regretting that the upper floors of the sand castle don't yet have a bunch of internal sand or gravel walls. I'm going to need to fix that.

YEAH GREAT RUIN MY FUNB
