what would you even do at a minecraft con

Bring a couple lava tiles for trade and just burn it all to the ground

I just keep picturing this rapscallion making a beeline across the street, through the front doors, into the main congregation area, and wordlessly detonating the twenty pounds of dynamite under his costume

No but seriously the idea is awful

A convention around one game?

And a game that is currently so barebones that the only thing to talk about is this amazing shit you made and put videos up about on youtube

Yeah that'll never take off

Except Quake has the competitive aspect to it, they even have a tournament on it. And Doom was like 3 years old by then too.

Ziiro · « **Reply #1166 on:** August 11, 2011, 05:15:54 PM »

FPSes quickly joined in on it as well - what else could Minecraft hope to have at it's convention? Terraria? The voxel-based Minecraft clone? It's such a niche

No.

World Spleef Championships.

Honestly the idea of having a convention around an inherently constructive game like this is theoretically a fine one. In fact, even taking into a account how at least a forth of the attendees would be there simply to troll the project, I can see a collective sigh of satisfaction when they successfully create an utterly breathtaking sonic the hedgehog monolith in spite of the endless hordes pumping TNT into the thing from the outskirts of the map.

But minutes of this would last before the lead architect triggers the rows and rows of explosives secretly built into the entire substructure, crashing the server and bringing to a close another successful MineCon

The real question is what percentage of attendees will cosplay as a creeper.

Or how many horrifying examples of Rule 34/Rule 63 creepers there'll be.

Do you recommend Better than Wolves?

Any idea how compatible Aether and Better than Wolves are with each other and the Yogsbox?

Lottel · « **Reply #1172 on:** August 18, 2011, 09:44:44 PM »

Last I heard Aether was not compatible with the YogBox. That was an update ago, and I'm not entirely sure why, but I think a good chunk of it had to do with the extra ore and stuff and the treecapitate mod that is included. I think you can turn extra ore off, but I think treecapitate is stuck on.

Better than Wolves I heard works, but a few recipes don't work right and there's some trial and error to see what didn't work. Not sure what happened there.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #1173 on:** August 19, 2011, 03:43:32 AM »

Better than Wolves is another "building" mod. I haven't really used those much because building complex devices in single player is the saddest thing.

I'll try packing yogbox and aether together. Keep you informed.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #1174 on:** August 19, 2011, 07:56:21 AM »

Yep, that was a wash. Anyway, I've packed a few mods into a jar. This is very very unofficial so if you share it around don't let it get traced back here.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3923260/pyoko_*****.zip (replace ***** with the Default Pyoko Password (tm))

This includes:
* Aether (like nether, but make a frame of glowstone and ignite it with a bucket of water for a magical land)
* Millenaire (small villages around the landscape: go into the big mansions and right-click on the npc that greets you to trade)
* TooManyItems (for when you're tired of foraging for items)
* Smart Moving (primary uses: TAB to run, CTRL to grab ledges, SHIFT + CTRL to crawl)
* Zipline (2x string = rope, arrow + 8x rope to make a rope and arrow: craft this arrow with 8 more rope to make the rope longer)
* Recipe Book (lets you see every available recipe)
* Minimap (obvious)
* Somnia ("fixes" sleeping, lets you sleep during the day)
* Treecapitator (axes cut trees instantly: only regular axes with regular logs)
* Death Chest (die with chest on inventory to place it with your items)

With as popular as Bukkit's gotten, I'm kind of surprised I haven't seen anybody here mention it yet.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #1176 on:** August 19, 2011, 11:23:34 AM »

That would require someone to touch the bronto minecraft server, and that's forbidden.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #1177 on:** August 21, 2011, 03:45:17 PM »

Brentai, could you set things up so I am able to run a minecraft server on Bronto? I want to set a survival server with a monster-proof area for creative people.

Brentai · « **Reply #1178 on:** August 21, 2011, 06:15:36 PM »

Is it forbidden? I gave Smiler carte blanche to do whatever he wants with his access rights.

Anyway, no, I think we're running at our reasonable limit of Minecraft servers. Those things don't play as nicely with each other as they really ought to, even on separate JVMs/IPs/ports. If you want to freeze a currently running server (and I admit I don't quite know at the moment which ones are up) we can try that, but otherwise, you're gonna have to hijack an existing slot.

Beat Bandit · « **Reply #1179 on:** August 21, 2011, 06:20:53 PM »

Currently we have zanzibar, the SMP server no one touches with some nice stuff still up. And Bigshell, the SMP server no one ever played but me, Smiler, Joxam, Malikial and Garrison from TT.

Fucking crazy that servers in such high demand are being so neglected by the admin right guys?
