Minecraft as it is now runs into the classic endgame problem in the middle of the game. Notch is well aware of it, though.

I've been tunnelling out a gigantic homey mansion in my world. One of the newer rooms I added was a pool (nominally to function as my indoor water source) and thought "hey, I bet a sauna would be tits!", but installed the central heat patch without proper fireproofing. Almost burned down my whole damned house (the sauna was pretty isolated, but apparently flames can travel straight upward through two-cubit-thick non-flammable floors).

As it was, I had to rebuild the sauna. Twice. WELL, THAT WAS BRIGHT. HURRR DERP DE DERP.

I recommend the Clean Design Pack along with the BetterLight/Grass mods. I think they significantly improve the look of the game while still maintaining the distinct "minecraft" feel (a problem with many texture packs is that they change the look TOO much, and look out of place in the blocky minecraft world).

WARNING: the BetterLight mod will probably kill your performance unless you have a decent rig

Also, is the server still fucked/not updated? I kinda lost track of its status.

Oh my god that was the best New Years in forever.

Starr was mildly drunk and went on the Minecraft server of a friend (where she plays) to set off "fireworks" at 12 midnight in the yard. This server is one of those servers with many huge castles, gigantic elaborate bases, etc.

Only she and accidentally set fire to the "trading post" (an all wood building resembling a large ski chalet) which caught fire REALLY FAST and subsequently burned down in an amazing conflagration. All at the stroke of midnight.

Then she and other players on that server ran around spending the first few minutes of new years frantically trying to put out the fire.

Meanwhile me and other minecraft playing friends happened to be watching all this happen behind her in the apartment.

That was flat out awesome.

Server's fixed, because this is what I spend my New Year's Eve doing.

You could do far worse than spending your New Year's Eve being a man among men, affable yet glorious.

Twitter report: reed is gonna be retconned into sugar cane, on account of the cake recipe being (tentatively) 3x milk, 3x wheat, and 3x sugar, though Notch might replace some of that with eggs.

For that much work, that cake better be damn good.

It better give me some god damn super powers.

Mongrel · « **Reply #877 on:** January 10, 2011, 08:52:33 PM »

It's also going to be placeable like terrain.

And I sure as hell HOPE it uses eggs - at least they have a use then!
