NeoForte Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yay iOS version of Minecraft is confirmed. I hope Multiplayer is available for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalcyonSpirit Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) New update is live. Early reports say that Mojang accidentally the debug code again; starting a new world gives you diamond tools, torches and beds to start with.

Kenogu Labz Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I can totally see people abusing beds. Bring one along while exploring; night-time hits, run to the top of the nearest mountain... and crawl in bed?!? Talk about brave! And then you wake up to find a creeper in the bed with you.

TehDonut Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 the real question is can people sleep in the same bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I wasn't so interested in the addition of cobble and wood half-steps...but sandstone half-steps? All right, that's pretty nice. And it seems sandstone naturally spawns beneath sand now. Too bad we can't dye the beds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamer Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 the real question is can people sleep in the same bed AW YEAH! I like the new interface when you start the Minecraft application [EDIT: Removed stupid joke]. I also like the fact that it only takes two blocks of planks to make a pressure plate. I hated it when I have to use up three wood blocks to make a door and plate, but now I only need two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about brave! yeah no it actually does work a lot like sleeping in old rougelikes if you want to sleep in the middle of an unlit room, fine, just don't be surprised if you wake up with a spider in your face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenogu Labz Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Yeah, I'm hoping that you wake up a bit before dawn, just so there's still monsters out. In case you _are_ stupid enough to sleep outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 no I'm saying you won't sleep through the night because you will get jumped by a monster before dawn even gets close I know because I just tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 no I'm saying you won't sleep through the night because you will get jumped by a monster before dawn even gets closeI know because I just tried Now I want to see something like a monster creator plugin for alleged "adventure/dungeon mode"...

Kenogu Labz Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 no I'm saying you won't sleep through the night because you will get jumped by a monster before dawn even gets closeI know because I just tried But on multiplayer, that would break the 'skip night-time' feature, since you'd be skipping in very small chunks as monsters keep waking up everyone else.

Gollgagh Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 I consider just coordinating everyone to use a bed at night time a greater challenge than making sure they put their beds in a safe place. It's seriously not that that hard to just a dig a hole to plop a bed in for a night; your ideas about feature breaking are not that much of a concern.

Schwaltzvald Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I've said it before, he could just take away the time-skip effect and simply apply the new spawn location effect. Plus I like the night when I'm able to observe outside from within my place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 people have been asking for that feature for at least nine months, I can assure you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenogu Labz Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I can just see the fights now. "Justin, go to bed! No, I'm serious, they're after me! Justin? JUSTIN! GET IN BED RIGHT NOW THEY'RE GONNA EAT ME OH GRAAAAAAAAAAA~" But yeah. Schwaltzvald definitely has a better alternative. The only time you really want to skip night-time is early on, during the tedious startup. After that, you just keep a sword and a boatload of torches with you. Perhaps it would work better if the night-skip happens only in peaceful mode, when everyone prefers working in the daytime. Once the monsters are out, though, the bed should be able to operate differently. Perhaps he could treat it like the grail in La Mulana, where you can keep several bed-checkpoints, and teleport between them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Perhaps it would work better if the night-skip happens only in peaceful mode, when everyone prefers working in the daytime. If I couldn't do stuff outside there's the inside I could do such as carving out particular cellars and mining. I'll say it again, Notch can just leave out the time-skip effect and keep the "new-spawn" marker via bed in regards to Survival Multi-Player; problem solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenogu Labz Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Indeed, but good luck getting it to happen. I'm just playing devil's advocate, looking at other alternatives to satisfy both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Indeed, but good luck getting it to happen. I'm just playing devil's advocate, looking at other alternatives to satisfy both sides. It's not nearly as hard as implementing my Creature/Boss Creation plugin/mod idea and Notch has taken functionality away from certain parts of the game before, why would changing the beds for multi-player be any more difficult from cutting out the time skip effect? If anything, we would just have to wait for the hmod/bukkit(if only) to create such a plug-in.

Kenogu Labz Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Any bets that Notch has not made the system all that extensible with regard to monsters, though? I have this sneaking suspicion that each monster's behavior is hard-coded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalcyonSpirit Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Minecraft.net is down, so I can't connect to the server. Argh, I'm feeling the need to complete my town, too. I hope Mojang finds the new server they're looking for soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shael Riley Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I would like it if you would update the server; it's OK with me if this breaks add-ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowbar Man Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Demanding much? No offense, but not happening for a bit. Since its just beds and half steps, going to wait for hmod 1.3. Most of the people who play it religiously have kept the 1.2 client, and if you need help downgrading I have the materials. (Come to IRC) the fan hMod 1.3 shouldn't be too much longer, it was supposed to be out today but i dont think its going to make it MPUK has also started beta testing Bukkit on their london servers so hopefully we will get Bukkit in the near future Vanilla is too terribly broken and lifeless to use even if I have the option now Edited March 1, 2011 by Crowbar Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
