Minecraft - This game needs its own thread!
September 29th 2010, 09:42 CEST by G-Man It seems like everybody with a PC and a pulse is currently playing Minecraft. And for good reason too - the game is nothing less than a revelation. Who knew that such a simple suite of world-building tools and a procedurally generated universe could be the source of nearly endless entertainment? Like digital LEGO, the game sets players free to build to their hearts content, limited only by their own patience (or madness) and willingness to see a project through. Now you don't have to be left out of the block-shaped insanity. Gabe has set up an official Planetcrap Minecraft server for our enjoyment. Just enter port 5000 of his vanity domain as the IP address in the multiplayer mode to connect with the server and start building something awesome! |

Bob, is there a guideline for selling frogs? I tend to want to collect everything and resisted selling at first, but since you can only have so many I'm guessing that the way you're "supposed" to play is that you grow and sell off the common frogs and breed successively rarer frogs to keep leveling up? So I've been doing a lot of quick breed-grow-sell stuff with the level 1-3 frogs (I'm only level 4 right now). |
|
Jibble, to be fair, Wudi is doing some pretty cool things on the server. |
|
Also, backup process? HAHAHA! |
|
I figured. And yes, Wudi is an oddly productive member of our Minecraft community. I have two things I want to do right now. One of them requires a lot more redstone than I currently have. The other will just require a little time and effort. Guess we'll see which wins. |
|
I can summon items, so let me know what you need. No guarantee I'll do it. |

Bob, is there a guideline for selling frogs? Not really. You don't have to worry about keeping frogs around except when you need specific colors or styles to get awards, since you can always find more frogs in the pond and you can buy frogs at a discount from Frogmart when you need money. I need to clear out higher-level frogs from my catalog since they're so overpriced that I never buy them. I think I need to catalog the primary and secondary colors with some level 1 or 2 frogs so I always have them available for cheap. BUYBUYBUY

|
So can you battle these frogs...or just collect them? "programmers talk from a very deep gnome cavern, full of gold mechanics" - wisdom from the ancients

Jibble (#47): I noticed he also appeared to have messed with someone's hovel. Glass entrance, couple of torches, I think it's TreeFrog's. What? Cocksucker.

I think I need to catalog the primary and secondary colors with some level 1 or 2 frogs so I always have them available for cheap. I haven't figured out what the catalog does for you. So it just allows you to buy the frogs directly? How is it different from Frogmart? |
|
Frogmart gives you a random selection of frogs that changes daily. The catalog lets you save up to 50 specific frogs to rebuy whenever you want. Except the catalog sells for more than the frog is worth while Frogmart sells for less than the frog is worth. BUYBUYBUY

Nice hijack Caryn. I hope to be able to log on to the server to start a new project tonight, but I may not be available. |
|
#58 by Gabe I can summon items, so let me know what you need. No guarantee I'll do it. Just redstone, really. I need to expand my mine anyway, but if I see you're around I might make a request. I'm basically just going to embellish my floating nametag a bit. |
|
More hijacking: Team Fortress 2 update is out adding item trading, item customization, and an in-game store. Seriously, you can buy hats now. Also the newest items confer set bonuses like the potentially-game-breaking sniper set bonus: "The wearer cannot be killed by headshots." Also there is now a sniper rifle that shoots pee. BUYBUYBUY
|
|
I hope to cause calamity tonight. |
|
Jibble - if my storage chest is still there I'll leave you some redstone. Reuse a different thread for the non-mining stuff, for christ's sake.

#68 by TreeFrog Reuse a different thread for the non-mining stuff, for christ's sake. Welcome to PlanetCrap, please enjoy your stay. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Ten threads on the front page alone. TEN! "One part disembowels me while another slowly eats its way through the gas line. As I bleed out on the floor, it reminds me that I need to buy milk." - Jibble

You are enjoying your stay, yes? <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Nothing sounds wrong with that plan at all. |

|
Now you finally have a legitimate target for your irrational hatred of TF2. Of course it's still irrelevant since you haven't played the game in forever. It has been pointed out that the set bonus requires snipers to not wear the Razorback, meaning they're wide open for backstabs. So like all of TF2's weapons it just encourages different tactics.

Right, screw you guys. I'm going to dig some holes. "One part disembowels me while another slowly eats its way through the gas line. As I bleed out on the floor, it reminds me that I need to buy milk." - Jibble

I have a stack of 64 redstone, I will drop it in the community chest when I get a chance. |
|
I'm going to need to organise a railway, the dropbear palace is too far away from the main spawn. |
|
I agree that maybe the new items do indeed break balance...I'll have to test to see if I feel so in game. That said, while I have no intention of buying anything, it does jazz me up to play some more... "programmers talk from a very deep gnome cavern, full of gold mechanics" - wisdom from the ancients
|
|
I've never built anything with redstone other than a compass. Are there any good examples on the server of cool stuff? |
|
Not yet. There will be soon. |
|
Chickens love my home. |
|
So a bunch of us played until the point that the server started lagging hard. This game is insanely addictive. |
|
Oh, and thanks to the wonder of 5-clock gates, my nameplate now has blinky torches. Huzzah. |
|
I would have kept going but I'd lay five blocks and turn around to see them all gone. That and it was going from day to night in about 30 seconds. I don't care if it's buggy as hell, MP is where it's at, no way I'm going back to SP. |
|
I should probably take some time to explore other public servers at some point. Would be interesting to see what people are doing out there. |
|
In case any of you are wondering, my bridge is NOT finished yet. |
|
Huh, my Minecraft says it can't log in. How odd. |
|
The server is screwed up right now. I was chopping down trees and it gave me sand instead of wood. Does anyone know a good mine that isn't empty? I need to make a bowl. |
|
How do I get the server to stop screwing up? Just stop and start it? |
|
I guess just back up the map files, then shut it down and start it back up. |
|
Bounced the server app and it seemed to be behaving better. |
|
If you'll add that to the crontab, we'll all be very grateful. I've played until 2AM yesterday and just stared at all the shit you've changed while I was lost - until Pogo asked Gabe to teleport me back, which I was on the verge of asking myself. (Thanks!) How big is the map, anyway? Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.

ok goddamnit, I've picked up minecraft. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

Someone email me the ip address or something. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

|
Facebooked. |
|
Nevermind. |

The brain slugs get another one. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
NOOOOOOOOOOO! Now the large group of people who view this site will all know and the whole thing will be ruined. Thanks, gabe! |
|
i'm all good, thanks guys. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

|
I am so afraid to try Minecraft. |
|
This is like watching all your friends become zombies and feeling like it will inevitably happen to you, no matter how hard you hole yourself up with your shotgun and canned goods. |
|
Pretty much, Caryn, pretty much. It doesn't help that I think my xbox just died on me. There are a few tricks to try out yet, but it just started freezing up on my consistently and it doesn't look good. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
