just do it in irl, buy a forest or go to one

The "autism" in any given Minecraft session is less anything resembling obsession and more an incredibly severe defensive mechanism caused by the realization that there's nothing to the game so your mind is trying to rationalize as many things to squeeze out of it before you finally realize it's a shallow piece of shit.

>>16710934

>No matter the mod, no matter the area

>Find highest mountain/hill

>Make a 5x5 shaft with negative-space stairs

>Use rubble from excavating to make tower in the opposite direction

I can't help it.

"Am I the only autist who loves Minecraft?" - OP, a retard

>>16710946

I don't blame you anon, it just seems incredibly fucking logical to do.

>>16710936

That would require actually going outside and doing something and remember what board we are on.

>>16710946

I do something similar to a mix of you and OP. Instead of a shaft I hollow out gigantic rectangular caverns, using the stone from that one mine as the building material for an entire series of towers (mostly 7x7 or 9x9 at the base and decreasing to 5x5 at the top at cloud-height, but some are larger) that I use as a means of navigation. My last map I had probably 30-40 of them.

>>16710934

>Anyone who still plays this game, what is your personal autistic endavours?

I'm the only one of a group of friends who kept up to date with it in the past 5 years, and recently one of said friends decided to get everyone together on a personal server running the latest version. My personal autistic endeavor is attempting to corral a herd of bumbling ADD idiots into actually completing a small goal each week, while also setting up farms so they can comfortably bumble around which I keep failing at since I get side tracked by other projects.

>been getting recommended minecraft videos

>2b2t is still running

Fuck man, I disregarded those threads as shilling and didn't expect it to be any fun, anyone here actually join that server?

>>16710936

Fpbp. We live in a yada yada yada.

>>16711078

>That sunken dungeon

Why did they change dungeon generation to be below y=40 again?

It was super cool having buried surface dungeons and hillside dungeons.

>>16711133

I did once, a long time ago. All I really remember is that the spawn area was a complete fucking hellhole blasted into oblivion, and you'd have to travel a good few kilometers before you'd find something even remotely useful, and that's assuming you didn't die of starvation in the process and be sent back to spawn. Assuming nothing's changed, I think that server is really only fun for people who have been around for years and actually have some shit set up in a remote corner of the map.

Aren't there any 8chan servers around?

>>16712147

I remember doing that myself once after seeing a guide on how to create a self-sufficient underwater glass-domed habitat. It's a generally good idea since you're far away from anything that could fuck with you, and once you've got farms set up you're free to set up mining shafts to go exploring where most people aren't going to bother. The problem was when they changed something in the world generation that caused the ocean floor to no longer be covered by sand, so you'd have to go back up on land if you needed more glass. That ruined a lot of the fun. Dunno if they changed it again after that.

>>16712147

>draining the interior of water through dirt shoveling

Use sand instead, so you can remove it with torches.

>>16712191

Ocean floors aren't sandy, except for warm ocean I think. But really you should just go to town on a desert with an efficiency III or IV diamond shovel, or torches if you can't get one of those yet.

>>16712225

>mining grainy-type blocks with a diamond shovel with efficiency IV

that machinegun sound is so satisfactory, whether its sand or gravel

>>16712225

Obviously that's what you'd have to do now, but the whole point of the tutorial was that you could build and expand without ever having to return to land just by using the resources you found in the depths. Sucks that you can't really do that anymore, but really that's only the tip of the iceberg with regards to how meh the world generation became over the years.

>>16711078

>first image

Are there any good texture packs that are kept up to date? I remember using Painterly and Tronic back in the beta days, and even before that there was this cool LttP-themed pack for alpha. But I imagine that with all the new stuff that's been added and the fact that a lot of people play with mods, there aren't a lot of packs being maintained anymore.

>>16712595

When I decided to reinstall Minecraft on a lark about a year or two ago, I remember going to grab the latest Painterly pack, only to find that it hadn't been updated in at least a couple years at that point. Checked the website just now, the last update was in 2016 for 1.10, and the last version that the customizer works for is 1.8. The creator hasn't posted anything to their Twitter account since that update. There was a fan continuation that goes up through 1.12, but that's dead now too. A real shame, to me it struck the right balance between staying true to the original textures and making things more aesthetically pleasing. That and the sheer amount of customization options meant you could have an entirely unique texture pack that suited your personal tastes.

>>16712600

So what's the server then?

I'd just like an unmodded server where it's just survival like singleplayer except someone will come across your creations and you can visit theirs and conduct trade.

>>16712806

havent played one of these in a decade, but the "island" maps where you get nothing but a bucket of lava, a bucket of water, and a tree floating in a void were pretty fun since you have to build under the constraints are easy to understand and fun to play out. that's all i got really.

>>16712162

Looks pretty good even if a bit simplistic, wouldn't be able to do anything better myself though.

>>16712840

videogames.69.mu

Version: 1.12.2

Hosted by /vg/. I don't know if anyone is still playing though. We launched it last year

>>16713367

Real fucking ironic putting that pic with that post.

>>16713375

You're posting a monstergirl.

>>16713377

Yes? Thats literally in favor of my point

>>16713380

>MGs are girl in a hoodie tier.

Back it up retard. Try to back it up, how is clothing the same as having literal wings or a totally different lower body.

>>16713391

Thats literally only a "monstergirl" to be slapped into something. Its barely even an exception due to how little it fits.

monstergirl encyclopedia is shit anyway.

>>16712162

There are lanterns now., try using those

So I have actually started working on a new world, and immediately after digging a bit I started building. But obviously I didn't just settle for a small project like any normal fucking person would, no, instead I wanted a fucking mansion and started working on it almost immediately using the cobblestone I got for a foundation. Right now it's shaping itself to look like absolute dogshit because I cannot git gud at building but I'm going to finish it just because I started and am already getting ideas for rooms. It might not be a pretty mansion but it will be MY mansion.

>>16712563

I wonder if you'd get 5 fps running the game with all those shaders.

>>16712162

Those look good but there is much to learn to go truly autismo in house building.

>>16713529

If you dont mind mods, a small mod called "Flat Colored Blocks" lets you use dyes and either cobblestone, glass or glowstone to make blocks of any color that are either solid, transparent (glass) or emit light like glowstone. I dont mean any color as in "the 16 colors of dyes in minecraft" but as in, 50 different shades if using a single dye and mixing them just increases the options.

I think there is a config options also to change wether its a flat texture on the block or if it has a bit of noise to fit in with other minecraft blocks and make it look more natural.

My brand of autism is spending hours downloading and installing cool-looking mods, making sure the game functions with them all, fixing issues or deciding which ones to cull for the sake of having a functional game, then not even getting through a quarter of the content of the whole package before having my attention swept up by some other game.

>>16713993

>a small mod called "Flat Colored Blocks" lets you use dyes and either cobblestone, glass or glowstone to make blocks of any color that are either solid, transparent (glass) or emit light like glowstone.

You have to wonder why something basic like this isn't in the vanilla game by now. Terraria has had paint since 2013.

Old minecraft (as in 2009 - ~2012) used to get loads of autism out of /v/.

iirc minecraft was pretty much responsible for "autism" becoming such a huge go to insult/compliment on halfchan in the first place.

The game has always been a giant sperg magnet, the only thing that changed was the kind of spergs it attracted.

>>16712147

Looks like fun. Should double-plate the glass so water doesn't drip through.

>>16712147

Anon please give me guide. I have no creativity and all of my shelters are just world-generated buildings I conquered (pillager huts, villager houses).

>>16712600

I was in that server. Supreme comfyness, specially when building the farms and all that shit at the super-hill.

and fuck, it was funny with the mutt sperging out and DDoSing the server

It would be nice if we could set up a skyblock server of some kind. I wonder just how much we could progress before some fag throws the only bucket out of the island and triple backflips into the shadow realm.

>>16714181

5 minutes probably

>>16714181

Well assuming you could build a big enough of a platform before someone did you could make another one from iron dropped by zombies or bought one from a wandering trader with emeralds that you got from random illager patrols.

Or you could use a custom data pack to where every person initially spawns with a bucket in their inventory Terraria style.

>>16714191

Or just spawn a new one in because fuck giving the nigger who threw it off the satisfaction of making things hard for you.

>>16713790

I was getting 50-60

I'm building an adventure-esque server for me and my buddies on a porn discord. I redpilled myself on better building techniques and designs so each town has its own aesthetic. The port town has a standard medieval Europe look, the one in the valley has a Japanese look, the one in the desert gets an Arabian look, and the one in the mountains gets a viking/dwarven look.

And that's just the towns. Each town will have 2 Dungeons, one for grinding rewards (i.e. kill rats in basement for gold) and one dungeon for challenge (kill an army of military Zombies in an abandoned magic academy, kill the Summoner Zombie miniboss, and then the Zombie Warlord main boss that uses a huge hammer that knocks you around and makes you dizzy from the impact, and can throw torches at you if you're far away to set you on fire.)

It's a huge undertaking and I made the mistake of telling my buddies about it before it was ready so now they keep asking me when it's ready.

Also with the way villages work now, I plan on making an underwater village next time.

>>16715171

>>16714686

>>minecraft is relevant again

it always was. cuckchan and reddit hated it because "so cringehy z0mg mc is for kiddos we big boy gamers"

>>16710934

I have to say, I don't think there will quite be another game like Minecraft again. It's near-universal in its appeal and it's somehow even managed to beat Tetris in sales.

I haven't played Minecraft since 2011 but I've got just the biggest urge to play it now.

How has it changed since 1.0?

>>16714667

>especially that oceans are now really fun to explore.

Holy fuck, did they finally expand the oceans 7 years after Notch said they would?

>>16715458

From what I remember, digging down is a horrible idea. You could end up falling into a open pit of magma or simply just fall to your death by digging into a chasm. That's one thing to remember.

I last played the game in 2011, so anything else I say will probably be outdated.

>>16715505

The same as in terraria and I don't even know where to begin, which is what always stops me from doing so.

Is Minecraft in GOG?

>>16715342

1.13 ws the BIG OCEAN UPDATE. The things it included as far i remember are

>Use sprint to actually SWIM fast

>A few underwater biomes and plants, colorful coral reefs, sea pickles that shine underwater, seaweed that can be cooked to eat or used as smelter fuel, turtles and sea grass to feed them

>Ship wreckages: Ships that spawn underwater or in the coast merging with the terrain and contain treasure. Just making a bout and going around trying to find one is a good and fast way to get rare goodies

>More fish variety for fishing + now fish actually exist, phisically in the world.

>Treasure maps, usually found in ships. A map marking the X spot, go find it and dig until you find a treasure. Neat but kinda annoying.

>Dolphins.

Probably more but thats what i remember off the top of my head.

>>16715559

If only they will put as much effort into all the other biomes and underground now.

>>16715596

They're super cute

>>16710936

>Buy a plot of land

Thanks, asshole.

>>16715286

because there's always a pattern to how servers get started

>people want a server

>spend a day arguing over which version

>someone finally sets up a server

<oh well it should at least have some QOL mods, like chisel and a mini-map

>now it has mods

<oh well could you add this small magic mod?

>now it has magic

<oh well could you add industrialcraft?

>now it has industry

<oh and could you add mekanism?

>eventually it just has everything and the kitchen sink

<fucking shitty servers always have these bloated modpacks

>go back to step 1 and repeat

>>16715330

probably easily doable, but then you'd be slowing down the whole thing by adding a value check to inventories tied to the game clock and that doesn't account for unloaded chunks or multiplayer where you could have dozens of players with dozens of inventories to check

So the last time I played this game was in like 2014.

I still remember my account name and password, would those still work, or would I have to jump through hoops and pay money to play it again?

Because I really don't want to pay more than what I initially paid for it.

t. bought it when it was still like 5 yurobux

>>16715981

Try logging in on the website and see, but it should still be there. I think you NEED to log in to download it now too

I'm pretty terrible about only building dorf fort style rooms in mountains so I tried breaking that habit and building above ground for a change. I ended up making a ranch where I keep and breed horses for the rest of my friends. Found a zombie spawner too, so I'm making a dog kennel with a mini forest next to it that drops the zombies in from the roof so we can go through and hunt them. Pretty fun, would thoroughly recommend farm life.

>>16715981

I haven't played for years but they still let me in, as long as you have log in info you should be fine.

>>16716024

>>16716011

Okay cool, as long as I don't have to pay more money.

5 yuro dollars is all the game was ever worth.

Anybody still also play it on the Ps4?

I still do, waiting for a laptop tho

>>16716024

Farm life is jus cozy. The satisfaction of getting a huge influx of wheat or other foods, having sheeps dyed in every color, selling excess resources to villagers and buying lots of Lapiz or diamond pickaxes without ever going underground

>>16714887

What texture pack is that?

>>16714657

I don't like this faggy e-celeb but I gotta admit he did a good job with this mansion, maybe its design can give you some ideas.

Whats the appeal of skyblock? its just seems like pure autism to mine for hours just so you can have a ground to walk on

>>16716201

City Texture Pack.

Has anyone ever built a ching chong nip nong house in Minecraft? I have in Terraria but I've never built much of anything in Minecraft.

>>16713334

It's funny because creepers are supposedly kind of like a moss that spreads it's seed by exploding. When creepers explode they're literally suicidally jacking off onto you.

>>16716702

>It's funny because creepers are supposedly kind of like a moss that spreads it's seed by exploding.

I wish that was actually implemented in game. That creepers only spawned off of creeper moss that grows on dirt and stone and X number of blocks are converted within Y radius every time a creeper explodes.

>>16716112

I hear that, just did a massive journey with a few friends to find mooshrooms and just made it with minimum casualties. Satisfying.

Does anybody here play Minecraft on Switch?

I'm wondering what the performance is like, and if there's an option to change the FOV on the Switch version.

>>16715458

You can buy a mojang account for like $8 on ebay. It is advertized as a java edition account, takes a few hours to get a response with info.

>>16717188

Legitimately a shitty thing to do but if the kid was dumb enough to not save it as a map and then install it on multiple iPads for a better experience then he probably deserved it.

Eternal reminder that vanilla minecraft is absolute boring meaningless garbage and that without a shitload of block, mechanics, engineering and npc mods, the game is not enjoyable.

>>16717686

>he likes vanilla minecraft

I'm sorry for your shit taste

>>16717697

Sorry for your inability to even be able to taste shit, it's clear from your posts that you don't actually have the ability to think critically enough to be able to detect such things. Opinion discarded.

Na I'm fucking with you man I don't give a shit about Minecraft, but Rana is unironically a good waifu.

>>16717188

Did his model include the part where everyone on board was assassinated to ensure the Federal Reserve got instated?

What are some good Minecraft mods now that im getting back into it again? Vanilla is starting to get boring now and I wanna keep my interest going in this.

Bought a copy of Bedrock for 89 cents on one of those key reseller sites (Kinguin, I think) a while ago. I run it through a VM wanna play with an Xboxfag buddy of mine, but don't wanna actually run Windows 10 It's been pretty fun, they've added a ton of shit since I last really got into it. Some of the shit, like Phantoms, are quite annoying but horses and mules have been pretty neat.

>>16712981

I was going by memory. Can't really go over a certain level of complexity that way.

>>16717931

Depends, what are you looking for? Something resembling vanilla but with QoL stuff, new mechanics, TECHNOLOGY, MAGIC, difficulty, new dimentions, farm life, straight up new content that fits.

>>16718648

I was really thinking something like am industry kinda thing as I've seen people have all these pretty rad looking factories with pipes all over pulling things and doing cool stuff. Also on topic I guess what's an actual good texture pack? I tried a couple but they all seem to need optifine or are paid

>>16718769

The big names in technology/industry mods would be:

>Team Cofh mods/ Thermal series https://teamcofh.com/docs/

This one is actually a bunch of like 8 mods because its split into modules. Redstone Flux adds the RF mechanic to the code which is basically power. Core+World add some new enchants, commands and its own world gen. Foundation adds a bunch of new ores to said world gen as well as new metals that you dont mine, but you allow by combining others in machines or by hand IE Bronze by mixing copper and tin. Next one adds the actual machinery that runs off+produces RF and machinery upgrade system, next one adds the pipes that move items, liquids, RF and even players, next one adds some extra tools.

Just read on the docs on what they do, its ALL there You can get the gist of it.

>Immersive Engineering

This one is a more "down to earth technology" mod. Instead of pipes it has converyor belts to move items. Instead of pipes you move power through wires, said power being low/high voltage. Move liquids with pressurized pipes still, You get power by making a water wheel or a windmill instead of just feeding items into a machine. Its a very different feeling, rustic and immersive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFwvmU5sqTY

>Buildcraft

Actually i dont know shit about this one, but its popular as well. All i know is that you can make a quarry that phisically mines an area by drilling it block by block.

>Ender IO

I played with this on a modpack and i have absolutely no idea whats happening. Im probably just dumb and get easily overwhelmed if i dont find quick and easy to read documentation so just look it up yourself, just giving the name

Bonus mentions:

Tinker's Construct is a mod that goes well with ANY mod that adds new ores/metals, even if you have to look for addons that add compatibility with all of them. It adds a new method to make tools (pickaxes, swords, bows, axe) as well as adding new tools (Hammer, broadsword, rapier, shurikens) by using a wide variety of materials. For example, usually to make a pickaxe you just do 2 sticks 3 stone or iron. TiC has you make parts individually (tool rod, binding, pickaxe head) from different materials, and each material has different effects on it stats as well as adding efffects. Tool rod made out of bone, binding made out of wood, head made out of flint. Later on you will have to make a smeltery to smelt metals into the proper shape in molds.

RF Aresnal: Adds weapons and armor that you can charge with RF. For the Team Cofh mods

RFtools: Adds a lot of blocks and machines that run off RF. Elevators that actually move the blocks, force fields, etc. For the Team Cofh mods

Iron Chests: Lets you make chests of copper/iron/gold/diamond that still ocupy only one block of space but have a LOT more room for storage

Storage Drawers: Simple but clean. Make drawers out of chests, wood and sometimes sticks. These drawers can only contain 1/2/4 items depending on which type you make, but they can hold a HUGE amount of stacks in them. This is real good if you want to store a huge amount of certain item but you dont want to clog up chests with that shit. Single slot drawer can hold 64 stacks, aka 4096 cobblestone/dirt/sand/glass. AND they can be upgraded, biggest upgrade being x16 times so thats 65536 of any item in only one block. No more fiddling with goddamn eggs filling chests because they only stack up to 16. They also display whats inside on the front so you dont need to open things to see whats inside either. In fact you dont even open drawers, 1 click takes out 1 item, shift click takes out a stack, right click puts in whats on your hand and double right click puts everything in your inventory that fits in/matches the drawer.

>>16718724

People only play 2 versions. 1.12.2 where ALL the mods are. 1.14.3 vanilla with shaders, newest one so there are barely any mods for it and mod loaders are still a work in progress

>>16718977

>store mod

Completely unneeded. Factions I can see the argument for, but you can set up farms for everything in the game.

If anything I'd understand people who want chisel because muh building options, but there's no reason to dumb the game down even more than it already is.

>>16715591

It's probably in the works. Taiga got a minor update, adding foxes and berry bushes (the big thing was completely reworking villages and villagers). There's definitely upcoming small updates for savanna and desert, in the same vein as the taiga. But the next big update will probably have a big impact like the last two; we just don't know what it is yet, except that they've said it's not going to be caves. There will be some combat changes. Eventually I expect them to overhaul the nether and end with new mobs and blocks, though.

Foxes are the best mob in the game. Not only will tamed ones attack hostile mobs that attack you, but they can also hold items in their mouth and actually use them. So if you suddenly get mobbed by zombies or whatever, drop one of your foxes a diamond sword and he'll start WRECKING THEIR SHIT.

>>16715773

There is already a "local difficulty" that makes more and tougher mobs spawn in chunks that you visit more frequently. It might be possible to do this, but it would be easier to simplify it to just certain blocks instead of EVERY block. How does one determine which types of stone bricks are more valuable, anyway? Just base it off of stored ore resources; if you have a stack of diamonds sitting in a chest, you're asking for trouble.

>>16718996

When he says "store mods", I'm pretty sure he means mods that add the ability for players to make their own store. Not everyone wants to make an autistic farm for every little thing, but they'd probably be willing to trade what they made from their farms for something someone else made from a different farm. Being able to set up a shop is a necessary convenience if you want trade to happen more often than just a few occasional instances.

>>16719409

>>16712147

I did something similar to that once, some years back. It was also in Survival. My dome was probably smaller than yours, but if I recall correctly, it was a round cylinder, possibly topped by a half-sphere.

I got the water out of the inside with sponges. I built dirt scaffolding at various levels to support the sponges and place them at intervals of a few blocks from each other, to soak up water most efficiently.

When I had the water out of the dome (which still took a very long time), I built an entire custom village in there, or at least one giant villager building (again, can't remember exactly). I bussed villagers down there with a minecart, after getting them by curing zombie villagers.

Unfortunately, I don't think the villagers were able to breed, despite the arrangement of doors in the village being correct for it to be counted as a large village. I guess the water above the dome was blocking direct sunlight onto the village, according to the game's rules.

>>16716685

Goddamn, I'm addicted to japanese Minecraft videos now.

>>16719657

Its great to see people using things in a creative way. Like making mirrors with banners and drawers by placing items in the item frame and covering parts with banners or signs. Trap door ceilings, etc

>>16718841

>already planning on a rail system to another biome as it's about a day and a half trip just to retrieve some wool

Rails aren't that worth it in vanilla Minecraft, at least not since horses were added. I've played online and gone full autismo building a rail network just for me to get out-runned by my friend who's got an aryan breed of horse.

The wings are actually pretty nice, and iceblock paths are really fast, but railways are just too much work and too slow for them to be a good investment. Their only advantage is that you can get in the minecart and it will automatically get you where you need to go, although that's only guaranteed if you have your rails well illuminated and above ground, since there's always the possibility that some faggot cow will get in the middle and instead of sending it to the shadow realm like in real life, the minecart bounces and you get sent back where you came from.

>>16719972

those blocks are so fucking garish, how did they fuck up decorative blocks so badly?

>>16720104

It's a shame that minecarts were made obselete by everything else, I miss when servers could have giant underground railways with cart boosters, which actually makes me wonder how the fuck you could travel so fast with cart boosters when using boats or horses can disconnect you or rubberband you after barely traveling from one chunk to another

i don't know about you, but about 6 months ago i got my first smart tv to come with internet channels and it comes with a minecraft channel out-of-the-box. it also has an anime channel that has played yu-gi-oh reruns 90% of the time since i got the tv.

it means that everyone who bought a tv in the last year gets the minecraft channel for free just by connecting to their wifi. my tv's a samsung so it's not like this is some niche feature. from the little i watched it's basically an endless stream of minecraft lets play videos, presumably with ads in between.

Yeah they're really niche but in very specific situations and usualy in sparing amounts they are just what the doctor ordered.

Most servers with a PvP focus make it a flat layer since bedrock generation is actually the same across all worlds regardless of seed, so if you get a screenshot of a few bedrock blocks showing you can let a program generate a bedrock layer and scan it for the pattern you have, giving you coordinates.

>>16721593

>actual reinforcement mechanics

That's something I must have complained should be implemented like 2 years ago, I'm amazed there was a faction server that actually had it.

>>16721677

Most of the civ series servers have it.

It's an interesting mechanic for sure.

>>16721631

I think 2b2t started it. So yeah.

>>16714657

Okay Anon!

1.Yes. I think stone bricks would be a good choice. Good color contrast to break up the monotony a bit, plus it will protect from lightning strikes.

2.Definitely change the floor to anything so it isn't the same as the walls (or vice versa). I made a mansion once, and I used red wool floors for a luxurious look, but it might be hard to do that in survival without breeding lots of sheep.

3.Go for it, it sounds like a cool idea. Maybe it would look like a little birdhouse with a porch. A honeymoon suite of sorts. Could be cool.

4.Some tips, take them or leave them. For a fancy railing/banister, you can put glass panels along the edge of any catwalk.

Really bizarre one, but if you make a floor out of crafting tables, it actually kinda looks like a fancy ballroom.

Frame your walls with a darker shade of wood and it will add more depth.

You can remove a patch of the ceiling on the bottom floor to make the upper rooms a little more interesting and give a greater sense of scale (add some railings, obviously). This would look especially nice in the foyer.

>>16721874

You can use dye on sheeps to change their wool color, and it grows back relatively fast so you dont need that many sheeps as much as you need patience. You could also just make carpets to cover ther floor with

>>16719369

You can just use nametagged skeletons or pillagers for turrets. Although, a friendly mob with ranged attacks would be pretty legit to have, so they don't also shoot you.

Anything, I don't think foxes can use a bow because they don't have an inventory, just their mouth (which functions just like the player's off-hand). Even if they could use the bow, they could not hold the arrows, and even an infinity bow requires at least one arrow in your inventory to function.

But it's not just weapons; any item that has an "effect" when held or used will also affect them. If a fox is slain while holding a totem of undying, it will resurrect. If a fox has a food item in its mouth, it will eventually eat it and then take the effect. If they eat a suspicious stew they will be get the effect, whether speed or poison or whatnot. If they eat a chorus fruit, THEY WILL FUCKING TELEPORT.

>>16719409

You don't need a mod for a store. Just put shit in a chest with a note saying how much it costs and let people take it and leave the correct amount of diamonds. If they're going to steal shit, then there is literally nothing that can be done to prevent it with commands or mods or anything because they will find a way around them. Just don't let untrustworthy people on your fucking server; it's simple.

>>16720104

It's funny. When 1.14 first dropped, performance with chunk loading was so fucking atrocious that flying by elytra was basically impossible because you'd rapidly reach (visually) unloaded areas and then crash into something and die. For a short time until it was patched, the minecart was once again the fastest reliable method of travel in the game.

But horses are only good if you're on perfectly flat and empty land. They're bad with hills, get stuck in narrow gaps, and can't cross even tiny rivers. Because of how varied Minecraft terrain is, any reasonably large distance you're much better of simply fucking walking it, because you'll waste so much time getting the horse stuck.

>>16722055

Cartographer villagers sell you maps to find the nearest one. Woodland mansions usually are literally thousands of blocks away, while ocean temples are everywhere and piss-easy to find if you just go out onto the ocean at night and look for lights underwater.

Thanks Anon, this is really helpful for me.

>>16722323

Except that it helps you navigate around the world in ways either not otherwise possible in-game or ways that make some items useless.

>>16722342

Only because the way ingame maps work is retarded, or that they require redstone.

Let me make maps ONLY using paper and make it centered around me, not some weird ass giga chunk grid, and also let map keep explored space after expanding them. Otherwise maps are 100% useless beyond decoration

>>16719603

>I guess the water above the dome was blocking direct sunlight onto the village, according to the game's rules.

It definitely does, there's only a single layer of water on the highest point of my dome and there are bats everywhere so the game clearly counts it as underground.

>If they're going to steal shit, then there is literally nothing that can be done to prevent it with commands or mods or anything because they will find a way around them.

You assume every nigger who's willing to steal also has the patience and dedication to circumvent every possible protection. It's like computer security. If someone is dedicated and skilled enough, they can break into anything, but you put up barriers, anyway, because most people don't have those qualities.

You're also assuming everyone is either a perfect angel of honesty or dirty good-for-nothing criminal. People who are generally good, honest folk can have moments of weakness and take something if an easy opportunity arises. Your good neighbor bigdickjohn98 might normally be a swell dude, but he might still decide, when no one is looking, to swipe a few things out of your shop chest that he doesn't think you'll notice are gone.

>>16722342

I would agree with you if not for terrain being so uninteresting.

When terrain was 'fixed' back when Notch was still actively developing, it removed interesting landmarks that were random enough that you could always tell where you were in relation to your base, but too many people bitched about floating blocks.

>>16710934

I've been enjoying the Roguelike Adventures and Dungeons modpack. Pretty comfy honestly and because I'm lazy as fuck and can't be assed to make my own modpack right now.

>>16723135

Does it have one of those progression quest books guiding you through what mods and stuff the pack has? Or does it throw you blind to figure out whats in it

Modded server host, if you're in this thread, could you shut down and restart the server at some point? I accidentally dropped 490000 wood planks on the ground all at once, so I'm getting around 0.05 FPS.

>>16723638

Anon, what the fuck were you doing that you needed nearly half a million wood planks in one spot?

>>16723638

How can you even have that many planks?

>>16724042

Only thing I could imagine is break 71 full double chests of logs, set up an autoclicker to craft them into planks and drop them into a hopper, except forget your storage is full so it all just bundles up while you go AFK.

Still, since it's on a server it should despawn after 5 minutes anyway, even if he has 0 FPS. I think.

>>16724110

It's a modded server so maybe something like storage drawers with upgrades exploded. That shit can hold like 512*64 or better.

>>16723638

You better have screenshot that, if that was even functional.

>>16724195

That'd do it as well, yeah. I thought the 8/v/ serb only had a maid mod and chisel or something, last time I saw it mentioned.

>>16711078

I have heard that the terrain generation got changed to be more boring in beta 1.8, and even more so in release 1.7/1.8/1.9 as some of the quirkiness had been restored before then.

All the memories…

>imagine how windows 10 looks under the hood

It's as disgusting as you imagine. Anon leaks by disgruntled employees have revealed that the reason the (((modern))) start menu is so slow is that it's all coded in xml and depends on more than two ancient code bits that everybody forgot what they are for, yet it's necessary to copy paste them into every project, moving icons and entries of something from like two places and writing them in other two places (and/or more…), and even an ide just for all that. Also remember that satya nadella fired all the qa team of microsoft back in 2015.

I broke a storage draw that had 7 tier 7 upgrades in it. it had over 7000 stacks of planks in it, and I had intended to replace it with a black hole unit, which can hold over 2 billion planks, forgetting that drawers don't hold their inventory when broken.

no screenshot, partly because I'm an idiot, and party because I don't think the game would even allow me to.

I don't commonly use coordinates to navigate; I use it for construction. Knowing exact coordinates is essential for accuracy of large builds, for syncing up nether portals, etc..

However, maps are extremely infeasible over large distances. Normally it's not required to travel more than a few thousand blocks, but on a long-running server sometimes updates to terrain generation means you need to generate brand new chunks to get the new stuff. On a server I play on, first made in 1.12, we've have to venture farther and farther outward to get the ocean stuff, and now the 1.14 stuff. I had to go a distance that would have been something like six largest maps from spawn to find foxes, and the best way to get them back was to find the closest taiga that was along the same x-coordinate as an existing nether rail line running in that direction, to minimize the new rails I had to lay and digging through the nether that was required. I wasn't about to waste literally hours of time by guessing where the fuck that rail line was and then be off by five thousand goddamn blocks.

If you never use coordinates, you're only doing small shit in the game. So don't you pretend as if your horse is high enough to claim what I do is "cheating".

>>16722626

Good computer encryption is "would take the NSA supercomputers a thousand years to brute-force" level, so you're plainly wrong. You should still vet your players; it's not fucking difficult. There are servers with upwards of a dozen players and nobody ever steals or griefs in bad faith. It's called trust and basic integrity. If your friends don't have that, get better friends.

And worst comes to worst, if someone's stealing tiny amounts of shit that you were selling for five diamonds, suck it up like a big boy. You should have hundreds of diamonds anyway; shops are there for fun, not because you NEED them.

>>16722077

>You can just use nametagged skeletons or pillagers for turrets

>>16727428

I just tried it and it doesn't seem like foxes are attacking anything at all for me right now. 1.14.4 may have broken them or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

An update on my exploits, I crashed the modded server by trying to craft something.

I always used to build light towers out of cobblestone (built straight up, then built a staircase around it to the top, covering it with torches). Aside from that, I just enjoyed messing with other people in Minecraft.

>we are exactly 2 months away from Minecon

I wonder what they'll reveal this time? We know that the savannah will get updated but what else?

I just started a game in 1.14 and I feel there is a million fucking monsters, like way beyond anything before. The only cool thing is that my random seed started on a small peninsula that had horses, cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. Just a ways into the water I found two small structures with a chest with shit loot and a shipwreck with more shit loot. I've walled off my peninsula, started breeding the animals and got a nice wheat and sugar cane farm going.. still feel kinda bored going inland everything turns to desert quick.

>>16736069

They're changing combat again, there's already a snapshot about it. Also, supposedly more performance updates including a new rendering engine supposedly, called Blaze3D, and adding functionality to the two useless blocks added this time (fletching and smithing tables).

Add the savannah biome update to that and it's probably already more than Mojang can deliver. If they were to add more, they should just finish the modding API already. They showcased customizable mobs last time, thy're going to need that shit if Hytale turns out to not be vaporware.

>>16736069

theyll bring a silver platter and reveal the turd underneath it, like every minecon since 2015.

>>16737933

Seriously how hard would be to add A and D. They clearly would be based on existing mob models and AI? How are they this fucking lazy?

you forget how long it took them to add basic ass shit like colored wood, different doors for different woods. A campfire, in a game with a survival mode where the first thing you do is collect wood and rocks to cook food.

>>16737941

They were lazy enough to come up with four mob prototypes, decide to implement only one, then try to spin it as something beneficial to fans by putting which one to a vote.

>>16737950

They had the excuse back in the day of block IDs and data values. They don't have that excuse anymore.

>>16737957

It's funny how they've actually reduced the amount of excuses they have with their updates. Sometimes, it feels like they actually want to try and improve Minecraft. Then other times it feels like they just want to do the bare minimum to stay employed.

>>16737957

there was nothing wrong with block IDs and using metadata, it just wasn't used to it's potential as well as other things like colored blocks

>leaf blocks are colored based on biome

>grass is the same

>sheep metadata sets their wool color, which there are gl methods for setting the color of their main 'wool' model

>but there's 16 wool textures because they didn't use the same method of coloring leaves and grass for wool color

<would have saved 15 texture slots

>the same method could have been applied to wood planks, because only the color changes not the actual texture

<would save 3 texture slots

>same for gold and diamond blocks

<would save 1 texture slot

>same for gold/iron/coal/diamond/redstone ore

<would require texture layering but would save 4 slots

>powered/unpowered rails

<1 slot

>repeater on/off

<1 slot

>torch and lever

<1 slot

>redstone lamp on/off

<1 slot

just by being clever they could have saved 27 texture slots and probably even optimized further with texture submaps I forget the actual term where a slot is broken into smaller segments with textures to be repeated on a larger face, good for textures where there's not much variation

then item drops could have been optimized by using a single hashmap but instead it's been hardcoded into blocks what they'll drop, making it more of a pain in the ass to change the base game

and too many blocks of similar type have their own ID rather than being lumped together with a metadata value, it's just sloppily put together but it's an efficient system if used right

>>16737957

Some guy was experimenting with dyed wood, but when he posted it on twitter everyone agreed it looked like shit so he made hardened clay instead.

>>16738179

They could optimize a lot like that, but then you couldn't properly change those things using texturepacks. Want to change redstone to be blue? Too bad you need to mod the code. Want to change gold blocks? Too bad diamond looks different now too.

Of course, if they made a fucking modding API and created every graphic element using that, you could just do whatever you wanted while they could still optimize like that, but they're lazy faggots.

>then item drops could have been optimized by using a single hashmap but instead it's been hardcoded into blocks what they'll drop

Actually, that's all done using .json files nowadays, you can make a resource pack that drops diamond blocks whenever you mine dirt and shit.

>>16736101

If 1.15 is nothing more than yet another combat update that LITERALLY NOBODY FUCKING WANTS and a few minor changes like adding some random shit to savannas, I'm going to be super salty. The last few updates have been amazing (albeit each making the game perform worse and worse on servers…) and so this would be a huge step backwards.

>>16738419

Why on Earth would you need dyed wood when you have terracotta and wool and concrete already in every color of the rainbow?? Hell, even shulker boxes come in every possible color, should you happen to have a lot of them lying around.

>>16738711

>If 1.15 is nothing more than yet another combat update that LITERALLY NOBODY FUCKING WANTS

Maybe you live under a rock but said previous combat update has been whined about for ages, this one is wanted by the majority because the last one was considered garbage and they refuse to scrap it.

The screenshot doesn't make it seem like a work sink anyway, if the update is small its probably the performance stuff that does it.Nothing is stopping Savannahs from getting a lot of bells and whistles in the first place

>Why on Earth would you need dyed wood when you have terracotta and wool and concrete

Because its a unique texture? Wood is a nice texture to look at so why not have more versions of it; it might be niche but why shouldn't they exist?

You don't need dyed anything, but its nice to have. Any decorative blocks are a commodity.

Ahh…Minecraft..brings back memories of autism.

I used to play on the HLP server. Started with a small house near spawn, then stated expanding, creating a small castle. Than run into space problem since everyoen was near spawn and I kept having border dispites with my neighbors.

So I moved to the butfuckend of nowhere and made an entire kingdom, and build a massive main wall (and a thinner outer wall that spanned a good chuck of the known world)

Even found a video of the server. Starts with my kingdom.

>>16720838

>For a bit

He's playing it as a series…

Not even ironically now.

At least it took over fortnite. But the people who are playing it now are either kids who never played it before or nostalgiafags coming back to it to see what's new.

The latter will stop playing eventually, leaving Minecraft to once again be Fortnite cancer territory which is a shame because Minecraft was once fun

>>16738716

>New combat update only allows you to attack when the attack meter is full

>AOE on swords supposedly still a thing.

while they're at it… Why not add extra weapon types like knives (does less damage but attacks faster) or spears (tridents are already a thing but a spear could reach further and not be thrown).

The shield is very OP when used right, why is there no cooldown on that?

You can only do so much to improve the combat in Minecraft, there'll always be a way to cheese the system no matter how advanced a mob is.

They've opened a can of worms changing how combat works.

>>16738850

I hate the le epic pvp fags that kept bitching until they got their combat change.

Wanting "realistic" combat with cube models is fucking dumb and I hate everything about it.

>>16738850

Their main goal was literally "make spamming attack not feel bad", "make weapons feel different" and "make it not slow", which was what everyone disliked.

They fixed most of that and added a few cute things.

>AOE on swords supposedly still a thing.

Its an enchantment now, its logical as an enchantment but dumb as a natural thing.

>Why not add extra weapon types

Who's to say they aren't, they added range and speed; its logical to add some things to show it off.

>You can only do so much to improve the combat in Minecraft

Yes but its poor in its current state, aiming for perfection is foolish; making it somewhat enjoyable is not.

>>16738876

PvPfags are an interesting bunch, how the fuck do you derive massive value from minecraft combat?

Old or new i have no idea what the fuck they are thinking.

>>16738850

>Why not add extra weapon types like knives (does less damage but attacks faster) or spears (tridents are already a thing but a spear could reach further and not be thrown)

They very well might be planning that, the snapshot has weapon reach implemented with swords having a larger reach I think. Sounds perfect for implementing long reaching spears/pikes and short reaching knives.

Though the only reason I'd like instead of calling you a faggot that is to get tribal nigger skins with my spear and go mob people with friends yelling ooga booga

>>16738838

>>16737941

>A and D

C looks by far the easiest to implement. It's a pig with a short body and a long head. The other two would require a lot more difficult to animate.

Why the fuck have they not implemented Java combat to Bedrock yet?

Also, fuck how unbalanced the monsters are. I get wither skeletons for example, that's fine, they're needed for an endgame thing. But Aquatic Zombies do four or more times the damage of regular zombies while also being far more versatile in their movement (equivalent speed on land but much faster in the water). Those, and Phantoms as well, make armor essentially a necessity, at which point the original four enemies are barely able to kill you if you stand still for ten minutes.

>>16738883

pvpfags are to minecraft what comp players are to tf2, they screech like autists to get shit changed that nobody else asked for or wants, but developers cater to them because they're the loudest demographic even if they're the smallest

the squeaky wheel is the one to get oiled as they say

>>16739168

The amounts are fucking ridiculous. I once was trying to lead a horse and a donkey across a river to bring back home, and had only one lead on me. It was night and raining, and I got attacked by, no fucking joke, 30 water zombies in the process. Didn't help that immediately after, there was a good dozen desert zombies too. I have half a fucking barrel worth of rotten flesh at this point (mostly because snow villages are so damn far and those seem the only ones that consistently trade rotten flesh)

>>16739188

Village types and villager skins have no bearing on the trades a villager has. You're just not giving your villagers the right job.

>>16739350

it is popular because ecelebs dont make it out as the cringy bad worst game of all time anymore which led to normalfags trying it out and finding it is not a bad game, which in turn spread and made it popular with the cattle again.

>>16739350

Its a mystery.

>>16739869

I mean minecraft never actually dying might be another one of the things helping it, but its not just a lack of insults that spiked the userbase.

>>16712806

This tbh

The game just doesn't feel like a game. When I first started playing I would actually build stuff and do whatever it takes. Nowadays I can't even finish a simple house because I get bored of it. There is no point.

Seeing this game just makes me want to die

>>16738716

>said previous combat update has been whined about for ages

Yeah, and 99.99% of people doing the whining wanted it reverted back to the old combat because "they changed it so it sucks". I guarantee, I FUCKING guarantee, nobody is going to like the new combat changes, either. The people complaining before will still want old combat, and the people who are playing now will want it reverted back to the way it is now.

>>16739886

>>16739960

The popularity bump came WAY before he started playing. In fact, it corresponded roughly with when the aquatic update dropped (about a year ago), because it was a huge change for the way the game looks and is played, especially in the beginning game. You can choose to not go mining, and instead raid shipwrecks and underwater ruins for diamonds and gold and shit. Plus it was something people have been asking for since forever, seeing how oceans used to be nothing but gravel and sometimes squid. More to the point, because it was a change to terrain generation, you have to make a new world if you want your spawn areas to be like that. People who had been uninterested in playing because they had mature worlds with everything they needed suddenly found themselves (possibly for the first time in years) starting the game over from scratch.

Another way to look at it: PDP is a businessman. He has made his millions FOLLOWING trends, not creating them. It would be enormously stupid for him to choose to start playing a game that's not popular; but it makes perfect sense for him to jump on a bandwagon that's just starting to roll. The fact that the timing was close enough for some people (like you) to think he DID create the current trend is part of his strategy of duping dumb kids into thinking he's more influential than he really is.

>>16740019

> instead the furnace cart was fucking useless

Like everything in minecraft with the exception of the basic tools. Not only are the available contraption blocks sparse, they're worth nothing because they're either useless or take too much effort to build. Tracks and minecarts should have been fun, but they fucked it all up.

Pretty much everything beyond the original idea (which was stolen) in Minecraft sucks. It's one of the biggest fuck ups in the history of vidya.

>>16740255

It had to do with how I was setting meta data, I think I added an internal value to the block's class which was being overwritten in strange ways every time a new block was placed.

It was eventually fixed but took a lot of reworking on which color's hex value was assigned to what meta and rendering, meta in general is confusing to deal with and I still never figured out containers

I frequently get board of Mineycrafta. The game is on par with addictive modern games in the break block -> reward loop, but otherwise it's not much fun.

>>16740480

Which is the bot, and proof?

Thank you for bullying Jewglefags, Aaron.

Is there a reason why you won't play Dragon Quest Builders?

>>16740630

I have a reason

Its not on PC. No, i don't want to support soyny censorstation 4 and i dont have a switch.

Minecraft's magic wore off after about a year after i discovered it. It boils down to making quick wood tools to mine stone, get stone tools, make a house in a cave and mine ad nauseum. Going to The End isn't entertaining and the Nether is wasted potential.

>but autism mods

Eh.

>>16740679

It's less about that and more about what you make of it. Right now, I'm making a small port town in a set of islands, which as required me to do terraforming, and I'll need to build many more ships. I plan on populating said ships with villagers of fitting jobs. Then building taverns and so on. Redstone in particular lets you do a shit ton of things. Despite the name Minecraft, the point was and always will be to build, not mine or craft. Though I suppose you mine and craft in order to build stuff.

It's a good game. I'm utterly lost at this thread because DQB is exactly what you want.

>>16740823

Im still waiting for DQB 2 to be ported to pc

>>16740850

Won't happen. Buy a PS4 cheap.

I don't understand what people hated about 1.9? I think it significantly improved combat beyond just "click super fast and win." Minecraft is a game that thrives off of simplicity, but I really think the old combat wasn't simple, it was just unfun because it was whoever has the best gear wins and your only choices now are fight if you have the advantage or run away if they have stronger gear. At least now there's a cooldown and you can defend yourself with a shield.

>>16740862

>your only choices now are

Correction: I meant to type "your only choices then were"

>>16740876

Play Dragon Quest Builders. I'm not even a shill, if you can believe that.

>>16740876

>Now fighting baby zombies is harder than it should be due to the stupid cooldown.

That's intentional. Just use a shield dumbass.

>>16740679

Minecraft lets you build lots of shit even without redstone but I think Terraria really nailed having shit to do in your sandbox game besides build autism forts

Stop being a retard and trying to sour people against DQ Builders by spamming it over and over.

>>16740893

And it gives you better movement and building options too.

>>16740900

I've already played it and I love it. But this is a Minecraft thread so stop being a fucktard and trying to derail it.

>>16740907

Kill yourself, jew.

>anon enters Mario thread

<LOL YOU FUCKING LOSERS, YOU'RE STILL PLAYING MARIO? HAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAA FUCKING FAGGOTS. GO PLAY SONIC INSTEAD YOU IDIOTS.

The games are incomparable, unless you think Splatoon is comparable to Resident Evil 4 too. All of the things I've done in Minecraft and plan to do in Minecraft on this latest world, I couldn't do any of it in Dragon Quest Builders. Hell, DQB is closer to Terraria than anything, a game I didn't find particularly enjoyable.

>>16740915

I'm sorry, what does Mario have to do with this? You made a big spectacle of that, but I don't quite understand what your point is.

>>16740920

My point is that Dragon Quest Builders and Minecraft are similar in only the most shallow of comparisons and for you to equate them is the same as someone equating Mario and Sonic, or Splatoon and Resident Evil 4. I wanna build cool big shit and wire redstone to it to make it fancy and neat. I don't want to deal with annoying NPCs and some "story". The NPCs and requirements to build them shelters is why I said DQB is closer to Terraria than Minecraft.

>>16740930

Except DQB is a world full of 'voxels'. There is literally no difference.

>>16737916

The first one is basically the Mesmer from Subnautica.

What is an alternative to Minecraft though? I was having fun in Hardcore but after dying while building some pretty neat shit I found myself demotivated to go back at it.

>>16741009

There really is no direct alternative to Minecraft. The only two "clones" that are worthwhile that I know of is Terraria and DQ Builders. Both of which are great games in their own right but they aren't really the same as Minecraft in several ways.

Other MC clones are either just wholesale ripoffs or are just nostalgia clones of MC classic or something like that.

What exactly are you looking for?

>>16741009

Vintage Story may be worth checking out. It's more of an alternative to TerraFirmaCraft though. It's also still in early development.

>Vintage Story

Is it any good?
