LinkOlaran Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Just started up Minecraft for the hell of it with a grass mod installed (plus Better Grass as well), and started wandering on peaceful. I have found the most epic mountain I've ever seen, including when I was using BiomeTerrain mod: *grumbles at imageshack taking 3 tries to upload* Seriously, I have no idea even where to begin building here... First things first, I must climb it. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 There was an update today. Gift codes are now working, but according to Notch's dec 11th blog update, there was supposed to be another bit of content added before the game went to beta. Anyone know what's going on there? EDIT: oh, and Link? I couldn't resist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptical Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 ^ Lol. I've so far gotten 3 different people addicted to it: this game is like a highly contagious disease, or possibly crack. Pick your simile. Does anyone have any strategies about the best way to get iron? So far, I've basically just been strip mining at 20 or more blocks below sea level, but I think that I may waste more iron on picks that I recover from the extraction operation. Next up: a huge library built in multiple massive trees on an island floating in the sky, with a glass skybridge from it to my main fortress.

Kimberly Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I might be inefficient for it, but I just create a [bleep]-ton of stone pickaxes and mine the [cabbage] out of everything I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I don't use iron picks for anything other than getting my first few diamonds, redstone and gold. Other than that it's all stone or diamond. [bleep] the law, they can eat my dick that's word to Pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tunnel really far down, then work my way sideways, going up a step every so often. I've got 2 stacks of 64 in about 3 hours doing that, but i'm sure there are better ways.

Giordano Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Yeah I get most of my iron from big cavern complexes. Its important to locate and settle on top of one.

Skull Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I really want to start a smp server with maybe like 10 other people... I think I might commander my sisters old laptop and use it to set one up. We'll see though, I need to understand it a bit more before that. If I do I'll open it up to anyone on TIF.

Kimberly Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 You know what? [bleep] spiders. They're faster than you. They have a slightly higher jumpheight than you. The area you strike with the sword doesn't always register as you think it should (to see this better in action, attack a chicken). They're essentially TANKS, taking 4 hits to kill with a stone sword. Oh, and did I mention? THEY'RE [bleep]ING SPIDERS. WITH THE BEADY RED EYES AND THE FURRY BODIES. They. Freak. Me. The. [bleep]. Out. They're also the most (only?) commonly spawned monster in dungeon mob spawners. And I have 4 dungeons I've marked for clearing out in my mine. All filled with spiders. ALL MY HATE, NOTCH. ALL MY HATE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzle229 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I know what you mean. These things are terrors in-game and IRL. No loving god would allow these things to exist, and in such variety of horror. Get back here so I can rub your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 We've run across a problem: I don't have a premium account :lol: Damn my inability to have a PayPal account.

Skull Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Haha, I'll ask my friends if any of them have paypal accounts. I'm pretty sure one of my friends does.

LinkOlaran Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Thankfully, I'm not arachnaphobic in any way :P And Kim? Be glad those aren't Painterly Pack style spiders. Those ones come close to creeping me out for some reason >_> oh, and the fact they don't have skeleton riders is also a plus. Betting those would give you even more fits, they always do for me since I suck at dodging arrows. Seriously though, spiders and skeletons are the only things that give me issues when it comes to dodging - spiders are just too unpredictable for me, and skeletons... if I don't have a bow I'm boned, pretty much. Oh, and to Kim and Dizzle, you both could go SeaNanners' route and use a block of TNT to clear out the dungeon. >_> Can't confirm if it'll destroy any items from the chests, though. Also, thinking about redownloading the grappling hook at least so I can navigate this monster of a mountain without falling to my doom repeatedly, since I know I will since I'm the clumsiest person alive. Oh, and you know something? It isn't the only mountain like it around here. There are more of them behind this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 It isn't the only mountain like it around here. There are more of them behind this one.

LinkOlaran Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I can imagine me recording it with fraps or something and trying to upload it working real well with dialup >_> If I had highspeed, I'd be tempted to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreocookie987 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'd be down for a TIF SMP server, as long as I get to build my cannon on top of a mountain.

Peregrine Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 You know what? [bleep] spiders.Oh, and did I mention? THEY'RE [bleep]ING SPIDERS. WITH THE BEADY RED EYES AND THE FURRY BODIES. You know what's really bad? When you build a desert home, and they start running across the one-wide entrance to your base that you made. They can't fall down, yet their bodies frantically push against each others as they try to drop in beside your unexpecting, tasty body. UGH. You're not the only one who hates spiders. Coincidentally, I have a spider spawner right next to my mineshaft. Every freakin' time I go down there they start shrieking at me. UUUUUGHHH. (I do, on the otherhand, have ~900 string because of that.) One-Clicking the Summer Garden[AOW] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexaduro Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Wow. I really do have an underground ocean. If Link spawned a hollow-mountain biome, I think I spawned a copius-caves biome.

The Runar Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I found a lava lake deep underground and some diamonds (!) behind it. I made myself a diamond sword and went to adventure a bit. After about two (in-game) days, I fell into a cave, in which a zombie killed me. Luckily I still have three diamonds left... I'm going back to that cave and I'll kill every single moving thing and reclaim my sword. :twisted: (and so Notch claims yet another victim...)
