Behold....THE SQUID!

 

 

Sorry its dark, was in the undernet. (wasteland under my underground city)

Got roughly 132 stone from one stone pickaxe, it's doubled in strength, if this is the case.

Yes, in that case it has.

So, a 2nd update came out, mostly bug fixes, and it says something about chunk invisibility errors.

 

Does anybody know what he means by that? I've run into a lot of problems on MP server that I would describe as a chunk of the map being invisible (like a large rectangle of the map disappearing and being able to see all the way past bedrock to just blueness), or where the shadows cast by some objects seem to be ridiculously dark. I hope he's referring to the former, because that is really annoying. Has anybody else actually seen this happen? it's really weird. I'd check to see if it's still happening on the MP server I play on, but I'm at work atm. ._<

Anyone who is interested in an update list:

"No more ghosts at night"

 

What does this mean? :???:

The sole thing I can think of that the ghost comment refers to is the glitch I heard about people playing on peaceful and seeing aggressive mobs spawn and appear for a split second before disappearing - I read at least one post on the Minecraft forums about it, if I recall.

 

Other than that, I have zero clue whatsoever >_>

 

 

EDIT: And it's about time he fixed the little messages that pop up at the title menu so it doesn't always display "Finally Beta!". Now if only he could fix the control scheme refusing to save and reverting to wasd every time I shut Minecraft off, I'd be happy - I know it doesn't just happen to me, my friend gets it as well, and it annoys her to no end >.>

Can squids spawn in flowing water or water columns?

I want my mine tracks fixed. It's making it hard to design a railway :<

Erm, I thought the Beta 1.2_01 update fixed minecart tracks, Tim?

 

Maybe he didn't fully fix it... huh. I know I saw it on his tumblr that he fixed it, though.

Mo' Creatures Mod and hopefully the Humans Mods are being updated by their creators as we speak. I won't play Minecraft without them. <3:

Wow, that is amazing.

It's... beautiful. Anyone have any advice on underground tree farms? We're trying to grow one, but they never seem to grow on their own, so we need to use bonemeal. It's definitely high enough, but does there need to be more than one space between the saplings? We only have one, and that's used to put a torch there.

 

The charcoal change is really cool, a lot easier to get ridiculous amounts of torches. We started a base that at the bottom of a cliff that looks out over the ocean. It's kinda terrifying running out each day and hoping a creeper doesn't drop on your head. D: Got two mineshafts down to bedrock, as well, but we haven't expanded them to go Diamond hunting yet. The only problem I have with MP atm is the lag. >_<

Lots of torches and water.

Lots of torches and water.

And don't place them one square apart, that might cause something for them not to grow.

 

Like at 10 minutes. Holy [bleep].

Holy [cabbage] lol, didn't know those black spot glitches held monsters. :razz:

They happen because of an error with lightning. If you put a torch, then the whole black area will be fixed, even if you remove the torch.

Just came out of a mine with 11 diamonds.

 

I am a happy miner.

Just came out of my new base and a creeper leaped down off the cliff my base is built into, and onto me.

 

I am not a happy miner.

 

Smartassery aside, I've started a new world, again. Tried going outside with a stone sword, no food or armor. On easy, but still >_> creeper mentioned before dropped on me and exploded nearby (no damage), and two more creepers exploded nearby. All on sand, so I have 3 big ass craters outside in the desert now.

 

Made use of the bonemeal to end my wood shortage, though - spawned in a desert area, and no trees nearby except for one small one, lol. Gonna start digging down now. 2-3 days in, haven't found any more coal apart from what I got on the first day, and zero iron. Lots and lots of cactus, though... >.>

 

But first, filling in those damned craters on my front (sand) lawn. Damned creepers, get off my lawn!

 

*shakes fist from behind doors*

 

 

Also, tool durability according to Minecraft wiki:

 

Wood: 60

 

Gold: 33

 

Stone: 132

 

Iron: 251

 

Diamond: 1561

 

Glad to see it's been increased, although I wonder if he did it because of people complaining, or because he personally felt they were too low to begin with?

So much time spent on redesigning my elaborate mansion with sandstone defences... :shock: Spider killed me shortly after I logged in and something had to be done.

 

Thinking of relocating into the sky.

I'm about to start playing the first game of legit survival mode in a while. Got some mods installed and can't wait to face the new monsters. :mrgreen:

To be completely honest, I won't install the entirety of Mo' Creatures because honestly, I have no effing clue how the hell to stop ogres for wtfpwning my base and then splatting me into the wall >.> I know they smash through walls made out of anything except obsidian (maybe I'm wrong on obsidian), so...

 

Once I start moving my way back up to hard difficulty, I'll add them in and see what happens. I've lost my touch, combat wise. Peaceful made me lazy :P

 

My current base has some issues. Building into the side of a cliff in a desert wasn't the most brilliant idea I've ever had, every once in a while I'll dig and cause a crapton of sand to fall on me >.< plus the distinct lack of grass (and therefore trees, and animals, and thus no food and armor) makes it that much tougher.

 

The sole plus is there is dirt in the area, and obviously a lot of sand. So, in the process of making a greenhouse attached to my main base now. Also slowly starting to dig down, using the stone slab (aka half blocks) to form a proper staircase so I don't have to jump to go back up.

 

 

I'm starting to improve combat wise again, though. Venturing outside during the night, assuming no skeles are nearby due to my lack of arrows, which I could fix if I wanted to dig up a gravel beach nearby, but... too lazy. Spiders are forever going to be able to get me in melee range, though. I can never get their attack patterns down to the point where I'm close enough to attack and not close enough to get pwnt repeatedly.

 

Collecting as many bones as I possibly can now, though. The bonemeal will be useful for the really, really big building projects that I'll need a lot of coal(charcoal) for (either to smelt iron for tools, cobble into smooth stone, sand into glass, etc). There's a big freaking mountain nearby across the lake, so I'll likely head there once I have some diamond and such.

 

Current mods loaded: Risugami's Mod Loader, Light Sensor block, Floodgate, Death Chest, Arrows, Sign Tags, Mob Spawner GUI, Wild Grass, MCRegion, and Optimine.

 

If anyone wants a link, just ask :P I'll bring up my bookmarks and provide em. Don't wanna lengthen this post any more than it already is, lol.

 

I'd also post screenies, but tbh, my base is kinda fugly (and tiny) right now, so... I'll wait :P it's only one room so far.

There's some controvery right now as to whether spdiers can climb sand and sandstone, but they definitely can't climb a wall if you put a horizontal line of ladders across it 3 or 4 blocks up.
