Jackie_Clay Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 After watching my friends play for several months I recently caved and shelled out the $22 USD for Minecraft and played it for very long hours for the couple of days after. I had loads of fun, built myself a log cabin with a tower on the top of it, two mines, and made myself a diamond pick and a portal to the Nether. After all this I lost interest and migrated back to RuneScape. I love Minecraft, it just seems RuneScape is the game for me. One of the driving reasons for me purchasing Minecraft is to have a really fun game with near limitless content to play when I am in locations that do not possess internet such as my friend's house or on the road.

I'm pretty sure most people (including myself) go through stages of playing lots of Minecraft then not playing it a while. What usually gets me back into it is starting another project ie a massive building or something. Oh and Low_C, any chance we could have the world save for the DS server? I'd like to have a look at what other people have done and what not :) My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

Peronix Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Wow there are a lot of bugs with 1.5, and 1.5_01 not only didn't seem to fix many of them, it created a whole bunch of new bugs. Well it dosen't look like I'll be updating my mods for quite a while. There will almost surely be a 1.5_02 and maybe even a 1.5_03 at this rate.

Abc1230 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Bug Fixes:Blocks can now be placed on Snow.Rain no longer goes through translucent blocks.Light does not go through stair blocks anymore, however if you did this in a previous update, unless the stairs are destroyed or a block adjacent is built or destroyed it will still work.Pumpkin and Jack-O-Lantern inventory texture is now fixed. Before, it was backwards. However, all placed pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns on the map are backwards.Game no longer crashes when rails are placed next to detector rails, or vice versa.Wolves are less common than in 1.5. New Bugs:Many different activities will crash SMP with an "internal server error".On some servers if a block is placed on a snow block, the action will be immediately reversed and the snow block will return and the placed block will be added back to your inventory. (May only happen when snowing)In SSP lightning on Steps is broken. Step turns black (on newly placed steps).Rain now falls through Water.Minecart Tracks of all types' placement behaves unexpectedly, not properly orienting after placement. (Curves don't work, slopes don't work, etc.) However if attempted again it will work.Putting a smelted item (glass, stone etc.) back in the furnace doesn't work.Placing blocks and/or mining, digging and/or harvesting resources with a texture pack installed rarely causes the game to crash to desktop in SSP.If you have a single wolf it rarely will turn into a wild wolf after you save your game. This can be fixed by taming a second wolf.Water does not change to Ice while snowing. Most likely related to the fix, "Rain no longer goes through translucent blocks."

LinkOlaran Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 There doesn't seem to be a huge number of gameplay bugs from what I can see from wiki's version history, but I'm going to guess that from a modder's point of view, there's probably more things not visible to the average minecrafter for bugs. Then again, some of the bugs look fairly game breaking for people with fairly established worlds (rails not curving, etc). *scrolls down to the list of bugs for 1.5* ... Damn, that's a lot of bugs. Yeah, this really isn't looking good, now that I'm a bit more awake and understanding the sheer number of bugs present right now. Jeez. Good thing I still have 1.4_01 with all my mods intact, if things get too bad I'll just downgrade to that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 The only bug that's truly affecting my gameplay is running the OpenGL. Its allowing me to play on fast/far, but I crash occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Did 1.5 update the grass blocks? My texture packs getting messed up with grass, specifically on the sides (like on hills), it takes on an iron block form. I haven't checked the default texture png file yet, I hope that's it...something's arranged differently. Ugh, I really want to play Minecraft for some reason...but, mah mods. :ohnoes: "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Jackie_Clay Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Huh looks like I won't be updating from 1.4 for a while then. "I think that if the devil doesn't exist, then man has created him.

LinkOlaran Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Yeah, Gio - 1.5 altered the sides of the grass blocks - you know how before the upper lip of grass didn't match up with the biome compliant top of the grass block? 1.5 makes it so that little lip of grass on the side matches the color. I'm not exactly sure why it's appearing as iron blocks, but I'd assume it's a texture.png rearrangement. I'll take a quick look at it, see where the grass side thing is at on the terrain file. Assuming it's there. Also, for those playing on anything but peaceful, watch out for creepers. If they're struck by lightning, they become powered creepers, which have a far more concentrated and larger explosion. They tear through cobblestone like a normal one would through dirt, and insta kill regardless of hp on normal/hard modes (from the wiki). EDIT: Just brought up terrain.png. Seems that the biome compliant side grass image is directly underneath the iron block image in the default textures file, so your texture pack showing iron blocks as the sides of grass due to it being in that same spot seems like the most likely culprit.

LinkOlaran Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I think I might've only seen one spider jockey in my entire time playing. Good job actually finding one, lol. Thankfully, for how powerful they are in terms of combat (health of both spider and skeleton, having to kill both seperately, spider's jump range, and skeleton's range attack), they're also really glitchy. I recall reading that if the spider jumps at the right time, it'll jump right up into the skeleton firing, and get hit - making it boot the skeleton off and maul it. Or, you could just wait till daylight for the skeleton to burn :P I should start a new world in easy/normal, actually. I've lost what little combat ability I've had by playing in peaceful >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Runar Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I just calculated how much time I've spent on Minecraft. The way I did it was that I used NBTedit to check how much time I've spent on the worlds and then counted them together. The five worlds I've played for more than a few minutes add up to 57 hours.The world I've played the most is currently at 27 hours. World 1 (which I haven't played for a while) is at 16.5 hours.Considering the dozens of worlds I've deleted I think the total time of single player (Alpha / Beta) is around 70 hours. My server is currently at 10.5 hours. I haven't played much on other servers, maybe around 5 hours total.So survival multiplayer time = 15 hours. I also played Creative for a while about a year ago; that probably adds ~5 more hours. 70 + 15 + 5 = 90 hours. Quite good for a €10 game :) By the way, if you want to check your own times, just download NBTedit, open the level.dat file of a world (found inside the world's save), and look for a variable called "Time". Divide it by 72000 to get the time in hours. This way you can see how much time you've spent on a single world and you also see pre-Beta 1.5 time.

Now I'm going to have to take a minecart track far out past the stuff I've been through before and make a new settlement. I've stayed exclusively on the one world since day one.
