General Chat / MINECRAFT!

normal pistons are arguably more useful than sticky ones.

Finished the castle ;P
Does anyone want to continue with some surroundings? The castle is supposed to be the one in Paris, so those Google Earth 3D models might come in handy

Now the absolute highlight of this update has to be the enderman. Notch was frustrated with not having a creepy enough mob. So he made one that moved fast and attacked hard. But there's a catch they don't charge you until you look at them (recticle on the mob) which is pretty scary shit enough but I think they also attack you if you look away from them.

And holy shit NPC villages? I am excited.

Are better graphics a given?

I don't think so but the new lighting system looks more realistic

brttrt gaphics would ruin it yo

How do I takes a picture? I'm really gettin' intor some Rapture inspired building and I'd like to show some..I tried Crtrl+S already.

print screen or F2

ThankssSSss sssSSSsssammmyy

anyone willing to set up the "official" NE Minecraft Server? ;P

I would but I'm still playin' on mah friend's account. One of you will have to lol.

Or we can all join a public 24/7 VPS server

johsminecraft.com peoplez

actually NE minecraft server could be a great idea provided that it doesn't lag too much since we'd be playing internationally.

i got bored today

Thought I'd give the shaders a try.. =D

Since I pretty much exclusively play Modded Minecraft on the server I pretty much help run, while shaders are nice, my computer can barely handle minecraft itself xD. My computer not so good xD, would be nice to be able to run with shaders so am jealous heh.

Well, I learned something pretty obvious recently: Never, ever use the SPC command "/spawn enderdragon [any number]" within 500 blocks of your house.
How do I know this?
Well...I forgot that the dragon destroys all non-endstone and obsidian blocks, and then this happened:

Live and learn, I guess.

Shaders are pretty awesome, but aren't really an option when you have a bunch of mods that rely on block updates (Equivalent Exchange 3, Thaumcraft 3, Mystcraft in ages with instability enabled, etc.) and your computer is barely holding 30 frames with all that stuff as it is. And also when you're using 1.4.6, which Sonic's Shaders haven't been updated for yet.

Yes, they have. Search SEUS on Facebook, he releases RCs there.

Should set up an NE server again sometime

You should do it.


do it. DO IT! DAMN!

I only have a laptop, don't think it could handle an NE server
