MineCraft

I've been playing Minecraft a lot lately. I got a new texture pack called Soartex Fanver that is amazing.

I started a new game today and I managed to find a village. I am in the process of repairing it and making it look better. Once that has been done, I will build a wall around it for better protection. There are also some awesome ravines and caves nearby that I enjoy exploring.

The seed for this map is 2561162890733972796. The village that I'm at is located at X: 208 Y: 880.

Yeah me and my friends got a server already dumped 50 hours into it.

Fun indeed.

Spent soooo much time on this game. My server is even still running, although no one is using it at the moment - we stopped playing around six months ago. At our peak time, there were about ten of us though, exploring, building stuff, going hunting etc. Fun times.

What stopped me personally playing it was the lack of... emergent gameplay, I guess? I felt that the world was too "static", not much happened without player intervention. The villages are a good start, but I would have loved to see roaming groups of NPCs that actually do things. For example come to your village to either trade or attack, hunt animals, fight wars against each other etc. Giants would also have been nice... something actually dangerous roaming the world. Stuff like that.

Unfortunately the Minecraft community at large was apparently against such things, judging by the shit storm caused by something as minor as Endermen occasionally moving blocks. God forbid something unexpected actually might happen.

Completed the wall around the village.



Got some sheep as well.

I never really played Minecraft much during the "Minecraft Craze". In fact, I never really played it at all until recently. Although, I purchased it long ago when it was first out, but just never got around to playing it. So I haven't gotten bored of it yet. I'm a little late to the party. (Party's over)

Anyone played Tekkit?

Nobody who made a mod then that settles this area? IIRC there are such mods, but it's been a while for me too!

Oh there are mods aplenty, take a look at Bukkit for that sort of thing. You can have waves of creepers/zombies/whatever coming at you. I haven't tried it, but I imagine it would be...hectic!

yea we have it on our server...God forbid the nuclear reactor blowing up

All my good creations died with the servers they were on but I still play SP quite a bit. Very fun game.
