Now I know why my little water fort is so far behind.... My obsidian Safe room, plus all the glass and cobblestone... I see...

Does anybody have a link to that simple textures pack?

[Maxon]

Yup.  Minecraft launcher is awesome.  Put up a track from my fort to the first main cavern system entrance I found.

[beep beep diglett]

has anyone figured out how to make a good sphere without making it look like shit?

[MasterGH]

I got my first diamond piece today! Yay! Also about 20 pieces of gold and 130 pieces of redstone. All this was after I managed to link my under-dwelling mine with a large cave formation.

[Luinbariel]

I found a record!

[Duck, Duck, Goose]

I found a record!

Nice.

I keep meaning to post my lighthouse and current world... but this stupid hotel internet is sloooooooooooooooooow.

Here you go: Link

Pre warning you though, the texture pack was bugged up during the last update (Gold and Brick so far have see-though fire in em) still great though.

Actually it's always been like that. There's no real support for high res textures so it's more or less a hack. Think notch said he was going to add better support for high res textures sometime though.

I don't know, a waypoint system seems a lot more important at the moment.. plus 'getting off his retarded java fetish' wouldn't that require him to re-do the whole game?

Java is close enough to C++ that it wouldn't be like he had to write everything over from scratch. Better he do it now before the game gets stuck in java forever ;_;

A compass and/or waypointing system would be so blessedly simple that I've taken their absence to mean Notch has zero plans on adding them.




When he started, the project was fine with Java. Now, however, it is far beyond Java's scope. Take the current Alpha release for example;



I launch Minecraft.exe (Which is just simply a .jar file that's been complied differently. not a real .exe file) and the thing allocates 838,020K ram to itself and promptly fills up 397,824K of that, before opening any world, or even moving the mouse inside the launcher's GUI.

.............errrr, with what? some ~50 odd textures that are around 64x64? That takes 400MB RAM? No, it doesn't. Minecraft's .jar files and all resources, including sound and music tracks, take up less than 32MB of space, even assuming Notch was using Crysis quality textures, the tiny quantity of them would still not necessitate 400MB of RAM to simply initialize and preload the entire shebang.


Comparatively, the stock creative mp server uses ~140MB ram to load a little 128x128x64 world, any 3rd party native linux, win32, or win32 .exe running under nano on linux server uses less then 70MB to load the same level.




Java is great, it powers billions of devices around the world, providing them with a myriad of abilities that when you think about it, can boggle the mind.



It isn't, however, a gaming platform. There's a reason why too.

[MasterGH]

Hell yeah, finally got my account properly upgraded. Here's the skin I borrowed off some guy called Woofington.

Also, I'm in the process of making a large path, with the hope of finding a nice spot to build a new home at along the way.

[Luinbariel]

it doesn't work

[MasterGH]

Hows about now?
