Then go find a mod to disable that.

But... :-|

 

I don't want to.

 

There's a whole argument here about the pros and cons of creator/adventuring modes and whether having to eat in a game isn't all that different really to acquiring new armour/clothes etc. But I'm in a good mood, what with Christmas fast approaching, so don't really care. :-{)

I used to be able to 'jump', now I can't

did something change ? :(

Pardon me for sounding thick but what did the /jump command do?
From: JonCooper19 Dec 2011 19:00
To: ANT_THOMAS 3403 of 3934
allows you to 'jump' to where ever your crosshairs are pointing at, very usefull for getting up and down domes

and I thought I saw you use it once, unless you just jumped and hoped for the best

I don't think I've ever used it but I see it a lot in the logs from you. I'll see what I can do to enable it again.

(dome building is hard without it)

ah... still a bit short on height
From: ANT_THOMAS19 Dec 2011 22:18
To: JonCooper 3408 of 3934
So no increase? Something I as ever need to look into.

To: ANT_THOMAS 3409 of 3934
there was no increase in height over my dome, I think cos the chunk is pre-existing maybe?


anyhow - server is out of date now :(

I had a look and I couldn't see any easy/reasonable way to do it. I'll try and see what I can do again.

 

And I'll get it updated!

since no-one else seems to be playing now, would it be easier / simpler for you if I could have a copy of the world and just continue off-line?

I haven't upgraded yet. Been busy. I'll try and sort it tonight.

 

Then we'll see if anyone else starts playing (probably not) and I'll try and sort it out.

I gave it a play the other day to see what 1.1 is like. And... well, it has apples. Well done Notch. Good work.

It's not Notch, it's Jeb now, and he also fixed the naked sheep thing.

 

To be fair, I suspect there may have been a fair bit of cleaning up stuff rushed to get 1.0 ready he had to do, so I'll be waiting until 1.2 before deciding if he's making it better.

 

So far that's got climbable vines, a jungle biome, and new AI for zombies and wolves - not tried them out but feeling optimistic.

 

Of course, I'm not letting myself play at the moment because I'm trying to focus on getting stuff done, but hopefully I'll have the bulk of that out of the way by the time 1.2 is finished.

Aye I know, Notch is still responsible though.

But yeah, it's too little. It would be so fucking easy to keep this game interesting. I mean it lends itself to it - just add more block types, more things to find and discover and make - i.e. make what's good about the game better and keep it fresh for long time players.

But no, they insist on adding peripheral shit which is nothing to do with what makes the game good. And little of it.

They don't seem to understand what their game is. I am increasingly thinking that Notch was just an idiot who got lucky.

I've been saying that from pretty much the start!

Why don't you listen to me!? :(

me x3

I think he was a bit shocked at how popular it became, doesn't really know why and doesn't really know what to do with it now.

I too would be happier with more variation on the existing stuff, couldn't give a crap about potions, magic & feckin dragons.
