1.8 Beta preview with commentary by Notch! I'm digging the creative mode and the ability to have it turned on per-user in multiplayer :D

Creative mode looks a lot like the free web-based version that I played and thought "What's all the fuss about?". I think that removes most of the fun of building stuff, it's pretty much one step away from a level editor.

 

The terrain looks really good though, rivers and ravines and stuff. I hope there's a way of making new areas on current servers generate like that. I quite like the idea of NPC villages and strongholds in solo/group survival but wouldn't really want them on a creative server like Teh.


Also, I can't think of a signature, any ideas?

My thoughts with creative mode was that people that want to just build things without the chore of collecting / building items, i.e. me, could be put into creative mode and everyone else can grind for what they need.

And from what I understand, we would have to generate a new map to use all the new geological goodies and such like :(

My hope, and I think some other people's hope too, is that Ant will find a map editor and trim off the explored-but-unused areas of the map when the next update hits, so that we don't have huge treks to see the new stuff.

Certainly a possibility if the new stuff will be generated in new areas.

I think creative mode will spoil it for the people using it (although I can see it being useful for admins).
My tower wouldn't have been nearly as satisfying if I hadn't mined and smelted the cobblestone.
Admittedly I nickel some from Jon, but over 90% was self- obtained.

Yeah, full creative mode in multiplayer would be rubbish (and I certainly won't be enabling it). We have the choice to do it now and we did have unlimited whatever on the old server.

Scribble it onto the minelines and I'll draw it up.

Here you go (in pink).

Might be worth checking what other lines have been built above ground since too.

Anyone want to add?

Maybe, maybe not.

I had huge fun helping making the Indoor Pool on the old server. I've had less fun thinking of stuff to make (and being beaten to it) and then having to grind to get everything I need.

The fact that it can be toggled on and off per-player makes it many times better than just having it enabled for the whole server.

I can toggle it on and off for any player right now.

 

Obviously it's not as easy as a full creative mode because you would still need to to do

 

/give [name] [item-id] [amount]

 

But still possible.

So, does it grant you access to any and every resource without having to mine/craft, with unlimited numbers or does it only give certain resources to build with like the web based game?

 

(can't watch the video 'til I get home :( )

Every resource unlimited by the looks of it.

Right - so you'd still have to craft/smelt stuff then - you wouldn't be able to hand yourself a load of tnt for example?

It gives you unlimited of everything - no crafting/smelting/etc needed.

No, I think it is literally everything. Whatever block is available I think you can use without crafting/smelting.
