Mojang Gets Silly With Minecraft Map Trailer

[GrandmaFunk]

ya I knew it was coming, what surprises me is that it seems like they're sneaking it in when it's actually pretty huge for a lot of players.

it's mostly upsetting because the booster rails he's implemented as a replacement....are simply not comparable.

besides the obscene amount of gold required, they also work so poorly going uphill as to be non-functional(hopefully the speed boost will mitigate this but really it's matter of how much momentum is lost per unit of elevation, anywho..we'll see soon enough)

B-but, I don't have any paper...

Really? I admit I'm not much into rails but my twin helix track from bedrock to my sea-level storage area works quite well.

Is it me, or did they (The Escapist) change the video from what it was an hour ago or so so that it cuts off half of it?

I could only see half of it too... (then a PubClub advert starts) I had to go on youtube to see the full thing.

I have a horrible feeling that these bug fixes are going to
break a lot of the mods but a least this means the bug fixes
are done and he can get on with adding content. I mean ive been
getting updates every other day for some of my mods

From the bug list:

* Fixed pigs getting hit by lightning in multiplayer spawning client-side zombie pigmen

That sounds awesome, why would he fix that? I'd call it a feature and leave it in!

Um, thanks to powered rails, you will be able to still make subways and roller coasters. Heck, I built a pretty bitchin' roller coaster without using boosters, just powered rails, and I enjoyed it.

So just because you now need to find a little gold and a pinch of redstone instead of half a truckload more iron doesn't mean that your dreams of a personal Six Flags are dead.

The map is a small thing, I am more excited about hatches and tall grass. Finally I can build that bunker properly now and rule the world! Mwahahahahaha!
The biggest part of 1.6 is the bug fixes. Anybody that has had to troubleshoot even a program in Basic knows the chore that can be. With that out of the way now, I'm betting Notch is gonna give us some sweet swag in 1.7. I look forward to the pigmen villages. Would be nice to have more than just sheep and cows to talk to.
In my world.
Because there is nobody else worth talking to.
Stop looking at me like that.

It's not just you. Hope that gets fixed.

Might mean he is fixing it so it isn't just client-side so everyone else can see it.

-I fully expect SMP players to be sharing their exploits in the nether within the week. Make it so!

You are a little behind there, powered rails came out with 1.5. Booster(as in the original way to power minecarts) tracks have actually been enhanced with this update, making rollercoasters all the more exciting.

*Looks at the changelog*

nnnnoooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

They've finally fixed the minecart boosting method of colliding them with other carts. HOW WILL I MAINTAIN MY MINING OPERATION?! I can't nearly produce enough legitimate boosters to work in my current system. ;_:

 

[roostuf]

YEEESSSSssssssssSSSSSSsssssSSSSsss....(KABOOM!!!!)

looks great though.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

Damnit, he didn;t fix double doors not protecting you from mobs...

 

[Coldster]

I craped my pants when he yelled "Wiiilllllllsoooooooooooon". Can't wait for this update, it will be soooo cool.

 

[Fusionxl]

Well, as I already use Zan's Mod that basically gives me a minimap, I'm honestly not that excited

 

[JediMB]

Worked a bit on my railway system today. Turns out I produced about 3 times as many Powered Rails as I needed, due to a... um... slight miscalculation. This update makes me feel less silly about not learning how to do Minecart Boosting, and at least I'm set for a while as far as Powered Rails go.

Nether, maps, hatches, tall grass and spreading mushrooms are all very welcome additions. I should start a mushroom farm.

 

[Angel Molina]

Is it strange that i am more exited about the tall grass then the maps?

Agreed, where did that come from?

I read the list on his blog and apparently he is adding hatches as well... what ever that does?

awesome, although it wouldnt add too much to the game, the bug fixes are amazing though.

"WIIIIIIILLLLLLSOOOONN!"

Bah, I laugh at your maps! You know why? I build monuments visibile from a thousand cubits (well, not that far, it only renders so much at once, of course) away! Yes, constructing tall things and remembering where they are in relation to one another is truly superior to looking at a piece of paper that tells you where everything is! Obviously this doesn't work underground.

Thats what Im doing/started doing before they announced maps and I plan on finishing it!

 

[Angel Molina]

Damnit, he didn't fix double doors not protecting you from mobs...

And that's another thing! Whenever you place a double door and connect them to a source of power, one door stays open while the other stays closed. And then they switch whenever you have them on or off so you will ALWAYS have one door open... open to all those homicidal walking-bush monsters... just waiting outside... ssSsssSsss 0_0

Looks good! ALso,

Grats! Also, I love your avatar.

Well I quite liked the video, that's about all I have to say about this. =/
