The cows look way different from the cows in my Minecraft. The cows in my Minecraft are all brown, and the ones in the video are white with black spots, a la Gateway. (Or...real cows.) Am I missing something? and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Oh, right. I guess I must not have seen any cows at all before I installed your texture pack, which is weird.
Way to ruin my joke with your FACTS. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Minecraft used to have active snowfall many months ago, and it was quite pretty, but notch broke it with the Halloween update last year.
So, bugfix turnaround time on this one is... five months?! The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting. |

But I imagine you'd still need dyes for paint, so at least that time wouldn't have been wasted. Must...find...squids... Oh, and Notch announced an official release date for the final game: 11/11/11. Or, if you're European, 11/11/11. Now all they need to do is make Minecraft for iPad. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Good thing I got Little Ms T her beta key already! After her school work gets caught up she'll be joint us. She rather enjoyed terrorizing the old AN game.

Also, our speculative fears of lightning may be true:

I had a feeling.
Given how buggy some of these updates are I wouldn't be surprised if every MC world in existence is engulfed in flames on day one. Curious to find out if rain/snow/lightning starts at cloud-level. Could be neat to be above the clouds while it rains and lightnings below. So it goes. |

I've only used wool in one place, as pavers for the junction on the treetop canopy bridge going from Olde Towne out to the beach. Consideration for future "upgrades" seems important. I thought that I read somewhere that torches might be changed to Lanterns at some point. Not sure where that note was now, but it sounds like in that case Notch will grandfather all existing torches into being lanterns instead of killing them off. ... |

Don't need much space with a high density farm... Basically torches are placed in a L shape like a knights move on a chess board. This ensures that all ground spots are next to torches even when the trees start to grow. These farms are deadly, as the trees tend to grow through you while harvesting, but they produce an inordinate amount of wood.

I was going to build my house out of wool. I wonder if lightning always strikes the highest point in an area? |

Specifically, almost all blocks have the same characteristics when it comes to construction. Wool and Iron have the same tensile strength. The only thing relating to structural integrity that varies from block to block is explosion resistance. For instance, a TNT block detonated next to a stone wall would destroy one layer (one meter) of the wall, but the same TNT block detonated in the same place would take out two layers of wood or three layers of dirt or wool.
Minecraft physics are crazy in many ways. Most blocks aren't subject to gravity. If you stuck a block onto the side of a pillar of blocks, it would just hang there. Even if you removed the pillar the block would still stay there, floating in air. The only blocks which are subject to gravity are gravel and sand: if there is nothing beneath them, they will fall. And of course, players, mobs and items are also subject to gravity. Water is totally wonky as well. There are two kinds of water blocks: source and flow. Source blocks can be collected with a bucket, flow blocks cannot. Flow blocks emanate from source blocks as long as there is no obstruction for up to seven blocks. Flow blocks favor southwest, but they're not *that* picky, but because of the way the algorithm works, strange things can happen in blocks which are southwest of other flow blocks. It's... weird. To say the least. Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end. |
