I'm actually really please that MC is getting a *big* monster (although I'd have preferred T-Rexes ) once you get a diamond sword and some armour the enemies become laughable, especially on the surface. It needs something to bring back the fear that you experienced during the first hour or so, even when you're tooled up.
But yeah.. bring on minecraft architecture. I want pistons to be able to lift like.. frames that you can build, so you can raise an entire building or something with only a few pistons.
Minecraft would be awesome if it had simple machines such as pulleys, wedges, and some structural items instead of .. every block for itself.
It just bugs me that MC turned in a direction.. NO ONE saw coming. I'm sure some people are happy but.. cool.. a dragon? What's the point. Am I supposed to enchant my sword with love so when I swing at it it becomes my pet?
I'm sure interesting things will come, but for now.. it just seems like the wrong turn at the wrong time.
Although I'm sure notch and jeb have it all planned out; they probably did this magic and dragon stuff for Minecon; where all the nerds that will be going to that will be happy because I'm sure 99% of them wish they were harry potter.
I thought dragons are only in Ender realm?
Guess it's just the Ender dragon subspecies(?) that's in that realm or...? *confused*
Anyhoo, I don't mind them, but I hope they're extremely rare to find.
Couldn't agree more with more mechanical features to the game.
Maybe after 1.0... 2.0? Argh, MC No Beta.
My thoughts exactly. I want Minecraft to stay as it is, you build, you survive. Enchantments? Not needed. I'd rather have an option to turn all that crap off and focus on survival.
I'm not complaining, I just.. wish there wasn't one guy writing the code and can change whatever he wants on the turn of a dime lol.
I'm excited for adventure and everything, but dragons and enchantments is just turning it into so many other games out there.. I always felt like minecraft was trying to be very different, and it was, but this is a step backwards for me.
It will be interesting and scary as hell when a dragon does come down and attack me but.. I dunno, I'm not sure what it ties into right now.
Notch said "Jeb had a brilliant idea today during our meeting and will start on it"
so that was the turnaround on that dragon. (From the enchantments)
Has anyone been playing the beta betas?
I may play some this weekend; I haven't touched MC in a few weeks now.. Just ready and waiting for some adventure stuff.. something.. anything to do!
thx, my plan was tu build it semi legit (spelling?), but after an greafing accident that burned down abit of my building made me lose my motivation, lol, so its mostly build by copy/paste..
but ground level and 2 floors up is made only by hand..
Pretty good job
