Unofficial Minecraft Discussion XXXII

Post » Sun Aug 08, 2010 3:45 pm

Minecraft.net is suffering some difficulties at the moment, with the database getting overloaded. We’re working hard on fixing the problem.

In the meantime, I’ve uploaded the new game launcher, which you can download from here once the servers are back up and running.

The biggest updates in there are that it shows the latest update news, logs in over https, it asks if you want to update or keep playing on the current installed version, only downloads modified files.

I've posted a few notes on the council suggestion board about the shop prices, because there's a lot wrong with it. Here's the longer version:

Wool can be sold for 1 gold. Sheeps can drop up to 3 wool at a time. Easy money. Compare that to the 1 gold you get for 64 cobblestone, or one iron. I say remove wool from the store.

Sandstone can be sold for 2 gold, and is constructed from just 4 sand on a work bench! This is a REALLY easy way to make money. The other option of 64 sand for 1 gold is alright, but it makes no sense with the price for sandstone, so I think sandstone should also be removed from the shop.

Being able to buy diamonds for 20 gold is ridiculously cheap.

I think we should be able to sell Iron for a bit more.

Use Bonemonster's link if you want to donate towards the documentary...

But if you want to see the full 20 minutes, and in higher-def, go to Gametrailers:

I'm totally gonna donate enough for my name to be in the credits. You know... ego and all :D

I wish I could donate enough to get that piggy bank. That would be the coolest thing ever.

90 Degrees (the angle of a square)

Am I correct to assume that Minecraft has inspired you to create another game? If so... can there be Bonemonsters in it? :D

Yes and... Maybe. :P I got quite a bit done already. Right now I have a robot that walks around and can construct walls. I'm working on adding stairs. I'm calling it Fabritoid for now but I think the name could be better. Unfortunately Fabricon and Fabritron are already taken by some stupid manufacturing corporations.

An admin has to add you to the white list.

We also like you to have at least 1 star on these forums or be active in this thread for a while before we add you.

All the info's in the OP.

Undone made a miscalculation with sandstone cost. Sorry for anyone affected by it, but for the sake of game play, funds had to be taken from anyone's account that has been found to exploit the miscalculation. If you feel to have been wronged, I am the person to take it up with. You know who you are, and what you've done, and I do not want to see mistakes exploited like that again. If it seems like it shouldn't be, it probably shouldn't be. Cheating doesn't do anything but ruin the game for yourself and others, not to mention it can sap up a bit of the server admin's time, time that could be spent bug testing and implementing new features.

Wool/Sandstone/Iron/Diamonds have had prices adjusted for now. All price changes will be irrelevant within 2 weeks as a dynamic pricing system will be in place that adjusts prices based on supply/demand.

What is your minecraft name.
1. Do not commit murder or theft. Best practice is to NEVER open any chest that isn't yours, unless it is a public chest(communal wheat farm). If you are murdered, take a screen shot if possible.
2. Do not commit arson. Fire is bad. Very bad.
3. Do not destroy any work, without permission.
4. Do not build within the city, except for the 8x8 starter plot, or on land that you have purchased with your /money . Free build outside the city.
5. Help keep the map small, attempt to build within the current map size. Larger map is worse lag.
6. Use common sense and be courteous.
If you break any rules within your first month, your punishment will be far worse due to your lack of history.
