Haven't tried it yet due to lack of time, and with the fall game releases imminent I doubt I will until november at least... What is the developer planning on doing next? Any graphical upgrades on the horizon, or maybe some by mod community (it IS moddable, right)? Because it does look pretty damn terrible as is (I still play old games that have even worse ones in comparison tho), a simple texture replacement would go a long way to improve on that.

Edit: Yeah there actually is a pretty nice modding section on the official forums, some good stuff already available... And now after reading about the game a bit more I want to play it, ffffuuuu---

Might I suggest "The Painterly Pack". Seems to be the best-looking replacement pack whilst remaining faithful to the original textures.

3D Dot Game Heroes pack looks the best, but it might not suit individual likings.

Also inz, while you might be bothered by the gfx at start, you completely forget about it after a few minutes because you're too busy letting your imagination go wild.

Yup, that and Mixcraft (a compilation made of the other replacers, incl. Painterly) look like nice replacements.

Personally I'm using Mixcraft v6.
Code:

        {
            ReportProgress(0);
            List<ServerInfo> l = new List<ServerInfo>();
            string html = LoginAndReadPage(username, password, "http://minecraft.net/servers.jsp");
            StringReader sr = new StringReader(html);
            for (; ; )
            {
                string s = sr.ReadLine();
                if (s == null) { break; }
                s = s.Trim();
                string hashprefix = "server=";
                if (s.Contains(hashprefix))
                {
                    int a = s.IndexOf(hashprefix) + hashprefix.Length;
                    int b = s.IndexOf("\"", a + 1);
                    string url = "http://minecraft.net/play.jsp?server=" + s.Substring(a, b - a);
                    int a2 = s.IndexOf("<b>");
                    string name = s.Substring(a2 + "<b>".Length, s.IndexOf("</b>") - a2 - "</b>".Length + 1);
                    int a3 = s.Length - 1;
                    while (s[a3] != ' ') { a3--; }
                    string playersnumstr = s.Substring(a3);
                    string[] playersnumstrs = playersnumstr.Split(new[] { '/' });
                    int players = int.Parse(playersnumstrs[0]);
                    int playersmax = int.Parse(playersnumstrs[1]);
                    l.Add(new ServerInfo() { Url = url, Name = name, Players = players, PlayersMax = playersmax });
                }
            }
            ReportProgress(1);
            return l;
        }

I'm with Epsilon, Mixcraft is my favorite so far, although that's mainly because HD textures aren't working right yet. Some of the other packs are quite nice but the lack of animation in lava/water, plus some brick issues, turn me off from using them.

My suggestion for a secret third option is to mix-and-match: just use the parts of the mod(s) you want. For ex., use the moon, sun, and art from Mixcraft, but the terrain from Doku's. You can even make your own textures quite easily if you have any experience with graphics as they are pretty primitive.

Is there any real use for cobblestone apart from building your own structures? I prefer an underground lair so I've no real need for walls or anything, and I after mining a bit I already have loads of stacks. Iron and especially diamonds (haven't found any yet Sad) are a real bitch to mine, I have found more redstone so far which doesn't seem right.

Cobblestone can be used to manufacture furnaces, steps, stairs, tools, and levers. It can also be smelted back into stone, which can be used for pressure plates and buttons.

Just saying. To mine iron and coal you need at least a stone pick. For gold, redstone and diamonds you need at least an iron pick and obsidian can only be mined with an diamond pick.
Just throwing that out there.

Ok, this is probably easy to figure out, but I just wanna ask in case anyone knows

Can I easily set up my own server or just play over LAN, I'm sure me and my GF would enjoy co-oping on this one Smile

Yeah of course I made stone stools and furnaces right away, I meant is there any use for them after that since I'm getting waaay more than I'll ever need for tools. Guess I'll just dump them into the furnace; I've way too much coal as well.

Still no luck with iron; looks like I might've been screwed by the world generator if the discussions on the official forum are correct (in some worlds iron ore is much more common).

There is a release of 1.1 on tpb with server files(alpha, so full version) that gives thorough instruction on how to get lan working.

It's expensive though. 10 euro for a mini game?


It's also more fun than say, Mafia 2 or ME 2

Every block laid with your own two... well... hands.

edit:
although iirc there was a map editor in which you could lay blocks but where's the fun in that?

Do you have to build these structures by hand? I mean, every block must be built personaly or is there some kind of editor?


By hand of course. It's amazing what you can do in this game. It has what every single big game that was released recently is missing: gameplay.

Also, it's the only game where I laugh about my rages after I lose my 10 hours of progress Laughing
