Although the only "progression" problem I found was funny was that the easiest way to kill spiders was via bow & arrow since spiders are large. But to get the string for the arrows, you need to...kill...spiders...

This is why you either use landmines, cactus barrier, string from spiderwebs, or a simple sword.

I'll just leave this here.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Hahaha, that's a neat link UncleSam. I approve.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I always kill spiders with a sword because it's 1HKO. Spiders are pretty weak.

No more official releases, but weekly pre-releases instead

also dragons

 

[GwJ]

So does that mean I'm gonna have to manually update now and it won't automatically update anymore?

I F-ing called it. why do they even bother at this point? the game is supposed to be finished in a month and we've been doing fine until 1.8 with slow updates.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Finally getting dragons~

 

[Patinator]

Yeah, I was like O.O when I read that. Ender world looks amazing, and dragons are ****ING HUGE much bigger than I expected.

 

[UncleSam]

I better be able to ride dragons.

[UncleSam]

so it's like a super griefer?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Wow. I never would have thought.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I was exploring a mineshaft I created and found this

LOL

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Is that a sheep in a minecart or something?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Yep, random sheep somehow got in my minecart

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I wasn't even aware sheep would wander that far down.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I wasn't even aware sheep would wander that far down.

It's a massive minecart system with interchangeable lanes (With redstone/ detector rail switches) that connects to multiple areas including my town. I saw it wondering around outside quit a bit before this picture was taken.

I have a minecart constantly going for aesthetic purposes and it must have jumped in as it passed by

 

[John2k4]

That'ssssss a nice mineshaft you have there...

 

[GwJ]

It'd be a sssssssshame if a ssssssssheep were to hijack it...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

1.9 prerelease 4 is out. It didn't add much, but potions now have full effects and enchantments "work". It's not confirmed if the enchantment buffs actually work, but you can see what buff the enchantment gives you, at least.

New kind of potion, "Splash Potions". You can throw them at mobs/ players (?) and it gives them the effect. Negative potions now have a use.

The ender realm is in, but it's currently more boring than the original nether. It has 1 new block, which you can't get (It drops cobblestone) and has nothing but endermen in it

 

[GwJ]

What exactly is the Ender realm like?

Switches? How does that work, exactly? 0_0

I just found out recently that a switch next to a rail like

Spoiler

Switches the direction the curved rail goes to.

 

[UncleSam]

I found this really fun custom map.

12 waves of mobs, but a surprising lack of creepers.

I always found those really awkward to use. Ideally, you'd control them from your house or some sort of control room, not while in a minecart, so you need what would literally be kilometers of redstone to manage switches.

...No way.

WOW. That is awesome! I have GOT to try that out. o_o

My suggestion for Minecraft...

Endercorn!

People were having a discussion about sending people away to the End as a punishment in SMP (Since it's currently inescapable unless you die) it reminded me of the Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life" where the little boy wished away anyone that angered him to the Cornfield.

I was thinking, having corn as the only naturally growing plant in the End (As right now it's barren and boring). It would be like a reward for getting through the End alive, and corn would look wonderful on farms.

Homage to a classic episode of a classic series

I remember that TZ episode...and I like this idea.

 

[Wave⁂]

I don't get how supporting corn is an achievement.

Cool idea, though.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Awww, poor archer duder.

Mundo wandered out of the League of Legends universe and into Minecraft, turning into a dragon in the process. Going where he pleases as usual.

What the ****? How do you even manage to do this? I didn't know blocks could be done in an animation like that, is this a hack or something?

 

[Wave⁂]

It's stop motion you idiot

 

[John2k4]

Fun thing to do:

Thank you John, for giving some future Minecraft gameplay.

I'm been watching CaptainSparklez's skyblock playthrough for a couple weeks, it's pretty cool.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Oh damn, CaptainSparklez played Skyblock? I'm tempted to check it out but I feel like I'd copy whatever he does. XD
