I usually just play with a bunch of friends, there's a load of us that play minecraft in my school so it's pretty easy to get enough of us for a game
That also means I have a better chance of winning, since I'm pretty rubbish at pvp (with a sword, anyway. I'm alright with a bow), so we can evenly match up the teams as we know who is usually better than others

If you want to team up with me for a game sometime, add me on skype at e765skype and I'll find a game that we could play together that is really intense haha

Anyone think feed the beast should actually be in minecraft and not a mod?!

No. Vanilla minecraft should stay vanilla, and modded minecraft should stay modded minecraft.

No, not everyone likes it, and it completely changes the game. That would definitely ruin Minecraft for me.

Like for example, that realistic minecraft mod. TerraFirmaCraft, I think it was? If that was implemented, minecraft would be totally butchered. Mods are made so people can pick and choose features that they want and remove those that they don't want.

technically, FTB isn't even a mod, it is a mod pack, made of lots of mods.
And I'd rather it stayed that way. I don't mind FTB but not everyone likes it, and quite a lot of people wouldn't be able to even run minecraft due to the lag from everything it would add to minecraft. On my old computer, I couldn't even run FTB because I got about 3 FPS. If normal minecraft was like that, I wouldn't have been able to play at all, and neither would a lot of others.

I feel like SOME features should be in vanilla Minecraft, taken from mods.

For example, Inventory Tweaks: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1720872-162-inventory-tweaks-156-august-21/
If anything, give us the auto sort thing for our inventories.

This, I agree with. I also think TreeCapitator should be in vanilla, with an option to turn it on/off.

 

[toastia]

For once, I agree with you oath.

Minecraft is just brilliant!

How were your guys' first experiences playing Minecraft? I really scared me the first time I played. I tried it out with the fake version first and kept with it for awhile and bought it a few months later. In one of my first worlds, I went into a cave and got trapped behind gravel by a skeleton and I was so freaked out and it ended up killing me. It's so cool how much I've gotten at the game (to the point where I can clear whole caves without torches and without taking damage).
I remember how going outside was a nightmare. My friend started a SMP server for a few friends and every time I went outside so many creepers would explode. I used to yell so loudly because the game would just make me jump so much. It was so scary but so fuuuuun

I was in creative, reading a guide on how to play survival minecraft. I was like, "WAOW I BROKE IT DOESNT DROP A BLOCK!"
Unfortunately, by the time I figured out about creative, I had already read the entire minecraft wiki.

The first time I played, I caught on almost immediately.
The only think I had trouble with was swimming. .-.

I first played it at a friends house, she showed me how to break and place blocks (it took me about 30 minutes to stop accidentally pressing the wrong mouse buttons, lol) and we took turns on it, building a big house. We thought it was so amazing at the time, we even made a minecart track out of the side xD
Then it turned to night and all of the monsters came, and I completely freaked out, because she'd put it into survival mode so the sleletons all started shooting me
We took screenshots of the house, I'll phone her later and ask if she still has them, so I can post them here

Can anybody explain this to me with words my brain won't burn while trying to comprehend what it's saying?

http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Layer

I want to look for interesting things in my world and I was told that understanding the "layers" was important to know where to search for things I want. But I really, really cannot understand this article at all. Maybe it has to do with the fact I'm really slow with numbers and I don't understand graphs.

I guess everything I need to know is how to figure out what "Layer" I am at. The rest of the articles in the wiki tell me where to find things at a "layer level". But I Don't know how to tell what layer I am at. Help me, pretty please? >.X

Press F3. I gigantic thingy of numbers will pop up. If you look, you can find your x, y, and z coordinates. Z will be your layer. ^^

Sorry I couldn't explain it better ><;

It's basically your height

I got this game in 1.2.5
I play Pixelmon most of the time.
Anyone got any fun towny servers with custom item plugins and jobs?
I've tried monuments and mayhem, and Craftyn but none of them fit my buzz.

Last time I played on a survival server that wasn't being run by a friend of mine(I'm also one of the admins on his server =D), the admins were doing everything they said was bannable. Including robbing players. My bro and I used to play on the server together, until he came online a few times to find his place had been broken into and robbed(they used a plugin that allowed players to lock their homes and chests from access by other players; but you could still tunnel in; and it didn't stop admins at all) by at least one admin[he knew it was them because he caught them in the act once]. I only had somebody break into my home once, but nothing was missing. They probably just harvested some of my crops, replanted, and left; though I still quit the same time my bro did.

Thankfully, on my friend's server, we all frown on all forms of griefing/robbing. We always establish a publish base where we store materials for anyone's use and have an unspoken agreement that anything in a home built by a player becomes their property and no one touches the player's stuff without permission from the player(luckily, we've only had a few issues with people disregarding the rules so far.. mind you we rarely let people we don't know onto the server)

edit: oh, and I've been playing minecraft since it first released.

 

[Leanne]

Thank you guys ^^. After you helped me with this I was able to find things a little better but when I asked a friend in real life, he told me that I should be looking at the "Y" number instead of Z. Still, that was pretty much the idea and I was able to find some diamonds now.

Thanks again! ^^
