Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation
The more I think about recent news, the less optimistic I am.
I suspect this is going to be the "let's break BTW" release. On the bright side, maybe we'll get BTW in SMP out of it. On the downside, looks like the mod's balance will be sodomized eight ways to Sunday.

FlowerChild, if you ever feel the need to do it, I'm sure that a large majority of us wouldn't care if you even slightly altered the way some Vanilla behavior works to make it more balanced with Better Than Wolves.FlowerChild wrote:The more I think about recent news, the less optimistic I am.

Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation
Nah, I'm not down with that At this point the changes I'd have to make would be sufficiently sweeping that they'd either break people's existing worlds, or break those of new players that adopt the mod.
I have other intended solutions in mind.
Anyways, we'll see tomorrow just how bad the damage is likely to be I guess. This may be the first time I boot up a pre-release so I can start thinking about the changes I'll need to make since the "adventure update".

Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation
I'm testing this trading system a little bit.
To its defense, there seems to be some "research" to do before you'd be able to get any item from any other one : at first a villager only have one kind of transaction possible. For instance the first one I spawned would give me a bookshelf for 3 Emeralds, but I had no emeralds (and had not found them in the inventory since they're green colored) so I was stucked.
I spawned an other one who would give me 1 emerald for 8 gold ingot.
I got my 8 emeralds and while I was getting some bookshelves from the first one, the second one was having some kind of poison particles around him. He could now give me 1 bookshelf for 3 emeralds too, just like the first one ! Which could, since I made a transaction with him, give me 4 glass blocs for 1 emerald, and then 1 emerald for 12 books.
It looks like there is a path to complete in order to be able to go from item A to item B.
Lol kaspermwh, indeed it looks strangely balanced ^^;

Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation
Emerald ore drops a single gem without an enchant and seems to need at least an iron pick. Fortune 3 doesn't seem to have much of an effect - I was getting mostly 1 emerald, with occasional 2's and rarely 3's.
The block was, in fact, the ender chest.
There also seems to be a problem with ghost items - after closing and opening Minecraft, the items that were on the ground are still there, but untouchable by TNT. They do still despawn after 5 minutes, though.

Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation
2 other additions :
- every transactions won't make the villager add new ones to their lists
- prices do change ! After I bought 42 compasses for 11 emerald each, value of paper and bookshelves dropped significantly.
Well, it looks interesting I say.

Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation
Would have made sense, and somewhat balanced the Enderchest, if you required end stone to make it.
Man Etho sure is going to be happy about those Sandstone stairs, though they seem to be made to facilitate restyled desert villages.

Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation
Theres also been some sort of desert temple added.

Has a secret room in it with reward chests, similar to villager chests by the look of it. More ways to skip the whole vanilla "tech-tree".

Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation
Okay, I have a bit of good news that this update implies:
There will almost certainly never be a backpack item in minecraft, as such an item would render the enderchest utterly useless.

Fuck me. This is just utterly terrible. Alright, FC, would you seriously, not even joking, consider never updating BTW to 1.3? This is... D: I used to love you, Mojang, but some things are unforgivable. Like making Minecraft suck.

Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation
You weren't going crazy, Panda! Not a new block, though. :) I also wonder how a texture can be less noisy. o.OChanged Gravel texture to less noisy one.
All in all, I find myself getting excited about this update despite myself.

Image noise refers to the sharp graininess & color in the old texture. Now each pixel better fits it neighbors and produces a smoother image.morvelaira wrote:I also wonder how a texture can be less noisy. o.O

Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation
So Emeralds AND Rubies are new ores?
Actually, as much as I don't like dealing with world gen changes, this will encourage me to actually leave my island and set up a new mining base. I think I need to anyway, I'm fairly sure I've gotten everything under my island.
Maybe I'll even find a village.

No, Anarch. He changed it during development, and didn't change the ore for the snapshot.
The Ender Chest apparently is a single inventory, so it'd be useful for moving goods long-distance on a server (or stealing from unwitting players).

-Dispensers are able to shoot up/down
-Dispensers spit their contents in order, like the Block Dispenser.
-Transformation into a block dispenser, which would fit considering the fact it can already create boats and minecarts
-An ability to suck items/blocks

Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation
Interesting is this:
Or will the Dispenser become a Block Dispenser?
edit: itamarcu! You damn ninja! :)
I hope Notch runs into jebs office at mojangs, shouting: "What have you done with my baby!"
So, Dispensers can pick up Water/Lava if there are buckets in, or can they just spit it out?@Dinnerbone If you have water AND lava in it might not suck it back up btw. I just made obsidian. =P
