an NPC might already live there! Be careful, and try to give them something, they'll give you something back. That's what the Wiki says, anyway...

I'm actually writing a novel on Minecraft, and you can find it in the Fanfic section of the forums :D

I love minecraft, but I mostly play online now instead on just in singleplayer. When I do play singleplayer though, I use the mod YogBox which you can find more info on here: YogBox - A carefully-chosen compilation of good mods

Its awesome, adding lots and lots of sweet mods and even NPC Villages in singleplayer :D

I suggest downloading it, but thats just me :)

I'm glad more people are getting into Minecraft though, as I bought it when it first came into Alpha :) If you want to join me in multiplayer though, I play on a server by AG:MC and you have to be whitelisted by applying on their forums at AGMC

After you get whitelisted though, the server is mc.agmc.in

Enjoy!

Really? I saw no NPCs as of yet... but I may adventure out farther and try to find an NPC once I get settled.

Ooh ooh... but... pigs drown themselves now :lol: I found bacon under the water randomly while making my boat on a creative server. I found this epic cove I'm turning into a pirate hideout :squee:

@ Flare - good to know :lol: but what kind of mods do thy use there? :O that part is important
I'm tempted to apply... cause my old server stopped working like 2 months ago :(

Does anyone know a good Seed that starts you off on an island far from land?

The Wandering Poet 09-13-2011 12:43 AM

Not I... but I can try to find one...

1.8 is awesome... it actually SHOWS you the seed if you hit f3

PockyAnimeCat 09-13-2011 12:48 AM

wow...! That's cool!
And you don't have too.!!

The Wandering Poet 09-13-2011 01:26 AM

hawaii seed looks nice... but there aren't many resources other than wood on it. Would likely have to make a mine.

=) looks nice and flat though

Ooh... found a mini cave with coal =)

Grr.... and last spot I check it has a small connection to a continent :(

Drakina 09-13-2011 01:31 AM

Why do you want to start on an island, Cat?

On a random note, has anyone spawned on anything other than sand, or snow-covered sand?

Ohh...It sounds easier...Can't get lost really...
saw a YouTube video where 3 minecraft girls started on a small Island..Thought it might be interesting to try it too! :)

Drakina 09-13-2011 01:37 AM

Well, then, I wish you luck in finding your island. I hope it shall be a happy place for you!

PockyAnimeCat 09-13-2011 01:37 AM

^^ Thank you!

The Wandering Poet 09-13-2011 01:51 AM

Islands are a lot more simple... though I find building on top of a huge mountain is pretty simple too. Just make the mine spiral down to bedrock and light the top to avoid mobs XD

The first new world I created in the 1.8 pre-release spawned me atop a hill, on grass, surrounded by trees.

The Wandering Poet 09-13-2011 02:01 AM

My first one had a HUGE crack in the ground at water level with a spider dungeon XD

I've since left to try other seeds though... o.o so addictive now... ooh ooh and vines are awesome! haven't found them in survival yet but omg I wanna,...

Drakina 09-13-2011 02:02 AM

Well, that sounds more interesting than on sand near water. I've always spawned on that for some reason...

The Wandering Poet 09-13-2011 02:06 AM

I think my first map is corrupted though... it keeps crashing java... whereas creative doesn't crash it

BellyButton 09-13-2011 02:37 AM

I had issues after exploring a while also, fps shot way down and movement was chuggy, then blocks stopped displaying. Annnd then java crashed. ;D I noticed that a memory leak was among the things Jeb is fixing for tomorrow (or tonight? time zone confusion).

The Wandering Poet 09-13-2011 04:19 AM

Hmm... memory? I seem to crash even without exploring

----------

Weeeiiirrddd... I found a secret railway under one of the maps I started o.o

ZOMG NEW SPIDER

It poisons you too D:

Drakina 09-13-2011 07:44 PM

Poet, the huge crack is a ravine, it's a new natural feature. And the rails are an abandoned mineshaft, also new. It's the only place your going to find the cave spiders. There should be lots of ore there, if you get rid of the spider spawner. I've been looking up the new additions on the wiki.

BellyButton 09-13-2011 08:21 PM

An updated version of the pre-release 1.8 .jar file is posted on the official forums today. Runs a lot smoother for me, so far. <3

Drakina 09-13-2011 08:51 PM

Oh, I so wish my laptop could run it!

The Wandering Poet 09-13-2011 10:47 PM

Lags a bit more for me if I travel too far but smoother yeah if you stay put.

As for the shafts... they're too common... I went on creative... dug down... and I could not find a single cave WITHOUT a mine shaft... =/ that irks me a bit

cave spiders are SCARY... they can get through a 1 by 1 spot... @[email protected]

For-Chan Cookie 09-14-2011 01:24 AM

I'm really not crazy about the chasms. There are far too many of them. I feel like I'm going to fall down in one every five seconds. I didn't like giant holes in the ground to begin with. :gonk:

The cave spiders are terrifying. The first chasm/abandoned mineshaft I went into had a double spider spawning dungeon!

PockyAnimeCat 09-14-2011 01:29 AM

I kinda think that giant holes in the ground make Min ecraft...more..interesting and so you'll be on your toes more :)

The Wandering Poet 09-14-2011 01:44 AM

haha... I agree... but then I have a faster reaction time than most so I don't die...

A way of telling it's a chasm would be nice for those who don't react fast enough... like a border 1-2 stone wide around it

Cave spiders would be less scary if they followed the 2 width the other spiders do. That or make them smaller.

I'm really liking the depth of the caves though... because before most caves were like 3-5 high... I've been finding more expansive rooms
