What is that? Like a story mode?

It's the one that adds rpg elements like a leveling system and villages etc. That said, it's still going to be pointless without dedicated servers!

Sounds interesting. Not something i think i would spend so much time in, but would be good to have another mode.
Dedicated servers are something i can see them doing. With all the arcade records they have broken since release it would be silly not too. Maybe something along the lines of what BF does.

BTW, you're a trooper for leaving your world open for people to jump in and out when you can.

I only got on once after fiddling with my router settings, though.

Adventure mode is only being released on the PC version on the 1st August and it's been said that its not even 100% ready. I wouldn't get my hopes up for it being on the Xbox any time soon.

For those wondering, its basically for adventure maps people build, it stops the user from breaking blocks etc.

Solitaire · 06-07-2012 3:11pm

I think people are confusing the planned Adventure Mode with the Adventure Update, which was just a snazzy name for the ending of the Beta dev cycle (basically 1.8 and 1.9).

At this point I do think Bukkitjang and 4J are going to have to have a long sit-down together to work out a proper cross-platform solution to rebuild MC on; Java really isn't working out for anyone anymore.

CMpunked · 06-07-2012 10:57pm

The first update, 1.7.3 (which is meant to drop next week) is going to include some skins for your player to wear.

So you will have the 8 standard skins. Steve, Suit Steve, Blonde Steve, Black Steve etc and then there will be a pack which will include 40 skins for only around 140 MSP.

But these arent just variations of steve, some of them are xbox themed.
The skins announced so far are:
Master Chief
Squidman
‘Splosion Man Scientist Danklef
Old-School Trails Evolution
Wizard
Creeper Man
‘Splosion Man
Trails Man
Covenant Grunt
King
Jack of Blades
Clayton Carmine
Banjo
Ms ‘Splosion
Prisoner

Heres some images:

These ones are big:

Skin 1
Skin 2
Skin 3
Skin 4

Anybody build anything good with pistons yet?? Haven't been able to find any Slimes yet. Any ideas on where the best place is to find them??

I cant figure out how to get them to work with the repeaters.

AFAIK, aren't slimes found underground?

15-07-2012 11:19am

The tutorial level has a chest with loads of pistons and redstone etc now if you want to get used to the redstone circuitry.

Built my first automatic piston door and piston repeater yesterday before my girlfriend made me turn it off :P

Yeah, still no luck for me. I've been looking at videos like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_StqlIYOXU&feature=related and from what I can see, everybody is saying to tunnel out a massive room 4 blocks above bedrock and make it 3 blocks high and well lit. Still haven't seen any slimes yet though

Was really impressed with the stadium build you were doing the other night. Would've liked to help a bit more, but I think I messed up the steps a little bit. Think I'll just stick to clearing the area from now on

You should join my game soon and check out the new walled town we've made.

15-07-2012 10:05pm

http://extension.ws/minecraft/slimes.html

put your seed into that, locate the coordinates of where you are and drag the map to it. Find the nearest green block, preferably one with another beside it and dig straight down till level ~20 (I think). Dig out a few 2-high rooms 16/16 from the bedrock within the coordinates and go away for a while. Worked first time for me after aimlessly digging up random massive holes!

SteveDPirate · 16-07-2012 1:09am

Must give that a go! Can you located anything else with it?

My Slime room has finally worked. Seems very random, but occasionally a Slime or 2 appear. Have found enough to make a simple piston door on one of the bigger houses we have. And we're going to try to do a large working gate of some sort on our castle wall. Tricky, but very rewarding making the circuits!

Anybody have any piston stories yet??

CMpunked · 17-07-2012 3:28pm

This is the only thing i have managed to figure out how to construct on my own with pistons.

Its a machine that constantly moves a sand block in a square..

As i said, the only idea ive made that hasnt been shamelessly robbed from youtube.

SteveDPirate · 17-07-2012 7:40pm

I made a 3x2 sticky piston door. It's quite cool (but robbed from YouTube also). Did you see it last night when you were in my game??

Sierra 117 · 02-08-2012 2:13pm

This large structure suddenly appeared out of nowhere recently

I have no idea what caused it. It's taller than cloud level and it has blocks of bedrock, iron and gold scattered throughout.

Has anything like that popped up for anyone else?

CMpunked · 02-08-2012 4:51pm

Did it pop up while you were in the game, or after you reloaded it?

Sierra 117 · 02-08-2012 8:40pm

It popped up after reload. It seems to be a permanent fixture of the world now.

CMpunked · 02-08-2012 8:55pm

I heard someone say that when they updated the game for the first big update a few weeks ago something like that happened them, but only something small. Not what happened yours.
Did it appear after the update a few days ago?

Sierra 117 · 02-08-2012 9:01pm

Yeah, it happened after the update. I loaded up a new world using the same seed and it didn't appear in that world.

CMpunked · 02-08-2012 9:03pm

It looks impressive, i'll tell you that. And obviously with the bedrock in it, it's a once off.

If you want any help mining all of its recourses (it looks like it has loads!), give me an add: CMpunked.
I'd be more than happy to help.

Sierra 117 · 02-08-2012 9:05pm

There's actually another structure similar to it not too far from it.

CMpunked · 02-08-2012 9:36pm

Whats your gamertag?

Better get working! :P

kennypowers_ · 07-10-2012 3:53pm

Cant wait for the 1.8.2 update
Creative mode >>>

SteveDPirate · 16-10-2012 3:40pm

1.8.2 is out today! Woop!

Looking forward to the new features. Anybody download it yet? Or are you all to busy playing to post

Sierra 117 · 17-10-2012 6:21pm

I downloaded it. Loving Creative mode. It's great to be able to build what I want without having to mine for materials.

Unfortunately, I had already explored all three of my worlds so I had to start a new world to get some of the villages to spawn. Villages are okay, not much in them. There were very few animals around which made keeping my food level up a pain. Especially with a load of enemies around at night. Plenty of wolves though, for some reason.

CMpunked · 17-10-2012 6:41pm

I'm loving creative too. Been making stuff that i've wanted to since the game came out but couldnt be bothered because i'm not good with balancing off the edge of stuff.

I started today by making this:

Sierra 117 · 17-10-2012 6:57pm

Cool bridge. The new block designs look great on it, a lot better than cobblestone would.

CMpunked · 17-10-2012 7:14pm

I made one similar using cobblestone and gave up quite early because it looked messy.

What's your gamertag?

Sierra 117 · 18-10-2012 6:53pm

Gamertag is The Hobo 87.

Kylo Ren · 20-10-2012 5:11pm

Are they going to make the map bigger?

Can't continue building my Charizard as I have hit the 'ceiling'.

Was hoping the new patch would of done it.

CMpunked · 24-10-2012 2:28am

Me and gis89lfc have been mad hard at work the last few days making a city off my previously posted bridge.

Oblig pair shot:

We built twin towers, a new york style apartment block, a tower that looks like a rocket, a very wide public building/library type building and assorted office buildings.
Oh and a coffee shop and a bus stop too.

Not bad when this was how we started out on sunday evening:

Anyone wanna join us and make a stake in our city? I've hit a bit of a creative block (:pac:) today so can't figure out what to make next.

I believe it will be in the next patch from what I'm aware.

Is this available on disc or is it just download with MS Points?

One of the kids wants it for Christmas from Santa. Big trouble if only via MS Points.

Only DL i'm afraid. Some work around suggestions:

Get him the points to download it and explain santa can't make the games that you can't buy in the shops.

Or

buy points and put it on the xbox when he goes to bed xmas eve night and download it. When he gets up that morning it will be installed on the xbox ready to go.

kleefarr · 04-12-2012 10:14am

Thanks, thought as much.
Had already worked out the Ms Points download thingy, but I know the other lad will probably want to play it as well, so I guess in the end it'll mean having to download it twice.

Damn, that looks really good! Haven't played Xbox Minecraft in a while. I'd give you a hand if I see you playing sometime soon.
