Cookie Clicker in Minecraft

I agree, this is awesome.

Waiting patiently for Cookie Clicker in Skyrim.

Updated world generator / Biomes.

Minecraft's head developer, Jens Bergensten (a.k.a Jeb), posted a new blog post today showing off some of the changes coming to Minecraft's world generator with the next big update. Some of the changes include smaller Oceans, more varied Biomes, as well as rare varients of the existing Biomes.

You can read the full blog post here: https://mojang.com/2013/08/minecraft-world-generator-update/

It's been awhile since I've picked up Minecraft, but I think once the new Biomes hit I might have to start up a new map and see what's out there. What do you, my fellow Happy Haunts, think of the next update?

I've been wanting to get back into Minecraft, but I think I'll wait until this happens first.

Of course, Minecraft 1.7, Terraria 1.2, and the Starbound beta will probably happen all at once.

jdodson Admin wrote on 08/28/2013 at 10:13pm

Yeah this update looks pretty neat. I may run a dedicated CG server for a few weeks so we can check it out when it drops as long as it doesn't collide w Terraria 1.2 or Starbound.

Any news on when that will be?

Timogorgon Member Post Author wrote on 08/28/2013 at 10:31pm

I actually ran a private server for me and a couple friends previously. I'd gladly help out with the server when/if that happens. :)

jdodson Admin wrote on 08/28/2013 at 10:35pm

Sure. When it drops let me know and we can work it out. I don't mind whom hosts it. We can use the events to co-ordinate people joining with the password and such.

Mine Of Steel

I want someone to remake The Dark Knight in Minecraft. Not just the trailer, the whole film. Its cool, I can wait.

The First 5 Minutes of Star Wars in Minecraft

Minecraft fans are notorious for making crazy things in game and this recent fan project is no exception. You need to watch the first 5 minutes of Star Wars rendered in Minecraft.

Awesome.

Minecraft: The Story of Mojang

"Minecraft: The Story of Mojang is the second feature from game culture archivists 2 Player Productions... This feature-length documentary follows the young company over the course of its first year as their profile expands across the world stage and into the homes of millions of gamers. Featuring insights from industry icons (Peter Molyneux, Tim Schafer), journalists (Geoff Keighley, Stephen Totilo), tastemakers (Gabe & Tycho of Penny Arcade), and players profoundly impacted by the game (Yogscast, The Shaft, Minecraft Teacher), the film serves as a time capsule for one of this generation's most unorthodox success stories."

I am really interested in checking this... Read All

Happy Holidays with Minecraft!

Like many of you, when my Holiday time off comes around I plan on playing some games. Minecraft will no doubt be played and it seems that Mojang will be updating it so you can ring in the New Year Minecraft Style.... Minecraft Style.... OP, OP, OP!

From the Mojangs mouth:

"What’s this? This doesn’t sound like a redstone update at all!”, you say. “Indeed,” we say. Thing is, we* suddenly decided we wanted to make sure that you have fireworks for New Year’s Eve, so we’re working in several parallel branches of the code now. One is for the 1.5 “Redstone Update,” and one is now for a 1.4.6 patch update. This update will be out before Christmas, and 1.5 will wait until January... Read All

My New Treehouse and Sunset & Life. Always life.

I know many of you have little happiness in your lives. You come here for a few things and I imagine my life changing Minecraft videos are part of the reason. I heard your calls over the vast sea of the Internet bits and am gifting to you my latest video.

Oh right the video is also fairly short, clocking a bit over 5 minutes.

I was inspired to build a Treehouse in one of the taller trees on my farm. I am proud of my Minecraft creations thinking I am doing some impressive work until I went to a few Minecraft servers and my hopes of achieving Minecraft greatness were dashed. I seem to have less time than some Minecraft pros.

That said, existing in a world like Minecraft... Read All

I like my own world to experiment and build new things. But since I started playing on a server with my cousin (we host it) I just like seeing what things other people come up with and in a community effort put your own spin on it. Not tearing it down or anything but striking out and building your own ideas. I had a great idea come up when I was watching him add on to his castle. Now I am working on a monster maze. It is version 1. I have a large tower I plan to adapt the concept too. Playing with friends brings a whole new level to the game. We just need more people to play with.

For awhile I liked the solitude also. In my head, I came up with this sort of narrative that I was the sole survivor of the apocalypse (I started playing before NPC villages were a thing ;) ). But now I love being on a multiplayer server. It's awesome to see what other people build and to get to show off my own creations.

Interesting, as I've been thinking about building a tree house in the world I last created in Minecraft a couple of months ago. I have not done so yet, in fact I haven't even played Minecraft hardly at all in the last couple of months (I blame Terraria for that hahahaha). I was really glad, when I created this world, that I spawned in a jungle. Before I created this new world, I had a house, a whole in a cave, and I was desperately looking for a jungle so I could tame an ocelot. I explored quite a bit and never found my jungle. I can't recall, but I imagine I created a new world because I died and got frustrated. I've done that so many times that that is the only reason I can think of as to why I created a new world (that and I wanted a jungle when I couldn't find one). All that said, the reason I wanted to create a tree house was because I felt that would be the best defense against Creepers (I really hate when they blow my stuff up, a point which I keep mentioning). However, I did find a nice little "floating island" in my current world, which I may go explore and move in there. I think the last time I played I was on my 3rd or 4th cave that I found trying to find some diamonds. Sadly, I felt like I could never find enough diamonds and maybe that's a small part of why I stopped playing again. However, reading and seeing more about Minecraft makes me want to go back. Oh and I did find and tame some ocelots in my new world, but some didn't last very long or I didn't. As I was chasing one ocelot kitten, it ended up drowning (very sad). While a tree house is a great idea as defense against Creepers, it would suck to have a dog since they take fall damage.

Welcome to Depression Island

I hate to say. This is the worst random map of Minecraft that I've ever played. The island is tiny. Super tiny, it is literally small enough to walk across all directions without traveling a whole day. I died 6 times and got 3 dogs killed because resources (food) are hard to come by, and it is ultra depressing because animals do not spawn very often. I actually hate this world. I have recorded every play through on this island. I do not know how much longer I will because this place drives me nuts. Enjoy

Minecraft World!

This is a quick ~7 minute video showing off my minecraft world. I've only been playing on the world for a few hours so there isn't much to show. I just wanted to document the changes from beginning to end of my minecraft world. Plus, this will help me start my youtube channel off. I've been really wanting to start recording LP's and such for youtube but haven't been able to get it up and running. Mainly because I have been displeased with a lot of the recordings I have done.

My voice is kinda quiet in the video, my apologizes. I forgot to increase my mic before starting. So yeah, listen carefully or just turn the volume up.

Please leave some critique. I would really... Read All

I like the random mountain thingy that went far up like a sculpture. Its cool what the random generator can do.

I handnt considered building a house like that, good idea. I am currently building a treehouse and I might takes some of your design ideas and incorporate them.

Oh, wondering, what recording software did you use? Frapps? I am using the Quicktime screen recorder built into my Mac for now. It works well but any of my Windows games are out for recording until I find a solution to work on Windows.

BR Supporter Post Author wrote on 11/15/2012 at 12:40pm

Yeah, I use Fraps. I don't know how large videos are when you record with quicktime, but if you decide to use fraps, make sure you have lots of space. That 7 minute video took up 6.5 gb.

jdodson Admin wrote on 11/15/2012 at 03:48pm

QuickTime videos are very small. My 38 minute video was 1.2 gigs. Perhaps Fraps can encode with less space with a setting tweak?

BR Supporter Post Author wrote on 11/15/2012 at 11:33pm

I really have no clue. I need to mess around with the settings on it. Just haven't yet. I think fraps records in higher quality which is why it takes more space. I also need to figure out the correct dimensions for youtube videos. My current render options on sony vegas make it so I have those black bars on the left and right.

AdamPFarnsworth wrote on 11/16/2012 at 12:50am

Very cool video. Just my second LP I've ever seen (the first being jdodson's Minecraft), and it looks like such a good game! I really like the floor plan of your house and I look forward to seeing progress!

hardeyez wrote on 11/17/2012 at 04:46am

Here's a crazy way to record the screen that works great for my kids (doing minecraft videos). Open up a google hangout, choose to share screen instead of camera, set it to broadcast, record your video that have it archive to youtube... and viola...

hardeyez wrote on 11/17/2012 at 04:50am

Ah, it's now called "Enable Hangouts On Air" and you do it first when starting the hangout. That lets you live broadcast to the world and also auto-archive to youtube...

jdodson Admin wrote on 11/17/2012 at 07:27am

Wow thats a great idea, plus it would work in Linux too :D

BR Supporter Post Author wrote on 11/17/2012 at 05:53pm

Recording live would work for me when i want to do longer videos

jdodson Admin wrote on 11/17/2012 at 08:26pm

Yep. Going to check that out.
