Cogs and mechanics, connected to cogs would make this game really fun. You could build anything! Of course I have no idea how to practically make it work. But imagine making a real clock!

 

yeah that would be awesome. make things rotate. sculptures look more alive etc

I want a way to create water pressure. A fountain that shoots out water would be excellent, plus it was serve many functional uses.

Is there a mod?

Hey!

I meant people building amazing stuff with redstone. I guess I try to compensate my lack of redstone knowledge with building big stuff.

Hi! E3 is over, and we’re flying back to Sweden in a few hours. I have loads of information and news to share, so here’s a rambling information dump:

 

* Minecraft fans are amazing. I spent a fair bit of time at E3 signing t-shirts and cardboard heads, trying to speak with as many fans as possible, and every single person was super friendly and nice.

 

* It looks like we need to change the release date for Minecraft to be able to get a good venue for MinecraftCon. 11/11/11 is fully booked. One week later, perhaps? I’ll post more details as soon as we’ve decided and booked a venue.

 

* Minecraft is coming to XBox 360. It will be a new version of the game, designed specifically for console play. We haven’t decided on a name yet. It will feature (but not require) Kinect support, and is being released “this winter”. It will be a 360 exclusive title.

 

* Minecraft is coming to Xperia PLAY. It will be a new version of the game, designed specifically for mobile play. This version is called “Minecraft - Pocket Edition”. It’s built as a native Android game, and will take full use of the Xperia PLAY controls. After some period of exclusivity, we will release it for all modern Android phones.

 

* On both these platforms, I’m going to be more secretive about giving out details. This is because there are actual PR budgets on them, and I don’t want to mess up any big plans.

 

* I will be the game designer on both new Minecraft titles, but I won’t be involved in the programming as I’m focused on the PC version of Minecraft.

 

* We are working on Minecraft Beta 1.7, which I’m referring to as the “adventure update”. We’re keeping the details secret so people can get surprises. The idea with this update is to flesh out the game a bit, making it reward exploration and combat more. Assuming we like them in play testing, pistons are coming in 1.7.

 

* I’ve now been to the Playboy Mansion! Woo! Not related to Minecraft at all, but I just wanted to share that. :D

 

* Speaking of not Minecraft related, I got to see the Skyrim demo (thanks, Tim), and it’s freaking amazing. While the dragons in the demo were obviously scripted (he knew exactly where they would land and such), they claim they’re fully dynamic and unscripted in the full game.

 

* We’re starting the modding support on a small scale with 1.7. We’ll be giving the source code out to a very VERY small group of people before the release of 1.7. We’ll use those experiences to work out the final details, then we’ll get the modding api out as soon as possible after 1.7 has been released.

 

* Again, if you weren’t ware, the “modding api” is the entire source code for Minecraft, uncensored and unobfuscated. You need to agree to certain terms to get access, though, but anyone can apply.

servers been quiet lately, you guys bored or just holding out for 1.7?

i was on last night for a bit. i have more pressing engagements at present :P

I've been on but mostly afk collecting gunpowder since I used a lot lately.

I have been digging for some time now, and going to dig some more now...

notch looks like a fat version of my landlord, hrm

Yea, I'm not on. Summer vacation started for my girlfriend, so if I'm ever playing minecraft, it's LAN now.

I'll probably be back for 1.7.

Lol at that squid. They look so pathetic out of water.

Would you guys be willing to start over on the gargamel seed?

Pete, Eye and I were discussing it in game.

New map might draw more players. Also considering that specific map it would be interesting to see what people build on it. Seems like right now most of us are venturing way far away to build in new areas. That splits us up and we may as well be playing single player at that point.

Is gargamel new enough to have lapis and the new trees and whatever else has been added since?

i'd be up for it. and seeds don't work like that. a map generated from gargamel would contain all the fearures present at the point of generation. so yeah, it'd have lapis etc

Lets do it then. The 4 of us and Murve play the most. Everybody seems positive about it. Murve wbu?

My only real request is that we don't tear up the land kinda like what happened around coolville. Would help prevent mob spawns in the area and wold be easier to build.

would you of liked that video 2 years ago? My point is, Minecraft is making people insane

well two years ago i would have been 'what are those things in the background that look like depressed blocky penises?'

lol, yeh if you hadn't heard of minecraft that whole video would seem mental. god damn game, can someone go back in time and kill notch. He's taken too many hours away from my life.
