there's a portal but no established path to it in the nether yet, easiest way is to take a portal to koko's sphere and travel from there to 5600/1800, or alternatively portal to the nether fortress, go back irl, and head towards it in the other direction.

 

cool

 

 

clay, clay blocks, or clay bricks? and how much?

those coords don't make sense, my sphere is at 5600/1800

Notch is a copy cat.

 

He copied the original minecraft Graphics and idea from another game, but I suppose he made it good...

 

Enchanting and Alchemy isn't his own either. While I can't say Bethesda owns the original idea as well, they most certainly used it and made what it is today from back in the 90s when they had their first Elder Scrolls game.

 

And now I'd just like to ask.

WTF Theirs Enchating and Alchemy in Minecraft now? COOL!

 

What else did Notch add?

 

the games you mention copy those from earlier games too.

every game builds on the concepts of those that precede it

i could say that bethesda copied it from the bard's tale and the early might and magic games

i could equally argue he ripped off jumping from manic miner

and railcarts from rollercoaster tycoon

and buttons or the point and click interface from xerox circa 1975

silly argument.

Yes sadly there are hardly any original ideas in today's world, they are most certainly hard to come by. The Majority prefer regurgitated shit so I guess its for the best anyways.

But take a look at that game and tell me their isn't some resemblance to minecraft there?... I mean you can use Idea but that almost looks exactly the same. Notch just took some ideas from RPG games, took the game design of Infiniminer learned lots of code real well and came up with minecraft.

I wonder if it weren't for Infiniminer if notch would be where he is today.. If you look at Youtube videos the games water and lava flows flow just like Minecrafts. Makes me think the physics is the same and thus perhaps even some coding?

I still like Minecraft but people give way to much credit to Notch, guys cool... but I doubt he can come up with any good ideas himself. Good thing he has the community to come up with Pistons for him... Perhaps he will hire a team of creative minds once his Company grows.

How many great games have you played recently that had a truely original concept ?

so i met my girl playing minecraft about december last year, we kinda hit it off and wanted to meet at minecon, we did and it was pretty fucking glorious to say the least, but minecon (Linecon) did suck.

here's my chick in her costume, i will post more pics later.

I still don't understand why that guy is eating his keyboard. :/

I think you should ask her to take the mask off one day..

Most games by Jason Rohrer.

But yea, if ya'll were playing minecraft because it was apparently unique I don't know why you weren't disappointed earlier.

Minecraft utilizes a pseudo-voxel engine, combines it with sandbox characteristics, and adds a survival element to it. That's why it's good.

lol this whole conversation just got seriuosly crazy... if u didnt get it i was JOKING........... duh...

so that kid is that youtube kid from those videos "kids react to" those dudes i posed with are from "The Shaft" a podcast about all things minecraft =) minecon after the opening ceremony was pretty anticlimactic, i stayed for about 45 minutes before i already just wanted to go back to the hotel room.

i met c418, shook his hand as he played music off the laptop, told him to play some aphex twin, he said he couldn't because of some kind of bad wifi connection. met jeb, saw notch, i didn't really care to meet the mojang team because that required being in a huge line, i mean a huge as fucking fuck of a line, that's all minecon was, a bunch of lines, they should have called it linecon.

lol, this is from the intro to pixeljunk shooter 2

We’re sure many of you have seen or heard about Notch’s post-Minecon tweets, which were not what we expected to see when we got off the plane from Minecon – we’ve had a sleep now and recovered a bit, so this is our response:

 

We are very disappointed by these tweets from someone we admire and respect. We can understand that it was the morning after the deadmau5 party and Notch was very tired, but we are still fairly upset. The quotes and actions that Notch attributed to us were not said by us or published anywhere by us. Therefore we are surprised and confused about where this stuff has come from - especially since the only time we spoke to Notch was at the interview.

 

Regarding dropping f-bombs at the show - we apologise for this, but had rehearsed the whole show in front of the organisers and half of Mojang and they had approved it. We were given no guidelines or oversight in the weeks leading up to Minecon and there were ample opportunities at the rehearsal for Mojang to inform us of problems, such as being careful about swearing, which is pretty common in our youtube videos.

 

Out of all the tweets that Notch sent out, most hurtful was the accusation that we told a kid to “fuck off” and crossed out another signature – which is something we would never ever do.

 

We loved spending time with fans and were overwhelmed by how many people were there to support us and give us gifts. Simon has enough Jaffas to last him until the middle of 2012. The problem was that Minecon is a new show and organisation was pretty bad, and when we came to the scheduled signing sessions, nothing had been set up for us and we had to scrabble around to fetch tables, ropes and pens ourselves. With some younger kids around, it was our priority to make sure everything was safe, as we have seen injuries in the past.

 

This lack of organization contributed to long and confused lines and we were heartbroken to have to turn away so many people when we ran out of time. Simon can only handle a certain amount of time between cups of coffee and nicotine tablets before collapsing, but we made a real effort to get out there and managed to do about six hours of signing. Although we were frustrated, we would never have treated fans in the way that Notch suggested we did.

 

We were also unhappy and surprised that a week before Minecon, Mojang informed us that they had sold the rights to livestream our show and content to IGN – they hadn’t asked us, they hadn’t spoken to us – they just sold it. Because of this, we nearly cancelled the trip, but decided to say “balls to it” and come anyway, because we felt we owed it to the fans. Hannah actually spoke with IGN directly earlier, and they agreed to take their video down and let us put the videos up on our channel, so a big thanks to them for that.

 

We were not paid, and never demanded to be paid. We asked for some support, and Mojang said they could offer us two hotel rooms for the duration of the stay and a small boardroom to rest in. We spent a huge amount of money on flights, rooms, food and equipment for the 10 people that we brought along to support us, act as security, make videos/posts and generally help out. We also gave away 100 special t-shirts for free.

 

The reason we came to Minecon is because we wanted to thank you guys and meet the community that we love and are a part of. We couldn’t have gotten to where we are now without you guys, and so we decided to eat the costs of attending and just have fun. This is why we spent our panel giving a voice to loads of talented people that couldn’t attend but have made Minecraft what it is today.

 

We’re not gonna stop making videos, not going to stop loving you guys, and hopefully we’ll see you at more gaming conventions in the future.

 

Lewis & Simon & Hannah

shit just got REAL, son.

this mature and just plain NICE response is everything notch's tweets lacked. yogscast are a class act.

i dont think it got real i just think its pretty obvious at this point how much of a dink notch is .. which probly should have been obvious to any one who pays attention to him at all

but ya its nothing new, notch is a big fat turd, end of story ,

i dunno.

notch is a big nerd. he never expected to become a celebrity. so i can't really blame him for dealing with it in a less than ideal way.
