Minecraft

pete's been tinkering with that; it looks pretty ghastly tbh so hopefully he can revert it back to normal

I've been exploring around the updated map and have found some cool stuff. Really epic rolling hills, a spruce forest with mossy cobble outcroppings and some kind of mulchy soil. Still haven't found one of those banded red cliffs though.

Edit: one funny thing is they broke the bed texture. The Mojang guys really do strike me as rather shitty devs. How can you make a bunch of changes and not notice a misaligned texture? Did they qc at all?

Yeah i noticed the bed last night, i was going "Whats wrong with my pillow on this side?"

continued running around in our map, found two villages, one in the desert. Also found lots of savanna, still no red banded cliffs though...

Did you guys try out the extreme world generation option? The world generator goes berserk, and its pretty fun to stumble across the country that has such height variation.

That can't be fixed. What are doing now then? making a big rail in the nether?

There's lots of undiscovered country out there if you're willing to walk a little bit.

But I guess it's up to you guys. So you say the current map has already been mc-edited? To me it feels just like the old map; when I go outside the area previously explored is when I find new biome types, which is what I'd expect...it feels un-edited to me?

The map hasn't been edited at all. I just messaged Stomach an idea.

There's a block in minecraft called a command block,( can be spawned in by stomach) It can be connected to a button etc, and it has the power to teleport a player to a specific area. Put one of these babies near the current spawn point and bobs your uncle.

We can have one that goes back to the old spawn as well.

fucking lol, I was exploring around and came across a weird figure...went to investigate, and was slain by a witch! Had never seen one before. Lost all my gear, as usual. Ragequit. Here are the pics of my journey

LET'S DO THAT

HELP ME PETE. I've spawned a command block and i know what instructions to put into it but when i try to input the commands it says "must be an opped player in creative mode"..... now y'see i've made myself an opped player and i've changed it to creative mode so.. what am I doing wrong?

OK so I finally got the command blocks to work.

If you're in the main 'plaza' you'll see a quartz shrine thing - where a beacon used to be. Step on the pressure plate and you'll be teleported 6000 blocks north to a savannah. pressure plate on the other end will take you back to the main portal. If anyone finds a mesa biome or something really ridiculous I'm happy to relocate the teleporter there.

Doing some more exploring today.. Dunno what's going on, but I can't seem to find any land except for ice and snow..

The place it spawns to is pretty cool. Think I might build a racecourse cos thats the only thing I can think of that I am keen to build

peaceful mode. booo

It's becoming evident that the map we are on now is painfully boring. Endless amounts of icy biomes and desert.
Here's my proposal:

1) Generate a new map using the extreme generator

2) Cut paste our current buildings into the new one using MCEdit

What do you think? Obviously losing the old stuff is painful.. From what I understand it isn't too hard to do a quick job with MCEdit.

I don't want to sound fussy but I've been walking about for an hour or so and I agree. Its mostly savannah biome and its a bit dull :(

Would an extreme biome be cripplingly slow?

I'd be ok for doing a reset I guess, or I could change the teleporter to 30,000 blocks away or something dumb

try amplified, you can always load up the old map if it fails. Its fucking cool on amplified. sorry for the indecisiveness its just I really did walk about and see jack shit on the map

Alright I'll get on it after work

Vert, I did some hunting for an amplified seed that starts us out in a mesa biome:

3412993

Found it in a youtube video... looks fun!

Holy shit this seed is insane! Makes the grand canyon look small..

ye that one is insaaaane

amplified does run rather slowly, in my experience. I'd be more keen to use mcedit to put our "hub" in the middle of some cool location of our choosing, rather than amplified. Also does using mcedit completely wipe the nether?

also you guys are sissies. There are plenty of good biomes on our map, I didn't find a lack of variety, I just couldn't find the red sand/clay cliffs. But I came across pretty much everything else (and have already made portals to some of it).

Suit yourself, even if you change to amplified you'll be bored in the same amount of time as if you hadn't, I'll wager. The boredom comes from inside...
