You know nothing. He probably plays the Xbox version or the one on the phone/tablet. Both are stripped down versions of the original. No offense to the Xboxers or Mobile players though. Glad you like it. This is from the t3hw00t.com Minecraft Server... That refers to Shibbs on here btw. Hence the ginger coloring.
Also from the server... http://www.t3hw00t.com/minecraft/map As with all things t3hw00t, some items on that map might be NSFW.
He plays it on the PC. It just looks so 1980. But he is constantly watching YouTube vids and playing it.
You say "looks so 1980" like that's a bad thing. Personally, I think single player Minecraft has 1000 times more depth to it than any of the sand and earth colored "Call of Battlefield Duty Force Black Company Ops 3 and a quarter" clones.
Oh yea! PC player here. My friends and I got a huge server we are working on constantly. Modern design is what we are going for on the current server.
My only suggestion is make sure you back up. Oh dear god the lost hours of my friend not backing up the server then crashing his computer.
That was his first mistake. You don't run any game server on the same machine you play on. Our Minecraft server is just a box that sits off in the corner of the office (it'll be on the rackmount eventually) and has no keyboard, mouse or monitor attached, just a power cable and the network connection. I can remote into it to make changes or upgrades. But otherwise, the saving is automated for the most part, and it is part of a scheduled task that I use to update the web based map of the world.
Exactly what we have done now! We built a computer just for running game servers now. Live and learn!
Yeah, started playing just before Christmas. I thought I had cleared out and "abandoned mine", had been through it a dozen times. I went back to pick up some rail that I had left behind, turned a corner and there was a huge section I had never stumbled on before!
No worries, Erik. I've been abusing Borderlands 2 as of late, and haven't had much time for digging holes and building dicks. Shane, it's survival. But since the dragon was slain, everyone has op. So you can go creative if you are looking for that sort of thing.
I just started playing the xbox version. Probably going to pick it up on PC. There are something that seem unnecessarily tedious on xbox that I believe can be scripted on PC, like cloning logic gates.
MCEdit. There are other tools as well. Basically in MCEdit you can build from scratch then save it as a schematic and load it into your world and copy paste it over and over. I am certain that's how that guy made that 8 bit computer out of redstone.
I'm still at the point where I'm learning the physics and quirks of redstone components. I've seen some videos where there is no way they sent through and set every block. The scientific graphing calculator? Not happening by hand. There are some interesting ideas out there. Like using a rotating "band" of blocks comprised of opaque and glass blocks to act as a memory register. I think the xbox version is going to get boring fast though. Needs more stuffs to play with.
There is a whole world of mods for the pc version as well. But yeah, there is a learning curve to Redstone circuits.. There is a overly complex system on our server that senses daylight, has a daily secondary timer, a distance relay using a mine cart, it plays a song and launches fireworks once a day. I haven't loaded the launchers in a while, but it does work well.
