Minecraft

[Robert Maxwell]

Yeah, it's possible. My zombie XP farm causes the zombies to fall 22 blocks so they're only 1-3 punches away from death (a few die in the fall for some reason). I let them build up for half an hour or so, and when I come back there's hundreds of zombies waiting to be punched in the knees. I could also use splash potions on them to kill the whole group in one go, but I haven't tested that yet.

Ah, but you still have to attack them yourself to get the XP. I suppose the traps do make it a bit too easy.

On the other hand, people have been exploiting whatever game mechanics are available since day one.

 

[Owain Taggart]

True enough, Ben. I suppose I'm just not a big fan of enchantments in general.

I only ever play in creative mode, I just like building stuff :P

 

[Cutter John]

I hear ya. Though I'm more a fan of exploring and mining myself.

Grrrr. Finally in the mood to play tonight and the game server is down.

 

[Saturn0660]

I know right... Still down... ALL down...

 

[Kestra]

Is that what's going on? I was able to log on from the browser but not through the game on my comp.

 

[Saturn0660]

who knows.. i can only play "offline" single player.

Try logging in and playing through your browser.

They're probably still hungover from Notch's birthday yesterday.

Or somebody dumped their beer on the server.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

The person who maintains the login web service has been known to screw it up from time to time.

 

[Itisnotlogical]

I'm kind of disappointed, I thought it was because they were uploading the next version.

 

[Saturn0660]

My island is coming along nicely.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

Very nice!

 

[Kestra]

I've been contemplating what to build on stick island and I have a few ideas ...

Same here. The thought of adding stuff like hunger and XP just doesn't appeal to me considering how I play (exploring, mining and building stuff).

Both my daughter and son play on creative mode only. My daughter just keeps adding and adding to her home. My son just loves lava. We indeed are a minecraft loving family.

 

[Owain Taggart]

You might like Robert's server then, Sheep. I'd call it a hybrid of survival mode with creative mode sensibilities. We don't lose anything when we die, and we're heavy on exploration, mining and building. Perhaps most important of all is the fact that there are no creepers on the server, as we find them too destructive in general.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

I'd say it's a free build server with survival elements--emphasis on gathering resources and building, and not penalizing you when you die.

 

[Saturn0660]

As it should be..

 

[Cutter John]

And no Creepers to ruin your stuff.
