Minecraft - NLSC Server is Up!

[JaoSming]

I got a server I'm going to use for us!


Anyone interested in joining? I'd like to keep it vanilla, at least for now.












Is anyone playing this thing? Looks....um....interesting, but I don't really 'get it'.

[StupidBoy]

Yeah, I played it a little, until 2k11 came out. I posted about it in the "Games you're playing" thread.
What don't you get? Perhaps I can help you.

thanks man, watching his videos now


this game might end up owning my soul if I get it......

[J@3]

People just seem to build crappy islands and stuff. Aside from the mega nerd building the computer, who even thinks to do something like that???

[JaoSming]

i like the exploring and survival bits of this, that's appealing to me big time, especially with randomized worlds

[JaoSming]

so 2 weeks later, here is the game world I'll be "retiring" when the Hell/Climate update hits tomorrow.

I probably played about an hour a day or so, didnt put much thought into anything other than the shaft/corridor that links the main "house" to the tower that is in the clouds.

YO DAWG I HEARD YOU LIKE MINECRAFT SO I PUT A 16 BIT PROCESSOR IN YOUR 16 BIT GAME SO YOU CAN PLAY MINECRAFT WHILE YOU PLAY MINECRAFT.

Update on that dude's work.



HOLY CRAP.

[JaoSming]

so I started a new type of game, I walk 1 day in one direction then set up shop....I have yet to find a base after dieing.



So I started this base, and actually mined a bit rather than staying on the surface......and whatdoyaknow, I find diamond, redstone, gold, and tons of fuckin lava. In all of my other worlds I have never found any "rare" stones.

So I poured water on the lava, created a diamond pick, mined some obsidian and created a portal to the hell region......awesome. had some fun, didnt die still, came back, went to my base and started putting my loot in my chest

pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst



fuck this "game"

[JaoSming]

If anyone is still playing this there is a pretty neat modding community for this. Definite installs for me are the Depth of Field and Better Light/Better Grass
http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic ... 25&t=55700


http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic ... 5&t=128043

Both of those together actually make the game look "good". Then there are add ons like Humans, animals, a girl that follows you, builders, bunch of other stuff too.

[JaoSming]

As I posted in the 'What are you playing' thread I did the 1km minecrart achievement, legitimately, and now i have this long ass railway to nowhere.

So I downloaded MCEdit and imported most of my old bases into one map along the railway. I can feel another hiatus from this game coming up for me, so if you guys still have it or play it (with a 5 month gap to a double post, I take it no one else is) and want to check out my combined map, here it is.

http://nba-live.com/jaosming/Mine%3f/Combined.rar

Everything in those bases was done without cheating or outside editing. Funny how you can be so proud yet so disappointed by the same time.

It'd be cool to see someone blow up all my bases too.

Nice. This whole last semester, I had two classes a day where I could finish my work in like 20 minutes, so I'd have an hour to play Minecraft in each of them. I built a 14-story lakeside mansion (approximately 40 blocks long by 25-30 blocks wide) with lava flowing all around it except for in front of the entrance. The top floor reached the clouds, and I built a really long water slide that started from the top floor that curved around most of the lake, and slowly descended to the level and emptied out to the lake.

After that I got really stupid and continued the water slide underground. I went a good distance underground, but as I was digging, I fell into an underground lava pit and died.

Turns out my spawn point must've been really, really, really far away from my house, because I never found it again.

[JaoSming]

you could use that MCEdit program to find it again, and they added Beds which change your spawn point

[rise]

Can't really find it again, seeing as I deleted the file weeks ago.

@ z02

Cool!...greedy idiot lol [/me reading his post]

Deadmau5 is a dick. Because he's canadien.

[JaoSming]

SO I legitimately got to "The End" of Minecraft. Killed some Enderbitches, got me some blaze rods from the nether, found a stronghold, dealt with silverfish, filled the portal, gathered all my enchanted weapons, went into the end.....

....spawned underneath the damn land, didnt bring a pick ax. Started building a filth bridge to get to the land, but the dragon found me and fucked me up.

...Round 2, going in there with nothing but a pick ax and a bow with 64 arrows (you need 22 to kill the dragon). I reach the surface of the land, turn around, get fucked up by dragon......FUCK.


balls to it, enjoy this

Interesting Read - http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/121 ... xperiment/

I had read that just a few weeks ago, pretty funny honestly. Even if you saw something similar to this coming, in the end, you wouldn't expect dirt to be the highest valued resource. That one team that builds the floating base just owns those guys.

Anyways I started playing this game a few weeks ago after finding some cools mods. If you've never heard of tekkit or technic pack of mods, look them up. They add a bunch of electrical machines and tools that totally change the game. Industrial Craft 2 in particular is my favourite. There's different tiers of items that build upon the vanilla Minecraft mechanics, but add lot more things to do and build. I just finished building my first Nuclear Reactor, and made my first few pieces of Quantum armor that honestly take forever to get materials for.

My entire house is completely automated, I just drop my shit into a chest when I walk in and everything gets sorted into labelled chests after being worked (grind, smelt, extract, canned, or recycled among others).

If you're one to play around a little bit with redstone, or build even moderately intricate organization systems in Minecraft, check it out. It's free and literally takes 2 minutes to install. Makes the game have a lot more depth and the pack includes mods that get rid of some of the tediousness and repetitiveness that vanilla Minecraft can often have. I'm pretty much a God now, which you think would make the game boring, but there's still more stuff to build, and just the fact that it took me so long to get to where I am, it doesn't make the endgame items feel overpowering (imo).

[JaoSming]

Anyone have any interest in playing in an NLSC server? It would be survival vanilla, but I guess servers only cost a few bucks a month, so I'd be willing to front that for some fun SMP

[Leftos]

I'm all for it come October, if we're left with any time in the day after modding 2K13.

[JaoSming]

well, I got a server. Just waiting to hear about making sure it isn't public. Anyone want in? Leftos and I will be recording, doing an LP probably. You could/should too if you want something to make very little $$$ on through YouTube.

[volsey]

I'd play just for kicks. Haven't played vanilla in quite some time, and never really played consistently with others on a server before, but I think it'd be fun.

Tell me whatcha need.

[JaoSming]

a time for you to skype call with me and possibly leftos so I can record the newbies to the server

[dare]

What's the IP? I want to try this, but I'm new to this game.

[JaoSming]

Would you Skype an episode with me? Attempt to stick around on the server and not just come on once or twice?


Not expecting like everyday building and such, I just don't want to whitelist people then waste the space

[Leftos]

Being new is more fun anyway. Jao's too much of a know-it-all.

[Kenny]

Once I get my internet issues sorted out, I'd like to join you guys. I don't go back to uni until late February and I have to save money for my exchange to California, so I plan to spend much of my holidays gaming.

[JaoSming]

badreligionau, I'm assuming you're the bastard

i wanted to brew something so I needed to kill a blaze.
enter the nether, immediately blow up because a creeper went down there
go back in to get my stuff, except the zombie pigmen are aggro
one of them has a damn fire aspect 1, knockback 1, sharpness 2 sword
finally get my stuff, dodge the bossman, run to my portal....its been shut off and explosions all around it from ghasts.
go back, kill the pigmen who were mad bro, couldnt find the "bossman" go and kill a blaze at my infamous fortress
head back, go through the portal, damn bossman waiting for me in the upper world....
kill him, get great sword, and it has your name on it.

[Kenny]

I built a teleport next to my underground spawn point. I think it was too close to the other one you had in the desert though, because it kept teleporting me back out there. In your videos, you mentioned how tough those pigmen are, so in an attempt to get back to the spawn, I hit one of them. Another time I went in, I got followed by a creeper. Another time I went in and came back out in the teleport at your spawn point. So I've kind of given up on the Nether at the moment.

The sword had my name on it?

[JaoSming]

but that is a pretty awesome explanation, lol. My portal actually linked back to the "desert" one as well, and I am out there. I think you need to go over 1024 blocks to be out of range. I had to build a portal in the nether all custom like to get it to link to my base. More info in the wiki http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Nethe ... and_Nether
