Minecraft is back!

I've never played it in a multiplayer environment. I played it a great deal in single-player, though. What's multiplayer like? What do people "do" there? I've seen a few multiplayer vids and it just looks like people stand around comparing "skins" or build towns and such.

/no idea

Then, there's the PVP aspect, which I don't really understand. Even though it supports it, it seems like it's just not really well optimized for that sort of play. Sure, one can build all sorts of "defenses" but actively trying to destroy someone's really prized hard work seems a bit... too cruel in a "building game."

I usually try to build nice little environments for people to look at and explore. Just artist things.

Playing in multiplayer in small groups like we do is just for helping each other and talk to friendly people. With mods, the process of gathering resources can be very hard for some stuff and there are some "mobs" that are much easier to kill with some help.

PVP in minecraft changed a lot, because they changed the combat system, now is not just spam atack, because you have a little cooldown for each weapon and if you use it before finishing the cooldown you do almost no damage.

Most pvp servers are focused in one kind of gameplay, like king of the hill, or hunger games with different lobbys for eachother, servers like mine usually even disable pvp.

PD: I saw your message lino

take what you may need to start from that ugly cabin on the mountain hahahah

Was difficult to find your hut on thop of the mountain, as the spawn was rather covered in trees. I took two iron for shears to get wool for a bed.
I build a small house on the small hill between your mountain and the spawn.

Any good mod i should start working with? I will avoid bees by all costs, they destroyed my morale last time around

Which energy type should be used? RF?

That depends, if you want fast ores to start crafting stuff i recomend thermal expansion.

And for energy, i think right now every mod on minecraft uses RF, most of them are compatible between them.

Cheers, will take a look at TE. I just dig a shaft the vanilla way down to diamond level and instantly found a few

When are you on the server? digging alone is only half the fun.

Mostly at evenings, this year is hitting me hard, im bussy as f*ck.

Check the "/ftb home" command in the game, you will find it usefull for coming back from the mine

It seems I have to join the server now, as well. Oh well.
Is there an IP or static address or something?

One friend joined yesterday too, we did a reactor and a tinkers smeltery, feel free to use them if needed

Post by **linolafett** » Tue, 20. Feb 18, 14:51

the smeltery is useful, nice. Any plans for decorating the spawn? its a bit confusing, when you join and you are stuck in a dense forest.
I might want to build a small plaza. We yould then set the spawn to the middle of that

I think thats a great idea, i was setting up at my place some starting stuff so the "life" in the game is easier, if i have time tonight i will start terraforming the spawn point

Thanks korio ^-^

So how does this work? Do I download minecraft through Twitch or manually or...?

On the twitch app select mods on the top, then minecraft, and then go to modpacks and search for Feed the beast revelation.

Install that one and then launch it, put the address i sent to you in the PM on the multiplayer addess list and you are ready.

Thanks. For some reason this whole process only worked after a couple of retries.
Dont want to know how many minecraft installations are now present on my PC.

However it tells me now that the server disconnected. Will retry...

*Edit: Nope, sorry Lino

Doesn't work for me. I think something is broken, no windows service is able to connect to the internet on my computer right now.
Have fun.

I saw you disconnect from the server, so i thought it worked for you. Sad we couldnt catch up! Thanks for trying though

Well Minecraft get it's 15 minutes of fame on all news networks in the US in the way that's becoming all to American. A man lured an 11 year old girl and kidnapped her from chats over playstation while playing Minecraft.

It's something I blame on game console culture and the lack of a bit of policing that any PC game...well even this forum has.

And result is the game gets a bad rep for the console's troubles.

I have to take issue with you insinuating that a game, a console or a forum is in anyway responsible for the morally repugnant actions of an individual.
I suppose you'd blame the gun or the bullet for shooting dead a person?

I'm not insulting the game at all. I'm saying that "console culture" tosses children into places where there are no real protections and it's the console makers that don't wish to change that and make differentiations between adult and minor users. It's a debate that went on behind the scenes and had some legislative moves in that direction stepped on by some savvy lobbying.
