[Minecraft] General Dig-scussion Thread 2

[Wesley Foxx]

Since the old thread is about to roll over on 100 pages, might as well start up the new one.

This thread isn't for discussing specific server-related things, or your various minecraft-related fandoms *cough ponies cough* but rather the game as a whole. At the moment, we're in the midst of prereleases, with rumors of the next update being the full release! Get excited! Get mining! Get suggesting better thread titles!

Minecraft: The end of The End is the end of the end of your life.

[kholhaus]

TO START THIS RONKSTONKERY OF A THREAD or; "HOW TO GET THIS BLOCK OF YARN ROLLING"

The End. There hasn't been much digscussion on it as of yet.

Mainly, the lore aspect. Honestly, have you looked at the End Portals? They're constructed out of white stone and ender eyes. which only come from the End itself.

I think the Endermen invaded Minecraftia a long time ago, and they built those strongholds. However, after spending too long in our dimension, they started to go a little... crazy.

Endermen are my friendermen.

[PumpkinAppearifier]

I am currently on the Seventeenth Layer of my 121-Diameter Deathstar.

I am planning on using this things ridiculous size to put in some locations from the movies. So far I am thinking of putting in:

- The Emperors Throne Room
- The Docking bay for both the Millennium Falcon and the Emperors Shuttle (Possibly with the two ships inside)
- Possibly another Docking bay for a bunch of TIE fighters
- The Prison hall
- The main Reactor Core (in the center of course)
- The Firing Room

Any other Ideas????

That's all I've got atm. Any other ideas you have from the movies will likely be implemented because, hey why not? This thing is going to take forever to build anyways. whats one more Storm-trooper change room?

EDIT:

In response to this whole "Wtf the end and wtf and stuff" thing, I would like to suggest that maybe the Endermen were a lowly, oppressed people, fleeing from the evil, ravenous, Ender Dragons. Upon finding a way into our dimension, they Built the strongholds around the portals to their old home, then damaged said portal so there would be no risk of them being followed by the Dragons.

Little did they Know, a mischievous adventurer would open the portal again, unleashing untold horrors upon the world.

Either that or they just wanted to share their beautifully open space for building giant Deathstars.

[Tesseract]

But strongholds only have two-block high doors! Must've been painful



I wonder what the Enderdragons will drop

Hopefully not the flying thing, I would be like ultra-disappointed if it was the flying thing

The firing array

[ARandomKid]

I just smelted and placed 4096 blocks of glass.

In other news, I'm done with the first layer of my pyramid!

[Inconspicularity]

I just thought of a brilliant idea.

What if there was an insanity slider in the world generation options?
Having it at minimum would result in a realistic world with only sane terrain (no crazy mountains).
Having it at 25% would result in the current world generation.
50% would result in having epic canyons (dried up oceans) and more floating islands, etc.
100% would result in biomes consisting completely of floating islands, pre-beta farlands (fucking crazy terrain), and some parts where the entire terrain flips upside down.

Oh dear god I'm salivating.

Your avatar makes this post 413% more terrifying (no, not kidding, the math actually says so) and 267% more logical.

SECONDED!

Pictures! Whenever you build anything epic we need pictures!

like my floating castle I am working on:

alas,my time is limited it won't be done for a while

[ARandomKid]

But it's not done yet! I do have this giant hole where part of a mountain used to be, though. The mountain is in the way of my base, so it has to be removed. This takes forever with just one guy doing it.

[PumpkinAppearifier]

Props to you for building that in Survival! Mountains are a pain.

[ProfessorLizzard]

That is not insane enough. Where are the deserts made out of cakes? I want a cake biome in Insane Mode :c

[billybobfred]

You have to make the cake biomes yourself. sorry bro

[Drillgorg]

Cake biomes would just be inane mode, bro.

[williamcll]

and the cake biome means you could see through mountains

[ARandomKid]

Since I might not be coming back to it for a while due to homework and stuff, I figured I may as well show you all the base to get a sense of size:

On a related note, Normal view takes forEVER to render on this laptop, probably because of the shitty integrated graphics card. And yes that is my house fort home in the background there. It is considerably less impressive.

ender dragon eggs

I love the "spawn Endergragon" thing.
I spawned a new world just to watch it destroyed.

can you hatch these

in the overworld

[Kuraimano]

I think the Endermen invaded Minecraftia a long time ago, and they built those strongholds. However, after spending too long in our dimension, they started to go a little... crazy.

I think it is more likely that some ancient cult or population (the NPC villagers perhaps?) built those ruins and performed rituals to get to The End and things backfired, though I still can't see how would the Endermen get to the overworld since there's no way out of The End for now...

My guess is magic.

[Inconspicularity]

1.9 Pre-release 5.

[williamcll]

Will there really be a 1.10?

Nah, they are just preparing for release. Hardly any new features in this, mostly only bug fixes. They have said there is no point in doing any more actual beta releases, I think.

[temporalPeregrine]

By "Hardly any" I guess you mean the boss fight that was added.

Also they fixed slimes.
