excel_excel Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I can't wait for Lego Minecraft the game! Basically Minecraft with lego connections added to all the blocks. Which would be a pretty sweet mod come to think of it. I like the look the of the Lego set, it is Minecrafty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) http://forums.bukkit...-chapter.62489/ For folks who want it... tl;dr: Bukkit team joins Mojang to work on server side things. Its a good thing since the Bukkit guys have been at it for almost two years and Mojang surely needs all the experience regarding server issues as they can get. Jens and Jon can focus on making and optimizing content, the Bukkit team can work on multiplayer and with Daniel coordinating the two. So yeah, Mojang with regards to Minecraft seems more well rounded now. Who knows how SMP will run and look like in six months from now... ---- Also this: http://www.minecraftforum.net/news/422-notch-gives-3-million-to-mojang-employees/ $3,000,000 to 25 (24? minus Notch himself) employees makes it about $120,000 per employee if counted at 25. It should include the Bukkit team as well who just joined too. So... working on Minecraft as fans paid off for them.

excel_excel Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/121/1219976p1.html So thought I'd put this in here rather than in its own Xbox thread for now. The XBLA version has 4 player splitscreen and supports up to 8 players online. Hmm. Sounds very nice, I don't see it being added to the PC release.

deanb Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/167137/Minecrafts_future_depends_on_more_than_just_Mojang_says_EA_CCO.php So EA's Chief Creative Director says that for Minecraft to be a successful business they need to sell services and products for it. "those are the kinds of things that Notch needs help with, and that without the help of a publisher or other support, he's probably not going to get there completely by himself." My, EA's Creative Director whatever kind of publisher support could you mean? Oh n obviously Notch read the article. https://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/184216335444746240 I'm sure EA is very successful at monetizing games, but the more we don't do what they would do, the happier I am.

MasterDex Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Let's hope he stays that way. It's clearly just a push for a slice of the pie. Mojang is doing fine without publisher support and being so successful at it is starting to scare the big fish. Found a typo in that article: I just like us being associated with great talent. Clearly, it was supposed to read: I just like us destroying great talent Edited March 26, 2012 by MasterDex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Anyone know if/how you can run two MC clients at once on the same PC. Also if there's any easy-ish way to control one of these with a 360 pad. Mainly looking for a potential way to amuse the wee ones tomorrow babysitting (One on the netbook, two on the desktop). If not I'll probably throw something up on PS3, or a film or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 http://www.mojang.com/2012/06/minecraft-snapshot-week-24/ So it now supports LAN. At first I thought little of it since we'd done LAN with it before, but this allows you to have others on LAN join in on your SP game. So hopefully that's heading towards one of the main missing features of MC with online play. i.e drop-in MP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Well if you want to host your own server you can have drop-in MP in the sense that people can drop in to the server... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Pretty much what I have done. I'm about to transfer my SSP map over to the SMP map, which share the same seed which essentially makes SMP my single player game since barely anybody comes by my server (Edit:I guess I can't for now..). Since I am pretty hands off, my only protection at the moment is to have a level backup every night. `Mojang's goal is to SMP and SSP to be the pretty much the same exact thing. It should in theory make it easier to update the game since they'll only be working on one version now, instead of two. It make life easier all around. I think. Not sure how it changes things for server owners. Lastly watch this dude. Edited June 20, 2012 by MaliciousH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 http://majornelson.com/2012/10/24/live-activity-for-week-of-october-15/ Minecraft beat out COD:MW3 as most played game the other week. Likely part of the die down as BO2 creeps upon us, but still quite the achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel_excel Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) So its also the first time an XBLA arcade game has beaten a retail game as most played title? Very impressive. Anybody here been playing the XBLA version a lot? Edited October 31, 2012 by excel_excel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 My roommate plays it quite a bit I think. Tons of laughs coming from his room. As a game to dick around with friends, I think Minecraft beats out CoD but with Halo 4 incoming... I had a blast in Halo 2. I bet Halo 3 was fun too.

deanb Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20492908 So UN Habitat are having a bit of a marketing stunt with Minecraft and "Minecraft Modelling Firm" Fyre UK ( ) to make some urban regeneration projects in Minecraft and let residents walk around the virtual environment. Because up to now no one has ever made a proper architectural design software that can create higher fidelity than the 1M2 blocks of Miencraft.

Little Pirate Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I've been considering getting this game for a while, but I'm afraid I will never see the light of day if I do...
