deanb Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Heh, they changed the EULA when it changed to Alpha for "legal reasons" so that offer isn't on the cards anymore. If he ever says that he'll be destroyed by his own community and the only thing he'll be remembered for afterward is, "That guy who made Minecraft and ripped everyone off." http://notch.tumblr.com/post/2175441966/minecraft-beta-december-20-2010 We will also change the license to remove the line that promises all future versions of the game for free. Please note that this change only affects people who buy the game after December 20, so if you got the game for during alpha, you will still get all future updates for free, despite this change. A promise is a promise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enervation Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 If that's really going to be the case, how much is he going to charge per update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr W Phallus Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Nothing. Buying the game during beta will include all updates up until release, of course, and bug patches will be free. Basically, he's just allowing himself to charge for post-release DLC. And whilst I don't agree with charging for DLC (with the exception of decent multiplayer map packs to spice up a game that has been out for some time), that's no more evil than every other game developer out there other than Valve.

CrowKnow Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) A mod pack that might give you a reason to go back to minecraft or tide you until the adventure update. Contains tons of mods like npcs/villages/dungeon towers/airships/guns/new ore/mobs/zelda style heart containers. http://skylands.goonygoon.com/ Edited June 12, 2011 by ChrnoXIII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturnine Tenshi Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 This looks nifty. More importantly, it looks like the whole "adventure update" is something that could get me into the game again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Well, there's rivers now: http://twitter.com/#...187327949176833 And now this mod. It would be such a terrible thing to happen but like the dude said, its called a natural disaster for a reason. POKEMON.

Mr W Phallus Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 That Pokemon mod has the potential to be amazing. Then again Pokemon has the potential to be an amazing 3D RPG. Are you listening Nintendo, damn you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRan Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Wait, so when was the last time there was an update? 1.8 better be fucking massive > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 So, sprinting now will be unlimited but it will drain your food bar. Not sure how quickly but yeah, not quickly enough to overcome a row of stacks of food! (I hope that won't be possible) Also: http://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/108812676288884736 I would say the 9th so everyone with a free weekend will have a wonderful time of BROKEN GAME. Damn I am pessimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRan Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Not so much pessimistic as it is realistic. The game has been completely broken with updates that are a fraction of the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I understand why Herobrine will never be added but BLAH! I challenged them to doing something scary for Halloween 2011! And with that I shall add in another BROKEN GAME update. Kind of sad how Mojang is associated with that trait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirandello Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Also: http://twitter.com/#...812676288884736 I would say the 9th so everyone with a free weekend will have a wonderful time of BROKEN GAME. Damn I am pessimistic. But this was tweeted beforehand: https://twitter.com/#!/JahKob/status/108533046390685696 Makes me wonder. I guess I'll take Jeb's word for it, though.

Mal Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) No words. I am that amazed. I'm going to give it a go later. I wonder if it works for SMP... then again, 1.8 will break everything so whatever. Yep, this mod is amazing. I cheated to get the stuff to try them out. All I can say is... DAMN. I should give this a serious run and perhaps I can actually build some large projects legit as far as this mod is concern.

RockyRan Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 RARGH http://beefjack.com/...update-delayed/ 1.8 part 1 looks like it won't be hitting tomorrow. Lets all say it together!.......FUCK. You see this Notch! This is my patience. Its wearing thin! See, the worse thing is that the update is obviously going to be hopelessly broken for two-three days, so you need to add two-three days to their release date to get the PROPER release date. Honestly, I don't see them cranking out a playable version of the update until the end of the month. And I wouldn't be surprised to see them say "we're releasing this as is. We're cutting out even more features and putting them off because they were so buggy" like they did withe Halloween update (which, BTW, still hasn't been fully completed IIRC). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Saw his tweet yesterday but... you had to see this coming. I love the game to death but man... /headdesk At least I hope Jeb means what he says with the testing part. Then perhaps we will get a much more stable game. As for the Halloween Update... I better see one this year with lanterns carried by a Tonberry like mob. DOINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRan Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Anything can happen during testing. You might be five minutes away from release when you realize there's a bug that you really do need to fix, only find out that fixing that bug leads to something else being broken, fixing that means breaking something else still, and fixing that last one requires rewriting 5-6 different mechanics entirely just to accommodate that one. Gaming studios know how to avoid this issue, but Mojang appears to still struggle with it. I wonder how they'll change things (IF they change things) once it gets out of beta.

Mal Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 http://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/111685165054562306 Hey, perhaps the Bukkit stuff won't break... is Mojang really doing it correctly? I'm holding my breath... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
