Okay, it was a really bad idea to tech all the way up to the Klein Star Omega before I had my system all set up. The 31 Klein Star Eins I used to get to Omega costs 761,856 EMC, or 10 1/3 Diamond Blocks worth of EMC. Literally no non-crafted item that can go into a Transmutation Table is worth more than 204,800 EMC, each Klein Star Ein holds 1m EMC (Omega adds it up to 32m). Good thing this is only a test world while I wait for Advanced Machines to finish updating.

Welp new Minecraft snapshot is out today.

Today's snapshot is mostly tweaking.

Most of it was about fixing the ai of mobs, and working on the new Ocelots.

Ocelots are now easier to tame now. And like dogs, you can tell a cat to sit down.

Also from what I seen Mobs at least seem less confused when walking certain paths with thier new AI.

But now get this: Creepers now have a new AI and also a new "weakness"

And juding by the weakness: They are afraid of cats! And won't come 7 blocks near one! Time for some catplosion!

Also villages will try to go back to thier homes too.

For real? Just as I was planning to forcibly evict them from their homes and transport them through my involuntary excursion rail to inhabit my cells and cages... Guess I'm gonna have to revise that plan, then...

Oh my, that's interesting. Time to stockpile some cats when the server gets the update (and comes back after it goes down)

Exuro has one more critical reason to get a cat army now. If he alone lags the server due to his millitary of wolves, cats, and some golems, I won't be surprised.

Interesting. Why do I think that cats are going to litter the landscape as much as torches now?

...I'm always traveling with a cat and a wolf from now on.

So creepers really are afraid of kitties.

Does not compute.

But wouldn't that plummet our FPS, especially when the cats "adopt" us and thus can't get rid of them?

I really hope you got the reference I'm referring to.

Oh Lord, so much devastation!

I'd gladly try to blow up City Aquila with these babies, but honestly, they seem so overpowered, they would probably make short work of that magnificent city.

I've really gotta check out the Better than Wolves mod, as well as Better than BuildCraft and that Technic Pack which you guys seem to talk about all the time. I hear that they aren't compatible with one another, though...

Yeah, with the exception of Buildcraft (through BTB), Better than Wolves is completely incompatible with all Forge-based mods, which include IndustrialCraft2 (which is included in the Technic Pack). From the scuttlebutt on the IC2 fora, it's because FlowerChild (the creator of BTW) had a massive disagreement with what Forge does.

Default world height is likely to be increased in the future, http://i.imgur.com/nyxrj.png

and no it doesnt mess up old worlds but ive been seeing talk of another change in terrain generation in the future but whatever. A height increase is kinda exciting though.

巫女パン Trade Shrine · « **Reply #45 on:** February 08, 2012, 02:26:24 am »

Yes, height increase is a good thing, why hasn't it been in the game earlier....

~~also inb4 Stuffman talks about extra chunk lag this may cause~~

But it really is a legitimate concern!

I think the way chunks work in terms of filesize is that it starts counting down from the skybox to the first layer with a non-air block in it, so if you were to just take an existing map and double the height the size wouldn't increase any, but once you start building things up to the new height limit chunk sizes will increase dramatically. If chunks are twice as big then you'll be loading them half as fast, and they can be rather laggy sometimes as they are.

Wasn't trying to say that it wasn't....

Chunks work as 16 x 16 x 128 block areas (MC Wiki)...that could be problematic assuming the chunk structure and loading process remain the same other than the height limit, all right.

It looks like Optifine has finally fixed the bug with flickering stuff when you're far from the 0,0 coordinates now. (@Strafe: Get hype!)

Height increase, you say? Looks like EP's going to need to do some tower building again.

also obligatory hype for ocelots still

Took long enough; this is quite the improvement.

Honestly, that flickering wasn't as noticeable while working at my current base, seeing that I am considerably closer to spawn. (old base was 88000 blocks from spawn, current base is 4200 blocks from spawn) The only odd thing that I noticed since then was that doors would shut, but they would appear open, and also pistons would go invisible at times. If anything, I hope that bugfix will correct those errors.

Totaku · « **Reply #53 on:** February 09, 2012, 03:14:01 pm »

New snapshot update! Brace yourself for this one, cause as of this point... your doors are NO LONGER SAFE!

In today's snapshot update,

There's been some retweaking with more bugs and stuff but also we have the following...

Villages will go insides thier houses when it's raining or at night and socialize.
Mobs will have rare drops
Cats will meow now
Mobs will also move better in water
Double doors will open and shut properly. (You'll need to fix them if you put them down before you put the snapshot update in...
And finally....Zombies will be able to brake down doors!

The new height system is still in the works and more also known current bugs are that zombies can break down iron doors which will be fixied either later or in the next snapshot.

Dr.Strafe · « **Reply #54 on:** February 09, 2012, 03:54:41 pm »

Heh. Interesting. ~~I wonder if it applies to Iron doors as well..~~ I might need to set up some different perimeter doors. Could be worse, though. It could have been creepers with this new ability..

Edit- learn to read, dammit.

Oh good, I thought the game was becoming too easy!

The rare drops are interesting though.

Dlanor A. Knox · « **Reply #57 on:** February 09, 2012, 04:11:04 pm »

I just read the zombies only get to do that on hard mode.

I'm more interested in them finally fixing double doors.

HakureiSM · « **Reply #58 on:** February 09, 2012, 06:28:39 pm »

I don't like the prospect of zombies breaking doors

Agent of the BSoD · « **Reply #59 on:** February 09, 2012, 07:27:36 pm »

It's noted that they can only break down doors in hard or hardcore mode. On easy and normal, they will attempt to do so indefinitely with no success. There is a bug though that lets them also break down iron doors. Also, wolves are somewhat broken now. According to wiki, they tend to completely freeze. You can tame them and make them sit, but they will never move, not even teleport to you. (good thing this is just the snapshot version)
