Drake on Minecraft (Beta) 1.5

[Renegade]

Some people here might not frequent the archived history
readily available on the world wide web.

I decided to contribute by putting this here, where it is much more likely to be read by those of the newer generation(s).

In this work, we see the wild Drakehawke in its natural habitat...
seemingly having a social interaction with something widely thought
to be known as "-snipped due to PM-", however we can not confirm that statement.

This work dates to approximately April 19th, 2011 -- the day Minecraft Beta 1.5 was released.

18:21 - Icelandic Narlonkey: btw if you didn't know, MC 1.5
18:21 - Drakehawke: i heard
18:21 - Drakehawke: not looked at changelog
18:21 - Drakehawke: has he removed beds?
18:21 - Icelandic Narlonkey: don't think
18:22 - Drakehawke: then im still not playing minecraft regardless
18:22 - Icelandic Narlonkey: theres an option in the video settings now "Advanced OpenGL"
18:22 - Icelandic Narlonkey: why lol
18:23 - Icelandic Narlonkey: also framerates are like doubled
18:23 - Icelandic Narlonkey: ish
18:24 - Drakehawke: because theyve ruined the game
18:24 - Icelandic Narlonkey: not really
18:24 - Drakehawke: yes
18:24 - Drakehawke: they haev
18:24 - Drakehawke: the best part about minecraft
18:24 - Drakehawke: was sat in your house
18:25 - Drakehawke: absolutely shitting bricks because there was some horrid noise going on above your head
18:25 - Drakehawke: on your own
18:25 - Drakehawke: now
18:25 - Drakehawke: oh its getting dark
18:25 - Drakehawke: you go to sleep
18:25 - Drakehawke: and now
18:25 - Drakehawke: bam
18:25 - Drakehawke: its day again
18:25 - Icelandic Narlonkey: eh
18:25 - Drakehawke: fun removed
18:25 - Drakehawke: no seriously
18:25 - Drakehawke: now
18:25 - Drakehawke: minecraft
18:25 - Drakehawke: is just
18:26 - Drakehawke: gather resources
18:26 - Drakehawke: build house
18:26 - Drakehawke: thats IT
18:26 - Drakehawke: the 'survival' has been totally removed
18:26 - Icelandic Narlonkey: well, that might be changed
18:26 - Icelandic Narlonkey: notch was saying
18:26 - Icelandic Narlonkey: like
18:26 - Icelandic Narlonkey: he admited
18:26 - Icelandic Narlonkey: all his updates have basically been catering to the builders
18:26 - Icelandic Narlonkey: when you look at it
18:26 - Icelandic Narlonkey: not purposly
18:27 - Icelandic Narlonkey: just they have been, and he wants to make the survival/adventure part a lot better
18:27 - Drakehawke: i admire the inventiveness in it
18:27 - Drakehawke: but i honestly cant think of a way he could implement beds without damaging the game
18:27 - Drakehawke: one of the thing i liked about notch
18:27 - Drakehawke: is he said once
18:27 - Drakehawke: something like
18:28 - Drakehawke: "We're not afraid to remove features we don't feel work or remove, we won't try and 'improve' them and only make them worse."
18:28 - Drakehawke: the other thing
18:29 - Drakehawke: is that beds are so easy to make
18:29 - Icelandic Narlonkey: yeah
18:29 - Icelandic Narlonkey: if they were a lot harder to make i'd be more happy
18:29 - Icelandic Narlonkey: make them a luxury
18:29 - Drakehawke: but then i cant think of a way to give them a realistic cost
18:30 - Drakehawke: maybe it shouldnt be craftable
18:30 - Drakehawke: like
18:30 - Drakehawke: a dungeon chest item
18:30 - Drakehawke: that would be good
18:30 - Icelandic Narlonkey: that would work
18:31 - Drakehawke: then it really would be a true reward
18:31 - Icelandic Narlonkey: idk wtf a bed would be doing in a dungeon, but it would work xD
18:32 - Icelandic Narlonkey: also
18:33 - Icelandic Narlonkey: notch FINALLY added a proper use for gold
18:33 - Drakehawke: oo
18:33 - Drakehawke: ill go read the changelog
18:33 - Icelandic Narlonkey: booster tracks and detector tracks :D
18:33 - Drakehawke: oooh
18:34 - Drakehawke: hmm
18:34 - Drakehawke: actually
18:34 - Drakehawke: thats another thing
18:34 - Drakehawke: please tell me
18:34 - Drakehawke: theyre bigger than one block
18:35 - Icelandic Narlonkey: also apparently booster tracks turn the tracks running through them into wires
18:35 - Icelandic Narlonkey: only 1 block
18:35 - Icelandic Narlonkey: lol
18:36 - Drakehawke: oh fgs
18:36 - Drakehawke: ruining the fun there
18:36 - Drakehawke: i made my own boosters
18:36 - Drakehawke: didnt copy designs
18:36 - Drakehawke: that was the fun of my train system
18:36 - Drakehawke: thats
18:36 - Drakehawke: ffs
18:36 - Icelandic Narlonkey: lmfao
18:36 - Drakehawke: WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP RUINING GAMES
18:36 - Icelandic Narlonkey: it was needed lol
18:37 - Drakehawke: no it wasnt
18:37 - Drakehawke: the best thing he could have done
18:37 - Drakehawke: for that
18:37 - Drakehawke: is improve the physics/theories behind the old booster systems
18:37 - Drakehawke: make them an intended system rather than an accident of his cart physics
18:37 - Icelandic Narlonkey: yeah but like
18:37 - Icelandic Narlonkey: you can still use them
18:38 - Icelandic Narlonkey: and
18:38 - Drakehawke: yeah but
18:38 - Icelandic Narlonkey: they might be a better thing to use really
18:38 - Drakehawke: its like the flymod argument all over again
18:38 - Icelandic Narlonkey: because they are still more powerful
18:38 - Icelandic Narlonkey: like
18:38 - Icelandic Narlonkey: power to length ratio
18:38 - Icelandic Narlonkey: they are better then these
18:38 - Icelandic Narlonkey: but these can be turned on and off at will
18:38 - Drakehawke: :|
18:38 - Icelandic Narlonkey: and can be used as brakes
18:38 - Drakehawke: octaboost v4
18:39 - Icelandic Narlonkey: ?
18:39 - Icelandic Narlonkey: ;o
18:39 - Drakehawke: that was my booster system
18:39 - Drakehawke: like
18:39 - Drakehawke: a 500 block track
18:39 - Drakehawke: powered all the way
18:39 - Drakehawke: by a massive engine at either end
18:39 - Drakehawke: which contained 8 boosters each
18:39 - Icelandic Narlonkey: oh
18:39 - Drakehawke: the size of a small house
18:39 - Icelandic Narlonkey: in bananalantis?
18:39 - Drakehawke: now thats realistic
18:40 - Icelandic Narlonkey: yeah
18:40 - Icelandic Narlonkey: these you'll have to have a booster section ever so far on the track
18:40 - Drakehawke: :|
18:40 - Drakehawke: thats more
18:40 - Drakehawke: real life realistic
18:40 - Drakehawke: but not minecraft realistic
18:41 - Icelandic Narlonkey: well, i don't think normal boosters are patched yet
18:41 - Icelandic Narlonkey: and I doubt they will be
18:41 - Icelandic Narlonkey: i think it really comes down to prefrence

what the

i cant believed you saved this chat log from a fucking year ago

i feel violated


die please

[Renegade]

I think Ozzy put it on fricken' pastebin!
And what you said about beds is so true!

[Clutch]

It is true, I agree with Drake.

[Renegade]

It is very true.
I'm just like "Blah yeah whatever. If I just set this bed on this elevated grass platform and sleep at the first hint of dusk I won't even have to worry about the night."

And/or "Yeah alright. If I die I'll just go back to my bed, located next to my chests which are full of my useful stuff".
Granted, I've become reliant on beds just because everyone else uses them.

When R34B is released, Mojang is making it so that a bed requires 3 wool blocks (they're reverting wool into cloth, and 9 cloth makes a wool) --
that makes it a little more of a "reward" but seeing as to how 1 goat can make that much wool in like, 10 minutes, it's still going to be a relatively easy task.

[Moose]

Sheeps make the wool, Renegade.
you silly goose

[Clutch]

You could just refuse to play with beds.

[Moose]

Or you could find/make a mod that disables the crafting of them?
