O_O

That's a lot of gameplay changing stuff...
He said ported. I was taken back for a second too, but he just means that an update is coming around to make it work with the new version, not that its being added to the next official minecraft version.

I'd kill notch if he added guns. The grappling hook SHOULD be implemented though.

I wouldn't mind if he went the steampunk route and added some flintlocks or something, but for the minecraft we are going with currently the max I see is a crossbow and maybe a cannon that you have to place.

Minecraft already has cannons. They're huge nasty inefficient things.

I don't think he will go steampunk anytime soon, but it's not a problem, just look at all the great steampunk mods.

SDK's guns.

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.
So I just started playing this game and I accidentally nuked the moon.

It's not updated yet, and I'm beginning to worry it won't come back, but Minegunner is an excellent mod, adds flintlock pistols. Even has a gunpowder crafting recipe.

Okay, let me be more specific.

Melee weapons, and not obsidian/bone/ice pickaxes.

For you developers out there, string seeds (as in, if you give worldgen anything that isn't fully numeric for a seed) are converted to hashcodes.
Code: [Select]
    String seedString = "fourteensenatedems";
    int seed = seedString.hashCode();
    System.out.println(seed);

The map seed is only used by the world generator, and not for other stuff (such as spawn location, how many items mobs drop etc).

Then why are spawn locations nearly always the same place? Me and everyone I know spawn on top of the same exact block of sand in -11. I know this doesn't always hold true, since I have spawned in two different areas on a different seed, but what is it that determines spawn? It cant be that random, since we always spawn in the same few areas. Its supposed to be within a 100x100 radius, too, but why wont I spawn on other blocks every time then?

i think i read somewhere that you always spawn on sand... i forget where, so take it with a grain of salt, but it could explain some things

I'm just asking since I have no idea if it's avalible. Does anyone know of a map generator that can generate specific biomes? I've been wanting to generate a huge Tundra/tagia map.
