Singleplayer Survival

[Robin]

Hey!

I would like to tell you about the SP survival mode in Minecraft, well as you can understand the mode is about survival, and you will need to build shelters and such to avoid enemies that spwan with the night. And to do it easy for you I will post a great survival tutorial that I used my first time playing Minecraft!

I do like myself some tutorials! However, these are all really basic stuff, you should make an Advanced Tutorial section or something :) Good video's though! What recording program do you use?

[Apv301]

If you made a redstone tutorial that explained "how" it worked, not how to set it up, I'd be your friend forever =o

[Robin]

It's not me that have made this tutorial :) But I could talk to someone I know are very good at redstone projects :)

[Time]

I'm still learning the ropes with redstone, but to be honest a good way to start is with fusing TNT and finding more complicated ways to make it work without dying.

[Robin]

I have just learned that tnt is a bad thing on SMP servers :p so we will try to keep it down if possible for now ;)

[Time]

Why is it bad? :o

[Robin]

It bring the server down, like minecarts as such, read the latest post in the server thread :) but I just learned!

[Apv301]

Well I can make almost all of the gates from memory, I just don't understand how to make them work together, or make a line extend where power is lost lol.

[Time]

Yeah, I could memorize the combination of all the gates/locks... but I would prefer to learn how it works, and why... so then I can create my own custom things. :]

[Apv301]

right! thats precisely my point =D! I hope robin can convince his friend to make a video =o

[Time]

Yeah, that would be good. From what i've read from the wiki, and the tutorials on youtube, i've only learned about how fuses work with TNT >.< They are not great at teaching newbies :P

[Apv301]

well I once built a massive basement with every single gatelogic in play. The only thing I managed to figure out was how to get two double iron doors to open at the same time and in the same dirrection.

[howlgram]

ok, we really need a youtube channel about minecraftnews! dude, im going to post it in the feedback or ideas or whatever it is :D such a great idea (i think Time's idea)

[Apv301]

I think we do have a channel for us, if not I set one up and maintain it.

[Robin]

We have a channel , Theminecraftnews :) But I haven't put all of my effort into it yet, so it's only my own 4 videos right now.

The link to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheMinecraftnews?feature=mhum

I might make a direct link to it from the front page, I have talked to .dll here on the forum, and it's he that might make a redstone tutorial, but we will see :)

[howlgram]

can we make videos that we want the channel to upload, send them to you, and then you decide if they are suitable for the channel? :)

[Robin]

Well I guess you can upload them on youtube, and then I ad them to the channel if they fit :) And if there is some kind of link for the website in the movie I am happy like " and visit www.minecraftnews.net for more movies and a great community" :) send me a PM if you have something you like to add and I will take a look and see what we can do with it :)

[howlgram]

ok, (besides the minecraft trailer xD) nothing yet, but apv might make some sort of movie :)

[Apv301]

Yeah, it's going to be kinda hard though lol.

[Time]

Yeah, it's going to be kinda hard though lol.

Oi!
I'll help ya. We should make a staff made movie ;)

[Apv301]

Sure =D, if I can figure out how to get a small smp world thats lagfree (shouldnt be hard if it's small), and we can work it out well =D

[howlgram]

ok, wait a week before you start making the movie, maybe i get a chance to be part of the staff and help you guys! =D !!

[Apv301]

Possibly, but just because it's staff made doesn't mean we won't make another staff movie, or a movie open to everyone.

[dmitchell94]

[howlgram]

Did you make this? It's awesome!

[Apv301]

Heavens no, I found it on funnyjunk lol. Im not that skilled X]

[Time]

Well it's made me come to one conclusion.

Creepers are not large green ▬▬▬▬▬'s. They are obviously some sort of arachnid like insect.

maybe just an alien... oO

[Apv301]

That was odd.. I hit two keys on my computer on accident and it enabled italic... anyways!

I kind of see creepers as more of a... crustacean, at least by that pic lol

[howlgram]

poor creepers, they got too man stereotypes. i see them as normal mammals, just like they look in the game, hehe

[Time]

No mammal self destructs and explodes, dooming all within it's radius. :p

[Viikate]

No mammal self destructs and explodes, dooming all within it's radius. :pThe famous last words...

[Hannan100]

No mammal self destructs and explodes, dooming all within it's radius. :p
Maybe it's some kind of giant termite then? They have suicide bombers. Doesn't explain the D: expression though. Thinking about it, I'd be pretty sad too if I knew I was doomed to asplode whenever there was threat nearby...

[PersonOne]

The Creeper is technically not anything but a creeper. It can't be classified until someone studys it closely. Unfortunately doing that is a little hard...
I think it deserves it's own classification

[howlgram]

No mammal self destructs and explodes, dooming all within it's radius. :p
Neither do insects or crustaceans, hahaha

[Apv301]

Neither do insects or crustaceans, hahaha

Apparantly you never heard of the Aboriginal Screaming Moon Crab of western Australia
http://www.reptilecity.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/mooncrab.jpg

And to quote Notch

The creeper is based on the Aboriginal Moon Crab, as some of you know, however this is in concept only. The creeper is built on a glitched pig design I made.

[howlgram]

omg, really? anyway, those crabs dont explode, im almost sure, haha

[Apv301]

Actually they do, here is the wiki for them
http://en.wikipedia.com/Aboriginal_Moon_Crab (http://mcnews.wikia.com/wiki/Aboriginal_Screaming_Moon_Crab)

[howlgram]

LMAO XD Wow, that was so.... unexpected xD thanks :p i cant belive its true, lol

[Apv301]

Lol told you X], ikr? I was shocked when I found out, but they have some at my local pet shop with their "glands" blocked, apparantly they put wax over certain parts of them so they can't emit the stuff that makes them blow up

[crodude]

Exploding crabs, with suicidal tendencies? Now I've seen everything.

[NERDTUBED]

So you guys really haven't heard of the Aboriginal Moon Crab?
Maaaan! I tried to order one at a fancy restaurant once and boy... I'd rather eat Ghost Chili (Naga Jolokia) from my eyes then to try that again, blood and guts and shit everywhere!
