There’s a zombie… oh and 3 creepers.. and a skeleton in the distance. The bright side is the skeleton hasn’t noticed me yet. This was quite a risky screenshot to take with so much death and destruction closing in on me. It’s kind of a “where’s your god, now?” moment.
With a little bit of spare time, my sister and I decided that for the next little project we should make a flag. Here are some screenshots of the results of the Dutch flag with the orange banner at the top of the pole.
In this multi-player world we’ve built this artificial fields and some awesome stairs that lead down to it. On the right you can see the reed farming operations and the automatic cactus farm behind it.
Giant mushrooms are a pretty cool addition to Minecraft. It’s an alternative to traditional farming and they really help to mark the landscape. Besides a rumored secret mushroom biome, they are not naturally occurring. To grow a giant mushroom of either type you just need to bonemeal a small one.
Maybe there’s something glitchy with spawn points in later versions of Minecraft or Notch and the boys are just being dicks, but spawning in the middle of a damn ocean really adds another level of difficulty to the game.
The world generation algorithms have changed from before version 1.8 until now and not a single f**k was given about the transition between the terrain generated in older versions of Minecraft and the new terrains. Previously unloaded chunks will end abruptly causing visual mind stabs like seen here in the screenshots.
Terrain generation in Minecraft version 1.8 gives us bigger biomes and more interesting landscapes than before. Here we can see a weird looking mountian in the center of the view.
Instead of sections of the landscape turning to darker lighting modes, the colors change gradually in this leaked release of Minecraft version 1.8. When the sun rises and sets the colors change and provide for greater atmospheric impacts.
Not only are there beautiful mountainous terrains, you’ll also find rolling rills and fields that stretch out in the leaked release of Minecraft version 1.8.
Along side grandiose mountains, cliffs and ravines you’ll also find rivers snaking their way through the Minecraft landscape. At the moment, rivers do not actually flow, but they are a very pleasing feature in terms of appearance and they help making the landscape more realistic.
