Minecraft 1.0
Dec. 9th, 2011 02:31 pmI touched on it briefly with the last entry, but goldPseudo's minecraft server is now running 1.0. We've already found damned near all the new stuff as well including:
1 Abandoned mines. These things are about as common as normal caves in new chunks. I've already completely cleared a couple out.
2. NPC Villages. We've found a bunch, although there's only perhaps 3 or so that we've really set up residence in so far. My own village, which I called New Fort since I built it up extensively, is actually near....
3. Strongholds. Looking at the cave map you can pretty much pinpoint a stronghold once you know what you're looking for. One stronghold that we investigated and cleared out is only a 1 minute trip to the south-west of my village.
4. Ender portals. That stronghold has a portal room which we activated and stepped into. To get out you have to kill the ender dragon, which john managed to do. Prior to him going in, I spam-charged into the end portal a few dozen times and took out all of the dragon's regen towers.
5. Nether Dungeons. Found a couple. The first is actually mostly buried so the blazes weren't nearly as big as a problem since they were limited on where they could fly. Fairly easy to sit around there and kill blazes for blaze rods. Managed to get netherwart from the second one, since in the first one I fell into lava on the way back with all the netherwart. >_>;;
We now have a LOT of nethewart growing in a farm.
6. Brewing. With the netherwart and blaze rods we have the tools to start brewing potions. We've been brewing plenty, mostly at the new XP Farm.
7. I trapped a zombie dungeon near Main Station to serve as a xp farm. The mobs spawn, are mobavatored up so high then dropped using the same style of trap Coestar has rigged up. The resulting mobs only require 2 punches to kill. And the store switch makes it possible to have 70 or so dropped in front of you at a time. A brewing stand and potion storage room are set up to give people something to do while they wait.
8. Enchanting. Lots of fun, especially with an efficient XP farm. With the success of this farm I might alter the set up of the first XP farm next to the grinder at some point.
9. Mushroom biome. Found one in the middle of the ocean not far from a nether portal created near the nether dungeon. Using a silk touch golden pick, I harvested a bunch of mycelium "grass" blocks and brought them back to main. The Portal Island is now entirely mycelium rather than grass.
We've seen all the new mobs at this point, and I think we've gotten all of the new items. I approve of the new way armor works.
