I recently got back to Minecraft, of course modded, and wanted to know if anyone of you also plays Minecraft besides Train Simulation games. And if so, do you play with mods? do you play with shaders? and most importantly: do you like the wither storm lmao
From time to time. Last times a little longer between October & December to see how mods changed through 2 years when I didn't play it and how Minecraft changed itself (1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.19.x), and a little between February and April to test some non-cubic blocks I modeled & coded for 1.12.2 (to supplement some mods I have there), as also launched like one time 1.18.2 to check the updated TerraFirmaCraft. I think the most I still play in 1.12.2 due to the huge amount of mods not updated or ported to newer versions. No Optifine or shaders, at least in these last iterations, just some nice 32x texture pack which supports plenty of mods.
I played it on Xbox, a lot more so a few years back, I check in occasionally just on a sort of scenic tour of what I’ve spent many hours on.
I play Minecraft on my Xbox. I've got my own private server for with friends and family and I have even made my local mega station Glasgow Central.
I stopped playing a while ago, although I still watch videos of what come in the latest updates. I think I just grew out of it tbh
I have it on switch and playstation. I do have a survival world which hasn't been going too bad lately. Just a pain staking amount of strip mining for not even 10 diamonds. Although I rarely played it last year as I felt it was getting a bit dull.
I own it on so many consoles I've lost track. It was a huge part of my early adolescence, and I always find myself coming back to it now and then. It's a bit harder to get back into nowadays though because of all the new stuff they add with each update. The game is beginning to feel bloated, like they're just adding content for the sake of it.
I do on the Xbox Series X with crossplay on PC version. You need Minecraft Bedrock edition for that. I don't have mods for it but my brother going to NEC Trenton Boston Providence Brown University Railway station has his Java edition modded.
Have a go at Minecraft said the kids so I gave it a go. I was in a valley. I smashed two blocks and took a step forward. I smashed two blocks and took a step forward. I smashed two blocks and took a step forward. I smashed two blocks and took a step forward. I smashed two blocks and took a step forward. I smashed two blocks and took a step forward. I smashed two blocks and took a step forward. I smashed two blocks and took a step forward. I smashed two blocks and took a step forward. I found myself in a flooded underground cavern and drowned. And that is my sum total of having played Minecraft.
That sounds very unlucky mate. You should go back to it though. Explore the creative side a bit to get your bearings. Then go back to survival when you feel ready.
I used to do it alot. No so much now days. I don't have alot of time for it. I used to make all sorts. I've even built Glasgow central station in the game
I used to return to Minecraft at least twice a year to check new mods, create block/entity mods (with both json-blocky and obj-smoothed models) that I needed in my games to extend some of the mods and play for some month or two, but since my nephew saw me playing it and wanted to play himself, I almost completely lost interest, despite creating separate profiles for him. It basically became his game now. Last time I launched it for myself around March a year ago and my nephew just last Friday. Nowadays I only "play" when my nephew wants help with building something, but it feels more like a work than entertainment.
I flatted it out when I was more around 14-16 (7-9 years ago) used to put in 8 hour runs (earphones in and get going). Though a few things mean I haven’t done that recently since around a bit after that time, there was an update which messed up the controls to the point it was making everything take twice as long and really annoying (I hate when games ruin something they could have left alone) then their was the graphics update, that I was looking forward to seeing its effect on my main world, ultimately the update was scrapped. As said above after that I kinda moved on, and only pop on once or less a year, the time and concentration/motivation I had back then was a lot more easier to utilise so to say. I kinda lost the sense of it being worthwhile for how much time is put in since I aged up quite a bit.
damn I forgot I made this thread looks like I forgot about Minecraft itself too, welp, welcome back²!
not if you use mods that add high quality models in it or something, but to me it keeps that Minecraft-y feeling with what I got right now
I do, unfortunately I'm stuck with Bedrock which is... decent ig. Mods are constant battle against Microsoft patching methods to do it on xbox and at a certain point it gets really tiring. They DID recently add official mods to the marketplace but it's just overpriced junk... only a few are actually decent. All of that, slowly pushed me away from minecraft unless I'm making a building project for my friend's roleplay videos or wtvr they need.
I've been loyal to the original Java version of the game since 2011, even despite receiving the "Windows Edition" for free at some point, I think because of owning the Java version. I've known "Bedrock" edition only from its name. I've been playing mostly under Linux, even recently, so Java version is the best for it. Using mods in the Java version wasn't much of the problem until the split between mods released only for Forge or only for Fabric, where some that would play nicely with the other weren't available for the same modloader and required separate profiles/worlds. Additionally, plenty of the mods I've been using still haven't been updated past the 1.12.2 version of Minecraft, but the default launcher allows having multiple versions installed at the same time and game profiles in located separate directories, so I can still launch 1.12.2 with Forge when I want to play with the most complete set of mods in a single game.
I was introduced to Minecraft when it was called 'Minecraft Pocket Edition' I did a variety of things, blew things up in creative, little bit of survival, Skyblock, servers, the lot! I found the most enjoyable part to be redstone (mainly trying to get some easy Java redstone contraptions to work in Bedrock). In the last week I have come back to it, and have just finished making a semi-automatic minecart signalling system with emergency blocks and manual overrides as well. The trains can never escape me!
I have seen my grandson playing this game, a fair bit at one point, but I have never really understood the aim or purpose of it. Of course this could just be because I haven't seen him play it long enough, but would someone be able to enlighten me on the aim of the game please!
Up to you. There is a final boss, but it is optional. You could just build in Creative mode (which is basically sandbox mode) or play minigames with friends. The goal is up to you!
I only play Minecraft for creative mode. I find it therapeutic. that being said though it has been a very long time since I last played it…
It’s a hard game to sum up to be honest, it’s where the limits are meant to be your imagination. Build whatever you want, and go wherever you want survival mode requires a focus on combat survival and resource gathering to do that, creative gives you unlimited resources and removes death by combat and surviving from the aims to give maximum focus on a build or several things don’t build quick on console, your stuff builds up over time, what you put in is what you get out, PC can copy and paste which saves a lot of time. want to build the titanic or your own thing, well off you go your the builder & planner
Interesting, so it is essentially a building game, with a few extra bits added to it. I assume you can build things with your mates as well which actually does sound like a decent concept.
There is also a "peaceful" difficulty option which makes the game not focused on combat at all, but only on resource gathering. There are some resources not available there normally due them being received from killing hostile "monsters" (some can be traded from villagers or found in chests), but it can be played this way, too.
yea, online and split screen for console, or of course single player without needing online, I presume the same for PC.
I haven't seen split screen, only stereoscopic split (for red/blue glasses). The last time I played it online with friends around 2014 and only single player since, but I guess people still play it online.
I presumed it would be the same as console to allow split screen, though I’m pretty sure they’re was a TV size restriction for it or something like that.
