Minecraft

Why, thank you! Both for the bug report, and for the kind comment.

I made sheep!

Why is limited FPS 130, while it should be 60, uncapped it can go to 500 so it kind of works.

The frame rate limiter is actually just a thread.sleep(5) in the main loop. I could cap at 60, but then people with 75 or 100 hz monitors would get upset at me, so I’ll leave it as is until I get around to checking the display mode refresh speed.

It’s a shame vsynch doesn’t work well in windowed mode.

3D Red Green Anaglyph mode. I weep tears of joy. Seriously.

Glad you like it! :smiley:

I try to play the game (both in survival and creative mode) but while all packages load ok, in the end I get the message alert:
org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated
and the applet won’t work any more.

I run this on a low-end p4 (2.8) 500MB RAM winxp-sp3 machine with a simple VGA graphics driver.

You need to have OpenGL support in order to run the game, the simple VGA graphics driver is unlikely to support this. You should work out which graphics card you have and try a proper driver for it.

Hi, whenever I open minecraft it loads ok, generates the terrain and everything, but when the level starts playing and the applet grabs the mouse everything starts to sping around wildly and the cursor is stuck to the right side of the monitor. I am unable to move the cursor because the game keeps it stuck to the right. The only way to have control back is to press escape and enter the menu, then the mouse is released and everything works ok. Return to the game and it gets broken again.

I am running on linux ubuntu 10.04, java 1.6u20, nvidia 9600gt using two monitors

I am always running java games using jinput in this machine and this is the only game that has this problem.
Also, this is not something that happens only in the latest version, I have tried the game over the past months and it is always the same :(.

I really love the idea of the game, it is sad that the game hates my machine. :stuck_out_tongue:

Here’s an idea.

In your next upgrade, make sky out of white cubes.

Allow players to “reach the sky” by building a staircase to heaven, where they can then build a sky city! :slight_smile:

You mean like this? ::slight_smile:

Can you build on top of the sky?

From what I’ve seen, you can build above the clouds.

yup its possible.

e.g. pic1 (warning large pic)

That’s just nuts!! ;D

nice, all the work/build made by the Minecraft community are all just amazing

o_O

This just raises further questions! How did they create the picture, and what method are you using to determine those shadows?

Minecraft never ceases to amaze me. ;D

to be honest I’m not sure how its done, markusp should know though :slight_smile:

heres another type of view that was posted on the blog a few weeks back

just saw new minecraft video, tis looking pretty good

video demonstrates minecrafts infinite maps generator.

I’m really impressed by what people can do only with a few different square. Let’s forget about polygon the future is in square :).

I finally bought it, even though it’s unlikely I’ll play it too much. :slight_smile:

But I gotta support fellow JGOers.
