    So I bought the game for my son. . .

    With regards to modding... I follow Direwolf20's YouTube channel, and today he published a "spotlight" video today about the Minecraft Curse client: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf2y1D8wMdU This new launcher looks like it will greatly simplify downloading modpacks, creating custom modpacks...

    So I bought the game for my son. . .

    You could also surround your building with a "moat" about 2-3 blocks wide, and erect a fence on your side of the moat. Creepers that blow up in water do not destroy any terrain (the water absorbs the blast), so even if they were to jump up next to the fence, you could knock them back into the...

    So I bought the game for my son. . .

    Optifine, as others have mentioned, is a nice mod to have. One of the perks is you can hold down CTRL (or whatever key you bind the command to) to zoom your view - as if you were looking through binoculars. Great for seeing if that thing in the distance is a cow or a zombie. FastCraft has...

    Anyone playing

    I've said it before: I'm neither talented nor particularly interested in constructing large architectural designs. I also don't see the need to join a server just to go off on my own and build my own camp, village, castle, whatever. I can do that in single-player. The current server appears...

    New World!

    Last time I checked, the /home command worked to teleport you to the location you were at when you used /sethome. You can also use /tpa <player> to ask to be teleported to a player, who can then /tpaccept or /tpdeny your request.

    New World!

    According to the residence wiki (http://uberminecraft.wikia.com/wiki/Residence_Tutorial), the flag should be "creeper", not "creepers". Try using that. I think the concept of "abuse" means don't create a massive residence for no purpose. If you're building (or plannning to build) a 500x500...

    Same-Computer Multiplayer

    Magicka? I've heard good things, but haven't played it beyond a quick glimpse. According to Steam, it supports Local Co-op and has Full Controller Support. Trine is also one I've heard good things about, but again, haven't played it personally. You might also consult the following list and...

    Scouting Report #1 I journeyed across the sea to the southeast (600 clicks east and 150 clicks south), and discovered a land of diverse resources and possibilities. The area boasts natural fungus vegetation, large wooded areas, and I have already located a variety of stone, including granite...

    Community Project Sound off

    Count me in. I'm a hunter/gatherer/crafter. I'm not a designer, but given a blueprint or example (not a concept), I can bring it to life.

    Community Idea

    With regard to mods - I fully expect to be playing on a vanilla map, and that's just fine. I looked over the poll thread again, and I saw two comments related to mods: The mods I last suggested (Chisel, Carpenter's Blocks) are minor aesthetic/cosmetic mods that add new block textures...

    Community Idea

    Re: population - people can pull "double-duty", working both as logger and carpenter, or miner and mason. The concept is to create designated areas for each "profession", theming them appropriately. If we're doing an organic build, it would stand to reason that a logging camp might start as a...

    Community Idea

    I love the idea of a community build. I'm not architecturally gifted, but if I have a blueprint, I can follow it. If I know what resources are needed, I'll assist in getting them. I would take it a step further, and build the city "organically". Form up teams: - a logger's camp, responsible...

    Time for a restart?

    I've not been active on the ToJ MC servers in quite some time, so I don't know how much weight my thoughts will carry; however, since I was asked to explain why, here goes: I believe that vanilla and modded minecraft servers provide a draw for two different types of people: - Vanilla servers...

    From the mind of Tek (You've been warned)

    Regarding the Verse of the Day - ever thought about moving that into a blog? Most blogs support the ability to write an article and schedule it to post in the future, so Sunday's VotD could be queued on Friday/Saturday, alleviating that weekend stress. Additionally, if an entire theme or...

    Who's still active?

    I'm siding with Aleron - I've been doing the GW2 thing mostly. WvW has been pretty good, but there's so much more to do (I'm a completionist, and those new collection achievements are calling me). I gave SWTOR a brief romp, and it looked ok, but it didn't grab me. I even tried ArcheAge, and...

    Feed The Beast

    Been a while... any news on the server? If it's down for good, that's fine - I just want to know whether I should keep checking. I hope all is well with your connection - I can't imagine what life would be like unplugged! Sad, isn't it?

    I'm getting kicked a lot tonight myself. Not sure why either.

    I tried to get on last night, but the server wasn't responding. I don't recall what time it was - maybe around 7:00 pm EDT? FYI - you can take the carrots and potatoes, and craft them in a 3x3 grid to get a bag - compressing them in a 9:1 ratio. This is a reversible process. Might help with...

    Feed The Beast

    Well, that explains why I couldn't connect the other day! No worries - these things happen. And I've got about a dozen other games in my backlog that are begging for attention. It's definitely a lot easier to wrap your head around FTP if you focus on 1-2 mods at a time. While they all play...
