Notch Pumping Air Into Minecraft's Sky Dimension

[Logic 0]

At last I can recreate the world of FF6 using minecraft only.

I am seriously, seriously hoping that he makes the top of the sky a portal to this place. THAT would be awesome.

You could have towers that extend into the sky dimension. It would look a little odd (since you wouldn't see the bottom of the tower), but it really feels like the charmingly weird sort of thing you'd expect of Minecraft.

It seems that Notch literally cannot win here.

Makes the mod official?
OH WOW JUST USING MODS NOW NOTCH? YOU LAZY BASTARD!

Doesn't use the mod, and instead makes his own version?
WHY ARE YOU NOT USING THE MOD THE MOD IS BETTER STOP RIPPING OFF THEIR IDEAS NOTCH!

Decides to just not incorporate sky worlds?
WHY ARE YOU NOT PUTTING THESE IN NOTCH WHY ARE YOU SUCH A LAZY GIT THESE WOULD BE GREAT!

The man could walk across water, and people would complain about how he's taking money away from ferrymen.

Thank you.

Personally, I think he should create a sky realm that deviates from the Aether in several key ways, so only the most anal-retentive complainers will complain.

 

[lacktheknack]

I wonder where he got that idea from [http://wiki.terrariaonline.com/Floating_Islands]

Probably from when he did it back in Indev.

I find it hilarious that a game of so little that is popular for so much is being outpaced by the mods of people not employed to create the game.

Give it up.

Give what up? He can't keep up with the THOUSANDS of talented modders that are modding the game. That would be like me giving you a big whack of paint, and telling you to paint a building attractively, then saying "Oh, by the way, we're letting a few hundred bored people paint the next building over however they want to. Your job is to paint all their designs on your building before they do."

When you can do that, THEN you can comment on the hilarity of Notch not working 65 hours a day.

Oh, wow, wait, don't care.

I guess it's better then lightning. Still waiting on ore and creature expansion.

I got all excited when I read your post about all the stuff it has. Then I searched it on youtube and saw that it was 2d. And you think that's better?
To each their own I suppose....

Well, yeah I prefer the 2D, it suits the features of the game, its like an old school RPG feel.
Anyway if you buy Terraria expecting it to be 2D Minecraft you will be dissapointed.

He'd rather get the big influential parts implemented first, as any good dev would.

 

[shaboinkin]

He should make SpaceCraft with gravity and spherical planets and crap. And you gotta build your own ship to get off and explore other worlds.
Planet X would be rich a certain mineral where as Planet Y would be rich in another type...
Different planets would contain different alien life (might have to start recycling)
Make the stars giant balls of lava.


Hey, that sounds like an interesting concept.
Modders! Get to work!

Tall Poppy Syndrome.

At least he cares for his customers, the only thing you can really fault the guy for is not realising that he has literally millions of fans and you can't treat that number the same as three or four guys.

Now, I'm not complaining. I think it's awesome that Notch is taking ideas from the community. I just hope he has at least as much planned as they do with the Aether mod, or he's going to get upstaged by his own fans.

Looks like someone's taken a look at Terraria's floating islands, and thought "I like the look of those..."

Having played terraria exclusively for the past week since release, I have to say I agree 100%. Terraria not only has the polish, but more content then you can wave a stick at. And it's the main thing that's lacking in Minecraft.

*Double post, my bad

 

[steeple]

holy hell, we could make a first person netstorm!

Anyone wanna build Zeal already? It's been begging to be built.

OH MY GOD YES. But we'd need portals to go from wintrywonderland to zeal. anyone who can replicate the elemental book-switch for da secret door? Should the ocean palace also be included? how would the giant elevator work? We would also need diagonals. Ocean palace. Lots of diagonals. IT'S A LOGISTIC NIGHTMARE.

OT: already created my own floating island, with lots of TNT. it's a pain to make the bottom look pretty again though.

 

[weirdee]

Two words:

sky creepers.

 

[lord.jeff]

Wait a minute he took the idea of floating islands from Terraria, I'll ignore the fact that floating islands our nothing unique to either game, and instead point out that Terraria got released 4 days ago, it takes a lot longer then that to develop a new feature for a game.

I'm looking forward to this update, hopefully I'll get to see some new blocks and ores in the sky realm.

 

[Davey Woo]

I already get the occasional floating island type thing in my games, though they are usually only seperated from the top of a mountain by a couple of blocks.

Don't most people ust build giant floating stuff in the sky anyway?

 

[Thedutchjelle]

At first I was "yeaaa" , but now I agree with some comments I've seen on other forums:

Instead of making completely new dimensions, it would be way more awesome if he could fit them in the current one by extending the maximum height and depth. It would possibly require a engine overhaul, but the end effect would be far more awesome than this, imo.

Logistical nightmare it may be, but it MUST HAPPEN.
In fact, I'm going to start planning it.

Also, On the Glacier seed, I hollowed out the large-ish flying island near spawn and made it into a castle. a flying castle. It was excellent.
