News from Notch
So it’s the first working day of the year, and we’ve got two more people in the office now. Carl Manneh and Tobias Möllstam. And we’ve got the entire office as well now.
AND.. just a few minutes ago, I found out that Minecraft got three nominations for the Independent Games Festival (Grand Prize, Technical Excellence, and Excellence In Design). So this means I definitely will be going to the GDC this year! :D
On Wednesday, we’ll have a strategy meeting of sorts and try to work out some vague plans and try to decide how to drive Minecraft beta development and try to define what the finished game will actually be. We won’t start work on modding or anything like that before then.
But! We (especially Jens) have added a bunch of new content to Minecraft that we want to get out asap, so there will be a content patch update next week with a whole pile of fun new toys, including a water mob and quite possibly paint if we can figure out how exactly it should work.
(Oh, and Minecraft will hit 1 million sales soon, and I have NO idea how to celebrate that! There’s no time to plan anything!)
WATER MOBS? Im not sure how I feel about that, might be interesting...And paint sounds pretty cool, I wonder what else.

Dammit......and I was just getting around to making that underwater base too.
Except I was pretty much invincible and had dozens of every resource in the game. Plus the most mineral/resource rich area I've ever seen and a sweet surface to bedrock tunnel. Plus everything torched out and literal miles of obsidian. AAAAAAAAAAND guess what? My save file got deleted. So Notch until you fix all the bugs and make saves a little more secure.

No....but I'm hoping that maybe I can retrieve it somehow. It got erased after I cleared all my browsing data on google chrome. Even though I played all that on the downloaded version I have.

I think I read something about like a file called oldlevel.dat in the minecraft saves folder, Im not sure though....I hope you can retrieve it somehow, there are some guides on minepedia or whatever that forum is called.
I had my first world deleted, it really sucks.

I normally doesn't suck for me but this time I actually made PROGRESS. (It felt so good, I WANT MORE.) I was going to make the underwater base you wanted too. :T_T:

Hmm, since we're on that topic, how do you backup saves? Do you just take them from the Minecraft folder and place them somewhere else?

There are programs and stuff that make it easier, but all I do is create a desktop folder called SAVES, go to my minecraft folder, go to bin I think, go to saves, and just copy the WORLD# folder to my SAVES folder.....And if you want to have a clear point in game easily, you can always rename the save to a different thing, and make it a different world.

It doesn't really matter, you can just pay for one, it doesn't cost too much.

Yes, great idea.
I'm sure someone will chip in their money to get constant lag on a game :)

Yeah, I cant do that.
Sorry about the thread lately, Ive been kinda sick and doing homework and just surfing nation, its been kinda bleh. And now I kinda have a migraine and its bugging the hell out of me, my eye feels like its gonna implode, but Im gonna find what I have to update...
And opinions about the mod section, before I do anything I want to know what I should do with that.
