>game punishes you if you aren't constantly paranoid and glancing over your shoulder
Is this good game design, in retrospect?

>>723684037 (OP)
Just bring a cat with you, pussy.

>>723684037 (OP)
Yes

>>723684037 (OP)
I think Creeper's are bad game design because they fucking ruin environments over time by leaving craters.

>>723684037 (OP)
Yes
I miss when Endermen would steal your blocks

Creepers aren't really that hard to deal with compared to any MP game

>>723684037 (OP)
Don't explore at night and bring torches when cave splunking.

You'll be fine.

>>723684159
a game map filled with imperfections like creeper craters are a mark that the game world has lots of love and time put into it

if you dont like them, literally play creative, as you dont understand what they bring to the game in terms of obstacles as well as aesthetics.

>>723684179
that pisses me off. endermen were less annoying that creepers but they thought they were too much and nerfed them to hell.
I miss when just passing your reticle over them at near any distance was enough to set them off

>>723684483
why is this always the go-to argument for you faggots?
>"oh you don't like monsters that make holes everywhere? well then play with NO monsters at ALL..."
it's an incredibly childish argument. like toddler throwing a tantrum level.

>>723684037 (OP)
blast protection?
water bucket?
cats?
playing a modded version where creepers are the LEAST of your worries?
boats?

>>723684832
i think that trying to exert total control over the world is a) futile and b) childish. let it happen - it will not kill you

>>723684103
I fuck that cat so I stay too busy if i bring

Creepers can save your ass if you drop into a cavern or get caught out after sundown. I have my reasons to hate them but they belong in the game

>>723685006
>"I don't like that there are monsters that just put big ugly holes in everything"
>"OH so you just wanna exert TOTAL control over the WHOLE world, hm???'

The creeper would be perfect if it rhythmically screamed. It would solve all of it's problems instantly and make it a spookier enermy.

>>723684037 (OP)
The mod pack I'm playing makes them do no environmental damage, and instead they explode for damage and spawn like 5 smaller creepers that also explode.
I can say that I don't miss all the fucking holes everywhere, or rage quitting when one blows several chests up when I accidentally leave my door open

>>723684037 (OP)
the fear of the creeper helps men understand what it's like to be a woman in the current year

These fuckers spawn in full daylight and nothing personal kid you

There eventually were cats added, but until then they were why you save scummed

i suddenly have the urge to pirate minecraft again and install some completely fukt modpack and ragequit after 5 hours when it gets too complicated

>>723686152
you could pirate vintage story and save yourself the extra steps

>>723686210
but anon... i already own vintage story

>>723685614
They spawn only in places where the sunlight don't reach.

Cliff overhang casting a shadow? Be wary of that shit.

>>723684037 (OP)
beds unironically ruined the game.

>>723686359
No they didn’t. I saw your dumbass posting last night about this. You want to walk back home? Fucking do it homeboy. Walk on home boy.

No one makes you make a bed. No one makes you make a bed. Number one complaint about this game is phantoms. The addition of phantoms fucked this games ass and required you to make a bed and sleep in it.

>>723686279
minecraft at home

>>723686447
Classic, I haven't heard that in a decade.

>>723686447
Cringe kino.

Was totally expecting creeper porn.

>>723686592
Yeah retard it's almost like if beds didn't exist phantoms wouldn't even exist either huh

>>723684037 (OP)
Yes, they're unironically the only good mob in the game.

>>723684037 (OP)
yeah it's the ultimate test of conquering your environment. you can't truly be safe until you're absolutely certain the bane of your existence cannot possibly spawn in anywhere in your fiefdom.

>>723687119
By that logic if the fucking game didn’t exist there wouldn’t be beds

You brain dead brown skinned faggot

>>723684159
I actually think it would be cool if NPCs did more to the environment. Like endermen building random effigies out of random materials, villagers building new houses, maybe a mob that burrows underground etc

>>723684832
the actual answer is to just turn off mob griefing
creepers will still be more than capable of killing you, but you won't have to carry around a stack of dirt every time you leave the house

Creepers are great because they can instantly ruin a hardcore world unless you're a minmaxing autist who hates fun

>>723687381
Shit like this is why I can't stand playing games like minecraft with other people.
they always wanna minmax and automate fucking every single little thing
dood look at my iron farm it makes 12 gorillion ingots per hour
dood i built a trading hall you'll never have to find a village again

sucks the little enjoyment I get out of it

>>723684037 (OP)
I just hate dropping everything if you die.

>>723685081
>Creepers can save your ass if you drop into a cavern or get caught out after sundown.

I would like an explanation.

>>723684159
fuck off pussy, they are the perfect enemy in a game that is all about building

>>723687558
It's a sandbox game. It's optional.

>>723688178
hence 'with other people'
read, nigga

>>723688248
And? It's a sandbox game.

>>723684103
I dont play nu-Minecraft

>>723684037 (OP)
>Is this good game design, in retrospect?
Yes.

>>723687558
to be fair a lot of the time if you want to build anything of any scale, having infinite iron for minecarts and rails is pretty important. you arent ever gonna match the efficiency of an iron farm with any enchanted gear because you can do both at the same time.

trading hall is also basically mandatory if you want more than a single good enchantment on any item, and the most important one for at least 7, if not just arguably all tools (mending).
plus it gives you another building to build that you can make aesthetic because it has a ton of different villagers living in it together, so you can make like, long houses, apartments, etc

>>723686279
but did you play it and ragequit after you had to knap some flint?

/gamerule mobGriefing false

>>723684037 (OP)
yes
teaches you about life

>>723684832
>baby goes "wah wah"

>>723688145
Ironically it's virtually impossible for creepers to ever seriously harm your build without your direct input.

>>723684037 (OP)

Phantoms are so retarded

>heh.. it's called a CHALLENGE, faggot.... win/loss conditions are part of the game!
>fills in hole
>fills in hole
>fills in hole
>fills in hole

It's perfect game design that compliments that games core aesthetic and blocky design

>>723691495
if its that big of a problem then invest in this

>>723691495
If only there was some way to prevent creepers from blowing up, like if you could kill them or something. Nah, can't be that, that'd involve playing the game

>>723684037 (OP)
Vanilla is pretty boring. I don't know why they never added the ability for zombies to bust down doors and basic blocks like wood and dirt.
Also, make nights scarier and harder to navigate through and add an option to not be able to skip it by sleeping in a bed.

>>723684037 (OP)
>he doesn't have the spatial awareness to see the giant lime green dildo man walking around

>>723684037 (OP)
Can't say I've had a single creeper explode in the last 400h of my world

>>723684037 (OP)
creepers are a non-issue once you figure mobs can't spawn when you spam torches or abuse slabs

also, use the shield and wear armor, use bows/water buckets, retard
>>723684103
cats are worthless, taming in general in mincraft is tedious.
>>723691932
Zombies can bust down doors in hard mode but they hardly ever do it unless they had line of sight before they used to fuck up villages but an update fucked that I think.

>>723684891
>playing a modded version where creepers are the LEAST of your worries?
tfw the infested cobblestone water prison creeper somehow managed to sneak it's way into the middle of my base

>>723684037 (OP)
>>game punishes you if you have the attention span of a toddler
Yes

>>723684037 (OP)
So what modpack is the spookiest? I'm kind of tired of playing Fear Nightfall and want to try something new and fresh.
Hopefully with the movie out there are more people trying to create new modpacks.

>>723686592
My number one complaint is that the game is being managed by retards who prioritize pretty colors over actual gameplay.

>microsoft locked me out of my account for no reason
>wants my phone number to unlock it

What the fuk is this shit?!?

>>723684037 (OP)
Nigga just lay down some torches.

>hear hiss
>punch it and walk the other way
>doesn't explode
????
I don't see why people seethe about this thing so much, do your brains function in slow mo?

>>723694396
>mine a cave for 4 hours straight with no enemy encounters
>suddenly hear a hiss behind me
>I'm somehow supposed to instantly react as if I've been on edge and expecting it the entire time

Creepers should make footstep sounds.

>>723694614
They do make footstep sounds. It's just very quiet.

>>723688501
kinda wild how minecraft has been nu-craft longer than it was ever real minecraft

>>723694614
>he's not a part of the aim community
git gud

>>723684037 (OP)
Creepers are only a vague threat before you get a set of armor. Just stop being a retard, or gear up quick.

>>723694984
Don't they one shot you from the back even with armor?

>>723695193
That's not even a mechanic. Where did you get that silly idea from?

>>723686447
somewhat sad now since I girl I thought was cute and would listen to minecraft music with in high school ended up pink (or blue?) pilling and became a tranny

>>723684037 (OP)
...do you not have ears?
hear explosion happening -> just fucking move a few steps forward, is this truly so hard?
or just turn around and use the "haha I'm literally invincible" shield

>>723684159
>waaah this game is too hard for me!!
I thought you guys were "gamers"?

I only started playing minecraft again recently. last time i played it i dont think the shield was in the game

Ive died to them once on like day 3 when i let one in the house by accident and since then ive been walking directly at them to tank the pop with the shield. why is this a thread. am i going to start seeing threads one day about how having to jump on chargin chucks more than once in mario is poor game design?

>>723696432
anon the creeeper has always been universally reviled.
have you forgotten that the most popular minecraft animation for awhile was one where steve beats and rapes a creeper?

>>723684037 (OP)
it's incredibly based
"gamers" have gotten soft these days, a consequence of pandering to women

>>723684037 (OP)
They aren't that bad dude

>>723696581
shame they nerfed endermen and zombies so they could appeal to the le heckin wholesome chungus crowd.

How would you fix creepers?

>>723684159
As opposed to you ruining the environment by yourself?

What are some mods that will make me feel less lonely? I hate playing sandbox games in single player

>>723697093
creepers are fine as is, there are far worse that need to be fixed in that game, like enchanting, potions, phantoms, rails, mud bricks, etc.

>>723697265
there's probably a ton of villager or follower mods

>>723686597
>minecraft at home
No, that's Luanti, and Luanti is pretty good now, actually. Hades Revisited and Asuna are pretty nice. You like deep caves? I've been down to -10,000 depth in Asuna and there seems to be no end to it.

>>723697270
Idk I feel like there's room for improvement

>>723688501
It's been a thing since 1.2.1

>>723696119
boss baby vibes

>>723684037 (OP)
I would really like the mega torch mod to become a part of vanilla, if only to let me design buildings with ambience without creating a mob switch. It could require the dragon egg for all I care.

>>723684037 (OP)
This is a game for literal children, anon

>>723697265
LittleMaid. They can fight, guard, heal, cook, shear wool, place torches, and blow stuff up. You can carry one on your back.

>>723698250
any good villager mods you recommend? I like the idea of building and protecting a village for a bunch of little guys but the villagers in minecraft are the opposite of lovable. I hate their faces and I hate their squidward noises and I hate their AI most of all

>>723698587
Millenaire mostly revolves around you gathering blocks and items for human villagers so they can expand and better defend their home. Bandits assault it from time to time, and neighboring villages can even wage war if they're in a bad relationship. You can start wars yourself IIRC, I haven't tried that though. Villagers have different cultures and nationalities, and that reflects on how they and their buildings look, so variety is good.
>I hate their faces and I hate their squidward noises
Human Era is a 1.8.9+ resource pack that makes them human. I prefer to treat them as another race, personally.

>>723684037 (OP)
TF2 is like this if there's a good spy on the enemy team. If you aren't schizophrenically spinning in circles while you walk to the front lines you WILL die

>>723698008
what beacons should've been

I liked the pixies in RLCraft Dregora that steal your shit and fly off with it, so you have to slaughter the entire forest and break all their little pixie homes to figure out where they stashed your item

>>723701409
you can't just correct them aggressively?

>>723697265
From The Fog

>>723685125
isn't that the only obstacle whatsoever in minecraft?

>>723697892
anything post beta 1.7 is numinecraft

>>723699453
This mod was great, shame its discord got shut down by tranny drama now the developer doesn't want to continue working on it

>>723684037 (OP)
I play with mobGriefing=false and keepInventory=true cause it's more fun for me like that

>>723702570
real minecraft is 1.0 release, everything before it was dogshit and everything after is kino

>>723704691
you are a fucking pussy

>>723704691
Grow up

Games about building and combat should have monsters that can destroy the things you build.

>>723705220

people are just stupid, i feel like im the only person on earth who cares about light level, thank god its easier now

I mean yeah.. theres a lot of that in Sonic

>>723688501
>beta 1.7.3 was 14 years ago
On one hand, Minecraft looks exceptionally gay now, on the other hand it's shocking how little work Microsoft has done

Skeletons are worse.

It's not even hard to prevent creepers from fucking your shit up. I don't mind a crater or two near my house to remind me of the things I've dealt with as i play and i can't remember the last time one really fucked my shit up because it's so easy to prevent

>>723705876
Thats literally what the Sonic games do. Even stage hazards do this, too.

>>723705876
Yeah, Sonic is a game about completing obstacle courses as fast as you can.
Obstacle courses feature obstacles.
Obstacles impede your progress and slow you down.

>>723707936
They really are. If you don't have a shield you're basically dead

>>723707936
>can’t be approached without a shield

I hate it

>>723704614
>discord got shut down by tranny drama
Context? What drama could shutter a mod like this?

>>723684103
Toxotransmosis moment

>>723709095
tl;dr

>group of trannies who are known for being in the 'nostalgic minecraft mod' scene offers to help kinniken (millennaire mod author) test/port his mod for newer version of minecraft
>one of the trannies who was a beta tester commits suicide due to supposed unrelated harassment they were receiving, writes super long suicide note blaming a bunch of people
>basically every discord they were involved in got shut down

If you join the Witchery mod server you can still see the memorial post up. Trannies ruin everything. At least the old millenniare is still fun to play

>>723697093
make them louder and easier to hear once they spot you
reduce the blast radius on blocks, filling back the terrain is a pain

>>723697093
make creepers tameable and breedable

>>723684179
That reminded me when enderman broke my autofarm this way.
>what a fucking nigger
I though.

Minecraft used to be a horror game so back then yes
Now?
No

No I think the creeper is good game design, horrible game design would be the new devs for minecraft lol.

a game about building, there should be an adversary for building not just gay fag tree puppet that guards a dumb ass biome that you go in for 20 seconds to get the new item so you can craft ender doodles!

>>723684037 (OP)
don't mine at night

>>723710216
>Minecraft used to be a horror game
maybe if you were 4

>>723688051
They're a convenient AOE you can use when you get ganked by like 12 zombies at once. Saves you time and weapon durability in exchange for a hit to your armor, especially early game.

>>723684037 (OP)
NEVER RELAX is great life advice actually

I a lot of people hate the lost souls in doom but everyone agree they’re an important part of the experience.

yes it is it actually is amazing game design

>Teleports into your base no matter how secure it is
>Takes one block
>Lets livestock out/breaks a redstone contraption/floods your base
>Have to spend 10 minutes cleaning up the mess caused by their griefing

>>723684460
How many times I have to say
drop the pick and walk away

>>723707936
This. Creepers are nbd because you can hear the hiss, immediately turn around, bash it and call it a day. Skellingtons snipe your ass from like 40 blocks away and you have to figure out where the fuck it is before it kills you. This gets exponentially worse as you get more skeletons and those fags almost always show up in packs of 2-3. You can't even pick up the arrows they shoot if you aren't tanking that shit with a shield.

>>723684460
But can I mine at night?

>>723697093
>their explosions no longer destroy blocks
>they no longer drop gunpowder, don't want to give kids any wrong ideas

>>723684159
nigga just fill the holes with dirt

>>723687558
I just wish the farms were more smoothly integrated or some kind of alternative was made. Always felt like I was abusing the system whenever i built them.

>>723712139
Don't build sensitive shit out of shovel-tier blocks.
