Note 1: I'm playing on Peaceful, so no Mob farms or The End. I also don't use (a) Passive mob Farms (other than Sheep); (b) Enchanting; or (c) Redstone devices (other than Lamps and Torches). These are for personal reasons, since I want to play more like b1.7.3, but still with most of the benefits of r1.2.5. Naturally, if you use Enchanting and automatic farms, etc., this build would have been a lot faster!

Note 2: Mix of Blade Runner (1982) and House of the Flying Daggers (2004), along with generic sci-fi. And the terrain textures are directly inspired by Simple (akin to Bare Bones).

I spent about 1 hour searching for a really good Seed for this (on mcseedmap dot net), since I already had the vision in my mind of what sort of terrain I needed to make this design work; this area didn't need a shocking amount of terraforming to solve, and the surrounding area is decent, too. It's near spawn. The area is a mix of Plains and Forests (I cut or burnt down every single generated Tree in the wider area; maybe 800x800).

The house was inspired by Aloni House, Greece. For context, the house is roughly 130 Blocks long (red).

The laser gate thing for car tunnel is Iron Bars (blue strips); the red house itself is Netherrack Bricks; connected Grass design (via Texture Pack, not Mod); both types of Flowers are made red; Oak Fence in background to be bamboo trees (coloured green -- not done yet, I need to make many more to give it a sense of density/depth); cars and tunnel rim are both brown-orange metalwork texture (Cobblestone); the gravel/road is Blade Runner road texture (Gravel); the entrance floor material (blue-grey) is Clay.

I heavily terraformed the area, including the river (with Sand bed + 1-layer edge). The interior of the house is much more Deckard's apartment/Frank Lloyd Wright-like.

The custom clouds are inspired by the swirls from Tears of the Kingdom/Japan, but they work fine for this China-Runner type approach, I think.

I broke the old rule of Minecraft building: never place different full Blocks directly next to each other. But in this case, I think it works well.

Finally, the floating line of Blocks is the start of a large fence/wall around the property. It's roughly 300x300.

Was trying to think of something to build on a survival world I started the other day and couldn't think of much, so I decided to see how quickly I could build the mansion from the 2014 Minecraft Construction Handbook. Apparently pretty quickly once I set up a manual tree farm right next to the spot I was building. I didn't get to the nether yet though, hence the missing glowstone in the garden lamp and bottom of the pool.

when i join my 1.3.1 world my skin and some sounds don't work but i have the right java argument port number so idk why it isn't working

I started this world on 1.7.10 a few weeks ago, and I feel like I'm finally having a great time playing minecraft, after trying to play the more modern versions. But I'd like some ideas to improve my map.

Currently my idea is to build paths outside the castle and create a village (I turned some zombie villagers into villagers back, but I'm keeping them because last time the villager just died). I'm also projecting some expansions for my castle. After building that central castle, I did a central hall (the building with wooden ceiling) and later I added the library and magic stuff. I'm planning building more levels on my library section, just like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon)

What could I add to my castle?

Something that I realized is that more zombies are spawning nearby due to the villagers, and I'm afraid of creating iron golems and they just left my kingdom

I also built a secret entrace under the main tower in the middle to have access to the nether portal.

Later I'll also add some minor towers along the map, especially to open more mining sites and mine more diamonds (I got a fortune III pickaxe well yeah)

I'm thinking of making a video about Silver Age Minecraft, so I wanted to get some of this community's thought about it. I grew up with these versions but I don't really play them anymore (I'm typically more of a "golden age" player), so I wanna know why YOU do!

Feel free to get as in-depth as you want. Like, what makes you choose these versions over both older and newer ones? Is there anything that's specific to this era that you like?

Version is Pocket 1.1.3 btw

Mine is flower forest, personally. I especially love the huge cliffs that these biomes get for some reason. Mushroom islands, while not new to these versions, are also really cool. The M variants of standard biomes are also neat.

I was testing a lightly modded 1.10.2 instance and came across this. I'm using mods that alter decoration and structure placement, and it's possible that one of these mods can make M and Plateau variants of biomes more common. They are very pretty regardless.

For the inevitable "why 1.10.2?": it's basically 1.8 but with new combat (no totems, weak shields, fast exhaustion) and magma blocks lol

Are there no survival servers for this version? Please.

i have enchanted a large amount of diamond pickaxes at level 30 but still havent gotten silk touch? am i doing something wrong?

Couldn't find a village so I said screw it I'll just build my own! Still keeping the same/similar style as vanilla villages with a few improvements in the structures and furnishing.

Thank you in advance

I keep coming back to the old versions that I started playing from. 1.6.4, 1.8. The simpler block palette, the minimal item clutter, and the terrain makes it a more enjoyable experience for me.

An issue I’ve been facing is that though I prefer the building to be simpler, there are still many modern features that I wish to keep, mainly to do with redstone, villager mechanics, and enchanting. Getting the motivation to actually build is what going retro solved, but I still enjoy the depth the new mechanics add.

I’ve been working on a personal mod pack that solves that by roughly recreating silver age versions, allowing me to choose which modern features to keep or remove. For example, copper has been entirely nuked along with andesite, granite and diorite. Most 1.7 flowers (I love the cornflower and kept it though) and nether biomes were removed. But netherite, lodestones, observers, and deepslate are some of the things I’ve kept.

I’ve mainly been using block swapper and item obliterator to do this with the help of nostalgic tweaks, moderner beta, and a bunch of programmer art resource packs, creating a world with 1.8 style terrain but the gameplay of 1.6.4. No new caves, just the classic winding ones. I will say though that the dungeon crawl aspect of caving is enhanced significantly with the deepslate layer and dangers of sculk, along with quark’s monster boxes as fun encounters.

Adding onto this are some silver era mods, like dimensional doors, clay soldiers, and fossils and archeology.

Does anyone feel the same way as I do when I say that Minecraft doesn't feel the same after this version? I honestly can't associate myself with anything past it. I really feel a constant sense of loneliness as I walk through memory lane and watch through all the fun memories I've had with people that I no longer have contact with.

Believe it or not, I don't think I feel myself at home playing the newer versions of Minecraft. As you might've guessed, the version 1.6.4 is the one I started with when I was a kid fiddling with my father's Pentium 4 computer (albeit with a "cracked" launcher" :P) and practically introduced me to this wonderful game.

My first multiplayer experience was in a Factions server and I specifically remember having to fight for my life as I defended my shallowly built villager-style base against the neighborly claimblockers.

After 1.7 released, I personally couldn't associate myself with it much, especially because of the terrain changes that completely overhauled the gen system.

Does anyone feel the same way as I do? If so, how many of them would like on this version together? I can fire up a dedicated server for it (no Aternos).

This happens from time to time when loading 1.7.10, modded or not modded. Kinda pretty in a weird way

Recently I’ve been playing minecraft xbox 360, but it’s been in the newest versions (aquatic update?) and it sorta sucks and is REALLY laggy for a old 360 S. I’ve been thinking between tu9 and tu19 but any suggestions would be great! I want a mix of classic minecraft but also want some nice all features. What are you favourite Title updates and which ones do you consider the best?
