Watch The Simpsons' Minecraft-themed intro

Notch: "I'm not sure how I feel about it."

By Tom Phillips Published Monday, 7 April 2014

 

Last night's North American episode of The Simpsons featured a new opening credits sequence inspired by Minecraft.

 

 

The Simpsons family appear as Minecraft-style characters, while Moe the bartender pops up as a Creeper.

 

Word of the parody quickly reached Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson, who appeared to react with surprise:

 

"The Simpsons did a Minecraft couch gag. I'm not sure how I feel about it," Persson wrote on Twitter.

 

"I STILL feel a bit like it's just this small game I made at home. It's so weird to have all these things happen."

 

Sales of Minecraft's mega-hit Xbox 360 Edition topped 12m copies last week, making the game's combined sales tally across all platforms now around 40m.

Looks more like Cubeworld :laugh:

Server doesn't appear to be happy right now, can't stay logged in for more than a minute or so if I can get in at all.

[Crisp]

Yup, it kicked me 3 times earlier. I had to stop the digging.

[Louisifer]

Restarted :)

Would whoever keeps killing my sheep please stop. If you need wool that's fine, use the shears that are in the chest next to the sheep, and help yourself to all the wool you want. Just stop killing the sheep. If you accidentally kill a sheep then please re-breed them.

Don't update your clients yet - 1.7.6 is not compatible with older MC server versions, and there is no Bukkit build for 1.7.6 yet.

i am still surprised that being that the bukkit team works for Mojang now that they do not work on Bukkit on the side while they are developing a new build so that they can have the updates out quicker.

Play The Titanfall Inspired Minecraft Mod: Ironfall

gamer culture

 

by Isaac Federspiel on April 10, 2014 at 03:30 PM

 

If you haven't been able to play Titanfall yet, a Mineraft mod has you covered. Ironfall is a Titanfall inspired mod that has released as a playable pre-alpha game hosted by The Chunk.

 

Ironfall features 8v8 combat, double jumping, and the ability to call down a Golem (each team can have up to four at a time) and pilot it much like the Titans in Titanfall. Currently, the only playable mode is Attrition. If you?d like to see how Ironfall handles, check out the video below of YouTuber BrenyBeast playing it.

 

 

Different Golem types, game modes, and wall running are coming soon, according to the blog post on Imgur. Ironfall can be played by connecting to The Chunk?s Minecraft servers at hub.TheChunk.net.

 

The Chunk hosts several other Minecraft mods, including BlockWars, MinerWare, Thimble, Ender, and more.

I can whitelist you when I get home in appr 3 h from now. Just give me your user name.

 

Note: The server is currently still on 1.7.5 - make sure to create a profile using that version. There are 1.7,8 builds for the Craftbukkit server mod we use, however I hesitate to install them yet - I'd rather wait for a beta or stable version.

No rush, I'm still at work anyway Username is Skiver77

I'll need to look at the profile stuff, I'm assuming I would be running the latest since I just installed it.

yeah it'll be set to latest version by default but just choose edit profile from the launcher and there'll be an option to choose a specified version

Got it, cheers!

 

Just downloading the Skydrive files now too, I assume they go somewhere in here %\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\.... Saves maybe? I assumed it would maybe be a little more obvious once it was downloaded and I could see the contents properly.

Might be worth adding the profile and download stuff to the OP for n00bs like me :)

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

Which Skydrive files? o.O

[Skiver Veteran]

the "World" Files that is in the original post right at the end, as there was no info on exactly what they were but assumed it was something along the lines of needing them for connection to the server? Like in other games where you need to download additional map files etc?

No, you don't need to download anything at your end. just put the server details in and connect. minecraft will do everything for you.

Ok cool, will hopefully get on it soon.

Can I ask what the files are? I've downloaded them anyway. 

[Crisp]

Probably the old server world which was hosted for people who built on it to keep.

[sagum]

A few times now, Minecraft has had to change the world save files so much, that it's been easier for everyone to have people start fresh.

The world files on the skydrive, I think, are there as a backups for anyone wanting to go back and look at the world people created then.

Of course you'll have to downgrade your Minecraft client to be able to load them.

 

You can safely ignore them unless you want to see what people have created in the past.

 

[Crisp]

I almost bought an electric guitar because of you.

You are whitelisted now. Have fun.

[+Neyht Subscriber²]

It's best to view them in a previous version but it's not required.
