Honestly I'm quite in favor of the hunger system, this means you can't just randomly run into a skeleton dungeon with your entire hotkey bar full of porkchops and stuff and you actually have to think of a more strategic way to approach the threat.
So I've seen that there are like 3 indie games extremely similar to Minecraft in the Xbox Live Arcade, and I heard a few months ago that Minecraft was coming to Xbox. So, are any of these knock-offs worth getting and is actual Minecraft actually coming to Xbox or am I stuck with one of these almost-Minecrafts?
If your PC can run other good games and you have a good internet connection by all means buy it. Although asking us may be a bit biased. If you like sandbox games then it'll be right up your alley. Once the smogon server goes into 1.8 mode it's incredibly fun to build projects with other people and watch other users stuff magically appear in places.
Isn't 1.8 meant to be coming out today. I have not played for like two weeks due to going on vacation but if so yay! Also am I the only one who just messes around with god mod and stuff like that on single player? I had 300 creepers detonate at once. So cool
They have a lot of speculation about the 'More World Options' when you create a world, for instance whether there is hunger or not, experience, NPC villages and stuff. So I think as smogcraft we should vote for which to include, or if it were my way to include everything
In my opinion, NPC villages and Experience should be a definite while with hunger Im pretty passive about
Can wait for this update, I love the bow charging animation so much

So in the livestream Notch said that 1.7_3 maps will not be comparable. Does this mean that the map comin on September 1st will be temporary? Also rivers! :) Now I can build a dam.
Is minecraft worth the $20? I might get it soon. Or should I wait?
Well I got it back in Alpha and I can tell you I haven't regretted buying it. To be honest though if it wasn't for SMP I'd be so sick of it already. Single player is okay but I can't play it that much before getting bored. Although saying that, 1.8 looks like it'll make the game even more enjoyable and I'll probably play SSP much more and with the new addition of creative mode so I can spend hours just making random shit.
Also, didn't Notch say something about making every pay the full price anyways once its a full game??

Oh, and the recent map change votes were finally tallied:
'Now' - 18
1.8 Release/Stable - 29
Full Release - 6
New Year - 2
Since there was no tie or real discrepencies, italic votes don't matter.
So we'll start the official new Smogcraft map once 1.8 is stable and we have some power over you :P. I know there are a few issues with some commands on the temp map, so we're going to re-think the plugins we use this time (basically I hate Essentials). I believe we're going to be using a border plugin on the new Smogcraft, to limit exploration.. but that's still all subject to change, and maybe chest protection too. We're trialing these on the current interim map, so let me/forks/xaq know what you think of them.
In the mean time, go crazy on the temp map, and maybe there needs to be a discussion thread about the new map (social group?). I'd also like feedback on how you thought the first map was run - what was good and bad about it, and mainly what we can do better this time, to make the experience more enjoyable for everyone. We're probably going to expand the staff on the server as well, hopefully someone who likes tweaking plugins configuring everything I hate doing.
