No I just think custom shaders are dumb

i get bored of minecraft after a while, finding new mods and new ways to make it objectively look better keeps me interested. i just like having immersion and atmosphere.

here's how I went about jamming all that stuff into minecraft (I don't use any automated mod installers aside from what the mod download page gives me)

- Start with clean minecraft.jar
- install modloader
- install the latest Optifine (any version, I prefer multicore + smooth, the AA one isn't needed because you can force those features using an nvidia graphics card)
- run minecraft, start any game or multiplayer, go to Options > Video Settings > Quality and turn ON custom colors (this is important so your sh­it doesn't look all blown out)
- install SEUS (link here)
- Download the modified V10 RC2 shaders from here
- Open minecraft.jar, and replace all shaders in the ./shaders directory with the ones from above
- Download John Smith modified from here
- Install to textures folder
- Download MCPatcher from here
- (Optional) Download Dynamic Lights (MCPatcher version) from here (this lets hand-held torches, mobs lit on fire, and items dropped on the ground to emit light)
- Follow the instructions until you are ready to install the checked mods from the MCPatcher list
- ONLY check Better Lights (Optifine version) and Better skies, the others will conflict with Optifine and mess things up
- Click to install or patch MC or whatever it says

If done correctly it should all be working the same way I have it. For an added bonus, install MAtmos and MSI to make minecraft sound a lot better, too.

NOTE: for as long as you have the shaders installed, you can only use SEUS-enabled texture packs, due to the way the shaders handle water and lighting. If you switch to another texture pack that doesn't have SEUS support it will look awful.

EJ you are learning Minecraft too quickly.

Also as soon as Bukkit 1.3 is out I will update to that.

yo fetch whoever took chunks out my house for wood

Nobody is down there except for your friend

yeah idk im starting to think it may just be persistent endermen.

Also possible. My desktop will be set up soon :)

hey I finally put things in my house to make it look less poo pooty than a big empty room 

come check it out if you care

my dad unexpectedly dropped by my apartment while I was waiting for skeletons to fall into my trap. i forgot i had minecraft running. fast forward 3 hours i get back and minecraft has crashed due to running out of memory. I log back on and immediately encounter lag. I managed to get this screenshot before activating my death trap to murder them all:



All of those are skeletons. So many skeletons.

WHOA

holy moly

I thought monster spawning had some kind of limits to keep things like that from happening?

That's sweet! I'm working on a library/train station near my house that I'm gonna use as a prototype for a larger train station thing

i couldnt get it to work so i installed instead
