(in defense of @JeffreyLin, I don't think he quite realized what it would ultimately do, as much like any other sane person I think he'd assume "who the hell would make something that snows and chunk loads"?)

This makes the second reset of the nether. C'mon folks, you can do better than that.

@TimPost technically the first reset was an update problem somewhere involving quarries in the nether

Elemental fire is what it is, by the way.

@TimPost If you do use it, you would need it to be completely contained like I have it in age 20

Tim Post

What use does it have other than havoc?

user43095

It turns blocks into deserts, but water into desserts! Haha, cake.

user43095

Also if you have a large enough room of cobble you can in theory turn it into lava and if you keep replacing the cobble you can have infinite lava.

user43095

And makes the Nether a winter funderland (assuming you have the boundary set up)

user43095

My research has shown that it loads chunks and spreads 2-3 biomes further than you originally intended.

also there's one that stops the other fires, but doesn't seem to work as well.

user43095

Which is a tad strange, because if it did load chunks we would have had serious lag a few weeks in but then it would have finished.

user43095

Oh well

How does I rite minkraft modz in jquery?

Rhino (JavaScript engine)

Rhino is a JavaScript engine developed entirely in Java and managed by the Mozilla Foundation as open source software. It is separate from the SpiderMonkey engine, which is also developed by Mozilla, but is written in C++ and is used in Mozilla Firefox. == History == The Rhino project was started at Netscape in 1997. At the time, Netscape was planning to produce a version of Netscape Navigator written fully in Java and so it needed an implementation of JavaScript written in Java. When Netscape stopped work on "Javagator", as it was called, the Rhino project was finished as a JavaScript engine....

And I'm not even joking. There are mods which add Rhino scripting to Minecraft (... though just for AI, last I checked).

I ..... ...... well, .....

Now I'm trying to fit minecraft into a DOM

Tim Post

When all you can say is ... you might as well bold a few of the dots for emphatic non-emphasis.

@Jochem minecraft world to XML conversion?

Tim Post

typedef struct { void **jeffrey; } chicken_t;

Jochem

@ratchetfreak if you're going to use jQuery you're going to need a DOM, or otherwise it's kinda pointless :D It'd be hilarious though...

Martin Sojka

Pretty much, yeah. $("#playername").moveTo(x, y, z[, dimension]) ...

ratchet freak

11:50 AM

@Jochem You can probably use NBT to XML for a large part

flatten the chunks as well

Tim Post

$('.chicken', '#dimension').die();

Jochem

@TimPost $('#jeffreylin_').on('move', function () { $('.chicken').moveTo($('#jeffreylin_').position); });

ratchet freak

$('#jeffreylin').damage(1.0, "chicken")

Martin Sojka

setInterval(function() { var player = $("#playername"); if( player ) { player.world().strikeLightning(player.pos()); } }, 1000 + Math.random() * 1000);

The possibilities!

Jochem

I'm not entirely sure JS would be an improvement over Lua though

Tim Post

12:08 PM

I'm not much on Lua, does it have anonymous functions?

Martin Sojka

JavaScript has many functional features, so it's pretty good at event handling, parallel execution, AI and similar. Also, Rhino allows you to compile JS objects into Java classes and instances thereof for additional speed. Other than that, whatever you like the best.

ratchet freak

@TimPost you can assign functions to variables

though I'm not positive about scoping and such

> The statement

> function f () body end

> translates to

> f = function () body end

@TimPost looking at the spec yes it does with local scoping

@ratchetfreak I didn't know it did that. Now I want to play with lua more.
