Animation and Minecraft: Working with Scenery

February 9, 2016 by ShelLuser Leave a Comment

Animation: 'Diamond King' Youtube video, by Minecraft JamsMinecraft is without a doubt one of those games which has inspired thousands, if not millions of people, and that inspiration is shown all over the place. And I’m not only talking about all the awesome things which people managed to build within the game, many of which can also be admired on our own Empire Minecraft servers, but also about everything around it. In this particular case, we’re looking at Minecraft animation.

An often seen question on both Youtube (home of many awesome Minecraft videos) as well as the official Minecraft forums is: “How do they do that?“. So in this post I’ll be showing you some rough examples on how you can combine Minecraft with computer graphic imagery (CGI). Do note that I won’t be doing any actual animation because that would make this post way too complex. I’m merely going to show you guys some basic examples of how it can be set up with Minecraft scenery.

The Damage Indicators mod is a tool for displaying a mob or player’s health points, mainly.

The concept of the modification is pretty simple, and may seem unnecessary for some, but the small amount of change can make a big difference. In this review, I will show you the reasons why you should give Damage Indicators a try.

The World of 1.8: Minecraft Rabbits

November 7, 2014 by Olaf_C Leave a Comment

Minecraft Rabbit

Introduction:

Mojang released the new updated 1.8 version of Minecraft a few weeks ago, and there are quite a few things we are all excited about. From armor stands to flags, and new doors to Ocean/Water temples, 1.8 is a feature packed update with tons of new adventures to take, items to craft, and so on. Minecraft rabbits are one of the new mobs added to Minecraft; they are quite the elaborate addition.

The new Minecraft rabbit has 6 natural variants, with one variant obtained using a name tag and one hostile variant, bringing the grand total to 8 variants possible. New drops include rabbit hide, the rare rabbit foot, and food types (raw and cooked rabbit). Rabbit stew will be the second kind of stew added to Minecraft and has been added as part of the 1.8 update.

Rabbit Types:

Brown and White MC Rabbit Brown Minecraft Rabbit with white underbelly  White Minecraft Rabbit  White Minecraft Rabbit
Blonde Minecraft Rabbit Blonde Minecraft Rabbit  Brown Rabbit  Brown Minecraft Rabbit
Black Speckled Minecraft Rabbit Black Speckled Minecraft Rabbit  Toast the Minecraft Rabbit Toast: a Black & White Minecraft Rabbit
 black and white minecraft rabbit  White with Black Spot Minecraft Rabbit Killer Minecraft Rabbit The Killer Bunny: White Minecraft Rabbit

Toast is obtained using a nametag renamed “toast”, or a spawn egg renamed “toast”. The Killer Bunny has a change of 1 in 1000 in spawning, and is hostile.

Breeding & Taming Rabbits:

Minecraft rabbits can be bred by using carrots, golden carrots, and dandelions. When a bunny is bred, it is always the color of one of its parents. When taming a Minecraft rabbit, it uses the same mechanics as any other tamable mob. You feed them carrots until they no longer take carrots. Rabbits exhibit the same breeding patterns as pigs. Untamed rabbits behave in similar to those of ocelots. If you move towards a minecraft rabbit too fast, it will get scared and run away. Hold a carrot in your hand, hold shift, and they will come to you.

Minecraft Rabbit Drops:

Rabbits FootThe rabbits foot is a new drop obtained by killing a rabbit. Its use is for brewing the “Potion of Leaping”

Rabbit HideRabbit hide is dropped from a rabbit upon death. Four rabbit hides arranged into a square in a crafting table output 1 leather.

Raw RabbitRaw rabbit is a drop that drops upon the death of a rabbit. When consumed, the player will receive 3 hunger points. Cooked rabbit is obtained when a Minecraft rabbit dies while on fire or when raw rabbit is cooked. Cooked rabbit gives a player 5 hunger points when consumed.

In Conclusion:

Minecraft rabbits are a very interesting new feature added to 1.8, and I am very happy they were added. The addition of Minecraft rabbits bring new food, potions, and companions. Minecraft rabbits are one of the many features that have been added to 1.8, and they will bring a great new experience to Minecraft.
