Minecraft 1.11.2 Mods: Installing or Updating Java

January 9, 2017 by TheBoracle Leave a Comment

In the last article of the series we covered the Minecraft 1.11.2 Launcher and profiles. Now it’s time to talk about Java.

JavaThe problem with the launcher is that it comes bundled with a two-year-old, 32-bit version of Java that can cause all sorts of weirdness and problems!  The biggest of these is that it probably doesn’t use as much of your computer’s RAM as possible, so even though you can run Minecraft decently, it doesn’t always work as efficiently and smoothly as it could. In addition, a number of mods only list the latest Java version as compatible. This article will teach you how to install the correct or updated Java version and enable Minecraft to utilize it.

January 6, 2017 by TheBoracle Leave a Comment

This article is the first in a series on installing popular 1.11.2 Mods approved on Empire Minecraft and related topics such as profiles, the launcher, Java and modloaders.  We will first cover profiles as they are the foundation of mod and modloader installations, while the Minecraft launcher is where they are managed.

The Launcher and Profiles

The first thing you will see when you start Minecraft is the launcher, where you can choose a profile and play with it or create and manage all your profiles. A profile contains the settings used by a Minecraft session. such as the version, mods contained within it and Java instructions.

Outpost Tours on Empire Minecraft: Pilz-Reich

December 22, 2016 by JDHallows Leave a Comment

The Empire Minecraft Outpost Tour series is written by me, JDHallows, a staff member on Empire Minecraft. I travel out to different outposts throughout the Frontier on EMC. While there, I take notes and pictures of these players outposts and create an informative tour of each one. This tour is based on Pilz-Reich, a Mooshroom island outpost created by the player SoulPunisher in the Fall of 2012.

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.
