The EMC Survival Update!

That's amazing.

I got a zombie virus using Looting III. I'm still wondering what to do with it. xD

It's resistance 4, I'm pretty sure.

I guess we can't really call ourselves 'Vanilla' anymore - all of these additions vary gameplay massively from Vanilla

Isn't that why we call ourselves "French Vanilla"?

Yeah, but in my eyes, 'French Vanilla' isn't cutting anymore

I've been referring to this as the "Terraria Update" personally...

well no one has found the mining helmets or flame armor yet, so we can not really it call it that.

i mean...

Just wondering what you are going to do with all these new things in 1.6 cause some seem like they can be a pain in the butt.

• Spiders
  • Now have a chance
  • Zombies
    • Now have a small chance to spawn additional zombies when damaged or not being looked at
    • Able to lock onto the player from much further away.
    • Mobbing zombies can now move when further than 32 blocks from player.
  • to spawn with potion effects

How will you make the mules so they don't die and are transferable to Town?

• Mules
  • Similar to donkeys, just brown and taller than a normal donkey
  • Obtained by breeding a horse and a donkey
  • Can wear chests on their saddles, just like donkeys
  • Not breedable with horses, donkeys, or other mules

Maybe new bosses on horses?

• There is a Zombie and Skeleton version of the horse included in the code, although they require NBT editing to view in game

This part kills the reasoning for God Armor

• Changed the idea of mob difficulty[10]
  • Regional difficulty: The longer you spend in one area, the harder it gets
  • Scales with difficulty - items, enchants or AI improve with difficulty

Fair enough, Sir Sassy, but when the goblin army shows up I will be expecting rocket boots as a drop.

To Aikar: If you add jetpacks next, I will have your babies.

We actually haven't been Vanilla since day one. Residence + Shops make us not Vanilla by default.

What is the term then? Plug-in minecraft survival?

"French Vanilla" was the popular term, I'm not sure what you'd call it after throwing a teaspoon of Cayenne pepper into the mix though.

Now we're more "Moose Tracks" than French Vanilla now. Still mostly Vanilla, but not as much as before.

I knew there was a reason I didn't like this update! All those little frozen peanutbutter cups... blech.
*this is a joke, I actually like Moose Tracks

I can tell you don't like the change, I also don't like whe things change but you should just embrace it and have fun with the game and server we all love.

someone didn't read the black text...

It's okay, I'm used to having a high failure rate when it comes to my humor.

moose tracks vanilla.....someone coin that quick

Hey, that was my idea! And it is just "Moose Tracks"
