For the people like myself who use acer netbook's to play minecraft know that zombies are a killer. I can't go mining without dieing because my laptop is to darn slow to kill zombies on hard i did testing on solo and i can just manage to kill them on normal and was hoping to see the wilderness difficulty go to normal so i don't have to deal with this bad laptop screwing me over in the wild.
The very next update to EMC (supposedly) is going to be difficulty settings, which allows anyone to set the difficulty of their wilderness experience on a scale of 1-10.
the wilderness is on normal.....in fact emc is easier on normal then vanilla. aikar is working on adjustable difficulty settings tho
Normal mode. (Anyone remember this?) There is your problem. I had two of them for about a year each. They are not for gaming, at all, and makes minecraft difficult to play.
The current difficulty is Normal mode with some added hard mode features. The Difficulty setting that will be added soon will solve ALL your problems
Your sufferance may soon be at an end, keep your eyes peeled in the near future for a feature which should solve this issue for you.
Will this update have the option to turn off starvation death so you can still have 3 hearts or will we still die from not bringing food to the wilderness
I'm not sure if we can reveal too many details as of yet, but lower difficulties will stop certain mobs from attacking you at all. The wild as we know it now will be Level 5 and you can lower it to as low as 1.
This update is mainly about the awesome player-mob interaction, you will still probably need to eat or else turn into shiny zombie flesh. http://empireminecraft.com/threads/player-based-difficulty-released-play-your-way.38717/
