Ingots- another no. Item crates- all you did was describe exactly how crates work now, except for the name thing. However, you're talking about using a valuable resource to make one. I've got better things to do with a diamond than make a crate with it. Couldn't you just use a regular crate and put a sign in front of it? Also keeps it from being a single-use crate. Placing items- Don't know about this one. Just me, but I've got much better things to do with tools, weapons, or ores than to hang them on a wall for decoration. I also don't get why I'd want stacks of stuff laying around on the ground. A placed chest would work a lot better and hold more.

I've ended up with a pickaxe in both hands, but I don't remember how I did it. I've never gotten a block or item to show up in my right hand. Since it doesn't really do anything and there's nothing to gain, why do you want to??????

The torch-in-hand, flashlights, headlamps, etc have all been suggested before. Personally, I'd rather place a torch once in a while rather than tie up one hand holding one. And you're gonna have to place some torches anyway- might as well do it now and then you don't have to worry about it.

First off, remove all that formatting. That makes it very hard to read. And posting it bigger doesn't make the idea better. I'll say no, because you haven't told us what the advantage would be (I can see none), or what they'd be good for, over regular doors. Remember we have wood, and steel, doors already. The zombie thing I don't see the point of- why would I want to make and place a turnstile that lets mobs through it???? If you want a opening that lets mobs in, can you not just don't place anything there? The only thing I'm thinking turnstiles might be used for is if you want a door, it keeps mobs out, people can go through it like a normal door, but arrows can go through it. Of course, why would I want something like that???

I own a PS3 also. There's a lot of "make it for PS3!" requests (and not just here). The problem is I searched like crazy and there isn't any "miner" games at all for the PS3, whereas for the xbox there's half a dozen. So if you own a PS3 you're SOL. If I knew of a game like TM (or MC, FC, CM, Miner Dig Deep, etc.) I'd point you to it. That's why my PS3 gathers dust.

Prices do fluctuate in the shop. Put an item in the lower left corner, then open and close the shop up. You'll see the price change sometimes, then just sell it for the highest price. If you have several squares of the same item, they will all sell for the same price (you don't have to reestablish that high price again). I'm trying to remember and I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong!!), but once you set a price range (i.e. the highest), all items you sell that time will be at the highest price. But I don't think that's what you meant. If you sell 1 sandstone you get 7 coins, if you sell 100 a few minutes later you only get 5 coins each, but if you buy 100, the price goes back up. While that's kinda realistic because it works like that in the stock market, I don't think it works that way in retail stores, nor should it work that way in the game's store. For instance, say gas is so much per gallon. Coming back in a few minutes to buy a bunch more (or less) doesn't change that price. Nice thought, but I'd like to keep the stores like they are. Well, except for one thing. Why do we have 2 stores? Why can't we combine them and have several pages of all the items in one store?????

I've got one piece of obsidian that I've carried around with me that I've used to teleport back and forth between mine and house dozens and dozens of times, so breaking one into 9 "one use" teleports isn't very practical. Also it's cost and rarity preclude it from being broken up just to throw at people. It's worth a lot more if you sell it (one will buy lots of bows and arrows)! One thing I think people forget is that whatever the item is (rocks, torches, whatever), each one takes up one block, and a block can only be one thing. For instance, a ladder hugs a wall, but each ladder piece takes up one whole block space (the rest being transparent). I know a rock seems like a small thing, but there can only be one rock per square. (That's why you'll never see chairs scooted under tables- if we had them).

It's all personal preference. Some packs make some ores show up better, other packs, other ores. If I switch too much I get confused as to what is what, so I use the basic one 95% of the time. Course, that's gonna change when the HD pack comes out shortly!!! I don't think you'll be "bored" anymore.

Agreed, looks good(!), but the soil looks a bit dark- almost like the Carbon block. I'm from Missouri, so I know what "loam" looks like (this), but probably a lighter brown would work better.

You're poll is messed up- there's no option in the second part if you don't vote yes in the first part, so you can't vote (must be able to make selections in both parts). I don't think the world is big enough for this. I agree that they would make the terrain less "boring" (the upcoming HD graphics will help a lot with that), but I play another game with them and quite frankly, they're a pain in the butt. That "adventurous edge" you're talking about- I came up on one in the dark once and fell off that "adventurous edge" and died.

New mobs are already in the works and set in stone. I'm all for waiting till 2.0 is out and see what we get (no telling!) before proposing any new ones (and I don't think we need a bunch of them).

Course, attacking, building, mining, etc. is your job and I doubt you'll be able program those kinds of things in NPC's. Maybe, for instance, sentry duty between two (or more) points as a warning system.

Naw- don't need bloody spiders all over the place. (And who's gonna do the toggling? Are the parents gonna start the game and set the options before they let their kids play it?)

Don't let the noobs win! Stay and fight to keep our forum sane!

I'd like some elaboration of why it's important to take the time to program in "execution animation" of stabbing someone in the back. (I suppose stabbing someone in the front wouldn't be near as "fun"?) Killing someone isn't enough- you want to flat out execute them also? This ain't Assassins Creed....
