I thought I’d share with you the ones I’ve done so far. We’ve been counting down the days until it was available in Australia! I think I might be hearing that soundtrack a few more times over the coming days! Unforturnately my little man’s rendition of ‘Let it Go’ is about as good as his fathers would be!Īnyway, back to the topic at hand! I’ve been busy designing and printing out decorations for the party. He’s curled up on the sofa right now watching our brand new purchase, the Frozen DVD. Thank goodness it didn’t hit him a few days later – that would NOT be a nice way to spend your birthday! Not quite there yet, but it’s only a matter of days now until I realise how much I have to get done! Today all the kids were supposed to be back at school after two weeks of holidays, but my little man is still getting over his tummy bug. the use of string to raise the balloon without including it in the recipe would hopefully off set its mass production potential and help to keep the use of the balloons slightly balanced.I’m nearing party panic mode today. It could then be placed directly on the ground ware it would be lit and raised (5 or more blocks at a time perhaps) into the air by right clicking (or lowered by left clicking) on its base with string. (where paper is represented by nothing ' ' ) something that looks more like a box kite than a balloon, a box being more inline with Minecraft's art style than a spherical object in a world of cubes. It seems like the balloon would be a fun solution, although i think it would make more sense as a block made out of paper, sticks, and a torch with a wooden base that stays behind. in many cases i build in the most unusual areas i can find, which are sometimes (more often than not actually) 10 or more stupid eye sore 'bread crumb pillars' away from my spawn point.

not to mention i rarely have the patience to lay 128 and tare 64 of them back down every few minutes when there is a crazy looking floating island, water fall, mountain, excreta, excreta, excreta just over the next hillĪ compass can help you get back to your spawn, sure, and a lighted tower will guide you for what a few hundred blocks of view distance at the most? plopping down towers ever few minutes is a really annoying and time consuming way to mar the joy of exploration which is one of the most interesting things about Minecraft. because, face it, the most exciting maps to explore are never flat.

but i agree that it is very easy to get lost inland when exploring. They may be able to be overridden but I don't know things like that about Minecraft's engine.Īddendum: Forgive any logic errors, I'm writing this at 5:40 AM because I can't sleep. ]' title='-' /> ]' title='-' /> ]' title='-' />ĭraw distances could become a problem. I had been thinking something along the lines of: Distant settlements could be marked, possibly with different colored balloons. Right-clicking (or right click holding) on the rope will pull the balloon down by 1 tile, allowing for easy recovery and location changing. Glows brightly at night due to it's flame. After being placed and activated(a la TNT), it begins rising up into the air until it either hits something or runs out of rope (possibly 50-100 tiles of rope length?). A length of string is tied on the bottom of the balloon, which connects to the ground tile it was placed on. Small hot air balloons tethered to the ground that can be used to mark various locations at a distance.Ī square shaped cloth balloon with a small wooden platform suspended under it, a torch attached in the middle and burning into the balloon.
