Well, this seams VERY complex but can bring great advances for dose who use it. So for those who don't want to dig in the new things it would only make it unfair. Some mining with rock pickaxes and some with friggin mininglazorz?

I'm not sure this is good... But I'd go with the flow I guess.

Well it's not like we're all competing or anything.
And the currently genned area will remain unchanged, the new ores will only spawn in newly genned areas.

Well I don't like, say, the EXP boost on items / EXP guild bonuses in Wow either (thats why I quitted) but I don't particually compete with all the folks on the server.

The thought of "unfairness" in mp games, I don't like. I bet I'm the only one thinking this way so feel free to ignore me.

Well the world of Minecraft is fundamentally different from WoW. In WoW, you can't transfer experience and some items to other people. In Minecraft there's no such thing as arbitrary experience, only concrete items and constructions that can and often are transferred or shared between people.

Yes, I did not say it's in the least bit close to WoW in anyway. I just pointed out the unfairness of the mod and what I don't like about it.

Though as I said I'm indifferent about using the mod.

I'd use it Duh

@Azakan: Well I was countering your unfairness argument. In WoW you can accumulate intangible things that make you somehow better than everybody else without doing anything different. In Minecraft, the value is in concrete things that are not specific to anyone.
The difference is that there is no more "unfair" advantages, you can't become somehow better than everyone while doing the exact same things, you become better by spending time and effort on improving your home and immediate surroundings. Effort is directly rewarded rather than gathering the best combination of items and gear that boost your exp.

@Duh

If Duh manages to aquire a chainsaw oven somehow then she bloody well deserves it.

You could make the same claim about my current home. I have the most mineral wealth of anyone on the server (I think). Is that then unfair?
There's nothing stopping you from going down into the ground and mining everything, or building a huge farm and harvesting all the wheat, or collecting eggs, milk, sugar and wheat and baking a ton of cakes.

Nope, that's fair we have the same odds of getting it!

But as you said in your post...



Then it would be unfair

Because you didn't make use of the mod?
No matter what the blocks will be available to you, as you would have to install the mod to connect to the server. Or, you'd have to use the modded client I would provide, whichever you like.

Bukkit, please. Legit Minecraft has been fun but lately has felt more like grinding than anything else. Also, I'm raging at losing valuable ♥♥♥♥ I worked a long time to get, especially when it's not my fault. (♥♥♥♥ blazeXER. Don't take this idiot with you on mining trips.)

What is Bukkit? I checked their site out, but found NO info even in the forums - only that is "helps administer servers"?

It's a server API. You can install mods to it to, say, let you do large-scale world editing with some textual commands.
Additionally, while we're on the subject of mods, worldwriter would like the planes mod installed.
Opinions?
