OMG ! Wolves !!!!!
From : http://notch.tumblr.com/
The state of Minecraft
There are manly men with powertools in our office, punching floors and walls in an attempt to make things look better. As a result, we haven’t been able to work from the office this week, and worked from home. Jens spent most of the week working on a new mob; the wolf! You can tame it and order it to follow you around, and it’ll work as a pet. They’re fairly rare, but they won’t despawn once you’ve tamed them.
I worked on the achievement and stats system. One design issue was dealing with offline mode and synching the achievements once you get a connection again, but that’s been solved. We’ve got a couple of people in the office who don’t like achievements in games at all, so the goal is to design something that they’re fine with.
Achievements will NOT be chores like “cut down 10000 trees”, but rather challenges like “ride a pig off a cliff”. Stats, however, will be used to keep track of how many trees you have cut down. The long term plan is to show achievements and stats from the profile page on minecraft.net as well, in case you want to brag.
Just keep in mind that because you can design your own levels and run your own servers, people will be able to cheat with achievements and stats!
Oh, and here’s a vid of the wolves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9Lp9p5yjuo
The video is great !

I want to ride a pig off a cliff.

Re: OMG ! Wolves !!!!!
I've had pigs fall off my quarry and fall about 70 blocks worth of a drop (my quarry is built into the side of a hill), granted I wasn't on them but I have a box full of porkchops, leather, and white wool as a result. This whole deal of raining animals promted me to put a glass roof over my quarry.MrBlah wrote:I want to ride a pig off a cliff.
This is hard to be cool and suave while being informative at the same time. Goddamn my coolness.
In my experience, common sense isn't too common.

Re: OMG ! Wolves !!!!!
That is awesome!

I wonder how rare they are actually going to be. 1 per player on SMP? Only 1 within 20 blocks of each other or something? I get the feeling we may have to launch expeditions out into the wilderness to find them.They’re fairly rare

Re: OMG ! Wolves !!!!!
Dare I ask what is involved in "taming" them? And will they be trying to rip out your throat in the process?

In the video it looks like all he did was give the wolf a bone to tame it.

Re: OMG ! Wolves !!!!!
I have tamed the "wolf" you see to the left of this post. Baked treats and chew toys worked well for me, in addition to bones, but I don't see that minecraft has any plans for including them into alpha. I wonder how the farmers in my area would react to me having him hunt pig and cow for me?
Seriously though, the video of the hunting they posted makes this look awesome.

Re: OMG ! Wolves !!!!!
Hello, how about that ride in? I guess thats why they call it sin city, haha. You guys might know this but i consider myself a bit of a loner, i tend to think of myself as a one man wolfpack. But when my sister brought TTHREAZ home i knew he was one of my own, and my wolfpack, it grew by one, so there was two of us in the wolfpack, i was along in the wolfpack and then TTHREAZ joined in later, and six months ago when TTHREAZ introduced me to you guys, i thought, wait a second, could it be, and now i know for sure, i just added two more guys to my wolfpack. Four of us wolves running around stevos server looking for diamonds and iron. So tonight, i make a toast.

It's cute and useful, but I really, really, really would have rather had horses with saddlebags (that act as a doublechest) first.
I'll pay 1 Refined for A Distinctive Lack of Hue and 1 Reclaimed for Mann Co. Orange (All outta items for this week~ :< )
