Someone stole 4 stacks of glass from me, and I'd like to know who. If the person is willing to step forward and admit it, I'd appreciate it. If not, well, I'll have to live with it I guess. Either way, it's not very polite to just run up and take something just because it's unlocked >_>

Have an admin BB it. That way you know for sure, and might have a chance to get your glass back.

Strange. The lag is gone for me now. I don't know if you did something Lord Tank or if I just have weird luck, but I have no complaints!

I have a question about minecraft.
If you pay for minecraft using one profile and someone else in your family wanted to play it using another, would he have to pay too?
I'm asking this because one of my brothers also like the free version of minecraft but we prefer to have separate profiles. So if I was to pay for it, would he have to too?
This could potentially change my mind about getting the game if we have to pay twice.
Thanks for any help.

Yes, if you want to play with someone else you will need another profile, although you can always play creative.

Why would you not have to pay for another profile? They aren't just going to give them out free, you know. :wink_smile:

What I meant is if I was to pay for the program, would he have to pay to use it on the same computer? I know that me and my brother wouldn't be able to play together anyway but we prefer to have separate profiles in games.
I don't quite understand how the minecraft profile thing works... I play more on 360 and PS3 where you only have to pay for a game or expansion once and any gamertag or profile on the console can use it. I'm guessing minecraft profiles don't work like that.

No, you wouldn't have to pay twice for you both to use Minecraft. It uses a login system, then dowloads the files to the hard drive in order to play the game. It can remember the login information so on each visit either of you could play, one at a time, on the same worlds.

Unless...

we prefer to have separate profiles in games.

In which case, you'd probably have to both purchase separately. I believe that would allow you to keep achievements, stats, character skins etc separate from each other (but I'm not 100% sure on that count).

Oh... well I suppose we'll have to tolerate using the same profile then. Besides, I don't think he was going to use multiplayer that much anyway.

One more question, how many worlds can you have at once on one computer. Is it one world and one save at a time or can everyone can have their own world on one computer? To put it in other terms, is the saving system more like pokemon (1 save slot), or the legend of zelda (multiple save slots)?

» Sat May 28, 2011 6:14 pm

You can have all the save lots ye want, lad.

Thanks for the help.
I'll probably have to wait a while to get it (pokemon black put a dent in any money I had left over from Christmas and I can't really get a job because of college), but I will be trying to get it with money from my birthday. Hopefully the price doesn't rise again before then.

A bit of an off topic question, is the increase in horse related avatars on the forums got something to do with the joke post on bethblog or have they always been here? I just found it a bit odd that a lot of people suddenly have them.

Ehh, I don't know if it'd do me any good. Kira already took the chest they were in. (I hired Kira to make me 5 stacks of sand, and he put them in a chest he made for me)

My home is that one in the middle of the lake/ocean thing.

Edit: No Connor, apparantly My Little Pony is becoming popular amongst boys. It shames me to consider them men :cryvaultboy:

Well, I can see what I can do if you want. A block doesn't actually need to be there to see what was done.

Sure, give me like, 5 mins to hop online.

Or on different worlds.

Well he was nice enough to give us powered rails before he fixed it. I like the powered rails better anyways.

You wont have to pay twice. He would be able to access your worlds if it was on the same computer and you could only have 1 skin.
Edit: nvm missed a page

I had to move my Xbox downstairs. Don't get all upset. I'll be on in like 5 minutes to give you your gunpowder.
