Nostalgia
How do I get other versions of Minecraft that have no viruses? -xXLIGHTLINGXx
 * Other versions? If you download the game after buying it from Minecraft.net, you won't get any virus. CrazyBliep  ( NL Admin ) - 16 Februari 2012 21:30 (UTC)

i meant older versions, sorry XD. I bought the game, but I want to play older versions so I can use outdated mods that have not been updated. -xXLIGHTLINGXx

Thanks for the help! That is epicly cool. And I got my questioned answered so quickly, I thought it would take a week for my first answer. -xXLIGHTLINGXx

What's the deal?
I've seen the tutorials, but why is it that so many mods require for you to delete META-INF? -xXLIGHTLINGXx
 * Short answer: Minecraft won't run if you don't delete it.


 * Technical answer: META-INF contains digital signatures of the .class files as a Java security feature. If the files have been tampered with (e.g., by someone inserting a virus), the signatures won't match, and the program will refuse to run. However, most mods need to modify .class files, so the only way to make it work is to remove the signatures. -- Orthotope 02:16, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Interesting... -xXLIGHTLINGXx Oh, forgot to say this: I like the technical answers. They make it seem less, erm... how do I say this... non-answered

Mod making
I've tried to make a mod, but when I get the JDK and JR something, those don't work because I have Win32, not 64 or 86. I also looked up to see if there was another option. I found one, called Mod Maker. But when I tried it out, I got a message saying i need .NET Framework 4.0.30319 or something like that. Is there another option?

Edit: I got .NET Framework 4.0 something something since i got Unity, but now I forget what the Mod Maker Program was XD

Edit(2): Found the Mod Maker :P. Another edit will appear saying if it works or not :P.

Edit(3): So far, something is wrong with my MM searching for JDK, even though I installed the latest version...

Strange Noises
I've played Minecraft 1.2.5 for a long time now (getting boring), and then, a few weeks ago, I heard a strange noise. To describe it: A strange noise, like tires screeching, a bird squeel, and a distorted scream, all in one combined at the same time REEEK! And, it plays for maybe 5 seconds, each second, the volume of the sound decending. I have checked all processes, progams running, and nothing could've made this noise. I was like What the frick, and almost jumped out of my seat. I then heard it a few days after that, and a couple after that. I was on a multiplayer server, but they have no client mods/plugins that make noises. Did Jeb/Notch/Mojang tem implement a strange noise, or is it something else? I've heard it about 5 times now. I also can't install mods, for some reason my computer doesn't do stuff the way I want it, so I don't have any mods myself. -xXLIGHTLINGXx


 * Sounds like Ambience. -- Orthotope 05:07, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Yep, might be. It might be a new type, also, since I've never heard it until 1.2.5. And I did hear it in caves, except twice I heard it outside. xXLIGHTLINGXx 03:15, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Dirt Slabs/ Gears
I wish they never removed the dirt slabs and gears. Oh well. Heck I just looked at the letcern, it reminded me of a couple levels of Hexen II. Maybe hot dogs should've been added, also ;)

Bug Report This bug has been fixed by 1.4
Hopefully it's fixed by the time 1.4 or something comes out. It is a bug in the snapshot 12w34b, when I spawn villagers, they start falling into a block, like it is not there, even though there is a block there. They only fall one block also. I don't know why they do this, but it is annoying when they do it. Sometimes they are able to stay up and not fall through (if there is no block under the one they're standing on) Just saying ;D

Bug Report This bug has been fixed by 1.4
Hopefully it's fixed by the time 1.4 or something comes out. It is a bug in the snapshot 12w34b, when I spawn an octopus, it of course stays there. But when I go like 4 chunks away, then come back, the octopus disappears. (enough chunks to make Minecraft have to re-render the chunk that contains the octopus (using tiny fog)) It is very annoying, since I have made a ranch for my "Epic Build Guild" thing I'm doing (A bunch of different buildings or creations, might have uploaded pictures on Youtube) Just thought I should report it ;D xXLIGHTLINGXx 21:05, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

This bug has been fixed by 1.4. xXLIGHTLINGXx 19:36, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

1.4.1
Wow, I looked at some of the new features in the snapshots (I haven't see any since the 2nd or 3rd snapshot), and I'm like NU-UH!!! Bats, witches, wow, MineCraft is getting a bit crazy now with all sorts of stuff. That's awesome and so epicly cool it'll be useful for my Epic BuildGuild series when I make it.

Old Sound Effects
I was wondering if there is a certain way to use the old door and hurt (OUGH) sound effects back in-game and replace the new ones. Is there a certain .class file that you can edit to do this? And if so, what is the code to type?

xXLIGHTLINGXx 19:31, 21 March 2013 (UTC)


 * All the sounds are stored in .minecraft/resources, and are looked up by name, so they can be replaced with whatever sounds you want (still in .ogg format, of course), no modding needed. I think the old sounds are still in there somewhere, but I haven't gone looking for them myself. -- Orthotope 04:39, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. I already saw the old sounds in the wiki's .minecraft explorer thing (it shows all files contained in .minecraft folder), which is why I asked this (I wouldn't have asked this is they weren't there). I didn't think of just renaming the files (gee, that is totally simpler than the idea I had XD).

xXLIGHTLINGXx 19:34, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Okay, new problem: it didn't work. Minecraft keeps updating itself and replaces what I do. I cannot stop it (it isn't normal updating to new version, which might be why it never asks me if I need to update). If I replaced the sounds and deleted the others so that it wouldn't use those, it would get all of the deleted ones back, but it won't replace the ones I renamed and left there. The ones that were still left there wouldn't work. This is all for the 'hurt' sound effects.

Bug Report
Hopefully this is fixed soon. This is about a bug in 1.5.1. My animals keep glitching out of the fences, but there is nothing for them to jump onto and over the fences. They sometimes end up in other pens, or they will end up somewhere near the pens. (I have the pens set up so cows are at one end, then pigs, then sheep, and all of them are connected. This is sometimes hard if I need to get a cow into the cow pen, because I'll have to go through the other pens.)

Sometimes in my chicken pen (separate from the other pens), a couple of chickens will glitch inside the fences, and they'll get trapped (on two sides, there are grass blocks, and on two other sides, there are fence posts.)

I just thought I should report this on here. I don't know if it's just me, or if it affects other players, too.

Colored Text using §
Hello. I'm trying to use the alt code for this sign '§' ingame, but it doesn't let me do alt codes at all. I am using the number pad, and I am using the correct alt code. It's just that no alt codes work at all for me in Minecraft. Was it gotten rid of, or am I just having troubles? I'm currently using the current version, by the way.
