The level generation is random, but the zones here are not so large, so you can just learn the territory. The music is also atmospheric, good. While there is only 1 level in the game, 2 more should appear before the full release. Not particularly scary, not particularly difficult in puzzles, but atmospheric and addictive. With all the features put together, you would think you were playing some kind of modern, almost sci-fi looking indie game. In addition to the texture changes, a number of special 3D models have been included in the resource pack such as book stacks, table legs, vertical slabs, and even roller blinds.
It's still among the most unique Minecraft texture pack available. It ultimately came down to just one factor that was repeatedly an issue — its color. While the CraftBoy resource pack brings something new and unique, its constant four shades of green make it tiresome and bland. The resource pack essentially makes you feel as if you are trapped in one specific area that you cannot escape. That being said, the CraftBoy resource pack looks fantastic and the creator — Maligree — did a great job at conveying a sci-fi feeling environment.
But, the constant green atmosphere quickly becomes over-used and rather boring which eventually makes you want to change to another resource pack. The resource pack is actually designed to be used as a method of locating ores and other rare minerals that are hidden deep under the ground — also known as cheating.
If you do find yourself downloading this texture pack, be sure to use it with OptiFine for the extra night vision effect. It should also be noted that if you do not want to use this texture pack all the time, the invisible blocks can be toggled off. Using this texture pack on multiplayer survival servers is absolutely against most server rules, so it's highly recommended you just use it in your own private Minecraft worlds. Sometimes you can have a little too much Martha Stewart in your life.
Just when you thought you had seen everything, Johnknee — the creator of the texture pack — decided to reincarnate Martha Stewart into Minecraft and it is truly as glorious as it sounds.
The creator states that the texture pack was heavily inspired by Matt Damon Craft — a resource pack that has since been taken down. While the texture pack may be one of the worse resource packs in Minecraft, it is hilarious and will definitely give you and your friends a few good laughs.
So if you have a friend or family member that is lacking a little bit of Martha Stewart in their lives, just set them up with this texture pack.
Adventure Craft — created by InnovationNation — is among the most popular texture packs even years later. The realistic style — while also maintaining the resemblance to default Minecraft — is what really makes people fall in love with this resource pack.
This texture pack looks unbelievably beautiful. The reason why it needs to show some resemblance is purely because people do not like change as they have become accustomed to what each block within Minecraft is supposed to look like.
Now, this is where the Green Hill Pack falls flat, as its textures — such as trees, gravel, and cobblestone — do not resemble their original forms in any sense. The pack heavily based around the original Sega Genesis Sonic games, hence its old school texture style. The creator has clearly put a lot of effort into this texture pack, but it is clear after reading the comments that a lot of people are confused by the drastic changes that have been made to each block.

Asphalt 9: Legends freemium 5. Second life had a weird attitude toward real life where it was not allowed to use your real name. To prevent "funny names" they gave a huge list of first and last names and let you pick. I'd rather have used my name. But that was it, those five things and the rest was empty. I was there, that's how I remember it. Kye 21 days ago root parent prev next [—].
You haven't lived until a dragon apologizes for stepping on you at a furry night club. Can you actually wear the heavy goggles for that long? PeterisP 21 days ago root parent next [—]. Probably - there are various large groups of people who wear a helmet every day for most of the day, and goggles are comparable in weight to that.
Between that and staring downward at the phone while walking down the street, this will all be a blessing for chiropractors.
Yes, and HMDs are only going to get lighter in the coming years. The problem is that the more you make the virtual world like the real world the less relaxing it is.
I don't have the mental energy these days for things that are too immersive. Some people are just not going to want to spend 8 hours a day interacting with people to go home and interact with other real people in a reality-like medium. It's up to you what you do in the metaverse. No one is forcing you to socialize. Then it's just VR. Corence 22 days ago root parent prev next [—].
Yeah, even things like gather. Having some virtual equivalent of physical space helps people socialize more naturally. Ah yes The company that created the biggest productivity sink ever will solve all of our work from home issues Two years ago I have built a base on 2b2t[1], located millions of blocks away from spawn, it took many hours of travelling through nether highways to get there.
Before starting the journey, I had to escape spawn a very dangerous area since 2b2t is an anarchy server and I had to find valuable items from scavenging abandoned bases.
After I finished my base, I made friends on the server, I have also helped building one of the highways, using a hacked Minecraft client that includes tools to build tunnels automatically[2]. There is also another server that I have visited regularly, MinecraftOnline[3], I built a house there and I made some friends, this one has rules and moderators unlike 2b2t which is an anarchy server.
On both servers there is a rich community, a subculture specific to the server, and even specific activities that stem from each server's subculture[4][5] Based on my experience, I have to agree with the article, Minecraft is an amazing and diverse metaverse.
It's just a shame the chat is so toxic. Most "hacked" clients that are commonly used on anarchy servers have additional options for chat, including spam filters and even options for hiding the chat completely.
I use spam filters a lot and sometimes hide the chat completely. One option that I like is hiding all messages except private messages. You make time for the things that interest you.
Also it does sound like you're mixing your run of the mill grindy MMO with Minecraft. Your MC world will still be there if you don't touch it for a week.
Even on a server. Okay, it may depend on the culture of said server, but that's exactly the point of the article. That means everyone has a job and other interests. We just show up and place our blocks when we feel like it. I just logged in yesterday after a 2 week break. People disappear for months. Nobody sees a problem with it.
Barrin92 22 days ago parent prev next [—]. During the pandemic in particular a lot of friends started to pick up VRChat, and a majority of people in my age group still regularly play games.
I think that's not that untypical honestly, I can see quite a few adults sinking at least a few hours per week into it if it gets interesting enough. Seconding this - have used VRChat a lot during the pandemic. Grimm1 22 days ago parent prev next [—]. How many people spend a lot of time on social media?
Billions, this is just providing a more immersive interaction for that. VR is only a tiny portion of that and I'm expecting AR and haptics and a whole bunch of other tech that enable more diverse sensory experiences to play a part here.
I don't really want "Meta" to own all of that largely because what made the internet successful was having no gatekeeper and a very low barrier to entry. Not that that's true anymore, but having no initial gatekeeper let people do crazy things for 30 years while the current gatekeepers were establishing themselves.
I think the end vision for the metaverse is to swallow up a lot of those time sinks in a typical lifespan. Working, shopping, socializing, etc. You answered your own question - it's a play for the next generation. My kids bounce between a multitude of shared digital spaces games, chat, social, videos etc and they would be right at home at some kind of metaverse that would bridge them all if that's even possible.
The amount of year old adults that play video games is pretty huge. BTCOG 22 days ago root parent next [—]. The amount of year old video gamers is huge. Maybe thinking of it as a separate experience is limiting how people make use of it.
I wonder if anyone has run remote team meetings or virtual classrooms in Minecraft as I imagine it would be a lot less fatiguing than Zoom style teleconferencing. The fact that in MC you can easily see where other players are looking adds a lot to the experience.
I think that's partially how the education edition is supposed to be used, but I've never actually seen it happen. Metaverse may not end up being something that you end up glued to for a long period of time exclusively, the interactions will also bleed into other parts of your life.
The main example would be that you could buy items for a Metaverse game in an online store on, and you would browse around there on your phone while you're waiting in line for coffee or the bus or whatever, just like we would do online shopping.
Metaverse would also wrap itself around a lot of the things people do already, like watch movies or concerts, coupled with games of any size and type. So as opposed to a stereotypical 6-hour WoW raid lifestyle, you could, for example, watch a virtual concert with friends, then afterwards jump onto a couple rounds of some Fortnite game variant, similar to how we do it today but just within the 'verse.
But you could also immerse yourself for longer if you want to. Honestly Metaverse seems more to me like a digital version of a big shopping mall with a bowling alley, arcade, and movie theater. You can hang out all day there or just drop in to get something from a store, or just get dinner and a movie. This includes a breakdown by age see table 9. In every single age group, the average person spends over 4 hours per day on leisure and sports activities, the majority of which is watching TV and very little of which is exercise or reading.
This is true even for people with children, with the exception of those with a child under 6 years of age. They spend an average of 3. It seems as though there is plenty of time for the metaverse. I feel the same. The other day there was a video submit to HN that I didn't watch because I wasn't in a situation where I could watch a video.
Basically making pancakes for kids, having an IRL conversation in the background, and checking HN while waiting to turn the pancake.
If HN was on metaverse where I have to get an immersive headset on to use it Yeah, I wouldn't be using it nearly as often as I do. As you get older, the best feature of our existing 'metaverse' is its ability to integrate with the 'meat-a-verse' seamlessly.
But what do I know old man yelling at clouds. Kiro 22 days ago parent prev next [—]. I also kick myself for not finishing things. Namely programming projects, my game backlog and lots of other things that are strictly digital.
While you seem to want to get away from the computer I want to spend more time in front of it. I don't mean this as a criticism of anyone. I do find though that there are types of people likely including you and I who feel compelled to move and do things such that our down time is extremely valuable. I do have kids which makes it quite a bit more challenging. I feel motivated on an hourly basis to accomplish things, though - it matters to me to make progress on the things I care about.
There are other people who very much don't care. To them, progress might be watching the next episode of a show, or grinding in some game they love. I'm fine with either type of person, really. It does explain why what seems like an impossible use of time to us is actually very appealing to others. Why would we be in there when there's a book to read, a concept to learn, people we don't see often enough, etc?
And yet, why wouldn't they? I think the metaverse aims to appeal to us as well eventually; imagine interactive classes on X or Y to help you learn faster with tools that are currently impossible? What if we could save time by seeing loved ones more easily in the metaverse, making more time for those things we want to make progress on? I'm not bullish on that, though.
It sounds creepy. I want to hug the people I love, hear them laugh in person, make them nice food. I'm not interested in expediting that facet of my life. Even now, despite growing up with webcams around I still find FaceTime fairly impersonal and uninteresting. I use it only when I really need to. More like 6 hours, if you consider work time, commute time for folks who'll still have to do that , meal prep, etc. But I don't think that's really the point.
People use those 6 hours in a bunch of different ways. Some of those hours might be replaced by a metaverse experience entirely as in, "I used to do play video games on my console, but I can get the same experience, but better, playing games in the metaverse" , and other activities might get nudged out because they aren't as subjectively enjoyable as the metaverse to some people.
And other people will just not do the metaverse thing, because other activities are more fun to them. FB is betting on the user group being very large, and I don't know that I'd disagree with them. And the same thing will always happen: people will continue to kick themselves for not finishing that book, or getting that extra workout in.
That will continue to be the case with or without the metaverse. Also consider that something like a metaverse could become the standard way for remote knowledge workers to get in a "room" together to collaborate.
That alone seems like a large user base. You're preaching to the choir. This is why I'd always rather read an article or a book than watch a video if I'm trying to learn something. I'll watch TV or a movie if I'm only aiming to be entertained. But for something I want to try to retain or if I'm trying to get business done, text wins for me.
The concept of the metaverse also involves doing those activities e. For instance, the home workout videos that people watch on their TVs these days could someday be replaced by an immersive fitness experience on AR glasses. There's way too many things to do in reality.
Go outside, people. Talk to your friends in reality if possible. Experience the place you live in; participate in something physical to improve it materially. There's no end of socialization and minigames in reality, the graphics are better, and it's free. The time I spend in Minecraft is either meditation time or social time. It's an even better experience when there's a modpack on the server with a near-infinite number of things to do, too.
Start with very little, build up from there. SavantIdiot 22 days ago parent prev next [—]. Now you can read the book in the metaverse! AndrewKemendo 22 days ago parent prev next [—]. This article and most people I have seen so far, get the concept of metaverse wrong.
It's much simpler conceptually though exceptionally hard technically than people understand. The metaverse is the result of instrumenting the real world to capture and interact with the data the real world provides. Think "Digital Twin" of the world that refreshes at Hz. It's not a place you go, it becomes the landscape you live in, because everything becomes a data source.
SLWW 22 days ago parent prev next [—]. I don't play much but I do like spending a few hours on occasion spending time with friends, playing a game we started to when we were teens. My recommendation to anyone who wants to play something creative, get on a voice call and get with your friends. That's sad. I love a good book. Working remotely? Most people have at least another 2 hours of screen time on top of that. I know I have days that are just screen time essentially. Lovely escapism.
I can go to the beach and the mountains and back in a half hour. People already spend hours and hours per day on social media, very often just to fill time and avoid boredom. I can absolutely see the metaverse taking up some of that time. PicassoCTs 22 days ago parent prev next [—]. And what about videogames? Some people spend thousands of hours each year playing videogames, and not all of them are high school or college students.
The ones that I have met did so because their children were into it. An hour or two a day adds up pretty quickly if you're building. We don't have 16h each day if we're working and sleeping, we have 8. As a parent of a 2 year old, I think I'll play again when he plays! Haha guess how I got into MC. I bought it for myself about 2 years after the kid wanted it for herself. With software improvements, our perception of time will eventually be slowed down in the metaverse to such an extent that one hour in the material world will equate to several days of perceived elapsed time in meta-reality.
Matrixik 22 days ago root parent next [—]. It's hard for me to believe one hour to several days but one hour material world to two hours would, probably, be already achievable.
Now I watch most videos on youtube at 2x speed. Do you have any context which would indicate this is possible? Only if we are cloned and are pure software beings. In that case, it is possible to run at a faster "clock speed". Of course, this is all in the realm of sci-fi. Might be sarcasm? No, it is not. Neither is Roblox or Fortnite, or VRchat. A single game or world is NOT the metaverse, what is so hard to understand about that for journalists and companies?
More specifically, the way we use the web today to navigate from webpage to another is how we we traverse the metaverse. The core problem that needs to get solved right now is interoperability, to enable the "web of 3D". Guest 22 days ago parent next [—]. The 2D internet works though because it's an efficient means of communication and data transfer. When I search the weather, check directions, send a message, book a flight, buy a shirt, or view the daily news, I can get that done fast on the existing internet.
I don't want to load a 3D world to read an article. I don't need to walk around as a 3D avatar to ask a friend what time they're arriving. It's inefficient. It's not the future of the internet. It's a gimmick or form of entertainment. That being said, I did think it was the future of the internet years ago when I was taking CAD files of products and turning them into interactive 3D Flash websites.
Then I realized my mistake. People don't want fancy graphics or animations when browsing the internet. They want data. They want it fast, and they want it organized and presented to them in the most efficient way. For that reason, I don't believe the future of the internet is the metaverse. The future will be something along the lines of neuralink, where information is instantly sent and received from the brain. Instead of spending 20 minutes reading a Wikipedia article, the information will be instantly sent to your brain.
Instead of pulling out your phone and checking directions to a restaurant, you'll know where to go just by thinking that very question. The internet will basically be an extension of your brain. What the internet knows, you'll know. That's the future. I underestimated Minecraft. I knew it is important, so I tried it out two years ago but dismissed it when I got killed by a zombie. I thought, fuck it, I don't need anxiety when it gets night in the game.
But then a friend of my son played Minecraft. I installed Minecraft on a Chromebook then I watched the children figuring out Minecraft. I figured out lot of things, too. When I discovered that they created a railway and put monsters onto the trolleys, first I had a hearty laugh then I got intrigued again. I showed them how to create a giant ice cube and dig narrow aisles inside it. Next they created a giant cube of TNT and set it off. Anyway, I think what will happen: you can't centrally create a world.
You need people. So when I read the article I found myself just nodding. People will find ways how to define and use the metaverse, not that company.
