- zyxley 11y agoI'm honestly surprised there's never been any sign of a "Minecraft: Lego Edition" (rather than the physical "Lego: Minecraft Edition"), with mechanics basically identical to Minecraft now except with all the terrain in-game made out of Lego blocks.
- DanBC 11y agoThere's was Lego universe, but they wanted dong-detection. http://www.exquisitetweets.com/tweets?eids=SOlZp2L8I8.SOl4CsO6YC.SOmhNAiuES.SOmlJ2T2Gq.SOmpjeGn1w.SOmwta15gX.SOmB4207kO.SOmJPgkOFU.SOmOl1j08a.SOmW0jPTRA.SOm72fKFfE.SOncwNl2SP.SOnlkgH05k.SOntnuAhGw.SOqg0uZR8K.SOqkXGJtbU.SOqrXBJruS http://www.exquisitetweets.com/tweets?eids=SOlZp2L8I8.SOl4Cs... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9639249 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9639249
- zyxley 11y ago> This is a roundabout way of saying "never build an online game for kids / I have no idea how Minecraft hasn't been sued over this yet" That's the basic problem of the MMO approach, rather than Minecraft's ad hoc and persistent private servers.
- bitJericho 11y agoYep that's an awesome feature. I just don't let the young ones play online, but if they want that group experience then the siblings can all play together but not with the public. Pretty cool.
- voltagex_ 11y agoThat's funny and sad in equal parts. I worry about just how many different detections you'd need - surely there's more than one "offensive" shape.
- jerf 11y agoUmm... I was going to say something to the effect of how it isn't technically an instance of the halting problem to detect penises in Minecraft, but it's pretty close in the face of a hostile adversary. Then I remembered that with redstone, to say nothing of command blocks, it really is close to the halting problem. Maybe not quite technically, since the detection program would be running in a context with significantly more resources (halting problem in the strict sense applies to Turing Machines with infinite resources), but it's still close enough to cause you a lot of practical problems, enough to say that it's probably an instance in practice even if not in theory.
- voltagex_ 11y agoWhat about a bot that logs into the server and observes block placement, then uses image recognition?
- vidarh 11y agoThe problem is it's 3D. It'd have to check from every angle, or all you achieve is that people get "creative" about arranging layers at different distances that'll line up when you approach it from the right direction.
- fencepost 11y agoI've been known to waste some time on a midsized MC server and the solution there was volunteer moderators and a willingness to ban misbehaving users. Watching chat also helps, since the dong-builders are also likely the ones being inappropriate in chat.?
- ChrisClark 11y agoThere is, the new Lego Worlds in Early Access. http://store.steampowered.com/app/332310/ http://store.steampowered.com/app/332310/
- anon4 11y agoAt least this is now not an MMO, so all dong-building will happen in people's personal worlds.
- PhasmaFelis 11y agoThere are skin packs that make all the blocks look lego-ish. I don't really get the appeal. Lego with only one kind of block is pretty boring.
