Introduction

THIS IS A GUIDE, NOT A GAME

“Cornucopia – Minecraft SG Aid” is for all Minecraft Survival Games (MCSG™) players, both skilled and novice. Its purpose is to serve the community with useful information regarding Minecraft game mechanics, maps, statistics, and items. We aim to represent the great MCSG™ service though an equally great smartphone application.

Wow this looks very good, any chance of adding the forums to the app?

 

[Swiftwork]

Hi VeeZa,

All sorts of improvements and features can be added, however those require two things.

1. Interest from the community
2. Cooperation with MCSG staff

Thanks for the input though, and a list of the most desired features will be composed at a later date

Kind Regards
Swiftwork

Wow, this is really cool. I will download when it is released.

 

[Lively]

Aside from the chest marking aspect of the maps, I really like this.

Wow, this is really cool. I will download when it is released.

The application is 90% done, and nearly all functionality is there, if you exclude the tips section. Currently what's left is:

1. Finishing of tutorial page
   
2. Additional Maps
3. Stats requires updated personal statistics pages.

Aside from the chest marking aspect of the maps, I really like this.

We realized that the chests might cause divided opinions, however we reasoned that they are inaccurate enough to give the player an overview of where they are, but not how/where they can be found.

I love this, I can't wait to beta test it. (public beta test, correct?)

[Diar]

This looks really cool! I'd definitely be interested in beta testing it.

 

[EzSp]

[Redjosepie]
