Nothing complex,
The tools you are not using are either on a backpack that you are carrying or they are strapped to your back itself.
I like this idea because it adds more realism while keeping the game simple.

How will this make a difference if you already have all the tools without a backpack?

This will make a difference by just making it more less-eye soring to just see people magically carrying there tools in an invisible backpack and taking them out. Wont it be acuutally realistic to have your gun on your back, your pick and shovel on your legs, and you're grenade on your chest?

Is it actually realistic that the world is made out of blocks that are all the same size?

Realism.

You're playing a game that runs off the voxel engine.

You guys are flaming me because i suggested putting tools on your back..

It seems people do like to flame people for suggestions on this forum. Kinda like how you cant play a game with out running into hackers :/

But your idea is pretty cool and i think that would be a good addition!

We are not flaming at you.

You keep making lots of threads with not very good ideas.

You could just stop making a suggestion every 2 minutes.

Also if Ben was seriously interested in what we had to say, I'm sure he'd post on here.

I agree with Halloween, this is a pretty good idea! You should hold everything in your backpack and when you switch tools/weapons there should be a fraction of a second animation of you reaching back for something else. It would add coolness and appeal to the game without changing the actual gameplay. Nice idea, halo!

He doesn't have to post to be interested in what we have to say.

Thanks YourMom

You are contradicting yourself....

Why would you ask for a backpack when you also mention this:

"Wont it be acuutally realistic to have your gun on your back, your pick and shovel on your legs, and you're grenade on your chest?"

That's pretty much the way it is now, and for the sake of simplicity, I say leave it the way it is.

Galaxy, look at my first comment for the solution.

I understand what you said, I just noticed that he was contradicting his original suggestion.

k. still good idea nevertheless

Oh I get what you're going for, realism. I suppose then you'd need to be pulling a wheelbarrow for all the blocks you have, too. I mean, dozens of blocks won't fit in your pocket! And I guess you'd need paint buckets too, since you can change their color. Ben should add an animation for you recoloring the blocks, that's realistic. [/sarcasm]

Sorry, dude, but stop suggesting things. Please.
