So, I've been enjoying this game for quite some time, after a while, Single player can get a bit boring, but I played SMP at a lan party recently and it turned out to be utterly fantastic, so I'm just wondering if anyone else has played Minecraft Alpha?

Oh man, you've been busy. My work so far consists of a string of small bases that I stash supplies in. All of them are so far apart that in order to not get lost I had to mark them with torches just to make sure I know which peaks are safe, and which are not. Dying is a PITA because then I spawn back on the beachhead, where the fortress isn't all to well supplied, as most of the valuable stuff happens deep in the mountains.
I need to build a tram line. Or a canal. Or both.
I approve of this server idea.

Not a plug, just a bit of info if anyone considers picking it up.
Buy it before the 20th and you get free updates for life. Buy it after (beta), and you get updates through beta and up to initial release. Beyond that is unknown.

You stated it wrong. It's, if you pick up the alpha, any update that is made will be free. You won't get free updates for life, there is no gaurantee that the game will be updated.

I just assumed that it would be assumed that you would get free updates as long as it was updated. :p Of course you can't get free updates unless there's an update available.

Give it a try. It'll either click, and click well, or it won't.X's Adventures has just convinced me to buy Minecraft and waste hours of my life. :lol:
Better yet, check out some of the YouTube offerings. They're surprisingly compelling. Over time, you see a home take shape, then a fortress, and then a kingdom.
I found X's Adventures in Minecraft (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bh4EexJO4I) and SeaNanners' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANgI2o_Jinc) offerings to be particularly fun.
So yeah, my girlfriend and myself got hooked. Wasted 2 days on getting it done till now. More than half of it was done with monsters on. Then we had a few creeper incidents, and decided to go and say "**** THEM!" and turned the monsters off.
Heh. We were still learning a lot here :)So yeah, my girlfriend and myself got hooked. Wasted 2 days on getting it done till now. More than half of it was done with monsters on. Then we had a few creeper incidents, and decided to go and say "**** THEM!" and turned the monsters off.
My "F-U" to the monsters is an elevated rail system. Whenever I start a new mine or project, the first thing I do is extend the rail system to the new site. (Chatéau du Gravier was the exception, since I was planning on blowing it up from the off.) Elevated rail can be a project unto itself, but when you travel at night, you can look down upon the monsters and mock them, an activity which is endlessly delightful. There's a few shots of the railway, mixed in with the shots of my pre-Halloween world (http://home.comcast.net/~blueflames/MinecraftShots/MCAcademy.htm).
A railway is one of my longterm goals... I haven't even found diamond yet though. :lol:You have a social life?
The Yogscast Minecraft series is amazing and I just wasted 2 days watching nearly the whole series.
Damn, Minecraft is gonna ruin my social life isn't it?
major landscaping is awesome.Copy/Paste 100,000 blocks
*snip*Saw some of vids of a plane mod on Yogscast yesterday. Have you played it?
I CAN'T play this game!!! It's the graphics card **** again!! :mad:We dont CARE.
on to other things, are you telling me that those are working planes in minecraft?Sort of, the server just moves blocks which have been designated "a plane" in the direction the user wants, afaik, they can't turn yet, but are able to fly sideways.
ah. Fun :Don to other things, are you telling me that those are working planes in minecraft?Sort of, the server just moves blocks which have been designated "a plane" in the direction the user wants, afaik, they can't turn yet, but are able to fly sideways.
In other news, the server is now running 1.5_02 and should have weather and all the other fancy features 1.5 comes with.
Did I just arse up the server again?
nah , I went through the portal, encountered tremendous lag and chunks that wouldn't load so tp'd /home and got kicked with an end of stream message D:
Currently in the process of building a completely useless castle/mountain base in singleplayer. I really should get out more. o_oLike a screenshot? Same keys as the windows version.
Does anyone know how to take pics in Mac?
Just started building a tower integrated into a natural spire into qaz's friend's server. No pics yet, but rest assured it's going to be pretty sweet.I've just been exploring this with shade, I think you may have 1-up'd everyone else on the server.
I like that castle :yes:Thanks.

Speaking from experience, when you go mining for diamond, in the deepest depths, iron (and redstone) is all you ever seem to find.

One of the reasons I like automap. Some say it's cheating, but in the end it's just digging for the things you really need. Cheating would be adding these things directly into your inventory.
Edit: I can't log on the server. Is it down? The server status is marked as online on the webpage.
Woo I got my first railway completed today! 900+ units in length.How the hell do you get that much iron?
My tower is nearing completion. The furnaces, lights, closets, and mine have been added, the Mortuary has been carved out, yet to be decorated, and the frame of the Chapel has been set up. After this is all done I don't know what I'll do...Link up with the underwater base? It's hardly being used and could do with development.
Minecraft's netcode is quite frankly, crap.
Woo I got my first railway completed today! 900+ units in length.How the hell do you get that much iron?
I dug the entire railway underground. Try hollowing out a 3x3 tunnel for 900 meters. You will find a LOT of iron. And if that fails, just make little branch tunnels off to the side. Best pattern tends to be two blocks in between each branch, branches are 1 unit wide.
I found out a way to get iron on my singlplayer map... go very very far in search of natural caverns. I have 9 iron blocks for 2 hours of exploring I think.
I have yet to find a way to get unstuck on the server... please help?

Not necessarily. Iron doesn't spawn too high above sea level, so you can bring down a mountain and wind up with little more than mud, stone, and a pile of coal.
By the way, for those whose minecraft handle isn't close to their HLP nickname, who is who? I've made some connections, but there are others I have no clue about (or may not even be from HLP as far as I know). Mine's fairly obvious, in that it is Shade there as well, just with a slight suffix.
Also, server appears down.
Also, I find cobblestone kind of ugly, so anyone wants their building converted to say, smoothstone, or something similar, I've got no problem doing it.
Those are some impressive rail systems guys!Indeed. After powered rails were added (and later fixed), everyone kinda went crazy. There's rail bloody everywhere now, and more being planned and/or laid down every day. It is, in short, awesome :D
Also, I find cobblestone kind of ugly, so anyone wants their building converted to say, smoothstone, or something similar, I've got no problem doing it.I don't really get this. I find smoothstone somewhat bland and boring, while cobblestone at least has some texture to it. I guess it might depend on whether one is using a texture pack or not though - personally, I'm using the stock textures.
I wonder if my leaning tower would look nice decked out in obsidian.It would :)
I think its that I find the default texture has too much variation in it, if you look at most other blocks, they've got a single main colour and a bit of variation to give it some detail, cobblestone however varies from a light grey to almost pure black, and it's this strong contrast that bothers me.Also, I find cobblestone kind of ugly, so anyone wants their building converted to say, smoothstone, or something similar, I've got no problem doing it.I don't really get this.

Or combine smooth, cobble and stone slate for maximum awesome.I'm having a hard time with stone slate, I'm not sure where to use it.
I think the interconnectedness is more of a case of so many people in such a small area running into each others mines. That said, no-one really owns the underwater base, I just built it one day, feel free to expand and build under there. :)
Is anybody missing netherrack and stairs or had their farms destroyed and chests rifled through?
And I have run into the Minecrafter's dilemma. Tonnes of cobble and no idea what to build.

Well, I finally started carving out a little piece of home on the server.
[snip]
As a matter of chance, I seem to have made my hovel a halfway point between civilization and the dwelling of another (possibly paranoid) recluse. If I've inadvertantly pointed the way to your hidden retreat, then I do apologize. I had no idea it was out there, until well after I'd finished the walls and floor of Heward's Handy Hovel.
I'm personally thinking of tunnelling into the bay south of my hovel and going the underwater dome route for a more permanent dwelling. I'll have to find a far-off desert and dig the whole thing up to make the glass, but the work makes the payoff that much greater in the end.
not enabling mobs on my serv, sorry.Are you talking about a different server? Because mobs have been back now.

What's up with the apparently huge stigma against wishing to take credit for one's work? I put up a sign saying that 'I made this' or 'I made part of this with the help of someone else who I figure will want to put their name down as well' (which is basically what artists do in real life), and I get yelled at for being stupid. When I try to explain my reasoning in a rational and mature fashion, I get kicked from the server without an explanation :banghead:
I'm sure being interrupted in real life while trying to explain my reasoning isn't helping my case, but kicking someone for doing something that they honestly see as being productive sounds like a pretty good way to create some nerd rage.
Only reasons I can think of is that maybe I worded the signs in a way that someone else can misinterprete them, or someone edited the signs into something else. Either way, I'm not intentionally trying to cause harm like a troll would.
I'm not logging back in until I get this resolved, as I don't wish to get banned over a huge misunderstanding.
Woahwoahwoahwoahwoah
Right, firstly, is this pece's server or the one I OP on?
Secondly, what was the quit message "kicked by admin"? We've been having a bit of downtime recently as you might be aware.
If so, any idea who did it? AFAIK, the three ops that we have are qazwsxal (me) rhx123 (close friend and server owner) and lixquid (a friend of rhx123 and aquaintance of mine.)
Also, what's your name on MC? I can check the logs, but not until tomorrow morning.
I haven't seen this stigma against "taking credit" personally, hell I think there's actually very few buildings without some form of identification as to ownership, so this is very odd behaviour by an OP.
I'll try and look into things, but getting names is going to be the best thing you can do for me at the moment.
We seem to have a stealth-griefer of some sort around.
I trust your door/chests are locked with the /cprivate command?
Also, make a note of what block it was, and when I pop on the server next time you're on, give me a shout and I should be able to use logblock to see what's going on.
I'm fine with removing it.
All that swastika needs to be, well, not a swastika, is to have the side paths extended to form a full square. It would seem wasteful to me to destroy the whole thing after clearly quite a lot of time has gone into it.
I'm fine with removing it. The only way I would allow you to do that, however, is with a massive pile of TNT.Well, uh, could you hurry up and do something to it? otherwise we're TNTing it 24hrs from now.
What is it with the lag? Sometimes it makes it near unplayable and at other times it's pretty smooth. At first I thought it had something to do with my connection, but they don't seem all that related. I'm not actually complaining, I usually just log off if it gets too bad, it just seems kinda odd.one of two things:
What is wrong with a svastika? It's a multi-meaning symbol.Yeah, open up any map of Taiwan and you'll see it all over the place.
hey.The same goes for our server, for anyone playing, dont update to the new meinkraft version until bukkit compatibility get in as well.
Just a warning or two, as the server runs bukkit, I will have to keep the server on 1.5_02 until bukkit updates. Therefore, if you want to play on the server untill bukkit updates, don't update your client until it says on the website or me/qazx say it's alright to.
Secondly, i'm expecting the offical nether to break the one using the mod, so feel free to take anything out of the nether before the update in case it does derp up.
It is that, but it is also a symbol some people find very offensive, due to one of those meanings. And as such, it is against the server rules (http://rhx123.atbh.us/minecraftserver/index.php?page=rules), specifically rule 5.
Can I have the hollow mountain next to my place removed?I'll see what I can do, Lixquid built it afaik

bleh, server got hit with griefers, hard.use permissions phoenix for permissions, dont put anyone in the "can build" group unless specifically cleared to do so.
most of spawn has been destroyed, so I'm going to have to rebuild that (by had this time, logblock doesn't track WorldEdit stuff) so I suggest that people check their places as soon as possible.
it's probably quite an isolated incident, but blarg.
Why not make a capital...with hallways you can walk in...insted of a gigantic fighter?128 levels of vertical space. 1 cube = 1 cubic meter.

So when will the server be updated for 1.6.4? Because I can't log into the server to check if I've been greifed.
So when will the server be updated for 1.6.4? Because I can't log into the server to check if I've been greifed.Griefing seems to have been contained within spawn mainly, I'm not aware of anyone checking "town" as such yet, so there might be some damage there.
I pumped the last of the water out of the fifth and final dome, then turned my attention to more utilitarian tasks, specifically a tree farm, so that I can stop butchering the forest around the lake every time I need wood.
(IMG snip)
Does your tree farm have 109 saplings? Neither does mine! But that's because I ran out of saplings before I ran out of cavern.
Tree farms seem to be something of a norm now, that makes 3.
I dont know about other ppl here but I forgot about not updating until the servers are so I am on 1.6 and cant play :(

Ok, what's the server address and what version is it running? I'm itching to try out SMP and I figure with HLPers is the best way to do so. :pThe one I op on is running on 50.22.36.159:25608, version 1.6.6 (I'd link you to the website, but it appears to be down ATM)
I just found the Optimine mod. Huge framerate boost on my crappy comp. I wonder if it will work on multi?
there IS an optimine for minecraft servers to help it run a bit more smoothly (chunk saving mostly), but it still wont effect anything net-side.Mind linking to this? I can't seem to find it, and since the forums combined with the curse network (*spit*), it's next to impossible to find anything specific, as well as offsite links are br0ken.
well crap, there used to be one for 1.3, my local server still uses it an everything but i can't find it anywhere... i also cant find a 1.6.6 server to test inserting normal optimine files on, but i'll do so when i can.Searching for optimine on the bukkit forums turns up a few links, but they are all discussing the client side mod (which I do use). Otherwise, I'm not getting anything... Well, there is one about setting up a RAM disk for world storage, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. :)
is there nothing on the bukkit forums to help optimize net-side or chunk saving? they would probably be better at it then a forum of client-side mods.
Subway's just above bedrock can be a pain. So much lava.
So, I kind of decided that I wanted to make a combination lock. Nothing complicated.... I just want this little keypad (http://home.comcast.net/~blueflames/MinecraftShots/Multiplayer/Domes/Lock01.png) to turn off this little torch (http://home.comcast.net/~blueflames/MinecraftShots/Multiplayer/Domes/Thumbs/Lock02.png). Easy! Right?
I have RS NOR latches recording buttons pressed in the correct order, using AND gates to determine if the button pressed was the correct button. I'm building a separate set of AND gates to determine when a button is pressed out of order, in which case a circuit is triggered to reset the state of all of the NOR latches.
It's all simple enough, in theory. It gets quite a bit more complicated, when you take into account the relatively limited space, how easily redstone wires like to link to one another, and how fickle repeaters are about where they get and deliver their power. Also, I caught a sudden and severe case of Incompetent, while building the reset circuit, so there's inverters being placed and removed left, right, and center. I'll be coming back to it tomorrow.
I found the usual, holes in walls next to locked doors, etc.
I never understood the point of locked doors anyway. Everybody knows that a lock is only as good as it's door, a door is only as good as it's wall, etc. The only people locked doors keep out are the honorable, non-malicious folks.While I do agree that a locked door is useless unless the supporting walls are either protected or made of bedrock, I do think that they do have a purpose as a notification that the owner of the door doesn't want anyone wandering around in the area past the door, especially since signs stating as such are easily missed.

Server runs in online mode, it'll check your account against the minecraft authentication server. If you don't have a valid account, you won't get on the server.
I made an account on minecraft.net, it's called "Habilis2". I already tried going on an online game there and it worked (however, extreme lag!).
I'm hesitant to start using TNT at this point because I'd need to blow up rather large sections. I'll leave it to you guys to figure out how to proceed. You see, I use TNT with reckless abandon. :lol:

Isn't there anything I can do to circumvent this "buy" option? :lol:

Bite me. A great deal of time and effort has been invested into Minecraft, and the people who invested it have attached a pricetag to their work. If you're not willing to pay it, you should check your smug sense of entitlement at the door.
You see, the problem here is, we're not much into credit cards, so we are a rather "illegal" people. There are pirated stores everywhere, so "illegally" getting a game is actually what's normal for many of us.qaz's server is paid-only. mine isnt. but no logging in via normal client. and no, i'm not helping you. and no, you're not welcome.
Again, there's this Bad Login error coming up! Is this server accepting only those who paid?
BlueFlames, my ladder is not harming you. I swear.

Question: how does one make a return portal from the nether. All overworld portals link the the central one.You can make them, IIRC, they just need to be far enough away from each other (over 1024 block in normal world), or if you build one, go to the nether, and build the other one inside the nether, it should work out. http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Portal

Shame on the top 4 for destroying more than they create. :lol:Everyone except for hunternclark has destroyed more than they've created. Makes me wonder how hunternclark does it...
Considering I've only been on the server for a week and a half or so, and most of that time has been spent trying to figure out the Java connection problems, I'm pretty pleased with my rankings. :pShame on the top 4 for destroying more than they create. :lol:Everyone except for hunternclark has destroyed more than they've created.

Apparently my castle didn't quite net me enough created blocks, because I've been mining a lot. :PShame on the top 4 for destroying more than they create. :lol:
Except in the case of building solely with mob drops and wood, you have to destroy more than you build. You have to mine resources to build with and on top of that, additional resources to build the tools to do your mining with (or anything else you may decide to craft). What's more, when you give someone else materials that you mined for him/her to build with, you get credited with destruction, while the other player gets credit for creation. That means that the five large chests of cobble that I provided for the Fenris are ~24,000 blocks destroyed that I won't be adding back into my creation total, unless I become heavily involved in that project.
Personally, I think Notch is a comic book supervillian, who is trying to convince us, at a subconscious level, that we must destroy the world in order to create his utopia.
Anyone tried Industrialcraft?Regular Minecraft is quite complicated as it is for me. Every time I try a mod that adds new stuff I have no idea what to do. :lol:
...So rather than finding my way out, my brother (another avid Minecrafter) suggested I just start digging stairs out...
I also think I might grab Minecraft and check out the server. However, I have a question. I've seen around the Minecraft forums that if you bought the alpha version, you get free updates for life. But Minecraft has now moved in to beta... So my question is this: If I buy the beta version, do I still get the free updates? Or in speed-reading the forums, have I misunderstood something?
**SAD NEWS**
Unfortunatly, the company which I rent the server from is going to change hands or go kaput very soon (talking a day).
Moving to another server hoster won't be a problem, however I won't be able to afford the price increase.
If this happens, how would people feel about giving me a small donation on paypal every month (I'd only need about £2 each of 3 people) to make it work.
Sorry about this, if the worst comes to the worst I will upload the map and config so you can continue work on the fenris and whatever.

We got a big issue. :sigh: All the exploring of new land has (for me and it seems also Sandwiched) since this morning upped the loading time after connecting to about 1 minute. I think those new world chunks may have to go, I doubt it's just dynamap which lagged us. No intent to point figures but, this will be a problem unless having a huuuuge server. Maybe we should define boundaries not to go beyond (-800,-800, -800,800, 800,800 and 800,-800 or something similar).i think that a radius of 3-5 kilometers would work well.

Single player.
I'd just like to say a few things, mainly to pecenipicek.I never implied that you coerced anyone, nor implied anything. Most of my "anger" in this thread is directed at qazwsx's complete ignoring of some valid suggestions to how you could fix your server stability problems.
Firstly, my server is not in any way official to HLP.
I started it to play with friends, and as qazx, who is a real life friend of many years mentioned some people in this community would like a place to play together, I agreed to let him advertise it here.
I have never coerced players into my server over any others, implied my server is better than any others, or said to people at any point if they play on any others I won't let them play on mine.
People know your server(pecenipicek's) is there and another equally good server.My quip there was that i could host the server for you either temporarily or that we could join the worlds in the server. When i saw that message, i joined the irc channel and asked qaz, "It seems you have problems with your MC server", or something to that effect. He immediately responded afterwards that its been sorted out, blah blah. Fine. I logged off and edited my message on the forum.
However, when I have to sort a hosting problem out that is not my fault, on the penultimate day before what was arguably the most important exam of my entire life, and I find you seem to find this is the best time to quote my post to advertise your server did make me feel a bit sad.
Running the server costs both of us, and the more players I have on my server the higher tier I will need to accommodate these players, thus meaning I have to pay more.To clear out some things here, my server is on a spare pc i have here, and realistically, i dont pay anything extra for it, as it doubles as a local server for some other things for my "work". (the only upgrade it might get is another 2 gigs of ram, but thats another matter) Initially, i put on the server for me and my girlfriend to play on, later on, i invited Kyad over to play as well. Then a few others joined, including my gf's sister (who's proven to be the most prodigious builder around).
People will choose which server they want to play on by playing on them and deciding which one they want to put time into, not as much by readings others posts on them.No argument there, but guess whose server is the most mentioned :D
So please qazx can you put pecenipicek's server IP in the first post so it's totally fair, and just let people make their own mind up rather than pecenipicek or me saying "his server is crap play on mine".No need. qaz made his opinions towards our server quite apparent after one of his visits to it.
I don't wish to start a flamewar, just saying there's no need to be abrasive towards my server when it comes up for discussion.Neither do i.
Have you considered starting a similar project on your server? Since the Fenris is about as big as you can get (vertically) in MC, how about starting to build an Aten or Argo?
For the record, I suspect one of the primary reasons rhx's server has been getting the lion's share of attention lately has been because of the Fenris project I initiated over there. The only reason I chose that server over yours was because when I asked for server details, whoever answered me gave me rhx's IP, not yours.if our main humongous project builder hadnt defected over to your end, we could :p

An Aeolus could probably fit comfortably as well. That'd also come with the fringe-benefit of serving as a wonderful excuse to build some TNT cannons (where the side flak emplacements would be).Now that gave me the screaming heeby-jeebies...
How do you make a TNT cannon that doesn't explode with each use anyway? Obsidian?yea. or water, but i'm not 100% sure on the construction side of it. the minecraft wiki should have more info.

You've never seen the Herc i made on Pece's server have you? Cause we kinda beat you to the punch on that one. :D
It can be seen easily from dynamap if you don't want to log on, alongside all the other awesome stuff.
The idea of an Aten was thought of before, being fewer then 64 meters tall and relatively flat it would be able to fit 1:1 without mining down at all. unfortunately, I know that the Herc took me so long, even mapped out -similar to your fenris plans, only on graph paper- that the idea of doing an Aten alone scares me a bit, even with the use of CreativeStick. (which is kinda cheating, at least by the Fenris project standards)
Perhaps when the Fenris is done an Aten project can begin on Pece's server
I was thinking about making a beam outa green wool. XDHey Sandwiched, for the Fenris are you going to add engine flames/lights/wool?I was thinking more along the lines of lava falls along the rear. Cover the lava with glass from the inside, but leave it exposed on the outside.
Hmm... after Fenris is complete, how about making a subspace jump effect in front of or behind it, out of blue/white wool, lightstone, and glass? :p
i'm skeptical about people coming to my server. if i had the time, i could build the thing myself. but i dont, so there.
/me goes off to make sure that permissions work correctly and all that...i'm skeptical about people coming to my server. if i had the time, i could build the thing myself. but i dont, so there.
I'll jumpstart the Aten/Aeolus/Argo project on your server myself... if I can manage to connect (I have severe timeout issues depending on what time of day it is here when I try to play multi, apparently).
I might stop by a percenipek's server this evening, I'm not really one for building the Aten, since I prefer to just let myself go nuts rather than have a preset project, but, at the very least, it'll give me some experience of how this thing works in multiplay ;)go nuts. there are tons of unused houses, and unless you find a sign on a house that its claimed by someone, feel free to take whatever you find in chests.
I've recently been dumping a lot of wood and cobblestone in the main house for newbies to use, so you should have enough material even for an elaborate project. Just remember to resupply the chests after youre done :)btw, i fixed the permissions now, you and everyone else in the "normals" group can use the portals and the /fly command.
I also noticed you can't light stuff using flint and steel. Can that be fixed?yeah. note, i'm still not letting anyone set fire to wood and stuff tho :p
Can you at least set it to be able to light netherrack? That's the only thing I'd set fire on anyway, as it burns indefinitely and looks cool :pI also noticed you can't light stuff using flint and steel. Can that be fixed?yeah. note, i'm still not letting anyone set fire to wood and stuff tho :p

Trying to get Dynmap working :/ Being a pain in the bum, though I'm trying it on Localhost at the moment.on your private server? just bump it in the plugin folder on your server, restart the server, check the configs for the port number, check your local IP address, type <local ip address>:<port number>
What browser are you using? I just get endless whitescreen :(firefox 4.0.1?

From the Bukkit site. I'll have to re-get the URL for the map for your server and see if I can load that one.
Was trying to explain the appeal of the game to a friend, the best I could come up with was like 'It's like your own lego kit, but with explosions....'get him over to our server? i can add his nick to the "allowed to build" list immediately.
:eek2: 102 diamonds?Apparently most people just dont do enough mining...
Pece, you really really really need to disable that guard thing around your house. I keep getting stuck in it and there's no way to get out without you admin lot >.>fook. oh well. consider it fixed next time you log on.
Also, /chunkme doesn't help me either, I've already tried it.
So turning creeper explosions back on would be fun?
Hmmmm...

Good god, I thought the map was sizeable already. Did somebody just pick a direction and see how far they could walk in a realtimedayweek?
Stumbled into some new caves (in mineshaft A2), but didn't have time to explore them...full of monesters, so I backed down and am saving them for later.
Also ran into lesser caves and new connections...the cave system now linkes Mineshafts A and B, my castle, DJ mines and probably a few other locations - as I ran into minecarft tracks and stairs probably built by someone else.
Also, i ran into a lot of slimes, but they all seemed bugged, as they were sticking inside walls and couldn't be hit.
and yea..Netherworld portal at hte bottom of Mineshaft B is now active.
Having seen that pistons can animate whole walls an secret caves I wonder how long it'll be until we see a player made goatse dungeon :wtf:

Hey BlueFlames, its your end of the rail line extensible? I've been thinking I'd continue it on to my place once things are more, erm... visitor-friendly. :)
Finished the mob grinder behind the leaning tower. It is pretty much a mock of the design sandwich found.
My house got broken into and my valuables got stolen. Lesson learned: security is important.
There's a TNT vault!? *drools*Yes, I contributed about ten stacks to it. Such power.
edit: except the server cannot be accessed, I guess it's still running 1.6.6 code.
I fear that the only way to stop this empire's expansion is to quickly finish the Fenris and prepare it for orbital bombardment. Or the peasants need to over throw the emperor.
If the rebels need a vampire for anything I will assist them!
(This is a great excuse for RPing :P)
May go practise on SP for a while with the pistons. :)
In an effort to prevent a possible conflict along our borders from spilling over into our homes, the council has decided to take action. We will be constructing coastal defenses, checkpoints, and barriers along our border with the two tyrants.

Waht I don't understand is why the patch is even realsed befiore the bukkit is ready.....bukkit is not notch-made.
One way to make an elivator that springs to my mind is to put a piston on a piston on a piston....on a piston.That's what I thought, too.... but can pistons be placed on pistons?
Say if your floor is 4 blocks high, then you put 4 pistons on top of eachother in a 4 blocks deep hole. Then activate all 4...whihc should lift the player up to the next floor. Deactivating hte pistons would lower the elivator.
EDIT: BlueFlames, I presume you deleted your reply due to the obvious bug in the idea you suggested therein? :p #emailnotificationsFTW
My elevator was indeed made out of a column of sticky pistons, one on top of the other. It worked in the mod version of pistons, but the official implementation of pistons change the sticky behavior so that blocks (or pistons) only remain "stuck" to a sticky piston while it is retracting. Once it's retracted, if it's then further pulled by a 3rd sticky piston, it won't bring along the first one with it. In other words, you can chain-push pistons, but you can't chain-pull them. :no:Can you use redstone repeaters to try and make it work?

Can you use redstone repeaters to try and make it work?Err... let me explain.

--------------------------------------------------------
Can you use redstone repeaters to try and make it work?Err... let me explain.
Assume a mere 4-block high elevator of sticky pistons (which of course extends to 8 meters). We'll call activating the bottom piston "+1", the one above that "+2", etc (accordingly, "-1" and "-2" would be removal of power). To fully raise the 4-piston elevator, the required redstone activation sequence is simple: +1, +3, +5, +7.
However, due to the way sticky pistons aren't sticky unless they're actively retracting, lowering the elevator is considerably more complex, since a retracting piston can only pull a single block. Even if that block is a retracted sticky piston, whatever it's "stuck" to will not come along. Therefore, to retract the elevator you'd need to do as follows: -7, -5, -3, +4, -4, -1, +2, -2, +3, -3:
T = an extended piston arm
U = an extended piston base
O = a retracted pistonCode: [Select]8: T
7: U -7 O
6: T T O O O
5: U U -5 O T O O O O O
4: T T T O +4 U -4 O O O T O
3: U U U -3 O O O T O +3 U -3 O
2: T T T T T T O +2 U -2 O O O
1: U U U U U U -1 O O O O O
--------------------------------------------------------
If you can figure out how to program that sequence in redstone (not to mention the required sequence for a 12-piston elevator), please speak up. :D
*lots of stuff I don't understand*Yeah.... I think I'll pass. :P
Food for thought: If one can use pistons to duplicate blocks.. and one leaves it on auto duplicating TNT indefinately.. can one destroye the MC world?
* Creating signs gives you 10 seconds to type them, then they reset if you haven't pressed done. When sign is created the game announces you made a PRIVATE sign.Signs are no longer private by default, at least in the config, testing with non-ops required, but it works for me.
* People get the message that a PRIVATE chest created when dropping a chest, they are possibly not public.Same as signs, changed the LWC config file, should work for everyone, again, needs testing.
* Warping is not possible, no-one is permitted to warp (unless intentional to force railroad use, which would be silly as it makes building elevators or tunnels between A and B very time consuming and dangerous).Permissions config didn't include warp command, fixed.
what ever happened to that ginormous offshoot of land?
Apparently I was banned indefinitely without possibility of repeal. Wonderful. I wasn't even on the server in the past 3 weeks.What? I'm not aware of this. It might seem a stupid question, but are you connecting to the right IP? Is it actually saying that you're banned?
There goes my only reason to play Minecraft.
Oh, dynmap works now, it's no longer causing crashes.what ever happened to that ginormous offshoot of land?
It's still there, thoroughly breaking dynmap from what I understand.

I just got killed by warping home....Yes, warping home killed me..and my entire inventory (I was stocked full) is gone.
No sing of the stuff anywhere!!!
I'm I the only one who likes the old cobble better?
I had to get used to the cobble at first but now it really looks a lot more like actual rocks/cobble in cement as it's supposed to.Which doesn't really work for castles. :blah:
Castle Clamidia? :lol:
It obviously didn't provide as much protection as intended ;)
I can join other servers, and yes I updated.
It's giving me an error I don't usually see and can't be mistaken for anything else: You're banned, bro! (paraphrased)
I can vouch for the authenticity of that screenshot, I checked myself tonight.
DarkRevenantX is most certinaly not banned, the server needs to crash or be restarted for the change in banlist to take effect, screenshot of list attached.

Yes! Same with wool in my guardtower, maybe Notch made fire spread easier. I got caught on fire by embers when walking well around lava. Never happened that easily pre-1.7x.I'm not sure about fire spread, I just made some fire lamps in my cellar and the just poked right through the layer above it.
I've lost count of how much diamond I've lost already. o_o
BTW, are there any castle-like structures on pece's server? I want to build a bigger one than the one I have on Richard's server, but I don't feel like making 2 on the same server.
We seriously need LogBlock back, what's the status with SQL?Take a look at DataLog. I'm experimenting with it and it's been really good so far. Even ships with a php frontend for DB queries.
I will never understand how you guys keep falling into random lava pits.
I will never understand how you guys keep falling into random lava pits. The only time I've ever fallen into one is when the sandpit I was mining had one directly underneath it when I started mining. It was the oddest thing.

The open lava is for the piston powered cobble farm which is still a work in progress, I'll glass it over tonight to prevent this from happening again.
I got killed several times by warping back home. Changed my home point several times too. The last home point didn't kill me so far...but then again, my first warp point didn't start killing me untill a week ago. I swear, it's something with the server or minecraft, cause I never had problems before.
Wouldn't be so bad if half the time I'm killed I don't also loose my entire inventory!!! Which is even more irritating if youre warping back from a mining session and you're full.
I lost a metic s***load of stuff....
Has the nether been mass protected? I was about to start on another segment of my nether-rail and found that the only things I could place were minecarts and the only things I could remove were minecarts. Ghasts however were still able to perform their own brand of explosive spit based terraforming.

My initial outpost in the north is complete!
I dont mean to be a dick or anything, but this is SMP and not creative. Sure I understand the fenris needs them, but if you want to play creative go on p's server as thats what that is. The warp plugin was put on without my permission, and although I understood it was just for the spleef, if it wasn't on there in the first place no-one would have noticed.
I support your decision to remove warps rhx. I think using railways adds an element of challenge that makes the game more enjoyable.Should I expect presents then? :D
Also Swantzaclause's workshop will be producing much more than coal. :)
I'm not entirely sure how to fix it cause the station is one of Hunternclark's setups...Yep, 1.7.3 is supposed to fix the piston dupe bug, among other bugs. Remember kids, don't update until you hear otherwise from the server admins! :)
BTW... new Minecraft update.
May I get building permission pecenipicek *hopeful face*?still the same.
I'm currently stuck in a cave which I can't climb out of, can't warp out of, can't die in, and can't dig my way out of due to no permissions. And it also seems if you remove a block, jump past it to start climbing up before it's replaced, it warps you back to where you were before you jumped through it.
Not that you have any idea how trustworthy I am to believe my promise that I am trustworthy but I promise I am trustworthy.
Still on vrganjko.no-ip.org:25565 or has it been changed somewhere in the last 37 pages?
Yeah, the crashes were why I stopped playing on Windows...linux is waaay worse in that matter from experience.

java -Xms512m -Xmx768m -jar Minecraft.exejava -Xms512m -Xmx768m -jar Minecraft.exe <username> <password> <server:port>For what it's worth, I used to have crashes all the time until I put a limit on Java's memory. Place the following line in a .bat file in the same directory as minecraft.exe:Side note: In my experience, it seems that this may work for windows, but java on the Mac is a somewhat different beast. When I added -Xmx1024m to mine, it improved things from the default of nothing specified. The windows side, I didn't have to touch, it runs smoothly.Code: [Select]java -Xms512m -Xmx768m -jar Minecraft.exe
Lemme know if that works for you.
Also, those of you with 64-bit Windows should definitely be running 64-bit Java, not 32-bit. I've heard that that can cause crashes as well.
EDIT: Also, another handy tip for those of you who play online a lot:Code: [Select]java -Xms512m -Xmx768m -jar Minecraft.exe <username> <password> <server:port>

So much as put a torch on it and it will all fall down.I was wondering what were you up to over there XD :p
Just bucketed several hundred blocks of lava from the Nether to justify a waterfall.
*images snipped*
Our world is full of those for some bizzare reason. i have no clue as to the why of it however. And players arent complaining anyhow.*snipped pic*
Nice chunk error... :yuk:

Well, I have deemed the cave to be cursed. To update the situation from my previous post: I logged back in today, the zombies were still there, it was still laggy, and I died instantly. I died about a dozen more times trying to get my stuff back and I still lost my original diamond sword. I made sure the whole dungeon was lit up and the caverns around it are completely lit. The dungeon itself is closed off and empty.
Infinite amounts of zombies still spawn from it, even now. Coordinates are -752, 10, 1441.
I recorded a video and uploaded it for download. (http://www.thecouncilofmages.com/sc2/FFFFUUUUUU.mp4) "Save as", please.
After watching the video, can an admin please tell me WTF is going on? Honestly, this kind of BS has cost me basically diamond block in just a week.
You guys actually use the default Minecraft textures? Yuck. :pActually, I still do because I've yet to find one that I like overall, but doesn't make it hard to spot ore.
my jaw dropped to the floor with a resounding *THUD*You guys actually use the default Minecraft textures? Yuck. :pActually, I still do because I've yet to find one that I like overall, but doesn't make it hard to spot ore.
It may be just because I'm used to the stock textures, but that's the case for me. Besides, it's part of what makes minecraft, well, minecraft. :)
If you really want to go nuts, check this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxv8x52PGZU

I think my grinder is messed up. When I walk up to it, or on initial connect, it works, but when I stand at the goodie deposit, it stops working.

Yeah, for some strange reason 1.7.2 and 1.7.3 both work with the server. As far as I know, the server is still running a bukkit build based off 1.7.2 however.exact same situation here, on my end at least. i did notice some iffyness with some things, like broken/placed blocks and entities sometimes dont update, chunks refuse to load and such. either a complete client exit/re-run is needed, or sometimes a re-connect works.
Phase 2 of the Grand Wall has now begun. We estimate a 40%-50% teritorial expansion upon completion.
Also, TrashMania train station has been expanded. Visitors from Fenris will find larger and more confortable rooms for cavity searches, restrooms and information and storage areas.
Yes. Bring TNT. :p

The one with my castle.. At hte bottom of Mineshaft B there is a are designated Slime Hunting Area.
Noticed that Slimes do occasionaly spawn there.
Fear not!
The Emperor protects!
I puta few slimballs and sticky pistons are in the castle storage. Help yourself to them.
I got a stack or two of railways in the storage room too.
I'd like to request that anyone benefiting from the Fenris site's resources commit to putting in some time at some point in helping us clear land in the marked-out area, or some other way to give back. :)
If you do want to help clear out land, but don't have access to the TNT chest, ask if someone else on the server who does have access can get out half a stack or something (just make sure to mention it's for the Fenris project). Also, please post in the Fenris thread (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=76953.0) beforehand; if we don't recognize your username, we'll be pretty reluctant to hand you TNT. :p
I'll try and pitch in as soon as I've got easy access to the construction site - it's a fairly epic trek to where I am now from Trashman's empire. Although, someone has explored out this way before.
There is a railway from trashmania to fenris IIRC, however I don't think its completely finished yet.
Oh and theres usaully tones of slimes in the drop cave.
You know, there's already perfectly serviceable railway system that can get between TrashMan's Castle and the Fenris.
It does need some clearing up, but if we keep this up we'll have railway lines crisscrossing all over the place with no one using them... just FYI.
Right I edited the railroad from Fenris-Trashpire. It now loops and stops at both ends with a button to continue. It also stops at the catacombs, an almost 2000 metres tunnel of about 20x20. Don't randomly go wreck things there (no TNT either!) and don't throw torches all around, or I'll hide the entrance as fast as I gifted access to the server. :) WARNING: The hatch to the catacombs is one-way only, it goes down. To go up one needs a password, can walk it all the way through to either one of the not-yet-so-clear exits or /warp and /home to a waypoint. Soon there'll be a huge nether-gate, unpreceded by any previous endeavours to reach a different station than the Kastra-built one. It should offer a new nether area to harvest glowstone etc from, given that fortunately placed glowstone around the netherstation has been taken by now.
That was me talking to you, I got kicked off a few seconds later.i've been yelling at them. basically, they were having some maintenance in my area, its been finished around 6AM my time, and for some reason, something ****ed up and they've had already more than a 100 calls of the same type of problems. I expect it to be solved today, but you never know... -.-
@Pece : Yeah, Yoko and I have been trying on and off all evening, and the connection has been awful. I'm not sure what your ISP are doing, possibly pouring glue into the routers ;)
Not at all the point of what you're saying, but what would glue do to electronics? It doesn't conduct (unless its a really watery one), so the most it would do is jam fans, retain heat and prevent you from opening the case up again. Would a router still work with glue poured into it? Is that what they were testing out?
let us hope so. report if anything acts up, and i'll go yell at them some more.Not at all the point of what you're saying, but what would glue do to electronics?

It's a holdover from before digital technology was widespread to be honest, pouring glue into mechanical stuff would make it jam up and run really badly, I'm just showing my age ;)

Yeah..for some reason, even my nether gate linked to the nether station...despite it beign really far away from any other nether gate...
I'll try putting a nether gate at the top of the second keep...that should be interesting.
I know the distances in Nether.
I still can't see how my portal linked to the exact same place....unless all overworld portals withing 500 blocks will always link to the same place.
Thwre is literally no other portal for 2-3 chunks around mine.
EDIt:
After reading a bit on the wiki, the overwolrd distannce between portal has to be 1024 blocks if yo udotn' want them to link to the same netherworld portal...that's just..daft
I'm going to try using lava and water to make an on-off switch today on a portal.
Water dissapears in the Nether. how do oyu deactiveate a portal o nthe Nether side wiht it? You have to break the obsidian.
Lava IN the portal breaks it too. As would a piston pushing a block in and out. Or a piston moving obsidian if that is possible.Pistons can't move Obsidian blocks iirc
CRAFTGATE! MG-1That is super cool. I'll try something like that later on Pece's server.
A stargate-esque shutdown system. Now to find a way to autolight it repeatedly.

Ran into this while happily mining, wtf?!
Can I ask who built the mob trap/grinder at the Fenris station? Would they be able to teach me how to make them/point me in the direction of a tutorial/diagram?
I just spent the last 2 nights spelunking a cave system I encountered at diamond level below my house. I'd dug down, intending to start a branch mine to get resources for a rail system to my house, and 10 blocks into the second tunnel I encountered a lava lake. Out came the water bucket, and the lake was now obsidian! It also connected me to this massive cave system. I found something like 12 stacks of coal, 8 of redstone, 4 of iron, a half-stack of gold, and a whopping 3 diamonds. :blah:
Once fully explored, I resumed my branch mine tunnels. 30 minutes and 5 tunnels later, and I had found ~15 diamonds. :rolleyes: :p
Hello all! Been pointed this way by Ravenholme. :P I love Minecraft and the possibility of joining a good server is one ill jump at!
I abandoned my old home completely, as it was in a terrible spot with nothing interesting around it. So if anyone finds a rectangular, two-storey fort with no doors, feel free to mine your way in and help yourself to anything that's left there.

any progress on the fenris? I haven't minecraft, so I can't see it ingameI don't think anyone's worked on it since I added the top side of the midsection. I even had to stop that because I don't have any more grey wool. It's just a frame and a wall, IIRC.

Most of the side is smoothstone, yes, but the portion of the Fenris side that hasn't been filled in yet (the gap up and to the right of the airlock door) needs to use a darker material than the rest. Netherack (or however it's spelled) should be good enough for the red detailing, but I don't want to add that until I have the darker stuff in place.I don't think anyone's worked on it since I added the top side of the midsection.

Anyone on Peci's server under the name NamelessGuy1? Not a name that brings an image of trust to mind ;)I am NamelessGuy1. I was considering having quite a few of NamelessGuy# out the front of Hades' house with swords, to look like attackers. NamelessGuy1 was the first, a test guy if you will (he currently has my sword). But I realised that the server would get too laggy as would my bandwith so I rejected the idea.

If you wait for 1.8 you get all those new fancy kaki bricks and such. You could make a pyramid. ;)
I'm not sure those bricks are actually Khaki, most people think that's the new more resource intensive lighting system that Notch is introducingFixed that for you. :P
If you need Sugarcanes I have a few stacks I harvested from my farm... I'm pretty sure Kyad has ton too from his lake.
Yea if you farm a bunch around a lake and break only the top 2 layers (hit the middle layer to break the top and middle canes at once), then you can replant those next to the excisting canes and they'll grow too.
I'll give them to you if I see you online in minecraft and you still need them. Don't be afraid to ask for anything else you might need!

Oh, and hello, sorry, was away feeding the cats...again ;)THE RAM IS HERE! **** YEA!
I think that Shade's first rail line between his house and spawn is what really lead to the growth of the server, there was an infrastructure already in place for people to start building from.
Oh dear god! BTX class motherboard! It buuurns!No and dual channel wont work properly either, as the sticks are different, one is a 2 gig, the other is a 4 gig.
Also, if I am reading your BIOS pic right you don't have dual channel, which is a shame since it would seriously increace your IO (as in x2). A 2nd 2gb stick for dual channel might have been a better alternative then a 4gb in single.
On that note, I just found a vicious bug the hard way: when you use water to uproot rails that are on a slope, they don't drop rail items. Lost 20 powered and 56 regular rails just now. :(Aaargh! Damn, that sucks! If you need gold, I can send any excess I come across your way. (Easy for me to offer, since I have no extra right now, haha.)

So no one besides sara is going to give me ideas for the giant raised platform huh?
LOL, I'm glad you got the RAM. And yes, British Engineering strikes again with the packaging ;)XD
To be honest, I could have put it in thicker padding than a couple of bits of kitchen paper wrapped around the box, but unless someone was planning to sit on it in the post office, which whilst not impossible is not likely, the little plastic case it came in was pretty much suited for the job :D
Edit: Also, we had two padded envelopes, one was about 5mm too short to close with the box in it, and the other was A3 size, which would have just looked ridiculous ;)

SLENDER MAN pmfeo,gsopm,pmpsm[arrgh
A few nights ago I got bored, and decided to look at the source code for some of the mods used on my main server. I was palling around in the movecraft mod, when I discovered a secret. It was never documented, and has wondrous and terrifying implications: Hyperspace.Fo real?! Where can I see that?! :eek:
Currently the function is a wee bit finicky, but if you can calculate the coordinates right, you can take your vessel across the map in a jiffy, provided you don't botch the jump and warp inside a mountain. Doing that sucks major @$$.
It has also unlocked a new and devastating way to make war. The CFW server now has SUBSPACE MISSILES!
Wasn't that already done awhile ago? Or is this a new connection?
I am the proud owner of the only diamond block on the entire server, plus a majority of the iron blocks and lapis blocks.
They would be if tectonicus updated already :PI am the proud owner of the only diamond block on the entire server, plus a majority of the iron blocks and lapis blocks.
Only PLACED diamond blocks. Interesting how Pistons aren't included in that list
Done some serious renovations and construction. Will post pics once I figure out what the MC screenshot button is.alt + f4
The recommended 1.7.3 craftbukkit is now released. Is the server already upgraded with it?i wouldnt reccomend it, particularily if the server is using any mods that havent been tested to work with RB1000.
ROLEPLAY COMEDY REPORT!sounds more like personal ego stroking to me, to be honest.
Let's make one.
what is it?
Have fun by making comedic travel reports trough the server, using faked sreenshots. People play roles.
for example:
a travel report by 2 journalists traveling trough TrashMania. some players would dress up as guards, journalists, political prisoners, etc, etc.. would pose for screenshots. And then the article would be written. And the journalist would report about how utterly not-uncomfortable the anal probing was, and how great and free TrashMania is and how there's absolulety, positively NO inquisition that followed their every step..
you get the picture...
Blegh still down.
It'll be down for the nexx fea hours, I just got back, it's 1:20AM and I can't rembmer my login details, sorry guys, but I'm unable to restart it at this monetn in time.
Yes, hamnyburger.
Does anyone know how to get the Aether mod to work?Use a fresh minecraft.jar and add ModLoader, AudioMod, ShockAhPI, and then Aether Mod. Any other mods that replace the fd.class included with ShockAhPI will break Aethergates (You try activating the gate with water and instead the water just flows on the ground).
Every I install audio mod it breaks minecraft. No sound, wonky textures, that kind of thing. I'm on Mac btw.Does anyone know how to get the Aether mod to work?Use a fresh minecraft.jar and add ModLoader, AudioMod, ShockAhPI, and then Aether Mod.

doesn't seem like anyone here knows too much about minecraft mods.I told you exactly what is needed for Aether Mod, I even went as far as telling you what not to replace if you want to keep it un-broken, but since it's on Mac I can't help since I explained how to do it for Windows. Which you said doesn't work at all.
*snip*Whilst I'm all for cool npcs, this Enderman sounds like it might get in the way of productivity. You're not going to see them until you see them, so how're you going to know where to avoid looking? And what will they do to mob grinders? If they just warp to you when you run...

So apparently esper.net really hates Minecraft.What makes you say that?
The opers said they're fed up with Minecraft users and their assumption that the whole of esper.net is dedicated to Minecraft halp.

Stop! Atleast for a while. :no:
You've started a LOT of half-done or barely done projects, like a midway train station, your one-block wide walls, that large WH40K mecha, to name a few. I don't want to be a troll and trash (no pun intended) your fun but finish something please. The place is littered with incomplete things, the Fenris is perhaps the largest one of them and while the latter is not your project but is rather a community work, it's silly to start one thing and drop it a week later when so much can be finished. :) Try gather yourself together and try finish atleast one or two of those things, go for that mecha and flesh out your walls so they're more like walkways or aquaducts and not cobblepilars. Finished projects are beautiful but things built out of boredom and left incomplete can quickly become landscape polution, a thorn in the eye. It's a real shame because some of those unfinished things can turn out quite nice! :nod:
I really don't want to shoot down your enthusiasm, but I think you too realize that it's time something is maybe finished first, or otherwise atleast taken down.

Plus the harbor already has a Man-of-War being built.
Update on Enderman: Wearing a pumpkin will prevent Endermen from attacking you.So they are relatives of The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal? :)
Another deleterious cascade effect was the so-called "Crucifix Glitch"— a cross-wiring of normally-distinct receptor arrays in the visual cortex, resulting in grand mal-like feedback siezures whenever the arrays processing vertical and horizontal stimuli fired simultaneously across a sufficiently large arc of the visual field. Since intersecting right angles are virtually nonexistent in nature, natural selection did not weed out the Glitch until H. sapiens sapiens developed Euclidean architecture; by then, the trait had become fixed across H. sapiens vampiris via genetic drift, and—suddenly denied access to its prey—the entire subspecies went extinct shortly after the dawn of recorded history.
... "Blindsight" By Peter Watts.Ridiculously good piece, that. It's available free online- I'd endeavor pretty much anybody who hangs around here to dig it up. It's actually quite unsettling, but a very, very good way to spend an afternoon.

All I heard of that was Aether, do you mean the Aether mod is on the sever? No that couldn't be right, the users would need all the data as well... Do you mean Aether is going to be incorporated into the normal game? No, why would you be saying that now? Do you mean there's that custom map on here called "skylands", no I've been on the server and it looks the same to me... What is this skylands?!The Skylands is like the Aether in that it's floating landmasses and such in a dimension with no true ground, but what's different is that instead of being a fanmade mod, Skylands is intended for an official (Undated) update to Minecraft. As of now the data for the Skylands dimension can be used to make mods that add it to the game, but until the real thing comes out in update 1.x.x, Skylands is more limited than Aether with the exception of the ability of being used in SMP (As far as I can tell).
You pretty much nailed it. Its challening ground for construction, tho.

does using bonemeal on dirt make grass?
I'm off on holiday until the 27th, if anything goes derp with the server, you're better off contacting rhx via PM.
Oh noes, the server has crashed. :(
(Totally not my fault btw)
Who broke my ice box?
Just FYI I accidentally burned down my house. :nervous:
Icebox? More info? We had a griever a few weeks ago, Qaz made sure to not give the suspect our new server IP so he could not hike along, Muzzaman something, some teen from Australia, often logged in when most were working or asleep too. It caused a lot of rage.
If you haven't been on a while, might be him? He poured water on rails or outright broke them, killed or moved people's tamed wolves, presumably is also the same person who smashed windows and probably burned Pred's wool house if it wasn't lightning and who broke some people's redstone circuits as it coincides with when he joined. Placed signs with one-liners and lol/fail-remarks now and then. I found a sign with "who let the dogs out" with a tamed wolf missing myself a bit ago.
His stuff was shared amongst server members when we moved while his home was unceremonially TNT'ed by a member who got grieved by him as well. Together with a few people we made new rail pieces and repaired some tracks, but we still run into sabotage in parts of town be barely visit sometimes, he or whoever the griever was had a lot of spare hours in the late night it seems. Got an ETA on how recent this is? It might well link to him.

His house wans't TNT'd. The empire took it over.
Whoever did it came in through the nether portal around my place in the north. Took a couple of mushrooms, put out a single netherrack block, and broke one ice block half way down the wall, so I had to replace the whole stack. All of this happened around yesterday, or the day before.
Nothing spectacular, but there seems to have been a little grief-like thought in it.
FYI, Mortofifro is my brother. He's pretty harmless, he tends to build up in hidden and secluded places. :)
Also if you've noticed the cobblestone patch by your sky island portal, that was me having to mine through. :( A ghast was chasing me and my only escape was up the ladder and through the stone. Some of the ladder got destroyed too.
His house wans't TNT'd. The empire took it over.
The house built with crafting benches was TNT'ed, by corpsepuppet or one of trashman's citizens or someone else a week later. It looked like a small pyramid.
Pece's server is down, else I'd be working on my farm :(rebootin the server and checking the router right now. send me a pm as well, as i'm more likely to notice a pm than anything else :p
are we up? hell, I don't even know anymore.
The server is up and running perfectly, the problem is the minecraft authentication servers, it's an issue with mojang./me grins like a maniac
And seeing how they're all at PAX dining and being merry, oh dear.

The tunnelhiding place of WMD's D:
If RHX for whatever reason has to close the server somday (let's hope not soon!), I may consider renting a high-speed server to accomodate people from parts of the world who ordinarily are more lag-sensitive. Alternately if I get my optifibre (seems to be soon! 50mbit up and down) I may host it on an old PC (that's still a quadcore with 12GB) myself. I'm afraid though that in the current setting, people not somewhat centralized in Europe or with a fast connection from the USA will suffer lag on most MC servers which don't cost 500-1000 dollar/euro/diamonds/notches a year. :( It's the current state of online hosting services.ooor, do it my way... my puny 16mbit/896k link can sustain 7-8 remote players without unplayable lags. The pc i run it on is a C2D E7500 with 6 gigs of ram.

I just bought Minecraft last night (finally). I messed around in single player for a bit, then I connected to rhx's server. So far I'm just looking around and marveling at what everyone else built. I've read the rules on the website, but I've got a couple questions. Is there anything I need to do before I start building? When I start building stuff, can I just pick any unoccupied area and start work? Does the same apply for mining?
Says the guy who encircled half the map with his wall.... lol.

Well, I went and checked down there yesterday. There's no malicious damage whatsoever, the minecart used to time the circuit is just no longer there.
Besides, the grinder was taking up about 40% of the possible mobs on the server, it'd be nice to have a few more on the surface.
What's with someone changing Fenris station and knocking out the mob grinder without any announcement at all? And the locked chests? If Qaz or RHX or so decided, fine, my appologies for ranting. But I get a distinct feel that again a non-mod person (won't name them until I can confirm it) is voicing their own thoughts and labeling them as if it's the entire server's thoughts. It's getting a bit tiring if it's who I think it is, talk a bit about you do it or post a message up front. The station improved, but the grinder, unmarked passworded chests and other chests being now unlabled is unnerfing. Adding a hatch, extra layer which doesn't change the buildings purpose/function I understand but it's been a few times that someone randomly had a streak of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, seemingly forgot to take their lithium tablets and went all "but it's not alligned" closing off walls or corners which were there for a reason (easy access etc). Fenris station isn't the only thing that got suddenly rearranged.
Again, sorry if it's a mod decision, then it's up to them, but it's not been the first time someone, anyone, changes a public used venue because they think something is valid or a good reason with a lot of people who also use the venue being hampered by such changes.
Sara, you better check those chests. Last time I checked, there really wasn't that much wool in there.
I really don't want to lock the storage, s I want people to use it, but may the vault might be a better place for items you don't want nabbed.
Also, regarding my wall.. Some people have been asking questions, so here's a quick summary:
- just because something is inside the wall perimiter, it isn't mine. People are free to build anywhere. In fact, I encourage people to build within my walls - I even give them materials to do so. They can build on either side of the wall as they wish...Technicly, they can even use the wall as one side of their house/structure
- the dirt outline for the wall has been in place for a while. If you look a bit back in this topic, you'll see me announcing it two times and asking for feedback/problems. I received no complants until now. I tried to move the wall as far away from others peoples holdings. If anyone has a problem with where the wall is going, give me a yell. I'll see if I can re-route it. Can't give any guaraantees, as people have been building everywhere lately, and I see structure popping out that I dont' recall were there. Or maybe it's just my faulty memory :P
- if you find the wall blocking your path, feel free to dig beneath or make a gate trough it. I was planing to make a few gates aynway, but due to the way I build it and some time constraints, I kept pushing it back. I will make well-marked some passages within the nest few days.
- a two-way railway will go on top of the wall (If i manage to gather enough iron). The wall should connect the town with the lava falls, BF's domes, sandwiches place, the chinese temple and few more places whose creators I can't recall ATM. I'm sorry this takes so long, but I have been having less time for MC and have been helping some other people out and working a bit on the Fenris...and the kingdom really is a BIG project. Bigger than Fenris.. and I'm just one guy.
- lastly, some people have complaining it blocks their view of the hill/mountain/trees/lake. I don't want to sound cynical, but...so? Every structure built blocks something. And MC is full of trees and lakes and valleys. Infinately so. There is only one great wall. There are hunderds of valleys and lakes.
-Just because you can build a wall, doesn't mean everyone wants to be within it.
-Nobody notices a dirt outline up in the air. I was lucky to notice it when you started trying to run around town.
-I shouldn't have to worry about a senseless wall blocking my path. What if I want to build at a point you've ran your wall through?
-You can build a railway without building the wall.
-So? You do understand that you are playing with other people on this server, and you have to respect the wishes of others. Everyone is perfectly fine with you building within your "kingdom" to the west of town, or maybe even southward. Your walls stretch from the surface to the highest point you can get them, and they are hideous. They're pockmarked because of the method you use to make them.
Your wall is pointless, ugly, and uncreative. Stop trying to defend a bad idea because we've let you run with it for this long.
Also, shouldn't this discussion be taking place in the Fenris specific thread?Nope. As far as I can tell it's not about the Fenris but rather Trashman's castle walls.

Maaaaaaybe, this thread is kinda crowded. Instead of just Minecraft Beta we should perhaps have separate sever threads and then another thread for general Minecraft.
GMT, it's about 4am here.insomnia or minecraft? :p
Insomnia, it's a ***** :(
A bit of both. I can't sleep, so I play Minecraft, meaning I don't sleep. Rinse and repeat ;)xD
-This isn't "next to." I'm perfectly fine with trashmania being near my leaning tower, and within view of my house. You are trying to encapsulate a large part of the server behind your walls.
-It's very clear and very visible if I'm looking in the sky for 1x1 dirt line, which sometimes passes along the tops of, and behind, hills.. Which I don't go around doing. I also had no idea what those lines were until you were encroaching on town with them.
-My house serves a purpose beyond just existing. I use it to store items, and build things. It is not grossly oversized. The places I make cover a very small portion of the map, your walls cover huge swaths.
-Your wall has an indirect cost placed on everyone else. Your walls don't seem to run in any sane direction for a rail (aka no direct destinations). It's funny how I've only heard about your rail now that the purpose/value of your wall is being brought into question.
-You're absolutely correct; the server is practically infinite! Now go build your walls into that infinite space, AWAY from everyone else's stuff. :) There's a huge area to the south of trashmania with practically nothing there.
-Thanks for the petty insult. Hope you feel better about yourself.
Why don't you go and tell the Chinese that their Great Wall was ugly and crap while your'e at it?
A bit of both. I can't sleep, so I play Minecraft, meaning I don't sleep. Rinse and repeat ;)
Because curves are ez-pz in Minecraft. :P
I think the wall would be better off as a square with straight edges on all four sides, trying to mimick the Wall of China in Minecraft would probably lead to the wall looking rather atrocious.
like dropping 500 windmills in one of the Swiss Alps valleys

Or.. you adapt to or choose the landscape so that the hills are less steep, like the Chinese. Point is, some people find it visual polution, like dropping 500 windmills in one of the Swiss Alps valleys. It's not nice to be told something is unwelcome while you're proud of it as Trash is now, but unfortunately the server is shared with many and some settlement/compensation approach is usually required.

No, newly discovered land will spawn according to 1.8 code while already discovered land stays the same. Perhaps the mods can remove the discovered land way out from where people have built. Say, a 5000 x 5000 space around x0 , z0. If Notch'd force a reboot he'd cut his sales, people may quit MC if they got to start all over.
If we get 512 height in 1.8, I'm fine with old maps being broken.
knowing bukkit plugin folks, i dont doubt there'll be world gens limiting the height to 128 and leaving the rest as air.If we get 512 height in 1.8, I'm fine with old maps being broken.
We get the ability to easily mod it to such, at least, although he warns that the chunk generator might have some interesting results with a height it was never programmed for.
If 512 is introduced (1.8 had none of that in PAX) chunks probably will be stacked I imagine. Also release is 11 November 2011, so don't expect TOO much after adventure update. Though we get updates now and then after release.
I really don't feel those photos lend much credence to your argument. Those are huge, useless, and not that pretty.
And yet, they describe Minecraft perfectly.
/me puts that one on the "to test" list...And yet, they describe Minecraft perfectly.
I will agree to minecraft being described as large and useless, but I can argue the ugly factor (http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/8899/titleeb.png). The game can look very nice with a good texture pack, the trick is finding one you like and your computer can deal with.

[edit] okay, it looks okay up close, but far away, everything is just crap. too much noise/moire.
To bring up an older subject - I've got the latest word on pre 1.8 chunks and 1.8 chunks.we rebooted a while earlier... i plan on pregenerating a test run when 1.8 rolls around, so we'll see how it works.
You can run a pre-1.8 map in 1.8, and all new chunks will be spawned with new algorithm and have all the new features. However, because of the nearly complete re-write of the chunk algorithm and the way that they are created, the interface between the two will be characterised by massive chunk errors, abysses down to the void, massive vertical cliffs, etc.
Fenris has FOUR people working on it, total. Only two of those actualy doing anything since qaz is having fun with the minecart thing and you working on your stuff. Swantz has been gathering the materials and getting everything ready while I put it all on Fenris. I know this because Swantz and I needed to lock down fenris station's supplies because people skim everything 'till there's nothing left.
And comparing a few horizontal bars that connect a rail line to a wall do not compare to a 50-meter tall wall encasing his land.
I need to start playing minecraft again. o_o But I'm sooo busy... actually I'm not too busy. :lol:player limit is set to 10 players (at one time), yet we never hit it :p
How much traffic does your server get pecenipicek?
Unrelated note to Qaz and/or RHX: Lightning strikes pass through transparent blocks, like water and glass. This has resulted in a lot of the woodwork (floors and furniture) inside my underwater, glass domes to get toasted. Buildings with large skylights may also be vulnerable. I have ample resources with which to make repairs, when I make a proper return to the server, but in the same vein as Creeper explosions, you might want to look into disabling lightning strikes/thunderstorms.
Further unrelated note to Qaz and/or RHX: 1.8 will see a significant change to the way chunks are generated, on par with the Halloween Update from last year. Perhaps a fresh start on a new world will be in order, after the update? In addition to giving us a world free of a pre-1.8-post-1.8 border, it would also serve to hit the reset button on the territorialism and politics that has been developing over the summer. Just a thought.
Sorry BlueFlames, I'll see about adding a protective region to your domes to prevent fire.
Also I think we may keep with the current world for 1.8, if there's any issues with terrain, I can smooth them out with worldedit.
I'd rather know what everyone else thinks first.

Hey BlueFlames, you should check out this video on underwater roads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_jLC-H9JB8
I'll go check whats missing, if I borrow things I always replace them with other things and eventually the same stuff. The wool and dye is the only thing which should be gone given most of it was mine and originally was in the Fenris chest months ago until stuff started to disappear. I'll even shear some stacks of wool and donate them so you have your own wool seperate from whats moved to Fenris. :)
Was it still there a few days ago? Or did you not check for ages, as you were out of the game a lot lately? People may have used stuff over time.

Thanks Sara. You have always been a shining light on the server.
But that won't be necessary. I don't think I will be returning.
@ Qaz: Seems indeed Jeb says 1.8 changes the way chunks work, so definately need to merge landscape with worldedit again. Nasty job!Or voxel sniper...

I watched some 1.8 videos by the Yogscast and apparently it's much harder to die if your hunger bar is full.
Also boats are destroyed when you hit shore in vanilla minecraft. Richard's server has a mod that prevents that and changes a few boat physics, too.

I'm pretty sure you're are misreading. If you open up an absolute clean minecraft and create a new world, anything you hit hard enough while riding a boat, except soulsand, will destroy your boat. IIRC it has been that way for quite a while... Do you not play singleplayer?

Otherwise I'm forced to dowload optimization mods to stop the frame skips every three seconds that began to appear since the 1.6 series (Which never happen on MP for some retarded reason).
Even after I've let the game sit in one spot to generate everything around me. Maybe 1.8 will be different which I'll check soon since it's released.
Nope even 1.8. Wow so much for computer specs.

Any chance of having the server ip put in the opening post on the thread? I seem to have lost the settings after minecraft updated itselfSearch the member lest for a username that starts with rhx. One of his later posts will have the server IP you're looking for.
first post updated, server still running 1.7.3, so 1.8 players will have to wait a bit D:
The lights work off of a light intensity/color normal. Modding in new colors would be impossible without making ALL the lights a different color. At best you could get 2-channel lights, but not full RGB.i wouldnt put it past spout or general bukkit plugins folks to mod that in however.
In other words, until were sure that 1.8.1 isn't going to make the server fall over, we are going to stick with 1.7.3 for the time being.
*snip*I stumble on stuff all the time... Qaz's 'hidden' stuff are all over the server.
If I hide the upper levels a bit more and increase the density of the surrounding foliage, this entry will feel a lot like stumbling on something, rather than arriving at a known location.

HALLO THERE - Server Update
From the testing of 1.8.1, the resource usage is predictably higher, so mine and qaz's plan is to wait for a very stable and tested good bukkit build, make a backup of the world, and go to 1.8.1 and see how the transition goes.

So, my current main server just went through a major overhaul, as the old admin team got tired and retired their server. Some other players, including myself, took it upon ourselves to rebuild the server, and I have just realized that our new admin/supervisor crew is full of mad scientists. Allow me to share with you our latest catastrophic event.
We use FalseBook, a mod that allows signs to perform complex redstone functions, and to do a few other crazy things, like shoot arrow barrages. One of our supervisors took the arrow barrage IC and tied 8 of them to a pulsar. If you have no idea what a pulsar is, it's a set of redundant redstone torches where two oscillate well past burnout speed, but once one does burn out, another takes over and keeps the system going until that one recovers. Effectively, the system never stops, and attains a clock rate much faster than any normal RS clock. As you can imagine, this spammed arrows like none other. It spammed so many arrows that just logging on near his base caused the server to crash. We tried desperately for over an hour to approach his base and remove the machine, but it was a veritably impregnable lag fortress. If you could see the arrows, it was too late for you. All seemed hopeless.
Until we hatched a daring plan. In a multi-pronged attack, we removed the FalseBook plugin and attempted to spam our /remove arrow command to make insertion into his base safe. We lost several men in the process, until one of our admins was able to acquire distance just enough that they didn't cause a crash, yet could still remove the arrows. Then, the ground team struck. Once inside, the machine was swiftly and decisively destroyed, allowing normal operation to resume.
All in all, that weapon created over 67,000 arrows before it was destroyed, and had a fire rate (probably much) greater than 1000 arrows per second.
-snip-Oooh, that's cool. Sadly, Strongholds are kinda meh without any tampering with, in singleplayer, I found one and all it had were a couple chests with apples or coal.

Every stronghold I've found has mineshafts running through them.They do, sure. But the actual strongholds themselves are fairly uninteresting.
Heh, I logged in and promptly got myself stuck in someone's mob trap...it happens sometimes...
Time to hold our horses. Apparantly 1.9 is out REAL soon and 1.10 also very soon. Are they pulling a Firefox? I'm playing 1.9 pre-release now,
Villagers now occupy NPC villages but do nothing but stare at you,
Are they pulling a Firefox?I just pissed myself laughing.
What's worse is at the moment they all look like Bert in various colored straightjackets.QuoteTime to hold our horses. Apparantly 1.9 is out REAL soon and 1.10 also very soon. Are they pulling a Firefox? I'm playing 1.9 pre-release now,
Oh sure, just after I start getting into 1.8
BullocksQuoteVillagers now occupy NPC villages but do nothing but stare at you,
Oh great, oh fantastic, oh joy. What was already eerie enough just got worse
I'm curious, perhaps someone can answer this question for me...
Mojang has said the reason for the recent rate of updates has been a push to try and reach their release date (personally, I kinda hope it never gets officially finished. The longer it's in beta, the more free updates I get ;) ).
1.8 was a major change to the way the game plays and was coded (look up the blog of dinnerbone, one of the main coders of the bukkit team, for an idea of just how big), and now 1.9 is rumored to be out soon with 1.10 also rumored to be dropped after that.
What I'm wondering, is why would someone hold off on jumping on a server because of this? It's not like someone has to update to the latest version of the beta to keep playing.
There are many ways to play on servers that have not updated to the latest, and multiplayer servers don't suddenly stop working once a newer beta is released (unless you don't pay attention to the server admins who tell you not to update if you want to still play on the server).
So, why would someone want to 'hold off' on, well, doing anything with multiplayer minecraft just becasue a new update is rumored to be Out Any Day Now(tm)?
If they ever make a realistic sun and shadows I'm so building a stonehenge or sunclock.
I just built an ultra P-SMURF (YouTube it) in my basement. Using one stack of bonemeal, it produces about 3.5 stacks of seeds, 1.75 stacks of yellow flowers, and 1.25 stacks of roses in one minute. Grab me for a tour if you see me online.so building that.
Something myself and my myte cooked up a while ago. I forgot all about this world fileAwesome, eh!

Oh hey, I must've missed your server thingwhud?
Looked back and found it. Jesus, what an entrance
I've been outdone twenty fold
EDIT: Whoa. I just teleported into space. Now that's cool.
Ha, I don't have permission to die
There will be fields of melons soon.
On RHX's server? Sandwich and I made an effort to farm them also after I spent hours in the abandonned mineshafts. :D Should be plenty for the whole server soon if we both did!
Apparently I could join your server and move aboutah, yes. that is my overall strategy. nobody can do stuff unless i clear them personally.
Couldn't do anything but look around, but that sufficed for an hour
Fiddling about with creating a bukkit plugin to replace Clocksign, got it reading and interpreting the sign correctly, now just got to work out the methodology for getting an individual Lever reference from a block object (think I'm nearly there) so that I can make them switch via an alternate looped thread. Seems pretty simple at first, but Blocks don't know, as such, that they are levers, it's a property of a value that is stored inside to Class, it's now just a question of which value to I need to pull and convert to a Lever.**** YEA!
Much Bukkit Javadoc browsing will ensue, I suspect.
I still can't do jack s*** on the server.......rhx's or mine?
I think... after finally reading through the thread... that I would like to join your server, sirs. Look for me soon, name of "earmite"if you have bought the game you can join qaz's server
Are there any mods or anything I'll need to install client-side to join qaz' server?
Very nearly finshed the plugin, the actual creation/removal of the pulses works perfectly, the only problem is that it's fine so long as the server doesn't have to be reset. You cannot save blocks as-is, so you have to store their location, and then recollect the blocks from the world object when the plugin is restarted. This may take a little bit of re-writing to do, but shouldn't take too long with luck :)cant wait to start testings :D
Well, I finally found myself with no lag, and spent the entire night working with Kyad on the Fenris. Along with help from Hades, IronBeer, and pretty much everyone else on the server, we made a lot of progress! The thing is, all the dimensions of what had already been made were wrong, so we basically had to start from scratch in some ways, but with the help of creative mode courtesy of qaz, we were able to complete nearly half the structural framework in a single night. :) I'll leave the screenshots for the others to post. :DYou guys did real good with rebuilding the frame work, it looks tons better. Can't wait for you guys to finish the hull so I can start detailing :>
Also, map has been moved to http://minecraft.egzodus.com/map , in preparation of us finally getting a proper webpage for our server.
Does dynmap still work for rhyxes server?Not that I know of... :(
Trying ot find a nice location, far from anyone, is far easier with a map like that.
Why hte hell was the Fernis destroyed?Because it doesn't match up to the layer-by-layer plans that Sandwich produced by rendering cross-sections of the actual in-game model.

For those who haven't been keeping up, both Optifine (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/249637-181-optifine-hd-a-fps-boost-hd-textures/) and Zan's Minimap (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/91544-181sep-15-lahwrans-mods-worldeditcui-polygons/#ZansMini) have been updated to 1.8.1. Enjoy.An alternative is Rei's Minimap, it used to have a cavemapping feature like Zan's but was removed a while back, and doesn't have the waypoint scaling between the Overworld and Nether (They only appear in the dimension they're placed in), but the minimap itself looks much better while at the same time draining literally zero resources from the game, so there's no frame loss at all. If you're not concerned about getting lost in caves or being in the Nether too much and have problems with framerate, this'll help.
Pathetic minecrafters! While you waste your lives punching trees and digging holes, I have sought out the unobtainable!

Kyad, you're not a server moderator and neither are you a project foreman. Please try to cut down on the chiefing behaviour. Next time I'll not warn others about the dangerS of wood and let 'your' station burn down, unintervened just the way you like it.
I'll be retracting my donations to Fenris station later today to support others with a more humane and friendly attitude, or I'll donate the things I gathered to Sandwich, he seems to be a reasonable and generous guy. He can decide how much goes to Fenris and how much he uses for himself, I think he's the one who started the project up and can decide best.
Stop being such a misanthrope Kyad, it doesn't gain you any favours. I remember you ranting about how someone didn't put things in a loot chest orderly some time ago while that person spent (an) hour(s) gathering that loot from the mobgrinder and put them in the station loot chest generously. I really hope you'll learn to show some gratitude when people try to do something thoughtful or well intended in the future. It'd make you a far more likable person and people will be more prone to help you.
Hey BlueFlames, you should check out this video on underwater roads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_jLC-H9JB8
That's pretty neat, and gives me an idea for competitive submarine warfare in Minecraft. Line the bottom of a two/three-meter-deep lake with half-blocks for your arena. Then, put a dude in a boat at the bottom to act as the submarine and a team of two or three people in boats on the surface to act as destroyers. The destroyer team is armed with bows (since arrows lose all their speed, but not their lethality upon hitting water), and the submarine has a pick. If a destroyer's boat is destroyed, that player is out. If the submarine player is killed, the destroyers win, and if the destroyers all lose their boats, the submarine wins.
I think I have a new project, for when I replace my mouse and can invest some time on the server.
What kind of shops do you want? Convenience, rare items, food, wool and dye?Any kinds we can fit, really. It'd be cool and useful to have.
How big should housing be, what functional items should be in it? A chest and a bed for sure. But should I keep the furnaces and crafting tables in a central workshopI think housing should be big enough to hold a bed, maybe a chest or two, a bookshelf (for aesthetics). Might be best to keep furnaces in seperate houses because other people might steal from furnaces if they're all in one area.
Should there be farms for replenishable items and if yes, which?I don't know much about farming, but sugar cane, wheat, and watermelons for sure.
Would you like a Nether Portal in the centre?Possibly, but I imagine it'd be a waste since more people would probably use /warps.
Should houses stick out of the island to give it a steam-punky and fantasy look, or should it look like an untouched, idyllic floating island from the outside?Dunno. they both sound like fairly cool ways to go about it. I'm leaning towards the former.
Do you want an arena or other places of entertainment inside or perhaps on the island, or are those unnescesary?They may be unnecessary, but they could be pretty neat. Depends on if there's room.
I'd drop it if you didn't start lying. I'll clear it up now so I won't have to talk about it again. I donated dozens of stacks of redstone, a lot of wool (3 stacks yesterday), tools, swords, armour, cobble, sand, dirt, coal and mobloot to the fenris. If I took TNT I replaced it and often returned more than I took, never less. The sign I put up was because someone else took a lot of TNT, a sign to protect 'your' TNT. It said to leave the top 9 stacks. There were often not even 9 stacks in the chest. Whenever I collected gunpowder from the PUBLIC mob grinder, I gave 50% to the Fenris: a moral code I always keep high. I always give tribute after using a facility. Trashman and others can testify I did work on Fenris more than once as well.
For the TNT cake and TARDIS house, obvious friendly gests between me and others. Nothing got damaged, nobody was assassinated or unwittingly killed, don't be ridiculous. Just about everyone on the server knows who I am and what I do for them. That I always make time for someone when asked to help with or check out some place and that I have spent days mining iron, sheering sheep or making tools for others when they asked for it. I even gave you 200 or so iron of which you made tools for the 10K outpost if I recall correctly. Today I spent an hour or so again helping DarkRevenantX who lost his gear in a wall and I helped Trashman together with Lixquid by giving him items to start building a new castle complex in open space. Inflating events way out of proportion, twisting facts and lying about what I do on the server, very unfair and you know it. Sorry Sandwich and others, but if someone lies about me I defend myself, I said all I have to, I won't continue on the subject further.
And now you are making stuff up. It is the fenris grinder. It was NEVER ment for anyone and everyone to skim, it was again, made to provide fenris with gunpowder and bonemeal. Where the hell did you get this idea it was for everyone? Stop making crap up to justify the hours upon hours you've spent there, leeching resources, and however much time others have. It became accepted to everyone as a public grinder because of your crap, which should not have happened in the first place.soru but qazwsx has told me SEVERAL times that the mob grinder is public, not just for the Fenris. and sara hasn't used it anymore than anyone else, like corpse or trashman

Well, the Fenris thread is (supposed to be) more for planning and stuff that doesn't need to clutter up a general thread. The argument over the Fenris station should have been in the other thread, but the posts had both the arguments, and other content that is relevant to this thread. *sigh* Split posts option, anyone?I would say no, don't split it. The main subject of the last debate was centered around the fenris station, but wasn't really about planning and does apply to general server subjects as well. All IMO of course.

Mumble, while seemingly gaining ground due to many of the more popular minecraft LPers using it, is still a relative unknown, which is too bad. IMO, it's the best cross platform (Windows, Linux, Mac) voice chat software anywhere.

Timing out on both servers now... :(yell at your isp. they're ****ing something up terribly. i seriously mean it.
Really? I thought I'd seen that once it officially comes out of beta, the price will jump up somewhat.According to the minecraft.net page, the beta is 25% off what the final version will cost.

Also, you guys should check out the zeppelin mod:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/488434-181-zeppelin-016-wip/
With the zeppelin mod, you can build a freespace ship, then make it fly :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD
The default block limit for a ship is 1024 blocks i think, but that can be bumped up in the config. However if you bump it up be prepared for lag (depending on how good your computer is)
If the nether needs reseting so bi it. All I ask is a warning first so I can rip up the rails and a fair amount of smoothstone so I can re-build.

Maybe Qaz can agree to give you creative. It'd be AWESOME!!! to make a new nether station in the style of the actual nether strongholds. It would blend in. Actually many nether strongholds are quite spacious, you could turn them into stations too. :D
I started fooling around with that PC Gamer demo, which gives you five days' worth of Survival to play with. They start you off with a chest full of a couple of tools and useful items, and I already knew how to make a workbench from watching a getting started video, but it's a bit frustrating not really knowing what the heck I can make, or how I can go about making it. Jamming random unsuccessful combinations of materials into the workbench isn't doing too much for me. :p

Oh, and the really fun part now is that I can't remember where the hell I mined the coal I used to make my torches, so I'm down to whatever's on my walls at the moment. I did just stumble across the existence of charcoal in the wiki, so I guess there's always that.
Tried to make that Aether thing work, just got an error screen (not the black screen) despite removing META-INF, having NO other mods and getting all the needed files (even 1.7.3 versions) and doing as told. Probably has to do with some hidden file or w/e in roaming being 1.8.1 orientated. Gave up, meh. :mad:
What you're likely to discover, as you continue to play, is that there's a surprising amount of progression in this game, even without the skill/experience system implemented yet. As you gather more (and better) resources, you'll find yourself less and less vulnerable to the hazards of the world. For me, I start out hiding in a glorified pile of mud. Later, I built a proper shelter for night. Eventually, I reached a point where I could harvest what I needed without even having to venture out during the day. Finally, in my last singleplayer world, I completely turned the tables on the threats of the environment by digging out an underground mob grinder.Yeah, I can definitely see that being the case. I haven't even thought about building much above-ground as of yet; I'm still trying to get myself settled, and this big early setback didn't help. At this point, what I'd really like is to grab enough wool to make a bed, since at least then I'll be able to change my spawn point and not have nights be as much of an issue. As it stands, I'm sitting there cowering at the gaping hole at the back of my cave, wondering if something worse than the zombie I killed is going to crawl out of it. :p
...and if you haven't by that point, that's where you'll find yourself looking into the multiplayer component. ;)
I find it impossible to play single player now, I get bored not seeing the world around me evolve. When I play multi, there's usually several projects on the go that I can help with, new things to see and to inspire me.Same on all points.
God, I need a map.
why run the browser version? just run the "standalone"
you might get moderately better performance.
I did. And as an update, it seems that Minecraft refuses to start up whenever I have my internet connection working.Try running it from the command line or a batch file... Basically running java.exe with minecraft.jar as a parameter.

Is that the place to the south-west of my place? I see what looks like one of the walls on the dynmap. If so, the location is totally fine by me. :)
Also, looks like you've got some epic mountains to your south-west... :p
Sara was using the 1.7.3 version (she said so in her post :P)
I gave Aether a try on 1.7.3 as well with no luck, I think it's because the stuff like the current Modloader etc are written for 1.8, even if you do have a compatible version of the Aether itself.

Yeah, those directions are for the dynmap, not the real in-game orientation (where the sun rises in the north, etc). Hopefully all that confusion will be fixed once 1.9 is released (Notch changed the sun to rise in the east in 1.9). It'll probably mean the maps will rotate counter-clockwise 90 degrees, but it's all for the best. :)
Oh, and if dyna rotates with it, it'll mess up the view of the Fenris.
It'll probably mean the maps will rotate counter-clockwise 90 degrees

Turn dyna, thats the glass side of Fenris.
It'd be cool to have options like tables, chairs, lamps, desks, and the like, to make things feel a bit more homey.
Grimper, I improved the station where your house is. Check it out and tell me if you approve.
Ooo! My castle barely has anything inside... I do have a fireplace and gardens outside though. :P
Incidentally, thank you for not neglecting the interior. There's too many cool structures on the multiplayer server that feel like they're going to waste, because once you're inside, there's nothing to see.
On a side note, has there been any official word on that annoying claustrophobia vision crap at lower levels? It drives me nuts.
Btw what's with the lack of hostile mobs in the server? My mob trap is refusing to work and I can't even find any when I'm wandering around outside at night :(
I've yet to see an Enderman in my game. From what I've heard, that's a very good thing.Build a mud wall o_o
Man, by whatever stroke of luck, I dug my original little survival cave right on top of a massive network of caverns. I've been down there a couple of times lighting up passage after passage, and I've still yet to explore most of the place. I've stumbled across quite a few underground rivers and lava pools/falls, and my last trip turned up some gold deposits and a single diamond(!) block. I didn't bring my sole iron pickaxe with me, so I had to leave them alone for the moment, but I'll sure as hell be back for them. It's really creepy being down there that deep; I keep getting nailed by skeleton arrows before I see them, and I've had one or two zombies seemingly appear out of nowhere and jump me. Yeesh.
Oh, and while I'm thinking of things...what do you guys do with the massive amounts of dirt you've no doubt dug up? It piles up so quickly in my inventory, I'm thinking of starting to chuck it into one of those lava pools. :p

Gotta have vipers. Not to scale, but wtf. At least it moves fast.
Heh, true, but until breeding comes out in 1.9 and there's a bukkit update, it's a faster way to get wool than chasing sheep ;)
I seem to remember reading that domestic animals are drawn to light sources at night...
They can only spawn on well-lit grass blocks...
Just FYI apparently when you kill sheep on the server they still drop wool. o_oThey're supposed to. They just drop less than if you had sheared them.
I stopped by the server a bit earlier, and qaz and Kyad showed me around the Fenris. I've seen the pictures, but they didn't do any justice to the sense of scale you get when you're standing inside it. :DI got a tour from sandwich and, I believe, Kyad. The pictures, no, they don't do it proper justice. :)
What's with all this talk of shears? I thought the best way to obtain wool from them was TNT:wtf:

Okay...there's something very weird going on with the game mechanics, and it's now scared the hell out of me at least twice and nearly killed me. Since the start of the game, I've been sleeping in my little cave with one door to the outside and one door to the top of the huge cavern complex, and I've never had any issues. Anyway, I've been building my house right outside the cave, and once I had the exterior walls a few blocks high, I made a tunnel connecting my cave to it and ditched the door. Since I was still enclosed, I went to bed, and just as things faded to black...HOLY CRAP ZOMBIE RIGHT ON TOP OF ME AARGH. Needless to say, I was freaked out, but I figured the thing had just spawned somewhere up the hill and dropped down into my walls, so I sealed off the cave entrance and then slept fine. The next day, I rush to put a roof over my head (made of wood planks for now, since I'm going for two stories), and since the first floor is well-lit and I'm now completely enclosed, I figure I'm safe. Wrong. Zombie time again. Now I'm really freaked out, and I go out of my way to over-light the inside of my house, as well as plop torches all around the exterior and on the roof. Surely now I have to be fine, right? Go to sleep again, and there's ANOTHER ZOMBIE right in my face. What the hell.A piston door would be a good solution. If you're willing to mess with redstone, that is.
I think I know what's happening after some wiki diving, though. I saw something about beds being placed right against a wall possibly allowing mobs to spawn through the wall (which makes no sense whatsoever, but good to know), but there are at least a couple layers of rock next to my bed, so that's not it. I think it's due to the fact that I decided to put double doors on the front of my house, because they look cool. According to the wiki, placing a door right next to another one creates some goofy behavior where the second door is rotated 90 degrees and has its open and closed positions reversed. So even though the door appears closed to me, and I can't walk through it, apparently mobs can, which explains why I had a zombie trying to sleep with me on more than one occasion. To close the door to mobs, you actually have to have it open visually. I have to say, I don't mind dying because I was stupid or because the game can be hard, but dying because of a completely illogical (and frankly bugged) mechanic doesn't exactly please me. I don't feel like keeping track of which door needs to be open or closed, but I really do like how the doors look, so what I might wind up doing is building a fence out front, so I can keep the look and still be closed off from the undead horde.
Oh, and there's something else. Like I mentioned before, I've only really seen one Creeper spawn outside up to this point. But now that I have the first floor of my house all framed out, I've seen groups of two or three outside on a couple of mornings, and one of them managed to 'splode in my face. Do these things just get naturally attracted to crap the player builds? And why for the love of God can't they burn up in sunlight? :p
I'd love to try it at some point, if I can figure out how to do it.this explains it: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/8/89/Bed_Template.png
And it may be moot, because I don't think it's the doors. I tried sleeping with first one, then the other door in the open position, like the wiki said...and I was jumped by a zombie each time. This literally makes no sense. Everything inside is very well-lit, and there are no gaps for anything to wander in...and yet they keep wandering in. It can't be my bed, since if I so much as block off the cave entrance with dirt, it doesn't happen. At this point, I'm just putting the door between the cave and the house back up, until I can figure out what the hell is going on.
It can't be my bed, since if I so much as block off the cave entrance with dirt, it doesn't happen.
this explains it: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/8/89/Bed_Template.pngI'd suspect that, but the only wall my bed borders is well more than a block thick, and I think the other side of that is in the caverns, which are very well-lit. Besides, before I started building the house, I slept in that bed multiple times without any issue.
Are mobs spawning on top of the under-construction wall of your house?I haven't seen them do so, but even if they were spawning there, after I closed off the ceiling, there shouldn't have been any way for anything to get in. I'm about ready to just grab a bunch of screencaps and see if you guys can find something I'm missing.

2 days in a row no one is on when I'm on....where is everyone?Funny. The times that I'm on, nobody else usually is. I've been pretty busy as of late, though.... since you asked. :P
Thanks to CP for showing me around his awesome castle and sundry, and for the minecart. I had a total Keystone Cops moment when I pushed it and it took off without me. :lol:
I would like to set up shop somewhere on the server, though I don't know that I'd build much more than a lean-to at the moment. From the dynmap, it looks like there's quite a bit of open space in the general vicinity of everyone else, but I don't want to get in the way of anyone's future plans. Is there any spot in particular that I'd be okay with plopping down in?
Okay, something's seriously messed up on my end. Every time I try and log on (this has been going on for weeks now), I either time out, or when I don't then I spawn with no terrain anywhere and fall forever into the void before an error sends me back to the main menu. More recently I've managed to spawn with terrain under my feet, but it extends all of 3 or 4 blocks around me with void everywhere else. And then I time out. :(That sounds exactly like the problem I usually have. Unfortunately, the only solution - and a partial one at that - seems to be finding the time of day or night when there is minimal network traffic in your area. The server has really been lagging for everyone lately, unfortunately.
Man, I love the rail system you guys have, even if I don't really know how it works yet. I'm currently trying to find the area Swantz mentioned, though I started off on the wrong set of rails the first time. On the plus side, I think I ran down a cactus that happened to be extending over the tracks, since it randomly appeared in my hand. :lol:
Edit: I found a spot to settle down near the end of the northern rail line; there's a big chunk of unoccupied land just to the south and west of the northern stronghold. Lots of cool mountain and cliff features. I'm in a little rectangular cave at the bottom of a valley, so we'll see how things go from there.

I put up a bunch of extra signs a while ago. From the spawn you need to go to central station, and once you get on that line the next stop should have a sign that says exit here for regional railway, and just keep following the signs after that.
Also any progress on the lack of hostile mob spawns? :<
Me is sad coz my mob trap I put so much effort into isn't working :(
I saw a couple of torches, but CP figured that they might just be someone's temporary hide-outs. Did you leave me anything at all? :pIf there are only some then maybe I haven't been to that particular location. Even if I have though if you go down deep enough there should be lots of interesting stuff around. Just avoid the more populated places on the server and you should find many resources.

There are three types of cave systems not including 1.8 underground additions: small, medium, large. The largest can extend all the way to bedrock and have a good chance of having visible diamond. Large cave systems aren't always very accesible via the surface, so you were pretty damn lucky.

I read something like this on the wiki, but I'm not convinced... Did this small/medium/large categorization comes from notch, or from disassembly of the java bytecode? Because I'm inclined to think it's just some idiot making distinctions where none exist.
Does your mob trap rely on an underground spawn area, or is it above ground? Regardless, lighting up all of the cave systems around will help quite a bit with that.
Mongoose, give me your coordinates (Press F3) and I'll put a station up for you.
Let's see people call my walls ugly now:

Hee, that looks fun. I should stop by for a visit. That reminds me, I haven't seen Sara's crazy floating island yet either.Next time if I am assed enough to be on at the same time, I'll give you a tour of the places I'm most familiar with.

Anyone who has played Minecraft for any length of time knows about small/medium/large/epic caves, they are obvious and easy to tell the difference between just by walking in them.
Small: short, coal, maybe some iron
Medium: still somewhat short, good odds on iron
Large: big, could take a while to explore, small odds on diamond
Epic: best way to describe it, Sara's mines. you are almost guaranteed to find diamond, but the odds of you finding every pathway on your first try are slim due to the shear size.
You don't need a guide to classify them, you can do it on your own with a little experience.

Yes, any old minecrafter can pick one of "small", "medium", "large", or "epic" which is the most descriptive for a specific cave system... but they are just words. I see no evidence to suggest these are distinct categories with different intrinsic properties, which is what the above list would suggest.
Edit: I see the wiki no longer has the small/medium/large/epic categorization... it now listsAgain, find me evidence that there are distinct modes of cave generation.
- Small Cave (Dud Cave)
- Medium Cave (Splatter Cave)
- Large Cave (Epic Cave)
Sounds good. :)
I don't know what sort of crazy lucky star I've been born under in this game, but I've yet again found a very extensive network of caverns literally right next to my house, this time on the multi server. Pred, I think the opening might have been one of the places you mined, since the entrance was a diagonal tunnel. However, there was one passage that was mostly blocked by gravel, and when I opened it up a bit, I found a whole bunch of caves leading off in all directions. We're talking iron, gold, redstone, lapis, even diamond...I didn't even get to mine all the stuff I saw, since my iron pickax ran out of juice. Now I'm really glad I chose this cliff face instead of another spot I was looking at, although I could do something really cool with that place at some point.
Oh, and does that mob spawning issue people have mentioned include animals too? I pretty much never see any of them in my area, which means I'm almost perpetually out of food.

Open dynmap, look at subterranean view. You'll see some short dud caves, some medium cave systems, and some that are ****huge furballs. It's pretty obvious.

Well if you're going to be like that, open the code and look for yourself. It is obvious to anyone else who has played Minecraft, as proven here. If you won't accept that then fine.

He said a friend directed him to the server, but he claimed not to know his MC name, nor his HLP name.
You mean this?
*snip*
Also, that flying guy knew me as "DarkRevenantX" from another site, so it seems kinda retarded that he'd not make the logical leap to assume I use that here and in minecraft as well.
Also, he recommends using the nocheat mod.
Try exploring a cave with the soundtrack to Quake 1 playing in the background. It's a truly harrowing experience- you will either emerge from that cave a MAN, or a broken and whimpering shell.
If the foliage is supposed to be vandalism, it's nice vandalism.
So today I'm like, "ok. I'm not going in that cave without some armor." So I decided I was going to go outside and slaughter cows until I had enough leather to make a full set of armor. I wait until it is daylight. I open the door....
Next thing I know, BOOM! I get killed by an exploding penis.
After I get all my stuff back I just went in the cave and started mining anyway. I mined 4 blocks of iron ore and a little bit of coal before I got attacked by skeletons. I ran away and lived. What do you guys suggest?
Also, monsters won't spawn if it's bright enough (have a $#!&load of torches) right?
EDIT: I went outside again. I found one cow and killed it. Then it started to rain, so I made my way back home. I come home to find an exploding penis in my house. How do I kill it without ruining everything?

If you are donating cobble, dirt or any easily obtainable block and the chests are full, please discard those items instead. Nobody will use 4 chests worth of say, dirt or sandstone.
Arg I extended my mob trap to 4 stories and it's still not working properly. It pulls in the very occasional pack of mobs but I've still only got 11 bones and 5 string total lol :(
In multiplayer, mob caps are shared by all players, no matter where they are. If one player can make a lot of mobs spawn near them, say, with a mob farm, players elsewhere in the world will see fewer mobs of the same category. Likewise, if a player can prevent mobs from spawning near them, perhaps by hanging around a large body of water and illuminating nearby caves, they will effectively dump their mobs on everyone else.
I recommend reading the Mob Spawning page on the Minecraft Wiki (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Mob_spawning#Mob_Spawning) if you haven't already.

On another note....hostile mobs still not spawning properly on qaz's server. I don't really play it much anymore for that reason, still bummed I put so much effort into my trap but it won't work.
I also keep hearing zombies and spiders. In my house. I don't know where they are. It's like they're inside the ****ing walls!
IMO dirt can be discarded, but sandstone and cobble probably should not. Sandstone is not nearly as common or readily available as dirt, and cobble can be smelted into stone and crafted into stone bricks. You could make a largish separate room with 10-20 chests just for cobble, to keep it out of the way.

In this instance, the player hogging all the mobs would be Trashman. Which is funny cause he doesn't want any of them.QuoteOn another note....hostile mobs still not spawning properly on qaz's server.

Go set up housing in Trashman's area, help him defend his home!
To fight a creeper without bow & arrows.Or get at least a Knockback I enchantment so you can effectively double the throw distance of sprint attacks.
* Always walk backwards, that way they usually stop exploding so you can hit them again.
* Right click with a sword to block, this stops creeper explosions too.
* Wear armour, in 1.9 which is out soon you can repair armour (and other items).
Alternately, you make a BFG 9000 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX2Qkfi12Mw)...
That's....not right D:There's no memory saving plugin O_o
It has to be that memory saving plugin.
Otherwise when trashman logs off all the mobs would despawn and then spawn around the next person that logs in. The fact that they arn't means that they are being saved inside those chunks.
I prefer to go mining alone, that way I can nab all the resources for myself. :P
Also tip for everyone, exploring caves for valuables is much better to do with someone around to help out or to watch for mobs. Less watching your own back and more mining. ;)
Those blueprints look squished...
Out of all the fighters you could have chosen... you chose the Loki.Why not? It's a potent craft, while being damn sexy too.
Still looks cool though.
The proportions on your MC loki are way off, too.
In-game, the nose looks too fat by one block on either side. Checking with the blueprints confirms, it should only be three blocks wide at that part of the craft, not five.As it is now it's four blocks wide, not five.
K, so a whim struck me as I was consuming a desert for sand, and I eventually found myself at around (-4500, y, 600), aka the farthest from origin I've ever been. No screenies, which is unfortunate, since I found some pretty interesting things.... ok maybe interesting to some people.Something like that happened on the server pre-1.8, too. There's a perfectly rectangular slit trench in water beside my castle. I guess playing on mulitplayer is just buggy.
Anomalies started showing up at around 3 kilcks from origin- I found a village, or part of one. Sea level was uneven near the town, and a good portion of it was cleanly sliced out of existence between the borders of an ocean chunk. "Chunk slicing", as I shall now call the phenomenon, happened with remarkable frequency from that point forward. The most spectacular example I passed was a full-on mountain bisected by a chunk boundary, exposing a sizeable cave system, as the ocean kindly obliged the cave and stayed within its chunk limits.
Normally, I wouldn't bother, but I figure this info might be useful for one of the OPs, or for anybody who "upgraded" a world to 1.8.
qazwsx, how much luck did you have with using worldedit to fix **** like that?It's usually reatively quick to get sorted, the main issue is the water level being one higher in 1.8. That, and if people have already begun building near the chunk discontinuitys. Otherwise I'll just mindlessly spam the smooth brush until it looks alright.

The server is set to load chunks in a radius of 7 around people, I'll try doing a server-wide butcher command and see if that kills off the mobs in unloaded chunks.I thought of that, but are you sure it won't despawn peoples tamed wolves? And that's just a temporary solution too :\
the water level is one lower for us here, hilariously enough.qazwsx, how much luck did you have with using worldedit to fix **** like that?It's usually reatively quick to get sorted, the main issue is the water level being one higher in 1.8.

Minecart tracks and wooden planks generally (if they look unkempt) are abandoned mineshafts (as-in, game-generated, not just a mineshaft another player made and abandoned).
That's what the new terrain gen code does, it adds loads more variance to y-values, possibly too much now, but the steep slopes that creates isn't too compatible with the cave systems. Where you get sheer cliffs is where the difference between those two points on the y axis is close enough to be considered zero from a voxels' point of view ;) Alos, the new code makes the landscape much more 'mottled' with biomes, which probably doesn't help.what he needs to do is let us fiddle with the worldgen with more options than just "input seed, pray to satan"
In my opinion, he needs to double the scale of the Biomes generated, and probably reduce the Y-Variance in the terrain gen to around 75%.
Still, it makes for some interesting scenery and building opportunities, which is probably the intention :)

I started by building a large tower of dirt and covering it with torches till I could get something more permanent on the go. That said, Dynmap is a blessing in multiplayer :)
As for other random stuff, the landscape generator gave us swatziville. How silly! (Yes, it's really randomly generated :S).

Also, how many eggs do I need before starting a chicken farm?Hahahahaha. Eggs for making chicken farms are horribly unreliable. If it's 1.9.5 just give chickens wheat and breed them. If it isn't then sorry, you'll be using about 100 eggs just to get eight chickens to appear (At least with my luck).

My first castle like structure I barely planned at all. I just sort of made a mountain into my fort. :P
My castle on the server however took considerably more planning, especially the towers and walls. I did however, flow with the shape of the island I was building on and worked with what space I had. Except for that island qaz 'appeared' for me. :nervous:

I start in my mine (a 43*21*14 rectanglular hole with shafts leading down the shorter side) and I want to dig a tunnel to trashmania. I start digging a little diagonal tunnel and end up hitting some cobble, I suspect it could be a dungeon or someone's mine. I figure I can replace it so I dig a hole in it and find myself in a room with a staircase leading down it and concealed behind a lava fall. I shore up my hole, and dig my tunnel around it before continuing. I continue on and after a while I end up in a huge tunnel which looks like it was mined by TNT at bedrock level (I assume it's Sara's), I take a little look down it before getting attacked by a huge slime I can't even hit, after a time I dodge past it and get back to my tunnel. I decide there's probably more likely to be more mines near bedrock (where my tunnel is) so I go up and over Sara's tunnel. I dig a bit further then I hit a massive TNT cavern.Sounds like you might have happened upon my 'secret' lair with the lava fall. That place is pretty near spawn so of course you'll run into many, many mines.
For goodness sake, how much stuff is down here!! I'm just trying to dig a tiny 2 wide (diagonal, 1 wide when straight) underground path with a 2m roof and it can't help but keep on hitting into other projects!
PS Why is this cavern so huge, it makes it hard to circumvent!
PSS ran into 4 more mines and a mushroom farm. Barely half way there.
Or you can use Rei's minimap to find slimes:No one is ever gonna find slimes :(
Normal hostile mob spawns are screwed up as is, and slimes are far more rare. Gonna have to fix the issue we have atm before we can find any of them.
Thanks. Just realised just how big the map is. Woah. (not from that image, from panning around dynamap)It's over 800MB in size and over 40km^2 in area.
Build a mob trap and see what happens, or go check out mine. Trashmans place is the exception not the norm, he seems to be hogging all the mobs.
I'd almost forgotten about this spectacular series of outcroppings and cliffs a mountain or two over from where I'm working. It's probably a better spot for the idea I'm fooling around with, but it honestly looks so cool that I almost think it'd be a shame to mess up. In any case, what I'm doing now is probably one of the first times in my life I've attempted something creative by plopping stuff down and seeing what happens. I don't know if it'll come out anywhere remotely near decent, but if it does, I'll drag someone up to take a look.
I have discovered that there are two sure signs players can use to figure out if they've crossed into a region I am active in. Firstly, there will be planes and helicopters and starships everywhere. Secondly, there will be tnt, everywhere. Unfortunately, the TNT bit is rather unfortunate as last night someone's house exploded after I decided to line the top floor with boom and they thought punching it with flint and tinder was a good idea.

Awesome, Esarai, I love each of your ships so I should definitely explore around and see if i can spot your ships hovering above. ;) This is also in Qaz's server, right?
Furthermore, I hereby would like to ask Qaz to look into raising the 128 height limit to 256 or 512, my first tower is reaching the limit and it is far from high enough for my taste. ;)

I thought so too at first, then this particular picture piqued my interest:
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/File:Hunger.png
especially the summary text below, "Picture that notch posted in his Twitter. A Hunger bar and experience bar. Also showing new height limit of 512." Asked yesterday to I believe Kyad and was answered that it has become a variable setting, thus able to be changed apparently. Could be me misunderstanding though, this the question if Qaz can look into it.
Speaking of, Revenant, you're the one with the cool greenhouse and obsidian hut at the end of your subway, right? I didn't even notice it until I happened to be scrolling around the dynmap last night. It's only about a day's walk from where I'm set up, so Grimper and I wandered around a bit. The landscape around there is nothing short of spectacular. :)
The height limit thing that was changed was altering the game code so that everything that relied on the map height limit referenced one single variable instead of having 127 hard-coded everywhere. All it does is make it easier for mods to change the limit.And, oddly enough, I don't think I've seen anyone do it yet.

So there was a bit of interesting "griefing" going on over the past day or two. I was hearing a strange semi-repetitive thumping noise near my house that I at first thought was either an audio glitch or my speakers going on the fritz. Turns out that someone had created a simple yet elegant redstone clock attached to a note block and buried it in a little tunneled-out area right next to the entrance of my mine. They even went so far as to hide their entrance with smoothstone; the cobblestone they used to plug up the entryway inside was the only clue to how they'd come in. Apparently a few other people had similar devices near their home bases; Grimper helped me find mine with the aid of some chunk error kung-fu. Whoever did this was a pretty slick operator.i immediately got reminded of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx1XIm6q4r4)
Anyway, what other places has this 'griefing' occurred.

Actually, on my way back from JC's house (I was helping him find and eliminate another "ticker"), I heard another one somewhere around the castle with the burning netherrack wayposts, above and to the right of JC's place on the dynmap. I didn't have any chunk errors to help me find it though.
Huh, so the mystery continues. Whoever's there sure picked a cool spot to set up, though.
Also: There is a food dispenser at the spawn road now. There've been a real load of "omg I'm starvingz!" comments from newcomers. This is a remedy for that.That's definitely something that happened to me. While I was still running around, looking at all the cool stuff, there were two things I missed the most: food, and a minecart.

This is what I've got so far.Meh. You think too small.
*imgsnip*
What do you guys think?
Of course, the corners will have to be converted to towers of some kind. But I haven't gotten to that stage yet.
That's no castle. That's the ****ing Great Wall of Minecraft!correct, that is no castle. its only the outer walls. i still havent decided if i'm gonna make a full blown castle or what.
Huh, so the mystery continues. Whoever's there sure picked a cool spot to set up, though.
I was the first guy to find it and set up shop there, but apparently someone else got there too.

Mine's bigger :nervous:
Obsidian hut, greenhouse... was there a small wheat farm near it too? If so, that'd be mine. It's so annoying that I haven't been able to connect to the server since the IP change, otherwise I'd have done more expansion, but yeah... that's where I live.

Have you double-checked the latest info lately? The server moved a couple of times, and I missed the IP change for a few days myself and thought there was a real problem when in fact I had just been trying to connect to the old IP. What error are you getting?
Pred, in your honest opinion, how many square feet/blocks should a castle cover in area?In my opinion, whatever size you're comfortable with. I originally planned something much larger than what I have on the server, but even that was very time consuming. Mostly because I gathered many of the blocks by myself.
Mine is bigger and looks better.yes. the difference is i put every block in manually. and it doesnt look like crap.
So NYAAAAAAAAAaaaa!
And there isn't even any difference between your wall and my old one, except the material from which it's made (and size).

Honestly, I was just messing with ya, but now you're starting to make it personal.
Maybe you think that placing each block by hand makes your e-peen grow? This ain't worth a pissing contest (and you'd loose anyway, by sheer scale alone)if you hadnt included that part, i just might've agreed with you and called it a draw. but with that you show that you really are trying to overcompensate for something by trying to be a megalomaniac on teh internetz.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. One of two scenarios occur: either I can't connect at all and I get an internal socket exception/time out error thing, or I connect and spawn... with no terrain. I fall down eternally into the void, surrounded by the weird things in the air down at that level... and then I time out. It's so annoying! So yeah, I'm sure I've got the IP right, just... weird things happening.

so. Challenge accepted. And i can win that pissing match easily. How? I'm the server admin. I can do whatever the **** i want with the minecraft world. And, as you said, only the final appearance and scale matter, so what does it matter if i use any other tools, eh?
Now, for actually interesting news:
- massive, massive mine/cave system. Easily bigger then the one I stumbled upon in OLD TrashMania. Several of us went exploring and got lost.
I've been placing signs, glowstone markers and drilling exits straight to the surface, as still people couldn't find an exit (they couldn't even find glowstone markers).
We must have destroyed a dozen spawners and raided two dozen chests... and there plenty more down apprently.

Are you sure you're drawing your bow to full string? If so, I'd try going around or from above 'drown' them in sand/gravel or something.Make bow and arrows, go shoot up some creepers.
I already have a bow and a stack of arrows. They wouldn't hit. I don't know if the creepers are out of range or if there is something in the way.

You are just scratching the surface, son. It's a big server :D
FRAPS ~ HyperCam 2?Ya, more or less. Just google it, the merits of both have been rehashed to death all over the internet, we don't need to do it on here as well.
Qaz has a reallife too. :)
Someone's building north of my northern outpost! Who?That would be firespawn. I led him up there and it seems a good distance from your base, although it might be close to that big underground tunnel you have.
I also hope to have a global warp soon as it's quite a walk from Spawn to my area, till that time there's plenty to do however. I could potentially make a larger road through the wilderniss towards the more populated areas, something i'll have to plan out a little.Like kyad said there's only a couple of warps atm and they don't get handed out like candy. I'd just make a rail connection to the nearest line for now (which is probably the same line I'm on, but you have a bigger distance to cover :\)
Hm....bridge?...why not. I'll start building from my side! :)
Shade isn't active on the server. Uncompleted rails are not part of the original system. Lot's of people around there, no idea whose it is.I think I was getting Shade and Swantz confused there. :p It'd be his northern rail line that I'm talking about.
If anyone misplaced some tamed wolves recently, I stumbled across a pair just now. They're at the town/domes end of Shade's rail, where it intersects with another rail. If you turn right at the "Pin Balance Heights Project" sign and walk along the unfinished rails, you can't miss them.
For a railroad to function properly, is redstone neccesary?
Just had a silly idea, if you put a touch rail in front of a booster rail, wouldn't it activate that booster when you go over the touch rail? It may put strain off the server as redstone-torches don't burn all the time.
edit: tested, works like a charm!
For a railroad to function properly, is redstone neccesary? If so, anyone interested to help extend the rail line to somewhere in between of trashmania and my territory for dual purpose? Hope to hear if anyone's willing and able to. :)

Oh, and one more thing. If I ever want to start a multiplayer server, can I convert my singleplayer map to a multiplayer map?Yes.
Any news on the height limit in 1.0???No change.
Apparently the map height issue is a matter of performance... chunks are 16x16x128, in other words, they're 16x16 meter patches of land that stretch from bedrock to the sky. Loading and updating them is the main performance and memory drain, both in SSP and SMP. Doubling the height also doubles the memory requirements, etc.
There have been some advancements in the area, however, through the Cubic Chunks mod (https://www.google.com/search?q=minecraft+cubic+chunks), which converts your saved games to use a different format for storing chunks. Since it only stores cubic chunks (not columns), the map height is irrelevant to performance. I don't know the details, but I can't imagine that it's a simple thing to apply, and I know that it would have to be supported by the server for SMP (if it even exists for SMP). One can only hope that Mojang likes the mod enough to incorporate it into vanilla Minecraft, much like they did with Scaevolus's McRegion mod (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Beta_Level_Format).

I do understand (and generally enjoy) the risks, and I understand that if I, say, die by falling into a pit of lava, my stuff's going to burn up and die. But this particular risk, that you may not be able to get back to your stuff in time to prevent it from vanishing into the ether, is what gets me. If I happen to die in a plain old tunnel, why should my stuff magically despawn after only a couple of minutes? Minecraft has a number of elements that at least approximate "reality," so why is it that physical dropped objects are a huge exception? I should be able to take my good ol' time, waltz back down to wherever it is I died, and find my stuff in a big messy pile waiting for me. Getting booted all the way back to spawn seems like punishment enough...the game shouldn't also bend me over a table and delete everything I just spent the past half-hour digging up. :p
I guess what I'm using as a reference point is any old-school game like Descent, where you'd drop your stuff when you died, but would always be able to come back and get it afterwards. Hell, if the stuff needs to disappear after a while, Notch could at least bump the time to something like 15 minutes, so it's feasible to actually get back to it.
1) As a death mechanic, it's a really strong incentive to avoid dying. In Minecraft, you learn to play intelligently, as you stand to lose something by dying.Hey, I'm a professional at pulling off stupid maneuvers. Where's the fun if you can't derp yourself to death somewhere? :p
2) It encourages intelligent inventory management. If you don't want to lose all your crap, then don't carry all your crap with you. :P Seriously, in singleplayer, there's no reason to not carry a few chests with you on your descent, so that you can slap them down when you've accumulated some valuables, thereby keeping your loot safe, until you begin your return.On reading this, I felt like it'd wind up being a very tedious means of exploring, but it wound up being very useful in practice, so full credit while credit is due. It did mitigate the loss from a death that was far more wtf- than rage-inducing. I was skirting my way around a lava pool, and I happened across a dirt barrier to another side of the area. I didn't think I was standing directly under the block I dug out, but I must have been close enough for Minecraft purposes, since I was instantly flooded by a shower of gravel. It knocked me backwards, right into the lava pool. I jumped out on fire, and finally learning my lesson, I dumped out my bucket of water, except I was a second too late. Best of all, as I'm sitting there on the respawn screen, I hear about two dozen *HISS* sounds...the goddamn water poured the majority of my loot straight into the lava pool. I'd have to physically try to pull that sequence off again. :lol:

In exploring my surroundings, from the road to Grimper's house and following the train tracks I came across the unfinished/under contruction Pinbalance Heights area, which was rather close to my Fort and it's surrounding area, to its east; Is it still being constructed, if so who's in charge?

Trees shouldn't really be growing at all if you're not actively planting saplings.
New trees aren't growing. The top is just expanding. I planted a whole bunch of saplings in real close proximity to each other to make one big super tree that generates a lot of wood at it is just out of control.Ah, you just happened to grow an uber-tree, then. Newly-grown trees will sometimes grow branches off the main trunk, and once in a while you get one that has a whole bunch of them stretching out every which way. It doesn't keep expanding after the initial growth, though.

Hear ye, hear ye!
In light of recent unprecedented expansion of New TrashMania, the Emperor has decreed more land to be flattened and roads be placed, to expand the town area. The Emperor also decreed full use of the royal storage to these construction project, as well as help from the core of royal engineers (whenever time and circumstances allow).
Already houses, mansions and tavers and sprouting up.
Some citizens have voiced concernes that they might loose prime realestate area, as construction around the city center is expanding rapidly, and they might be forced to build in the outskirts, near the prison.
But fear not, since there is still much glamor and prestige a bit further from the center. The armory, barracks, mages guild and man other structures vital to the city will be contracted there. All involved earn citizenship.
Do you have what it takes to be a citizen?
So join in.
Do you part.
There is a long build project ahead, and TrashMania needs YOU!

I wound up in this whole chain of unexplored caverns and stumbled across a couple of diamonds and a decent amount of ore. At that point I was fresh out of pickax, so I got a general idea of the coordinates and figured I could find my way back later. Not a chance. I can't even remember what part of my goddamn network I started in to get there, and the more I try to find it, the more I wind up in the same few places over and over again. Even if I were to try to set up some sort of sign system or mark which places I've checked, everything is so circuitous that I'd probably still wind up running in circles. Urrrgh.
Being a person with an affinity to Anglo-Saxon runes, I decided I'd replace the Minecraft enchantment system's Galactic Standard Alphabet text with something I can actually read but still isn't boring every-day English. :)

Haha, very nice myte, very nice.
Also, I just had this sudden desire to replace the music files in Minecraft with music from Descent. It'd certainly be fitting at times...

[edit]who might PD_Top_Gun on my server be?
Man, you're doing it the hard way. :P
Why not simply mute the game music, and play the other music with the audio/media player of your choice?
ah, k. Mongoose, you has permissions to do stuff on the server now.Cool, thanks, I'd forgotten to post about that. :) I stopped by a couple of days ago to take a peek around, and while I was amused by not even having permission to die, I managed to drop myself into a room with doors I wasn't allowed to open, so that kind of ended things. :p

Sidenote: Music changed, everything is in working order. I am now playing Minecraft with Descent music huzzah
EDIT: Upon mention of Pecs server, I'm encountering an unbearable amount of lag for some reason. Nothing has changed since the last time I've been on the server, and now it's just over the top. Anything change on your end? Or am I just doing something terribly wrong
So has there been any update on Bukkit's efforts. I'm really looking forward to upgrading to 1.0, but I don't want to go through the bother of having two separate installs.they're taking their sweet sweet time, as always -.-
Ahh, trufax. :]
I think my personal favorite tracks for caving adventures are levels 13 and 14. I mean holy crap, that moment some 15 years ago when I first played those levels and that music started will be forever ingrained in my memory. :shaking:
That's hilarious, I just found that yesterday, too. It's the soundtrack from the MAC version of Descent. :)
When the server upgrades to 1.0.0 (hopefully sometime before the next ice age) I will be wiping the nether for a fresh start. This will mean that items stored in it will be lost and the nether rail will be gone as well.Do you think it'd be a good idea to organize some sort of scavenging effort on the current nether structures, then? I know it's kind of pointless either way for people who have creative, but for those of us that don't, there's a lot of material that'd essentially go to waste. I wouldn't mind killing some time collecting the Nether rail and throwing it in the storehouse myself. Hell, we could even recycle the obsidian in the Nether gates if we felt like it.
I've been away from the server for a while,partly because I was having cooling problems on the processor, and partly because I wasn't in a Minecrafty sort of 'phase'. Anyway, should be back soon, in Glasgow atm :)having fun with the mrs, eh? :p
Is now building a swamp fort in SP.
On a side note, when you start dreaming in low-res cubes, does that mean you've played too much minecraft?

Minecraft and Skyrim...a deadly combo. Where has my life gone to?
Heh...here I am trying to build something of a treehouse complex, and when I wandered around a bit on pece's server last night, I found that someone had managed to build actual tree houses. Like, legitimate structures inside large trees, with foliage for the walls and ceiling. That's just awesome.if you are talking about the stuff behind the "baby creeper", to the right of flips place, i think that that was actually built with harvested wood and leaves mostly. i know whoever built it had planted a whole forest around the place.
No, it wasn't near the creeper; it's actually about as far from the main house as that, but in the opposite direction to the south, near the large castle.(http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/2395/clipboard01lfu.th.jpg) (http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/2395/clipboard01lfu.jpg)
Question is! How much of your time does Minecraft take?
One can force minecraft to save both chunk and player data through the "/save-all" command, though I don't know if that would be a practical solution or not.which only actually works when the server didnt kill itself via using up all the availible ram. if that happens, good luck getting any commands getting through.
Is it just me, or is there less ativity on the server ATM?
Must be all the other games out there.

I can't wait to go 1.0 myself, but I just chose not to upgrade yet so I could keep playing. :pJust keep a jar of each and you can rename them as fit, so if you want to play 1.0, rename the 1.8 minecraft.jar to minecraft1.8.jar and rename the 1.0 Minecraft jar to minecraft.jar, and vice versa.

You should really consider cordoning off specific areas for new players to build, and giving all of us older players rights for everywhere. Then the server could show up on /v/ and it wouldn't really matter.

i need to calc the time people've been on mine.
Hmm...I somehow missed the boldfaced line in the tree farm wiki entry that says that oak trees now (annoyingly) grow branches even when they're limited to 8 blocks in height. That'll make things in my tree farm a bit more irritating. What's even more annoying is that birch and pine trees apparently need a 7x7 space free of anything but their own foliage, so I don't think the trees I planted a square away from the wall will grow. I don't really feel like expanding things out anymore, and my cavern turned out larger than I originally wanted anyway, so I might just not bother.
I tried making a tree farm but ended up making a small spaceous forest as those branches were hitting other trees while I planned to put another tree in between them. Kinda annoying but it's also good having ubertrees.
Perhaps you could 'make' your own tree by using tree blocks and leaf blocks, if that doesnt automagically turn it back into a tree, that is..

It does it all on a per-player basis, so I can revert changes based on player and/or area within a timeframe. It's rediculously powerful as an admin tool. I could tell you who the last person to place a cobblestone block was, or how many coal blocks have been destroyed by explosions within the last 3 hours. It's really quite cool and I should probably look into getting a stats webpage set up.
Did some testing with what lags the server most. It seems to be entity-acting blocks such as sand, gravel etc. Blocks which fall down. If I remove a lot of sand (which I did to make the stronghold for 1.0) the server lags up and if I don't stop dies, reboots itself and comes back up. Maybe someone with more understanding on servers can connect the dots why things such as falling sand do this?That's pretty interesting and weird, it won't stop your progress on the stronghold any though, right? :<

What I believe is happening is due to the large amounts of physics that occurs, the write is put off for a fraction of a second, causing more block data to have changed. This leads to a longer write cycle and more block data sent to the client, giving the player a longer period of time in which to mine more physics based blocks, leading to an even longer write cycle... Ad infinitum, or until the combined latencey caused by lots of physics calculations and writes to disk leads to the server taking so long to respond to network requests that the client believe the server to have died and kicks you from the game.
...
I was looking at a plugin that reduced how often the game saves to the hard drive among other things but by default it likes putting a lot of chunks in vram (somthing which the server literally has none of) and so it crashed the server repeatedly quite fantasticaly with out of memory errors. I'll try re-enabling it and disabling chunk caching.

What did you use to set this database up? My friend runs a Minecraft server and has been having trouble with griefers, I know she'd appreciate this sort of info.
Edit: Hey Grimper, I stopped by earlier to check out the setup at your tree farm, and that little "thumper" you replicated was lagging the hell out of me. Also, I ran into two or three abandoned minecars on your track and was promptly set upon by multiple spiders, which was not exactly fun. I put the minecarts in your "Free Seeds" chest. You really need to plop down a few torches along that rail; I had to fumble along in the dark the rest of the way to your house. :p
Okay...as of now, the Mongoose Salvage Co. has removed all of the rail, redstone torches, and buttons associated with the main Netherrail line, and placed them in their requisite chests in the storehouse. (I might go back and grab the fencing separating the two rails later, since the storehouse doesn't have much of that.) I didn't touch any of the signage, so it's still useful as a shortcut until the Nether's reset. If anyone still needed to use the rail on a regular basis, I'll gladly pull a mea culpa and re-lay it. I left the loop to the portal to Sara's floating island, since I assumed that was her own material. I also left the loop from the locked "library" door to another portal, since I have no idea who owns that. I'm assuming it's whoever made the great little "Your Ad Here" sign next to that huge circular...whatever it is. It's an awesome thing, albeit rather infested with Endermen at the moment. :p
Oh, and if anyone is ever in need of wood, wheat, melons, or mushrooms, just let me know and I'll hit you up. Come to think of it, I should toss some melon seeds in the storehouse, since I have more of them than I know what to do with.
in my experience? avoid bukkit dev builds like the plague.
also, there's the itsy bitsy issue of plugin compatibility with dev builds.
I have decided to connect my rail to the road between trashmania and JC's place. If both parties agree, I would like to build a rail in both directions along the road.
I have decided to connect my rail to the road between trashmania and JC's place. If both parties agree, I would like to build a rail in both directions along the road.
Idk it kinda makes the effort put into that road and the midway inn useless, as well as my cool signs D:
If it was up to me, I'd do 2 new lines:
First one would be an extension of my rail line, leading to JC's first fort (ground level rail, not elevated, me and JC both like keeping natural beauty intact)
Second would be an extension of the trashmania1 line, leading to trashmania2. That way you could see all of trashman's creations from the 1 railway line.
(also, a short line going from spawn and connecting to the trashmania rail, if there isn't one already)

It's also worth mentioning that I already have a planned connection to Sandwich's place, my rail runs right next to it underground. I will be completing that one after this one is done.
Strange idea that literally came to my mind 10 seconds or so ago. We could colour the line of blocks where rails are on, with different colours (red brick, black obsidian, grey cobble, yellow sandstone, blue dia-.. well maybe not diamond) to seperate the rail-lines from eachother.
*snip*
My main point here is though, that using signs a cart can have a "tag" added to it, and that "tag" can be read at a track switch to determine which way it goes.
This means that multiple lines can use the same section of rail, but be switched in an other direction if it has the appropriate tag.
I do like the idea of coloring the torch blocks around the rail lines; I think it might go a bit overboard to color the entire rail structure. As for that super-rail idea...honestly, I can't say I'm a massive fan. I feel like it'd really mess up a lot of the cool vistas and sight-lines we have on the server, and between the warp points and the pre-existing rails, not to mention the Nether gate system, getting around isn't a huge deal at the moment. If someone were to pull off something like that, I'd greatly prefer that it be tucked underground.
Also, Pec, that's bloody impressive how much frakking time Yoko and Flip spend on there.You have no idea.
I think that that's too much of an eyesore.
I think it would be a bit complicated with rails and all too.
Saying that, a better central station under spawn wouldn't do any harm, and it would be good for most of the rails to have some common starting point.
EDIT:
Starting work on a central station under spawn.
I need to find a little corner of pece's server where I can at least build a shack or something. I don't think I'll spend much time building on there, but it'd be good to have a home base.
By the way, what's all that cloudy-textured stuff on pece's dynmap?

Also, Pec, that's bloody impressive how much frakking time Yoko and Flip spend on there.well, they are my two favourite players :D
By the way, what's all that cloudy-textured stuff on pece's dynmap?what cloudy textured stuff?

I'd be willing to pay for Qaz to upgrade the server if neccesary myself too ;) Though it generally runs pretty stable. The amount of time those two play on Pece's server is insane though, it's like they're part of the scenery.heheheheheh.
We should all pitch in and convinceFix0r3d.qazrhx to switch to linode. They have a 1GB VPS for $39.99/m, and they don't suck.
if you mean the stuff in the water, then thats something we have the 1.8.1 worldgen to thank for.Ah, okay. It initially looked strange how the dynmap was rendering it, so I thought it was something other than water.

I was getting thoroughly lost on your server last night trying to find deathfun's new area, and I came across some pretty amazing stuff. It seems like almost everyone has enough resource-harvesting capabilities to supply the whole server themselves. :pthank the spawner project for that.
I was really impressed by that massive pagoda-esque structure with the Minecraft dude statue fairly close to spawn, though I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get to the rail line leading directly to it.That part is made by Tweeds, and the rail to there is actually still in the courtyard of the spawn house. When you exit the house, head to the exit on the left.
Whoever made that large-scale mob spawner near bedrock with the clock-controlled water collector is a mad genius.yokoso started it, flipside, micos, baurge and myself joined in on the fun, 4 days later and a 48x48(or bigger, not sure exactly) square was dug out (and by dug out, i mean dug out. no worldedit, no fastmine, no creative mode. back in 1.7.1 iirc.) i think most of us still have ****tons of resources left from that.
Really like the pumpkin decor at whoever's place is up north; some of those dyed-wool floors nearly blinded me. :Di think thats by flipside and yoko together.
I enjoyed Flipside's "magical forest," and his tree farm proper is nothing short of gargantuan.heh.

Land on dynmap is colour coded by height. The cloudy white stuff is high land, like mountains, and the lower you go, the darker the colour gets. Notice how JC's castle is set in a very dark area, because the land there has been lowered.
Hey deathfun, I started putting up a quick little hut a ways north of your big project on the same island. It's the sort of thing that'll be quick to take down if/when you need to expand up to that area. Lord knows I have my hands full enough with qaz's server, but I'll gladly plop down a house in your city once you get it up and running. :)
People were asking if they could donate to server running costs, so, uh, here's a donation link (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=ZHLWMN38TXMLE). If there's enough, I'll upgrade the server to get another 512MB of ram, it's another $10 a month, but there's also a CPU upgrade to 2GHz, double the storage space (not an issue at the moment) and (although it means little given our usage,) an extra 1TB of bandwith
1.9.x on both servers still I think.1.8.1 craftbukkit, 1337 build most likely
nothing2strange and I have been working on rolling out a high-speed rail network using mostly existing track originating from the new main station under spawn.
Have you got any client mods installed?
Ooooh I thought I was just lagging >.<
You might wanna remove the high speed bit...it crashed my game 5 times in 10mins and I won't be the only one :\

Was just playing on the Lostcraft server with a guy I know. The other day a pair of guys ganged up and killed me, so me and my friend completely eradicated their house and replaced it with a hollow hill with an illuminated tree on top with a sign notifying them of how theyhad just been ****ed, and a 50 block deep pit inside, bellow where they'll spawn. So they will either fall to their death upon spawn, or have to spend ages digging themselves out.
Revenge is sweet...

With enchantments in the game now we are going to have to nail that mob spawning problem. Getting decent enchantments pretty much requires your own personal mob farm to funnel mobs to you to kill, and atm there's only 1 semi working farm on the server (fenris)
[10:36:57] <qazwsx-mobile> can some minecrafter please post that my server has updated to 1.0.1?
[10:37:00] <qazwsx-mobile> thanks

1) No more grinders, you can obviously see what the first one did
2) It has been fixed, lay off it already
NOTE: Qaz downgraded the server version again. It's back to 1.8.1 because of plug-in problems.
dangerously outdated versions of eeeverythiiiiing, will get sorted when I get back from oxford interviews tomorrow.oof. yeah. i fell into that pit a few times myself. it can be a ***** to sort out sometimes.
mine is okay, no brokenness.
then again, it depends on which plugins you use.
Hmm I still don't know how to get 1.8.1 to work again; what do I do with the jar? Renaming doesn't seem to work.
Bro hug!mine is okay, no brokenness.

Dont like how mobs are spawning? Move to trashmans place. There is nothing broken, or at minimum nothing that can be fixed. Again, lay off it.
Sweet, not reading the thread for a whole day pays off. No need to downgrade!
Speaking of mob traps, how exactly does the Fenris spawner work? Is it the really-big-room-of-trenches-down-at-bedrock method I've seen on the wiki? I think I might like to try building one for my SP world, so I was wondering how best to set it up. I might just copy that Two Awesome Gamers Skyblock podcast's derpy one, since that looks fun. :p
Riiight... One day we saw you join the server and decided, "Hey, you know what would be fun? lets never let anything spawn for Grimper!"...
Riiight... One day we saw you join the server and decided, "Hey, you know what would be fun? lets never let anything spawn for Grimper!"...
o.O you act like I'm the newbie here...you realise I've been at HLP 4 years compared to your 11 months? I don't see the need for such attitude, all my arguments have been civil and well researched. Unless you can come up with the same I don't see the point in complaining about me. It's really not that hard to present facts and solid evidence against someones case...unless there is no evidence against to present of course.
If you can't keep calm and civil about this, put it into PMs instead of flooding the thread with trash.
Okay...before this goes any further, let's tone it down a notch here. It should be fairly self-evident that there is something wonky about how hostile mobs spawn on the server as a whole. Grimper and I were standing next to the Fenris grinder for a good 5-10 minutes earlier tonight, after we had gone down and checked out the setup down there, and not a single monster was drawn up into it; on any normal SP map, there would have been a constant stream of stuff getting killed there. TrashMan's certainly not imagining the hordes of Endermen that keep screwing up his stuff, and Grimper's spawner is twice the size of the Fenris one yet flat-out doesn't produce anything.
It's still up in the air what causes this behavior, whether it's just the 1.8 mob-spawning code versus the new 1.0 code, or something about the server setup/plugins, or some combination of the two. But I see absolutely nothing productive about saying something like, "Stop mentioning it, it's not going away." If it's a matter of needing the new spawning code, then that's easy enough. If the behavior remains the same after the upgrade is taken care of, then I think it's at least worth looking into whether it's something that can be resolved. It's not like the issue will go away if we plug our ears and pretend it's not there.
(And it went further before I could even get this written. Fantastic.)
I am fully aware that it will not just go away, however Gimper is making a lot of noise and doing nothing to try and solve it
Now that the love has been returned to this thread, I propose that a friendship statue be built at the spawn. Perhaps a 100 foot tall pair of breasts..... ;7

I am fully aware that it will not just go away, however Gimper is making a lot of noise and doing nothing to try and solve itGuess you forgot about the suggestions I've made in the server, none of which have been tried yet. The most likely one to fix it is increasing the chunk unloading radius. At the moment chunks unload before a player moves far enough away for the hostile mobs in it to despawn, keeping them in there. Warping is also a probable cause, since that would instantly unload the chunks.
I have no idea why mobs "love" me so. Lord knows I hate them.
But honestly Gimper, you constant complaning has been...tiresome.

Meh doesn't matter if no one likes me for it. I've managed to get the issue looked at again and now it's common knowledge, which will speed the process to it being fixed. You'll be thanking me for it when people's creative mode time is up and you go back to survival and limited resources.
Change isn't brought about by people sticking their heads in the sand.
Let's just hunt Sandwiched and make him drop 2x bread and 1x steak every time he dies. :D
What's the big deal over some mob thingy anyways?
I see you don't understand the concept of taking it to PM's like I mentioned 20 posts ago. Acting haughty after every post I make isn't helping your rep, or cleaning up this topic like I've been trying to do, but you won't go for.

Basicly, a grinder is something that spawns a ton of mobs, kills them, and puts all their loot in one location for easy pick up. For hours on end, or however long you stay there.
At least according to the wiki article on spawning (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Spawning#Mob_Spawning), it seems like squids should have a separate cap from animals and monsters, so I wouldn't think that re-enabling them would affect anything else.
And yeah, you could always get someone to drop you off a few stacks of stuff, but I can't be the only one who feels like that's a bit cheap. It's one thing to be using creative mode to do something as insane as the Fenris or Trashmania, but I enjoy the concept of getting by with what's available to me in the world myself.

A grinder is just as bad as asking a creative person, only you don't actually have to ask.Not really. A grinder is something that's constructed in-game and uses in-game mechanics, and you still have to stand there and wait for the stuff to roll in.
can't you protect the entire server with a login or something? so that unless you sign in, you can't interact with any blocks?

Or you for trying to start another fight, I answered mongoose's question and nothing more.
EDIT: The topic of grinders being good or bad and their history on the server is a completely different one anyway, why are you dragging it back?
Or maybe IronBeer since he started it again xDI'm terrible at detecting sarcasm solely through text, so lemme set the record straight (hopefully for the only time):
To be honest I thought you guys meant creators as being creative mode peopleI was. Creator = frilly term I'm trying to coin for players with Creative Mode
1) Okay...whatever the reason before, mobs are back. Like, back. It's a nightmare trying to run outside at night, which is probably how it should be. Yeesh.
3) Something's up with the rail system, or more specifically booster rails. They barely give any boost at the moment, so the rail network is essentially useless right now.

Well, there's always powered minecarts available as a work-around, if you don't mind a slower ride and some coal usage.
[old man voice] Back in my day, we didn't have any fancy powered rails! [/old man voice]

They don't even work in single. Soon as you try to go up a hill the carts will glitch thru you, if they can even push you up it in the first place.
I have been bugging qaz to move the server for a bit now, but he has access to the Paypal with the money, and the world files on the VPS, whereas I dont.Sorta liek, oxford intervew breh. :P
The downtime and lag is getting ridiculous now but there is nothing I can do about it.
If i had access to the files I could atleast do a server move and sort the cost out in a bit, but I can't.
I will set a date for tuesday for the move, because we are more than ready to move (qaz has the money ready, I have found the best deal) but for some reason it still isn't happening.
I say it would take all of two hours to move the data and configure it properly.
I am proposing we try http://www.bestminecrafthosts.com/beastnode/, I was on them for a bit before, and they were good already, but since they have got a better connection, switched to SSD's, and we'd be having much more RAM than before.
They have a 7 day money-back gaurnetee, so I see no reason why we can't try them out.

Beastnode do supply SQL for free.
So yeah, tuesday? I'll transfer the world files directly, no point downloading them then re-uploading them if I can just upload them from the VPS with the decent bandwith it has (it's about 1GB now just for world files). If beastnode don't provide SQL, we can still use the VPS one and transmit over the internet. Might also produce tectonicus render on it and just use the VPS for webhosting and SQL.
I have a driving lesson from 2 till 4 though, so when do you want to do it?

Yup. Takes a lot of Ender Eyes to find the stronghold (let alone activate the portal), as sometimes when you toss them they will shatter instead of falling to the ground to be picked up again. Though you can really save on pearls if you throw one from a few widely separated locations, draw a line on the map for the direction the pearls want to go, and extend them to where they cross.Problem is, Ender Eyes don't always point toward the same stronghold.
Then X marks the spot!
edit: I wish there was a similar way to find Nether Strongholds, of course without the prerequisite of BLAZE POWDER which you have to get from those strongholds in the first place. D: But then again Nether Stronghold are usually much easier to see (not being totally buried and all that). Anyway, blah.
It should actually be unlimited, but Notch hasn't added that little value into the coding yetI need to make a shut-off switch for the grindah.

Alright, so that means the server move is complete, Qaz? Looking forward to test when I get back home.
Hmm...well, things are working much more smoothly now, but I did run into one or two lines marked as "completed" that didn't seem to be boosting properly.I agree we still have had afew boosting problems, but they were on the line with boosters that were spaced out at the maximum possible to save resources, and as such with faster carts seemingly needing more power, this wasn't working. We have rolled out boosters both double in frequency and ammount on the place of line that we found was effected thisafternoon.
I also have to wonder how the new system works if you're coming in manually with your own cart...will you still wind up at the central station?You will either end up at the central station under spawn (most likely) or new trashmania station, which has platforms for all the destinations central station has. However, I am working on sorting this slowly.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the whole rapid-transit concept. I mean, it's really cool from a technical standpoint, and I know rhx has put a ton of work into it...but I dunno, it seems to take most of the fun out of getting around the world. I remember first joining the server and being overwhelmed by the different rail lines, which meant that I wound up randomly cruising around them, finding all sorts of cool things people had built. I felt a sense of accomplishment when I finally had most of the system down, but the new system removes even the possibility of that. In addition, the fact that you're whizzing by everything so fast means that it's very difficult to hop out if something you're passing happens to catch your eye; I wound up finding a lot of cool spots that way.I understand what you're saying :) but in reality most new players just get warped to "cool stuff" and I think that most inter-area transport these days seems to be done with warps. I thought a fast, automatic railway gives the convenience of a warp, but still feels legitimate and does give more of a view of the server than a simple warp.
I'm impressed by all the work done in such a short amount of time though, RHX and Qaz. Don't overwork yourselves. ;)Hah, I don't do any work, rhx puts all the effort in :P
I'm certainly glad the blocks have stopped respawning a moment after I break them with a pick or otherwise, while it was funny for the first few times it became kind of a gripe as I effectively had to re-remove entire sections of walls again because the packets never arrived. A bit of TNT solved that but I only had a few for the occasion. Now it's solved due to a better, stable server I'm quite happy indeed. :)

I still think both servers need a 100 foot tall statues of friendship.....or 12. :nervous:if there be mods that extend the height above 128... there might be.
besides, you're free to start constructin yer own :p

Minecraft is in meters, I'm sure there's room for a 30-block tall statue just about anywhere.
How wide on the other hand... Flat land is sometimes hard to come by.
Hey pece, speaking of permissions, is there something that has to be turned on to let people use /home and the related commands? I wasn't able to accept Yoko's invite to her house when I was on a week or so ago.Yoko is a boy. :nervous:
but yeah, deathfun, dont do that, tis bad :p(http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw16aa5eFB1qcysa6.jpg)
See? We can bash too. Now knock it off, both are good servers. But comments like that ruin it.I wasn't serious myte...
Is there some kind of block protection going on in the End? Tried exploring it and mining some stone while dodging the dragon, but anything I mined popped right back, similar to normal lag but it doesn't happen in the overworld.End is really messed up, hell, me and rhx, as OPs couldn't warp out. /home works though
EDIT: Also I appear to be stuck in there, boss won't die and I don't have permission to warp anywhere -.-
EDIT 2: Figured I could get out by dying, so I jumped off the edge, but it places glass blocks beneath you before you can fall into the void xD
Managed to do it by stacking up blocks quickly before they can disappear and then falling from a height onto the glass. However while doing that I got kicked about 3 times for "flying" lulz.

basically you have to be invited to someone's home before you can /home <name> there.
its also possible that i messed something up over there, but who knows. i'll run through perms again.
it was a perms ****up :sigh:
fixed.
Also, removed a few extraneous perms that werent used anymore.

Why don't you set up a cron job to check every minute if the server is off and to restart it if necessary?no NPE's? they're the first to pop up when ram gets sparse.
How much RAM do you use for Minecraft on the server?
What do the minecraft server logs say? Nothing at all? I have a frequent crashing problem on my 1GB VPS and the logs just... end. No errors.
:lol: Well, Yoko got playing on another server with Baurge, but he will be coming back, he just needed a change of scenery. And I entered a different gaming 'phase' for a while, which happens, I felt the need to shoot things with something more advanced than a bow ;)
I'll be back in a few days most likely, saw you when I hopped on yesterday, but it's just a question of what gaming 'mood' I'm in at the time.
Now that the nether has been reset when can I start re-building? :)whenever you want, I'd suggest speaking to rhx when he's back online first though.
he said yesterday ingame that he was converting it to.. something. i forgot what :p

I fear the server will end up like something from 'Saints Row the 3rd' :wtf:
The Enderdragon is defeaten! And it made me level 139. Will craft items for server from that.how in the world did you manage that? O_o
BTW I can spawn mobs - so if anyone/a group feels like going to the end, I can re-spawn another benderdragon so people can fight it again.
How not? Go to The End, float to Enderdragon (SMP bug needs you to get to island first), let Qaz switch off floating ability and battle it fair and square. It broke half of my diamond armour. Luckily the new armour system of 1.0 of MC doesn't let you lose health if armour is not too damaged.
The timer on item despawning doesn't start until the chunk the items are in is loaded, so if you can manage to avoid going near your items while you find the most direct route to them, you should be able to avoid losing them.Unfortunately, I had to do a bit of digging down a cliff face to get back to the spot, so I had to keep the chunk loaded for a while. If I had followed my instincts and grabbed another pickax instead of rushing back there, I probably could have made it.
Those pictures (awsome) made my poor netbook cry.Thanks. I had a to wait a few times to allow the chunks to load (some of the shots that I didn't post have some fun parts missing like the second layer of the wall making it look like a picket fence).
Would you mind if I used some of them for a website I am working on for the server?
Glad the HS railway worked for you btw.
Why does the netherrail need a fence in the middle? It just makes it feel cramped, and forces you to break the fence if you want to get to a portal on the other side.
EDIT: Just noticed the gates. Either way it still makes it feel cramped; maybe that's the effect you're going for though.
If you would like to, building a portal at -204, 129 would service my northern outpost.Are those co-ords overworld or nether? If you could give me the x/y/z/f of your overworld gate I'll get it lined up and connected before I give up creative.
The coordinates I gave were the nether coordinates to use. Should just be my overworld coordinates divided by eight, correct?
Actually, while on the subject of Minecraft co-ords, my experience is the Y co-ord is the up/down. Is this true for a lot of other 3d stuff? I allays feel like I'm getting Y and Z mixed up. :lol:Yes, in minecraft the Y is up/down. Y being up/down is rather common; it is also what FSO uses for vertical coord. Most games I have seen use Y as up and down. The ones were I have seen Z be up and down are things like RTS or stuff that deals with Earth where the primary direction of movement is on a X/Y plane.
*I think the compass directions have been rotated. On my screen the dynamap shows North as pointing to the right while oddly North changes direction when I switch to the nether view.Yes, as of version 1.0.0, the sun now sets in the "East", rather than setting in the "North", but most most everyone assumed what the game called "north" was actually the east because it was were the sun was setting.
Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, is there any sort of general etiquette for grabbing glowstone from the Nether? Since all the stations are clustered so close together, I don't want to start grabbing things that other people might have a more immediate use for.Before the wipe, there was just about no Glowstone to be found anywhere near the outpost. I'd say you probably wouldn't be impolite to scoop up whatever you want, but I don't know for certain. If you really don't want to step on anybody's toes, mount a little expedition- the Nether is just lousy with Glowstone deposits if you're any good at vertical building.
I think it's fairly standard in 3D math for Z to be the up/down axis, so it can take a bit of getting used to if that's what people are more familiar with.Actually, while on the subject of Minecraft co-ords, my experience is the Y co-ord is the up/down.

You'd think it would have made more sense to just change the direction labels instead of physically moving the sun. It would suck if someone specifically designed a building around facing the rising/setting sun and then had it screwed up because of the change.*I think the compass directions have been rotated.

Here's a question for you, though: does the gate height in the overworld directly correspond with the height in the Nether? My little complex is almost at the top of the map, so if I put the gate close enough to be convenient, I'm afraid it might be well above where the Nether rail is situated, which would just make things very difficult. One thing I could possibly do instead is put one at the bottom of my hill if that makes life easier, since I'm probably going to build some sort of thing there in the future.
Server's down every time I try to join these days.. hope you guys can look into it soon.

QFT. :D
Anyhoow. Now that I have got the original network up and running (well, I only had coordinates for my gates + the floating island, nobody replied when I asked if anybody wanted their gates reconnecting (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=73227.msg1568591#msg1568591)) I'll be giving upgodhoodcreative and continuing working on it as normal, unless anybody else has one or more gates they want reconnecting? If you do just post the portal's overworld x/y/z/f co-ords. If it ends up the netherside portal will be in thin air (or in lava) then I'll make a suitable island for it. If its in solid netherrack, well you do still remember the recipe for pickaxes don't you? ;)
You can connect the system to one of my gates in my area. :) My overworld gate is at around -100, 70, 850. It was auto generated, but its on solid ground on the netherside. It's not too far from the already built railsystem.I flew to those coords in the overworld and there is no gate there. They are in mid-air near a underwater structure which has a active gate.
Can the user "necrogami" get the permission to use tree chop?who is necrogami and why? also, has he built anything proppa? :p
Seriously, screw this game sometimes. I just had a server boot most likely kill me and definitely make me lose everything, including six diamond. I can almost live with the rest, but I'm getting those diamonds from the storehouse, because that was just bull****.
Edit: Okay, no I'm not, since there are all of two diamond blocks in the storehouse at the moment.

Sure looks black/dark grey to me, you sure you aren't thinking about obsidian or have a texture pack?Considering I'm judging by your screenshots, no?
Huh... Well still, the detail itself is there, even if the color is a bit off. I guess this is what I get for having minecraft run on the side CRT.

Eh, the guy cheated by using a program to import the frame. Its still impressive, just not as impressive as it could have been.
Anything larger than a cruiser would probably give you some trouble.
Oh right, about that tree farm thing: from what I could see in my SP game, it seems to be an MP-only issue. I have the same setup in both places, and it's only on the server that I'm losing random saplings.considering the sheer amounts of saplings close-in farms tend to generate, its not a bug its a feature, as far as i'm concerned :p

I really wish trees were more dynamic.Those arn't simple changes from a coding perspective, but there's a mod that does something similar anyway.
Hmm.. been waiting for quite a few hours for the server to get back up, any word on it?

Hello,WELP.
If you're getting this message, that means your IP address is currently victim of a Denial of Service attack, also know as DDoS/DoS attack. Our service provider is currently working on mitigating the attack right now so in the meantime your server will not be accessible until they have fixed the issue for us. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know and we will be happy to assist.
Hmms yeh minimap is probs a good option too, havn't used one myself. Optifine however is overkill if you don't need it, and due to the amount of base class edits it makes, its incompatible with a lot of mods. So if you just want the fog gone its better to go with the smaller mod.

Yeah, Optifine gets my vote too. I'm interested to see what can be done with spoutcraft and the new Spout server in development. Also, the server-client mod communication planned for spout server/spoutcraft will be extremely interesting.bandwith savings, for a start :p
o.o who would wanna devote all those resources to shutting down a small minecraft server that has like max 3 players on at a time?I'd assume it's the whole provider/host, not just the box running our server.
Or is there something else important at your IP?
Yeh thats what I would think...cept the email specifically mentions qaz's IP.
Though I'm not sure how the server works. Is it run at a server hosting company along with a heap of others? Or it it hosted at qaz's house and beastnode is just his ISP?
I'd assume it's the whole provider/host, not just the box running our server.
Same, and even if it was hitting others too, they wouldn't exactly tell anyone those IPs. What I don't understand is why not move those servers to a different IP and inform all the people instead of just let the ISP try and get rid of it. They have the static IPs (obviously), so unless their whole range is getting hit it seems the least they can do for paying customers. Its not like changing IPs on a VM is hard.for those using dns, dns updates might take a while to propagate, no?

That is assuming that they have other IPs to move their customers to. It may also be a matter of convincing beastnode's host to give beastnode a new group of IP and null routing the previous group.
But, it still faster than the how many hours of downtime thus far? (Unless the DNS record has an insane time to live).Dns doesn't propagate (though the apparent effect is similar). Changes are instant, but they are cached and then have to expire.which is pretty much what i meant.

in short, changing ip's is a smidge harder than what kyadck seems to imply. yes its ezpz on your local nets and so on, but when you're dealing with static ip's, accessible on the global net, well...

Huh?QuoteBut, it still faster than the how many hours of downtime thus far? (Unless the DNS record has an insane time to live).
This isn't DNS games, minecraft servers are direct ip, there is no name for the Domain Name Service to service.
Since they are still capable of selling servers, I'm going to say they have plenty of IPs left.Again, just because they can sell servers doesn't mean that their commercial site is on the same host or even the same datacenter as the servers that they are selling. In addition you are assuming that they actually own the IPs that they give out with their servers and IPs aren't actually owned by the company that runs the datacenter or by the company that provides the server hardware or network connectivity. Basically, what I am saying is, they may not be allowed to null route IP blocks or change the IPs assigned to the servers that they are selling.
If using windows 7 you can use previous versions and just roll back to before the update just right click .mincraft folder and then select properties and select previous versions selct one from before update and select restore.

*Pesters about updating just becuase I'm a d*ck* :drevil::lol:
But yeah, I've updated and it's......okay. Sheep regrow wool, stuffs been rebalanced and you can spawn mobs in creative.

Kinda, ya, they are. :) Then again, they did have dev builds out surprisingly quickly this time around. My own quick testing showed that the bulk of the plugins I use still work. Spout needed a newer dev build (big fat surprise there) and there was some weirdness with generating a new world (not sure if it was multiverse or bukkit), but that was it. Gives me hope, it does, that everything can be updated sooner rather than later.its gonna be a while :p*Pesters about updating just becuase I'm a dick* :drevil:

I think there's only one small corner of my as-yet-explored SP map that used the 1.0 terrain gen, and that consists of an ocean biome that just sort of abruptly forms a corner. I found it rather amusing when I stumbled across it.
I've been lurking on the beast node forums the last couple of days, and there's no mention of any DOS attacks.It's a combination of original difficulties, not finding an exact cause of those, the DDoS attack preventing me finding the cause of the problems and being busy with exams at the moment so I'm unable to diagnose the original issue still. All I need is one free evening, but I'm utterly swamped.
So, the new world I generated for ****s and giggles was an island.
Just an island. I could see every part of the island from where I started. I can see one much smaller island from my spawn. The smaller island has one tree on it. My island is utterly barren. Everything else is water. Traveling for fifteen minutes in all eight major different directions yielded absolutely nothing in the way of land.
WELP! Time to make the ultimate beach resort/dungeon of doom combo.
I'm currently working on a Skyblock map, since the podcast by Two Awesome Gamers made it look like a lot of fun. Several quickly-aborted attempts later, and I finally have some semblance of order, and I'm getting my house built. It should be interesting to see what I can manage.

Random. I'll check it out when I get a few minutes.F3 in game should give you it, it's the ludicrously long number middle left on the screen.
EDIT: How do I check that, anyway?
Very nice. :) I'm working on getting my house set up, though I doubt it'll be nearly as fancy as that. It's kind of scary how mobs can manage to spawn in the tiniest patches of darkness; I had to put torches on the top of my house walls to get rid of them. I think I'm going to try copying the mob grinder that the TAG guys used, which is basically a closed-off room 30 or so blocks above a platform. Watching everything splat and die is my idea of fun. :DI'm currently working on a Skyblock map, since the podcast by Two Awesome Gamers made it look like a lot of fun.

Yup, SkyBlock was a fun diversion for a night: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/600254-surv-skyblock/page__st__1180#entry8916787
With the latest update I can't even play SP, the performance is so bad.
Who'd of thought that such a basic looking game would be so demanding?
Server slowly returning to normal, basic functionality restored.
Still running 1.0, I see a few people have already upgraded :/
EDIT: Hmms server seems almost lag free though.
That music choice is amusing me waaaay more than it should. :D
Wooo, server!
Indeed, I'll be trying two new plugins today, craftbook (which is undergoing a bit of revival but is still in dev builds) and commandbook to restore warp and home functionality. If those work, once my VPS comes back online, I'll try getting dynmap back up next week.EDIT: Hmms server seems almost lag free though.
I second that! I'll have to test earlier in the day to confirm if my connection issues are totally gone, though. Qaz, could we restore plugins in an experimental, one-at-a-time fashion, so perhaps figure out which one is the lag culprit?
When I search for GTC Fenris and Minecraft on you tube I find nothing.
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!
Seriously...we need a bunch of vids to showcase the awesome that is our server....

What changed to nerf mob spawns again though? Can't be any of the plugins...was working fine even with them all disabled just before the server got attacked.nothing changed, it's an identical bukkit version to before as well.
Indeed, I'll be trying two new plugins today, craftbook (which is undergoing a bit of revival but is still in dev builds) and commandbook to restore warp and home functionality.
Hmm you know what would be awesome....a house/castle whatever suspended over the void in The End <.<
Wonder if anyone else will risk doing it without creative >:]
Hopefully the videos don't make the fenris a target for griefing. :nervous:
Here's the link to the BUD switch if you is interested qazThat's really quite cool, I'll try messing with it sometime :)
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Block_update_detector
He did that without creative, it's funner that way anyway. Where's the fun in working over a bottomless void of darkness if there's no danger?
Also server is being super laggy :(
EDIT: wait it might just be me
i'll make a portal of sorts. need to sort out some stuff with necrogami first.He did that without creative, it's funner that way anyway. Where's the fun in working over a bottomless void of darkness if there's no danger?

EDIT: wait it might just be me
No strongholds = no end portals to build upon
Wait, you're referring to all the stuff he built in the End... I don't refer to that. I refer to being able to get to The End as there is currently no fashion to do so on Pec's server
That and personally I prefer building stuff over mining and building.
Umm. I went to The End today. Already nuked all the crystals and got the dragon to about 50% health. Am I allowed to do that? :nervous:why not? :p
I used ender eyes to locate where the stronghold would have been, then regenerated that terrain, we've been running the same map for nearly 9 months nowHe did that without creative, it's funner that way anyway. Where's the fun in working over a bottomless void of darkness if there's no danger?

Deathfun, there's an End portal in the basement of the main building in my walled town.
It's just right of the nether portal.
Old map is back online, I'm still renting the old hosting if people want the creative map up as well. :)
EDIT:
This is awesome: http://minedraft.net
Old map got screwed over by chunk errors...hope there is a backup.
Sadly I can't see what has happened to my place because my Minecraft.jar is ****ed up and can't access the internet functions properly for some strange reason. I might need someone to copy their 1.1 jar file and send it to me via email.
If hte servers are still 1.0, why am I geting the "outdated clinet" message when I try to connect? I?, running 1.0
...last night it was updated to 1.1, have fun.
Ooh, ooh!
So...
Is there a way for you gentlemen to prop that thing any higher up in the air than it is now?
Looks nice! Sorry for my absence, seems I got a bit of a winter blehhh like every year.I know that feel. :(

And with that I want to ask for some help form you minecrafters. I'm stuck with the castle..dunno what to build (on the inside).
So I invite you to build rooms, stairs..whatever. I need to fill that giant thing with something.
Yarr..I can play again.

But when warp functionality is restored. No way in hell am I going to New Trashmania with barely a clue as to where I need to travel to.Hey, I just managed somehow a bit earlier today. Even more amazingly, when I fumbled my way back home, I managed to line up exactly with my house! I couldn't manage that again even if I was using dynmap. :D
You can put the Berzerker in a time-out corner as an Ultramarine instructs him as to who his Spiritual Liege is. :PYarr..I can play again.

I should get to work on that walkway to JC's I was gonna build.
I fell into a YouTube Minecraft hole last night, and after seeing such crazy stuff as a thousand-pixel display and an actual functioning game of Pong, I came across someone engaging in a project called Far Lands or Bust (http://farlandsorbust.com/). Basically, this guy is physically walking out to the "Far Lands," the area where the terrain generator breaks down and creates these huge pitted cubes of land, out around 12 million blocks from spawn. (This behavior was changed/fixed in 1.8, so he's still running 1.7.) He's raising money for Child's Play in the process, so it's a good cause in addition to a crazy pursuit.
I'm not one to complain, but there has been some strange behavior as of late that I feel should be made known to qaz and rhx.It's known and been happening for a while now when the server is laggy. Player data gets reset back to a certain point, but placed blocks and chest contents are saved. So if you wanna keep ur stuff safe, put everything in a chest before you log off, or if it starts getting laggy put away anything you dont need.
He must have started it up again, then, since he posted the most recent video yesterday. :pI fell into a YouTube Minecraft hole last night, and after seeing such crazy stuff as a thousand-pixel display and an actual functioning game of Pong, I came across someone engaging in a project called Far Lands or Bust (http://farlandsorbust.com/).

Yeah, Kurt ended that campaign a few months ago with a 12-hour livestream or something like that. He didn't make it all the way to the Far Lands, though.
Twice I've been on as the server crashed, and whenever I relogged some time later, I'd always be back in my house (which was the last place I cleanly logged off) with a certain configuration of items in my inventory. Normally I'd simply attribute that to the server rolling back after a crash, but when I logged on just now, my inventory and position were reset, but some work that I had done around my estate has stuck.
Okay, seriously. No more skipping stops on my rail.Just so people know, the long term plan for the server is to pretty much remove warping and be reliant on minecart systems. At the moment the traincart plugin isn't even active though. Fenris warp will still be up.
I'm cutting all ties with the new plugin-reliant system for now, it's causing too many issues. The plugin, or something, has royally screwed up the boosters on my main line as well. I kind of made it clear I only wanted the new system to run on top of the old one, leaving the old one in place.
The trashmania line is also very broken for manual use. I didn't build that section, but I'll sort it out if rhx is okay with me doing so.
(I also stumbled across a few videos for making a working portcullis, which would be awesome for Trashmania. :D)Wouldn't mind seeing that video, got a link?
Any way to turn off snow locally?Place torches.
It's getting on my nerves - every time I clear the walkway, the snow covers it again..plus it looks horribel on the parapets, with the snow haning in the air...
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/217587-11-mod-mumblelink-ml-smp-mumble-directional-voip/
So, yeah, this is rather awesome
There are a whole bunch of different videos on YouTube, but here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_137634&src_vid=d_k9lIoF6Wk&v=FjablEL_l48) one of the tutorial videos I saw.(I also stumbled across a few videos for making a working portcullis, which would be awesome for Trashmania. :D)Wouldn't mind seeing that video, got a link?
I've been using a very lightweight plugin that allows for redstone powered portcullis'. Might be the same thing.

Won't that increase the I/O?
Physical traveling from A to B means MC has to load and unload all the chuncks in between. At least with warping it only loads chunks at hte destination.
And while I understand the desire to "see the sights" and for poeple to use the railways (whoever built them wants hem used), it can sometimes be a bore and a chore to travel a vast distance - to the point people just don't do it.
Warps should be retained for far-out locations.
Speaking of, Swantz, I know you took care of most of your line, but there seems to be one spot that's still being skipped. When I took it from town, I was automatically sent out to Trashmania/JC's, skipping the transfer to the northern line. I would have fixed it myself, but I didn't have any of the materials on-hand.
It's been a week now and the chunk errors still arn't fixed. Is there a problem with the backups?

Maybe, just maybe, qaz has a life and his job is not to wait on you hand and foot? Just a concept, I know it must be hard to understand, took me a while too, but there is a world outside the server and most of us (well, the others anyway) participate in it.
Build elsewhere...
Problem solved
A world outside of Minecraft?I hear the world outside has some great shading mods for lots of eye candy, but the current economy plugin on the multiplayer side sucks. :P

Ok, but only if you blow up half your base and all your supplies with TNT then move to a new place first :)
So please, shutup already and fix your own problem WITH USE OF ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS instead of constantly nagging about it
So please, shutup already and fix your own problem WITH USE OF ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS instead of constantly nagging about it
Or you could just keep your nose out of business that has nothing to do with you ;)
However I had presumed that chunk errors across the entire map would be the servers problem, not mine. Unless you are suggesting that I somehow caused that.
EDIT: As sammich reminded me, I'd be happy to make a donation to defer some of the server costs, *if* chunks and biomes get fixed (biomes may not be possible atm though, we will see)
which old place lol, i got about 4 i thinkIt was your one right near spawn/town, so qaz might have flagged it down. I was trying to cut through there the other day and opened a door to f ind a whole lot of nothing. :p
ahhh my first one, not been back there for ages, I aught to make the trek one day, the top of that place hits the game ceiling and I think the mine under it hits bedrock
Oh right...pece, I edited in the new address for you. Sorry to hear that you're handing things over; I hope those events aren't anything too serious.Thanks Mongoose, I hope things are okay pece... :(

That is a code-side mod, not asset, it would be server only. MC clients are 'dumb terminals' if you will, they look at the server for chunk updates and so forth, which is why clients can use code modifying mods like optifine. However, this mod requires modification of the jar itself and is not a plugin, so my money is on "no it wont be installed".

TrashMania is not the only winter wonderland. My current sorroundings have changed to match.
snow..tons of snow...30+ cm deep. IN DALMATIA!
I've never seen anything like it. I did see snow fall here twice in my entire life...it was less tha 1 cm of snow that melted amsot instantly. This?
The city is in a standstill. I walked trough snow to work only to find out no one was there. Roads closed....
no global warming my ass!
Kittens in minecraft, seems interesting to me too. Jungle biome and whatsnot, curious if there's some haxor way to add it to the world map in some undeveloped area, since it seems you can't generate it in older worlds. Else I suppose we're going to have to make one by hand.IIRC, Jeb posted something on reddit about how to enable the new terrain generator on older maps. NBT editing I believe.
no global warming my ass!
That's why the term "Climate Change" is preferred.no global warming my ass!
Well if it's anything it's global cooling I guess, but it's definitely interested.
Global Warming = more erratic weather patterns with bigger extreemes. It doesn't mean "it gets warmer everyhwere".

Won't be the same without you guys on the other server :(
To be honest, I didn't get involved with the whole thing, haven't been on much lately, just heard that you were leaving from Yoko. I'm still working on getting the spare computer running a lightweight server, probably able to handle 5-6 people at a time, but possibly with some client-side mods required. You three will, of course, be invited to it when it is running :)k :)

is the server down again?Yeah, it derped out a bit earlier when I was on. It always seems to do that right when I'm in the middle of something semi-productive; I assume the stack of cedar wood I was using will have vanished whenever we can get back on. :p
I have noticed a few crashes right after Sun Shadow joins the server. I can't see why someone logging in 5000 meters from spawn would be any different than someone logging in 1000 meters away as far as the game is concerned, but given Notchcode, I guess anything's possible.
Uhh, why is necrogami's server premium-only now?long story short, he wants to make a server that might pay for itself at a later date via donations. so yeah.

anyhow, if i manage to procure some components i might be starting it back up.
since i got 4 gigs of ram and a hdd to spare, the only components are a cpu, mobo, case and psu. looking for the cheapest (new) components around here, it'd come out at around 153€ or $206.
if i could get used components at non-retarded prices, it'd be glorious, but as far as it looks like thats a "hell no".
so, no server of mine for now.
Uhh, why is necrogami's server premium-only now?long story short, he wants to make a server that might pay for itself at a later date via donations. so yeah.
yeah, well, i'd go for it if the customs wouldnt slap me like a little ***** for it (and they might, and if they do, i'm talking $100 of import taxes for the pc + whatever else they want to tack on...), so yeah. altough, the offer does actually look rather good.well, i at least spoke to folks, but i was very restrictive about permissions at first too, griefer paranoia and all that :pUhh, why is necrogami's server premium-only now?long story short, he wants to make a server that might pay for itself at a later date via donations. so yeah.
Just tried the server. They refuse to speak to you when you join, and you get no permissions.
I liked your server much more.

How does this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/OPTIPLEX-745-Desktop-Pentium-Installed/dp/B004Y4RFYM/ref=sr_1_8?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1328480430&sr=1-8) look? You can replace the hdd/ram (if your ram is ddr2, if not 2gb is enough for an MC server anyway) and its well below that price for the parts, although it is obviously used and older.
he's the guy who offered to take over hosting when i had to return the pc i was using for hosting the previous server.Uhh, why is necrogami's server premium-only now?long story short, he wants to make a server that might pay for itself at a later date via donations. so yeah.
WHO THE **** IS THIS GUY AND WHAT THE **** IS HE DOING
Bastardthe non-hamachi thing is what i ran. you basically have a machine thats always on, has port 25565 (or whichever) forwarded to it, you get a dyndns.org hostname, run minecraft, profit.
How does the non-hamachi hosting thing work? I'd be willing to host so long as it doesn't cost anything to run the server other than of course, electricity to keep the computer on
Like a Hamachi server
pec, do you have a spare case?yeah, i do have two old-ish cases (still atx supporting cases), psu's i'm not so sure about, but at least thats cheap enough to get if need be.
alright.
in other news, i got an i5 mobo for $25. woo!
now to get an i5 at a non-retarded price as well :D :p
I'm finally starting to build out my line to sandwich's place. Structure is done, just need to lay line.
I'm considering a further northern (now western) extension of my line to newer 1.0 territory. This will come after sandwich's extension is complete.
And pec, I was just asking. I was thinking of sending hardware, but then I realized I have no hardware worth sending. :(
Fine, its a Intel DP55WB motherboard. socket 1156. i think. in any case, i got it for half the price that people here in croatia are asking for used and abused am2+/am3 mobo's.alright.

No such thing as an 'i5 board', you can pop a i3 or i7 in there (if of the same socket, ie Core [1st gen] vs Sandy Bridge [2nd gen]) because its just a naming scheme because Intel hates us all. Look at a mid-range i3, you'll find far better prices.
I just took my younger brother onto the server for the first time, and after some various minecart mishaps, I managed to get him up to my house, and even showed him around the Fenris. I don't mean to suggest any time pressure or anything, but qaz, is getting dynmap back up and running something you're planning in the semi-near future? I'm assuming my brother will want to stake his own claim at some point, and I figured it'd be easier to do so if I had a bird's-eye view of what's around.Might be switching to a VPS soon, the main issues with the last VPS hosting we had were twofold:

My original intentions were to do that, but when I first asked about it you told me you wanted it to come out into the cavern. :nervous: Said it would be neat to have a station in there. I can put it somewhere else if you like.

Swantz, a rail connection to my area would be cool. Though I'm not sure what path it should take... The most logical path goes right through qaz's mansion. :p
Guys, if the height limit gets boosted to 512... you know what we're gonna have to do. There's no avoiding it. Muthaf**kin GTD Orion.
Fenris was kind of a pride thing, wanting to build it all by hand. If we did anything that size or larger again, I'd want to import the shell automatically. Filling out the insides can't be done automatically of course, but that's fine since the internals are pretty fun to do.
As long as it doesn't make the ship a solid brick. (that would suck)Which part, the solid part or the brick part? I'm sure we'd be able to define what block is used to create a hull; whether we can make it only 1/2/3 blocks thick vs solid is another question...
Axem, where would you like your station to be? Give coordinates please.
I'd be cool with importing stuff.
I saw a tweet from Jeb about adding biome data to chunks in whatever new map format he's working on; apparently, this would allow tool makers to come up with biome-editing stuff. Huzzah!

:D new snapshot is awesome, zombies can now bash down wooden doors on Hard difficulty.
We so should change the server difficulty to Hard <3
Fenris.location("theEnd") = win;
Stress testing possible new server at 199.168.142.118:25607 feel free to blow the hell out of everything.
dynmap should be up at: http://199.168.142.118:8236/ I'm not running a full render as that'll be detrimental to performance, I want to get a feel as to what the server will be like under normal conditions.
Also managed to copy over 2.5 million blocks at once, didn't crash so stuff looks promising
the clientside lag is always due to the sheer number of drops appearing and the client trying to render them all at the same time. you can crash the server with around 12k tnt being flung around like maniacal psycho's tho...
It didn't even flinch.
It took almost 3 minutes for all the TNT to explode. While the explosions didn't keep up client side, The game was perfectly playable and movement was smooth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3IB-TwzC80). (Video up soon)
Oh wow, I was thinking for a moment that someone actually blew up Trashmania2, glad it was just a mockup.
It's cool that the Fenris managed to be copied so well, think you'll keep that copy there or was it removed afterwards?
As such, you can see that The End is perfect for placing FS2 ships, now we just need to make a 'starfield' behind the ship(s).
Oh wow, I was thinking for a moment that someone actually blew up Trashmania2,
Challenge accepted.Oh wow, I was thinking for a moment that someone actually blew up Trashmania2,
They'd need a LOT more than just 3000 blocks of TNT.

Anyone know what this means for memory requirements? If I recall, it was a pretty hefty increase on the load to raise the height limit, but maybe the code's better suited for it now than when Notch first experimented with it.Optimisations mean it should be about the same.

Technicly 99,99% of that space will be EMPTY. So even saving data should be simple enough.
well..yea..but the composition is uniform. If you want to save that data, it's so easy to compress.
Heck, you don't even have to save those blocks. Save the DIFFERENCE.
So chucks above 64 height wuldn't even be saved unless there's something in them.
Along the same lines, I feel like it would be a good idea to encourage anyone who's relatively new to the server to plop down a sign labeling their stuff. I'd like to try to start up a campaign to better mark some of the older structures on the server, since there's so much that doesn't have an identifying label on it, and it'll be all the more difficult to do that if we can't even keep track of who's doing what now. It would also be a good way of resolving any potential space-usage issues that come up in the future.Yeah, I'll modify the MotD (login message) to say that, if anyone has other suggestions as to what the login message should say, feel free to post them here :)
Got a question hereI would imagine that it would work best without Hamachi since that's a VPN layer being added to the connection.
Running a Hamachi Server as opposed to a Port Forwarding server: Does one benefit over the other on a client side speed basis? Got a fellow from South Africa, who's got not so great internet. It works here and there, but could it work better without the Hamachi medium, even if it's just a little bit?
Also, how's that situation coming along Pec?the motherboard is here. the ram is here, i need a cpu and a psu.
I have come to realise that I spent £14 on a game that refuses to utilize my duel processors, despite using Optifine MultiCore.
I have come to realise that I spent £14 on a game that refuses to utilize my duel processors, despite using Optifine MultiCore.
It only really uses them for the initial world load and will not improve FPS. They tell you that right on their download link.
On top of that, if you are getting 40+ fps you don't want it to use those other cores. That's wasted power and heat, considering MC is still unoptimized as all hell and would burn multible cores to full and barely use what it takes.
Also, its Dual Core... There is a difference since there are computers with multible CPUs.
Out of curiosity, Pece, do you plan to start a whole new world or continue where we stopped before necrogami took the thing over?depends on what you people want. i can also do both.
I mean, I spent a whole lot of time finding materials, and barely any of that time actually building anything of worth
Only to realize, I didn't have enough materials anyways... so I ended up having to mine for more stuff...
Screw Minecraft. I just want the Craft part and I'm good to go
And hey, you think modded rails are fast? Check out this insanity (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzQWWLOwX7w). I kind of want to try it out for myself.

Makes me wonder if there are people out there who would be fine with things the other way around - mining all day with nothing to show for all the work. :p
I'd never hijack a server without just cause and support from the people playing on it [**** you Necro, ****... you])i'm kindly asking you to not do this. i hold no more ill will to necro.
Qaz, when oyu get around to it.....the right wall of hte city needs doing. The city is growing fast...You have creative, you can do it yourself. I'm too busy with schoolwork to play minecraft at the moment.
At least the way I see it, if the building side of things is all you're really into, then you'd probably want to lean towards a server where everyone gets creative powers handed out. However, if you are in a survival-only setting, you kind of have to tailor your construction activities to the limitations of that format. I don't want to sound like I'm picking on you or anything, but I was sort of surprised to see that you were using pine wood for all the walls/floor of your structure, since pine trees are a bit more of a pain to farm on a larger scale. If you had your heart set on going all-wood, normal oak trees would have been a better choice on Survival, since you can really mash those farms together. Building a decent chunk of it out of wood planks, or even stone, would have helped matters too.
In the end, I didn't want to join a creative server I found randomly elsewhere. I wanted to be a part of HLP's serverWell, once qaz climbs out from under his pile of schoolwork, why not talk to him about it? A few people on the server have creative enabled, so if that's the way you really want to play, you could probably work something out.
I'm not even sure what's going on in that second thing, Kyad, but it looks crazy enough to be awesome.he doesnt have the game afaik. basically, he's waiting on me to reboot my server (which i will, once i scrounge up $150-ish for the neccesary parts that are left...)In the end, I didn't want to join a creative server I found randomly elsewhere.

I know, but we're speaking in the hypothetical where he actually buys it and comes to hang out with us.
he doesnt have the game afaik. basically, he's waiting on me to reboot my server (which i will, once i scrounge up $150-ish for the neccesary parts that are left...)
but I'm not keen on anything other than personally seeing myself hand over the cash over to the person receiving it (I don't trust a third party to handle my money)Not even when over five million people have done so without any problems at all? :p
Helps to have a credit cardi paid with a visa electron debit card via paypal. check at your local bank.
:lol:are you ****ing ****ting me?
But hey, when you all get scammed because of someone tracking credit card information through whatever, siphoning off small amounts from thousands of people... I'll be laughing as I rub 500$ worth of cash down my face
Which Ican doam doing right now
EDT: WTF is with the lest screenshot???Looks like a chunk error combined with odd underground topography, plus the damage to the wall.

I just want to know where the heck everyone has been. The only people I've seen on the server for a week or so have been my brother and tommoex. I have a few group-type concepts I'd like to hash out with someone, but that becomes difficult if there's no one there. :P
Looking at those New Trashmania screenshots, all I can say is: Dear god.
The Crysis Aliens aren't paying us visits anymore. They're invading our minecraft world. :nervous:

Thank you, Grimper and JC, for making the rest of us feel much better about our lives. :D
I might need to snag myself some Trashmania real estate before it all gets claimed. :p
@trash ME3 is going to be amazing, don't underestimate such a game.
& your right wing is literally finished
good to see I've reclaimed 3rd place from kyad :L its all due to this time I've spent mining for resources and building trashes castle
UPDATED! Now running 1.2.2! :D :yes:
edit: Oh God, the mobs, they aren't burning! Why aren't they burning?! FFFFFFFFFFFF--
I have a side-job for a gaming company that eats out my spare time. Plus my regular job. Plus a whole list of games I want to play.
That is keepign my Minecraft time down...for now.
Fort (Name pending, anyone got a good name for a large castle-like structure that I can use? For some reason I'm bad at it).Castle Anthrax? :p
By the way, deathfun, if you need any assistance I'll probably be on some time when you are, so feel free to ask
I haven't really played in over 3 weeks cause sandwich hasnt been on to work on the Fenris with. :lol:
If you are interested, there are a few ways to go back to the older version that have been mentioned earlier in this thread. I know I've mentioned one or two. :)QuoteBy the way, deathfun, if you need any assistance I'll probably be on some time when you are, so feel free to ask
I updated to 1.2 so I'll be on once bukkit does too
Awesome, It's great to hear people coming with names so far, keep it up, i'll keep track and tell when I've got one I like the most. ;)The Citadel.

I'm impressed you actually had time yesterday then, when you assisted me with the further construction of the Fort (Name pending, anyone got a good name for a large castle-like structure that I can use? For some reason I'm bad at it).
I'm starting the (long) process of watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes, so how about Iserlohn Fortress? :D
Something Lord of the Rings'y, like Weathertop maybe since it's so high up.
The :v-old: Pirate Ship
Deimos.
Wait, the Deimos is less than 255m high?Deimos.
Spot on, figured someone would get it so quick. :yes: I can only work on the bottom half until 1.2.

Ya know, I've been planning to make a YouTube tour of the HLP server, but I've yet to find time to do it. :(
We're cleaning up our code to help us better prepare for the release of Minecraft 1.2. As a result, a lot of old, inefficient and buggy code is being removed and plugins will need to be updated.
/me is anxiously awaiting the recommended Bukkit 1.2 build to be released... new map height + inverted stairs means super-awesomeness for the Fenris project!

Waiting for the server to update to 1.2.3, mainly because of all the sheer lagginess - I just can't play when it's that bad. My comp seems to need an upgrade too - minecraft's lack of optimization is killing my computer after I play for about two hours.There's a couple of things I need to do to related to SQL databases that I suspect will fix the lagginess, when I have some free time I'll try and do it.
Speaking of, qaz, did that test server from a month or two back work out well enough that you're planning on moving things over at some point, or are we staying with the current server?The test server was powerul and cheap but had awful uptime, so it wasn't reallly an option :/
Yeah, I had to share some of my last few ink sacs with my brother to get his sheep farm up and running. Now I'm down to like five. :pSquid re-enabled.
Someone's probably already seen/attempted this before, but more fun with exploiting game mechanics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D25eTBxByv4)!
ohbtw, we're running 1.2 nao.
ohbtw, we're running 1.2 nao.YES!
Can't reach server :(NO!
ohbtw, we're running 1.2 nao.
YES!i have noticed this bull with other 1.2 servers actually. if i go to fast to connect, it almost never actually connects me -.-Can't reach server :(NO!
Just logged in. Looks like everything from the middle of my tower to near the Fenris has been overwritten by a swamp :(need to restore backups, server offline for the moment.
And the bad thing is the part of my tower that got overwritten had all my storage chests in it :sigh:
Ahhhh that's a problem...how do those of us who are still on 1.1 get 1.2.3? If we update it will go straight to 1.2.4
:<
EDIT: Wow that's an impressive list of bugfixes though
Ahhhh that's a problem...how do those of us who are still on 1.1 get 1.2.3? If we update it will go straight to 1.2.4to be honest, I got bored of waiting for bukkit to get to a release build, we're actually using a beta. no idea when 1.2.4 dev builds will come out :\
:<
EDIT: Wow that's an impressive list of bugfixes though.
But you'd think that now bukkit is working with jeb, that they could time the releases a little better x.X
Right when all the servers go 1.2.3, 1.2.4 comes out and no one can get 1.2.3....lol.
So that tree I was hiding in, isn't going to be there once I go back on is it...nope :P
Cats will now sit on chests and beds, preventing players from using them.
Added a “minimal” debug menu for testing with. It can be accessed with ⇧ Shift+F3 and is the same as the regular F3 menu, except without the graph/profiler.

Idunno why you guys figure it's piracy.Per the Terms Of Use on minecraft.net (https://www.minecraft.net/terms):
A) You bought Minecraft (right?)
B) Notch is cool (Swedish piratpartiet, etc.), and probably recognizes that (A) is a justification for downloading an old version of the .jar
The One Major Rule
Do not distribute anything we've made. This includes, but not limited to, the client or the server software for the game. This also includes modified versions of anything we've made. Also, you may not resell any gift codes or licence keys - but of course you can give gift codes as gifts. This is necessary so that we can help stop piracy and fraud - and especially users buying keys that have been fraudulently obtained.
In order to ensure integrity of the game, we need all game downloads to come from a single central source: us. We hope you understand. It's also important for us that 3rd party tools/services don't seem "too official" as we can't guarantee their quality. Make sure to read through our brand guidelines. If you wish to make something pertaining to anything we've made we're humbled, but please make sure that it can't be interpreted as being official. Do not make commercial use of anything we've made.

I saw that it was back up and running, but wasn't entirely sure if it actually was...
nope. no creative. sorry.
1.2.5 is out!
Yep, and the way it was designed, 1.2.4/5 servers and clients can talk to each other, so it's not a case of holding off on the update until the server is updated as well.1.2.5 is out!
Great....
EDIT: Not so bad, bukkit already has a RB
http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/view/01026_1.2.5-R1.0/
There seems to be something weird going on with the server at the moment. The sun is stuck in a seemingly-infinite loop just after sunrise, and changing the state of any redstone devices (even a pressure plate) will keep them stuck in the new position. Some sort of crazy time warp magicks, apparently.
Rawr server just went down, water/redstone bugs had fixed themselves before it went down though.I'd accidentally left a time-lock on from last night, quicky disabled it this morining before breakfast, I shall try restartibng the server now
K, I stole my friend's minecraft account a few months ago, so I'd love to play with you guys. I'm a little confused though; what server should I join?

Balls my base just got invaded by about 10 zombies that spawned directly inside it due to villagers.
Worse, the server is so incredibly laggy atm I can't fight them off :<
Like chunks are taking 30 seconds to load and I'm taking damage from zombies I can't see >.<
EDIT:
*looks at dynmap*
Ok which nutter explored all the way out to 13174, 804 o.=

That just sounded.....Rapey. :wtf:
Damn snow...ruins my property value.
Not really, considering the first things you see when you log into our server are not one, but two abandoned railway stations. :p
(I've talked with Kyad a bit about the need to prettify the spawn area, but I'm not really the type to plan that sort of thing out.)
I still wanna do that whole skyway rail system I mentioned a while back. :p
I still wanna do that whole skyway rail system I mentioned a while back. :p
I've seen those done several times, they're usually ugly. I considered it when I was building my rail out, but scrapped the idea.
Rawr bukkit has 1.25 recommended build out....ages ago actually o,o
Is we going to update? Since there's probs not going to be another update until 1.3 which is a while away, so this will be last update for a while.
EDIT: Updated to 1.2.5 to test out another server...and it seems I can still join the HLP server. I'm confused x.X
I've been running 1.2.5 for ages O_o
Both, as mentioned earlier in the thread, 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 play nice :PI've been running 1.2.5 for ages O_o
You are running it or the server is running it? Wouldn't have noticed an update without the 'client out of date' message x.x
Well, I began it regardless. :p It's just a hub for the time being, centered at 0,0, and located around 160y. I considered placing it way up at 250 or so, but you wouldn't be able to see the ground from that height while riding the rails. If that doesn't matter, then the rails can angle up as they depart the hub.
Loved how you completely dwarfed that guy's tower by making the rail dive into the ground right in front of it. Certainly puts his work to shame.
Tho I have to admit the view when you're travelling on it is pretty good...you just need to think harder about it's placement.
Turning my throen room into an obstacle course is funny...well, not really.
How about getting rid of all the stuff you built? I don't want to spend half an hour cleaning up your mess in my house.

****, I'm lost to this game. A friend bought me Minecraft since it was only $25 and he wanted another guy on his server. I start it up and figure I'll be bored in 10 minutes. 2 hours later I look at the clock and wonder where the hell the time went. :sigh: :(
Welcome to our hell. :D

Yeah, but the other server is my step-brother and his RL friends, and I don't have the time to waste on two servers at once. :nervous:

:\ why not work out some kind of merge with qaz's server? I realise you like your freedom but an empty server is no fun...and qaz isn't too much of a dictator :pwhy? my reasons for running my server are different from those qaz is running his. besides, it gives a smidge more choice to people as to which server they want to play on.
I was trying to show someone round the fenris today, realised i have no ****ing idea where anything is, so I'm currently rendering a load of cross sections of it so people can see how detailed the inside is.
(http://i.imgur.com/nLJmD.jpg)
Image is blurry due to blender antialiasing filtering being a dick, that and defaulting to bilinear interpolation.
there's 160 of the bastards and they're taking 2 mins each to render because I'm using ambient occlusion and like, what 4 megapixel images. I'll stick them up i either an imgur album or a zip for people to have their fun with.
*snip*
you haven't seen this one:*snip*
/me whistles
That really puts the size of the thing into perspective!
You know you play too much minecraft and freespace when you becomesexually arrousedawed into silence by seeing the inside of a fenris laid bare like that.
I was thinking of making a missile storage room for the launcher, if KyadCK will let me. I was thinking of making a little mockup of what my idea is when I have the time.
We could use some sort of elevated track/walkway on that side. Roof access so that we can see the radar dish would be kewl too.

:>Would reallyyyyyy love to have my base (-171,797) turned from swamp biome into Forest, and trashman probs wants the same for trashmania.(EDIT: See my post on May 7th)
Howevers note the bit about backing up the world first.
EDIT: Tutorial seems kinda meh...will take a look when I have time for it and see if I can transcribe the gist of it to here so you don't have to endure the average film making. Don't follow the tutorial word for word else you'll change the entire server into Forest biome.
EDITEDIT: Nvm tutorial seems clear enough actually...the text is more important than the stuff he's moving around on his tiny screen.

Imagine all the hours put into most of the things on both servers, the Fenris being a prime example.
Now imagine a Creeper spawing inside it somewhere, and someone bumping into it.

Any semi-competent player can easily avoid a creaer and stip it from blowing up..by killing it or outruning it.Unless they sneak up on you, as happened to me multiple times. :P

Then you'd have to replace another 14, then another... then the lava flowing damage, then the water damage, then some more creeper explosions
It adds up, and will eventually get annoying having to replace blocks everytime someone not in creative goes to visit it.
Or you could just not have any, and not have to worry about it. Explosions still hurt on both servers, just without the annoying hole creation

Well just light up the areas that are developed, and block off the areas that aren't. Creepers survive in sunlight but they spawn in normal mob conditions so far as I know.
Just seems a bit like cheating to me, much like creative, as I always play survival. I just wish my yogbox was less laggy and would work for more than a half hour before spazzing out with the graphics. Probably just need a better comp.
Tell ya what. You make somehting as large, good, and complex as the Fenris, then see how you feel about a creeper that can damage blocks being within even 200 meters of it.
Until you've made anything truly amazing, you have no basis to judge on. And no offence, but if you only play in survival, then odds are way against you building anything close to the level I'm talking about.

And yeah, the odds are against a person building anything close to the level of a Fenris because a person has to MINE EVERY BLOCK. Building something is a lot less challenging when the building materials can be conjured out of thin air.

(Image)I remember this. I also remember donating a significant amount of wood and charcoal to help out.
This was our first attempt at the fenris. It was made in Minecraft Beta 1.3_1. It was made in survival mode with zero assistance of any kind primarily by sara, funtapaz, trashman, myself and sandwiched. We had to mine and smelt every block. I would be equally as protective of this one as the new one.

I would be equally as protective of this one as the new one.
Yeah and so is this picture here to help justify you being a dick head? Does spending a lot of time in a video game entitle you to talk down to other people?
It may surprise you but some people enjoy games with adversity where a creeper can blow up your hard work and you need to repair it, or your thaumcraft factory starts polluting your world and turning it purple.
That's cool bro. Some of us enjoy a game where we can have fun and not grind all the time. To each their own.

What do unexpected and random events have to do with grinding? They're the very opposite of grinding as point of fact.

grinding = spending 10,000,000 hours collecting enough resources to build things
unexpected and random events = getting killed, having your progress reversed
yeah no thanks I don't want to play that game.

So placing 10,000 blocks in creative mode isn't grinding?
So placing 10,000 blocks in creative mode isn't grinding?
Nope. It isn't the same thing over and over. Things you build (hopefully) have enough design in them that you can avoid doing the same thing for more then 15 mins or so. Also, when you're done, its over, unless you screwed up you dont have to do that part again ever.
do you have a point or is "retarded" your natural state of mind?So placing 10,000 blocks in creative mode isn't grinding?

All you're doing is placing blocks, this by definition is the same thing. You decide the wall of a ship is going to be 30 high by 100 long, you spend X minutes placing 3000 blocks. You decide your hull should be double-wide. You place another 3000 blocks.
Minecraft as a "game" consists mainly of three things:
1. Mining
2. Crafting
3. Building
With the underlying elements of exploration/adventuring and creativitiy. Even if you're doing all three of those things for one express purpose, you are still doing three different things. Which is further broken up by for example exploring a cavern during mining, or building a subterranean base hub for crafting, etcetera.
If you remove 2 of those elements and focus only on the building you are by default grinding more.

dont like the fact that both admins of either servers like to protect players from that idiotic game-based griefage? find other servers. there are metric ****tons of servers out there running "untampered with", pure survival. if you want that, go play there, stop bothering us. we dont like anything that ****s around with our carefully placed virtual blocks. especially when something like Notch-induced griefage is running rampantly around.
/me glares at endermen...
Yesterday, after exploring some caves with grimper, one of his lines sparked a rather obvious idea.Mobarena. You want mobarena.
What was missing the in New TrashMania?
An Arena/Collosseum! A giant fighting pit, where the crowds will cheer as brave wariors face against eachother and summoned monsters!
grimper, what the **** is wrong with you? you come to my server, i give you permissions after confirming who you are, you start asking about why we should merge the servers, i tell you its not happening and i dont have to justify anything to you and then you ***** that i'm hostile? seriously? have fun on qaz's server. noone is dragging you over kicking and screaming nor forcing you to stay on either server.
Tell ya what. You make somehting as large, good, and complex as the Fenris, then see how you feel about a creeper that can damage blocks being within even 200 meters of it.
Until you've made anything truly amazing, you have no basis to judge on. And no offence, but if you only play in survival, then odds are way against you building anything close to the level I'm talking about.
Tell ya what, how about you try having a discussion without resorting to being an asshole.

Rawr found a way to fix the messed up biomes in the server.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRI5cyC56YI&feature=related
:>Would reallyyyyyy love to have my base (-171,797) turned from swamp biome into Forest, and trashman probs wants the same for trashmania.(EDIT: See my post on May 7th)
Howevers note the bit about backing up the world first.
EDIT: Tutorial seems kinda meh...will take a look when I have time for it and see if I can transcribe the gist of it to here so you don't have to endure the average film making. Don't follow the tutorial word for word else you'll change the entire server into Forest biome.
EDITEDIT: Nvm tutorial seems clear enough actually...the text is more important than the stuff he's moving around on his tiny screen.
Seems like someone skipped over my comment which essentially negates the point you were trying to make in a decent fashion
As for grinding more... not really
How is having everything at your disposal grinding more...
so you are just being a little douchebag then, okay, thats nice to know.grimper, what the **** is wrong with you? you come to my server, i give you permissions after confirming who you are, you start asking about why we should merge the servers, i tell you its not happening and i dont have to justify anything to you and then you ***** that i'm hostile? seriously? have fun on qaz's server. noone is dragging you over kicking and screaming nor forcing you to stay on either server.Tell ya what.

is this what minecraft is
Because you're spending your time on one activity instead of splitting it into three or more. Lack of variety, etcetera.
I would also think that people tend to create larger projects in creative, so instead of mining and building a 30x30 house, you do creative and do 100x100 mansion. And while you spend less time mining, you spend more time laying 9100 more blocks per floor.
That, and I play Minecraft because it's essentially virtual Legowith the added bonus of "never step on that ****ing brick you forgot to put back again"

Who said it's not legit?
It was CKack or whatever that said (roughly) "well since you only play survival you cannot possibly have made anything worth caring about so shut yer face" effectively. Or in other words I've been mosty defending survival, not bashing creative. So how you're getting it backwards I don't know. I don't care if people just play creative or prefer to play without creeper enviro damage, etcetera. It's not what I prefer, but I don't begrudge other people for doing so. I think it takes some of the flavour out of the game myself but to each their own. Nor would I shun playing on a server where enviro damage was disabled. Though those endermen are quite endearing. and it would sad to not see them around.
The Fenris airlock example, yeah, it's complicated. But if it's well lit, and the areas around it are well lit, then is it really in danger? Creepers can bust up your castle but if your castle is inaccesible to creepers then how's it an issue? Or the ghast fireballs, yeah they do enviro damage but if you build in the nether just use stone bricks or something that won't break. It's not difficult.

Na, I said if you actually made something as complex as the fenris, which in only survival I very much doubt, your opinion would likely not be the same. The level of dificulty in creative-mode builds is waaaay above the level of survival simply because it can be. Good interpretation though alkaline angel. FYI, you can scroll up to see names.
"Until you've made anything truly amazing, you have no basis to judge on. And no offence, but if you only play in survival, then odds are way against you building anything close to the level I'm talking about."
SO!!!!
Anybody using the Steampunk texture pack? It kicks all kinds of victorian-esque arse, does it not?
And you're wrong by the way, my opinion would not differ. I would just take greater measures to protect what was important.
As a side note. Yes. My standards are very high. Take a look at the survival Fenris vs the creative one. I can say, as a fact, that survival mode can not make anything amazing in comparison to creative.
...
And this is where I have to object. The first Fenris attempt was cut off pretty early on, so no, it wasn't much more than a shell. Do you honestly think that, had Creative mode not been made available to Survival servers, the shell would have been the extent of the project? Doubtful. As I recall, plans were already being formed for the interior sections of the ship. I'll grant that the Fenris as a whole is being finished much more quickly, since Creative mode became available to the server, but you're showing some fanboyism of your own by dismissing the project as impossible in Survival.
Let me throw in another article of consideration, while I'm posting:
How many people are actively contributing time/resources to the construction of the Fenris, now that it is primarily a Creative mode project? How many people were actively contributing time/resources to the construction of the Fenris, when it was a Survival mode project? The Survival mode Fenris was very much a community project, in which nearly everyone on the server was actively involved. Unless things have changed significantly, since the last time I logged on, the Fenris has been the baby of two or three people. One project is too small a data set to say that Creative mode can kill community projects, but it seems pretty likely that Survival mode can facilitate participation in community projects.

Um, hello? Are you me? Am I talking to myself? What I'm not, no I didn't think so. So if you're not me what gives you the idea that you have a ****ing clue what I would do?
And yes, you can call me "vanilla survival fanboy", as I go and start up my yogbox. Presumptuous moron.
As for the building process, yes, it has been primarily Kyad and myself, but that hasn't been exclusive by any means. Hades did the external hull detailing, Polpolion just made the radar deck, and if more people were around, I'd put them to work too. :p Us having creative mode has made people take the attitude of, "Well they're set for resources, so I can't be of any help", when that's far from the truth. Lately I've been pushing to get Fenris done by June 4th (1 year from the project start), and the server's been mighty lonely most times (cue Team America Kim Jong Il song). I'd love to be able to bounce ideas off people, put them to work building this section or that section... they're just not around when I am. :(
Oh yes, one more thing: If you want to see how bored I got building Fenris by myself, check out the southern 20km of the dynmap; I found the next continent and began mapping out the shores thereof. :nervous:
You two still at it?
Stop it.
Now.
Halt.
Cease and dessist.
That goes double for you Kyad. This may be your berserk bottun, but enough with the insults.
Have you forgotten when I offered to help with fenris redstoning and kyad threw a hissy fit? Take one look at my base and you see I have obviously good redstone skills...the fenris has pretty much just turned into a creatives + kyad's favourite minions work area, not a HLP project by any means.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I MUST TRAVEL TO 50KM OUT NOW IN ORDER TO BEAT THIS

I don't recall that episode; what needed redstoning at the time?
Yes. Having seen quite literally hundreds of players used to only survival be very thankfull down the line that creepers are disabled, and knowing that you play in only survival, I can make the very reasonable assumption that you have no idea what you're talking about, even about yourself. Most of those same people have made the same complaints you did before they made something that took them weeks even in creative mode. Then they sorta shut up and were glad creepers didn't totally wreck the thing they're so proud of.
Oh, and I've promoted you to Asshat Angel since you like to call names.

Call me what you like you're still a moron.
Equating they "sorta shut up" with "I sure am glad those creepers are nerfed, I agree with everything you've ever said" is erroneous. Don't project your own feelings onto others. What you assume they thought and what they actually thought are two different things. The only time I would nerf creepers for myself was if I was making an adventure map to be played by other people. Even then I would take precautions within the map to stop creepers so the mechanisms the players encounter would not get wreck during their playthrough.
Can we just, like, stop this? I don't want to put a mod-hat on, but srsly, enough is enough. Agree to disagree and drop it.Agreed.
Kyad, Akalabeth, right now I'm seeing you two being the main ones in this (going by the last page or so), with Trash... wait, is that right, Trash being a voice of reason? (musta missed some meds... :D)
(Yes Trash, I'm being a snot, don't take it seriously. Hehe)
Be warned: I logged out while still down there. :D I'm hoping to outline that continent completely, and perhaps have qaz set a "New World" warp point there or something. :p I sure as heck ain't laying down 25km of rail anytime soon. :p Tho perhaps 1km, and then have qaz duplicate it 25 times... HMMMMM!!!!
But where did you get the coconut?Kyad, Akalabeth, right now I'm seeing you two being the main ones in this (going by the last page or so), with Trash... wait, is that right, Trash being a voice of reason? (musta missed some meds... :D)

I thought that my post mentioning violation of Wheaton's Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wil_Wheaton#Wheaton.27s_law) would have been enough (and it did seem to calm things down a bit), but they seem to be coming back up again, so I'll be blunt.
If you want to have a debate on the merits of different styles of playing minecraft, I don't have a problem with it when it's civilized (and I don't think anyone else does when the conversation falls under the previously mentioned condition). What I'm seeing here (and others are complaining about) has become less than.
TOMMOEX's PSA (*probably the only PSA I'll ever do but I have reason to this time)
BIOME FILTER/CONTROLLER!
Sethbling created a filter for McEdit which allows for controlling biomes to the very coordinate (x&z)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjnGWTX35Zc
Just thought this might be useful for certain individuals especially in swamp biomes and obvious others.
*hint my swamp biome needs changing to a Jungle even though I'm not playing for another 2ish months, so I'm not high priority
I would like to thanks Adam in advance if he takes time off his revision to do this.
Oh my.Indeed
Nice thats much easier to use than the one I found. Keep bumping it so qaz sees...tired of swamp :(
There a few cool new features in the works for 1.3. Cocoa beans will finally be a renewable resource: kind of like the real thing, they grow in pods on the sides of jungle trees, which drop new beans when you break them. Also, there's a new map type called "Large Biomes," which does pretty much what it says./me prays that they dont change the map gen code once more...
/me prays that they dont change the map gen code once more...I am altering the map gen code. Pray I do not alter it any further.
Doesn't seem like it, from what I've seen. Honestly I think they'd be extremely reluctant to try that again, given that the game is technically in full-release as opposed to beta. I suspect that the concept of map types was implemented at least partly as a way around that...if they add something that requires fundamentally changing terrain generation again, they can just stick it in as an alternate type now, instead of imposing it on every previously-made map.this is mojang we are talking about. sanity and common sense need not apply :p
if/when I MCEdit the fenris lower...
...you did it? You actually did it! :eek2:Forgive me. but what, exactly, is so awe inspiring about a nether portal?
Forgive me. but what, exactly, is so awe inspiring about a nether portal?
Forgive me. but what, exactly, is so awe inspiring about a nether portal?
Last week, I decided on a whim to find out just how large the ocean south of our continent was, so I went on a flyabout. 25 kilometers later (15 miles for you Imperialists), I found one. I outlined the coast a good ways but grew bored after a while and stopped. You can see it on the dynmap... scroll waaay down.
Shortly afterwards, Hound got back on after a long absence and showed me his latest project. Suffice it to say, he'd need a LOT of netherrack for it, and claimed he'd strip the nether of netherrack. I jokingly mentioned that if he was already going to mine the nether a ton, he might as well travel to around z=3.5km and build a portal there, since that should open out on the new continent.
Apparently, he did just that. And IMHO, 3.5km in Nether terrain is pretty significant, especially when you don't have creative and (obviously) can't reset your spawn occasionally.
Idunno, maybe that he has/made a program to create one?
One other thing I should point out is that currently the only Overworld Portal with convenient access to the tunnel is in my "house."
Also for those interested, this cost me roughly 8000 points of durability. That equates out to about 32 iron picks or 6 diamond picks.
Time spent was about three-four hours.
I'm also hoping to get a nicer looking portal structure built out there before I permit access to the general public.
While we're talking Netherrail expansion, is there any way we could plop a portal near the New Trashmania area? (Obviously TM would need to indicate whereabouts he wants it, though I know there's at least one there already.) I don't necessarily mind the normal rail ride, but it'd be nice to save time if need be.
Hmm..interesting.The server seems quieter lately.
I've only run into Sandwich and Hound.
EDIT: I'd advise caution to survival peeps using the new continent rail at the moment, its currently an extremely dangerous route. Long falls + lava + fire + pigmen + ghasts blowing holes in the track. Almost lost all my gear after a long fall caused by pigmen..died 3 times trying to get it back x.x
EDIT EDIT: Highly advise bow and arrow, knocking them off the track with it while in a speeding cart is fun :>
Also bring multiple minecarts, they tend to fall off the track when you destroy them when you're fighting pigmen.

Does anyone know why sometimes the compass on the DynMap isn't orientated with North at top? Sometimes North is moved to the 1:30 (NE) position and everything gets rotated. Not sure if I'm doing it by accident or if it's put that way by an administrator or something.

Isometric View. Also known as high-detail mode. Usually selected from the bar on the right.
I dont' recall there's a portal in New TrashMania. Not aht it's stricly necessary, since I have a warp and 2 rails.Is that a public warp? And if so, share the goods, since every combination I tried the other day failed. :p
If I were to build a portal, I'd probably place in near the mage tower..or in it..or in the tower's garden.
I don't know if anyone bothered to look ath the cave view in dymap, but the number of tunnels we have dug is staggering. They're going everywhere.
Uh, I don't know if you realize but the dynmap also shows natural caverns (kinda cheatery if you ask me) as well as Abandoned Railways. So many of those tunnels visible are probably not player-made.

Player-made railways are distinct and easily recognizable.
How does a guy get to the nether? Are there portals near the spawn, because if there are I can't see any signs for 'em. Trash said something about a portal at his place but after walking around there for 10 minutes I didn't find one. (You'd think it would be in the wizards tower but guess not ;) )

There actually is one, right up on the hilltop above spawn (look up in the sky; it's directly beneath the skyway hub).
OMGENDERCHESTS.
What the hell is a gender chest? Is it a chest with gender? How does a chest have gender? Why would you make a chest with gender?
Don't suppose we could get a co-admin for the server...like sammich or someone. We're getting increased incidents of griefing and theres no one around to stop it or reverse the damage >.<
what the **** you doing breaking into my tower grimper.
what the **** you doing breaking into my tower grimper.
If it's your tower why did it have a sign on it saying that you disapprove of it's architectural style and risks a ban for the owner, and locking the front door on it to annoy said owner >.>
In this case though it's quite obvious whoever made it quit, coz if they had come back they would have made a new entrance into their home since qaz locked the main one. Plus that tower is the only entrance to the underwater domes, which used to be public domain since it had it's own rail station and everything..which is gone now since the rail system has been re-organized a couple of times.
As long as nothing is broken and the hole in the wall/house/tower is fixed, no harm done.
Lord knows I broke trough plenty of houses jsst so I don't have to go around. Of course, no one ever noticed anything since I plugged the holes up.
I don't get mad when people break into my places. I kind of expect it. I just get annoyed when they grief.
....
1: The tower is qaz's.
2: He locked it.
3: You're a dumbass. Why the hell would you go around breaking someone else's stuff? Used to be public and isn't anymore? Well then too bad. It's qaz's to fix, if he even wants to, not yours.
Be glad qaz is such a laid back guy, because if this was any other server I've seen you would have been banned already.

No need to be rude, you should know by now it just starts a **** fight that ends up with me laughing and you sulking. If the tower is actually qaz's then yeh I apologize, but all the signs pointed to it belonging to someone else that had quit. There was *literally* a sign.
Also let's keep things in perspective. I broke a total of 4 blocks, but our resident griefer has burned down 4+ *buildings* and I don't see anyone getting super pissed over that.
You two should just drop it. If qaz feels the need to take action, he will. There really is no need to uhm... "debate" the issue.
So is anyone gonna mind if I put a pressure plate and TNT block under my "front door"?

Your house ain't it? Although that sounds like unwanted property damage to me.
*Recalls the tweets from dinnerbone, the tripwires he's coding in, and shudders at the potential*
I really don't care about prespective. The other guy was a random griefer. You should know better. Good to see your true colors show you don't give two ****s about other people things, or you never would have touched it to begin with, especialy when you didn't even know who's it was. Shame on you.
Jesus.....it's just a few minecraft blocks.

Ikr, poor kyad gets so butthurt whenever someone around him steps a toe out of his perfect ordered world :(
As long as we're jumping on tiny acts of public property damage/intrusion, let me compile a list:
- JC regularly explores buildings around spawn and such, bypassing their locked doors as well
- Hojo has expanded his underground pit into sara's tunnel entrance
- Mongoose broke a whopping 2 blocks to get down to the old blocked off mob grinder under fenris when it still existed
- Sandwich has made his skyrail dive into the ground *directly* in front of someone's tower, completely blocking their view, not to mention the other privacy issues with it (not that I really have a problem with it anymore, but I'm sure you do)
- Topaz has been demolishing parts of the plugin rail system that rhyx put down
- Rhyx has been blocking entrance to perfectly functional public rail stations that he didn't build
- Sandwich and 2 others who I forget griefed trashman's palace by placing a trap + insults in there
- Someone else (don't know who) put up another insult in giant glowstone letters next to his boat
I could add more but I'm sure that list has you foaming at the mouth already, so I'll leave you free to go jump on those people.
He sees em griefin', he hatin'
Betting JC actually replaces said things. If not, shame on him,
Don't know hojo.
Mongoose has express permission from myself to do whatever to the grinder. He asked to see it so he could study it.
Not modifying their build
Don't know topaz
Rhx blocked access to broken and unused railstations. I already gave him crap for this.
No one has touched Trash's place to my knowledge, most don't even know how to get there.

Not to nitpick, but neither did my old wall in old TrashMania...still didn't stop it from beign torn down from blocking someones view. Double standards?
Let's be honest here...
Also you completely ignored the fact that it's still not proven the tower even belongs to qaz...and from the looks of it it doesn't unless qaz annexed it after the other guy quit or something.
what the **** you doing breaking into my tower grimper.
I love these little banters

Shoo! Go molest sammich or get the other guy's name from trashman.
Sure, no problem. We're too busy laughing at you in IRC anyway. :lol:

The fact you're getting mad over 4 blocks that arn't even yours seems funnier to me xD
"how badly will kyad overreact to 1 sentence next?" xD
I'm not even trying and still getting full paragraph rants.
EDIT: Nice ninja edit. I kinda liked the "grimper should be in jail in rl for breaking blocks thing" tho :(
I like it how one guy is mad that another guy went into some other guy's tower that may or may not have originally belonged to another guy.
yeah, it's always been my tower. I very rarely tell people what I don't like being built, and I'm not going to publicly humiliate them by putting a sign on their creations.

Awesome thanks qaz ^^you do realise he doesn't know he's an admin yet?
Now we can hopefully get those biome changes done...but griefer damage in trashmania 1 def needs to be fixed first. Also mura, biome change stuff is from this post if you can possibly spare a bit of time to help us out :)

Wish list so far is:
- Changing my base from swamp to forest (base centered @ -171, 796 and all contained within the round stone wall)
- Changing trashmania 2 from tundra to forest I presume (all snow in the area of 1100, 1264)
- Changing tommo's base from swamp to jungle (the treehouse and surrounds @ 984, -41, note the glass and water thing is someone elses base, so change the swamp there to forest I guess)
- Changing fenris from swamp to forest (check with kyad to confirm, but I presume he wants it fixed)
- JC wants something as well...need to find his post
I think that's everyone...if not they can post.
uh, thanks for admin-ship... changes? that's... gonna have to wait until i am not too nervous to touch stuff without breaking the server
Also, this was the only way he'd let me go out drinking and share a hotel room with his wife.

It's a matter of if those chunks of the world are loaded or not... if you or some other player is in the vicinity, then those chunks will be loaded and time will pass there. Otherwise, nada.
I believe a chunk is 16 blocks wide and deep, but everything from bedrock to sky in terms of height? I could be wrong though, don't quote me on that. (Someone's going to quote this post now, aren't they?)

Basically what's the point of doing anything like, making a big crop if it doesn't grow while you're not around?
Alternatively, you could set up a pen, then ask sammich for some mooshrooms, which are an unlimited and instant source of mushroom stew.Or he could set out on a quest to recover some from the mushroom island.
Yeah, why can you carry 2304 m^3 (!!!) of stone (!!!!!) but only 36 bowls of soup?

if you can cram 2304 m^3 of stone into your... wherever... you should be able to cram near 2304 m^3 of soup in there too.
not to mention the fact that if you can't fashion some sort of leak-proof container that's smaller than 1 m^3 then you are a bad person

I'll take an unbreaking III over an efficiency V. At least you get ~4x as many uses for it.But combine the two type of enchants... and you get something very special.

Finally bothered with an enchanting table today. My first whack at enchanting was with a diamond sword, which got Sharpness III and the ever-hilarious Knockback II. If you made any bets, contingent on, "When Creepers fly," then now is the time to pay your dues. I am wandering my SSP world at night for the funsies now.
Mura is on even less than you are qaz. Bad choice for a OP, as he's never there..
Mayhaps you should give sandwich OP powers, he seems to be on frequently enough?
I just saw the server message, THANKS QAZ!
Also, the shadow has grown...
Curious thing I noticed, I accidently got into a fight with an Endermen and hit /home to teleport back to my base (which wasn't far off) and the guy teleported after me and murdered me hahah. Probably old news for everyone, but I wonder how far those guys can teleport.
Incidentally how does a person lock a chest and/or a door? I noticed that some doors have player specific locks on them, but not sure how to do this myself. Or does one need admin priviledges?

Also, wai no one sign to thank qaz :(
Ugh I posted it coz it's been many many pages since anyone bothered to thank qaz, not out of any sense of "guilt", specially since it was proven there were signs, and I'm not the only person around here asking for fixes *points at trash*
But whatevs I can remove that part easily enough and you can show your appreciation; or look ungrateful up to you xD
Nvm screw it just removing the whole thing.
And you're not asking for fixes, you're asking for changes. There's a difference. If you wanted your base in a jungle biome, or a tundra, or a forest, or a plains biome you should've built it there in the first place in my opinion....except his home originally was in a forest, but when the biome code changed with the 1.0 release, it mostly turned to swamp.

Actually you cant test that. Go to the edge of the snow biome, press f3, and see if it's tundra or ice plains or something. If it isn't and there's snow there anyway, then it was deliberately placed (and you will be able to dig it up without it coming back)

I don't mind melon as food, it's plentiful. The only problem is that it takes a little too long to eat your way back up to full food.With regards to all this melon-hate: I find that melon is a sub-optimal but acceptable primary food source. That said, I tend to keep melon around to quickly "top off" my hunger gauge without having to waste some extra nutrition. Bread, meat, and 'shroom stew are probably still the best primary foods.

Just rebuild it.

Easier said than done....
Sometimes, depending on the server setup, rebuilding before a mod/admin sees the damage is worse. Besides seeing the evidence, rebuilding can muddle any tracking logs that might be in place.Just rebuild it.
Easier said than done....
Naturally. But if you can rebuild something over two evenings for example, makes sense to just do it instead of waiting 3 weeks for an admin to show up. Or just knock it down and put a bigger, better building in its place. Though if you're not going to be on the server then there's no problem in waiting. Does anyone know who these griefers are in terms of aliases? I see a bunch of different people on but I don't know who's a legitimate player and who's a douchebag.
Or does minecraft have the capability to protect servers via password? That would prevent unknown players from logging on.There are password plugins available for bukkit servers, and there is a whitelist function in both bukkit and vanilla.

Back when Minecraft used its original world file format, there were rampant issues with chunks saving incorrectly and getting regenerated, the next time a player came though. Perhaps there's a similar issue with the current save format that just doesn't crop up, until you've got a massive world. If it continues to be an issue, I'd recommend pruning unused areas from the world save and/or putting a moratorium on lengthy, exploratory expeditions.
Minecraft 1.3 Info + Snapshot w27
by Jens Bergensten on July 5, 2012
This week Dinnerbone (Nathan Adams) has arrived to the Mojang office in Stockholm. He’ll be working full-time on Minecraft here, and has already got a flying start! We managed to do a lot of fixing and tweaking for this week’s snapshot, and have finally decided to lock down on a proper release date for Minecraft 1.3: August 1, 2012.
A week prior to releasing, we’ll post a “release candidate” that is likely to be identical to the actual release. This version is intended to give server admins and modders a little more time to prepare for the new Minecraft version.
Minecraft 1.3 consists of a huge number of changes, and some of them are changes to the fundamental game engine. The most dramatic change is that we’ve kicked out single-player, and made it a shell on top of multi-player. There are two major benefits to this: first, it’s required for the modding api if we don’t want to have multiple implementations of every mod, and second, if we fix a bug in single-player, we know the bug is fixed in multi-player, too. Previously we had to fix bugs both in relation to single-player and multi-player.
Here’s a compact list of what the update will bring…
Minecraft 1.3: The Good
Lots and lots of bug fixes and new features. Players who mainly play in multi-player on servers should enjoy a smoother and more stable experience, as this has been our focus of the development. We’ve looked over the network packets and added encryption to prevent session stealing. Dinnerbone has updated the chatting screen, to allow for easier editing and clickable links.
The single/multi-player merge has added the possibility to share your single-player worlds with friends who are on the same local network. It has also enabled players to use multi-player-like commands in single-player (such as /gamemode and /give), but only if cheats are enabled.
We’ve added emeralds, emerald ore and a trading system that makes it possible to buy items from villagers. Villagers will add and remove items depending on what you buy.
We’ve added the possibility write in books and leave stories for other people.
We’ve added new terrain features, and you can choose to begin the game with a “bonus chest,” to get you started quicker.
We’ve added tripwire, so you can create new traps and contraptions.
We’ve also added new stairs, new half-slabs, cocoa plants and tweaked dispensers, leaves, cauldrons, levers, gravel, pressure plates, cookies, buckets, boats, minecarts, ice, furnaces… Plus you get magic orbs from mining and smelting (and not just killing monsters)!
Minecraft 1.3: The Bad
Since single-player has been turned into a shell on top of a background server, the game’s resource requirements have increased. When playing single-player, the game needs to be able to both simulate and emulate the world, which take many more CPU cycles. We’re working on optimizing rendering, but those improvements will not be included until Minecraft 1.4.
Minecraft 1.3: The Ugly
A couple of problems and expected features have been pushed to Minecraft 1.4. The most notable problem is the lighting issues causing black regions in the terrain. We’re looking into ways to solve this, but lighting is a very expensive calculation and we are struggling with finding a solution that doesn’t hurt framerate.
And the most notable missing feature is the modding API. Throwing out single-player was the first step in order to make the API possible, and that’s done now. We decided to release 1.3 without the API, because otherwise it would be an even longer wait for a Minecraft update.
We’ve also added an extremely basic version of “adventure mode.” We’ll work more on this in future updates.
To Summarize
The time between Minecraft 1.2.5 and 1.3 has been the longest update interval yet, and that was because we changed so much in the game engine. I (jeb_) was a little scared to push it to the public, but waiting even longer is not a solution.
If you want to get the whole Minecraft 1.3 change log, I suggest you read redstonehelper’s great summary here: http://www.reddit.com/r/edstonehelper/comments/p6lol/planned_for_the_next_update/
Snapshot 12w27a
Bug fixes!
Optimizations!
Please check your piston contraptions. Most we’ve tested still work fine, but some require changes to repeater delays and similar. Overall, pistons should have fewer bugs, but will appear to update slightly slower.

Those 1.3 changes look somewhat interesting. Wonder what they mean by "tweak boats". Does this mean they don't explode so readily anymore?
I haven't been an admin on HLP since HLP's beginning, only sometime before September 2002. :nervous: Anyway, is it a technical possibility to export the Fenris to the End before it's been reached via stronghold portal? :-/
Might be an idea for Kyad and I to get on the new map to set some initial things up before it's made public. I'm thinking (especially if there's no warps) that outlines of a rail system would be good to have in place before things start getting built, as would a welcome center at spawn.
Here's a thought: I don't know the specifics in terms of what mods were used, but I've been on servers that essentially have multiple "worlds" on them, in the same way that the Nether and End are treated as separate world maps from the basic overworld. A setup like that would give the fresh new map, but also enable people in the midst of projects on the old map to continue on. Is that within the realm of possibility?

I'll give it a quick test

Alright, found a nice little plugin and have done all the necessary research on my server for it

Basically, once a world is created, anyone can teleport to it at will using the plugin command (there's a ingame help page for everything as well)
I think what butter_pat_head is on about is having having a structure like a nether or end portal that the player can just stand in for a couple of seconds and the script kicks in to move you to the alt world
That's what the Multiverse Portals plugin does for you

That's why I said "more Mania", as it will drive you insane as you try to rebuild. It would be one hell of a comunity project though, imagine the size of the quarry for the wall!
What I'm saying is that it could be a community project. A bit like the fenris, only not so intimidatingly immense.But why would anyone wanna do that?

I wouldn't call New Trashmania a community project. Tommo, Corpsepuppet and DJ built a house there and leant a hand occasionaly, but that's about it.
Speaking of which, qaz you might want to trim the world a bit before you pack it - remove the explored areas to keep the world size down.

So that we don't have to just up and go off on our own. And if making a medival town doesn't float your cubic boat, we could always try building HLP Station.
All cool with me qazwsx, 3 question for the time beingThere will be a spawn town, my current plan is for a week after 1.3 is released, me, Kyad and sandwich will build a spawn town and generally set up configurations and plugins on a whitelisted server running on a seperate machine (if interested, I still own the old hosting, it'll be running off that, unusable for anything really, but alright just for basic permission testing). During this time the current server will run as normal, if there's a reccomended build for 1.3 that pops up, I'll upgrade, but don't expect anything really.
1. will you be building a "spawn town" in the reserved space?
2. will you be marking the edge of the protected space so we can find it easily?
3. will home warps still be available even if "landmark" warp locations are not?
So, one relevant question might be . . though people will want to distance themselves from other builds, does Qaz have any sort of exploration restrictions? I know there were some concerns about exploration last time with regards to the map getting too big and the server suffering as a result of it.

Without creative just build something smaller, more detailed and intricate. Larger projects tend to have the problem of not getting finished (of which trashmania's skeletal wall may be an indication). Instead of being the God Emperor in your kingdom be the Dark Wizard in your stronghold. Or maybe the God Emperor in Exile in an alien land.I also agree with this post completely, giant expansive walls have caused nothing but trouble and wasted space. If you've got grand ideas, flesh out what you have first, a half-built intricate city is far more interesting that a fully enclosed giant flat plane. The appeal of Minecraft is creativity, building the same thing again and again is no fun. Playing survival to get to the end isn't what people do it for, it's the act of having to get blocks that gives most players time to think about what they're building. I've spent many an evening starting a creative project with a group of mates, only to realise mid-build "this looks like ass" because we haven't thought it through properly before starting. I'd go so far as to say that all my survival builds end up looking better, more detailed and well thought out than my creative builds.
I would agree with spoon though that I don't really see the need for people to recreate older projects. The whole server is a community project essentially, and everyone adds to it. If two or more people want to combine their resources to build a joint project that's cool though.

New Trashmania would hardly be impossible, if you spent less time waiting for me to turn up so that I could do a bit of worldediting and spent more time actually building or gathering resources, you could easily have built new trashmania in survival.

Yeah, possible. IF I devote my life to it.
QuoteYeah, possible. IF I devote my life to it.
The next time you think about logging onto the forum to whine about how Qaz isn't running the server the way you want him to, pop onto the server and do some mining/building with that time, instead. You'll accomplish more than you expect.
Also, what a dick move, trying to lecture Qaz about the difficulty of balancing life and Minecraft, considering that you spent the better part of a month *****ing about how he wasn't responding to your request for creative mode fast enough, because he was dealing with real life obligations.
The issue with multiworld setups is that they're a pain the ass to get working, use large amounts of resources and generally make it harder to configure any plugin so that it works across multiple worlds. This means that I don't plan on setting it up.Well ****. :(
IMHO a read only world is in order since keeping the old world on the server totally defeats the purpose of trying to make a clean slate.

If Sandwich and Kyad are willing to give it a shot, what's the harm in letting people build where they want to?

If multiverse is possible then would we be able to move our stored materials from the old world to the new one? At least let us move a single chest of stuff into the new world pleeeease. :D

I was making and posting screenshots of our server on Minecraft forums and I ran into more greifing. Someone burt down the wooden house at spawn.
B.t.w - the screenshots generates some interest. I'm starting to get PM's askig me for the server IP. I gave it to two people with a good posting history/rep.

The griefing happened BEFORE I told anyone. So don't blame me for brining in the griefers.

Well, I can't really play right now even if I wanted to. I'm out of town and my mom's comp here is, subpar. I was trying to harvest wheat and it would take 3-4 seconds for the particles to fall and disappear. :P
But wow, I played 140 hours? I only just joined the thing.
Not sure about JC but I suspect much of Grimp's play time is him sitting idle and farming mobs.
not to mention have qaz or rhx said you can advertise the server? even to the "select" few you have
I think Grimper's officially the mad wizard of crazy redstone contraptions. That iron golem farm he set up still gets me.
I'm pretty sure there was an occasion earlier in this thread where I've said I don't want it advertised publically or the IP given out (I'd find it, but looking through over 3500 posts? No thanks). Also there's a difference between friends and a couple of people off the minecraft forums. The main issue lies in sorting out greifing and server messages. If you've got a close friend, you can tell them what's going on, but trying to communicate and giving complete strangers a voice in how the server is being run is bloody difficult, especially when they're not on a central forum or thread like this one. And yes, I could post a link to this thread in the MOTD, but how many people do you really expect will read it or make an account to report griefing? Hell, tommoex usually talks to me over facebook when he needs any griefing sorted out. The point being, you're the one who is going to have to keep them udated when it comes to server news, and if you can't do that regularly (over what, minecraft forums PMs?), then why the hell are you advertising it?not to mention have qaz or rhx said you can advertise the server? even to the "select" few you have
I was't aware it was forbiden to talk about it.
Oh wait - it isn't.
Don't tell me people aren't allowed to bring in friends to have a look around?
Am I the only one here, or did anyone else just have a deja vu moment?
Am I the only one here, or did anyone else just have a deja vu moment?
Nope. Same discussion was had round about this time last year (I think).
Minecraft itself would be a good start... actually that's all you really need.and to pay 20€ or however much the game costs these days.
I presume the reason for the reset at 1.3 is to take advantage of the new features 1.3 is giving us right? And the biggest advantage bar none is that most single player mods will be going multi. There's not much point in starting a completely new world if we're not going to take advantage of this, since all the new terrain stuff we can just get by exploring further out in the old map (plus the old terrain is *way* better than post 1.8 terrain)
I'm sorry, how did this go from Qaz saying pure survival to a bunch of expectant-sounding talk about which mods should be added to the server in 1.3?? I musta missed the segue... :doubt:
But as I said already, the Modding API has been pushed back to 1.4 so the entire discussion's moot.The modding api just makes mods easier to make and more compatible with each other. It has nothing to do with SP mods going SMP, that's happening because SP as we know it will no longer exist, forcing all mods to go SMP whether they like it or not.
For mods I've always liked some of the ones they put in the yogsbox, specifically Mo Creatures, Millenaire, Thaumcraft2 and Better Dungeons.Yogbox is in the same vein as the technic pack, too big and laggy for a server. The others are good, though thaumcraft might come under the title of technical mod..need to look that one up.
I'm sorry, how did this go from Qaz saying pure survival to a bunch of expectant-sounding talk about which mods should be added to the server in 1.3?? I musta missed the segue... :doubt:"Pure survival" doesn't mean no mods, it just means no one will be in creative. As for why mods are a good idea...well think about it. You spend many hours painstakingly making constructions in a vanilla server, then the server resets and is vanilla again. You've lost months worth of work for what....new terrain that's ugly and adds nothing to gameplay? Why would anyone bother to keep playing if that was the only change? You've seen the number of people in this thread very unhappy about the reset...adding mods would soften the blow.
Wait a minute, what's so overpowered about RedPower? The benefits far outweigh any kind of "balance" issues it might have, considering you get microblocks and a far better redstone wiring system. Frames are also nifty.Redpower is overpowered because of computers and a bunch of other things, not to mention computers don't fit with vanilla MC at all. How exactly does steve go from wooden tools to computers in the span of 1 game? x.X
if qaz and the rest of the admins are anything like me they'll tell you that only bukkit mods are appropriate reccomendations, as any other mod requires everyone else connecting to modify their minecraft jar. yes, the infamous magic launcher takes out a lot of pain of that stuff out, but its still there.And yeh the bigger mods will all require jar modding, that's why it's best to keep the number small. If we do go with mods I can bundle them all together into 1 easy to install package with a simple walkthrough. It will get easier once the mod api comes out, as that will introduce a new feature where the server can download and install mods for you to match what the server is running.
And I like the sound of Better than Wolves, though I'm not sure it would fit with the server.It really depends on what the server theme is. If it's a futuristic theme to match FS2, then yeh Better Than Wolves won't fit. But any theme that is before modern times it will fit with perfectly, where as the other tech mods won't.

The other problem with redpower is lag, since everything is tile entities, not to mention gigantic moving platform factories. Not gonna work on a server.
Anyway that's the technical reasons, but the personal gripe I have against redpower is that it makes redstoning too easy...takes all the challenge out of it.
Default redstone takes an absurd amount of space; even a 4-button door password takes a small warehouse to hold.
Qaz may not want to set it up, but Kyad and myself may just be ignorant enough to give it a try... if Qaz isn't outright opposed, that is. ;) In other words, if Qaz's opposition to it is having to do it himself, we might give it a try and see how it goes. OTOH, if Qaz doesn't like the idea in general, well... it's still his server.

*whole lot of advice*
if qaz and the rest of the admins are anything like me they'll tell you that only bukkit mods are appropriate reccomendations, as any other mod requires everyone else connecting to modify their minecraft jar. yes, the infamous magic launcher takes out a lot of pain of that stuff out, but its still there.
Hmm, I'd actually be willing to consider a terrain generation adjustment mod. Qaz, Kyad, what do you guys think?
and what do you expect apart from griefing by drawing atttention to the server?
For mods I've always liked some of the ones they put in the yogsbox, specifically Mo Creatures, Millenaire, Thaumcraft2 and Better Dungeons.Yogbox is in the same vein as the technic pack, too big and laggy for a server. The others are good, though thaumcraft might come under the title of technical mod..need to look that one up.

I wasn't advocating using the yogbox, just saying that I enjoy some of the mods from there. Though, my own computer can't handle yogbox so on second thought it's probably best that they're not included.
If I were to advocate any of them I'd say better dungeons. Which would add more adventuring for those who enjoy that sort of thing.
mods that require that any client-side modification be installed will not happen. No matter how cool they may be. I am not interested in making a mandatory modpack.
Also, it isn't bukkit, so it can go die in a fire. If something nice can be found on bukkit dev then it would be cool.
a 4 button password door.... i'll hate you for all eternity if anyone ever does that...Block-based security doesn't really work in Minecraft, since even obsidian blocks can be bypassed by hand with enough patience. That said, I *did* make a secure and lava-trapped vault using 4x button memory cells and floorplate state data. Largely for the hell of it, since the monstrosity used about 7-8 full stacks of Redstone. Don't think I'll do so again; circuits aren't that hard, but digging out space and making them work is a rancid bastard of a task.
From above:mods that require that any client-side modification be installed will not happen. No matter how cool they may be. I am not interested in making a mandatory modpack.

Yeah no worries, I replied before I'd read the whole thread. I dunno what bukkit is and what isn't but either way I'm happy with vanilla survival. There's SP for mods if I want it. (unless 1.3 broke it or something)
This is a minecraft thread, I feel like you're asking the impossible from them.Ikr, every time I type out a long well-reasoned argument, I get a 1 sentence response often with swear words in it xD
I'm sti lsad no one at all is on. Kinda makes sense. After all, what's the point of starting OR finishing anything anymore?
Well that's part of the reason I'm suggesting mods...I have a feeling that attitude is going to stay if there's not something new to look forward to, which would mean the server completely dying >.<
I probably should've mentioned this before, but before we start messing around with new terrain generator mods I think we should at least give 1.3's terrain gen a try...
Well that's part of the reason I'm suggesting mods...I have a feeling that attitude is going to stay if there's not something new to look forward to, which would mean the server completely dying >.<
If that attitude were prevalent in all participating players that might be a possibility, but some such as myself have said we don't mind the restart and will play regardless so that's not really the case. Further if I'm not mistaken you were hoping for mod integration since before the reset announcement so you likely would have brought up this issue irrespective of anyone's sentiments.
Also, it doesn't have to be prevalent in all. It's enough that half the palyers loose interest, and the server will already feel like a ghost town.

wut? while i have only skimmed most of the needy emo crap brought up about the map restart, this first I have heard of players not playing after the map restart just because it being restart.
btw Qaz, any ideas on what seed you will be using?

I probably should've mentioned this before, but before we start messing around with new terrain generator mods I think we should at least give 1.3's terrain gen a try...
It's changed very little since 1.8, the biomes are exactly the same with the only new additions being cocoa trees in jungles, 2 extra dungeon types, and slightly different NPC village design. So in other words...it still sucks.
EDIT: Oh and there's a "large biome" option on world creation now. Same crappy biomes, but wayyy bigger (ocean = pain)
Well that's part of the reason I'm suggesting mods...I have a feeling that attitude is going to stay if there's not something new to look forward to, which would mean the server completely dying >.<

I guess it depends on the amount of work invested.
If you only built a single house, ti's no big loss.

Well I invested 139 hours, which is four hours less than you btw, and for me it's no big loss.
As long as I enjoyed the time I spent playing that's all that really matters. If I wanted to build something to last I'd built it in the real world, not in minecraft.
Just so you're aware, all this complaining and moaning isn't improving my opinion of you, and I'm not changing my decision.

A cookie to anyone who makes their first home an underwater mud hut directly below the spawn location, instead of ragequitting or trying to swim off to land.

Trying to swim to land, only to find out Qaz put a max setting on his map! You'll never get to land! It's just five blocks past the barrier!Quit giving them ideas. :P
Swap the water for LAVA!! No, wait. Creepers!
Have us spawn in an ocean of creepers.

And you could have spent 138 of those hours just frolicking around. Not really getting invested in anything you built.
Number of hours is irrelevant. What you actually did is.
And honestly, now that I think about it I can't recall any building of yours.
Considering I mined and chopped and smelted and crafted every block of every building I built while you and others used creative I don't think you have any standing to question whether or not I was "invested" in what I built.Uh I personally did everything in survival, as did JC (mostly, he cheated a little but meh) and mongoose. Between us there's a hell of a lot of work all going down the drain now.

C'mon guys, this thread has been a constant battleground. Can't we all just pass the peace pipe and face the fact that there's going to be a new world, and everyone's cubic e-penis is getting sent back to "Fetus".

So did I for all of Old TrashMania and large parts of the new one
And relax. I wasn't implying you didn't build anything - I just said I don't know nor can I ID any of your buildings. No one mentioned your stuff when I came on and I must have missed it...it's a big server and I can only connect some bigger and more impressive buildings with names.
In lighter news, someone build this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDcYnAzwV0E). Now. Because it won't work in 1.3.
It won't? Why so
(I think I missed something about this update)
Forgive me I thought your tone was a bit more hostile.
Don't worry, I don't expect you to have seen any of my buildings. No one has seen them except me. Though I'll post some screens once I can upload the jpegs somewhere. Can't connect with my webpage ftp right now for some reasons.

No, I havn't been on. Any specific reason I should have?
I've been checking dynmap multiple times a day to see if anyone was on tough.
And you disspoint me qaz.
But do you care about my oppinion of you? Evidently not. Yet if I say the same I'm suddenly a bad guy...
You can't even take a simple comment and it's already "whining" and "complaining".
:doubt:
He sees him bannin', he hatin'
admin tells you they are doing things a certain way and that will be the case even after you have made your objections and you carry on, then yes that is whining
Matt, if you're not even playing the game, why are you in here making random comments again?Cause the whole subboard is named "Off-topic discussion".

They're not helping.Matt, if you're not even playing the game, why are you in here making random comments again?Cause the whole subboard is named "Off-topic discussion".

very neat Akalabeth. seeing as how the servers going down in a week can you post coordinates so I can check it out?

Yeah, one thing I will say that as a new player to the server Trashman was welcoming and gave me some free gear + so forth. He also seems to be one of the more active players. So maybe the ban will in time prove instead to be a temporary suspension? :)

Moderation decisions that do not concern you should not be discussed publicly such as in this place, you can appeal to moderators in PM's but that doesn't mean you'll be heard. Admin decisions are final (changed without notice).

I'll have to be blunt then, the admin doesn't like the banned person, the person has brought strife and drama to the server in multiple times, maybe the admin has also some part to blame, as you need two to tango, but it boils down to someone having power and someone who doesn't.
Admin gets tired of person, bans him out of his server, he reserves the right to deny anyone of a service in his server, and he has enforced this right. I am sorry you've lost someone you've hold in esteem (whoever this applies to), but this is how it is, and I am going to side with the supreme general emperor qazwsx on this.
I'll try, what time?Now that I think about it, I won't be on much tomorrow, but kyad and mura should be on in the evening.
Jesus christ guys, give it a rest.
mura's right, I banned trash because I find him annoying, the constant requests for me to worldedit stuff were part of the reason I stopped going on my own server. Complaining repeatedly about my decisions after I've made it clear I'm not reversing them also contributed to it. Also, please trash, try to maintain some dignity and stop flailing about with the "see how you like it when it happens to you!" posts and other related attempts at weaseling out of the ban by arguing until I get fed up and unban you, because it's not going to happen.
What about that T-Tower?
If I were you qaz, I'd be worried about my own dignity because you came off as nothing more than a big fat dickasaurus.
What about it? It was built on a small island in the middle of the sea.
Yeah, I haven't been on 'cause I'm waiting for the reset. I'm going to start off small since I don't play all that much. I'll be happy with a nice cosy house to start with. Maybe underground. With a fireplace.
I guess we'll go back to doing the sandstone manor, maybe this time we will finish the towers before going underground... also, we had a really big courtyard, so keeping it lit without looking dumb was HARD, and torches look ugly, any ideas on lightning? glowstone or lampstones?
Thanks vague enough to work...

I hopped onto Pece's the other day to take a look around, but unfortunately I didn't run into anyone at the time.well, there isnt a lot of us on, at most times.
And 1.3(.1) is owt! I'd assume those still active in MP should hold off for the time being, as per usual.
I couldn't remember if 1.3 was the version that would see full integration of the Bukkit system, but I guess that comes with 1.4.
that remains to be seen. honestly... i doubt it.I couldn't remember if 1.3 was the version that would see full integration of the Bukkit system, but I guess that comes with 1.4.

Nice screenshots. Server looks almost thematic. Will have to take a look around.
what's the IP?

the ip has been around on the first page for almost a year now. or more.
I still see nothing.
Just the dynmap link
And while we're on the subject what's "mumble"?
From what I understand, Mojang hired the guys in charge of Bukkit, so the modding API will pretty much be Bukkit.I couldn't remember if 1.3 was the version that would see full integration of the Bukkit system, but I guess that comes with 1.4.
1.4 adds the modding API, not necessarily any integration with bukkit. Looking at "upcoming features (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Upcoming_features)" also says nothing about it.
So like, how does one connect to Pecinek's server? I threw the http address into minecraft but it couldn't find it so I'm presuming that "http://minecraft.egzodus.com/" is not what you punch into the minecraft client.The server might have been down when you tried it, because that address works just fine for me.

oh for ****s sake. you put in minecraft.egzodus.com in minecraft as the server address. unless my internet randomly crapped out during the night, it wasnt down.
its one of the things you'd expect not to have a problem with on a site like this.
By the way Pec, did you disable the party ability for MCMMO? I was trying to muck about with that, but nothing happened. Not even a "don't have permission to do that" appeared. Just straight up squatyup. its kinda totally and utterly useless on our server.

I'm running 1.31 now, so no visting the server for now....FYI, the digiex launcher has a jar downloader built-in, lets you grab earlier versions of the .jar and pick which one to run when you log-in.
And while we're on the subject what's "mumble"?
Ah. That would do it
Was trying to see if I could get the tping aspect of it to work

It's been around for some time, so Mojang apparently doesn't have any issue with it being able to do this, otherwise they would have shut it down a while ago, I'm sure.
While Sandwich might have been a bit more blunt about it (which is what I want to respond with many times as well, no offense intended towards anyone), he is correct. :)And while we're on the subject what's "mumble"?
This is how the tech savvy figure this stuff out: http://bit.ly/txlbDu

For reference, I submit the following XKCD comic, which is very accurate:

Uhh...strangely enough I can't get on Peceni's server. Apparenlty I've been banned from it even tough I've never been on it before....
no. its simple. he is not welcome on my server. if he did not figure it out over the past 2 pages, not my problem.Uhh...strangely enough I can't get on Peceni's server. Apparenlty I've been banned from it even tough I've never been on it before....

Why does this thread feel like Romper room lately
So on the new server, are there any requirements or guidelines for staking out territory? Besides the obvious of "don't get in anybody's way with your stuff".
I'm planning on setting up a sort of "nature preserve" somewhere which wouldn't have construction setting it off as occupied. Fence? Wall? Signs? Armed park rangers?

The thing with Minecraft is that you have the usual issues that tend to crop up whenever you have the same group of people playing an online game for a while, compounded with the fact that Minecraft is a creative endeavor, with inherent potential for stepping on each other's toes. If people who feel strongly about what they're creating wind up in some sort of disagreement, tempers can flare in a hurry.
playing Minecraft together is bad for my marriage

Important information about this first Recommended Build following a Minecraft update:
The first Recommended Build, as always, is a slightly more polished development build that we're promoting to a Recommended Build so that people who rely on a Recommended Build being available can try out our development builds and decide if they want to use them.
Rereading start of thread. Even more depressed about map reset. :(
In lighter news, instead of using the easy (cheating) way to get villagers to an old beta NPC village on my SP map, I instead built a rail line that has to be pushing 2 km. Yes, I'm that stupid. Especially since there was a closer new village that probably would have required far less rail.
Also I'm experiencing an incredibly annoying issue where my character intermittently gets stuck moving in a certain direction. I think the game's lagging for a moment just as I push a certain key, and then acting like that key is being continually pressed.

I know the feels, happens to me all the time.
[SNIP]Install Optifine, it has an option called "Smooth Input" that prevents "stuck keys" which seems to fit the description of your issue, it has never happened to me before, tho, so I dunno... Also it has a ton of other goodies and it's been reported to DOUBLE the framerate on some systems. Linkage to the mod (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/249637-131-optifine-hd-b1-fps-boost-hd-textures-aa-af-and-much-more/) Also, it eliminates the need to patch if you are using an HD texture pack and can change textures on the fly (tho, i think that was later added to minecraft, not sure since i've been using it for so long)

I hate lava.love hate here, love the challenge of working near it without using water on it. Hate loosing my kit if I fall in it.
What's so bad about lava? It just kinda sits there passively. If you fall in it, it's either because you derped up, failed to exercise caution in regards to mobs, derped hard with your lava bucket, or fell to a devious trap set up by another player or modmaker.dont mind them too much, unnerfed creepers on the other hand
Skeletons on the other hand, I HATE those.
Creepers can't be avoided if they suddenly drop right behind you and explode. :p
I think I need to get all Jamie Hynemann on my transplanted villagers. "Screw, damn you!"
Creepers can't be avoided if they suddenly drop right behind you and explode. :p
Again, situational awareness does you no good if the damn thing only starts hissing audibly as it explodes. There's always going to be some raised passageway in a cave that you don't notice, and sometimes you pay the price. Or there could be other factors: I've been playing a bit of the 360 version with my brother, and because the thing's HDMI cable is on the fritz, we get no sound from the console. Not so good for avoiding the green guys. :p
As I said, I've had occasions where I literally didn't hear the hiss until the thing was falling right next to me and a half-second from exploding. It usually isn't fatal, since I'm never without armor, but it still scares the hell out of me.
As far as skeletons go, unless I'm completely unarmored, I don't see them as more than a general annoyance.
Ghasts trump all those mobs. Those damn bastards.
Especially when you don't have a bow and you're lagging a bit.
Yup, it's to do with the network connection Hamachi set up, I've taken it down for now, wasn't intending to use Hamachi full-time anyway, it was just a quick way of testing a few things :)
Should be back up in a couple of days. not that anyone's mentioned the server's offline :P
did you update to 1.3?Should be back up in a couple of days. not that anyone's mentioned the server's offline :P
I noticed but didn't care too much. Everytime I tried to login when it was, I'd just get java errors

i think you'd have better luck just forwarding port 25565 , make a temporary dyndns hostname and call it a day.
its how i've been running my server for a long time now. + a lovely CNAME redirect to have a nice address for the server instead of <blah>.dydns.org :p

In my case, it's not so much which mob I have to worry about so much as how the custom mapmaker uses them. Stuff like blaze spawners placed beneath lava, ceiling spawners that drop creepers on your head, silverfish blocks keeping tunneling from being an option...
did you update to 1.3?
have you folks had problems actually connecting to my server recently?
Nobody cares that you're a custom map person. Your experience in them has no application as the other person in the argument (hell, how it started to begin with) was in relation to normal, survival maps.

That was a little caustic, don't you think?
Re-download/Install this. (http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=65693)did you update to 1.3?I did after I started experiencing the errors.
you are apologising to the wrong guy, for the record.

You're absolutely right
It was a tad overboard, but you seemed to be inclined to repeat yourself about custom maps over and over and over again. Most people would have got it the first time, and the few that were left the second.

Heh, just wanted to see if the server would run ok with a few plugins, but before I get permissions set up and anti-griefing stuff installed, I was going to run it under Hamachi. It set up a new Network connection, but I think I botched it by closing the setup page by accident :)
Edit : I've tried creating a new zone via an uninstall/reinstall :
Name : Flipzone-1
PWord : hlp
IP : 5.111.182.61
Ghasts trump all those mobs. Those damn bastards.
Especially when you don't have a bow and you're lagging a bit.
Anti-ghast fortifications can be built if you bring cobblestone with you. Cobblestone is cheap, and immune to ghast fireballs. Ghasts also have limited spawn conditions - they can only spawn in a 4x4 area or larger within the Nether. Adjust your construction practices accordingly if you choose to build something within the Nether.
Also, you can deflect Ghast fireballs by hitting them! However, this works both ways - a ghast fireball might deflect your arrow.
Server is up and whitelisted for the next few days while we finish off getting the configs working.

Problem is, because I go through a router, I have two IP addresses, the one given by IPConfig and the one registered by sites like whatismyipaddress.com. I can start a server on the Network IP address, but not on the one assigned to me by the router, and FreeDNS doesn't seem to want anything to do with my Network address :(Nope. Internal private IP range vs public IP. You generally don't want to assign the MC server any IP in it's config, let it bind to whatever addresses happen to be on the host machine.
Sweet
Wait, still using the 1.2.5 build or the 1.3 polished dev build?
Actually it's turned out pretty nice. Wait until you see it first hand.Sweet

Dynmap is up and showing a new landmass...so I presume 1.3
R.I.P old server :(
EDIT: And from the looks of it it's the same terribad terrain as 1.8-1.3
Couldn't find a decent terrain generator? :<
Actually it's turned out pretty nice. Wait until you see it first hand.
Bare, treeless "mountain" biomes, swamps within sight of basically anywhere, hilly plains with very little tall grass, no inland beaches, and mish-mash biomes with jungle bordering desert bordering snow bordering swamp. The only biomes that 1.3 does well is jungle, forest and ice....but only ice is big enough to be able to build in without having the other crappy biomes within visual distance, and forest and jungle are too dense to build right in the middle of without extensive landscaping.
That's a good idea, but in this case all we need is a mod with just 1 single base class edit that will make the terrain infinitely more interesting.
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/827699-mountain-generator-minecraft-125/page__st__80
Problem is mods like that need a little more time to update and the server is already being built on (terrain mods need a fresh reset to look good)...so you would need to convince qaz to delay.
What's the current status of the old world?Backed up and ready to set up a torrent, still trying to figure out best way of doing so though.
Do I need to request whitelisting on the new server, or will I have to wait till it goes public?It will go public very soon.
Just out of curiosity, roughly how large is the data for the old Gargamel?What's the current status of the old world?Backed up and ready to set up a torrent, still trying to figure out best way of doing so though.

While we're on the subject, was anyone still thinking about possibly hosting the old map for nostalgia's sake, even on an intermittent basis? I might be interested in giving it a shot myself, if I can pick Flipside's brain and pore over his trials over the past week.
Damnit sandwich that was meant to be a surprise :P , getting the configs sorted for that is whats taking us so long.Just out of curiosity, roughly how large is the data for the old Gargamel?

I think we're still hoping to have the old map available via portal in read-only mode or something. Not sure what the latest is in that regard though.
Once again, that is not bukkit compatable, and as such will never be used. If you are unwilling to look on bukkitdev to find things that can be used, then kindly stop begging for things that won't happen.

Bukkit modifies every single base class?
Also, "begging?"
All my ideas have been posted as suggestions.
Told no by you not by qaz, and I can ignore you since you don't run the server.
Alright, so here's what's happening.
New world once 1.3 comes out.
This world will be completely fresh, here's what's going to happen.
- Fenris will be copied over and placed in the end
- Everyone will be in survival mode, admins and mods will be free to change, but we shall no longer be giving out creative, the disparity has gotten rediculous
- I will be offering admin rights to sandwich and Kyad, sandwich has been a HLP admin since the beginning (I think?)and has been one of the most active people on the server and Kyad already admins a much larger OCN server and knows what he's doing.
- these admin rights will include full control over the server, the right to install plugins, restart the server and FTP access and whatnot.
- I will not be looking for replacement admins if Kyad or sandwich feel that they don't have the time or otherwise do not accept the position
- All current admins will remain admins, yes, I was trolling with the "mura is now an admin!" thing, but he's a cool dude and actually will get all the powers. (and the getting drunk with his wife in a hotel room thing was true too)
- We may or may not be using warp plugins, this is yet to be decided.
- I will not be copying over any other projects from the old server, Fenris is a special case, as it has been in construction for over a year, and has had work done to it by many, many members of the server.
- What I will be doing is setting up a full copy, config files and all of the current server as a torrent. My VPS (currently hosting mumble) will be used as a seedbox. Direct downloads are out of the question, as the server totals several gigabytes.
- If anyone wants to host the old world, feel free, the torrent will be a fully working copy of the server bar except for a working mysql configuration for logblock, as this will be used on the new world.
- The new server will also come with slightly stricter rules which will be detailed in the following list.
New Rules
- Don't be a dick (this applies to admins too, post in here if any **** goes down, I won't have discussions in private, things should be run openly)
- Check with whoever is building nearby if it's okay to build near them, either on this thread or in game. (Looking at you Trashman, don't want any of that **** again) ):<
- as an addition to this rule, if you don't want anyone building nearby, ask an admin about setting up a worldguard region.
- Unless specified, (aka, freebuild areas) PLEASE keep to the building style of nearby things. If you don't like the style, find somewhere else to build, you've got enough room. This was actually a rule on the original server, back in the days when it was hosted in a shoebox underneath rhx123's bed. (I'm not even joking, it was on a Intel Atom running windows XP with 512MB of ram and an ADSL internet connection) but pretty much went to **** straight away and that's how we ended up with the hodgepodge that is spawntown
- Spawn will have a worldguard region, players will have to build further out
Any questions? I shall also be amending the original post

Hmms will chests and mob farms still work in the old read-only world? Hostile mobs don't matter so much if you wanna disable those, but would be nice if I could still make use of my iron golem and breeding farms. And access to our chests will allow us to rebuild without having to go completely back to the stone age.Inventories would be separate between worlds.

Carefull Grimp. Your comments must only be positive.Stop it.

Aw damn :(
Ah well still good to have the old map so I can expand on the old designs at least.

Read-only.
Just suck it up and play survival the way it was meant to be played.What's wrong with creating farms? You're still using in-game resources and mechanics in order to obtain other resources, but you're doing so via more efficient means. I don't think I've found anyone out there who really wants to wander around for hours hunting down creepers in order to get a stack of gunpowder. :p
trashman pls go
I have a better idea. When TrashMan ****s up the thread, we blow up one of the things he's built on the server. This allows us to create an enviroment where we do not reach this point.
In fact, I fully support this for everyone. Anytime someone gets obsessive/cranky/annoying, we blow up something that belongs to them on the server. This will prevent people from becoming to obsessive over their creations, and will also provide incentive to avoid being a dick. :pimp:
Why not set up your IP via freedns, forward your ports and use that?
I have one running right now, as a matter of fact (a tekkit server)
mienkraft.drreading.us if you want to go take a look, is not much and might be laggy cuz my upload isn't the greatest, tho...

@Deathfun, I think your Minecraft probably got confused because I'm playing Tekkit through a server running on the same port ;) For some reason, not even Yoko can connect to that one though :/
Read-only.
Just as a quick aside, if I could get it working, who would be interested in a Tekkit server via Hamachi? (probably, since it's the only way that I can find that works for this setup).
Tekkit allows pipelines/quarries, and lots of other technology, but at the price of being a little behind the curve with standard MC updates, and, being a player-created collection of plugins, is probably also less stable than common-garden Minecraft.
The downside to Tekkit is that you would need to download a special MC Loader based on Spoutcraft, so it's a bit of a job to start with, so I'd like to get a general sounding before I try :)
Read-only.
I know...I mean copying the designs into the new world and expanding on them there.
You do realise how tekkit started right? The technic pack is a rip off of every single good mod out there, taken, modified and ripped apart without the permission of the mod authors. Any mod author that complains about it gets their thread set upon by the legions of drooling, toothless tekkit fans until it's locked by a moderator. Not surprising considering that the technic pack was born in the SomethingAwful forums, which is either the scummiest or the second scummiest forum behind 4chan depending on who you ask.

To be honest, I got interested watching a youTube video for it and thought it looked fun. With regards to the source, as a consumer I'm thoroughly enjoying playing it, and that is the end-case scenario. Considering that Minecraft itself is a rip off of every good mod out there, simply expanding on those design principles is not something I can feel overly outraged about.

Banning prospective players before they've ever logged on probably doesn't help your user count.

Seriously, guys, quit the bull**** back-and-forth. It's beyond old.
Honestly, just speaking personally, I think it's not at all fair to ban TrashMan from the server(s) based mostly on prior behavior here on the forums, especially when that banning was performed preemptively. Putting his forum past aside, in all my dealings with TM on the server, I never found him to be anything but agreeable and helpful; I know I'm not the only one who feels that way, either. Qaz, I'm sorry if you felt overly pressured by the requests that TM made; I can't say that I ever saw him get overly-demanding myself, at least not in front of me. Like, I don't care whether or not you get along with him on a personal level, but basing admin decisions on what happened in the past here, as opposed to how he acted on the server itself, seems like a raw deal.
That's my piece, anyway. As always, I'm not the one calling the shots, so take it for what it's worth.
The reason why he was ban is because of the stuff he was doing on other server despite the fact that admins and others ware asking him not to do that.
You don't likie me and don't want me? Fine. You don't have to like me and you don't have to let me in. We're not required to be buddies.
But when you start making up s*** about me then we will have a problem.
