Pred, if you can get the chance, please move that chest you left at the station in the northlands. You can just move it upstairs or something. I'm extending the rail further northward and your chest is blocking one of paths.

[Pred the Penguin]

It's locked isn't it? Maybe qaz could remove it? I haven't had time to play MC in a long time...

[pecenipicek]

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,

Oh sure, just after I start getting into 1.8

Villagers 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 just pissed myself laughing.

I've been considering joining this minecraft server but unfortunately with a new update just around each and every single corner I find myself hard-pressed to decide.

What's worse is at the moment they all look like Bert in various colored straightjackets.

All we need are ernies.

I saw a mod to remove the humongous nose and give them heads and faces similar in style to that of the player character, that is, a block for a head with some face (different faces for different people).

[Commander Zane]

Yeah I commented on that thread giving props to the OP, they look a lot better without the nose.

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)?

[deathfun]

Well I know why I hold out on legit multiplayer
I'm cheap that way and don't purchase unfinished products

[qazwsx]

Server updated to 1.8.x

[achtung]

Extended my rail line today. It now extends much further north.

Inside joke. Qaz and RHX are very busy and sacrifice time to get 1.8 up. Then suddenly 1.9 is near. meaning eventually updates again costing more precious time. Quite a few players loved to adventure and 1.8 breaks the boredom of routine a little.

[watsisname]

Finally got off my ass and built something in minecraft.
Impossible floating fortresses are fun.




Now I just need to make one BIGGER

[-Sara-]

Love how that moon alligns in the picture, watsisname. Gives me an idea. If they ever make a realistic sun and shadows I'm so building a stonehenge or sunclock.

[deathfun]

Something myself and my myte cooked up a while ago. I forgot all about this world file

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.

Reason behind all the weird loot like Ender Pearls, Ghast Tears, Nether Wart, Blaze Rods etc is probably explained by: Potions! - The art of alchemy. Interesting!
