Aaah, I've passed that thing a lot while searching for my bloody cabin, but always thought it was a marker to your land Spike

Anyways, looked pretty cool when I passed it for the first time and saw the sun rise.

Ah. Yeah I found the nearby tunnel too. There was iron down in it.

It's lost part of it's excitement now that I know it's man made

.

MC should randomly make things like this. Like decayed houses and such.

That would be kind of cool, kind of give you the idea of another civilization before you

Anyone else having trouble connecting to Minecraft.net? I cant play online atm

Of course I'd end up running into my own wall on accident.

That's partially my reason for not making a cactus wall. That and the fact I've yet to see a single cactus... (damn snowy map)

Notch has said before and in the livestream video I posted last night that there will be villages with possibly friendly NPCs living there.

Once again, minecraft.net is more popular than the poor old server can keep up with, so we’re upgrading. I’m not quite sure how long it will take to get done as it’s mostly Tobias doing the work (thank you, sir!). We’ve got a huge amazon cloud server which we’re moving the main server to. We’ll be able to replicate this as demand grows, and we’ll have a load balancer set up in front of it all. Skin downloads will almost certainly be migrated to S3 downloads instead of going through resin as it does now, and we’ll have a separate server just to handle game logins and auth requests.

In other news, we spent the day today out of the office in various cafés, as the floor was getting fixed. And we got the Machinima.com IGA awards! They’re pretty!

If you want to see some pics from the office and Mojang in general, Carl has a photo album here. It gets updated every now and then.

For Minecraft development, we’re working on the new file format, and a new game launcher. The file format is still in early testing, but it’s looking somewhat promising, except for it taking up a bit too much space. It’s faster, though.
The new Launcher will be a bit prettier, will show release notes and other news, will send login requests over https (finally), and will ask if the user wants to update to the latest version or not. In the future, we’ll add support for playing the previous installed version (after warning the player that there might be unexpected bugs) and the ability to choose what work directly to save the level files, but that’s not coming in this version.

We’ve got a meeting planned for tomorrow with some community members to discuss how to best implement the modding.

At least this'll give Arc a chance to cartograph the current map...

Krauter · 01-18-11, 01:44 PM

Would it be possible to enable the player account now? I tried logging in (playing MC offline) but it said I was banned from the server :s

Nagy · 01-18-11, 01:51 PM

He could but as soon as somebody else has that idea you'll be forced off in favour of them...

Best just to go cold turkey and wait it out.

Krauter · 01-18-11, 02:19 PM

Aah, I thought from the way he explained it that the server creates new ids ie: Player 1; Player 2; etc as new ppl join. Thanks anyways

I'm not sure but I could be responsible. Might have done that during 'The Extended Journeys Of Crécy 'The Lost One' '

Oberon · 01-18-11, 02:54 PM

There's always one.

Hopefully Notch's new launcher will integrate improvements between client and server relations...aka...STOP THE BLOODY LAG!!
