The Hood has lost it's decking, and I suspect the tube line won't reach Mkeab again. Certainly all the work I did on a new tube line from Mkeab's is gone.

Merdé

EDIT: Yeah, the line between Gerekes and mkeabs is gone. I can put it back though, it's not a major problem.

The Hood...well...I think I'm going to admit defeat on that one. It's not a project I think I can do justice to, to be honest.

[Dowly]

Anyone know if it's possible (and if so, how?) to downgrade to the 'free
weekend' era version of the game? Think it was alpha 1.2 or something. :hmmm:

It had that "something" the newer versions seem to lack. :yep:

Notch challenges Bethesda to a duel!

Clever move. Makes Notch look light-hearted towards these things (which I'm
sure he is) and if Bethesda declines/ignores (which I'm sure they will) the challenge,
it makes them look like dicks in the eyes of gamers (not that they aren't bit of
a dicks already). :hmmm:

[Arclight]

Appropriate response to such a ridiculous lawsuit I'd say. :haha:

I understand they need to defend their trademarks, but 'Scrolls' vs 'The elder scrolls'? Bit of a stretch imho. :hmmm:


Comes in at the same level of ridiculous as that Tim Langdell fellow and his suing and trademarking practices.

Simon and Lewis take a look at the new airship (zeppelin) mod by Blakmajik!

Zeppelin is a mod you can use to fly ships around in the Minecraft world. It is
not limited to the world grid, but can move freely in space. Go check it out at:

Etho's Light Sensor Tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVWndB7k4bQ

This tutorial demonstrates and teaches you how to build a Light Sensor. This
can be used to detect day and night cycles as a redstone signal.

The Light Sensor is built from 3 main components. A piston is used to control
killing grass during the night, and growing grass during the day. A redstone
BUD Switch is used to detect grass growing and dying. A T-FlipFlop memory
unit keeps track of the day and night cycle.

If it rains during the day, the Light Sensor will still detect it as being day,
despite the darker conditions.

Impressive. :yeah:

I must admit I've kinda lost enthusiasm now that a month's worth or work has been unravelled. I'd been very busy in that month, and with the prospect on 1.8 in another month, I'm not sure I want to spend the time just getting back to where I was for it to all end again.

Maybe we could have a new map for a month, we could focus on only making a community project near to the op-only area and just mess about for a bit.

I gotta second this I must admit.

It would be nice to have a central community project like City 19 instead of everyone suddenly disappearing to the far flung corners of the map. :yep:

[Arclight]

Myeah it bit me as well. Spend a ton of time getting a fancy door working (bloody pistons) and that's a reset as well.

I think we're all waiting for that update to hit anyway. :hmmm:


Give it a bit and see which way we go this weekend? :06:

[Dowly]

Mmm... got bored with the SMP, now playing solely SSP for the time being.
Need to see how 1.8 is and whether I return to SMP or not.

Started with the Better than Wolves mod, which I have to say, was a disappointing.
Takes too much time and effort to make the things and on top of that, you can
run most of the machines manually with the crank, so there's really no need
for the windmill or the waterwheel.

-------------

Last week, installed the 1.0 YogBox finally and a lesser man would break down
and cry at this point looking back it's pure awesomeness. :wah: It's best described as Minecraft's The Grey Wolves. :yeah:

The adventure bit of the game has seen huge chances with the YB. Now,
you actually have proper underground ruins with staircases, corridors, halls, hidden passages etc.
And those things just go on and on for miles. (little tidying and you got yourself
an underground base. :yep:) The treasures are actual something to look for
now, the best ones I've found have contained 1-2 diamonds blocks, iron blocks
gold blocks etc.

The RPG mod balances the treasures out, as you need to level up your crafting
to be able to use the spoils (think it's lvl30 for diamond tools). Also, the RPG
system gives you perks when you hit certain levels, f.e. reaching lvl25 in
mining gives you a 2% chance to get 2 blocks when mining something.

New mobs of course, most seen are the elemental Creepers, f.e. fire creeper
lights it's surroundings on fire when it explodes.

New items and ores are very welcome and there's tons of them, all more or
less useful to something.

What else... well the game is a tad scary again, with only 5 hearts to start
with, you need to move pretty darn carefully (and jump and scream like a
little girl when you hear skeleton firing an arrow from somewhere :haha:).

Then there's this SOMETHING I encountered when returning to my mining
hub from a dungeon, on the other side of the room I saw that white sparkly
effect you see when mob dies, was a bit baffled by it, but thought it was a
bug or something. Continued to walk forward and out of nowhere this THING
came right next to me and let out a screeching scream (think witch from L4D),
killing me instantly (was down to 1 heart, tho). It was at the edge of the
screen and it happened so fast, that I couldn't get a good look at it, but it
gave me a pretty good jump. :O:

[Krauter]

YB is probably the most kickass mod compilation on MC I've yet played. Really nice to hear you're enjoying it Dowly. Do you know how the mob killed you? Did it just bump into you like a skelly or zombie? Or did it go kaboom?

And also that's really sad to hear that Better Then Wolves isn't as good as you thought it would be. I'm kind of hoping that since the Yogscast showcased the mod on YT that they'll get permission to add it to the YogBox. That, to me, would make MC amazing.

I have no idea, I died instantly due to low health. Did some digging and the mob
was most probably a "Screamer", green armored dude that can turn invisible.

I'd welcome it too, but on it's own, it just doesn't feel necessary. I mean,
90% of the stuff you get with BtW is there just to automate something you
can do manually. And considering the work involved in building an windmill,
it just isn't worth it. I liked the light/lamp blocks, tho. :yep:

Hey Arc, just wondering whether you've received my PMs or not. Let me know and I'll PM you on Steam or Skype

[Arclight]

Ya, sorry, let's give it a go shall we? In fact I'll reset the bans alltogether, might mean a bit more work for me and possibly some ops but we're well equipped to identify and solve any problems at this point, so if pardoning someone turns out to be a bad idea we'll know soon enough.

1.8 Beta preview at PAX (whatever it is):

(Bad quality because it is a stream from Notch's phonecam)

http://nl.twitch.tv/sournothardcore/b/293575755

[Krauter]

Pretty cool, I logged into the SMP server with the Yogbox compilation installed on my game of MC and I had the minimap that's included in the mod.

Pretty cool!

[Arclight]

Right, so reset the thing tomorrow then? :06:

The fact nobody seems to have an opinion either way is a bit worrying.

[Oberon]

I did say I supported the idea of a reset, obviously the old map will be kept for prosperity, da?

[Arclight]

Obviously. ;)

Nah I was refering to the people other than the ones that proposed the idea. Apart from you and Keab and the ferret bailing alltogether I've not seen any input on the matter.

[Krauter]

I kind of agree that a map reset would be worthwhile. Maybe we can do a community project of some sort as Oberon suggested.

[Crécy]

Maybe we can do a community project of some sort as Oberon suggested.

Jawohl, I second that. Although I'm not sure do I come back before 1.8. But somekind of a community project might draw me back before 1.8...

[Pisces]

I probably won't be online either in subsim world any time soon, so build whatever you like. I also feel like doing the dance again from scratch. 1.8 is as good a time as any.

I just took my last peek in the world. It didn't seem to loose anything I build last time. I guess that says how long ago the last time was. :oops:

[Arclight]

Alrighty, I'll reset it shortly. I'll leave the mobs off for a while to get a safe zone going around spawn.

[Nagy]

Earliest possible release date for 1.8 is the 8th.

I also saw reference to a food bar...

@jeb on twitter seems to have all the answers at the moment.

[Arclight]

That he does, he's always sneaking in screenies and such with reveals. He posted the new icons and terrain so modders can work them in already.

[Krauter]

So 1.8 is due on the 8th of September? Sorry I haven't kept up with Notch's and Jeb's twitter updates.

[Crécy]

So 1.8 is due on the 8th of September? Sorry I haven't kept up with Notch's and Jeb's twitter updates.

As Nagy pointed out, it's the earliest possible release date. So might get delayed.

[Dowly]

And that'd be the part 1 of the 1.8. IIRC, Notch said in the video where he
showcased 1.8, that it will probably be released in two parts.

[Krauter]

Aah ok, I was more concerned whether it was the 8th of September or October, like I said, haven't been reading the Twitter updates.

Also, I did hear that earlier Dowly. Something that the basics were going to be released in 1.8 and then the entire adventure patch thing, would be released in pt II.

One thing that is sort of starting to bother me, as some have stated in the MC forums, is that, after looking at all the amazing mind-blowing mods (f. ex.: those that Dowly posts :yeah: ), I have to wonder at how Notch and an entire team of developers has only come up with what we have to date. And mind you, I don't want to appear ungrateful to his work and everything, I love MC as it is and I'll probably keep playing this game til my computer won't run it anymore, but it's just something that I had read earlier and only really thought about til now.

[Dowly]

Re: Mojang "vs" mods

Just mentioned to Crécy today that Notch and co. have a lot to do, if they want
to top what we have now with mods. The YogBox being a prime example.
It's just so darn good and already has many of the features that 1.8 is expected
to have that I'm not really all that excited over the new patch. The changes
to the world generator are probably my most anticipated feature. :hmmm:

[Kapitän Schneider]

new generation

The 1.8 Celebration Towers/Entertainments are loaded and wired. They're just missing vital components to prevent accidental detonation.

I've been told it would be insensitive to set them off on Sunday though, so you guys will need to pick a date when we can al watch and record.

Sunday would work for me.

Actually, it isn't. :O:

This is the one I'm using:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/513093-wip-dokucraft-the-saga-continues-32x/

You need either the HD Patcher or the optifine mod (I'd recommend Optifine).

Basicly, every texturepack works with YogBox.

[NeonSamurai]

I don't see why.

Exploding towers, and 9/11... that's why

[Crécy]

Actually, it isn't. :O:


Ah, didn't notice your textures were different from mine.

Exploding towers, and 9/11... that's why

Frankly, that has nothing to do with minecraft or the political correctness of exploding stuff in minecraft on that date...

Can't imagine what 1.8 + Yogbox is going to be like.

But I'm going to hazard a guess and saying updating all of the mods included in the compilation and releasing it is going to take a little while..

[Spike88]

Endermen are not as creepy as originally thought.

[Arclight]

Since you have the means to kill them. ;)

Imagine Minecraft without weapons. Would be terrifying.

[Spike88]

Since you have the means to kill them. ;)

Imagine Minecraft without weapons. Would be terrifying.



First one I encountered fell to it death, second one was blown up by a creeper. I have yet to kill one myself. :haha:

[Arclight]

Fair enough. :haha:

It's usually when the creepiness is "dispelled" though; as soon as you realise they're not that hard to kill, they don't pose as much of a threat. Amnesia doesn't have combat for that reason: since your only options are to run and hide, people react far more fearfull to the creature prowling about.

[Dowly]

BTW, JSGME works like a charm if you want to keep your 1.7.3 and easily switch
around between it and 1.8 :up:

1. Install JSGME and have it make a shortcut to your desktop
2. Go to the properties of the shortcut and change the "start in" line to point
to the directory .minecraft is in (WinXP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data)
3. Run JSGME once so it creates the MODS folder to the above directory
4. Make new folders to the MODS folder for the versions you want, f.e. I have "Stock 1.7.3", "1.7.3 YogBox" and "Pre-1.8" folders
5. Make a clean install of your MC
6. Copy the clean 1.7.3 .minecraft folder to the "Stock 1.7.3" one in MODS folder
7. Add whatever mod you want to the original .minecraft, then copy it to a new folder in MODS
8. Make clean install, add another mod, copy it again to a new folder in MODS
9. Repeat for as many mods you want
10. Delete the original .minecraft folder (to make sure no files are left behind that might mess something up)
11. Enable version of your choosing via JSGME and play.

I hope that was as confusing as possible. :O:

Sorry I missed it, needed a little mid-course correction burn for my sleeping pattern.


What do we want to do with the server now? There's a possible release today of 1.8, at least an update for pre-release. Let the overlap world run for a bit longer, or go with 1.8?

We'll probably need a new world again with 1.9, so any new world at this point will just be another stopgap really. :hmmmm:

[Dowly]

I'd say wait for 1.8, just to be sure all the chunk related features are fully incorporated
before we make a new world.

Think 1.9 might be another large update, so it might take some time to be released. :hmmm:

Yeah, I'm with Dowly. The pre-1.8 is still quite buggy so it's best to wait until the official release. :yep:

Now, who is going to help me pave the cavern and start an underground city?

1.8 Pre-Release version 2 now available:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/611324-regarding-18-pre-release-version-2-released/

[Oberon]

Note to all:

I've kinda claimed the cavern we created last night for a project, it's going to be an underground city in the framework of the picture I posted in my last post in this thread. Feel free to join in but please keep to the theme of Victorian England.

Thanks :rock:

[Task Force]

I say we update to 1.8, but do a just for fun world like this one till 1.9.

[Arclight]

Yeah, but gonna wait till it's actually released then. Running a pre-release version of a beta... myeah.

[Dowly]

So, creative mode for 1.8?

[Arclight]

If that's possible, or else abuse code like a boss.

[Task Force]

Yay for spawning!

[Dowly]

Yay :shifty:

[Arclight]

Indeed. That killed my renewed interest rather fast. :lol:

Ironically I'm averse to anything that's free... or "free" (http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/06/10), as is more common. :hmmm:

[Dowly]

Here's a compromise: If creative mode is available, balls to it. Just enable spawning.
That way those who want to play it the old fashion way, can do so. :yep:

[Kapitän Schneider]

Here's one of the videos you've all been waiting for. Be thankfull for it. My PC's Hard Drive took a big hit and I hate to think how much Porn we accidentally wiped off of Arc's computer. :arrgh!:

We just uploaded Minecraft 1.8, but minecraft.net isn't up right now because of web ops stuff.

Gets my vote. :up:

[Crécy]

Mine as well :up:.

[Oberon]

And me. Shame I can't do more to the underground cavern...but who knows, with the new map generating system, might just find one. :yeah:

[Arclight]

Right I'll switch it over wee bit later if you don't mind. Give it another 2-3 hours or so. I mean most of the time he has 1 or 2 hotfixes out by the end of a release day, so I'd rather wait it out a little.

[Task Force]

I say we do survival With spawning, reason being is that I would like to actually finish a project, As i have never have had the time to Mine, and work on a project. Hence why my project in City 19 was never complete as i never had the materials to do it.

If you dont like spawning you dont have to use it. you can mine just like normal. Some things (like my nether temple) would have never been completed without spawning, as i use hundreds of gold blocks, and glowstone.

Well, no, sorry. I know if I allow spawning most will use it, and that simply makes it completely uninteresting for the minority that don't use it. :-?

My idea always was to host a survival server. The whole creative thing right now is really just to give people an oportunity to experiment and just go bonkers for a bit, it was never intended as a new "standard".

[Task Force]

Nice 2nd part zirran.

Ok, so i have one more explosion planned before we end the server... testing something ive been working on. should prove interesting (or fail horribly.)

I think we'll be needing a map of some sort to begin with, because AFAIK I'm far away from where most everyone is (on top of a huge mountain surrounded by a pine forest).

All in all though, 1.8 looks sweet to me :D

[Dowly]

I shall hereby claim the island(s) at ~x=2281/z=411 and the immediate surrounding
water (need to wait for map to see how much water I need).

The Yogscast - 1.8 Released! Babby's First Enderman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwUPTA-mawY

Simon starts up the official 1.8 release for the first time,
finds a crevice with a mine in it right next to his spawn,
finds an Enderman hiding in there and hits the big red button marked RECORD.

[Crécy]

A prime example of how horrendous landscapes 1.8 brought.

* it does look gorgeous though, doesn't it? More "featured" landscapes.

btw aparently all the sheep hang around villages. Couldn't find one sheep anywhere untill I stumbled across that village, at which point I collected more wool than in the previous maps combined. Absolutely teaming.

[Oberon]

I do believe that that is me directly north of you Arc. Although I'll have to log in in a bit and gather my surroundings a bit more.

What a beautiful map though, easily the best one yet. :yep:

[Arclight]

I was thinking... 1.9 forces a reset again, prolly new ores; I could try using the seed of this map and theoretically it should come out the same. Just don't know if the new ores would spawn. :hmmm:

*never gonna work I guess; snow biomes back so the generation engine will have changed.

[Dowly]

Think I read from somewhere that Nether is going to get a big update in 1.9 too,
so hopefully it'll take them some time to finish it.

As for sheep, I saw plenty of them all the time. :hmmm:

[Oberon]

Ok, I've got the following people logged, not sure who owns the dirt house with only three walls, just be warned that apparently (according to Zirran last night) Zombies can now punch through dirt walls.

Easier to build big project on water, no need to level ground. ;)

Yeah, found 2 abandoned mines so far in our SMP world. The first I kinda
fell into, big crack on the surface that dropped me all the way to lvl12, luckily
there was some water to soften the landing. The second one is right under my
island, which sucks because I very much would've liked to make a normal mine
there to gather all the stone I'm going to need.

EDIT: Uh... was in the abandoned mines under my island, logged off to answer
the phone. Logged back in and was spawned in the water by my island. :doh:

p.s. which reminds me, when is that Ray Mears dude back on the BBC!?!

[danlisa]

It's true, there is an over abundance of forests in 1.8.1, mostly completely decked out with vines but, do what I do, travel away from the forest to the nearest biome. You then have plenty of room and enough wood to last you a loooooong time.

I do think the trees have been 'overdone' a little but, like I said, there's away around it.

BTW, for the record, what's up with the enormo-trees? You know the ones that are so huge you can't reach the last wood block without a makeshift scaffold? Annoying much?

[Spike88]

I'm in the forest west of Oberon, you can see my shack from his floating island. My shack is the most eastern part of my village, which I will be expanding west ward.


Obe, if you had already claimed this forest, I apologize and will promptly move else where.

[Dowly]

After spending rather large amount of time down in the abandoned mines under
my place, I have come to the conclusion that the thing never ends. So far, I've
found total of 15-18 chests, countless number of spider spawners, few small
cave systems, yet the place just keeps on going. I dig out some gravel and
uncover another shaft, follow it and it branches to 2 more which branches to
2 more and on and on.

To put it in another perspective: I've so far covered 3-4 times the area I covered in
the biggest buried ruins system I found in YogBox. :dead:

[Krauter]

:haha: Why is it Dowly always manages to be so far from where the main group is settled?

One thing, are we going to be doing something akin to a community project? I am willing to start making roads to link the settlements that we currently have.

OK, Hunger is a great idea, but fack it's a pain in the rear when first starting. by the time I get back to my mountain I'm down to the last 1/3 of my hunger... and then either Creepers or hunger gets me. Punching grass for seeds has been useless so far, and no animals to be seen... gah!

I am going to "board' with you if that's ok, I just need to get started and gather enough food so when I go back to my mountain, I can feedmyself long enough to get a farm of my own started.

EVerything that I use or will use I will replace (such as your seeds). Basically all I plan on gathering near your place is seeds and wheat, as well as some wood so that I may begin making my own tools.

If you want me to leave just let me know.

[Arclight]

Rather complex compared to a boosted minecart. We've had subways on our maps before. ;)

Now with the option to enable creative mode for a specific player it should be a lot more doable at that. No need for mods and blocks break with one hit. Guess that means you don't even need tools.

No we don't, wasn't even suggesting it. Yes we are close, and there's no telling how long it will run. Considering they only spilt some features off recently to form the 1.9 update, it's fair to assume they wanted that stuff out there already, and those features will therefore be implemented sooner rather than later.

Think the more sensible aproach here is to at least wait untill we know what the deal is with 1.9; whether it will take 2 weeks or 2 months, and if yet another new map would be required for the full release (2.0?).

[NeonSamurai]

Btw someone had claimed the desert area north of me, but i dunno who. I did see torches and signs and stuff.

[TteFAboB]

That'd be me; I'd like to claim the whole thing, but if that's too much I'll settle for the northen half, which was marked and now is almost walled.

Anybody settling closer, please be advised a tall, dark and very ugly structure will be raised.

[NeonSamurai]

Btw I do claim the lake just west of me, in case I do decide to do some major building there at some point.

[Kapitän Schneider]

[Krauter]

Aye, but I'd suggest that, if the time frame between 1.8 and 1.9 is large enough that we construct roads or some sort of markers just so navigation is easier

[Oberon]

The chunk around Zirrans building is currently affected by the XP bug. Anyone in it will suffer crippling lag which will make MC unplayable. I do not know if the bug disappears over time, however I think someone has to be in the chunk for 15 minutes or so to make the orbs disappear. How long it will take with the crippling lag I do not know, but until then I strongly advise that people stay in their safe areas and do not venture into Zirrans chunk.

[Spike88]

I'm also claiming the area south of me between my fort and the river. Going to expand that way as it is the least hilly.


As for the XP lag, I can enter the chunk and will get bad lag, but my text continues to work, so if need be I can stand in his chunk for 15 minutes.

[Kapitän Schneider]

XP lag is gone, sucked up all the xp and took a swim in lava, someone please test it just in case while i'm on now.

Another XP bug, in the chunk around Genos place...will probably affect Spikes place too. Keab is attempting to fix.

Arc, can I suggest that the server is set to peaceful mode until this game killing bug is fixed? It won't stop it when people fall to their death or drown but it'll stop it from mob killings.

Here are the co-ordinates:

By the way, I will nerf the endermen block carrying. It was a horrible idea.



:up:

[Crécy]

Notch made a new mob and I got to say, there is something very, very disturbing in that smile...

XP bomb fix... noaw!

[Arclight]

Sorry.


Think the first thing I'll do in 1.9 is build an arena. Big dividing wall in the middle, piston powered, then lure mobs in one end and put snowmen in the other. Nice balcony to watch the show, lever to lower the wall, and showtime!

T'will be like the good old Roman days. Just, you know, snowier.

[danlisa]

^ Snowman Mob deals 0 damage. ;) Nice to watch though.

[Arclight]

Exactly. They'll be torn to pieces of course, but it should prove highly entertaining for at least 5 minutes. :lol:



Fixed a few annoying lighting bugs, like fences under walls and such. We're hoping (HOPING!) to release something tomorrow.

And

If we don't feel comfortable doing a proper release, we'll do another "leak".

See? Never hurts to moan. :D

[Oberon]

Can I moan for an updated map? The latest Stronghold is off the current one. :doh:

[Dowly]

^ or you can just post the coords.

[Arclight]

Moan and you shall recieve.

So, wait what?

Phew, on my way home again. Finished most of the nether stuff, which includes two new hostile mobs (one is the retexturing attempt)


Heh no, no screenshots since you'll be able to see them yourself tomorrow (knock on wood)


Oh, and when I said "retexture attempt" I mean the failed attempt. I was forced to also change the model, but it was worth it

So not just a few fixes... 1.9 already?

[Dowly]

Mmm... Notch's If we don't feel comfortable doing a proper release, we'll do another "leak" comment would indicate 1.9 :hmmm:

Then again, I thought there was much more to be done for 1.9, kinda makes one wonder why release 1.8, then in a
few weeks 1.9 when they could've just waited and release it all at one time.

[Arclight]

Well there was a lot of moaning for 1.8. Every single bloody time he send something to anyone or posted anything, complete strangers would chime in asking about 1.8. :lol:

Think he just got tired of it tbh.

Annotated map. Anyone know who owns the squares with no names?

[Krauter]

Your mediafire link isnt working for me Oberon... Just keeps going back to processing download

TteFAboB (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=214016) owns the desert area north of me, and the thing to the south east of my marked spot is also mine (building a wood fort there)

[Dowly]

Good news and bad news:

We'll do a 1.9 pre-release today, and a full release after feedback. More
Adventure Mode content will come in 1.10, we're splitting it up!

Wonder when we can have a proper SMP world again. :shifty:

[Arclight]

well... we can let it run. New stuff should spawn with new chunks, right?

Might do a community project to establish a fairly substantial route through the Nether and have it come out in new territory. Kinda like making a "second map" alongside what we have.

Now that's not a shabby idea...

[Dowly]

Wonder what'll happen to the Nether, think they made changes to it too. :06:

Arc could possibly delete nether and have a new one made with the new chunks.:hmmm:

[Arclight]

Could delete it, but i bet it's the same thing as the normal map: what was spawned remains unchanged, new chunks generate with the new features.

Anyway, 1.9 is available so I'll update it shortly. See what happens.

Oh, and mobs will be on again of course.

* actually, from the responses in the first 10 mins it seems rather borked. :hmmm:

[Arclight]

Well, there we go, for better or worse. The XP while jumping is a debugging thing aparently, to test XP orbs flood.

CPU use seems rather high, but nothing too worrying yet.

Does anyone have 2 slime balls, and 64 redstone?

Also a lava source?

Will be willing to trade.

[Arclight]

Tons of lava, just need 3 diamonds for a pick. Been combing a cave, tons of resources, apart from diamonds of course. :roll:

Right, few words: the reason I pushed 1.9 on the server, despite it being a pre-release, is that we had the XP bomb bug looming constantly. Whenever someone died it could slow the server to a crawl. Turning off mobs solves that to a degree, but it's not going to stop anyone from falling down their fancy mile-high staircase. 1.9 was needed to restore mobs and, indeed, playability.


So how do you get it to 1.9 then? It's not exactly updating on its own. Well:


Minecraft Beta 1.9 prerelease can be found here, http://assets.minecraft.net/1_9-pre/minecraft.jar (http://assets.minecraft.net/1_9-pre/minecraft.jar) (server jar also available)

So you grab that and end up with a .zip file. Java can't work with that, it uses .jar files. So what you do is simply rename the file from "minecraft.zip" to "minecraft.jar".

Then you copy/move that into "c:\Users\*User*\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin\". It should overwrite the minecraft.jar that's already in there.

Note that in that path, "*User*" refers to the account name you use on your PC. Also, the AppData folder is hidden by default, so you may need to enable the showing of hidden folders. You can do this under the "view" tab of the "folder options" window in the control panel.

Psssst, the download is already .jar. :88)

Does anyone actually have show hidden files set to off? It's usually one of the first things I turn on when I get a new computer/restore/etc.

Depends on what browser you use. If it's already a .jar, skip a step.

I have them hidden and use TotalCommander. Alternative file browser, got that to show hidden files.

The Yogscast - Buildcraft Mod Spotlight (Technic Pack Part 1):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd7KYnagZEs

Lewis backdates his Minecraft to 1.7.3 and looks at a combination
of awesome industry-style mods compiled by an awesome fellow named
Kakermix as the "Technic pack". I have shied away from this for a while
because it's so complicated, but once I got stuck in, I realised it was
totally and utterly awesome.

The Technic combination mod pack is out-of-date and completely unofficial,
so use it at your own risk! You should be able to find a way to downgrade
your version of minecraft back to 1.7.3 with this mod:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/106402-tool-cyborgs-tools-mcnostalgia-103/

The Technic pack is available to download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?acsbstl1lublse8

Wow. :o

Certainly interesting.

AFAIK, the potions have been in the code for ages. Good to see they finally
implemented them to the game. :yep:

This will probably ->NOT<- be included in Beta 1.9, but it's a nice screenshot.

He also just tweeted about a blindness potion.

[Dowly]

Full list of potions in the code as of 1.8:

[Arclight]

The plan now is to do another pre release of 1.9 this week. Yeah, it's a beta of a beta. :D It will have item reparing!
And animal breeding.


The reason why I don't think the potion effects will be in 1.9 is because there's not enough time to add the brewing system
.. and because I still vote against the proposed system. ;)
