Wait. Was notch really in our game??? Motherfucker that is awesome

12/27/2010 8:10:18 PM

oh shit

that is rad

12/27/2010 9:13:05 PM

what is going on on the road just north of the GOP headquarters? there's at least two sections along the road where there's like a ~10x10xinfinity column missing. i left a sign and repaired part of the road just so i could get across. sorry if someone was in the middle of something, but i was when i saw it. then minecraft crashed so i did something else.

N0EN, wanna give me trap making lessons? I've got the room already dug out and everything.

12/29/2010 5:44:00 PM

Can someone whitelist BigPete03

12/29/2010 8:02:41 PM

i wish i had a computer that could run minecraft that smoothly. my laptop starts out great but turns to shit within 5 minutes of becoming a spaceheater. i usually use my desktop in full screen but its 10 years old, so it only runs smoothly with the highest fog setting, and only then in claustophobic settings. fighting seeing mobs are all but impossible.

Mine has gotten significantly worse lately, to the point where it's just unplayable most of the time. I've got a Q6600 w/ 2Gb of RAM running a pretty fresh install of Win 7, and it still bogs down after a few minutes of playing. I really wish they would get away from Java or optimize the memory management, because the game routinely eats up 1-1.5Gb of memory within a few minutes, and often crashes or hangs.

12/30/2010 8:04:54 AM

^^It's retarded that you can use torches like that. I think Notch's #1 priority should be trap doors that allow water.

12/30/2010 10:28:36 AM

dekciw.net is what we are using now?


I thought the old map would be saved... I can't even set my home or see a playerlist on this server.

12/30/2010 11:39:57 AM

mc.dekciw.net

12/30/2010 12:03:50 PM

whew... Ok. Thx. I did try that one earlier, but it must have been resetting for a moment.

12/30/2010 12:14:22 PM

what's up with lava?

was trying to put some in my skull cave and it's all wonky

12/30/2010 8:23:46 PM

Tnt doesn't work on the server...

lava flow is buggy in multiplayer. I know that it flows down. i've sometimes been able to get it to flow out, but not with any predictability.

12/31/2010 10:34:28 AM

I just realized that the gold brick boosters are a mod. It would be great if notch made this mod part of the game.

1/1/2011 10:55:11 AM

I have no idea how to play this game....but I paid for that shit.

1/1/2011 11:14:25 AM

Saturnine: can you pretty please figure out a way to get TNT working? I have been holding off on a number of projects for that

1/1/2011 5:23:07 PM

so, is water like turned off above a certain height? or was my fountain just being a dick?

1/1/2011 7:13:08 PM

can we turn dropping an item to repair it back on or have another command like /home to switch quickly between our mine site and build site?

1/2/2011 12:06:21 AM

1/2/2011 12:08:46 AM

do want

in other news, i made me a store at my outpost for if we ever get an economy working

[Edited on January 2, 2011 at 12:35 AM. Reason : of course we'll also need a mod to have unbreakable blocks and lockable doors and etc first]

1/2/2011 12:33:48 AM

tried to make http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1flo9rhHfis but i guess circuits dont work in multi

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/CraftBook plz plz plz

1/2/2011 3:37:34 PM

Holy shit at Notch showing up.

Any word on why? Did he have comments?

I've been inactive for a few days due to other shit going on. Need a new project...

1/2/2011 3:58:06 PM

^x7 I can do it whenever, but there is a huge potential for abuse; especially with the possibility of expanding the userbase. We'll figure it out though. I'd like to see it usable too.

^x6 Water flow may be wonky because of anti-grief measures, but I don't think so. It might just be a weird bug. Lava IS basically locked down for anti-grief though.

^x5 That was a bug in the base server code that's been fixed. There are some alternatives though. Once I get an economy running I'm planning on having a portal system set up that costs a small fee to build. That should satisfy the need for inter-base fast travel without being too easy.


I am at some point planning on inviting some more users through whitelist applications. The server hasn't had a lot of use recently, and I haven't been getting many lag reports. I can promise whoever I let in will be held up to standards, and will be watched for a while after they join. I want to add to the community, not detract.

There's also a pretty major issue coming up soon regarding the mods for the server. The team that was developing the most popular server mod (the one we use), has decided to stop updating it and build their own. It's still in early development, but they may have already stopped updating the old one. It also means that any plugins that the old one used will be obsolete, and may not be ported over. This includes things like home warps, vault warps, minecart mods, etc. It's really a dick move for the time being, that may or may not be beneficial later on. Time will tell how fucked we are.


^^ Circuits should work fine in multi-player. I haven't had trouble with them yet, with the possible exception of clocks at times. I've been planning on implementing CraftBook from the beginning, and now it might not be worth it to do so because of the mod changes. The next month or so is going to be very fucked up in terms of how the server functions.

1/2/2011 4:55:02 PM

The reason no one has been on the server is because of the holidays I'll be back in full force soon.

I think griefing is a non issue on the server. I have yet to see any griefing from anyone (likely because we're all friendly and internet-know each other), and enabling it will make large scale projects infinitely faster (especially given that we no longer have infinite tools)

1/2/2011 7:07:48 PM

I think my mob grinder is functional now, gonna test it to see how many items I get.

1/2/2011 7:28:08 PM

i got my blinking tower working, though it stops whenever i log back in so no idea if anyone else can see it blinking

1/2/2011 8:50:42 PM

^ like I said, clocks tend to fuck up when a chunk unloads, so that's your problem

He didn't say anything or even do much moving around. I kinda feel like it was just some kind of Herobrine sort of thing. Not actually him, just some npc thrown in for a short time to fuck with people.

1/3/2011 8:24:48 AM

i think the real notch shows up in gold (his name and what he says)

1/3/2011 8:42:10 AM

So, I decided I wanted to have a livestock level to my monster trap. So, I began by removing the ceiling of the giant hole I dug and continued to make a dirt floor littered with torches to keep the monsters away.

Grass never appeared. I looked online for answers; all I could find was people saying that all you need for grass is dirt and enough light.

Well, I decided to experiment. I built dirt steps (and switchbacks) from ground level down to the the dirt floor. Slowly but surely, grass is starting to creep down the steps. I made the dirt steps at about 4 or 5pm yesterday and so far the grass has grown 21 blocks down... 15 blocks to go.

In other news....

Hoff, how long did it take you to hollow out the subterranean area of your spaceball thing?

I just looked back at old posts and saw this,

"now that there are creatures in multiplayer, any chance of implementing something like this on a server level? http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=86929 - BigMan157"

That would be AWESOME.

1/4/2011 8:46:07 AM

That reminds me... A fun variation of the entire game would be to have human players as zombies - they could dig through bases with only hands/simple blocks and try to "bite"/convert the other players to zombies.


I nominate myself for our first zombie in the level.

1/4/2011 10:13:15 AM

i would definitely play that game.

If you mean the big sphere with torches all over it in the middle of the lake, that is actually my structure.

I'm still digging the hole, though the water walls already go all the way to bedrock. I've been working on the whole structure for several weeks off and on.

1/4/2011 12:44:41 PM

damn i timed out and now i cant log back in

1/5/2011 9:00:20 PM

yeah it was being extremely wonky for me earlier tonight. i gave up about 10 minutes into it.

1/5/2011 9:59:08 PM

so I got to show off my haunted mine again, added a haunted maze to the locking room and flapping wall of doors. trying to think of new ideas, I've got a ton of area to fill.

1/6/2011 2:49:00 PM

Yup, the space ball thing is Scrager's. He has been working on it for weeks. I encroached unknowingly on his forest and mine.

1/6/2011 5:19:03 PM

Turn on TNT!!!

1/7/2011 3:38:12 PM

^agreed. I am running out of fun stuff to do.


OR LET'S WORK OUT THE ZOMBIE GAME IDEA

1/7/2011 4:34:30 PM

that colliseum at approx. 1:27

want to make

1/7/2011 4:55:08 PM

^i'm actually in the beginning stages of something like that. I've been excavating for a week now. site prep is a slooooooooow process.

1/7/2011 5:52:12 PM

^yeah, because theres no damn TNT

1/7/2011 7:03:28 PM

Is it possible to have TNT working but not creepers? Else my shit would be destroyed by creeper damage.

1/7/2011 10:45:39 PM

i've noticed that creepers are only 95% not working. most of the time when they blow up, I take damage but the terrain does not. But every once in a while, a creeper will blow up and take out a huge hole with him.

1/8/2011 5:36:56 AM

i have not noticed this. None of the creepers that have exploded have damaged any of the environment.

1/8/2011 9:05:17 AM

it's been happening to me, they tore up a couple of my mob grinders/collectors.
