^shit goes down more than a 3 dollar whore

I just ran the maze, so it needs to be reset.

1/17/2011 9:58:43 PM

where is it?

1/17/2011 10:19:11 PM

yfeah's Haunted Mine, Mob Grinder, and Spleef Arena!

Elevated and enclosed walkway to access all three for your safety just off of the Obsidian Road. (334,333 if you have the waypoint client running.)


Haunted Mine



Descend to the double doors and try combo locks of two difficulties and a haunted maze. Maze is currently closed for repairs


Also a wall of flapping doors. I can run them at a steady pace or for extra spookiness use a pulser and speed them up.

Please let me know if you run the haunted maze as it requires a manual reset each time.


Mob Grinder


If you are collecting items at the mob grinder and only need one of the item drops, just leave the other items in their respective chests conveniently located at the collection point.


Spleef Arena


For the spleef arena, use diamond shovels. If there are 3 or more players, one can be the controller and open the iron doors for a synchronized start. Controls are located beneath the arena. Extra dirt is available in each staging chamber to reset the floor (if you use it, please rebuild it).

I didn't overload the arena seating with torches, so watch out for a stray creeper.



Enjoy!

Motherfucker.

I phantom died tonight. No enemies, no cause, just auto-died and ALL MY SHIT WAS IMMEDIATELY GONE. I need my stuff back. Lost 18 gold blocks I was bout to put down for minecart boosters (which is like 1/2 of all the gold I've ever gotten in the game).

Shit lost:
18 gold blocks
diamond shovel
diamond pickaxe
56 redstone
55 iron bars
4 mine carts
3 buttons
21 wood
48 cobblestone
64 sticks
2 signs
2 obsidian

can a mod put the stuff in my vault or something? I'm basically hosed

1/18/2011 2:49:04 AM

Can't connect to the server, constant timeouts

1/19/2011 12:49:20 AM

any kind of update on when the server gets updated, or is it still a waiting game on that one mod?

1/19/2011 8:04:05 PM

^There may not be an update to the mod. The server is still up and running, you just have to connect with the older client. There's a link a page or two back to the client version loader to still play

I finally logged in last night and played for an hour or so

1/19/2011 8:22:58 PM

i mean ive been on and playing

i just want to mess with the new shit on the multiplayer server

wanna hide arrow shooters in the subway

1/19/2011 9:03:36 PM

Still waiting on the new mod to be finished. There is a half-assed patch to the old mod, but it has a LOT of issues that could cause serious damage. The good news is the new mod WILL get finished and it WILL have most of the features of the old one. The bad news is that there's no real ETA for release.

Even when we do get the new mod there's a chance it could fuck the map up entirely, plus the new minerals/trees wont spawn on the existing map. I might be able to selectively delete unused chunks and regenerate them to force the new stuff to spawn, but we'll see. This is sort of a shitty time to be running a server thanks to the updates and mod switch-overs and bullshit. Hopefully Notch will get his ass in gear with an API so shit will start running more smoothly.


Other than that, sorry I've been MIA for a while. I've been going through bureaucracy hell with the college to get a class I need to graduate, not to mention other issues.

1/19/2011 10:20:03 PM

he needs to get this auth server issue figured out before I stab someone

^^If you launch the client AND it updates, you have to exit and relaunch the version from the picker (weird I know).

^yeah you have to just keep trying, I think that happens because of the wonkyness with the minecraft.net servers. Reminds me of the old AOL days. Took me probably 15-20 tries the other day to get on

"On Sunday, as many of you know, Notch was on the Coe's Quest Livestream (Coe's Quest is one of the best and almost certainly the longest Minecraft Let's Play; it is currently at 117 episodes) and it turned into what was essentially a Q+A session. If you want to watch it, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6bks8lpDK4. It was over an hour long and covered a huge amount of the topics that have been bouncing around the forums. Apparently I have no life, because I listened to it twice and took notes on everything he said the second time. Please note that none of what you read here is guaranteed. Just because Notch said it once in reply to a fan during a livestream does *not* mean that it is 100% certain to happen, no questions asked. That said, it gives a lot of interesting insight into a lot of things, so I thought those of you who have not seen the livestream would be interested in knowing what was said. I have bolded what I consider to be the most important points because there are a lot of them and the important and trivial tend to get mixed up. None of this is my interpretation; it is flat-out what was said (the wording will obviously be slightly different). - Notch is not, in fact, God (I am not making this up. He actually said this.) - He dislikes hiding tricks; he considers the differentiation of furnace textures from stone one very positive effect of the change. This is also why the dispensers firing through blocks glitch was fixed. - Cake was going to have gravity, but he didn't get around to implementing it. - Mojang definitely wants to do something with capes; Notch mentioned clan affiliations as a likely option. - Notch did not know or does not know that the texture pack competition results have been announced. As of Sunday, he had not signed the prize(s?). - Although there are no plans to officially support high-resolution textures, Notch plans to add unofficial support. When xau's fix was mentioned, he talked about perhaps getting an official release of it. - Notch plans to add inter-server portals, most specifically with regards to the Nether. We can expect to see the Nether in SMP when that happens. However, there are problems with how to manage inventory between servers. - There is a plan for differentiated saplings for different trees OR saplings randomly selecting trees based on biome (this second part was supposed to already be the case) - He will definitely add a dangerous water mob. - In SMP, there will probably be an option to show a nickname instead of your username. - The mob spawning problems in the Nether (something that leads to crashes for many people) were acknowledged and he said they may have been fixed in 1.2_01 - Slimes should now be in the game again, although he said they were probably too rare. - Notch wants to make a way to stop mobs despawning and perhaps allow breeding (the example he gave was allowing two pink sheep in a pen to create pink sheeplets [yes, he used that word]) - There is a possibility that he will add translucent textures (this was brought up with player helmets in mind) - Lava smelting should no longer consume the bucket - Servers will be able to suggest texture packs for use on them - 'Non-transparency' sections may be added to terrain.png - There is a possibility that ops will be able to do things like see through walls, fly, and become invisible - There are sorta-not-really plans for dragons. He said that they were...interesting...from a technical aspect and a gameplay one. - Yes, weather is coming. - Later on, settings will be added to the world gen such as limited maps and perhaps other indev things. - Bigger and better boats, maybe. - There will be a friends list / saved servers list. - The simple fix for sidegrass would increase polygon count, so he is trying to find a fancy fix first. He is aware of it, though. - Notch tries not to look at mods to avoid their ideas influencing his, - BUT he does plan to greatly increase mod support, and even *MAYBE* talk with the best mods about official integration. - He likes blocky light. Maybe he'll add BetterLight sometime, but he likes blocky light. - Perhaps holding shift will allow you to latch onto ladders, so that you can sit there instead of always moving up and down. - Ropes that act like ladders but only need to be attached to a single point have been considered. (this would also potentially include casting them like fishing line) - Sugar might add a slight speed boost or healing - There is a possibility of an underwater breathing apparatus. - Notch appreciates all our talk about the game and the free testing we provide. - Support will improve. - They want to add more to the nether, because it's boring right now. - Magic. Magic was mentioned and seems to be planned quite seriously. A mention was made of the materials for it perhaps being in the Nether. - That said, the magic will stay subtle, like enchanted items. Another suggestion that he seemed to like was ice-making. - Steve is carrying a bag of holding. Problem, reality? - Notch is considering the Aether, but he doesn't want to add another boring realm; he needs a way to make it interesting and to make the Nether more interesting. - He plans for furniture, and has seen mods for it that implemented it in a way he liked... ---and in the middle of that, the audio died for 10 minutes--- - Boosters WILL be fixed, and a booster block will almost certainly be added. He sounded quite certain about this one. - Minecraft will probably not be on Steam until it's out of Beta. - Saves will be autoconverted to the new optimized format. - Notch really, really wants mob villages, complete with more AI than anything yet seen in Minecraft. - More records are already prepared; the main challenge right now lies in finding cool ways to allow players to get them. - He was inconclusive about future saddle uses. There was no mention of horses. - Squid should be dying on land; it is a bug that they are not - Fish may later be permitted to be placed in aquariums. - When he adds air travel, it will probably not be a primary method of locomotion. He liked the idea of hang-gliders or something similar--recreational flight. - The issue of painting customization in SMP was brought up (so that everybody could have their own unique paintings). The idea seemed to come as a little bit of a surprise to him, but he said he would consider it. And that is all. Keep in mind that, like I said, almost none of this is guaranteed. It gives a really good idea of what future plans look like, though. So. Discuss. What do you like, not like, are really excited for...all that jazz. And watch Coe's Quest, because it is awesome and Notch likes it. "

Seems like I"m more interested in new monsters than anything else. I have still only seen 1 slime in all the time I have played. They're my fav.

Haven't heard anything new about torches changing to stop burning after a set period of time. This makes me .

Anyone have any recommendations for single or multi player survival mode maps? I recently spent a ton of time on one called "Survival Island" with a few friends which was a blast. Was a nice change having semi limited resources and some objective goals to reach.

1/25/2011 11:09:38 AM

Does the new launcher not disappear for anyone else? As soon as I close minecraft, the launcher screen that gives the 5 options of which version to run pops up again. It won't go away unless I restart my computer.

GrumpyGOP:
Everything's running fine on my end.

ncstatepimp:
That sounds like a lot of fun. Haven't messed with it. Let me know if you find a good one, I'd love to check it out.

Will do. The Survival Island one I was referring to is here:

What is the IP of the TWW server?

1/25/2011 2:36:57 PM

Normal IP is mc.dekciw.net
Old IP was dekciw.net
Current IP is 64.94.238.157


(I'm assuming we'll go back to mc.dekciw.net once everything gets updated.)

I know I haven't posted in this thread yet, but if the SMP server I'm playing on ever goes down, plz let me on your server.

Pirate, the admin panel should be running again. I uh... forgot to pay for the DNS box.


Still looking into the mod situation. The new mod is apparently not living up to expectations, and the community has fractured into about 3 or 4 competing mods that are all less stable and functional than the old one.

1/26/2011 10:03:38 PM

a lot of java problems

any fixes?

1/27/2011 2:46:50 PM

Pretty sure the minecart issue is due to the mod situation.

I'm sure we'll be rolling along with TNT and other fun stuff as soon as our mod issues get taken care of as well.

For the time being, everyone should be wary of the subway system.

I've had the same shit happen to me. (I've had some success riding in minecarts for smaller spurts, rather than doing the entire length of Iron Road in one go. Also, it doesn't hurt to /sethome as you're riding so you don't have far to run if you do die.)

[Edited on January 27, 2011 at 2:49 PM. Reason : ]

1/27/2011 2:48:09 PM

Nastoute: you have to get the version loader from page 27. The error is from trying to connect to an old server from a new client.

^the minecart death only happens from hitting a stopped minecart at speed. If everyone takes their carts with them when they leave the tracks, it wouldn't be an issue. I'll go clean up the iron road carts today if I get a chance to log in

Yep. You're on the whitelist. Follow the links that Saturnine posted on (i think) page 28 (if not 28, then 27). You'll have to download the launcher and use IP: 64.94.238.157.

1/27/2011 4:43:52 PM

it'd be sweet if there was a way to bring the carts to a stop by just holding stop

my minecart death came from jumping out of a moving one and landing in front of it >.<

Hey guys, this is obcline... just started wheat farming and I am not having the yield that I was expecting in the time that all the guides stated...just wanted to get other's experiences in how light effects farming (i am currently farming in a slight valley with direct sunlight)

Also I would like to suggest for Notch a recipe that entails a row of 3 bread over a row of 3 fish and another row of 3 bread to make a MASSIVE fish sandwich that has a AOE full heal! I believe it would be vital to the games long term success.
