I played it a bit when it was it's early early early stages. It was boring as fuck at the time though.
Perhaps I'll give it another try if they do another free weekend.
I'm currently in the middle of building a giant treehouse; you can put a block of dirt on a tree and build one tree on top of another.
probably one of the best $12 I ever spent.
There's no entrance, so it seems like they can spawn pretty much anywhere that's open enough. I'm going to try to set up more torches, to see if that can help.
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

Question no Yeah
Oh god you guys
shut up guys just be quiet maybe he won't know we're in here oh god I just spent ages on that bridge you guys come on
man, I always make sure to drop off my nice stuff in a chest before I go exploring
It would have taken a lot more time and work, but putting the cobblestone in the furnace would have made it back into stone. It would have given the blade a much smoother texture. Still pretty cool.
It was boring the first day or two, but now I can't stop.
Also, about the sword: Needs lava flowing from the base so it looks like the blade's actually stabbing into the earth and making it bleed.

So how's everyone enjoying Beta? I'm so happy that leaf decay is back.
I keep trying to get a good world to start anew on but every time I try I think of all the grand structures on my main world and how I don't want to abandon it because of all the work, but then I want new things and that world is 19mb and it takes a long time to load.
backup your main world, make a new one that looks good, and hack in all the cool structures you want. I don't see that as cheating.
I wonder if you could make a mod that allowed you to move between your worlds. Would make a bloody mess out of the save files unless you forced teleportation back to your original world upon quitting, but still kinda cool.
Screenshots of the world map alone won't make much of a story, so I was also thinking of keeping a small day-to-day diary with your impressions. It would be interesting to see everyone's individual thoughts on the world at the very end.
I don't know if SirJuggles has managed to survive so far, but the week ahead is fairly quiet for me, so I'd like to pick up the world as the second player.
http://www.mediafira.com/?a7etvajvdmm28tcI love that video. Also this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3Ci09GwAmg).
Welp, I died in the succession game. I just have to clean up my diary entries and take a pic of the map and compress the save. I'll upload it tomorrow.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21046891/QC%20Minecraft%203.zipI believe it is Boro Bandito's turn.What do people think of getting a server up and running?
Is it my turn next?
404 is pretty sweet. Just a note, though, the one that spawns you in a mountain is "gargamel", lower case. It does actually matter.
1x1 tower with a 19x19 platform at the top
TOTALLY want to get in on QC server minecraft.
There's some nice free space between snalin's fort and my place
Also I get what you mean though, I built that tower next to snalin's base without realizing he had further plans with it, and feel kind of like an asshole now for doing it.
There's some nice free space between snalin's fort and my place
Is your place the square tower just down from Steve's massive sandstone construction zone? If so: a. nice parapets, and b. if no-one else has plans for it, I'd like to build something in the water there, just to the south-west of the wooden walkway/bridge.
I built something on the server. When you see it, you will shit bricks.
that is stupendous, what's the inside like?

http://www.mediafire.com/?cds1uiss175dwd7It should be its own building and I think we should all build our own.
So is it time for another world map update?
That used to be est's house. It got burned down.
That used to be est's house. It got burned down.
Yeah, that is/was my scale model of Fallingwater. I had not yet realised it had burned down, because I haven't been able to play in a while. How the fuck did that happen? :(
If I rebuild it maybe I'll use sandstone in the place of wood, but I really don't know how the fuck it burned down, because I didn't think it wasn't close enough to trees to catch fire from any of them in the case of a forest fire.
Ok, I just sent a PM to everybody I think. If you didn't get a PM from me just let me know.
It should contain the new server IP as well as the login information and a download link for Teamspeak 3.
i can't play with you guys because apparently i'm not white-listed by the server.The new server version of Minecraft has a default white-list, so just PM ackblom with your minecraft user name and he'll add it to the whitelist and you can then join.
or so it tells me when i try to connect to it
sandstone looks almost identical and is so.much.easier to build. But ask me for help in game, I'm kinda at loss for projects at the moment.
ok, I need a head count on how the new server is treating everyone. From what I gather, it seems like the folks in European are getting a much better connection and the States are getting some minor lag issues. I know Kat has been getting worse lag than I have which is really odd since we're on the same network, but hey.
So yeah, just give a heads up as to how it's treating you and then we need to discuss if we want to continue the subscription and if so, how much everyone would be willing to chip in for it.
That house is indeed awesome, yes.Really? I actually don't like it at all. :P It was a pain in the ass to build and it's completely useless as an actual house. I was thinking of stuffing it full of TNT and see just how explosion-resistant furnaces really are.
Steve, any chance we could get an updated map?
Just to let you guys know, I'm going to be out of state from Wed morning to late Monday night. I'm going to leave the server running but if it goes down in that time I won't have anything to access it with while I'm gone.
Fixed a bug on mc.net pertaining to e-mail verification being a tad harsh.
Well, that was kinda stupid.

I HAVE to remember to bring food with me when I'm mining underground. I was playing around in Stephen's mine, got as deep as I could and then started line mining. Eventually ran into another giant cave with tons of iron, coal, gold, redstone and lapis. Got about two stacks of coal and redstone, a stack of iron and lapis, and probably 30 gold. Ran into a skeleton and then a zombie and then another skeleton and died. I had no idea how to get back to the mine, let alone where I died, so I lost everything, including a bunch of tools. /sigh

The beta patcher works like a charm, though. I'm using it frequently, it now allows you to switch between different patched textures (shaders and animations included) without modifying the default texture. Painterly FTW!
So just what is that thing floating over the psyduck?

And there it updated. Woo!
And it gives the same error as the server we rented did, so I guess that was what was wrong with it, missing sync between versions.

Someone's abandoned project. It involved a lot of lava and water. I think I should take it down some time.
Also RE: modding, I think it is great what they are doing, and they aren't just going to use people's mods with no regard to the mod creator, I believe that they said for major mods they would probably compensate the mod creator(s) with money, which I think is super cool.
New Map!

Cool, here's the path I took going to the snow biome, then to a forest, then through a desert, and finally found someone's cave where I teleported back. Exploring is great!

did the game crash? were you on the server and got booted?
Was your death by "suffocation" (did the screen go black-ish and you hear hurty noises)?
Stuff
One unannounced glitch fix that makes sense but is annoying the first time you come across it. You can't hit mobs through doors anymore. It will open it even if you're standing inside that square.
If you drop an item with wear, either on purpose or by dying, and you pick it up, it only has ONE use left then disappears.
We don't have them on the server, but does anyone like the addition of tall grass and shrubs? It makes things look needlessly crowded. Well, as soon as Painterly updates I can at least get them to look better.
well, if you think you have the time
1.6.6:
+ Added a new use for bonemeal
* Changed the material of glowstone from “glass” to “stone”. This means you need a pickaxe to get resources from it
* Made glowstone drop more loot
* Made the recipe sizes for creating cloth blocks and glowstone blocks smaller (2x2 instead of 3x3)
* Re-introduced unlimited FPS, renamed the option again
* Fixed beds not working very well at all in SMP
* Fixed destroying a boat spawning the player too low, causing them to sometimes fall through the ground
* Boats float up to the surface quicker
* Boats falling down into water lose their vertical momentum very fast
* Removed Herobrine

I think I would make a grand doorway like the thing in the video but ramped up to 11.
hey, can I have the server IP please?
Firstly, Y coordinates are height, so that tells me nothing, and secondly, rounded numbers are good enough. Every block is 1 point, so any numbers after that are pretty much meaningless. X and Z are for longitude and latitude.
http://minecraft-seeds.net/view/24/-1784338777788894343
So this is a pretty amazing seed. Please, I urge you to check it out. Largest flying mountain range I've ever seen.
This is freakin' hilarious. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EjCKzo1cC0)
Guys, the server is deafeningly quiet! I know we've all seen the majority of what there is to see, but it would still be nice to work on little things together, so join in once in a while.
Ok guys, We officially have a new server., Ack, do you mean like an online hosted server? Still ready to chip in here.
I most definitely got it to work, but I don't know the various coordinates for people's different areas. Someone tell me those.
Is Notch adding any ways of getting (currently) monster only ingredients other than adminning them into existence?In creative mode you can just spawn them in without any adminning.
Never. They spawn when you die? :psyduck:you drop them
I think there was a fix for that problem not long ago, but it might not have made it into 1.8.1. Experience orbs are now grouped in subsequent prime numbers.This may or may not explain why jumping three times can fill the bar up
Woot, found a Nether Fortress not terribly far from the Far Sea end of the nether railway. I'll work on marking a path, then securing it for easier travel to the fortress for brewing supplies. Fortunately, the exposed parts are at least over "dry" land, no tightrope walking over lava lakes.
...I don't quite get how it works...
The server has been updated to 1.2.2!
Yeah, I finally got a decent-enough graphics card where I can boost the settings pretty high on a lot of games, including Minecraft, and it really is nice.My god man, get yourself some anti-aliasing. :psyduck:
I've been doing a single player YouTube series in an amplified world. Mostly because I need practice speaking for some other video projects I want to do, but I've been having fun with it, and it's up to 27 episodes now.
oh lord it must be nice to be able to render further than the bare minimumYou know what's also nice? Rendering twice the maximum distance.
I also do less dumb stuff. We've got a server going at our faculty, where I do most of whatever I do. I'll try to upload something with a lighthouse I'm very happy with.Clever, I like it! I never thought of a use for light detectors.
If anyone has any active, open servers, I'm interested.
EDIT: lighthouse. Turns on automatically at night, turns off at day. Vanilla minecraft, no mods.
EDITEDIT: pretty happy with the boat in the background too. Built it based only on the floor plans of a spelljammer galleon (first thing that showed up for galleon floor plans on google)
Very nice! I still haven't really worked much with redstone circuits, but there are definitely some interesting things you can do now with some of the new items.i'd love it. now just gotta find some time to play on it :P
I was looking into server hosting, and it's quite reasonable now, so I think I'm willing to be point on a new QC server this round. I'm thinking just a vanilla 1.7 amplified world to play in? Let me know what your preferences are, though.
oh lord it must be nice to be able to render further than the bare minimumYou know what's also nice? Rendering twice the maximum distance.
Redwolf4 should, of course, be mine.Not right now, might be a few weeks until it's updated. With every update, Minecraft's source code has to be unobfuscated from scratch in order to make the mods work again.
Also, that optifine, will that work for the newest version?
And with the amount of underlying code they changed in this update, particularly with the render engine, they might have to rebuild the mod code from scratch as well. The good news is that they've done a great job optimizing under the hood, so this should help older machines play better now than they have for a while.Redwolf4 should, of course, be mine.Not right now, might be a few weeks until it's updated.

I made a prototype of the sun temple in a creative-mode world, just so I could be sure how I wanted it to look before I started on it on the server. Here are pictures of it at night and during the day. Spoilered in case you'd rather wait and see it after it's built. That could be a while - I need a LOT of quartz.
no Stargates
One thing we might want to do is enclose the Nether portal near the spawn point, because as it is now mobs can wander into it, get transported to the Nether, and be waiting for you when you come out of the portal. My first trip to the Nether on this server lasted about five seconds, because a creeper was standing right next to the portal on the Nether side.
public final class ReadTimeoutException
extends TimeoutException
A TimeoutException raised by ReadTimeoutHandler when no data was read within a certain period of time.I admit it: I'll pause the game to google "how-to"...
I am thoroughly enjoying it. the central town's defenses are rather porous, tho.Since... always.
keep having mobs swim across the river and blindside me.
!SWIM!
since when could mobs swim?
now that my house is built (yes, I need to decorate) I really want bow and arrows.Plenty of string in the community chest to make bows. Feathers are abundant too. If you need flint, you should grab about four stacks of gravel, stack them all under your feet, and then grab a shovel and dig down. You'll have enough flint for about two stacks of arrows.
next to fishing, sniping mobs from a safe perch is fun.
Can they open trapdoors from below? If not, that might work to shut them out?
I wanna go to the all-you-can-eat five-star buffet with you guys... but I can eat instant ramen too... and I'm lazy....What I read.

I've noticed that since the latest update zombies don't try to break down wooden doors any more. This may be a bug, but for now it's a very nice bug. :-DAccording to the Mojang bug tracker, this is intended. They might break down doors only occasionally now. I like that, it means that villagers aren't immediately doomed to be exterminated by zombies the moment night falls on a village.
Progress on the 1.7 update
We are usually not talking about the progress while working on an MCP update. This time I make an exception.
Posted by Searge / 06.11.2013
The update of MCP for 1.7.2 is a huge task. So much changed in the game, this is probably the most difficult update for us since we started the project. But the changes are a huge step towards an official API and they will help modders to make better mods as soon as MCP, FML and Forge are updated.
Unfortunately we could not work on the update for the past few days. Everyone is waiting for something that I need to take care of and, as many of you may have noticed, I was at Minecon 2013 in Orlando. So I could not really work on the update, but that will change now.
And for those of you who are worried about the future of MCP, I can assure you that it won't be abandoned or stopped anytime soon. As long as we have a need for MCP, it will be updated for new Minecraft releases. Me joining Mojang as a fulltime developer on Minecraft does not change anything for MCP, we already got all the support we needed from Mojang for our updates for the last 2 years.
Please keep in mind that MCP is not just me, we are a team of 6 very talented people, all working on keeping MCP alive and updated. So make sure you also direct your messages to ProfMobius, IngisKahn, Fesh0r, ZeuX and R4wk if you send me "thanks" for the work we are doing. And of course, also direct your criticism to all of us ;)

Finally started Work on my house. Yes, the jump gap is intentional.
has anyone made some TNT? and can you activate and then drop it? "grenade style"You can place a block of TNT high up with no blocks below it, and when you light the fuse it will drop down. I wouldn't recommend clearing caves with that method, though. Take a bucket of lava and flood the place. Everything dies. And it's reusable!
I found a cavern full of mobs... and I needs to clear them out.
Yes, this is our world.
Remember that villagers count single doors as houses, as long as there is more shelter behind the door than in front of it. So you can cut a 2-block-high, 3-block-deep cave into a cliff face, and make the outer wall entirely out of doors. Factory farming.Yeah, I saw the tutorials on villager breeding. I'm not so keen on turning my home into a villager factory, though, so I'm gonna keep it sensible and give them actual houses.
How many villagers do you need for the game to start spawning golems?About thirty, I think.
Sooooooooo...Yeah, it was weird like that when I created it. I don't particularly mind, though, it's still better than having to walk all the way back.
I made myself a hole to live in.
I made a portal.
I corrected my portal to go to the right spot in the nether.
But I ran into an issue: I shall try to explain:
SageJiraiya Nether Portal--> SageJiraiya Base
SageJiraiya Base--> SageJiraiya Nether Portal
Spawn Nether Portal--> Spawn Base
Spawn Base--> Spawn Nether Portal
LTK Nether Portal--> LTK Base
LTK Base--> SageJiraiya Nether Portal
So, when you leave from LTK's to the nether you end up at my portal, but they're only like 10 blocks apart.
That's the only issue.
I managed to stop a forest fire, but it looks like it did some serious damage, and I can't rebuild because I can't seem to get online.I just got around to checking this out. Something is wrong here. There's no nearby lava source that could have started this fire. Either lightning strikes have been causing fires that don't get put out by the rain, or someone's been starting fires. Snalin said a creeper exploded on the wooden bridge a while ago, but it didn't look like explosive damage, it looked like fire damage.
Yeah, I've not got it that bad, but it takes about 20 seconds before I can really walk out of them without the game just lagging me straight back in them after a while.Yeah, now my home portal takes me to your nether portal. :lol: I moved my nether portal to the exact x and z coordinates of my home portal, but when the game looks for a nether-side portal I guess it takes the y coordinate into account as well. So, previously my portal went to SageJiraiya's portal, which was higher, and now it goes to yours, which is even higher.
I made another portal in the middle of everything. I don't think it should mess with any other portals, but if you're getting interference, that might be it.
for a given location (X, Y, Z) in the Overworld, the corresponding coordinates in the Nether are (floor(X) ÷ 8, Y, floor(Z) ÷ 8 )
(...)
If a candidate portal is found, then the portal will teleport the player to the closest one as determined by the distance in the new coordinate system (including the Y coordinate, which can cause seemingly more distant portals to be selected). Note that this is Euclidian distance, not taxicab distance
Would resetting keep all the stuff everyone has built and made?
I'm actualy to the point of suggesting we RESET the server.
IRON is ridiculously hard to find...
I could be of assistance in plugin management or general advice, though I don't think you'd need it.It's a vanilla minecraft server, no need for plugin managment.
Then it's the_masterpiece .
I DID kill an enderman the other night.
got a ton of experience and zero loot.
Pumpkin helmet and flame enchant sword = sneak up and ambush.
Ive got a coworker who is looking for a new MineCraft home server.
He is a cool guy I work with and is good at building interesting MC machines.
Permission to give him the link?
I'm playing Minecraft 1.8.1 vanilla right now. I tried to start a few months ago but made a hash of it, got killed by a Creeper blowing up next to one of the walls of my hut on the first night and ended up not making much progress. I've restarted with a few "n00b-no-more" steps.I'm actually having much better time now I've gone in with a measure of organisation. Now, the time has come for me to carve into the depths of the Earth to find iron, gold and redstone (optimistically). I need, need, need iron to do what I want to do next which is to clear out a space in front of the entrance to Ben's Mine to plant my seeds and start raising wheat. To do that, I need a bucket!
- Didn't stray too far from my spawning point;
- Instead of going to the top of a hill, I have just carved into the nearest available hillside for my starting hut;
- Making a bed was an urgent priority;
- Locating nearby sand and water was a priority.
Depending on how much minerals are around, I may not move far; I might even just build myself a Hobbit-Hole out of the entrance to my mine or something.
Damn. Things sure have changed since I last played Minecraft. I think it was still in beta back then.Yeah, if you want to get back in the groove of things, I recommend 1.7.9, imo, but the latest is 1.8.1. 1.7.9 is probably not going to overwhelm you with oceanic BS, so you'll probably be safe.
Spawner?
I have just... encountered the strangest hostile mob character that I've ever seen in v.1.8.3:If you think that's weird...
A baby zombie riding on a chicken. Yes, you heard that right. I just wish I'd had the wit to take a screencap before succumbing to my "Ohmigod whatisit? Killitkillitkillit!" instinct.
Also encountered my first Enderman. Scared the $*&! out of me; I've never heard anything so otherworldly! As I don't have a bow, I'm staying well away and not looking directly at him.
I have no idea what to do with all these prismarine blocks though.
is the forums' Minecraft server still up ?
It's long gone, but the save file link might still be around.
Edit: Yep - http://www.mediafire.com/file/kw2raqgayd9xrg8/QC_Amped-Oct.zip
Aren't trapdoors a recent addition? They're certainly not 5 years old. But you never know how the ebb and flow of popularity pans out.
Out of curiosity, what is it that you do with stairs and trapdoors?
Aren't trapdoors a recent addition? They're certainly not 5 years old. But you never know how the ebb and flow of popularity pans out.Place an upside down stair atop a right side up stair, then place a trpdoor with a low hinge on the bottom stair and high hinge on the top stair.
