so i mostly finished my xp grinder. it's a little buggy (zombies temporarily glitch out of their containment area, they dont seem to get hit even when they're hit in the right place a lot of the time, etc), but i think that's mostly due to lag. I'm prob gonna try and figure out a good way to fix it up, but I'm going to china for a few weeks tomorrow so i won't have time till next year.

It's over at x=244, z=422 if anyone's interested in checking it out

i wish rotten flesh was good for something. anyone heard of any mods which make it have some use, or rumors that some good functionality will be added?

I think you can feed your wolves with it, without that causing any trouble.

Oi, Magma Cubes have a chance to drop magma cream now! That ought to make potions of fire resistance a lot easier to get, when you don't have to go underground for slimes, and don't have to use precious blaze powder to craft it.

Did you guys get a chance to start brewing in multiplayer yet? You can have a lot of fun with potions of fire resistance.

snalin · « **Reply #1005 on:** 14 Jan 2012, 08:45 »

I've been doing a bit of it, but since my current projects doesn't involve the nether, I'm not needing any of it. I'm definitely going to start brewing large numbers of potions of speed or whatever they're named if I'm going to do a lot of travelling above ground.

Hey guys! I'm going to leave a donation link for the server costs here. It's $25 a month currently and I'm looking into getting an annual sub (can't find the package for the type of server we have, feelin derpy) so hopefully that will be changed up soon. But either way, this is a direct donation server costs and nothing else. I don't see a dime of it.

What you all built in and around the ocean biome looks amazing. Mad props to you guys.

Did you know the next release is going to have jungle biomes?

Also a new mob. Yikes.

I am super impressed by the sea-port on the island just by the underwater portal in the sea. When I first saw that island, I thought it'd be a sweet place for a harbor, but you have done a stellar job compared to anything I could have done.

Giant pyramid I built. The base layer is 100x100 blocks wide.

Minecraft Legos Preorders available now, altho its $35 for a 480 piece set. If I had a kid, or knew that I would have time to play around with them, I'd def go for it. However, I have no time and no kid.

snalin · « **Reply #1012 on:** 17 Feb 2012, 07:18 »

Hey, Ack, do you have another map available? I wanna see how my place is starting to look now that I've build out the mountaintop.

pardon for asking, but may I join you? I don't quite get how it works, you've got your own server?

You don't understand?

So, Ack, should we just give out the IP, or do you want it to still go through you?

And also map?

ackblom12 · « **Reply #1016 on:** 25 Feb 2012, 20:45 »

Go ahead and invite whoever you like. Just keep in mind I'll have to add them to the white list before they can log in.

And here's the new map: http://www.mediafire.com/file/9iabab7rbslrwtx/02-25-2012.rar

So, pretty close to spawn, on a mountaintop right next to my place, somebody has started mining out a place - made some dirt walls and clearing ground. Does anyone know who's been working on that? I don't think anyone has done any work on it for a while.

I kind of want to expand my place that way, but if somebody's got plans, I'll stay away.

I'm gonna have to download and get back into minecraft. I need more things to distract me from skyrim and SWTOR and schoolwork.

I really wish I could get back into Minecraft to try out all these new things, but every time I start a new world I just get bored halfway through building my first base. The best remedy to this is to wipe my memory of all things Minecraft, but since I can't do that (yet), I'll go for the next best thing and plug all sources of information about Minecraft and try to start again when it has receded from my consciousness for a while. So maybe I'll see y'all when 1.5 rolls around!

ackblom12 · « **Reply #1021 on:** 01 Mar 2012, 10:52 »

The server has been updated to 1.2.2!

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #1022 on:** 01 Mar 2012, 13:16 »

Forgive me if this has been covered, but does anybody know if there are any plans to release a Minecraft that isn't as graphically demanding? My only computer is a Netbook and I can play it, but only at 3 or 4 frames per second on the lowest settings.

snalin · « **Reply #1023 on:** 01 Mar 2012, 13:47 »

That... is a slow computer. Tried windowed mode? That should make the game render less stuff, which will improve performance. If you are desperate, you can boot with almost nothing running (don't start any background programs, indexers, firewalls or virus searchers, dump steam, torrent, avast, explorer itself), but remember to don't do anything else internet-related at that point, as viruses.

Minecraft runs on Java, which is generally much heavier than other programming languages - it talks to a virtual machine that talks to the hardware, instead of going straight down - so you'll probably not get it to run properly on anything slow. It also loads a shitton of objects at once, so it'll eat up a lot of your ram.

Though, if you have something comparable to what's specified here: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Hardware_performance, and you still get a lot of lag, there might be a problem somewhere else. Do you have an integrated video card? That'll make it pretty difficult for you to get much performance out of anything.

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #1024 on:** 01 Mar 2012, 14:02 »

It's stock everything (I haven't looked into it, but I'm pretty sure I can't upgrade the video card). It's actually a pretty powerful little computer. the only thing it can't do it graphics. Oh well... I'll have to get my cube fix from Ace of Spades, which runs perfectly fine.

LTK · « **Reply #1025 on:** 01 Mar 2012, 14:12 »

Install Optifine.

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #1026 on:** 01 Mar 2012, 14:21 »

I'll check it out. Thanks- I don't own enough legos to get the same experience.

Just spent ~2 hours terramorphing my mountain top to be more flat in preparation for building The Cathedral. Don't have like any coal or any way down now. Lots of monsters in the cavern/cave beneath me.
Originally I was going to chip away at the mountain until the entirety of the cavern was revealed to the sunlight, causing there to be no creatures spawning any more, but that seemed like it would be way more work than flattening it all out a bunch.

Have you updated to 1.2.3? I seem to be running into skeletons and zombies that don't burn in sunlight.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #1029 on:** 07 Mar 2012, 16:56 »

I updated to 1.2.3 a few hours ago.

I was showing my friend around, people has made a lot of awesome stuff lately! The nether seems to be changed again, though, but it might just be the portal enterances that's been fucked again.

snalin · « **Reply #1034 on:** 28 Mar 2012, 03:31 »

Dude, you have to update the server again! Frequent updates is apparently a new thing they are doing.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #1035 on:** 28 Mar 2012, 19:24 »

Sorry about that, it's updated now.

Also a new map!

I don't know if something is wrong with my computer or what, but I've gotten the same map from the last 3 map downloads? all have different names, but they all are the same map.

snalin · « **Reply #1037 on:** 30 Mar 2012, 02:27 »

Yeah, there's stuff missing from the desert side of my keep that's close to a week old.

snalin · « **Reply #1038 on:** 28 Apr 2012, 11:39 »

The last map is almost a month old now, think you could magic up one, ack?

Alright, confirm with me if this is just an older map again. If it is, I think the FTP server I'm connecting to is just older files. If that's the case, I just need to find out if I just didn't get that information when they did the server updates.

snalin · « **Reply #1040 on:** 29 Apr 2012, 03:06 »

yup, that's an old one again.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #1041 on:** 29 Apr 2012, 16:23 »

Put in a ticket earlier today just to get it sorted out. It's Sunday though, so I assume it won't be resolved until tomorrow.

Papersatan · « **Reply #1042 on:** 29 Apr 2012, 21:20 »

Oh man, do we still have a server? Is it the same one? Steve hook me up. Classes are out, I need to do a thing.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #1043 on:** 29 Apr 2012, 21:57 »

Also, the server was just updated to 1.2.5

snalin · « **Reply #1044 on:** 01 May 2012, 11:59 »

And deleted? I'm suddenly without equipment in the middle of the sea.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #1045 on:** 03 May 2012, 00:38 »

Well poo. Alright, for the time being then, do whatever you like to what's currently showing up. I backed up the server on the 30th, so I'm trying to get it restored but it's not cooperating at the moment.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #1046 on:** 03 May 2012, 23:38 »

Ok, good news is that the server is back up and running as it was on Monday. Shouldn't be anything missing I don't think. On the other hand, the map I'm generating is still the same map as before.

Once again, I'll try to get that fixed, but this time I'll try doing it without killing the server.

Jimor · « **Reply #1047 on:** 08 Jun 2012, 15:31 »

Haven't had a chance to play much with all the video editing I've been doing, but had to share this.

Minecraft Wedding.

I wasn't there, but it happened at a local art gallery that host various events and that I've been to often for music shows. Just a lot of neat props and design that went into this.

snalin · « **Reply #1048 on:** 09 Jun 2012, 04:52 »

I made something new on the server! In addition, there's no an underground railroad that goes from my castle almost all the way to the far islands, as the nether keeps being silly and changing and getting borked.

Anyways here's the picture of the fresh sand city:

It's just south of my keep, which is coming along nicely.

Mothykins · « **Reply #1049 on:** 28 Jun 2012, 00:29 »

Ohgodyes. Minecraft. It tends to consume a good portion of my life. It's an amazing time-waster, but it gets pretty boring when you don't have anyone to play with.
