Not a bad haul at the grinder today. Died last night and was unable to get back to all m y stuff. As a result I had lost an Unbreaking III/Silk Touch and Unbreaking III/Fortune III pickaxe and other enchanted tools. After some time in the ender grinder I walked out with:

-Unbreaking III PIckaxe
-Efficiency IV Pickaxe
-Unbreaking III/ Efficiency III/ Fortune II Pickaxe
-Fortune II Pixkaxe
-Unbreaking III/ Efficiency V/ Fortune III PIckaxe

Figured I'd try again later for the silk touch.


Anyways, when I was back in my storage loft I checking in a chest, which I use when I want to unload stuff in a hurry and not worry about organization, for some iron ore. Inside were all the tools I thought I lost. Seems like I was smart earlier in the evening and stashed a bunch of my stuff before I went exploring in the nether. Well, now I have a nice stack of tools to burn though.

By the way for anyone who has some spare time on the server it would be useful to increase the size of the ender farm. I recon between 6-8 more spawning pads could be added to it and it will at least double, maybe triple the time it takes to get to level 50. All the tutorial videos say it should take 5 mins to get to level 50. My experience so far is that it takes 20 minutes of on and off enderman slaughtering to get that far.

So snapshot 12w19a is out with a few neat things that will be in the next patch:

It’s time for the weekly snapshot. We are continuing on the work to separate the client from the server, and have fixed a bunch of stuff related to that transition. We’ve also, - Added cocoa plants to jungles - Added a “large biomes” world type - Added specific names for the different sandstone and smooth stone blocks Get the snapshot here: Client: http://assets.minecraft.net/12w19a/minecraft.zip* (See below!) Server: http://assets.minecraft.net/12w19a/minecraft_server.jar (or EXE) * The client now comes with both the client-side and the server-side JAR files. The file called “minecraft.jar” should be in your “.minecraft/bin” folder as usual, and the “minecraft_server.jar” file should be in a folder called “.minecraft/server”. If you havent downloaded Minecraft you can grab it here: www.minecraft.net/download // The Minecraft Team

Large Biomes?

[Vlad]

Large Biomes?

I like the sound of that. If I weren't in the middle of a completely engrossing map I'm working on with the Redpower mod, I'd check that out :(

[Awesome Animals]

So, it's totally silly, but I'm going to need to purchase a diamond pickaxe for my xbox avatar. And my avatar is still dressed like a cross dressing biker from years ago when my friends messed around with it.

[Mengy]

Large Biomes?

Yeah, it will be an option at world creation in the next patch under the "world type" button, along with normal and superflat worlds. Basically it seems like it supersizes all biomes to like four times their normal size. Honestly I'm happy with the current normal random biome sizes, but alot of people wanted huge biomes, so they added it.

That looks like it'd be awesome for a really well populated server.

I've been playing around in FRAPS lately and I'm thinking I'm going to try and get it optimized for Minecraft recording, then do a NeoCraft server tour series.

[Insaniac]

is there some glitch with snowgolems not producing snow when they walk now? Or is it intentional?

[Imp the Dimp]

Being required to eat destroy the game for me. Is there any way around it?

[Xun]

Pretty bored of the game I must admit.

Which I can only see as a good thing.

The castle will be finished someday though.

[Pandaman]

biome dependant.

they'll melt in jungle biomes too.

Play in creative mode. Other than that, it's a survival game, hunger is a part of that. Personally I love it. The hunger mechanic adds a "cost" to constant sprinting and gives the player a reason to make farms and harvest animals. One of the best changes in the past year IMHO.

Yeah. I like how the different foods keep you fuller longer, too. Sure, you can live entirely off of melons, but you'll be hungry sooner than you would be if you were eating the more "filling" stuff like meat.

I recently got re-hooked to the game after checking out the current version of RedPower. I remember when it was just wires and logic gates, but the mod creator has added a TON of new stuff since then. There's a bunch of new ores, machines, electricity, and even a working in-game computer (haven't even touched that last one yet).

Already made a machine that auto-harvests obsidian for me using a pump and a block breaker, and working on something that'll automatically convert gravel into flint.

On top of that, I've spent the last few days mulling over how to use the Frames (moving blocks that you can connect together to make LARGE moving objects) to make a functioning elevator.

I still haven't figured out how to sprint :/

Double tap "w" (or whatever you have forward mapped to).

Speaking of the ender farm, did someone start working on expanding it? I notices that much of the glowstone lighting seems to be missing.

Double-tap your forward key. The sprinting is actually still really buggy.

I saw a cool design using the silk touch on ice. Make a 2x1 road out of ice with a mirror image roof 3 blocks above that. Then line the whole roof with trapdoors. When you jump while sprinting down this path it lets you run very fast. I'll have to test it in creative later this evening.

edit: okay I was slightly wrong. the mirror image roof is 2 blocks above the floor and the trapdoors are on the floor

[Awesome Animals]

Thanks guys!

Do it! :-)

I thought of doing something similar but FRAPS makes MC drop from 100+ fps to 20 for me so I gave up on it.

[Vlad]

How so? I haven't noticed any issues with it.

[-SD-]

Tested snapshot 12w19a. There's now LAG in singleplayer due to the new system. I'm not talking about low framerates. What I mean is that, playing Minecraft SSP now feels like you're on a laggy server. Totally unacceptable and a major facepalm.

I'm sticking with 12w17a until the issue is fixed. I hope it will be, some day.

[defel]

How so? I haven't noticed any issues with it.

I dont know if it does this in single player but there are often problems where you do this strange start-stop sprinting thing where it gets trapped in a loop which is annoying. More so I think that they need to change the way you sprint since double tapping w is often unresponsive and isn't 100 per cent accurate. Its a minor quibble though.

Yeah, I've been pining for a mappable key that you hold down to sprint for a while now.

Quick question. Why are the records so damn quiet? I've tried adjusting the music volume and SFX volume and I can still barey hear the things.

It kinda sucks because I went through all of this trouble to make a trap that holds creepers near the output of my skeleton XP/arrow farm. Now it all seems pointless because the records make me feel deaf.

[MackVee]

Speaking of the ender farm, did someone start working on expanding it? I notices that much of the glowstone lighting seems to be missing.

Yeah, I removed the lighting to see if it would have an effect on the Endermen spawn rate, I also started to replace Redstone wire with Repeaters to stop the blocks attatched to the Sticky Pistons from not retracting.

I haven't check to see if it had a positive effect yet, if not I'll look into extending it this weekend.

[Hugs]

I've recently gotten back into minecraft after deciding to try out some mods. I was messing around with yogbox for a while, but there was too much going on for me. I've settled on two mods that seems to compliment the way I like to play nicely, Infinicraft and Thaumcraft.
What's the best way to take advantage of the ores found in Infinicraft? I have chests full of random ores and gems that I can seem to do much with. I really like the variety added by the mod but I'm at a loss with what to do with the goodies I find.

[Shadow Hog]

I like how the different foods keep you fuller longer, too. Sure, you can live entirely off of melons, but you'll be hungry sooner than you would be if you were eating the more "filling" stuff like meat.

And yet, annoyingly, my attempts to have a pig farm near my house in the SMP server I play on only resulted in the pigs slowly vanishing until none were left. :E

It now takes 8 minutes to reach level 50.

I converted Neocraft (the old one) into a creative world today. I wanted to be able to fly around in it, so that's what I did. People made some crazy stuff that I never even got to see.

How do you convert a world to creative? I still run around the old server map to go sightseeing sometimes, doing it in creative would be far easier, lol.

[Awesome Animals]

Yep, I did something I said I would never do. Purchased a stupid fucking avatar item:

You could just install the "singleplayer commands" mod and you can switch between survival and creative just like you do with your tremendous mod powers on Neocraft ;-) . You can find the mod here :-

Damn I didn't know it was that easy. It wasn't hard the way I did it, but I used NBTedit.

[bengraven]

haha, I found my Mount Jar Jar picture. I miss that old spawn, but I screwed it up by using World Edit and lost the ability to create new chunks.

LOL I did that too a couple weeks ago. We at first spawn far from civilization and a train system, so I wanted to just fly to spawn asap.

[Goron2000]

Would it be possible to be able to build in the survival server please? Would love to help you guys out. my username is: Goron2000

I might not be in the right server, could someone please pm me the ip of the server everyone else is using?

I believe, the third post on the first page of this thread for the server address. To get whitelisted, send Ark a message with your Minecraft username.

That should answer your questions.

[Goron2000]

Ah thank you.

Heh.

I purchased the Creeper shirt because I had left over points from a card and I have one in real life too.

[bengraven]

Matching your avatar is actually pretty cool. lol








I've been sitting on a plot in Charlie Dome for over a week now, probably two and I think I finally decided what I was going to make.

First I was going to make a fake Nether, but it's so nice up in the domes.

I think I'm going to make a little Dutch style farm...with a windmill of course.

Is there an overhead view of the map up somewhere like the one we have for the current map? Having not played on the original server I find it a little hard to navigate.

Since you have the actual map you should be able to download a program to make one with the file.

Thanks but I'm getting this message whenever I click the link:

"FileServe can only be used to download and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally."

So I don't think I can download it from there I'm afraid.

I have a copy of the old world map here. I am in the process of uploading it to my dropbox but it is going to take a few hours I only have 40k/sec upload speeds.

That's awesome man. Much appreciated. You should start seeing me more on minecraft as well. Recent workloads and all that rubbish have stopped me from finishing my house in skycity, let alone building the villa I have planned. Can't wait to sink a decent amount of time back into this game.

[legacyzero]

Sorry I havn't been on lately. I've been playing too much DayZ to play anything else lately :P

[Raijin_Cain]

Sorry for kind of abandoning the server guys.

Between my SP world and the Path of Exile Beta, havent really played nothing else. :)

With Diablo 3 coming I dont see me coming back so soon :P
