It's sounding like NeoCRAFT will have to start exploring new continents.
For my Single player world I had a pretty interesting setting too, I spawned in a plain biome, right next to the sea, with a jungle biome nearby.
I crossed the jungle biome and went south, and found a rather small desert biome, surrounded with another jungle, taiga (with wolves), extreme hills, plains hills and a canyon just past my first jungle.
There is also a swamp not too far, and a zombie and skeleton surface dungeon in the desert.
It's pretty cool overall, but requires to build in the desert if you want to keep this central position, and I don't really like doing that mainly because of the tree/grass problem I was talking before.
Another thing that is not so great is that the closest village is really far away.
I did not build much in it yet, because despite the cool features i cant' find a good and easy to reach spot for a first base to set up the essential things (farms/barn ...) I only built an elevated cabin on fences you access with a ladder with a trapdoor, to avoid the zombie problem the first night and started digging a strip mine that ended up at the bottom of a canyon.

Completely agree. I didn't know about the new sounds and I thought it was a slime near me.

Ouch! Yeah, going out like that had to hurt.
Yeah I checked out my old 1.0 seed in 1.2 and the general layout was the same for mine as well. I lucked out on the cool landscapes though. Where once were awesome mountains jutting out of the ocean to the north of my island base, is now boring flat grassland. My island is still there though, so I'm going to wait until they stop messing with the generation code then import my castle and the other stuff I built from my old world using one of those world editors. There's no way I'm building all of that again from scratch.
Oh, and tah daaaaaaaaaaah:
My first music disk ever, after 17 months playing. Dropped off a creeper that took an arrow to the knee from a skeleton.
Ive been watching some of these videos on "Tekkit" which incorporates Buildcraft, IndustrialCraft as well as a bunch of other mods and it looks amazing. I really enjoy the mining, exploring and hoarding aspect of Minecraft (i honestly dont care too much for building things) so this looks perfect. Im going to check it out in earnest this weekend.

Just watched the first part and I must admit that looks pretty amazing. It's looks to be very automated once you start, but looks pretty complicated to setup which is rewarding in its own way. I could see it lagging a server pretty bad though.

Supposedly there is still a secret in Minecraft that hasn't been found yet.

Wonder what it is...and sorry for linking to IGN.

I think they've got tons of uses. Maybe he regrets half-blocks because they've been a pain to code and get working properly?

What worries me, is I'd like to think that it's something huge, but when it's discovered, it ends up being TOTALLY lame, or tiny.Supposedly there is still a secret in Minecraft that hasn't been found yet.

What's wrong with half-blocks?
They give more detail when needed, and work nicely as steps.

It would have to be a recipe. It can't be a block or anything textured because it would have been easily discovered just by peeking through the .jar files. It could be a mechanic of some kind too, like maybe an actual way to grow cocoa beans? Because that should be in the game by now. lol.
Barberetti

Well there could be an image that's hard-coded somewhere, but the modders would have probably found that by now anyway if it existed. Could be one of the recipes that's created when you assemble blocks in a certain way, like the golems.
So there's still no way of growing cocoa beans then? Shit, never realised that :lol

Minecraft 1.3 will have Bukkit integrated directly into the server client:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4_5cegsmEE&list=UUzWVveMiQIHas4C3DQE34Ww&index=1&feature=plcp
So integrated Bukkit for 1.3 multiplayer, then it sounds like they are going to use the mod API that Bukkit uses and mesh it into the single player client and use that for SSP mod support. That makes sense when you think about it, there already is a mod API for SMP: Bukkit. Why not use an existing and proven API that works?
I like the way Mojang thinks.

I would have been disappointed if bukkit was not intergrated in 1.3.

I'd love it if they rolled it into, say, 1.2.4, honestly.

Ahhhh right.
Ahhhh right.
I wouldn't be suprised if there was no 1.2 buckit...

I would be, considering there's a beta release already.
At the very least, I'd be rather annoyed, since the only server I play on is operating like Ark's operating his - 1.1 until Recommended Build comes out. Although, to make matters worse, that server's head admin also put in a mod that limits the size of the world to a specific radius (something like 1536, I forget exactly what), and won't raise it until the server goes 1.2 (so we stand a chance of getting some jungles), which limits what I can do until then...

I'm very excited for better mod integration into minecraft. There are some amazing mods that I'd love to try, but I always find myself apprehensive. And better integration of the modding community would probably end with me installing a ton of mods, rather than just the necessary Optifog.
Having said that, I hope there are other features built into 1.3 besides Bukkit integration. A perfect update has a good mix of single- and multi-player features.

I believe NeoCraft only runs Bukkit. In the past when we've waited to update once Bukkit went live we made the switch.

There's the download link for the old server. It was just rehosted a couple weeks ago so it should still work.
Awesome, thanks. I found the link from earlier before but the file was missing.http://www.fileserve.com/file/GWYGZ7H/NeoCraft.zip - 514mb compressed

We could probably host it on http://www.minecraftworldmap.com/, if Ark doesn't mind.

Ark, Mengy or anyone that can answer. What chat plugin is being used on the gaf server? I want to implement one on my server.
