I've been having an issue on Neocraft for the past week or so. Every now and then I would put stuff in chests and after I'm done doing that the items just pop back into my inventory. It's becoming increasingly annoying. I don't have any other lag issues, I can place and remove blocks just fine, I can fight and interact with mobs just fine, I have a full green bar and I'm located in The Netherlands close to where the server is located so I don't get what the cause of this is. :/

I've had that happen a few times since the update to 1.3. I'm assuming it's a bukkit lag bug or something.

This is awesome!

What a great deal on shoes! I'm gonna have to head down to the Jersey shore and buy me some sandals....

So, I was wondering if you guys would be interested on a project that I'm working on. I extracted the skins from the first XBLA Skin pack & the Summer of Arcade pack. I'll also do the same when the 2nd skin pack comes out on Friday. I'm creating a website that will have all of the skins and a preview of what each one looks like & an easy link below each one to change your Minecraft skin. Here's a very rough verison of what I've got so far:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17689746/Mi...ins/index.html

Would you guys be interested in my continuing this?

I think there would be a lot of interest in this.

Plonk down some ads on there and post the link on the official Minecraft forums.

Make maybe a little bit of cash. Get some e-fame etc.

So you're seriously suggesting he make money off of releasing Microsoft's pay-for skins to the public?

Doesn't this sound at least a little bit, well, illegal? Releasing them for free is a bit murkier morally (I think it's still illegal to release paid content for free, although in this particular instance I can't say as I particularly care one way or the other), but making money off of doing it just screams "wrong".

[NihonTiger90]

If you haven't seen how The Torch looks yet, you can see it here:

NihonTiger on NeoCraft: Episode 22

Thankfully, since this is done, the future has much more adventuring in it! :) Then some more building. :p

[Overdoziz]

I've had that happen a few times since the update to 1.3. I'm assuming it's a bukkit lag bug or something.

It's happening to me practically 90% of the times that I grab some out a chest or put something in. Yesterday I grabbed shears and when I used it on a sheep it turned into 49 wooden blocks which I just deposited in a chest of mine a minute before that. Needless to say it's quite the annoyance. :|

Don't worry, I have no intention of putting up ads to make money off of this. I might not even share the site with the public (just share it with my friends). I changed the url of the newer version of the site. The one I posted I removed. I'm not sure of the legality of sharing these skins with a large amount of people.

[xenoflux2113]

Trying to find a good place to start digging and building where it won't be a hindrance to anyone else... feels like I am walking quite a ways.

Found a spot that looks good.

[crackhead_bob]

Does anyone know how to create copies of maps on single player? I'd like to do some exploring without worrying about fear of permanantly losing my progress if I happen to die. I'd like to have a central map to keep at my spawning area and a few others handy to take along with me as I expand beyond the borders of my main map.

Also, I'm planning on creating a perimeter monorail system to get me to the edge of the maps, North, East, West, South. How much iron and gold will be needed to get a railroad from the spawn point of my map (the center) to the northern edge of the map. I have no desert biome nearby my spawn point, which also happens to serve as my main resource gathering area. And I've explored every inch of area on my map, and there are no deserts or mushroom biomes to be found conveniently nearby.

Also, how common is it to abandon an epic minesystem once you've got a warehouse going? I've contemplate doing so, but I've invested so much time on it. Alot of my valuable resources are stored there, and I'm hesitant at the idea of having to create new wheat farms or having to scour the countryside for more animals to house at a new farm.

[Andiie]

C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves

or go to the windows start menu, type %appdata% in search and press enter. the roaming page should open. just go into your .minecraft folder and backup your saves folder. you should already know the name of your map, so if the shit hits the fan just replace it with the backup.

Edit: I apologise for not reading the rest of your post and answering, I had a tiring day at work. I feel worn out. :( Good luck with whatever you do.

[xenoflux2113]

So here is where I settled. I hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes here in this area. Aside from the metro line it looked relatively barren and free for development. If its an issue let me know and I can move.

[Overdoziz]

So this is the glitch I've been talking about:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hd14Ch_-aiU

Apparently it can happen in singleplayer too for some people. It wasn't happening to me earlier today when I was alone on the server but when I logged in while other people were on it started occurring right away. So weird. Neocraft is still running on an old version of MC, right? Hopefully it's already fixed in the newest version or will be fixed soon, it makes it practically impossible to work with chests properly.

[CharmingCharlie]

So here is where I settled. I hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes here in this area. Aside from the metro line it looked relatively barren and free for development. If its an issue let me know and I can move.

As far as I know the only one building anything near there is Ninefingers and he is at least 500 or so blocks away from you. If there is no visible sign of anyone "claiming" the area then don't worry too much about it. We aren't that strict about things ;-) (I do know where you are coming from though, when I first started I worried about stepping on peoples toes).

One note about the rail routes around the server, if you wish to build near them then feel free (if there is no rail station in the immediate area say 250 blocks) then feel free to add a rail station to the routes just check with either me, Crazylegzlu or Nihontiger before you add the station. If you want to build under them then no probs, over them that's fine and hell if you want to incorporate them so they pass right through your build not a problem.

On that note, Xeno I have started a rail station at the 90 degree bend in the railway just above the area you are settling. It doesn't show up on the map yet but it's there in game, a round substation just like the one at Neolantis. I have to finish it to make it accessible from the ground, but this will let you easily use the railway from close by your home. At this point it's just a station with no new spurs, in fact the minecart won't even stop as it now just trucks on through the station. Eventually though I'd like it to have a branch heading north to an emerald mining town I started in the new chunk generation.

New weekly snapshot is up at Mojang.com Some interesting additions coming!!

12w34a

Added item frames
Added cobblestone walls (yes, mossy too)
Maps now align to a grid, making it easier to create adjacent maps. Maps can also be cloned
Stairs now auto-arrange into corners. This is a test and may change based on feedback
Mobs can travel through portals
Leather clothes can be dyed
Removed the “wip block” from the creative menu
Added two new crops and associated items
F3+P will toggle the auto-pause when the window loses focus (it’s for debugging, mainly)
F3+H will toggle detailed item descriptions (also for debugging)
Added arrow-sensitive wooden buttons
Trapdoors can be placed in top-most position (based on cross-hair aim)

[Mengy]

Interesting in both good and bad ways...

Mobs can travel through portals

Woah, I don't want pigmen all over my bases, but kind of neat.

Leather clothes can be dyed

Just leather? DAMN IT!!!!!

Awesome to know. I was wondering about connecting to the railway but if you are starting that I will focus on mining and building my complex, and use the station once it is done to get around. I feel ambitious enough to try and use that whole area I circled, or at least a decent portion of it.

I have to give credit to NihonTiger90's latest video for spurring me to use my citizen status for more then just wandering around and looking at the incredible builds on the server.

I thought as much but yeah I wanted to make sure first.

Ohhhhhhhhhh it was you that did it, I spent last night interrogating anyone that could move about who built the new station ;-). I was working on the Neolantis line and went through it and thought "WTF I don't remember doing this". Not an issue mind you, good place to put a new station :-D

Oh don't say that it will make Nihontiger90 start badgering Ark for "commission" on every new citizen ;-) . Great to have new people on board, the Neocraft server is a genuinely fun place to play minecraft. I always miss the place when I am playing single player.

I have been a citizen for a bit actually but haven't set roots anywhere until last night. I'll be on much more now. In the past I just aimlessly wandered and checked out the sights as a citizen-tourist.

Even when I'm trying to build I end up just flying around other peoples builds half the time until an idea for what I'm trying to build jumps into my head.

Speaking of building, I won't be on again until Saturday/Sunday, left my castle in a bit of a lull for now, I'll get to finishing it next week :)

Yeah, I like the design you have for the Neolantis station, so I figured it would be good to build any stations along that line with the same design. I may even change the look of the Desert Station to match honestly.

[-Minsc-]

So here is where I settled. I hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes here in this area. Aside from the metro line it looked relatively barren and free for development. If its an issue let me know and I can move.

I was thinking of planting a large wheat field around the rail there. It's no big deal though, it just would have been a "when I"m bored" project.

[microtubule]

Interesting in both good and bad ways... Woah, I don't want pigmen all over my bases, but kind of neat. Just leather? DAMN IT!!!!!

The portal spawn thing could get interesting down the road though. I was thinking something along the lines of Half Life or Oblivion where agressive mobs could sometimes spawn at a portal, mainly on the highest difficulty or as an option to disable or enable.

The dye limitation I have a feeling is only temporary. I mean most players mainly use Iron or Diamond armor.

We could extend the Orange Line out to this station, maybe? If not that we have other options. I'd eventually like to send some line underground to my new ravine/mineshaft in the new chunks, but that's a ways out at-3700.

Yeah, I'll hop on in a minute and see about sending Orange out that way.

[Insaniac]

Am I wrong in saying that there are some things that are mods to minecraft that probably should've been added to vanilla minecraft a long while ago? One of the simple ones is stained glass. I would love to create giant stained glass buildings.

Second is 'wireless' redstone. I've seen several concepts but I like the idea of a block that can receive a redstone charge without directly being connected to the wire. Not everyone who plays minecraft is an electrical engineer and the main reason I don't use redstone as much as I'd like to is because all the things I create end up being a cluttered network of redstone that is impossible to hide aesthetically.

[NihonTiger90]

Yeah, I'll hop on in a minute and see about sending Orange out that way.

I haven't gotten to do any plotting between Heaven's Reach and my fortress, though. I was hoping to make it a straight line between stations but I wanted to make sure we weren't digging through any basements in Heaven's Reach and I won't be home until much later this evening.

Skins are free on PC anyway, it's not like you're giving them away for free on the 360 or anything. I don't see the issue.

New snapshot notes (via Reddit):

The new crops are carrots and potatoes. You can apparently use them to make baked potatoes and golden carrots, the latter being used in brewing nightvision potions. You can also occasionally get poisonous potatoes from harvesting potatoes.

New to the game is a new mob, the second boss in the game: The Wither Boss. It has three heads that shoot projectiles at players, animals and villagers; can break through and destroy blocks like an Ender Dragon; and the projectiles have a mechanic upon hit called "wither". Wither acts like poison, except it turns your bar black and does not stop at half a heart, meaning it can kill you. It gives you a message saying "[Player] withered away... " upon death.

Adding fermented spider eyes to nightvision potions makes them invisibility potions. They seem to work on any NPC because someone made their dogs invisible.

Dog collars are apparently colorable.

Hmm, I'll have to plan a new, proper farm with the new crop additions. Large fields, separated by cobblestone walls? Yes, yes.

So do you also fight this guy in The End?

So do you also fight this guy in The End?

It's unknown, as far as I know. The Wither apparently tends to crash the game, so it doesn't appear naturally in the game yet, it has to be spawned.

I'm so looking forward to the next release of Minecraft, the additions for 1.4 have already been amazing! Mobs being able to go through portals is great.

Is it true that villages can now appear in the nether and different biomes? (themed villages), or was that just one of the many MC mods out there? (Saw it on some youtubes)

I'm just waiting for easy online multiplayer without having to setup a server.

Does anyone know how to create copies of maps on single player? I'd like to do some exploring without worrying about fear of permanantly

I meant a craftable map. My first map has all corners completely filled out and I'd like to know if it's possible to craft a complete copy of the same map on my workbench instead of having to start from scratch. I'd like to have 5 copies, but I don't fell like having to do all the footwork all over again.

This from my Nether Portal I set up on Neocraft, took the screenshot about a half hour ago or so. This feature is already there or am I getting it wrong? Little pigman dude came through the portal into the over world as you can see above!

[ArtistDude88]

A Pigman came through my portal at the Harvester the other day. I put some doors down so if another appears, he won't wander around :P
