Concerning Mining, Crafting, Serving, Fifthfiending

[Grimpond]

Also: WHen you are starving (empty food bar) you take damage. This is of course negated if you play on peaceful

[Aldurin]

And they can pick up bedrock, too.

I see room for ideas, we just need to master enslaving the endermen.

Fifth any word on the server in relation to the new update?

[CitizenZ]

Is anyone else having trouble logging into minecraft.net?

[Aerozord]

Oh yes it does indeed ASK if you want to update. I also strongly suggest everyone does as I did and save the 1.7.3 jar file so they can still have fun with their mods

[edit] IMPORTANT DISCOVERY: holding shift and clicking the craft output will automatically craft EVERYTHING in the input.

In other words, got 8 coal and 8 sticks, with one click you now have 32 torches.

[Marc v4.0]

That's...been around

[Aerozord]

That's...been around

I know for a fact it has not, because I did it all the time, shift+M1 moves the object directly to your inventory

[Fifthfiend]

Fifth any word on the server in relation to the new update?

Dear everyone who saw that a new update is out and immediately updated without making a backup and expects to be able to play on the server:

I am killing you with my mind. Please keep me updated on whether or not it's working.

EDIT: I am going to spend my time on the otherwise completely empty server finding every spot in town where any of you wanted to build and then sculpting a giant cobblestone middle finger there.

[CitizenZ]

Nope. But I didn't expect to be able to play on the server, so you may not be targeting me.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Sowe can't update and get onto the server? Works for me, 1.8 sounds crap anyway.

[Aerozord]

I understand this is beta, so we are really all bug testing the game. So applying incomplete mechanics makes sense. But the biggest parts of this update serve no function. Dungeons without bosses, villages but no NPCs, experience but no leveling.

Incidentally anyone else notice in the launcher update
- Removed Herobrine

You are forgetting the new terrain, which can only be described as EPIC.

[Fifthfiend]

Like I don't wanna hate super hard on 1.8 because there's a ton in it that sounds interesting and/or is a much-needed improvement to minecraft but so much of it seems like stuff that has nothing to do with adventuring.

Adventuring will be interesting if/when experience does something, they come up with something other than trollmobs for people to fight (hey gais I put in a mob that poisons u ps thars no antedote heh hEh HeEehHh), and the villages actually have people and shit in them who maybe like, do something.

Also healing items now that food no longer heals.

[CitizenZ]

Is minecraft.net down, or just overloaded? Or is it just me?

EDIT: Never mind.

[The Wandering God]

Two things:

1. Do I just copy the Bin folder to make a backup?

2. I didn't update yet, but when I tried to connect to Fiendcraft it said, "Connection Lost End of stream"

[Aerozord]

Two things:

1. Do I just copy the Bin folder to make a backup?

pretty sure if you backup the .jar file in the bin you will be ok. I hope so, all I backed up

[Flarecobra]

They DID say that they had to break the Adventure Update into two parts because it was so big... 1.9 will be coming soon.

[Fifthfiend]

2. I didn't update yet, but when I tried to connect to Fiendcraft it said, "Connection Lost End of stream"

There was some kind of funky Java error, I restarted the server, should be goodz now.

[Fifthfiend]

You are forgetting the new terrain, which can only be described as EPIC.

So now that 1.8 is officially out and people are playing it can anyone give me a clear, straightforward answer regarding whether minecraft handles new terrain generation on pre-1.8 maps the same way it does on maps newly generated post-1.8?

BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE NICE

[Nikose Tyris]

It appears to adjust to the new terrain generation style on pre-1.8 maps as it expands and creates new areas. If you leave to the point of map overwrite, the territory you return to becomes totally different.

Hope that helps.

[Doc ock rokc]

Short answer Yes Long answer OF FUCKING COURSE!

[CitizenZ]

Yes, old worlds will generate new terrain when you explore past where you already had, but the border between the two can look interesting.

[Fifthfiend]

Long answer OF FUCKING COURSE!

By "long" you apparently meant "thoughtless and ill-considered"

Yes, old worlds will generate new terrain when you explore past where you already had, but the border between the two can look interesting.

Thank you for this straightforward answer to a simple question.

[Fifthfiend]

By "long" you apparently meant "thoughtless and ill-considered"

But Fifth, it's OBVIOUSLY IMPOSSIBLE that 1.8 could have been written to support two different methods of terrain generation, as Minecraft itself does not do (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/The_Nether) in any way shape or form (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Skylands).

Well all right but SURELY you concede that there is simply NO REASON why Notch would bother to retain the old method of world generation as there is simply no possible way in which switching old maps to the new terrain generation would be disruptive to people's existing maps (http://nuklearforums.com/showpost.php?p=1155014&postcount=2271).

Thing is THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THEN ANY OTHER UPDATE. When biomes were first introduced. It would create biomes in the places that were not generated yet. Why on earth would you think it would be different?

[Fifthfiend]

Thing is THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THEN ANY OTHER UPDATE. When biomes were first introduced. It would create biomes in the places that were not generated yet. Why on earth would you think it would be different?

Because something having been done one way in a previous update doesn't actually guarantee that it will be done that way in subsequent updates? Because I've heard different things from different sources prior to the update's release and needed a definitive answer before I make decisions that will affect the overall structure of the server?

Nah, couldn't possibly be either of those, that would be like some kind of crazy-person thing that some crazy person would think.

[Fifthfiend]

Maybe the next time something is whoa totally completely obvious like I mean duh why would you even ask duh durr da-doy someone could let me, stupid, stupid person that I am, know a month ago when I said it was an important consideration (http://nuklearforums.com/showpost.php?p=1149525&postcount=1908) for what was going to happen with the server post-1.8, or two weeks after that when I (http://nuklearforums.com/showpost.php?p=1152663&postcount=2099) referred people back to that same post.

[The Wandering God]

I for one appreciate Fifth's dedication to keeping our sandbox from fucking up.

[CitizenZ]

Yes, I think Fifth deserves some thanks.

Thanks Fifth!

[Shyria Dracnoir]

You know we only do it because we love you Fifthy dear.

[Aerozord]

honestly I am most impressed with his control over his inner troll, ie not placing tnt mine in everyones front door and spamming the lightning command

[EVILNess]

You know we only do it because we love you Fifthy dear.

Only when he pays me, and not since that night in the hotel.

I still find myself crying in shame most nights.

But that is okay, Fifth gets off on tears of shame.

[Ryong]

Guys, according to the wiki...

In 1.8, arrows will lodge in doors; when opened, those arrows continue with their original momentum.

So, if I'm reading that right, you can now reproduce Ranger's death from 8-bit theather in Minecraft.

TESTING THAT. BRB!

[Melfice]

Yes. It works, sort of.

No. You can't reproduce Ranger's death (rather, Ranger's wife's death, if I recall correctly), since the arrows simply fall to the floor.
Incidentally giving your enemies ammunition (not sure on that. I was able to pick those arrows back up, though.). (Zhuge Liang would be proud of you! After he's done making fun of you!)

[Ryong]

Ah yes, Ranger's wife, whoops. Too bad it doesn't work, it'd be funny.

[Verifiedz]

it appears animals are much harder to kill now cause of crit hits. and i got a disease from raw chicken.im fucking screwed

[Aldurin]

Don't eat raw chicken.

[Marc v4.0]

Don't eat raw chicken.

That's pretty much a general life rule, honestly

[Fifthfiend]

So re: my earlier posts to doc I totally got all SIR, THOV HAS QUESTIONED MY MINECRAFT-HONOR, HARRUMPH, SIR, THOV, HARRUMPH but basically all I am trying to say is like really I don't ask a whole lot for running the server except that you all continue to be generally be good players and build pretty/clever/interesting stuff and have a good time, and I mean like I really honestly don't expect people to have to go out of their way to thank me for nothin' - cause I mean believe me if I expected you to thank me, I would tell you! I would be like HEY FUCKERS, THANK ME. (But for the people who did thank me earlier - thanks! that was really nice of you guys to say)

But like I do ask that you just like, generally bear in mind that the person who provides this server for minecraft and who has spent dozens if not hundreds of hours workin' on minecraft and researching minecraft all to provide you the player with more and better minecraft, probably knows a bit about minecraft, and if there is something I am askin' about regarding minecraft it is probably for good reason and done with a fair amount of prior thought regarding the topic of minecraft.

But so yeah really that's where I was coming from with that, Doc I'm sorry if that was a bit much and I hope there are no hard feelings.

THAT IS ALL

anyway regarding when the server will update to 1.8(.1)

Basically at the moment we are waiting on Bukkit (http://www.bukkit.org) our modified minecraft server software, to update. I don't anticipate doing anything like we did with 1.7 where I just ran the server off of standard minecraft, because 1.7 involved like, MEGABUGZ and there was a straight week where the bukkit people couldn't even work on updating their program because they didn't know what was goin' on.

At the moment it's taken longer than expected but the bukkit guys are working on it. My personal guess would be there'll probably be something out tomorrow or this weekend. Anyone who wants to follow their progress themselves check out the bukkit twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/craftbukkit) or keep an eye on their changelog (http://ci.bukkit.org/job/dev-CraftBukkit/changes).

Incidentally one idea i'm vaguely kicking around is startin' up some kind of separate test server to run like, crashy versions of minecraft or test new plugins on before they go live, I'll probably let you know if/when I do anything like that (I may not let you know at all, I may choose to keep it TOPP SIKKRETT).

[Fifthfiend]

Oh yeah uh, BOLT, REGARDING THIS TOWER YOU ARE WORKIN ON

like uh... it is real super close to my bank, like... a two-block distance between structures. I was gonna ask you if it'd be cool to maybe move it over just like, a block or two, but then on the other side that puts you right on top of the walkway up to grim's place.

WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO DO THIS TOWER IN ANOTHER LOCATION, I do not know that existing structures make this a good location for new-tower placement. Get back to me!

[Aldurin]

Probably best to leave a sign for him, I don't think Bolt checks the forums.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

ALRIGHT, FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, HERE'S MY POLICIES REGARDING TOWN SPACES:

1) KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID: It isn't that hard to create a structure that can satisfy all the needs of Survival Multiplayer that doesn't require hollowing out an entire mountain or digging a 20x20 hole down to the bedrock. Doubly so with the addition of community services like communal mineshafts, lava disposals, and resource farms. We only have so much space in the town center to spare, and I'd prefer to keep it looking semi coherent.

2) IF YOU MUST BUILD, USE YOUR BRAIN: Don't try to build a sprawling multi-z level superstructure in the middle of town. We have a shitload of map space and is it really too hard to explore around a little? If you happen to get into a misadventure while exploring, let the mods know and we'll try to help.

In retrospect, it seems stupid of me as an OP to update my game and thus cut off the town I'm running but on the other hand ADVENTURE!

[Aerozord]

just curious, anyone else have this concern that released minecraft will have some, fundamental mechanical changes that break/unbalances/invalidates/ect just about every single mod to the point they modders might as well start all over. So by that I mean that instead of about a week or two before mods are updated we get like a month or even ones that are scrapped

[Aldurin]

You have to admit they are mods for a game in the beta stage . . .

IDK it's not like mods don't get scrapped as it is. It seems like if something is decently popular and whoever developed it makes the source code available, someone else will eventually come along and pick the project up whereever it left off.

I'll be quite honest with ya folks here on this one: 1.8.1 kinda renders a lot of fluff and flavor mods rather pointless and unnecessary workload tryin to fix. I'm currently runnin a small 'nilla server for some friends of mine and here's what I'd summarize as (not entirely needed but handy to have) things:

Permissions, yeahhh there's permissionsbukkit but that shit is so jacked up stupid it ain't worth using.
Disabling creepers.
Disabling endermen. Fuckers moving blocks pisses me off somethin fierce.


Other than that, setting a player on creative mode takes care of the whole unslightly-once-mountain-now-uglyass-eyesore-of-a-pit thing. I'm just waiting for the mod-API system to be implemented and I can shit all over that bloated system hogging pile called bukkit as a formal goodbye.

[Marc v4.0]

And Wireless Redstone

[Aldurin]

Yeah, we need to have no endermen. Thadius might go on another rage-high if they mess with his stuff.

[Nikose Tyris]

Needed Option: Non-hostility from all monsters if wearing a pumpkin on your head.

Needed Monster: Doppelgangers that spoof the appearance of another player, with a pumpkin on their head.

[Fifthfiend]

Permissions, yeahhh there's permissionsbukkit but that shit is so jacked up stupid it ain't worth using.

Every version of Bukkit I've used has been, plugin functionality aside, a flatly better-performing, smoother, more stable, less error-prone version of whichever comparable version of the standard Minecraft server software.

[BitVyper]

Yeah, it's amazing how much better everything gets the instant we're on bukkit.

[Aerozord]

I was talking with Fifth the other day, what I want most of all, though I think you'd need minecraft itself to include it, is a way to easily handle mods and toggle which are on and off with those settings linked to a given world. I understand some mods have the ability to turn stuff on and off, but its not too user friendly and not all have it. Rather not have 5 copies of the jar file I have to keep swapping.

Even if that wasn't an issue I'd want it tied to the maps, so I dont have to manual change them every single time.

[Fifthfiend]

SO

As I'm still waiting on bukkit, I went ahead and switched over to 1.8 running the standard server.

GO AHEAD AN GIVE IT A TRY

callin this a junk map for nowz

[Marc v4.0]

callin this a junk map for nowz

Oh how quickly we forget

[Flarecobra]

Mobs on or off?

[Grimpond]

just logged in for 10 seconds, said hi to mag, then got DC'd

back on

Now I'm getting some bad block-lag, can't get blocks to break

[Fifthfiend]

mobs on, creative enabled, i'm going to destroy the map every so often so you fucks don't get attached to your shit and make me keep it foreverandever

[Aerozord]

if possible, I want our 1.8 map to be an enderman filled nightmare that makes the nether seem pleasant

[Fifthfiend]

Endermen don't really seem very nightmarish imo :(

I don't know if it's a game bug or a setting (difficulty level?) or what but like they don't attack unless you hit 'em otherwise they kinda just hang around taking it easy and getting killed by water or sun or fire.

They don't seem to even teleport which is really lame.

[Fifthfiend]

My ideal setup is for Endermen to teleport but not aggro so like you'll look outside your window and see endermen out there and then they'll just be all up in your house going oh hey don't mind me, just thought i'd stop by and hang out, hope you don't mind if I pick up this block here.

[Fifthfiend]

Basically I want them to be the Kramers of Fiendcraft.

(Creepers are the George Costanzas of Fiendcraft)

(Slimes are the Newmans)

[Aerozord]

I was assuming endermen worked as advertised. Saw video of them agro properly, though the teleporting not so much, which is abit of a killer since they are so big they cant really get to you otherwise

[Melfice]

They did work as advertised in 1.8.
Maybe 1.8.1 broke them?

I mean, I haven't been able to manipulate the sun in Creative mode either.

[Marc v4.0]

Grim got teleported to and killed when He attacked an Enderman i was leading to the river, so they work just fine.

[Flarecobra]

I saw Endermen teleporting...

And it's funny if you get a skeleton to shoot an Enderman.

Finally... Notch, what the fuck? (http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/114646532376113152)

I'm more interested in the mushroomy biome that fills the background view

Also, the mooshrooms can be sheared off

[Grimpond]

Man, fuck those guys, they can teleport! I wasn't even aiming for him!!

Speaking of, if anyone finds one of those mushroom biomes anywhere on the server (are they actually even in the game yet? IDK) let me know the coordinates I for reals wanna see that.

[CitizenZ]

I havent found a mushroom biome in this or my other server, but if you want a giant mushroom, use bonemeal on a small one.

EDIT: makes a good insta-base. because skelies shouldnt be able to shoot up there and the ledge blocks spiders.

[Flarecobra]

Apperentally, the Mushroom Kingdom will be added in 1.9. (Not the offical name. Just felt approprate.

[Marc v4.0]

Yes, like with 1.8

[Doc ock rokc]

let me see if I get this right, they are releasing the beta, of a beta version?

The correct term is Alpha or Pre-beta (depending on how many development cycles)

[Fifthfiend]

let me see if I get this right, they are releasing the beta, of a beta version?

I agree that it's fun to mock but it still owns because it means when 1.9 for-real comes out it'll be functional instead of immediately crashing everyone's games and servers and such.

Don't care much for the floating island, but damn... that little bridge/dock looks beyond awesome. What are those? Pressure pads? As they say in the LEGO community: NPU (or Nice Parts Usage)

The idea of chaining it up looks very nice as well.

[Marc v4.0]

Thanks.

When Minecraft gets stabilized on a version for long enough, my server project will be to attach a broken chain to the side of a mountain, and a floating island a few chunks away with the other half of the broken links

Yeah, pressure pads. When put on top of fences, they lift you up like you are walking on a slab so it can be a little funny. I wish they would stay after if I removed the fences.

[Verifiedz]

[Kerensky287]

Oh, what a joke. Go Holographic or go home.

...I understand it may be difficult to outfit a pirate ship with a holographic sight because 1) a pirate ship is not a gun and 2) minecraft does not support holographic sights.

Red dot sight would probably be easier.

Now to work on turning the ship into some kind of firearm.

[Marc v4.0]

HUD Augment is what gets the ladies all hot and bothered

[Verifiedz]

im talking about call of duty black ops. otherwise holographic and heartbeat sensor
omg i shud but a heartbeat sensor on our pirate ship

[Verifiedz]

Here is my call of duty black ops pirate ship. It has the front view with a reflex sight and my clan tag on the flag. The side view is just the side. The one on top of the ship is the captains quarters. And the one in the basement is the dungeon.

[Marc v4.0]

Where is the button to spawn camp?

[Doc ock rokc]

Where is the button to spawn camp?

Ctrl F U

[Verifiedz]

lol. im hoping to add a heartbeat sensor soon

[Melfice]

Could be well possible with a shitload of pressure plates and redstone torches/pistons.

A pressure plate that's walked on sends a signal to either a redstone torch on a grid, or a grid of pistons.
Mind you, it'd be stupidly easy for "enemies" to avoid, but hey.

[Flarecobra]

Now to work on turning the ship into some kind of firearm.

Have you SEEN the Piller of Oster? That thing's a floating series of guns. And a drill. That is on fire. With Disturbing Face Link sails. And a Yodadog.

But yeah, made it home ok here, still awaiting my own internet connection, for those who were wondering about me.

[Verifiedz]

i ment just a model....

[Marc v4.0]

Oh, yeah, part 2 of prerelease dropped today, including a couple of alchemy items in addition to the bottles we had seen before. Also includes a ton of new records.

[Melfice]

Also, Jens updated his Twitter with the message that the potions may, very likely, be delayed.

[EVILNess]

Notch announced magic items and showed an enchanting table.

SCORE

[Verifiedz]

eh

[Marc v4.0]

eh

Highly descriptive and informative

[Doc ock rokc]

Guh i go on the sever and nearly everything is lava covered.... Seriously the guy who did that annoys me...also what will Magic do?

[Melfice]

Miracles.

Don't worry, I started covering the map in water to counter it.

Well that still leaves us with a lot of cobble/obsidian.

[Doc ock rokc]

meh we are in creative for now. So a swift backhand will send it back to its maker

[Aerozord]

ok I know we have monsters and portals to hell, but I was among those that wanted minecraft to take less of a magic route and more of a tech route as it progressed.

[Marc v4.0]

You can tell the people that came to the MC show later in the development, because Notch talked a great deal very very very early on about working magic and the like into the game when He had the time.

It isn't really a huge surprise at all, I've been waiting on this stuff for a long time.

[Aldurin]

what about magic AND technology? just take minecraft's normal magic focus and add all of those industrial mods.

[Verifiedz]

I've been playing on servers with my friends so I haven't been on lately.sorry. And I turned on auto correct on my ipod

[Flarecobra]

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Hey Fifth, what version of Minecraft is Fiendcraft currently running on? I tried it on 1.8v2 but got a bad client message and 1.8v1 keeps either taking too long to log in or giving me bad login errors.

[Doc ock rokc]

we are using normal 1.8

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Using the one here (http://www.minecraftforum.net/news/214-want-to-play-18-early-heres-how/) I'm getting "takes too long to log in" errors still.

[Melfice]

Shy, 1.8 is officially released.
We're currently on the 1.9 pre-release.

So, update that shit, and get craftin'!

EDIT: At least, I'm assuming Fifth's on the proper 1.8(.1?) release...

[Doc ock rokc]

dont worry i fixed it for shy

Here we have a nice little Chicken Breeding Area. Isn't it Lovely.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4549162/2011-10-03_17.01.38.png

Step One in our Chicken Goodness Extraction Process is to turn on the flushing system and open the Flush Gate.

[Doc ock rokc]

How do you get the food?

[Aldurin]

That's where magic comes in.

[Aerozord]

mmm pressed chicken under glass

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Does this operation produce eggs as well? It's not very efficient if it doesn't produce more eggs for later too.

[Marc v4.0]

The food gathers neatly into your inventory if you step into the corner made by the glass and wall.

I have a different farm for getting eggs. These chickens come from a combination of breeding and egg tossing for the sole function of making delicious foods and feathers.

They can produce eggs that flush into the system or stay in the Ranch area, and you can pick those up as well, and they tend to pile up because the Ideal Chicken Density is much larger then what is shown in the demo pictures.

[Melfice]

Personally, I'd have figured out a way to involve fire.
Flaming chickens = Cooked chicken.

But very inventive, indeed!

EDIT: Netherrack at the bottom of the pit! Pistons are then rendered optional, but I don't see why you wouldn't want to keep using those.
EDIT AGAIN: Hmm... Netherrack extinguishes when a piston moves a block directly above it and doesn't re-ignite (not sure why I thought it would, actually). =/ Shame.
In single-player, I guess you could use the Better Than Wolves mod and use its Hibachi block. That can be toggled on and off.

[Flarecobra]

So, new mobs in 1.9....

Blaze, who will spawn in the Nether. (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Blaze)

Magma Cube, who spawn in Nether Ruins (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Magma_Cube)

Snow Golem... a mob you build yourself, and is allied to you. (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Snow_Golem)

[Marc v4.0]

You guys seriously need to keep up. Goddamn that hasn't been news for almost 2 weeks.

Fire destroys drops, you'd have to have enough room for them to maybe flee. No reason to fix what isn't broken. Also I wouldn't use BTW if you paid me.

[Verifiedz]

In 1.9 will we have a survival world too? Cause Working Ender Pearls are the best

[Doc ock rokc]

Oh man...I found out a fantastic way to clear out water.
First you build in a checkerboard fasion like this
7818
I find building off or torches to be faster then off of dirt.
Then on the Small groups you place a single lava
7819
and pick it back up (in survival) and it will fall and clear out all the water leaving you to continue onward

[Fifthfiend]

In 1.9 will we have a survival world too? Cause Working Ender Pearls are the best

Yeah whenever the server ever gets properly set up again there'll be a creative and a survival world.

[Verifiedz]

Can my friend dj2317 join? hes not like froobeh, dont worry he isnt obstructive. Im fine if he doesnt, im just wondering

[Doc ock rokc]

OK I'm REALLY getting tired of the fucking Lava spammer!
Every where i go something gets another fuckign coat of lava.
Seriously I clean up a area only for it to be covered again. IM TIRED OF IT!

That's the first floor.

Put torches down and then pick them up wherever that glitch appears, should fix it.

wonder if you had finite water on if that would actually happen

[Melfice]

wonder if you had finite water on if that would actually happen

It quite possibly would, yes.
If the rain actually touched down, instead of being a graphical glitch.

[Marc v4.0]

1.9 prerelease 3 dropped today, brewing and enchanting included. Some other strange items and things sitting around. very confusing.

[Verifiedz]

It doesn't work on creative......hey fifth can we have a survival world with give commands for 1.9?

[Doc ock rokc]

OK I am not happy. My stuff has been lavaed twice and now one of my larger projects was bombed...Needless to say Someone is going to pay.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

I propose that on the new map creative mode/give permissions be restricted to admins only. This server has clearly proven it cannot be trusted with unlimited lava/TNT/whatever.

[Aldurin]

It is supposed to be a temp map, so it was to be expected.

[Flarecobra]

And since someone's been burning down other people's projects...

[BitVyper]

Fifth and I have both pretty much been telling people to do whatever the fuck on this map, so it's not really a matter of what works and what doesn't. That said, recall that Fifth does usually keep TNT turned off on the bukkitserver. We've had creative worlds where everyone had /item that worked perfectly fine.

For my part, I've just been underground netherportalling to get a bit of distance.

The pointed lavadouching is kind of douchey, but I'm not real committed to having a problem with it at this point.

[Marc v4.0]

It is supposed to be a temp map, so it was to be expected.

Pretty much we aren't supposed to be giving a real fuck about this map cause it is vanishing as soon as things catch up.

Jump in the Nether and travel for 5 minutes then Portal out and build crap wherever you land. Problem Solved


ONE MORE THING:

mobs on, creative enabled, i'm going to destroy the map every so often so you fucks don't get attached to your shit and make me keep it foreverandever

AND FURTHER:

Enderdragons. Currently untextured, but they will be a monster that inhabits The Ender with more Endermen and black skies and such.

http://imgur.com/a/59H3o

[Doc ock rokc]

Its not a matter of keeping things My big project is LITERALLY a hole in the middle of the sea. It's a matter of principle we should not alow someone lava/blow up anyone elses work willy nilly

[BitVyper]

Lava dude was someone who tried to grief the server ages ago, so I just banned him.

[Marc v4.0]

[Fifthfiend]

there is now a test server! it is at test.fiendcraft.net

currently i'm using the 1.8 edition of bukkit with the phoenix terrain gen mod enabled on an alt world.

edit: got a basic portal up from the default world to the phoenix gen world, should be easy enough to find from spawn.

I should really set phoenixworld to creative mode, hmm.

anyway i'm gonna be using this server to fiddle around until i've got a working bukkit install going again then i'll move that back over to the main server. Then this server will be for... idk, whatever i guess.

[CitizenZ]

I tried to connect to test server, it said "connection refused".

[Fifthfiend]

Weird, it could be a nameserver issue.

Try 67.222.153.208 instead of the url

[Fifthfiend]

no,weirdsville, the server shut itself down for some reason.

It's back up.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Do server permissions need to be redone? I tried using /i and it said I didn't have permission.

[Verifiedz]

Sorry to be a bother but could you also whitelist sam99piche

[Aldurin]

I can't even dig on the test server, what's going on with it?

[stefan]

I played one of the older versions of minecraft on my old laptop and I just installed it on this one. however, every time I try to run it, it runs for about ten minutes before crashing and giving me a "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005)" error.

any ideas whats up with it? google gives me no conclusive answers.

[Doc ock rokc]

Did you buy the game recently?
Did you try the minecraft support forum?
Hell did you try just re downloading the software?

[Melfice]

That's a Java error. Try reinstalling/updating Java and see if that fixes your problem.

[Fifthfiend]

IT'S BEEN DOWN, MY BADDDD

It is a test server, so you can actually probably generally expect it to be pretty irregular. I will try to do a better job of letting you guys know when I'm shutting it down.

Do server permissions need to be redone? I tried using /i and it said I didn't have permission.

Yeah I have to redo the permissions because one plugin got discontinued so i'm switching to another one.

[Fifthfiend]

Okay so currently the deal is:

Main server is back to running Infernum! Ferny ferny fernum. Other worlds will follow.

Say goodbye to the junk world! It was junk, it's been junked.

For the time being, I am asking that you DO NOT engage in major exploration/new chunk spawning on Infernum, I'd like us to hold off on that until 1.9 when biomes will be fixed.

I am working out what to do about a creative world on the main server. If you want to dick around in creative mode go to the test server and take the portal near spawn to phoenixworld. Same rules apply as to the junk creative mode map, test server stuff may be gone at any time.

EDIT: Also /sethome and /home are currently enabled on the main server.

ALSO also the Nether is currently enabled for Infernum. Whatever nether is currently there should be considered temporary I'll be copying in the old Infernum map at some point.

[Verifiedz]

I figured out how to make a sliding door with regular pistons! It was really hard

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifth, I want my OP powers back :(

[Doc ock rokc]

DON"T GIVE THEM BACK FIFTH SHE'LL KILL US A

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

I really don't like this new lighting system. And combined with the lack of a fog shortcut it makes seeing anything really difficult at times, especially in my deepest mines.

Oh and Fifth, any chance of turning that booster rail booster back on?

[Marc v4.0]

The fog you encounter way down at the bottom of the map isn't regular fog that you can adjust.

And the regular fog levels are adjusted directly in the menu

[Aldurin]

The void fog is cool and there's nothing you can do to get rid of it.

[Fifthfiend]

Oh and Fifth, any chance of turning that booster rail booster back on?

Yeah it's def. on the list.

[Aldurin]

Request that you don't kill pheonix world since the terrain gen there is badass off the charts.

[Fifthfiend]

If I kill it it'll be to make it better.

[Aldurin]

If I kill it it'll be to make it better.

I will hold you to that promise SO HARD.

The terrain gen mod is pretty fucking nuts, so far I've only really poked at what it can do.

One more bad thing about cobblestone generators.

[akaSM]

Can that thing be turned into a fish squid bowl?

[Aerozord]

I know this is old news, but I just have to get it out of my head. You know whats the one thing they added to the game I thought was a bad idea?

Rain

hear me out. I do like the realism, what it adds to the game, but its an "in practice" thing. You know how when you want to do work outside you pretty much always have to wait till day? Rain makes it so you have to wait even longer, because it keeps all the mobs alive. Unlike night you cant just sleep, but even if you couldn't it lasts so freakin long it can start raining before dawn, and rain through the entire day with absolutely no way to get around it. It turns your ten minute wait till dawn into a 20min, hey better luck next time

I bring this up not because I hate the idea of it, but because of how often I've been stuck in my house because it decided to downpour.

[Flarecobra]

It makes flowers and grass grow, and it keeps down the number of forest fires.

And who keeps putting that water in the spawn area?

[Marc v4.0]

We need to get some hunger turned on and such

[Aerozord]

It makes flowers and grass grow, and it keeps down the number of forest fires.

I dont have accidental fires often enough that randomly generating weather affects them. While tall grass is nice I find it visually displeasing, as for flowers, you sure? I never noticed it. But thats an effect of rain, you could just as easily remove the rain and apply its generation algorithm to flower/grass growth.

Though the rain itself isn't the issue. Its how freakin long it lasts and the fact it shuts down my activities. One reason it never puts out a forest fire is because why would I be messing with fire while its raining? i wouldn't mess with it inside my house (well no wooden part) and I wouldn't be running around outside period

[Marc v4.0]

Well, not like we can do anything at all about it.. If you're worried so much about monsters and Night interrupting your work, play on peaceful. Problem solved.

Part of playing Survival is dealing with the challenges, and weather not being in your favor is one of them

[Fifthfiend]

I will hold you to that promise SO HARD.

Hop on the test server right now, and see if you wanna call me a liar.

[BitVyper]

It makes flowers and grass grow, and it keeps down the number of forest fires.

It's there because people were getting set on fire by the portal.

I guess it can be removed now.

I guess.

I guess

Oh god, he's crying. I can tell.

yes but its not a challenge, its just a "put the game on pause" action. I have no issue dealing with monsters, I like a challenge. I dont find the rain more challenging, its easier then straight up night, I just find it annoying.

Just expressing my annoyance, obviously not a deal breaker for me, and actually I do like rain with finite water on. But in vanilla I just think it takes away more then it adds.

Endermen moving blocks is there too. Not really threatening, just annoying.

[Aldurin]

Hop on the test server right now, and see if you wanna call me a liar.

I still want to bitch at you out of habit.

And it's still not awesome enough because you haven't kidnapped a modder and forced him to make a height-raiser mod yet.

[Fifthfiend]

Next I'm gonna make one where the effective "ground" level is like, 12, and then cap the height it gens shit at to maybe 1t0.

Maybe tweak the ore generation to make it a little more prevalent, maybe make it so diamonds spawn only at the TOP of the map.

Yeah that could be something.

See if I can make a HUGE desert biome with like splotches of ultraoceanmountainsrainforest between them.

[Aerozord]

I still want to bitch at you out of habit.

And it's still not awesome enough because you haven't kidnapped a modder and forced him to make a height-raiser mod yet.

a modder already did that, but its one thing to get a mod, another to make it work with bukkit

[Aldurin]

Find the modder, and get me his security situation.

[Fifthfiend]

SO, apparently there is a pretty sweet mod that makes treecutting work the way it does in Terraria where you knock out the bottom block and they all come down. I'm leaning heavily towards installing that since trees with the bottom two blocks missing are a plague on existence but fully cutting down trees is a pain in the ass.

Also I'm probably gonna turn hunger on BUT I am also probably gonna put in some kind of like, make-trees-drop-apples plugin because I am a baby and I play Minecraft the babies way, non-babies who want to play minecraft for real can just not eat the apples I guess.

ALSO ALSO I am getting seriously to work on the city subway system! I would actually like to propose to convert the area under Town Square into a central transit hub, SHYRIA: let me know what you think about doin' this.

ALSO ALSO ALSO I would totally reinstall the Minecart booster mod we've been using but the guy who writes it has taken an extended hiatus! So I will have to see if I can find another plugin that provides similar functionality. EDIT: actually before that I should give it a run on the test server, it's possible that the switch to 1.8 didn't actually break it since it's not like said switch involved any changes to carts or anything (that I recall).

NatureOverhaul does both of those things. Allows you to topple trees easier and makes trees spawn apples and cocoa beans. It will also make saplings auto-plant and has settings that make trees and any other plant auto-die after a while.

I suggest going through and turning off all the auto-die stuff cause it gets resource intensive.


It also has settings for moss growth(Regular cobblestone to Mossy cobblestone when they are placed together), animal 'birthing'(spawning) rate and even climate specific growing rates.

[Flarecobra]

I say yes to that. Because GOD DAMN IT'S FUCKING HARD TO FIND ANIMALS FOR MY BUTCHER'S!

[Fifthfiend]

I say yes to that. Because GOD DAMN IT'S FUCKING HARD TO FIND ANIMALS FOR MY BUTCHER'S!

Yeah, supposedly animal husbandry is gonna get more interesting/functional in 1.9, you'll be able to like, tame them and have them be persistent the way dogs are and such.


...You know on a credit-where-due note:

https://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/116186387878920193

By the way, I will nerf the endermen block carrying. It was a horrible idea.

Good for him for saying so.

(now if only he'd admit the same thing about breaking cart boosters)

EDIT: I think what i'm most excited for in 1.9 is the prospect of a change to the rain sound, DEAR GOD let that finally be made tolerable to listen to.

[Flarecobra]

FYI: Spiders can easily get over that fence.

[Fifthfiend]

Yeah there's an ongoing project to spiderproof it with extensions, you'll see them here and there, it's just a bit spotty.

It's not like spider invasions are a huge problem or anything so it hasn't been prioritized I guess.

[Flarecobra]

Well, I almost got raped by 3 spiders in the town today.

[Marc v4.0]

Optifine, the alternative to the MCPatcher, has lots of menu-accessed tools to adjust your graphical settings. I have rain turned off, so I don't see or hear it even when it is.

[Fifthfiend]

Well, I almost got raped by 3 spiders in the town today.

Haha yeah I guess you are right up next to the fence, so. I built the fence up a little by you this morning and put some spidercatchers along the top, it's not complete but it should help.

Optifine, the alternative to the MCPatcher, has lots of menu-accessed tools to adjust your graphical settings. I have rain turned off, so I don't see or hear it even when it is.
