So, I'm running a vanilla server (posting in correct thread, go me) and I keep finding chunks that refuse to update. I'll be able to break a block or place a block in it, and I'll get the block, but the graphics in the region won't update (or, if I placed something, it'll be placed with transparent sides that let me look through the world.) This cannot stand. Every place I find where I want to build, I find out that half the building won't update while I'm trying to adjust lighting or the carpet or whatever. What can I do?

Jervas Dudley posted:The last time I constructed a rail station, it had 16 destinations. Each destination had a booster big enough for the return. I'm probably going to start a new server with friends a little after 1.8 launches and realizing that unless every track is two lane there's no point to a large powered rail section at the station since there has to be enough boost for the return trip on every track anyway. Though I'm trying out a 2 lane design that shares powered rail sections. Sharing sections? Wouldn't you be concerned about collisions about sections in use by both directions of travel at the same time? Either way, yes, cartboosted rail may have been easier to manage construction-wise, but powered rail is simple enough that you just add some on and it works. My latest railwork is for a somewhat smaller server than usual (most of the guys on it have dropped out for League of Legends or Terraria), so this time I decided to mix it up a bit and just make a two-lane loop around between our various home bases, one clockwise, the other counterclockwise. You get where you're going quickly enough, even stopping at each station and pushing the continue button, barring one segment that has to cross under the bay because one guy had to build on an island in his own neighborhood. You may want to consider something like that for local travel.

You may want to make sure that java's up to date on your machine, if you're getting crashes like that just running the straight-up vanilla game.

Kin posted:Oh, are there mods to make things like the pickaxe have infinite health? I prefer the way Terraria did things with the tools in that you could use one forever, but they ranged from really weak to being super strong. There's mods for everything, but they're fairly often gigantic pains in the rear end. Here's the goon thread on Minecraft mods, though it fairly often descends into madness and Yogscast sycophancy. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3430195 My advice would be to play it straight for a while---after an hour or two of play, you'll be swimming in enough iron to make as many picks as you'll need to mine out a ton of diamond---diamond picks easily last long enough to find enough diamond for even more diamond picks.

Lazyfire posted:piston elevator That is a genius design. So genius I immediately had to run to my SMP server and build one of my own. Unfortunately, I am apparently an inveterate fuckup, and can't build it correctly. Sadness. Somehow the pistons fall out of sync and I end up with situations where the pistons will all be pushing (or all but one will be pushing for no clear reason) blocks of empty air. I will have to rewatch the video and look for what I did wrong when I am not as tired as I currently am.

Lazyfire posted:I had that set of issues at first as well. I found not using any repeaters kept things going well. If you make it taller than say, six blocks the torches will act as repeaters and keep things in line. It's important that before the elevator starts that the top two pistons are ON and the bottom right/pushing up piston has nothing above it. Wait, the top two need to be on? I thought all four had to be off before the clock starts, hence the top-row torch in the 6-high? (I'm building the 6-high first since that's the size I'd be using anyway, then installing an identical one in the building.) (I have pretty bad hearing---too many amplifiers---so if you mentioned it in the video and I missed it, my bad.)

CoderCat posted:I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find anything in search. I'm new to the game. I learned how to mine and craft stuff in single player. However, when I join a multiplayer server, I can't mine anything. People told me in chat that I needed to find an unclaimed land. I walked around for hours, found pieces of land that looked empty, but was never able to break or mine anything. I can't find anything online about claiming lands either. What am I missing? Also, certain servers are configured such that they require that your username is placed on the oplist before you can dig.

crazylakerfan posted:Same. Thirded. Honestly, I love Minecraft, and I like having monsters around, even Creepers, but silverfish, no, my heart can't take it. I'm not in this game to be scared when something jumps out at me, and I'm definitely not in it to have my mining interrupted by things coming out of the walls. Is it only when a block is destroyed by a tool or would any destruction cause the fuckers to come out? Forget about TNT, then, and if a Creeper gets you, even if you survive, HERE COME THE SILVERFISH. Or, hey, let's say you want to knock down a wall in your living room and connect it directly to the dining room? OH poo poo SILVERFISH. What is it with the mobs that Notch wants to add in the upcoming updates being ones that explicitly make the fact that your home/castle/walled-off cave/hovel/tower/whatever no longer a safe place? Between this and teleporting Endermen that can get behind your castle walls, even if you outrun them, there's rapidly little point to even HAVING a safe space other than a tiny room with a bed to make night go away and day come again.

waffle posted:I get what you guys are saying, and I think it would be nice if Notch had a "semi-Peaceful" mode with a few monsters, but not the more destructive ones, but I play on a SMP server with a few of my friends, and it sounds really fun for us to have to watch our poo poo/rebuild stuff every once in a while when we're not careful. Otherwise a world gets pretty stagnant after a few weeks, I think. This is fair---I can't say I 100% agree, but that's just different play philosophies: I prefer to build in such a way that there will be no intrusion, and dislike rebuilding. It can lead to some stagnation, but the SMP server I've played on mostly has had serious lag problems leading to monsters ninjaing in and either killing you or blowing up all your poo poo before you can even see it, even if it's walking straight towards your face. As you say, you prefer to watch your stuff/and/or fix it when it's busted, when you're "not careful," but these mobs, as described thus far, punish even the careful player, by teleporting after you (presumably) even after you've reached safe ground, or by popping out of blocks in well-lit areas in what is presumed to be safe ground.

Vib Rib posted:Frantic pork in the middle of a battle was a terrible mechanic and the idea that anyone would now retroactively defend it is ludicrous Would you consider it ludicrous if people were defending healing potions or the like? Is it simply the fact that snacking on a porkchop breaks the verisimilitude of your game experience that leads you to this conclusion? Nevertheless, I do believe it is reasonable to have reactions to announced items. While the exact nature of some of these changes are obviously not useful to debate until such time as the release hits and they can be properly spaded, obviously some of these announcements are going to cause a reaction; 'holy poo poo bugs are going to leap out of blocks we break' being one, and 'holy poo poo the only healing items we've had in the game to this point are no longer going to be useful in combat unless you're completely full' being another, both totally reasonable things to react to. An acquaintance of mine put these changes together into one fairly succinct reaction, stating, basically, that Notch wants to make Minecraft a roguelike.

Dumb question time - So I launch my 1.8 server, and it immediately starts bitching at me NOT ENOUGH RAM, and reels off the -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M modifiers, so I build a shortcut with the command line as indicated, but now it won't even start, and because modern Windows OSes can't deal with having command windows open anymore, god forbid, I can't even see what goes wrong when the command window flickers on the screen for about five frames. Is there a special thing I should do with the shortcut that I'm not seeing, or what?

Lord Dangleberry posted:I just ate the rotten zombie meat the first night, which there is plenty of. Other than turning your food bar green, it seems to have no adverse effects. I do believe I've figured out what goes on with the zombie meat and the green hungerbar---I obviously haven't spaded it all out because I can't be bothered with that poo poo, but just by staring really hard at the thing, I believe that the green hungerbar means you got indigestion or something, and the hungerbar drains faster...which can be fixed by eating more zombie meat. It still fills you up, you just remain full for a much shorter time.

Two things: First, for me, Java 7 did not fix my out-of-memory issues, though it does look like MC is running a bit smoother when not lagspiking. With Notch's supposed fix, maybe things'll be back to normal. Secondly, I just tried dicking around with Creative last night, and I figured I'd ask a question before possibly making a bad decision: If I drop the new stone bricks into a structure in creative and then, later, in survival, break one of those blocks open, would I get silverfish? Like, are silverfish preloaded into strongholds or the blocks that make up strongholds? I really don't want to ever see silverfish.

Just hopped into a 1.9 game to see if worldgen was broken yet---seeds still match 1.8. On the downside, NPCs are now inhabiting the villages that, on the SMP server I host, we all borrowed houses from, knocked the walls out and built bigger houses out of. And they're too weird-lookin' for me to kill, I just kinda want to not be around them. Ever. At all.
