Gorilla Salad posted:The way to work water it to make an outline of the shape of your pond one block deep. Fill it up with water - using a 2x2 grid of water will give you infinite water to fill your buckets. Yeah, I have my 2x2 source close by to refill, but it's a natural largish hole. Most of it has been fine but it keeps getting weird current patterns in it, even when it IS a source block surrounded by other source blocks.

Arkitektbmw posted:Emailed. I tried getting on the last chain you did but...yeah...dickbag. Still love ya though, in a non-homo way. Anyways, in order to help with the mod conflicting and stuff you really should generate a massive bit of land. I've got Yogbox on so I'm sure I'll have to revert to non-yog but still it'd be helpful to have most of the map pre-generated. Emailed, too. It'll be interesting to see how that works out, because I'm vanilla (aside from optifine). I assume that it'll work out just fine until a chunk with non-vanilla-items is loaded? Or will the level not load at all if it exists on the map? VVVVV - Thats not so bad. Rack fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Aug 11, 2011 |

FactsAreUseless posted:I've been having a very odd problem: Minecraft runs like poo poo on my laptop (not odd). But when I press F3 to bring up the coordinates and whatnot, my FPS shoots way up. Does anybody have any idea why this happens, or how I can get Minecraft to run properly and still have access to my entire screen? I've run into the same problem on my pc* from time to time and it does the same thing. I always assumed that the game shifting into neutral. On a menu, the player cant be moving to load/unload chunks. I'm saying this metaphorically, I dont know exactly what's going on under the hood. * - Running dual monitors; full screen movie on one and full screen minecraft on the other. Usually its ok, but if I try to stop minecraft to get to vlc player the whole thing crashes hard.

I joined Penislandia and was flying around for about an hour and didn't see a single person, its so big.. There's a few of us on the Evercraft Goon Server. It's sorta low-population but there's no whitelist so we get a few pubbies in. It's chill and friendly. Or, there's the Goonimati server which gets a lot of people, but it's more about secrecy, death and destruction rather than building. If that's more your thing, this is the place.

Hadlock posted:On a side-note, I'm a little concerned about the size and shapes of the continents. While bigger, deeper oceans are really exciting, this seems to really break the spirit of large SMP servers who have traditionally had large, semi-connected landmasses. I don't know about other people, but I find the SMP servers to be the core experience of Minecraft. I think oceans are the right way to go, but from the 20-30 min of video I've seen so far, rail or nether links between the continents will be difficult and the fairly small islands (build spaces/user territories tend to be 150x150 blocks in the flat areas) don't seem conductive to large communities building in easily navigable areas. As someone pointed out on the server I play on, "I like walking in one direction and stumbling upon new build areas other people are working on". It's nice to look out and not see anything on the horizon, but perhaps the continents are too small/skinny, and too broadly spaced apart? I watched Notch fly in one direction for about 2 minutes (faster than rail speed, that's about 1km or 1000 blocks) and didn't see him fly near a large continent the entire time. Only one to two small islands, perhaps 30x70 blocks in size. I dunno. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like the idea of large oceans to separate people. It gives a bit more of an explorer-feel to it, where you have to make a concerted effort (and a risk) to getting into a boat and travelling a great distance to a most likely uninhabited land. Or the sight of looking for uncharted land and seeing someone's massive gently caress-off castle on the shore. Granted, I think it'll be a slow burn for people to get off the main landmass and cross the waters but once it gets going I think there's a lot of potential for growth. I liked Wind Waker, and didn't mind spending forever in a boat, and I think this helps add to that feel. edit - Motorboats would be an awesome addition.

Krinkle posted:doesn't the sun rise in the north and set in the south? or why do all maps orient towards the east? Thank you for making my day. There's something weird about the map orientation; if you're holding a map in-game the top (logically north) is actually East, so the sun would rise in the north and set in the south. I don't know how or why that is. When I play, I still refer to directions based on sun and moon rise/set, regardless of what the map says. edit - Apparently, it's just "because they said so". From the wiki: quote:It is commonly said that Minecraft maps are oriented with East at the top. It is certainly true that they are oriented with the direction of sunrise at the top, which is, by definition, East. However, Jeb has asserted (and Notch agreed) that in Minecraft the Sun rises in the North. Most mods and map-making tools, however, use the terms East and North consistent with their actual definitions (e.g. a Cartographer generated map with North at the top will be rotated 90 degrees from the in-game map).

Instead of using Redstone to fuel sperging, you could create patterns with it and use it for fueling dark rituals. Runecraft is pretty cool for that.

^^^^ - What the hell is that? Mushroom cow? Out of curiousity, what happens if an enderman moves a chest? The 1.8 test server I'm playing on is changing a lot so I'm keeping very temporary residences. I can only really guess one of the following: 1) It can't move chests, full or empty. 2) It can move chests, but all the items fall out of it. 3) It can move chests, and all the items inside are retained. 4) The game crashes as soon as the chest comes off the ground, the world is corrupted, the server shits itself. Any info on this?

Are there any workarounds for the smp exp-orb issue? I may have been responsible for killing our test server when a creeper blew me up. Thankfully, it's just a test server and not the main one, but it still seems like a pretty big deal. Is there a way to flat-out disable exp? Would deleting that chunk fix things, or do we have to reset the world again? edit - I mean, "dont die ever" isn't really a viable fix for this issue.

Does anyone know how stronghold generation happens on preexisting maps? Our SMP server is using the same 1.7.3 map in 1.8.1 so there are new biomes/features, but not until a couple thousand blocks out. Everything around 0,0 has already been generated under older code; are we just SOL? edit - Also, whatever happened to Minecraft on Xbox? I cant find any details other than "its not a direct port" and "its coming out sometime".

Vargs posted:In my experience, this is the only way to build anything on goonimati. Something that would be so incredibly tedious to rip down, and so ugly in its original state anyways, that nobody would bother to do so. Pretty much this. When I played there, my base was just above bedrock, and only accessible by a ladder under 1 randomly chosen block on a tiny 4x5 island in the middle of the ocean. Good times though.

That's not a bad idea, really. The only thing I do that's close to this is play single player when our server is down just to play around with building and redstone designs, so that I can recreate it on the server when it's back up.

krushgroove posted:I loaded up my multiplayer world last night to check, my 'home' is right next to a swamp biome and there was no change to the colors. There was also no update, though, so I don't know how small changes like this are meant to work. The snapshot releases are like the pre-releases they did previously. They don't automatically update like the major releases do. Instead, you have to download the new jars manually. The obvious downside is that, in doing so, mods and plugins break so (I'd imagine) that most servers don't use them.

Zsinjeh posted:There was an agreement to not Branch-mine, I don't know the Minecraft lingo but I'm pretty sure digging in an angle straight down to bedrock wasn't agreed upon. Actually, Etho has a video specifically about branch-mining. It's not so much 'dig down to bedrock' as it is 'create hallways at y12 that span hundreds of blocks with varying hallways off of them'. It's sort of boring to watch, but a necessary evil if they're going to get gold or diamonds. My vote on most entertaining goes to Beef, for the whole debacle of going to the nether, realizing someone might be there, going back and ending up stuck at the bottom of someone elses base while kurt and Pause fight upstairs. Baj gets a close second place though for seemingly never breaking character.
