If I want to write lengthy missives to myself in the game, I just erect a huge smoothstone wall and spam the gently caress out of it with signs. It's kinda nice having a "Huge Stone Tablet" in lieu of common loving sense.

Kin posted:Made more headway. Now i have a bed! (and a first attempt at a mine down the back end of my expanded hovel. It took me a long time to get used to it but my current world is my first large scale building projects. I've built a nice fort for my home base, a cathedral (okay, large church), underwater garden, lighthouse complete with spiral pattern, Mt. Doom, and a huge castle with high walls. And now that I've done all that the hard way I've enabled cheats so that I can build ludicrous structures without hunting for materials for hours or quarrying out massive quantities of stone. Take your time with the base game to get a feeling for it and then once you're pleased with your accomplishments then it's time to break out those mods and just goof around with giant legos.

Kin posted:Cool, looking into installing the mods and whatever, then i'll jump on in. All SMP mods (at least on our server) are server side only. You don't need to install anything, but we do suggest Rei's minimap, but that is completely optional. If you have further questions about the server, post in the server's thread, don't want to clutter the main minecraft thread.

There's a tool that lets you put an arbitrary image (so if you want, text) on a 'map' that can be viewed by anyone, regardless of mods or across an SMP server, if you want to do that for adventure map making or something. Notch alluded to true text in books a while back but nothing more.

However, I seem to recall Notch mentioning that the same code used to make the maps may one day be utilized to create some kind of note system. When and if that will happen is anyone's guess.

Repeaters, note blocks, dyes, shears, world gen seeds, unlimited world saves, cakes, maps, leaf decay, 2 new trees, different terrain generation with underground and mountain ponds, powered and detector rails, and cookies. I started playing after the nether update so I might be missing some. Multiplayer has all the same features as singleplayer, including the nether.

Hobologist posted:He already has. Just write a note one kilometer wide on the ground and make a map of it. Actually, map data is stored separately from world chunks, and smart people have figured out that you can replace it entirely with an arbitrary image (albeit, with a really limited color palette.)

Notch said that it would be playable at PAX, but that they would use the feedback from PAX to tweak it and do some final bug test fixes before officially releasing it "about a week" after the convention. Considering that Seattle and Sweden are 12 hrs apart, a full day for travel back to Sweden the following monday, plus another 1-2 for jet lag only gives them 5 days for tweaks. Somewhere between Sept 5th-Sept 9th at the earliest seems plausible for a 1.8 release date.

*finds diamonds next to a lava pool* *digs around them, discovers vein is 7 diamonds deep* *mistakenly digs a block away that was holding back lava, is consumed by firey death, screams muted quickly by lava pouring into his mouth* Yeah, lost a diamond pick, 4 of the diamonds, and whatever else. Didn't bother going back, like Jack Handey says, "If you ever drop your keys into lava, just let them go. Because man, they're gone"

Loving Life Partner posted:*finds diamonds next to a lava pool* Yeah, diamonds can be found in some dangerous places. Like on one server, one of the admins had put an ingenious trap in a vein, so when I mined a specific block, it would knock off a redstone torch on the opposite side, setting off a massive bank of tnt. It was all above lava, too.

Then again, targeting angry impulsive teens who have clearly somehow bought a thing on the internet may be a good idea...

A friend and I made a small Obsidian generator. We tried to get it as automated as possible using pistons and I think it works great. I will have to make a bigger one now. It uses three RS nor latches one of which is a monostable circuit to get the lava piston to open, then at the right time close the lava, then push down the glow stone to stamp out the lava, then open the door a moment later. Here is a crude animated gif of it, I need a video capture program!

So I built a thing on my favorite creative server in the world. The innards aren't done yet, but I think the exterior is. Seriously, if you enjoy just flying around and building stuff with bro's, join this server. It needs more people and everyone is there is really chill. Plus, Dwarfholm is totally bad rear end and worth checking out.

Vib Rib posted:Sorry, what? Unless something huge has changed, only lava sources turn into obsidian. A generator like this shouldn't work with only lava runoff. If you put redstone next to water and flow lava over it, the redstone turns into obsidian. It is a bug, so get your obsidian before it gets fixed!
