Is anyone else not able to change their skin? I try to upload a new one to the site, but it just gives an error that says, "The file public/profile/skin does not exist."

Is there some trick to it or is it just broken after they updated their site, like the old launcher?

I'm really enjoying 1.8, but I'm a little curious if anyone knows:

Now that shift+click on an item in a crafting window puts as many craftables in your inventory as possible (which is awesome), is there any new key combination for just quickly getting ONE/a couple of the set of the craftable items into your inv?

I've gotten lazy and used to just plopping a stack of coal and a stack of sticks to make torches and just clicking til I have what I want. I tried ctrl+shift+click, but it does the same as shift+click.

I'm sure I'll adapt, at some point, to just putting the right amount of materials in the window that I want to be used, but drat the old functionality was convenient for just guesstimating.

The two small changes I'm making to armor is 1) slightly better durability and 2) simpler armor value calculation (not based on durability)

So ravine next to a winding river next to huge gravity defying cliffs and drops of land suspended in midair, all next to a humid swamp? Yes please! But wait, it gets better: an enormous abandoned mineshaft underneath it, with at least two dungeon rooms so far.

was there an update to the client or both the client and the server?

how do you start the server with more ram?
I tried making a batch file to run "java -Xmx1024.M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar" but it did not work and flashed up and away so quickly I don't know which half failed, I assume that java isn't in a listed folder. Am I going about this all wrong?

Abandoned mineshafts are awesome but you could dig down almost anywhere and find one.

Well, the quickest way for this is to dump whatever stacks of whatever in the crafting window, but on ONE square, only have a limited amount of blocks. Like, for stairs, do this...

CB 64| X | X
-----|-----|-----
CB 64|CB 64| x
-----|-----|-----
CB 64|CB 64| CB 10

Shift-crafting this would only make 10. Works great for me, because I had the same thoughts as you.

EDIT: I should clarify, this is different than taking the time to put a specific number in the crafting window because you're only really concerning yourself with limiting one square, rather than all of them. Handy when you're building something that fills the crafting window, like rail or TNT. All the sand and gunpowder in the world won't matter if you've got one square of, say, 3 items.

This is absolutely incredible, how long did it take you to make all of this?

Why not MCedit your island into a new world? It's what I did with my floating island when the Halloween update hit and broke the terrain. Whenever I get bored of a world I save my island as a schematic and put it in a new one. That way I have a nice base to start on with new world to explore.

I REALLY hope they update the way portals connect when they work on the nether. I tried to connect two places ~1000 blocks apart on my server, built the first portal, went through, came back, walked to the other base, built the second portal, went through.... and it connected to the same loving portal in the nether.

I know you can sortof get around this by making the portals in the nether, but the exact placement is wonky, besides it being a huge pain in the rear end to deal with. They really just need to get that poo poo working properly.

All the mods I used on my server to add the nether before they added it officially worked significantly BETTER. That's just sad.

So the patch notes say that the height limit is now easier to mod or whatnot, but i haven't heard much else about actually changing it. I just want my giant tower to more accurately represent my e-dick.

What's needed is a way to give portals an address.

code:

+~@##@~+
  #{}#
  #{}#
  #{}#
+~@##@~+

# = Obsidian block
{} = portal
@~+ = address block with redstone power.

Going clockwise from top right you have X,Y,Z and world in the top left. Supply an address block with power in order to activate travel in that axis. All four corner pieces as smoothstone would take you to the original spawn chunk while Obsidian would take you to bedrock in the nether at -1024,-1024. Glowstone can be the reverse by taking you to the height cap at +1024,+1024. Assign a value to some blocks in between and a way to add a multiplier for longer journeys.

You could then use pistons to swap out address blocks and interrupt redstone connections so you could dial a portal to several potential locations.

I also ran in to some weird areas where I couldn't destroy anything - just an entire corridor that refused to die.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:

Is it possible that this was in the same chunk or area as the spawn (only obviously much lower)? Usually, spawn areas are protected so that only the OP/Admins can make any changes such as destroying or setting blocks down.

I had a dream last night that 1.9 was released and everyone was wondering how this game would add to everything it's already got. When asked about what's set for retail, Notch simply tweeted, "We're going to the moon."

That would be absolutely awesome.

Nenonen posted:

Of course, in Moon you would need a diver's helmet that let's you breathe in space or underwater for a bit longer than usual. But to survive in Moon for longer periods you'd have to build airtight buildings with airlocks.

You'll have to wait for the 1.8 version or roll back to 1.7.3, I'd love if it was added to Yogbox.
