Animals don't get tied to biomes in 1.9 pre-2 do they? I can't find anything but cows as far as the eye can see!

I don't think so; they do tend to spawn in groups, though. What probably happened is you got like 4-5 cow spawns, which while not common is far more likely than 20 animals all spawning as cows under the old system.

Should I just genocide them? I'm honestly not sure if it is still just a set number of active creatures per chunk.

It sounds like Endermen are going to be a lot harder to kill in 1.9. I hope their spawn rate gets scaled back because I'm running into these bastards every single night. It's getting infuriating because I have to avoid their stares whenever I want to go somewhere. They're like cops.

Wear a pumpkin.

Or just get a mod that makes Ender Pearls useful, since then they become a renewable resource that literally come to you to be harvested. :3:

In any other version they're useless.

Ender pearls are kind of useful, though. Their ability to act as thrown teleports is both stylistically in keeping with their related mobs, and adds a nifty feature with no equivalent.

Actually yo, I do.

Which app are you, I'll vouch for you to get in. If you are on SA, you know how to act.

Edit: To be fair, a lot of people DO take this seriously because the drama with PVP is so rich, they want to avoid immature people because then it becomes a whinefest and just headaches for all. Surprisingly enough, we're having problems with population because we're a bit too ULTRA-LUXE.

It works fairly well... but it helps if you have a door or something behind you because sometimes the chickens magically spawn behind you.

No issue at all if you control your throwing carefully, but that's kind of a pain.


On a related note:


I didn't know how many chickens I had in there, but it was a loving lot.

Then a friend fell in and tried to break his way out. This introduced an instability into the system and chickens started dying, so I shut the whole thing down and killed the lot of them.

That's the only way I know that there's over 200 chickens in that picture.


It's a really simple thing- chickens sometimes phase through a single block if there are too many of them... so I surrounded them with a two block thick wall of glass.

Holy poo poo the nations at war rules... it's something amazing.
http://nationsatwar.org/rules/

No mob farms plus an essay on why. No automated farms of any kind because all resources must be gained through horrible grinding, not fun building!

It's PvP, but the pvp is optional and everyone's buildings are reverted if they are damaged.

They're super serious about role playing.

Man, this sounds like the opposite of Lost Shard. I'd love a middle ground server. Something with a theme people take mildly seriously and the ability to build little towns and kingdoms or what ever, but also with a real sense of danger.

Why do I want to join the server? I have both the will to troll it, and play it super seriously. Help.

Though honestly really only like 3-4 people are active on my server anymore, if you check out reticulated splines in pgs you might like it. Its no mods, pure vanilla, pvp and all that. There are no rules but generally we build stuff together or have little villages. We don't take things super serious, mob farming is allowed but if anyone is a poo poo heel they get a prompt boot.

Although I just realized arkitekt was the one posting about that spergy server and he used to play on mine so maybe we're doing something wrong :(

It's not as super serious as you might suspect. Role play is middling to low, though it does happen. Resources are found out in the world much as a normal Minecraft server -- we just don't want you stripping the big ol' troll made of netherrack for his goods. Something that's a clear monument should be left alone, while normal stuff is fine.

We're actually fairly laid back in practice; the hammer's coming down a bit harsh this week because we have all manner of 13-year-olds who can't read applying for the thing. Most of the people on the server are pretty chill, and people who get too worked up over blocks are in the minority.

I tried even talking with them in IRC and was denied, you have to FILL OUT AN APP TO EVEN TALK IN IRC. Way to open yourself up to the public guys :thumbsup:

It's an elitist, MY BLOCKS style server that can't handle getting millions of YT hits and wondering why they have so many idiots applying. And from what I see on the server it's no different quality wise than what I've seen on Wilson's, goonimati (while it lasts) and any number of clusterfucked 4chan and reddit servers.

Get block logging, and ban offenders then do a localized rollback. It works wonders and takes seconds.

And sorry, Minarchist, but IRC has been remarkably stupid the past few weeks, hence the voicing thing -- the signal-to-noise ratio's been pretty terrible. We know very well why we have a metric ton of idiots applying; it's just a matter of handling said idiots, and as a result we may seem like our pants are on too tight. I apologize for my crew. The administration just had a bit of a changeover and we're still getting settled.

In any case, did you guys use voxelsniper or worldedit to make the terrain work out? I've been wanting to do that kind of thing again since our previous vanilla map, but :effort: since the Oceanator tool takes flippin ages.

IS there any sort of single player voxel sniper? I want to create a floating skylands bleeding into normal terrain map with airships and what not but I can't really find anything aside from MCEdit which is sort of a pain switching between that and MC constantly.

Run a server.exe, get bukkit, find plugins. You can always access your server locally with a 192.168.0.1 or whatever IP. It's technically multiplayer, but if you're the only one on it may as well be singleplayer. I did this when I made a custom map, then just uploaded the finished product to the online server for public use.

Took me 3 weeks, and it was mostly just a big ocean.

The lag when editing large amounts of blocks was unreal. Anyone who takes the time to terraform that much of a map has my respect.
