Notch buggered something up, so, much like the issue with compasses and watches, the game is reading a hard-coded path for the lighting colours, taken from the base game file, and ignoring the ones in texture packs.

I actually bugged Notch and Jeb about the compass/watch thing before and got some weird runaround answer about how it would be next to impossible to make the compass and watch graphics read from texture packs, which is ridiculous because mcpatcher makes it work just fine.

He also said it was impossible to do colored light. Community proved him wrong and it ended up in the game.

Can servers be given a seed for map gen yet? With the use of bukkit would be preferred. (well for when they release the new 1.8 wrapper)

I don't understand how portals work and I'm having an issue with this one. I can enter the nether by using this portal can exit the nether and come back out at this portal. But if I spend a bit of time in the nether and try to exit, another portal appears quite close to this one but in a very wide open space. I don't want this new, exposed portal and only want the one I built. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this the way portals are supposed to function?

This is a common issue.

Does the food bar go down when you're standing still (like if I'm eating in real life and have to afk on my server)?

Also I'm finding that the food bar is much less of a pain in the rear end in mines than out in the world or in my village, since I don't sprint at all when down in mines because there's not enough wide open spaces. I do wish there was an instant health food though, because occasionally you'll have to hovel in a corner and let your health regenerate.

You're entitled to an opinion, but you are freaking out over a snow-man model.

No?

Notch really is an awful coder. This isn't opinion anymore, seeing the uncluster-hosed sourcecode only leaves you scratching your head more at the lesser cluster-hosed source code.

Notch has ADHD if anyone has ever had it.

These aren't bad things, they are just bad things for the people wanting current issues corrected rather than new feature that will most likely be broken or break other features that work well.

It's been like this since....2009.

The frustration has nothing to do with a snowman, it could have been anything.

(except fence gates, those would be OK to add)

Besides, notch has people working for him now, right? So he probably doesn't even actively have to look for bugs and has some people whose job-description isn't net-code fixing and thus had some time on the side to work on this.

Unless you think it's really a good idea to let your artists mess with code. That tends to be minecraft.

Well, it's true.

Can I seed a map in single player and keep that seed once I upload it to the server? (For all new chunks spawned)

I like the comment from the people complaining about taking the money that the mod makers use to host the content.

If modders are hosting their files on their own servers with so many resources out there that are free, then they are idiots and should be mining bitcoins.

AN AOL CHAT ROOM posted:

This is Mojang working on Minecraft, features will get put in and taken out and re-implemented with a complete and polar opposite function from what they were originally intended to do. See: Books. Now that we know that bookcases are only for enchanting tables and will never ever ever ever be used for writing your own personal Minecraft journal into, I'm stuck with my Bulletin Board Dirt Walls Full O'Signs.

As long as they're just throwing dimensions into the game all willy-nilly with no purpose, they should put in a "dream" dimension that has a percentage of occuring when you use a bed to sleep. It would be a strictly wireframe/AutoCAD 3D-ish dimension and on the "surface", the "blocks" are basically hollow outlined squares that comes in the primary colors of the rainbow whereas the "underground" is all in shades of grey. Obviously you wouldn't be able to take anything in or out of the dimension unless Notch introduces The Gauntlet to his repertoire of armor pieces and makes a crafting recipe of a Leather Gauntlet surrounded by five iron swords in order to make a Freddy's Glove which will allow you to take only one block at a time inbetween dimensions, so you could hypothetically take in a dirt block and bring out a pink outline of a cube. Oh and you can only "leave" the dimension by "waking up", i.e. falling or getting killed by some poor wireframe representation of a creeper.

I got the weird floating biome glitch thingy in my world, so I did an experiment. I was running Firefox and Reason and Steam and a couple of other processes as well, so I closed out EVERYTHING but Minecraft and reloaded the world from a back-up, and it generated fine. Do you think that would have something to do with the terrain being glitched? I know that sometimes I just start up new worlds without entering any seeds and when I have a bunch of other poo poo running, the likelihood of 2-3 floating dirt blocks up in the air increases.

I demand this be added.

Notch should re-introduce Endermen stealing blocks, but now it'll just be in retaliation for players loving up blocks even worse in the Ender.

I hope Enders are building houses and have farms in the new zone, so I can ruin them.

There's a twist to the new portals: they actually connect you to a random SMP server, where you see everything as having swapped textures and models. Meanwhile everyone else sees you as an Ender.

I'm pretty sure he was asking if there was a way to set some players to Survival while others are in Creative on the same map (and also remove the hostile mobs for the ones in Creative). A plugin to do that would be pretty neat but it doesn't exist as far as I know.

Bukkit does this? Or maybe it's the MCMyAdmin?

I am able to /mode #playername 0|1 and that player will be creative/survival.

Does anybody know if starting to use RC2 is going to gently caress up my 1.9pre5 world? I'm not concerned about terrain generation, but I really don't want opening chests to suddenly crash my game or something.

Also, while villagers opening doors is cool and all, I guess I'll need to put a steel door on that house in the village I commandeered, otherwise they'll be letting mobs in while I'm trying to sleep or something.

Also, I fenced in all their fields like a good omnipotent being. Wonder if they can manage fence gates. It'd be loving awesome if I could harvest the wheat for my bread and then just gently caress off and have them do the planting.

Back up the world and your .minecraft and find out.

Yeah, I figured this was the cause...but there are mods out there that have the same functionality as redstone wire but allow attachment to walls. There's no reason why they can't steal it from one of those.

I know I'm being a dick by just asking rather than reading the threads but I've been away for the last 3 days and haven't been able to update on MC.

I have a server running 1.8 currently, if I change the server to be running 1.0 will I get all the updated stuff (enemy HPs, nether mobs, etc)? I understand if I'll have to go and spawn new chunks, but just wanted to know if that will work or if I'll need to go and make a new map.

Thanks guys

The answer to this is ALWAYS; make a backup of the server files including the map and test it.

I would still backup everything. A bug might crop up later on and ruin everything. Odd poo poo happens a lot.

Not being able to play on some multiplayer servers doesn't change it.

100% false!

You're like a Republican who calls anything he doesn't like communism.

Many server mods for preventing people from ransacking other players' houses and chests rely on the name to verify access. It's kind of a big deal to a lot of server owners.

It's not DRM but it is stupid.
