Mod blocks will vanish, and the game will crash if there are any modded items in your inventory, or if you open a chest with modded items in it.

in my experience, modded items in the inventory just disappears.


also emailed about the chain world, apparently i forgot item 1 in your list and asked about in the email, but all's well!

Welp, true to form I was creepered while exploring so the chain world is passing along soon to Fishylungs.
I did a ton of infrastructure on the main house Danyull began, though there is still no roof... Although I managed to get a bed so spawn is set to the house now.

Enjoy the newly finished storeroom (w/ labeled chests) and the armory - I tried to get a good starting stockpile and foundation for the rest of you folks to work off of.

Post pictures! Kind of sucks I wont get to see what becomes of it.

well, once the map is done (the chain ends) we could host it on a server or something for a bit?

It appears it was too much for danyull to find a map program for the chain world, as it it's been nearly a week and i've yet to receive any emails from him, and as far as i know i'm supposed to have the chainworld now.

notch just tweeted he's removing the fog toggle key (normally F) why he would do this, i've no idea. i use that often to make the game redraw itself if there's unloaded blocks of graphics or similar.

Except... no one in reasonable circumstances needs to do it. Like if Notch keymapped to the letter "T" the ability to restart entire game; I'm sure this would be a Key Thing Useful To Some People due to some dumb circumstances, but it doesn't mean it's really that necessary or a "key gameplay feature" that, being moved to the control panel, would actually matter other than for people with fringe computer problems.

Presumably he moved it off of F so he can use the key for something other people may actually find useful, perhaps some kind of gameplay feature. Even still, it was kind of an annoying placement for the key anyway!

actually i've had a quite reasonable use for it, as do many others whenever graphics doesn't load when a chunk loads, or when you're flying fast.

hey danyull, take a look at http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Programs_and_editors and then get your act together, it's been over a week since estel returned the chain world to you.

i've just returned the Chain World to Danyull. had an entertaining few hours and made a nether portal for any future people to explore (going to the nether is dangerous!)

Holy poo poo, you're right! Finally, a modless craft-all key. This is awesome. Doesn't seem limited to stacks either, which could be good or bad.

be careful using it and shift to move items quickly from inv to chest. if either is full it blanks the game screen and then crashes. luckily no item loss happened for me, but i always play on a local server.

in other news, the "Something Awful" seed is brilliant, the village closest to spawn has a dark secret beneath it, which is why i assume the villagers fled! (or the fact that 2 houses had doors up in the air, the other had a door hidden beneath gravel)

there's also at least TWO ravines beneath the village.

Go to 120,120, see the town there, and look for a big obvious cave on the outskirts (there's a road that kinda leads to it). Once inside, keep left.

haev you managed to find the stronghold in that map? when running it on the server, it goes "illegal biome placement" at "59, -18" and i've scoured the gently caress out of those coordinates.

in that particular village, try digging out the well. it drops you right into a ravine beneath town.

hogofwar posted:

Illegal biome placement or whatever means a stronghold was genned/tried to gen in an ocean biome. Those coordinates are chunk coordinates so if you want to get the real coordinates (the one you see in debug) you just times them both by 16.

that's the weird thing though. there's a little puddle next to the coordinate but that's it. no ocean or anything like that.

and what do you mean by debug? is it the F3 menu?

new stuff i've noticed in 1.8 pre2.

when you move your view about, your arm slowly swings in the same direction.

The Fog Toggle key has returned! hurrah!

related to the same, i tried a zombie survival run in the Something Awful seed (hiding on rooftops, using bows, it's great fun) and had the fog set to max to increase ambience. even then, endermen still showed up as ghostly apparitions at what was normally max view distance, and they were all whitish too. until you looked at them and then everything goes wrong.

silverfish are still dicks.

i also want to rep this seed: 1662097789 as it starts you on a tiny island with two trees and lots of grass so you can get farming right quick. if you dig down on the same island you'll soon hit an abandoned mine network that's bloody large.

there's also an underwater ravine right near it.

quick testing of cool 1.8 seeds reveal that the "Something Awful" seed is now rather dangerous. largeish island, giant ravine, no trees. at least there's plenty of sheep and an abandoned mine in the ravine.


i need a seed that spawns you close to a village in 1.9!

Goddamnit jeb, why'd you make it so fence attaches to blocks on all sides of it. this ruins everything :(

should've made it so it only attached at the end block, instead of just copy/pasting the window pane/iron bar mechanics.

I don't understand, didn't fence pieces already work that way?

this is from 1.9 Pre 2. fences now act similar to window panes/iron bars, in that they attach to everything next to them, which also looks silly.

i'd be happy if fences just attached at the end point, sort of like redstone.

Anyone able to make much sense of the brewing yet? It seems changed from what was apparently hidden in previous versions; unless I'm missing some ingredients, it seems like there isn't much to do with it yet, although it's fun zooming around with a speed II potion. Most ingredients can't actually be used a lot of the time.

I managed to get spider eye and water potion to combine into a potion of weakness. not that useful :(

quoting myself here. apparently the starting point for quite a lot of potions is to use netherwart to make an awkward potion and then add ingredients from there.

also gently caress notch for using Standard Galactic, that poo poo makes no sense. Enchantment table has a nice animation though.

Every time I've tried to get on this game, for the last 6 months, it's told me that I "can't connect to Minecraft.net". Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, but I haven't been able to download any updates since I was able to connect last. I've looked on several other websites for answers, and I seem to come across "it forgot your password, change it", "wait for the servers to stop being so busy" and "reinstall" most, all of which I've already done. I'm really, really sorry if this has been asked a dozen times, but at this point I really have nowhere else to turn. :(

Check if your firewall for some reason has decided to block minecraft.exe.

secondly, go to minecraft.net and download the minecraft.exe again and delete the one you have, i think they did some rejiggering of it.

thirdly, if this doesn't work, get someone to have a look at your .hosts file and network in general.

Since 1.8 there are no memorable, unique seeds. The age of Glacier and gargamel is over.

i dunno, i've found the seed "crackerjack!" to be quite cool, especially with technic or yogsbox. you start out near a giant smattering of ravines, and if you travel to the nearby desert you'll find some really cool terrain.
