"Just a few more ligaments and this baby can shoot 90!"
I'm having a big problem with a 'recv failed' error coming up the second I try to log into any server on my home network.

I googled and did a driver update on my network cards which seemed to fix the problem for a couple hours before it started up again even more stubbornly.

Can anyone shed some light/explain/help with a solution on this?

So I have a Single Player save I've really been enjoying and would like to play it from work as well as home.

What's the most efficient way to go about doing this?

Isn't that how the cubic chunks mod works? And didn't Notch already claim it was impossible until that was created?

I usually watch those Digital Diamond segments during a break at work, and yesterday's entry was a slap to the face of everything I've ever made in this game.

365 days of work by 50+ players (who appear to be very talented) without any item gives or imported schematics.

Every single build previewed in the video looks amazing, it's truly some of the best work I've seen yet.

Most of my learning started out on this page, its written in a bit of a pandering tone but the content is pretty solid.

I for one am excited for the new update, and the newly generated chunks hopefully won't clash horribly with the 'within reason' settings I use on my server currently. I need to use a funny configuration with Phoenix Terrain Mod just to roughly approximate what turns out to be a major upcoming feature.

The hunger gauge sounds potentially annoying, but can we please just focus on how sprinting will probably make PVP fun, and how Gold may finally get a use with the advent of XP?

Also building moats to deal with endermen will be fun, any word on what they'll drop?

e: oh and I saw some speculation but nothing official, in the recent weeks Notch confirmed (I believe) via twitter that zombie's rotting flesh drops will heal you but also poison you. I'm excited but weary about poison, it's always been my least favorite game-trope, but I have a feeling it'll have a nice place within MC.

Doesn't that effectively just give you a longer health bar?

More effective hearts above half hunger, less effective hearts below half; as I understand it.

I think it sounds neat but 0.5 hearts is pretty ridiculous in my opinion unless it drains insanely slowly.

Apparently setting ones server.properties file to "online-mode=off" allows you to skip the auth servers. So the Goon server could do that if so inclined. Just connect to the server even if it reads Offline in your list.

Fake Edit: Tested and working.

I was dumb enough to try it so someone else might be too..

So if I update my server to 1.8, is there any special workaround that still needs to be done to get villages et al to spawn in the new chunks?

Also I'm running a super-chill survival server and wouldn't mind a couple goons coming to essentially play co-operative single player on a big, mostly empty map. I can't support enough people to warrant a PGS thread but I figured I'd put the word out for any goons that are looking for a very small (usually 1-2 people online at a time) server with a strict 'no being dicks' policy. If you wanna build some cool looking poo poo, and know no ones gonna do anything besides admire it, let me know. Fairly minimal in terms of mods, just some quality of life stuff.

Some of the construction projects and Mt. Blargen from the server's first month. A few more are in my imgur folder.

I'm no expert, but I think unless you use something like MCedit to delete chunks entirely, new stuff wont be created in already generated chunks.

I'm aware of that and yes you're right. We purposely prevented any exploring too far out so new chunks were close by, but I had heard there was an issue with getting the villages and a couple other features to load in on existing worlds, even in the chunks with new terrain gen applied

Or just throw the bowl to the ground. Not that big of a deal to pick it up again, or make a new one if you where dumb enough to eat soup over lava. Or leave the stew as is but give some kind of added benefit. Perhaps as a cure for food poisoning?

bleh hunger shouldn't kill you when it runs out, that's just irritating for a game.

A better mechanic would be you take more damage as you get hungrier, until you die in one hit when fully depleted.

It only kills you on Hard, because that makes it harder.

I think I can see where you guys are coming from, but I can't fathom how you could think it was better to limit the best gameplay experience to those who were lucky enough to be a member of a community that has our understanding of the mechanics of things.

loving Endermen. I was off scouting locations for my next building project. I got back to my pirate ship and went down to the hold to find this:



Not only did they somehow learn how to swim. Not only did they steal a piece of my hull leaving a hole in the ship. But those assholes stole a piece of my mast and the ladder attached to it!

Can anyone give me a report on whether Endermen will remove a block with a piece of minecart track on it? That would have to be modded out immediately to facilitate any kind of reliable rail travel.

Does anyone here use any of the goon server hosts to run a server? I'm looking to rent a server for a group of friends, and I was leaning toward SMP's, since it looks like the best one. But I'm interested in hearing experiences with any of them!

Just general impressions, support quality, stuff like that. I haven't run a Minecraft server before, but I imagine it's not too different than most games. One specific question, if I rent a Bukkit-enabled server, can I switch back and forth to vanilla when we get an update and Bukkit isn't ready?

General Impressions: Stable (completely, has not gone down on us once), quick, and their support is more than fast and helpful enough. The control panel you're provided with removes 99% of any help you'd require though, it's quite intuitive.

And yes, switching between builds and changing a lot of the server settings are easier than they have any right to be.
