It seems they only load within a certain distance from you. I've had it happen often, but then I am using the normal texture pack on base MC while I wait for Optifine to be fixed. So I figured I'd wait to see if that was the issue.

Sucks if you rely on them heavily for nether travel.

Yeah, Dark, please could you try and find out who's been screwing with my farm? I've lost more than 10 Mooshrooms, they've tried to block the door off, and there are various imperfections, as in screwing up my wheat farm in the center, plus taking out some blocks from my Cane Farm.

I've replaced the Mooshrooms and lit up the inside of that structure to prevent creepers spawning. You'd be best to put up some more defences around the outside of it though as mobs spawn all over your area and anyone just innocently walking by can attract the attention of creepers.

It was lit up inside though. But, not even knowing when it happened it could be hard to figure out.

I've started a temple quest, with quest log, trying to find 1 of each temple, I've already generated hundreds of new chunks!
The first exampe of each temple I find will be kept in perfect condition, for the public to enjoy.
Ok, I may remove the traps first, but that's for saftey's sake.
Oh, and if a find a new village, it's mine, I need test subjects for science!

Also got an idea and managed to scrape together some resources for it.

Ender chest ATMs.
Either as the first design, which sort of needs work but trying to keep them cheap resource wise for obvious reasons.




Or the minimalist style.


So far I have four chests to put around or even trade if people want them. However I can see the use of them more in public such as Suburbia or even kicking that trade center to life.
They're even useful for carrying valuable crap with how fussy portals seem to be at the moment.

Anvildude, awesome.

Beanstalk -- I did lose a bit of progress in one of the server updates or rollbacks I think, and I've not done much more since. My son's just started playing on the dakkadakka server, and he's keen to build up Chasmholm, the dwarf city under the beanstalk, more, so I'm gonna keep concentrating on that for a while... but I will use the snow (and all the wool I'm getting from my triple Cave Spider spawner) to keep building the cloud island atop the beanstalk soon.

Can I get you anything in exchange? Got a couple of spare blaze rods...

I love iron. So much iron- preferably in ore form.

Actually, any Ores you might have- Coal, Iron, Gold, Lapis- I like the look of the raw ore, and all too often people don't bother Silk Touching or not-smelting the stuff. And with Zombie Pigmen, Charcoal, and Zombies, there's really no reason to not save ores- you can get everything else from mob drops and renewable sources.

OK, cool -- I will start grabbing some gold ore, at the very least (or may try silk-touching lapis -- I'm quite new to enchanting but keen to make it happen). Do you have an obviously findable place that's accessible from the Nether, where I can drop it off? Might be in a while...

I think it really depends on why they were banned to begin with whether I would have an issue with them back on the server. If they vouched for somebody and the vouched person got banned for griefing then fine, I have no issues with that.

I would possibly vouch for somebody but I'm hardly on the Dakka server anymore, having too much fun with mods to want to go back to vanilla, to mkae it worthwhile.

um, constantly is a bit extreme
they didn't complain every page, maybe 1 in every 15, and I know for a fact sometimes they were accused of complaining even when they weren't.

in fact, many of you complained about them more than they complained about being banned, and then there's that instance were blood was practically raged at for mentioning not to go on a sever he had suggested you go on a few pages back.

anyway, you may call me a hipocrit for doing the following, and tell me it isn't as effective, but no more about them being banned, as they now technically aren't.
That's all in the past, so let's forget it.

Also messing around with villagers and one of the priests now sells those bottles filled with exp. Rather useless with that grinder, but nice for collection and such.

Coolyo's given the thumbs up, so Bloodhorror, you're whitelisted again.

Remember, Coolyo's putting his own account on the line for you, so be nice, no digging death trap holes, embedding boats in obsidian, flushing away redstone circuits with water, or taking others items without their consent. This is not an exhaustive list

Lastly, because you were banned for actions that you did yourself, all your existing structures are still forfeit and it is up to any current owners whether you get them back or not.

Besides all that, welcome back, and have fun!

No on the villagers, that's not a naturally spawned village, it's one you're building yourself, so you'll have to transport villagers from somewhere else yourself.

The "funky generation" is where the boundaries of 1.1 chunk generation meets the boundaries of 1.2.5 generation and then 1.3 generation. The reason you didn't see them before is because I've extended the map radius to 3000 blocks. Now you can see some places that you couldn't before, such as Wolf's battleships in the north west.

and I can't belive I never noticed the battle ship, I've been on the yaught, big unfinnished thing and the tri-maran combat ship and never noticed the biggest one, maby I am blind. but I like the new map, so much new stuff to find, like this japanese temple/castle thing in the South West corner or fetts house, which is now just visable in the south east

Yep! though I haven't worked on either elf cities in ages, mainly from not being on the server.
Also seems the others involved in the projects gave up, too.
I'd work on them, but I'm currently hunting for temples and test subjects, there is science to be done!

Looks to be here, but you could also have a look further west, there may be some in the deserts at the edge of the map. Also is that square hole in the sand a buried dungeon there in that second link? Only one way to find out...

Minecraft is a good game and my best defence 1 build house in hill 2 put lava round it about three blocks wide 3 build a bridge two blocks wide across it 4 put pistons on one side of the bridge facing the other row of blocks on the bridge and a lever to flick when mobs are on the bridge

Building a house out of obsidian actually allows you to do more burning than you'd think. The house would also be built by burning water.


Minecraft @ 2012/08/07 13:06:02


Post by: darkinnit


I thought obsidian was cooled lava. Doesn't burnt water make smooth stone? /minecraftlogic


Minecraft @ 2012/08/07 13:17:33

In minecraft logic it is both or something. Also smooth stone or cobble depending on how you watch it form.

Minecraft @ 2012/08/07 13:22:09


Post by: darkinnit


I mean which blocks are left after the reaction. :-)

When making obsidian, the obsidian replaces the lava (ergo, cooled lava)
When making smooth stone, it replaces the water (ergo, burnt water)
When making cobble, it's flowing lava that is replaced by cobble (cooled lava again? a mix?).

SCIENCE!

This one seems to be kind of complex to build. Cannons have an ammo counter, adjustable range and reload automatically. The only issue is they will missfire if you spam them so you have to wait for it to at least fire the shot before pressing the button again. If you press the buttons on one cannon too quickly it will detonate the ammo for both and the tnt that drops out the platform if you lose.

It does start off slow though.

But not how hitting it with a pick converts small amounts of stone into obsidian.

I've found a bug (that someone else may or may not have already found).

When you go through portals you can lose all your xp.

However if you hop back into the portal a few times you will get the xp back.

From what I've read, it's just a display problem, you don't have to hop through the portal a few times, you just need to either grab one more XP orb or Log off and Log on for it to display the correct amount again. i.e. you were at level 29, go through a portal and it's all gone, kill a chicken, bam level 29 (Note: I do not advocate the ritual sacrifice of chickens - other sources of XP are available)

When was it last there? Why does nobody ever mention this vital detail? Also I won't be able to investigate till later this evening.

If the thief is reading this, you have about 8 hours if you'd like to own up and return the items. You'll just get a warning. If it gets to the stage where I have to investigate, and the items have not been returned or an explanation given, then the thief will be banned.

HELLO EVERYONE!
Me and Skyslasher are incredibly lost! We took far too many wrong turns and are now at the following corrdinates
x= -9723
z= -10284
y= 114

What we found is something kinda awesome. We found a Pyramid Temple.


WE also found a very large jungle biome.





And someone please.
Get me the helk out of here.


You will find me at those corridnates at the top. Its called StormWarriors Tree Fort. It has the following....
coca bean farm
Melon farm
Cobblestone Generator
Wheat Farm
Infinite water Source
A Tree Farm
An In progress Mob Grinder.
So if you ever get lost. Try and get to the the Massive tree Fort. Its kinda of a Massive Tree
I constructed all of this in like an hour. I practiced on skyblock so I will be fine for a very long time but I just want to return back to the construction of my Castle.http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/-646/64/2737/-1/0/0

What do Monster Spawners do specifically. I play primarily on Peaceful mode and I've found a couple of these while digging through caverns. I'd say the name is obvious, they spawn monsters, but special types? Will there be no monsters period if I find and destroy them all? Etc...

What do Monster....spawners do? Inside the cage is a specific monster that you'll usually find in the world. They spawn them continuously, whereas typical mobs spawn randomly. Destroying them just stops the mobs spawning at a high rate from them , you'll still find mobs in areas where they can normally spawn.

^^ Read the wiki.

Post by: 4oursword


If you play on Easy/Normal/Hard, they spawn monsters at at an accelerated rate in a small radius around them. Monsters will continue to appear in other areas though as normal/

Never destroy a spawner! No matter the type, you can always set up a decent XP farm for you enchanting needs! Each spawner spawns a different type of mob, natural spawners are zombie, skeleton, cave spider, blaze, spider and I think that's it. There are others that can be MC edited in to the game but they are the only ones you'll encounter in vanilla minecraft. If you are within 16 blocks the spawner activates, releasing a number of a specific type of mob every fifteen seconds or so. If you are on peaceful, the spawners don't spawn anything.

I don't really think that using LMGTFY is terribly polite, and I responded in kind. It implies I don't have the intelligence to type, which clearly I do. I was really after a proper explanation, as most entries about t are laden with Jargon which I am unable to decipher, seeing as I don't know that much about the physical workings of a computer.

And your computer was? What make? What was it running on? Windows? Linux? (It's meant to hate Linux, from my experience)
It says on the website it has several compatibility issues with certain makes and/or OS'. My Acer has 64bit Windows 7 Home Premium; works absolutely fine. Used Hackintosh to change the OS to Linux temporarily. It spazzed up my computer horribly. Changed it back to Windows, worked perfectly fine.
It's a neat, small little piece of software if you plan on going on your friend's servers when you happen to have moved to another country. Like me. It doesn't take up much HDD space, and you can run it alongside nearly any other program and won't affect it's performance. Like Minecraft. Or Starcraft 2. Plus, it's one of the safest VPN programs on this planet. It is renowned for it's security. I love it. It's a shame my parents made me delete it though...

Besides windows 7.
Back to the Hamachi point. You shouldn't have had any problems. You may have had a corrupt driver, or windows firewall was blocking Hamachi from performing certain protocalls. This tends to screw up Hamachi. I had to allow access to about 3 things before it started functioning correctly.
Another problem; you may be missing 2 .exe files required for Hamachi to install and run correctly. These are instsrv.exe and srvany.exe. They can be found in Windows Resource Kits. And you may have to edit your registry for XP.
Either that or your Hamachi may be infected...

Mojang have "pre-released" the 1.3.2 patch.

This patch fixes portals killing you and animals pushing you into walls. It does not contain new features, like the armored zombies or zombie villagers, they are for 1.4.

I've updated the Dakka Minecraft server to the 1.3.2 pre-release, but you can still connect using 1.3.1.

The official 1.3.2 release is on Thursday.

I've unblocked the portals that used to kill you in 1.3.1 because they no longer do so. However, if you go through these portals while still using the 1.3.1 client, the chunks don't load, but you no longer die (you just levitate in the chunk error). When this happens, it's best if you log off and on and then the chunks will load.

If you update to the 1.3.2 pre-release (optional - your choice) or when 1.3.2 is officially released, you no longer have any problems with the portals at all.

Any questions, ask away!

Please do not kill villagers, cows, sheep, pigs, chickens etc in areas that belong to others or that you haven't claimed for yourself. You have to share this server with others and killing mobs which others are looking after can be considered griefing and will get you banned.

Can we call the point moot and get over ourselves children? ^^'

Pretty sure there are laws against getting over children.

Completely unjustified accusations

Framed paintings in a frame?

Mindblown.

Thought I'd finally post on here and say how much I really enjoy looking round Darkinit's map looking at people's creations.

Is that the shelf system I've been saying they should add because it'd be cool for ages now?

And flower pots? First thing I'm doing in 1.4 is walking around my house, looking at the normal paintings, shaking my head in disappointment and removing them from the wall. As well as my "flower pots".

I like to watch the map too, and then I cry because dem parents wont allow me to buy MC.

Stone fences? Cool....

Crafting recipe? Two rows of stacked cobblestone?

Now to wait and complain about no non-cobble versions.

So, are they getting around to fixing actual bugs in the game rather than giving novelty bits and bobs to distract us? Or is that coming too?


Minecraft @ 2012/08/16 13:39:07


Post by: thenoobbomb


I guess so. I mean, its a bit boring to show 'we fixed this bug!', right? So you show new stuff

1.3.2 (fixing bugs) has just been released. POW

I believe a few of us have been there, I go there a lot as I know him IRL. You still never said where you killed this villager, tell us where.

Mojang also didn't fix this sound lag you get when placing blocks. So much for bug fixing!

Well his house is beast as you have to go into the nether and walk for about ten minutes then exit the nether and walk a bit and then you in his house. and if you meet him on the server he is really kind as he gave me 16 coal and 42 watermelon slices when i was dying and he let me take resorces from his mine and i repaid him with 2 gold ingots.
