I've just set up a minecraft server on dakka's (massively overpowered) backup server. The first 3 people to respond here with their minecraft username can help test it and build the initial stuff. Once it has been running for a few days I'll open it up to dakka users with a sticky thread in this forum.

im still trying to figure out if you can use a minecart train with boosters without any flying off the tracks if/when they bump eachother.

im thinking if i make a single rail with boosters for going in both directions and i have a water channel for them to land in so they dont bump and then they drop onto a track loop and the powered minecart just pushes them around into a holding area and then into another water channel to space them out for re-launch


What booster are you using?

Try using this one:
TT------------------------TT
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
TT------------------------TT

T= Track of course
- = empty

I haven't tested it for trains but it allows both carts to act as transport and booster at the same time allowing two people to move at once. When it reaches the end they loop back and go back along the track again, indefinitely even by themselves. I'm not sure if anyone has come up with it yet, but I originally made it for bridges. Courners seem to work as well so perhaps it can be developed into a loop and allow a train. They also seem to build up enough momentum so that if one cart stops the other could continue on. I have not had an issue with one flying off the track yet, but I think the shorter the track the more likely it will be.


well i had bit of a breakthrough experimenting and learning how to make boosters. i started with a simple oval loop with a booster in the middle to boost me as i went down each straight track. then i tried the single direction auto-return. i found out that powered minecarts cannot be boosted at all while storage minecarts can be boosted.

it was at this point that i started testing multiple carts on the same track going in the same direction so i made my auto-return booster shorter. the issue i started to have was the timing of when to get the second cart going to hit the booster before the first hit the booster. apparently my loop was too short and the carts started bouncing off eachother and then it happened. i took my boster cart off and i noticed the other 2 carts were still going around all on their own.

they were not linked up like in the super-collider booster, there was a visible space between them. i added my booster cart to the mix and it kept working. it wasnt untill i started bouncing into the carts did they link like the super-collider.

i think im going to use the supercollider as my actual engine for my minecart train, i figure if i have a switch at the stations then the engine can go into its own closed loop untill it is needed again.


Sometimes they just build up enough momentum to keep going for ages. Sounds like it will be cool. I'm guessing you'll be using wood pressure plates then for the switch, maybe having a button at the station itself to bring it back out to the cart. Also might be worth looking up some of the failsafes people have made for their minecart systems. If I remember it correctly, using a stone plate at the end of the station. If someone is in the cart it will be enough to push it down and the cart would continue along the track, but if it's empty it just goes back into the pool waiting to be called out again. Being in single player the whole time I haven't really needed to make something that complex. I just have a dispenser filled with minecarts and a cart or two in my inventory.

im thinking of using a stone pressure plate for the switch. if i put an empty cart for me to ride in as the last cart before the pusher carts my weight would activate the switch, i would use a button to call the pushers again when i am ready to leave. i have to see if storage carts do anything to stone pressure plates. i am also thinking of making a track switching area so i can move my train off of the main track so if need be i can call up an empty cart to go from base to base.

So our Dakka seed dakka world is progressing nicely, we have a floating house, an underground tunnel system, a floating island (Seriously, so many floating areas on the dakka seed) and my mountain top castle known as the ghosticle.

You can play it in offline mode for free. Playing multiplayer, however, requires you to log on, which requires you to have a premium account.

To play the full version offline you just need to get the right files on your PC, this can be achieved by simply using a premium account on said computer.

However MP requires that you use a premium account to play.

If I remember correctly, from what I've read (I was looking to start up a server once ), one of the current causes is slimes. Something about how they update their state when they die or something like that. One of the fixes just seems to be to either stay away from where they spawn or dig a small hole and bury them in it. Not sure if it's been fixed yet though.

Still a bit before my net fixes up so I can join in the fun, but did they ever fix the memory leak problem with the minecarts?

I've altered the server to reboot minecraft every 6 hours, so if something goes wrong I wont have to restart it. There is a bad memory leak in the software that keeps crashing it at the moment (every 10 hours or so).

The slime problem was with updates and caused slimes to be unkillable on multiplayer, this bug was fixed.

As for the black screen of death, it is a minecraft client problem rather than a multiplayer problem and is just down to buggy code.

It's the number/string that's used to seed the random number generator the worldgen uses; saves with identical seeds will have identical geography, at least to start with. I'm not sure if later chunks are generated the same, or just the initial area.

Go to create a new singleplayer world, under the box for typing in a name is a box labelled seed.

If you type in something in the seed box then anyone who types the same thing in will get the same world.

Definitely an eyesore, from my point of view, but the purpose of it was to help people find their way back to the sanctuary if they go exploring and for that its pretty good.

I personally have a lot of OCD restrictions I place on myself when creating stuff in minecraft...for example in my own world I'm very careful that everything I build on the surface kind of fits into the look of the world...my main house is basically a hollowed out mountain rather than building a structure up from the ground. I also try to stay away from using cobblestone unless I'm building something that I want to look out of place since cobblestone is not found in the natural environment. I also like wide tunnels and tall rooms, so I tend to stay away from ever building a path or hallway that is less than 2 blocks wide and 3 blocks tall.

But in dakka-land we have to accept that there are a lot of differing personalities working there and they all have different cares and desires about what to build...that's just the name of the multiplayer game. While I personally don't care for all the random giant structures that are being built around my floating castle, so be it. I chose to make my lair close to the spawn point so I knew it would get like this.

Once I'm satisfied with my floating castle, I will look towards making myself something much more far flung and away from the rest of the peeps...a country home so to speak!

Is there any chance we could get runecraft on the server?

I understand that some of the runes have nasty griefing potential, but even just turning waypoints and teleporters on would be a huge advantage when it comes to staking out territory away from the main crowd.

On the eyesore issue, my house is sporting a large wood tower (wood, not planks) that i'm slowly but surely trying to surround with actual trees (I think tree, dirt on the top piece of wood, sapling in that, rinse repeat should work), it's quite far from the spawn, but just need to see if people have noticed it/don't like it.

As it stands i've spent most of my time on it and lost a forest to a pyromaniac *cough*shrike*cough* that was supposed to fuel the wood for it, so I really don't want to tear it down unless I must.

Also getting this error:

Failed to connect to the server

Connection refused: connect

Minecraft servers seem to be fine, but this happened on the last MP world I played and I never managed to get back onto it, there was nothing that was visibly wrong on my side or their side, and the mc servers could not have been down every time I attempted (it would be very unlikely, I tried at different times of the day most days for about a month with no success). Might just be nothing, but i'd really like to get back to my projects.

creepers were climbing it and getting through our defences! it had to be done! I've given you loads of saplings and wood, and it wasn't JUST me...

As Lego has mentioned, the Beta code for multiplayer is very buggy and constantly crashes. He has the server set to reboot quite a few times during the day to hopefully prevent it from being down for long, but I'm sure its possible for something else to go wrong as well if its been down for a significant amount of time.

Doctadeth wrote:I love the Dakka SMP world...only thing is that my place is so out of the way that I get pounced on by mobs.



Yep, build an underground tunnel to it from the spawn, that's what everyone else has done...just use one of their tunnels that goes in your general direction and then split off when needed and create your own tunnel.

Also, if you're online when I'm online I tend to skip the nights using a command code unless I'm underground digging away. So if I'm online and night comes and you want to skip past it just send type me a message and I'll skip the night for you. Conversely, if anyone is online when I am and WANTS the nighttime (to get some string or gunpowder, etc), just let me know and I'll let night happen when requested.

Pretty much finished my floating lair...came out very nice if I do say so myself!

I just need some black wool to finish off my carpet...if anyone has any they can part with, feel free to drop it off in the chest in my lair.


I also did some serious exploring...Came across and marked two things with signs:

The 'valley of death' (just a valley with really high walls on both sides) at x:185, y:72, z:-261

We should really scoop the bottom out of the valley of death and make it into something really fearsome...that would be awesome.


Also, I found a strange 'high dive' in an ice area. Its perfect for a leap of faith into a small opening in the ice below.

Check it out at x:202, y:86, z:-1063

Nah, that's be impossible.

Quite literally, the physics of the Nether are different from that of the overworld. There's an ambient light everywhere, the fog is red instead of blue or black, and lava flows further than on the overworld.

Just spent an afternoon enjoyably creating a HUUUUUGE castle. I've spent well over 500 cobbleblocks, and probably an equal amount of dirt. Moved about 100 water as well for the mob trap.

What now?

Finish the last 2 floors and the observation post. Add the astrologer's hovel (circular tower with a glass roof) to the side of my fortress. Add in the furniture, so bedroom, workroom and storage room (2nd floor). The 3rd floor will be for PVP practice fights. 4th floor will either be a farm or tree farm. Each room will have a fireplace and I will also add an incinerator (lava).

Then finally, dig out the waterway next to the fort, and add a shipyard!

Murray, most likely your net connection. The server is based in Germany, and if your ISP has packet loss (wireless connection or bad wires), then that will cause you to drop out a lot. Hopefully they will improve their client and server code as time goes on!

Perhaps this is just a case of someone accidentally setting the forest on fire and not wanting to be kicked off the server or otherwise ostracized due to said mistake.

If this is the case and it was just a mistake then as long as it doesn't happen again then there is no real problem here.

I need to make a more traditional underwater base than the ones I usually make on my offline account.

Usually to me underwater base is literally a base that is entirely underwater-- a submarine base effectively. But I need to make a base that has one story above water and then a ladder leading down to the bottom. It'll be easier to find without being as ugly as a glass tower.

That's lag compensation. If you're lagging too much, it decides that the action you took didn't make it to the server, and so undoes it. It should really prioritize sending actions more than loading additional chunks or whatnot, as SMP is completely unplayable without a decent internet connection...

Minecraft @ 2011/04/17 11:24:20


Post by: legoburner


the IP is web2.dakkadakka.com (just enter that and it converts automatically).

The connection reset issue is either you connecting just as the server gets reset, or the Internet connection between you and the server is too poor. The server is in Europe, so is quite a long way and the minecraft code is very buggy so if it keeps happening, it might not be possible for you to play until they update the code.

You dont' have to test it.

Wooden half blocks are always fireproof. It just takes twice as many blocks to make the same amount of full blocks out of wooden half blocks. Still makes for a fireproof house.

It's a pretty simple reason really. Wooden and cobblestone half-blocks are just recolors of stone half-blocks, and aren't actually new objects-- basically, stone has a damage value of zero, cobble has a damage value of one, and wood has a damage value of two... and sandstone three. The numbers might be off, but that's the general idea anyway.
