I have recalimed the 2 first pistons, someone (I think it was corpses) made the first pistons after the roll back, and gave them to me for the museum.

Guys, Iustis and I just stumbled upon a place in the mountains. -472, 83, -738
Has a massive staircase into the rock, what looks like a fountain in a room with an iron door, some redstone circuits for some reason, and some chests up at the top. does anyone live here/know who does?

I also built the first shears after the crash, which are awaiting transportation. I also have the last multiple wool blocks from a sheep without using shears ready.

also halo, well done.

Hey everybody,

When someone is posting that is obviously attempting to troll, please don't engage them with conversation.

That is their entire goal (to get someone to respond), so by responding you are actually giving them exactly what they want.

Worse, in order to keep this thread unlocked, I have to go back and clean out both yours and the trolls conversation, so its a bunch of extra work for me or another mod.

So please, DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS and instead click on the 'notify moderator' button when you see such a post instead of responding to them.

It is very important that you DO NOT RESPOND to trolls.

Thank you.

It's actually quite fixable, if you modified the minecraft.jar just get a new one and it will be good to go. Won't even effect the saves either.

Launch pad was pretty cool. Might be able to reduce the damage as well by having a minecart roll onto the button rather than just standing there.

Yeah I've just started a summer job, so I won't be able to play MC until 7 pm from now on (7 pm in France, so that's 6 pm for ya brits ).

I noticed today at about 1:30 that the throne of moria is missing, or was taken down for work, im not sure which.

Ive been working on castle resources and can replace it if it was actually stolen, pending that the current builders of moria properly trap/protect it.

When did you last see it there?
Where is/was it?

I doubt the throne was lawfully removed. Only gooda could have done it and he hasn't been on the server for some time. Besides, why remove the throne?

I think it got stolen. And that's really a shame. What was taken? The diamond/gold blocks I guess.

I mean, come on! The throne had been in place for months. No one had ever touched it. But one stupid and lazy douchebag came and simply could not resist the temptation to destroy someone else's work. And all this for what? A few diamonds and gold ingots that looked so much better on this throne than on stupid tools. That's just wrong. Really wrong.

If any iron was taken I'll replace what i can, that throne was cool.

shame really. Just when I was starting to regain faith in trustworthyness. (is that a word? It is now)

I don't think it will be an issue, the majority of our players are great people to play with and our admins are awesome so why should we let petty griefers get to us?

Also the psu on my computer is dead so I won't be on minecraft until I can get a new one (which hopefully won't be too long).

I can lend some materials to help rebuild the throne.

I can donate a gold block Lego gave out to people after one of the myriad crashes; I don't have much use for gold atm.

Nah, I just watched the youtube vid he posted.

Told you so

i did notice some minor griefing on grundz castle halve the drawbridge was missing so i replaced it and some other random stuff was open that is sealed from inside when owners where not on server
and just little bits griefed that i have fixed

Half of the drawbridge is always missing. No-one knows why.

Oh yeah, due to that weird half drawbridge I'm going to forcibly give grundz a raising piston drawbrigde,

Wanna help me make one Corpses? And/or my other piston ideas

I'll make it when I am next on, which won't be for a short while as my power supply unit exploded.

That happened to me too.

So are we allowed to us pistons on the server now?

I guess. I mean, I have, along with everyone else.

Universe implosion

Shooms wrote:So are we allowed to us pistons on the server now?

Yep, feel free.

Chowderhead wrote:BTW, what actually happens if you hit a redstone torch with a piston?

In 1.7.1 it would corrupt the world save in that chunk. (so the game would play fine as long as that chunk was not loaded, but crash otherwise).
In 1.7.2 and above the corrupted saves get repaired and hitting a redstone torch with a piston just pops the torch off

Yeah my castle bridge randomly sets on fire I think and one side will vanish.

If someone likes I will give them the wool and such and they can finish the church, I am going to grid out the palace area and start building some point this week.

update on adventure update

I don't really like the direction he is taking the game... I like the legoey state it is in now.

Also grundz do I have permission to make your drawbridge awesome? also what material do you want it to be made from?

corpsesarefun wrote:

just make it look good, you may have to back out the road a little.
Note that it mostly exists to bring creepers that wander towards the castle to their untimely end

If anyone wants to do me a big favor I need to know the block# between the middle of the road to either side of the outer wall in the new palace area

also, adventure mode is a new mode, not taking the game only in that direction

so there is creative, survival, and adventure after that update.

I hope you are right grundz.

corpsesarefun wrote:I hope you are right grundz.

the game is in java dude, you can right click and edit it at any point and just remove the parts you dont like.

I almost exclusively play the game in multiplayer though, mostly on the dakka server but also with some friends on our own server.

Grundz wrote:also, adventure mode is a new mode, not taking the game only in that direction

I wouldn't be entirely unhappy with NPC villages and "randomly generated dungeons" in survival mode. Just as long as the option exists to avoid them.

Although, reading the blog, Notch says "We’ve got a list of some 40+ things we want to add to the game." Does this seem low to anyone else?

A tad, yes.

Hopefully on release when new updates stop killing mods we can get lego to put better than wolves on the server.

corpsesarefun wrote:I hope you are right grundz.

From Notch's blog post on the Adventure mode:

Fully working Creative Mode (and individual admins can enter Creative Mode on a Survival Mode server if they choose)

I'm pretty sure Lego will want to keep the server in Survival Mode (as it currently is). The Creative and Adventure modes sound more like they're geared towards SSP players.
Also I won't be updating the server to 1.8 until people have reported bugs and they have fixed them with 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 1.8.3 etc.

I'm in agreement with Lego for no mods on the server.

Not only is the Minecraft code still buggy enough as it is without extra third party bugs, but adding mods to the server (mainly ones with client side effects like Better than Wolves) would require all connecting players to also have to install that mod.

Not everyone who connects to the server wants to mess around installing mods and it's unfair to exclude those that aren't interested in the mod of the week.

Wolves is kind of like industrycraft, its alot of fun for a while because it has more to do. The real problem IMHO is that minecraft is a pain to install mods for and you can't just toss up a preinstalled copy because it is the retail version.

minecraft is reasonably stable though, I have no idea what our server problems are but my old server never crashed, had a realtime updated map with player locations, more traffic, and mods

I want better than wolves on and some one that lets you ride them/go faster, such as mo' creatures or dragons. Only when notch fixes the bugginess, though.
adventure mode I have mixed feelings about. though I welcome the idea, I don't like the sound of critical hits and sprinting.

Well! it seems that whenever I get on, I usually suffer some catastrophic failure that makes me log off, and when I'm actually on, I just spend my time gawking at other people's work. I really should get a strip-mine going :3 Or something. Anything that isn't just wandering.

Grundz wrote:minecraft is reasonably stable though, I have no idea what our server problems are but my old server never crashed, had a realtime updated map with player locations, more traffic, and mods

Was it pre-1.6? That version (IIRC) screwed up the SMP code pretty hard. Not sure exactly why, but before that patch, the dakka server was pretty stable.

Might be back on tonight. Will try and decide a place to start building then...

It could be the nether.
Jumping in and out of the nether creates a lot of chunk updates and loading new sections of the map a lot more frequently and more quickly. This equals hard drive thrashing and more memory usage. If something trips up during that it can then lead to lag, a hang or a crash. Most of our crashes and hangs occur when someone logs on (chunks loading) or goes into the nether (more chunks loading).
I'm not saying we should all stop using the nether, because it works just fine most of the time, but it's a reasonable explanation for why 1.5 was more stable.

I have to agree with Lego and Dark about the mods, at least until Notch's aforementioned modding support, and only then if the server is stable.

I don't currently see the need for any mods (except maybe the one mentioned a few pages back that allows the quick rebuilding of griefed or lost projects instead of having to rollback), and i'm reluctant to mod my own copy of MC just so I can play on the server.

Not to sound like a downer or anything, but everything seems pretty fine without mods at the moment.

I guess it will be the same with MODs.

Single Player IS boring. I see no reason to play it unless I have single player commands. Or Mods in general.

My point was that it all seems to work. Pistons work, doors work, portals work (most of the time)... nothing really requires a mod to fix it per se, all they do is improve content (something which is subjective, and since we're dealing with lots of players, might cause disagreements) and add new content (which again, might not please everyone).

Right now, we're all seeing the same thing, and if people don't like it, then that's tough because it's vanilla minecraft; that's Notch's problem, not ours. If we get mods and people don't like it, however, it then becomes our problem, since we chose to change things. People who previously played on the server might see the mods as a step backwards, or just in the wrong direction, and it's unfair to force people to play an optional version when the original version was fine,

It's like having an expansion pack for a game that doesn't allow you to play the original any more.

Very well put and my sentiments exactly. I may even steal this to add to the FAQ ;-)

What you also have to consider with MODs which introduce new block types like "Better Than Wolves" , is this:
"How do we remove the mod if we don't like/want it anymore or if it stops being updated?"
You'd (well *I* would) have to go through the entire world looking for any use of the mod blocks and removing them all manually, because without the mod, the world save is corrupt. And you just know someone will have used a mod block at x:1204 z:-2376 AND way down deep underground at y:6.

Actually the fix I have seen is to set the old block ID's to planted crops, reload the server and admin run around to update the chunks and the offending blocks will uproot themselves and turn into seeds or whatever, when they are all uprooted you can convert/remove the mod.

however this was on a smaller server and im not sure how block updating works so that may be unrealistic.

really i would focus on mods like extra mobs (horses and such) and biome generation additions that dont interfere with things but make things cooler

Ah, that's better than what I was expecting, but still a very tedious process. Have you ever crafted and tried to fully fill out a map? A map only covers one section of the world too, the Dakka world in total is very, very, very large.

Looks like it was just a hang. They only last a few minutes and don't reset your inventory.

For new players, there is a stripmine beneath the sanctuary that you can use to get resource just make sure you dont dig any further down and light up what you dig.

Yep didnt lose anything
Palace front gates are going up very quickly!

If anyone visits the castle please stop by the far right hand tower of the gatehouse, make some planks and refresh the furnaces with stone, I'll need about 200 stacks to complete this project so refreshing the furnaces will help me quite a bit

Gah -.- I half did grundz drawbridge before i was hit into lava by (presumeably) a mob this awful laptop didn't feel like rendering..

I ran back to where I died to find my items laying around on the floor but for reason I don't undersand I was unable to pick them up so an inventory reset to 19:10 gmt would be greatly appriciated dark

Remember kids, if your laptop can't propperly run minecraft don't try to play minecraft.

Is the server down?

Hi guys,
I'm planning on getting Minecraft, but I'm really bad at creating levels on LBP. This is mainly because I give up halfway through due to frustration from things not doing what I want, or do a half-arsed job to get around it.

Basically, what I want to know is,
-How long does it usually take to create a simple house on Minecraft?
-How simple is it to construct things?
Thanks.

Could take about 5 minutes to make an extremely basic house, then gets longer depending on how complicated you want it due to materials and design.

It's as simple as have the block selected and right click to place it. Not really much more to the basics.

what is LBP?

OK, thanks-althoug what about things like pistons, fire etc?

Grundz wrote:what is LBP?

Little Big Planet.

Pistons and creating fire take a while because you need iron for them. Generally depends on how long it takes you to find iron ore and smelt it.

Pistons take longer though due to also needing Redstone dust to craft.

TrollPie wrote:I give up halfway through due to frustration from things not doing what I want

Some people get frustrated with having to gather resources in Minecraft, this is the real part that takes time. However, you can play the old Classic mode for free here, where you have unlimited items, but none of the new items like Pistons etc.
Try the Classic mode to see how long it takes to build a house for you and if you think it's ok then try moving up to the Minecraft Beta.

OK guys, thanks for the help. Hopefully I'll be getting it shortly.

I cant mod minecraft for some reason

I hava a second monster in my sig, how do i display them side by side?

i have been playing my latest map off and on with zero crashing (yeay!) this has allowed me to finish my first wall corner section and i have a good section of wall up.

i have decided to add guardhouses with iroon doors for easy access from 3 of the sides and a large entry way complete with drawbridge and sliding glass doors.

so far i have a huge amount of resources for everything (i built on top of a giant pile of sand and lava is everywhere) except slime. my current project is a slime spawning room. i found a chunk that is supposed to spawn slimes and i have a 9x9x5 room dug out on top of bedrock. i will expand this to the entire chunk and hope slimes spawn.

I hope Notch adds NPC towns and people into the game it would be lots of fun to have people to conquer. perhaps i will have to find a mod for this and just start my seed over.

millenaire. it's buggy (though everything is these days *sigh*), but you can conquer them easily cos' it's from france

all jokes aside, I hope NPC's are added, but only as an option. don't want gakky cottages in giant castles of death and getting in the way of real people, or them ruining SSP projects, but they will make SSP a lot less boring.

Why only SSP? NPC villages in SMP would allow for regular sieges of their towns, so you can actually use your myriad castles to stage something for a change

so any suggestions on spawning slimes? i have dug out a fairly good sized room (the size of the chunk x5 high) i have a bit of water and lava in it and yet nothing.

so far a zombie some skellies and a spider that spawned on the lava.

im reaching the point of invedit. maybe put some TNT down there and blow the heck out of it?


UPDATE: slime room is working, i killed a creeper not far from my slime room and when i went back there were a bunch. i left one in the room sealed up to make more slimes.

haha nice launch pad, why didn't you take much damage on take off?

Because the water rushes in and takes alot of the damage but still allows you to be thrown into the air

1.7.3 is out, but as it's only minor bug fixes I'll hold off on updating the server for a while in case anyone reports major problems with it. Don't want to get burned again with some new save corrupting bug. The server will continue to run 1.7.2 until further notice.

The graphics aren't that bad, hardware wise they are pretty good (i mean look at the surprisingly complicated lighting engine). The blocky and pixelated look is an aestetic choice.

which actually helps out when you put the view distance to far

Sounds really good.
However, I thought lightning could start fires, and therefore destroy wool. Might be wrong though...

Lightning only happens when it is raining and rain puts out fire instantly.

that was how I died to seven creepers with full iron armour and full health, 95% of the way through my 2 hour trek.
with 20 stacks of bricks.
while effectively having my laptop pressing escape every 15 seconds.
at 2:00 in the morning.
with corpses and biccat asking me questions while being chased by mobs.
ran back all the way again, still escaping, got there not 5 minutes later (thanks to me knowing the rough co-ords)...
...it despawned.
gooda's area is kind of haunted- stuff despawns abnormally quickly. I think I mentioned that before. well this wasn't too far from there.

Not sure how you would get it precise enough though.
For infantry sized things.

A titan would be great though!

Hay i could help with some designs on my single player and post images for you guys. (you could use the same desighn as that robot for necrons )

The robot reminds me of the fellow on the right:


An inventory reset for shrike would be HUGELY appriciated, stacks of bricks and a stack of slimes is something that should not have despawned in the time we were looking for it.

You have to sign in to Minecraft.net when running Minecraft. If you choose to "play offline" you're not signed in as SilverLegion and therefore not whitelisted. If it's a different problem to that, then I have no idea.

If anyone has any tips on getting more reliable mob spawning, I'd like to hear them - the museum can always use more exhibits

Mobs will not spawn within 22 block of you and despawn if the chunk is unloaded for any length of time, they will only spawn in low light levels the larger the horizontal area the more likely they are to spawn.

Also welcome back from your short leave dark

The door is completed, with a lever that opens and closes on either side of the wall.

Just need some sandstone casing to make it look pretty.

you done the path to the platform too ?!

and i'm very greatful for you doing this

Does the path need pistons or is it just a more sandstone job?

Also I am trading for coal, we need around 13 stacks

It will need pistons to push it together from the sides,
>BEEB<
->BB<-

So like that where E is empty B is the mossy cobblestone an the < is a piston off and the <- is a piston on if you follow me ?

That will use a LOT of pistons...

I'm not sure I could spare that many slimeballs wolf.

How much would it cost me for them to be used ? I'm willing to offer Diamond

The issue is slime really, we we can get a good slime provider i can do it but we need like 30 slimeballs just for that path...

I can do it, I checked my dungeon to find that I had left a load of slimeballs there.

It's just gone down again...

The Dreadnote wrote:It's just gone down again...

It sometimes hangs for a few minutes and kicks everyone off. It usually comes back after 2-7 minutes when this happens. This is the most common problem we have with it at the moment.

Sometimes it crashes and stops, in which case it auto-restarts at 38 minutes past an even hour.

Last night it hung and did not stop, and therefore couldn't be restarted by the scheduled restarts, but these types of crashes are quite rare.

I'd say when the server goes down, give it a couple of minutes before posting, in case it just comes back on it own.

minecraft.net just went down and I am unable to log into the game again.

im glad to report that my last world is sill crash free and i have completed one of my outer walls, a tower at each end and a gatehouse.

i would have more done but because i need so much stinking lava i built a portal to the nether and have been working on an automatic rail system so i can transport myself and 2 minecarts back and forth from my portal to the lava pool.

i really wish minecarts could go through the portal too as it would make life so much easier instead of having to make multiple trips.

RaptorsTallon wrote:

thanks

the new version is slower, but I added a 3rd level to even it out.

currently the loader works by detecting if there is a cobble brick, if there is it extends the feed pistons and then with repeaters, delays slightly then pushes the cobble down the line, the pistons that feed down to the player fire at the same time as the first set.
When the cobble is pushed, a glass block breaks the circuit causing the pistons to retract instantly, the circuit isn't completed again until a new cobble block is formed.

its all repeaters, but dark showed me yesterday how to do an inverter so I might re-wire it so that when the feed pisons are up, the other pistons are unpowered and visa versa, that should let me speed it back up again.

You'd be about an hour's drive away, but I don't have a car, so about a 4-5 hours walk

Trains lad

Would be pretty cool to go there, I have family close and the uni looks good.

Trains are annoyingly expensive, especially around peak times; cost me £6.80 to go from here to the middle of Manchester, when a day rider would've been £3.10 cheaper; it's a sad day when buses are cheaper than trains, as well as being more frequent and more direct.

Buses it is then.

Either way if I head up there we have to go for a drink some time mate.

That we do; might actually be an incentive to get a damn passport so I can have some form of ID. I look so young i've been told I wasn't allowed a day rider because i'm under 16; I was 17 at the time and wearing a suit.

I eventually fished out some gakky ID card given by my old high school which nobody accepts anymore, and the driver grudgingly accepted it.

Anyway mate, come on minecraft and help me level land for the manorhouse

So I'm gonna be going in september. Or tomorrow, depends on whether the website goes back up...

You don't need any booking, I just walked straight in.

I'm looking to study physics.

Oh, the website said that you could book onto them, so I assumed that you had to.

I'm going for engineering.

Any ideas about your other choices?

At the moment I'm thinking:
Cambridge (dependent on results in august), Sheffield, Lancaster, Brunel and one other.

Yeah you could book but they didn't check if you had, they just cram everyone in really.

The other uni's I'm looking at are harvard and oxford.

Wow i never realized so many of you guys lived near Manchester.

Good lord, Corpses might be coming up to my territory ! This could be very interesting

Anyways still waiting on news about the well being of my pc so it still could be a while before I am back on.

Yeah going up north for uni would be a laugh, would have to go for a weekend in the peak district with some of you chaps

Just thought i would post this, but we are gaining on Gitsplitta's Mantis Warriors blog.

Anyway, If you do go for a weekend in the Peak District, I would love to see it.
Minecrafters in thre wild.
'We need tools to (insert needed thing here) 'quickly, someone punch a tree'

Don't worry guys, I have an iron axe

Weirdly leaves cannot be pulled by sticky pistons.

However pushing and pulling fences to make retractable gates with sticky pistons is great fun

Horray! Another preson who like physics!

So how many northern physics-liking dakkanauts does this make now? Me, corpses, raptors?

How much of a niche market is that

Warhammer players from the north of england on the dakka dakka forums that play on the dakkadakka minecraft SMP server and also like physics.

I'll be taking a 1 or 2 day break from making skins- can't edit a video, do work experience, go on dakka, go on minecraft and make skins!

Minecraft is more important at the mo man We are so close to getting that manor up.

Also the server died almost straight after dark left.

I lost all of my stuff (I was carrying literally ALL of my valuables) in a creeper ambush a couple days ago, and it was just after I had come out of the Nether into Brandywine.

So, sadly, I wont be returning to the Dakka server for a while. If anyone needs any redstone circuitry done or help building anything just give me a yell.

In other news, heres a shot of the Nether Citadel I've just completed on my own MP Server

@shrooms, I feel your pain more than most. I die the most, and am online the most (thus having more deaths).
and nice citadel!

Yeah its really a pain in the behind, especially when you're only just starting off and lose your precious early game iron :(

Thanks! It took a LOT of suicide missions to complete. Particularly when constructing the ladder entrance that goes under the lava lake and up through the lava fall coming out of the bottom of the structure.

A sad time indeed for the server, the guy with the voice is leaving and I lost large amounts of dirt.

lol, the guy with the voice?

Never fear corpses, biccat has offered to help me out with some supplies until I can pay him back. What happened to your dirt?

There was a server crash last night

You are the guy with the awesome sounding voice.

Corpses, the trains here in Boston are dirt cheap. I mean, like maybe $1.80 a trip to go anywhere.

Seriously, it's cheap as hell.

really neat!

so me and dark were both right...

If it's ever added to Minecraft itself, the recipie might be different, so you've called it for a mod, but not for the official game itself

Said the same thing myself

Server is down.

I am going to make something big and impressive, but I am not sure what yet. I would like it to have caves involved, and also include a large valley like thing near 1000, -1000. I have put a sign up claiming the land, and built a portal, but I am yet to build the nether side portal or decide what I will build.

Any suggestions?

Manor is in progress, dead excited.

corpsesarefun wrote:Manor is in progress, dead excited.

but no screenshots. Find it yourself

:( i want to see the manor.

I kind of want to build a big building to act as a Redstone tutorial of sorts. Ground floor could have the basics and such then get more complex as it goes along. Or maybe it would be an idea for the museum, up to whoever is in charge of that project. Just an idea at the moment.

That would be:
Me
MineTruck (Diddleshot)
The_Dreadnote

Talk to MineTruck about redstone stuff, because that is the area he is building. Sounds like a good idea.

How do you safely build bridges in the nether?
I have connected my new portal up, but I have to cross open nether above a lava lake.
If you want to see, it is parralel to FrenchyVinne's Bridge, but about 10 blocks left of it.
I have started to enclose it and make it safe, but I keep getting attacked by ghasts.

Not much else to do besides having someone else nearby to lure the ghasts away from construction. Seems to be plenty of open bridges in the nether which are fine unless you're standing still.

All these exciting projects and I can't see any of them ! D:

Poor wolf

Why not?

so, creeper blew up and ruined my water escape to my shelter, blew up half my chest, made a MASSIVE hole in the ground, and killed me. Server resests, and as I'm grabbing everything, crashes.

I hate creepers. stupid notch

At the moment the server commonly has a hang about five minutes after a scheduled reboot. The hang doesn't last long and you can usually connect again after five minutes or so. No idea what causes it (perhaps the overload of loading all the chunks so soon after a reboot?) but it does come back and doesn't cause inventory resets so it's not as bad as an actual crash.

PC still isn't fixed and this laptop is really bad so I have no minecraft

If anyone has any spare dirt or wood, could you please leave it in my hut very close to x=1000, z=-1000 (Up the mountain which you can see from out the back of the clubhouse by vinnies with the torches up the side)

Nether Route:
From the BrandyWine Portal -
Go along the corridor towards the sanctuary portal and my portal and vinnies portal ect.
When you get to the end of the corridor, there is a small 2x1 coridor on the right, just after vinnies portal entance.
Go down the coridor untill you find a portal.
That is my portal.

Thanks

At least you can see it when your laptops fixed. i can never see it.

In other news by underground stronghold is being made and is going to be awesome.

cobble is immune.
just wait til ghasts aren't looking, build as much as you can, pop back as they turn around.
or just build away with nothing but half a stack of cobble in your inventory, so you won't have to worry about dying.

haloreach4ever wrote::( i want to see the manor.

I'll PM you pics when it's done.

Laggy slimes just made me lose a diamond pick. Not happy.

Actually it's cool, stuff was still there after the reset. Laggy slimes are still the worst though.

Yay.

Does anyone have any cobble that they can spare? Im all out and I need some for my nether Citadel!

Any would be appreciated

Does anyone know of a large forested area that it wouldn't matter if it was compleatley destroyed and the landscape flattened?

I need alot of dirt and wood for my project.

I've seen several, but all have a house nearby, and probably built it there for the view.

oh and me and corpses both got killed by one skeleton
