Full of cave spiders.

I prefer to think of them as protection

dark's updating the server now!

Not yet! Calm down!

you said "goodbye 1.7.3" while the reset was happening?

DakkaDakka server is now running 1.8.1! Enjoy!

Just tried to join and got on to the server for a few seconds before getting:

Connection Lost

Internal Exception: Java.net.SocketException: Connection Reset

Sorted now

I do like the new server list feature, much easier to check if the server's working or not!

I found an abandond mine in the swamp area, ive got a portal there but it takes a while to reach it in the nether.

Yes, Minecraft is totally worth the money. While I'm not playing 40k, I'm playing Minecraft, and designing buildings.

Is anyone else having a problem with chests not appearing correctly?

Lighting isn't working right (the top is dark) and all of my chests have changed orientation (at least the chest image, apparently not the chests themselves)

Holy guacamole, that's a lot of diamond.

I hath found another glitch. It is raining inside my mountain.

:/
My computer won't let me download 1.8.

I finished the rail line to Nether Reach, its a base in the nether at x-950 out. Take the line going to mondonia and keep going. The portal is on the edge of a swamp directly above a huge abandoned mine complex with a mine spider spawner. Got 2 ender pearls.

it's just another tedious but not too bad glitch. When you click on old chests to "fix" them, they turn around.
one of my double chests that is in the floor runs the opening animation, but sometimes gets "stuck" in the wall and doesn't close.

Yup, because of the new chest model and opening animation, existing chests from 1.7.3 can appear facing the wrong way and with little-to-no lighting. To fix the orientation and lighting at the same time, break and re-place the chest. If you just need to fix the lighting, either open the chest, or place a torch close to the chest (you can break the torch afterwards).

This is another glitch yeah, to fix it, simply break and replace any leaking blocks. (sorry if that's a lot of blocks )

No, clicking them only fixes the lighting. You have to break them and place them again to fix the direction they're facing unfortunately.

Is anyone able to connect to the mojang server or whereever it is I have to log into before joining the server ?

I think I read something about them having maintenance before, give it another try though could just be lag now.

Can't seem to change my skin on their site either.

When he says great skin sites, I found http://www.planetminecraft.com allows you to change your skin by clicking then "Change My skin" button from any skin on their site.

If it's raining inside my mountain, it is going to be a huge ball ache. Hopefully the myraid trees I have planted on it will shield it fromt most of the rain if they're leaky.

Great.

All of those chests are full.

Seems I got it wrong, don't go replacing all those blocks just yet!

Logging on to a server during rain causes rain to fall through nearby blocks (ceilings indoors, for example) for the duration of the rainfall.

This is from the "Known bugs" list on the minecraftwiki.net. I think it implies that rain only comes through ceilings if you login while it is raining. And even then, once the rain stops it won't leak again next time it rains (unless you log off and then log in during rain again).

You were last on when a crash happened, and this is the first time you've logged on since. I've rolled back your inventory to when you were last online before the crash, let me know if that works for you.

Also, let the memes begin.

I need:
brown mushrooms
a pumpkin
and whatever new blocks that grow from the new patch

for the start area farms
also a ton of dirt and a reason why NPC's aren't spawning in the creator en-masse yet =(

I'm afraid that didnt work dark, I think we just had a crash and it must have reset it back ?

Just re-downloaded Minecraft last night and updated to 1.8 (Stupid Hard Drive...)

Mind=Blown.

I did have to laugh at one of the villages I found though - one of the houses spawned on a cliff, then the path just dropped off, and the rest of the village was at the base of it. I pictured some dumb NPC just falling to his death off the cliff because his pathing probably won't account for the fact that there's a huge drop of death in the middle of his town
