I might manage to get back into this, got a new computer and when i get internet i will download it again, yay for far render distance!

If there are still only three strongholds per world in the final release, I vote that strongholds are public domain.

**Corpsesarefun**

I vote strongholds are first come first serve, if someone is nice enough to donate one to the public domain then more power to them.

**The Dreadnote**

Well if they do remain at 3 per server, if we end up with one that has an intact end portal frame, that one at least should be public.

**Avatar 720**

I vote public domain also, perhaps with planning permission to craft corridors with private rooms and such that all come off the generated stronghold, which acts as a central hub, like a spiderweb.

EDIT: Although I won't be on much, so my vote isn't exactly the strongest

**shrike**

I'd say one with an ender portal should be kept and preserved, and any after that are finders keepers.

**4oursword**

I wasn't intending to be flippant Dark, just hoping we can all have a nice portal

**darkinnit**

Hmm? I didn't think you were being flippant. I was just providing the link to where I had heard about the 3 strongholds thing. Sorry if it came across wrong. I do hope it is wrong and there are more than 3.

**MrDwhitey**

Patch is out, time to crack whips at dark!

**shrike**

*whips dark* NOW

**darkinnit**

I haz it. Server and client. But first, pie.

**Chowderhead**

Darko.

NAOW.

**darkinnit**

Never come between me and pie

**Absolutionis**

If you get the server up and running, we can make you an in-game cake!

**shrike**

*lets darkinnit pass for pie*

A man must have pie.

- Pie =

Depends.

What kind of pie?

**darkinnit**

Also see my post in the reset thread:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/90/407860.page#3588664

This issue is still occurring in the release version, but I need to see if it's a bug on my system, so I'll test it on another system and see how it goes.

**shrike**

Pie flavour.

**MrDwhitey**

This is the Whip of Encouragement.

Encourage Dark!

**shrike**

after quick testing-
fences don't have 1 metre hitboxes, and are now only where it physically is (like signs or iron bars)
end stone is fairly blast resistant (TNT encased in a 1 block thick layer of it leaves behind 1 to 2 blocks remaining.
netherrack is now darker.

EDIT:
Just killed the ender dragon with Chompy on his server (using creative mode) and the end credits are... odd.
Notch is obviously trolling us.
I'll upload screenshots once my photobucket actually starts working...

Just noticed in those screenshots- bows now have durability, apparently.

**Absolutionis**

Yeah, I remember seeing much of that in RC2...

Does that Dragon Egg actually do anything now or does it simply do the same teleporty shenanigans?

**shrike**

as far as I saw it just teleported around a bit until I smashed it

**darkinnit**

I think I fixed the new world. According to MC Edit's forum page on the spawn point:
"Minecraft's weird rules: y=63 and y=64 must not both be air, and you must have three air blocks above the spawn point."
I removed all the swamp trees from the spawn area and now the spawn doesn't jump away to the bottom of an ocean.

I can now continue pasting in the structures! ...If it weren't so late and I have to be up early and then out all day tomorrow. Hope for progress on Sunday!

HA HA famous last words. Nope the spawn point just jumped back to the bottom of the ocean again. Dagnamit.

**Samus_aran115**

Welp. 1.0.0 is out now. Cool, I guess. We're all beta testers now

**mondo80**

You can always build an underwater base area for the spawn point.

Is there a new server address or its the same one?

**SagesStone**

Could use glass as well if it can be protected. To even save time you can use Arcadia if you haven't placed it yet. I was rather indifferent to the transfer of it anyway, others want it more than me.

**darkinnit**

Any structures placed at the spawn point cause you to spawn on top of them, not inside them, so Arcadia or a similar structure would not work I am afraid. An oil rig like platform or ship would work.

When the new world is ready (with whatever solution we come up with), it will be the same address.

**Melissia**

An artificial island then?

Perhaps I can help design it?

**Doctadeth**

What about a 7*7 open area at spawn, walled but not roofed, with roofed passages leading off into the various areas. skyways should be built to the first tier connecting structures, including the netherway station. Also have a non-building policy within 300/400 of the spawn. (demolition enforced)

**Melissia**

IIRC the no-build section is actually ~500 blocks.
