ah, I can't do that right now, my internet has become painfully slow so I can't really play minecraft without risking being beaten by mobs for a few minutes before I can react.

This is your place, right?

Yeah thats mine. so is the ocean temple pyramid somewhere around there. as well as the sea cube that is a monster farm.

dont know if any updates killed it yet but it should still have a ton of stuff.

Its free to the public to use and work on. just dig out everything underneath so that the mobs only spawn on the top for crazy spawn rates.

well i lost my password and the password to my old email from like 8 years ago....

guess i cant play minecraft forever now :/

well you could always make a new minecraft account if you can't recover your old information.

Don't go, Desubot!

Just do as sirlynchmob suggests. I don't mind contributing a couple of quid to the Get Desubot A New Account fund if you like.

Or you could just mail Mojang and explain... might work?

Eh its like 30 bucks for the game now right?

its fine i got me some hobbing to do. and maybe i can brute force my code later.

I could email mojang but they usually require proof of purchase but i dont know what i used to buy the game or even when.

Can't you check past emails received for "order" and "mojang"?

That email is locked lol

So Minecraft 1.9 has been released officially, Is there a date set for the 1.9 update for the Dakka server?

I'm in two minds on whether to upgrade the server today. We've been burned in the past by bad day 1 releases, but they do have a whole load of snapshot testing these days and I do keep regular backups.

I'll be willing to upgrade today if no-one whines if it blows up and I have to restore a backup

All praise the Admin! ALL PRAISE!

Gah, had no time to gold farm at Sir Ralphy's place. :( No more Notch Apples for me...

Do you really need them? I mean regular gold apples are pretty fething powerful.

Useful to have for those big boss fights... Better to have and not need, etc.!

Dakka Minecraft server is now updated to 1.9!

Enjoy!

Time for everyone to die 20 billion more times while we all learn the new combat system.

Aw man, I forgot about the Blaze Powder thing in Brewing stands. I was meaning to make a ton of Switftness potions beforehand. Oh well.

Cool, I hope I can play some when I get free time.

I found some beet seeds so I planted a little patch near the spawn portal.

Sweet! We need to mass produce those babies!

Woo! Found an Elytra flying wings thingy on a boat on my third island. I've put it into a chest and have no intention of ever using it. A much more tense adventure while only using very unmagical iron equipment.

Also I made an End bridge out of stone bricks, the most boring of blocks and unlike the other bridge, is public, except to SirRalphy of course

The couple extra stone bridges between the islands will lead you to an End Fortress that I haven't explored, feel free to loot it. You can loot the nearby boat for what's left, including a Dragon Head, but please don't demolish the boat.

Good luck exploring.

So only SirRalphy can take the stone bridge to a ship he's not allowed to loot--especially the Dragon head--but can absolutely demolish.

Got it.

I'm sure he's practically swimming in boats by now, anyway.

I was just looking at the map and realised I need to update the Overviewer so it shows the new block types. I'll do that tonight and might adjust the map's End lighting settings so it's a little less dark.

The new update makes fighting creepers and killing them fast enough that they don't blow up a bit harder. Make sure you use an enchanted diamond sword, a sharpness 3 iron sword isn't fast enough, due to strikes being too weak or you needing to wait between strikes. Diamond sword is still fast enough I think.

A Sharpness IV diamond axe does enough damage in the first swing that you can spam a quick hit and off them after. Pretty much any mob, really. So it's a sort of quick way of taking them out.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying you should be doing, that or a diamond sword. Either way you need enchanted diamond.

Well there was this saying that Iron and Sharpness 1 is enough:

That was not my experience.

Hey guys I have gotten back on the server and plan on trying to find a good place to grind for equipment enchantments. I know there is a mending enchantment and I have a few things to fix. Sooooo anyone have any idea of where to go?

Well, SirRalphy/sirlynchmob said he had a librarian that could sell them for 16 emeralds, says it was simple to get. I haven't visited to see it yet though, since I've no need for it when losing high level items to the void of The End is too great.

I think I'll let the spawn villager farm start creating villagers and try to get a librarian at spawn with the effect, though likely not as cheap.
