Minecraft Thread XII: Don't Kick the Bukkit

[Domochevsky]

I'd be interested in joining your snapshot server, Domochevsky. Username's Artemis_97. Note the underscore.

...

Added.

[Domochevsky]

Note: The snapshot server got updated from 13w42a to 13w42b.

(Apparently that just contains bugfixes, which I'm down with.)

And on a personal note: The seas and rivers are deep... how would we best go about aquiring clay there? Get a enchanting table going and enchant helmets with waterbreathing? Get to the nether to start alchemy for waterbreathing potions? (And nightvision potions, for that matter, for seeing underwater.)

[leafman]

The way I've done it in the past is once I locate the clay, I dump a circle of sand reaching to the water's surface on top of the clay and then dig down in the sand to the clay. I've got a water free environment to excavate in and to get out I just have to break a few blocks in the side and swim back up.

[Astral Avenger]

there is some clay in the river that you follow to get from my house to spawn, but its far enough out from spawn that you probably won't find it unless you know that you're on the right path.

Edit: the clay is within 3 blocks of the surface, I dont remember how much there is there.

Edit 2: There is a considerable amount there. if you find it, feel free to take it, just don't mess up my cobblestone path please.

One trick I used to use on PVP servers was to take a door with me, plant it on the floor to create a little pocket of air.

Of course on PVP servers I'd use it to shoot arrows out at people.

Or you could use some signs to create breathable spaces...

reminds me of how the guy who taught my wilderness first responder course defined the difference between rednecks and engineers: the engineer spends 3 years designing a submarine to explore the bottom of a lake. the redneck dynamites a drainage ditch and puts on some hip waders and then explores the lake.

[Triaxx]

9 fences and a torch. Fences in a cross two high, leave the bottom center open, close the top then place a torch. Air pocket and light.

So, 1.7 is now in pre-release. So what's going to happen with the server? More people seem to want a reset than not, but of course there's really only one opinion that matters. Even if the reset doesn't happen there was talk of a snapshot server being easily added.
Come to think of it, if that's the case even if the main server is switched to 1.7 is there any reason that a legacy server can't also be available at a different address?

[ShneekeyTheLost]

1.7 is a pretty huge jump as far as mods are concerned. I think the Forge crew stated it would be a month or more before there was even a Forge out for 1.7, much less any mods. Granted, most of the stuff needed to be done, but it's going to mean a complete re-write for most mods.

[Triaxx]

Don't see why it really matters since the server is vanilla except for the seemingly dead back-end plugins.

[Domochevsky]

Speaking of 1.7.1 Pre... I updated the snapshot server.
(It continues to be reachable under wildwestscifi.net (instead of a server IP) after whitelisting.)


Meanwhile, I doubt Forge will be out any time soon. Probably only after 1.7 is officially out, not just as pre-release. (But at least it should give them some warmup time to figure out what has changed. I do like using Forge in general. Makes things so much easier for everyone involved until the official modding API is out and in a useful state.)

I think CPW mentioned 'sometime after New Years' as a rough estimate for Forge for 1.7 to come out...

Yea, it's just that big a chance.

[Saposhiente]

I decided to put an end to the hard drive space issues once and for all by moving the beta server onto the big hard drive.
Beta 1.6.4 Server Now Up
Runecraft is still not updated. Trying to do fast update, push to main server. The copies of the mainserver worlds are out of date. Startup had no non-Runecraft errors, but haven't tested it. Please report any things that don't work.

[Lamech]

I will be quite happy when the modding API comes out. If I had time I would ask to be whitelisted, but...

[Phhase]

But what? And speaking of the server, it's lagging like no tomorrow. What gives?

[Saposhiente]

It says it has 50% of its resources to spare on both ends and I'm not getting any lag. Check your internet.

[Astral Avenger]

so, what do people think of 1.7.2? (also, what do people think about them more or less skipping 1.7.1?)

[Ogremindes]

I think it's better than lightly modded 1.6.4. Wasn't the 1.7.1 designation given to the prerelease?

[Leon]

From the little that i have done with it thus far its good.

I made a new world to go poke about on as finding new chunks on my Main world is going to require a major expedition way out beyond where i have been thus far.

Edit. Found a Mega Taiga biome while flying randomly about in my Creative world after building a Massive Max size Nether portal, the Ice Spike biomes are pretty impressive as well. How to build a ice fortress without all the fuss normally entailed.

I'd look forward to playing on Server Hardcore in 1.7

Someone I know is trying to set up a 1.7.2 server, totally vanilla. Problem is, that it can only be connected to locally. Anyone else gets a "could not connect" error.

The part he forgot to post is "Does anybody have any ideas of what went wrong, and if so how to fix it?"

[Triaxx]

Silly question, is the server connected to the internet?

[Domochevsky]

Plus, what about firewalls and routers?

(Side note: The snapshot server got updated to 1.7.2 release.)

Can you add me to the whitelist? I'm Ogremindes in minecraft, too.

Done.

Tonight was going to be a Grand adventure off to find new chunks... i spent an hour modifying the curtain wall around my base instead

[Astral Avenger]
