a purple future

at least it's pretty.

huh, neat. i just found two dungeons right underneath my house on one of my maps with that thing.

that reminds me, i found a record. i'll put it in the cc sometime

yeah it's definitely some iteration of Idtech, it even says it in the opening splash screens if you read quickly.

yeah snow is broken for some stupid reason. so is fishing. i mean, the fishing works, you just can't pick them up in MP after you catch them.

it's a height (z-value) heat map. The more red, the higher the elevation

i don't know how you guys feel about it, but i'd be interested in unlocking the /tp command. it wouldn't be as cheap as /setwarp, and for example, when amobius' place burned down, it could have been nice to /tp over to him to help put it out. just a suggestion. obviously if this ever actually becomes a functioning survival server, we'd turn it off.

man, nighttime is NO JOKE this time around. if i step outside my door, i can count 15-20 creatures milling around. I built a "fire moat" out of those nether-blocks that burn forever, which works like a charm, nothing gets to my house. I'm trying to devise a "monster vending machine" so that I can pick up all the crap they drop after burning to death...

dear server gods, can we have update?

oh my.

yeah he did. he did also say before that it would probably come shortly after the update, so hopefully. probably not until after he adds the lanterns and pumpkins i assume.

getting excited...

hahha the tnt at the spawn is hilarious. for a second i thought it wasn't going to regenerate. well done.

according to notch's twitter, health/damage will not be changed in MP for the update. he's not sure if torches/lanterns will be done in time yet. so it looks like -fishing works -slip dimension works -pumpkins -less MP bugs? (god i hope this means minecarts) -new block types, including the one from the slip that burns forever when you light it -biomes should be interesting. hope it comes out sooner than later. (tonight would be nice)

whoa, the reboot caused the moai's entire face to respawn, and half of the link statue too.

currently you can't set off tnt with arrows. would be a good addition though. and notch said that if the MP mobs don't make it into the update, they will come soon after.

oh man i saw that and assumed it was you. that sucks. at least your pyramid was still standing last i saw. if nobody else does, i'll go replenish the tnt later tonight.

agreed. another board I read is having a minecraft build-off after the update with part of the rules being, obviously, try not to get it blown up while you're building it or before it gets judged.

i just hope he manages to get the "survival" part of the MP working. actually i could go either way. i like not worrying about anything and just building, but on the other hand, wouldn't it be fun to actually worry about monsters messing your shit up? and farming and hunting would have purpose. baking bread to heal up, making armor, gathering gunpowder from dead creeps... could be fun. and there are ways to protect your buildings from creep explosions (they can't get over fences for one).

i kind of doubt it. i think (hope) he realizes that a lot of the quirkiness like that and the minecart boosters are things that the players actually like. not "bugs," "features."

everybody crashes. the easiest way to cut down on the number of times it happens though is to turn your draw distance down to normal or lower.
