Neowin's.... Official... Minecraft... Server... well, it ain't DynamicSquid but will do ;)

I humbly ask for citizenship, username: PilipoPL

Done - have fun and welcome back.

Anyone have any good idea's on how to slow down a minecart?

Basically building a branch line off the main subway lines to my base.. can't get the cart to slow down enough to hit the button to change the track..

I dunno...cobwebs maybe?

I might want to check this out when it's upgraded to 1.5.

If you could whitelist JestonU I'd appreciate it :)

Gonna try out the Neowin server, "Robz24" is the MC Username

You're free to play.

^ i still say they should switch to the Lockette plugin, as that one is known to be reliable

I guess I'll second that. Get a plugin that doesn't just say it's compatible with 1.4.7 but is actually compatible with the items that are found in 1.4.7.

Well the first version i made never worked properly..

So made version 2

Which involves a detector rail 30 blocks back from the junction, 16 Redstone repeaters all set to the highest wait time, and at the junction itself 2 powered rails with one on a slope that have been powered off.

When a cart at full speed comes along the track hits the detector rail, it will start the countdown, and by the time you get to the powered rails it will give you time to press the button to change track and turn on the rails to let the cart go.. if no action is taken, the cart will start again after 3-5 seconds..

Of course i haven?t shown all the Redstone wires needed to change the track while pushing the button..

Explain how so i can apply it to the other switch.

thanks

I would recommend against branching the line and build a sub-station at one of the stations. I haven't had time to work on it since I actually started the original idea... But I was trying to avoid line branches. The reason theres a dark blue line built up to the cyan line is because thats where the cyan will go once the spawn station is finally done.

Are you in creative or survival? As i don't remember seeing a cyan line in survival?

Folks: Do all of us a favour and clean up creeper damage on the survival world if you're the one who's triggered the bugger. Thank you.

I would appreciate this if people could,

I have been spending 15 or so Stacks of Dirt a day trying to clean up messes people have caused near my house.

You got to keep creeper damage, otherwise we're turning survival into creative.

Just put some torches around your area, top stop them spawning.

My area is already well lit, so I haven't problems with Creepers. Regarding Creative/Survival, there's a lot more than just creeper damage that defines survival. I wouldn't mind if their terrain damage was disabled.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99. That's 27% off and $90 saved for a solid Wi-Fi solution that covers your entire home (purchase link down below). The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node. You set up the entire thing through the eero app, and the entire process takes a few minutes. The system also receives automatic security updates in the background, so once you set it up, you don't have to worry about compatibility issues. If you're covering a larger home or want more nodes, the 3-pack is $329.99 and the 4-pack is $479.98, both at similar discount levels. It's worth mentioning that a newer model exists, which is likely the reason for the discount, but the Pro 6E is still perfectly capable hardware for most homes.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
