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.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
