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.

    • Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.
    • I'm no Apple fan, and have never bought an Apple product for myself. But I'd argue that where you think Apple is behind regarding an OLED display, that the vast majority of people out there wouldn't even know or care for an OLED. Apple have struck the balance well to create a price point that works, and I hope that PC manufactures, and Microsoft take notice. I'd argue that Asus will struggle to compete with the Neo BECAUSE they put in a more expensive OLED that many people won't actually notice with its deeper blacks. Most people wouldn't care either that their screen is stuck at 60Hz! When I bought a 4k monitor (future proof and for the space), my laptop could only push that out at 30Hz, and it worked fine for my needs for 1.5 years! Heck, the average human eye can't see more than 90Hz in many situations!! So while they are trying to differentiate themselves, and it may well gain them a few customers, for the most part, I think they're missing the point of what the Neo is for.
    • I disagree. Boomer execs only want one thing; money money money. The original fans of the series want a specific reboot that focuses on the vibe and feel of the original series. Boomers don't want that because then they can't have a 8 to 9 figure return. This was canceled because of greed. 
    • Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger by David Uzondu Image via Meta Meta is expanding Meta Business Agent, a feature that the social media giant promises will help businesses deliver "personalized experiences for customers using AI," launching the tech globally. Before this global release, Meta Business Agent used to be a free test called "Business AI" during a testing phase that started in October 2024. Meta picked India, Mexico, and Brazil to test the software, gathering data from over one million active shops that used the chat tools. The agent works on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger, helping shops answer customer questions, check incoming leads, book appointments, and recommend products from a catalog. Meta said that the business agent can match your brand's unique tone when speaking to customers, and that it plans to improve the feature to handle "daily operations" like market research, product insights, calendars, and rival research. Soon, users will find these AI-supported shops easily by typing names in the WhatsApp search bar. Image via Meta Apart from the Business Agent, Meta is also introducing the Meta Business Agent Platform, a new agentic platform that provides the infrastructure needed to build, customize, and run virtual helpers at scale. With the Platform, companies link their bots to services like Shopify, Zendesk, and Shopee using firm-level controls, guardrails, and metrics to define strict rules. This setup lets coders build custom behaviors, keeping customers happy with direct answers. Speaking of agents, you might have heard that hackers recently broke into Instagram accounts by simply asking the Meta AI support assistant on the mobile app to hand over control. You can check out our coverage on that here.
