We could really use some screenshots of some of the builds on any of the worlds. Anyone up for the task?

I did do a load but then looking back at them, the HUD look a bit too much.

So then i read F1 removes the HUD, so i will redo them. They are going to be 1.5MB each. I might have to convert them to jpg, that should make them smaller.

The Minecraft Redstone Update is coming on Wednesday, March 13

The change log is as follows?

  • Added Redstone Comparator (used in Redstone logic)
  • Added Hopper (collects items and moves them to containers)
  • Added Dropper (similar to Dispensers, but always drops the item)
  • Added Activator Rail (activates TNT Minecarts)
  • Added Daylight Sensor
  • Added Trapped Chest
  • Added Weighed Pressure Plate
  • Added Block of Redstone
  • Added Nether Brick (item)
  • Added Nether Quartz and ore
  • Added Block of Quartz, with half blocks and chiseled variants
  • New command: /scoreboard
  • New command: /effect
  • Containers and mobs can have custom names
  • Inventory management has been changed, for example you can drag-place items over slots
  • Texture packs now have separate images for each block and item, and can have animations
  • Nether Quartz Ore now spawns in the Nether
  • Smooth lighting now has three settings (none, minimal, maximum)
  • More detailed death messages
  • Some hostile mobs now are harder in Hard difficulty
  • Many, many, bug fixes
  • Removed Herobrine

Someone go to the end (ender trap) and knock a few blocks out of that area where its flooding now. Don't knock a hole in the floor though.

I'm being kicked constantly for flying (or retarded

I guess it should've stayed hidden :p

^ which means waiting with the client update until the server and all plugins are updated. Wait for Timan to tell you it's safe to update to 1.5.

Any idea for an ETA after release or? Havent played MC before this, usually it takes days? weeks? months? centuries?

Yes it does seem to be down. Usually it comes back in 10-15 minutes.

Is it just me or does the backup go on forever and while it is working it lags the server and prone to crashing.

Yesterday i got kicked twice when the backup started and the server was unreachable for about 20 minutes.

Yeah, sometimes the backup handler breaks things; I had a similar issue on my old Server, thankfully I had the interval set to once every 24 hours. But I understand why Neowin needs to backup often.

Is it a timed interval?

It has always felt random to me. Like when a certain amount of blocks are removed/placed it starts a backup.

Always seems to do it at the worst possible time for me either way. :laugh:

Yeah it was every 10-15min or so before, Timan already slowed it down to once every 30min or so. But even on crashes back when i login i'm where i was (or very close) and not at places when the backup was taken :/ But I have noticed little lag during backups since the resource expansion :)

Working on it

Cool.

While your around, any ETA for 1.5?

Oh and if you get to it, please spawn 2 or 3 ender dragons :D

Oh and it was yesterday i think when anad and bsarmir where online (maybe during the night or evening before) when the map already started having issues, failed to load entirely on IE, and it basically crashed when i tried to zoom in or move around the map. Turned into a black screen.

Maybe somewhat usefull, maybe not :)

Cool.

While your around, any ETA for 1.5?

the eta for 1.5 will depend on when bukkit can get a stable 1.5 server out (or beta depending) and if any plugins being used break with said update

so I'd guess 3 weeks to a month and a half after 1.5 goes final till the neowin server can update

Great I updated mine to 1.5 by accident and now cannot get onto the server.. anything I can do?

Replace the existing minecraft jar with this one from minecraft.net site :)

    • 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
