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 :)

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
