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 am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
