You didn't ask to be whitelisted on the new server instance, did you?

 

I did here, I thought your post was just a reply to all those who had applied. If you hadn't seen my post thats okay :)

I didn't see that post, sorry. Whitelisted.

In terms of rail, I'm going to set up a rail station at spawn soon. I have found the End Portal (but recommend not entering it yet), which I will link to spawn via rail. Do people prefer overground or underground rails?

Underground rails. Overground railways tend to clutter the landscape.

I was still playing around 11PM EST last night and I am happy with where this new server is started. It has a more open and friendly atmosphere than the old one did, Very excited to see where people go with it. OH and Amazingly named horses.

Horses spawn very far from the spawn point? 

So I started to notice last night when I tried converting a few texture packs that the provided texture pack converter for 1.6 did not function for me all night, Then I got to looking into how to create a texture pack and it looks like there has to be a configuration file that goes with it. And the Texture pack converter that Mojang provides does not create that file. Ended up having to recreate my texture pack :(

 

If anyone does not know this is where you get the Texture Pack converter, perhaps you will have better luck.

i am not certain if the site would allow this however, would there be a way to create a page under "More" in the header and list the Minecraft server, complete with Server information (up / down status, server IP, current load.), Map link, basic rules, and a form for people to submit their Neowin username and Minecraft username for request for whitelisting, that way people are not missed in the forum and it keeps all the information in one convenient location, then we can use the forum page for discussion and image posting and whatnot.

    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
