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.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
