I don't suppose we could get that web map running again? It was nice to get an overall picture of the world.

 

The dynamic map requires a custom server software as it was a plugin for the server. currently we are running Vanilla Minecraft. (stock from Mojang)

been working trying to get a netbook to run the game so i can play it more when i am not at home but the best i can do is 8 FPS right now :( any have any luck getting the game to run better with an intel 4000 graphics card? technically its not much of a netbook here are the specs.

 

Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Intel Mobile Core 2 Solo @ 1.4 Ghz

3Gb DDR 2 RAM

Intel Mobile 4000 Graphics running 1366x768@60HZ 11in Display

250Gb HDD

 

Sadly Optifine has not been updated yet for the latest version of MC so I cannot load that to test it. I am thinking the thing might just be too slow.

Mac Mini Server, Core i7 2.0GHz + Intel 4000. I get about 35 FPS. I think the limitation there is the Processor, not the graphics card.

nope, dynmape can be used on vanilla servers just fine (the server does need forge installed though)

das any one know what the difacolty is set at it seems to be on hared and i wood like it to go back to what it was at befor pleas. :rolleyes:

 

It is the changes in 1.6 i believe. I personally haven't found it any harder just more zombies are spawning. Apart from that killing them is still as easy as before.

Go mental with torches and that should protect you.

Yeah, I was thinking that might be the case as it is a single core and a single thread it just cannot push that much data.

But MC is multithreaded. Sorta at least. It easily burns through all my 4 cores with lots of stuff around.

His system _should_ be able to run MC, maybe even properly playable with optifine.Which isnt updated to 1.6 yet though.

I lid up a large area on the south side of spawn. The more is lid, the less problems :P and the more mobs in the trap.

This ugly thing, the mob trap. Can be used for easy exp or just automatic material grinding. Open for public use. Its close to spawn so it always stays somewhat active with people around (or that's the idea) its just very very ugly. But better than it was.

And can be modified by anyone who wants to make it look a little bit better (i tried, im not so artistic :() just please do not remove any obsidian blocks in there :P

 

 

 

Oh and for those that havent noticed yet. We're back to good ol bukkit with plugins. I'm off to find me a nice home.

I've added a few plugins so let me know if you notice anything different from the past week.

 

I guess the thing most people have been asking for is the Map Support.

 

Can you provide a list of what plugins have been added?

 

Thanks

In my experience this doesn't actually do anything with the Client itself, you can allocate more memory to the Java VM but the Minecraft sub-process itself will still only sit around using a few hundred MB. If anything you'll just cause more swapping and actually hurt the performance.

 

This technique is however good for Tekkit/FTB.

I can't check right now - which plug-ins did you add? And is the server on 1.6.2 yet or are you waiting for the official release later today?

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.

      It is notable that around 70% of web browser users choose Google Chrome. However, it is puzzling why anyone on Windows would opt for Chrome when Microsoft Edge is often superior in many aspects and comes pre-installed. Edge collects less data, uses less RAM, and is more optimized for Windows as a native Microsoft product. While some may point to bloat in Edge, much of it can be removed with simple tools, requiring no more effort than installing Chrome. Meanwhile, Chrome reportedly downloads large amounts of AI data (4 GB) without explicit consent. I'm sure you Chrome users love that, or? Here is one example of a tool that doesn't even need to be installed to be able to use: https://github.com/TheBobPony/MSEdgeTweaker Although Microsoft’s aggressive promotion of Edge may be questionable, the browser’s current advantages make it a preferable choice over Chrome today, even if Chrome may have been better in the past.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
