now that SLI is back up and running on my computer (Windows 8.1 update could not recognize my second graphics card so i had to wait for a vBIOS update.) I will see how well MC runs now lol.

A few notes about the server:

 

I'm hoping there won't be a need for a reset again anytime soon. 1.7 kind of necessitated it with the terrain generation and biome changes.

 

If anything we'll add Bukkit and a handful of plug-ins once they're compatible with 1.7. Other than that the server is going to remain mostly vanilla, survival only. 

 

Keep on building and make it a truly epic Minecraft world! :)

Just curious, but could the first post be updated to show what is currently set up on the server?   It doesn't seem to reflect what is there much at all (not that I know much about switching game modes or such). But is there a survival and a creative world?

The First post is very outdated now, we have reset twice since it was written. (due to new biomes) We used to have Survival & Creative but it required more plugins and slower to upgrade to new MC versions, We now have just one world that is survival only :)

Chasethebase was in favour of splitting the thread, if we go with that I think not from when 1.7 was released, instead after my little accident. :shiftyninja:

 

Maybe for now just update server version from 1.4.7 to 1.7.1 and strike through any lines referring to creative :)

 

oh and remove the port number from the live map url! (It's not up atm but when it is, it was changed to just mc.neowin.net a long time ago)

Crisp had a good idea on the server: Post a brief article about the MC server on the front page to attract new players. Ideally with screenshots showing off what has been built already. Thoughts?

timan was going to do that ages ago i think. I provided pictures for it.

Nothing ever happened though.

 

I think it is a good idea, although i think you'll see a lot more one post wonders asking to be white listed.

We're still going to be careful who can come on and who not. 

 

At the moment there are 40 whitelisted players, 33 of which have been on the server. Not too bad a player base for a start I reckon. Also there are usually some players on now, unlike before the reset...

I am still surprised we have not decided to use a web portal to handle the Whitelist requests as well as to display some information about the server itself.

Last night I collected enough eyes of ender from people to activate the End Portal, I have made a short pathway onto the land and a long path away from the island ready for the ender farm.

 

Some people are ready to fight the dragon now, but it should be an event for as many as possible to attend.

 

 

So when do we want to fight it?

 

I propose either later tonight or tomorrow night and on Hard :D

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.81-23-g6fadb Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.2.2540 Updated MediaInfo DLL to version 26.05 Updated MPC Audio Renderer Several crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.

    • No problems here using the new Outlook. In our company we started to default installing to users on new computers or when we're reimaging. But, if the user needs/ask for the classic one, we install it. Low reject rate at this point.
    • Yeah it's my only home/business computer. The Surface Pen magnetic Storage is on the left side, but it doesn't charge the Pen. I do the charging once every 6+ months by interchanging between 2 rechargeable AAAA batteries and charging the other via a USB A battery charger.
