official Neowin.net Minecraft Server (Old Server)

[Louisifer]

it's been that way for a few weeks now, no idea why but you have to break the block its on :(

[Slugsie]

Ah, did it happen about the same time you guys were messing with the permissions for the flying craft? It's probably related if that's the case.

I'm going to update Bukkit and some plug-ins, as well as disable unneeded plug-ins, as soon as I get home. 

[Louisifer]

As OP we have access to every permission and I still had to break the block to remove it, could be a bukkit bug or movecraft bug, I think both were updated/installed before people noticed the frames.

Well, now I really can't wait for 1.8 to be released.  Running the latest snapshot I'm actually able to run minecraft at 30-40 fps on my intel hd 3000 graphics card.  The optimizations sound like things they should have done from the beginning, but no matter.

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

I'm not 100% sure what to do about 1.8 yet. I'd like to update as soon as possible, on the other hand I want to keep our current Bukkit with a few plug-ins setup.

Will Minecraft 1.8 require a world reset?

No. At most I'm going to trim some of the terrain, but there isn't going to be a full reset. 

[Slugsie]

Can I request that 1.8 waits until both Bukkit and Forge are updated to work with it? It doesn't bring a huge amount to gameplay IIRC (some new blocks, and a couple mobs).

[Louisifer]

I brings multi threading and loads only the blocks you see now instead of the whole chunks so its a big thing. :D I don't mind waiting on bukkit but forge could take forever to get updated and its not used by everyone. :P

In exited for slime blocks. Seems like there should be some fun applications with those!

What is the command to lock chests again?

 

nevermind

 

 

I've been getting frequent disconnects for the past few days.  Just want to do some afk fishing but can't really stay on for more than 5 minutes at a time.

My 5-year old and I have been playing local for a bit but would like to try some multiplayer. I figure the Neowin community would be best to start out - anything to be aware of? We are still figuring the game out and don't want to ruin the experience for others. Thanks all!

I can whitelist you when I come home tonight. On the whole there's not much to be aware of besides the usual rules - no griefing of other people's builds, no invading their space.

 

You're free to pick a plot somewhere and build. Just keep in mind that the server is set to survival.

I, and a couple others, have been mucking around on my private server with the weekly snapshots. Some fun things coming in 1.8. :)

[+Neyht Subscriber²]

They've changed the way you make fences in minecraft

 

 

 

 

also... different color fences.

 

 

Surprised that I found this out myself.

[Slugsie]

Nice. Seems 1.8 also has different colour wooden doors too. :)

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

Hopefully it won't be too long until Mojang releases 1.8. There's some fun stuff in it I can't wait to use.

 

As an idea: Would anyone be opposed to building a storage room for all the new blocks near spawn? I could fill a couple of double chest, thus eliminating the need to generate new terrain,

[Haggis Veteran]

Cant wait for 1.8, if people are getting 30-40fps on Intel 3000 graphcis should benefit me too on the 4* series

[Crisp]

I don't recall seeing much improvements in frame rate playing the snapshot :s

Not a fan of the beech door. :/ You can also change beacon light beams to different colours with coloured glass. :D

 

How's the ?50 space beta? :p

[Slugsie]

It's pretty good, and cost me way more than ?50.

 

If you pop over to my server I've set up a colour changing beacon. It's quite cool.

I think it would be better to regen a blank bit of land, and have access to it from the travel agents at spawn.

[Louisifer]

I was saying to Chasethebase the other day that I may go and find a nice area that's surrounded by new generation, kind of an Alt-Spawn that you can travel too if you want the new start feel. :)

 

People could use Amidst to check out the world layout and vote on where it is. :D

Exploring new land, server loves it :D
