So if anybody finds themselves near my neck of the woods, I've built a simple furnace/hopper mechanism in my shack for anybody to use.  If you use it, please put some coal or wood or something back in it so I and others can continue to use it.  ANYWAY, I just thought I'd throw it out there.

 

To use it just deposit your fuel into the side hopper and deposit the thing you wish to smelt or cook into the top hopper.  When it's done, the resulting item(s) will be placed in the chest that is underneath the furnace.  I'm not sure if there's something like this already in the spawn area or not, but I built it out here for myself and if you come across it and would like to use it, go ahead.

 

The shack is currently being expanded on, but I'll probably leave the structure in this spot and venture forth into other areas as the need arises.  There's an interesting looking mountain nearby I may pay a visit to, or I may just start burrowing right outside my door, :p

Spigot, with the Essentials plug-in.

Thanks, :-)

 

I'm done for the night, I have to go to work tomorow.  I've played Minecraft on the Neowin server for something like 6 hours now, lol.  My time though, has been quite productive, and I've got lots more work to do in the dungeon I managed to find, here's some screenshots, :-)

By the way, I just thought I'd let you guys know that apparently there's a dungeon under the starting area, :p There was some sort of a hiccup in the starting area and the ground disappeared (although I could still walk on it) and here's what I saw under my feet.  Somebody has apparently cleared it, I see all kinds of torches in it, but still interesting.

Is the server up?

 

I haven't had any issues connecting to it over the weekend. There might be a brief downtime tonight European time - I want to check if there are any updates for Spigot and the plug-ins we use.

I've noticed that sometimes in the world list on my client it might say something like "cannot connect", but when I click on it to enter it connects just fine.

Just made my first map, and I've noticed it gets automagically filled in.  Just out of curiosity, do I still have to make a new map for each "map" of the world I move into, or will this one work since the map is already filled in?

Any chance I could be added to the whitelist i am dan2406

I didn't see your request yesterday, sorry. Going to whitelist you later today, when I'm home from work.

nevermind about the multiplayer sleeping post.  It doesn't work with spigot.

There is a spigot plugin to handle this: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/single-player-sleep.20173/

 

Perhaps we can install that when the server is upgraded?

I'll keep it in mind.

Note: The server upgrade depends on how quickly Spigot is updated. Chances are Spigot 1.9.4 will be out by the time I get home in roughly six hours.

    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
