[Minecraft] Who still plays it?

[Patrickssj6]

Well I want to know if the game is already dying out and how many people still play it. I bought it recently and got really interested in writing a custom server, so do you play it occasionally?

[ThePlague]

I go from it to BC2. I just can't come up with anything to build.

[thehoodedsmack]

I'm looking forward to the updates that will bring things like dragons and giants. Proper things to fight.

Also, I wish there was a branding tool that could keep selected animals from disappearing. I can't set up a proper farm if my cows and chickens just disappear.

[Donut]

i still play it on a regular basis. and yeah i second that animal thing. idk why they arnt persistent. i just want to cage off some chickens to farm eggs.

[Siliconmaster]

Our entire suite is totally and completely addicted to this game. We have a server running 6 to 8 people at most times, and it's just insane. I don't mind the animals disappearing, because they always spawn at night near torches on dirt, so they'll just reappear later. And eggs aren't good for all that much, so *shrug*

Also, protip for mining:

Dig straight down to a level of 6 (right above where the bedrock starts), and then stripmine it in all directions. The quantity of gems and minerals down there is insane. All other types of mining are just hit and miss. Go 10 feet down there and you will find redstone. And diamond. And Lapis Lazuli. And gold. etc.

[Dwood]

CAAAAKE. U MUST MAKE CAAAAEEKE.

[Cortexian]

I enjoyed server admining on beta, was running my own McLawl server.

[n00b1n8R]

Havn't played in a while but that's mostly due to apathy related to mods getting broken every other week. Or because every SMP server I find with decent server-mods dies out in a fortnight :(

Can't wait for the proper modding API to be released (and for mods to be able to be downloaded from servers :o)
Seriously, modders are what's going to make minecraft great. Notch could stop work now (dohoho) and the game would be fresh for several years at least.

Strip mining is horribly time and tool inefficient. Better to find a nice deep cave (not too rare) and mine what's exposed.

[dark navi]

Run a server generally with about 5 people online. Got the Nether to work last night, so this should be fun.

[Siliconmaster]

Strip mining is horribly time and tool inefficient. Better to find a nice deep cave (not too rare) and mine what's exposed.

Normally I'd agree with you. That was our plan for a long time, but the minerals are so bountiful at this level that strip mining actually gives you more for your work than cave hunting would at a normal level. I found diamond in 30 seconds of hitting bottom, and now I have a diamond pickaxe I'm using to get everything else.

[Patrickssj6]

Would anyone be interested in writing a server?

[EX12693]

I know wmclan.net has a server up right now. I'm in it if anyone wants to join...

[t3h m00kz]

Ever since I started getting diamonds and fortifying my crappy little island, I haven't really had much of a desire to play it very much. Well, that and I started construction on a huge wall that would take fucking forever to build. Which technically shouldn't be a problem, as I have a cobblestone generator.

[Siliconmaster]

I've found that singleplayer my interest lasts about as long as it takes me to get a structure up and build myself a little home. Past that, there's nothing to do.

Then I discovered multiplayer. All of a sudden cooperation was possible, leading to more ambitious projects, and there was a real feeling of accomplishment. I definitely think the main fun of the game is its multiplayer, personally.

[Dwood]

I wish the ai was more coordinated and stuff instead of randomly spawning. Would be more fun if instead of having them scattered every where they were in groups of 1-5, with a larger sight range.

Would also be cool if he actually added 'bridges' like he said he would

[n00b1n8R]

If anybody's going to be making a custom server, it's important to nail down what sort of stuff you want in it.
Is there going to be an economy system? Are you going to mod carts to make automated systems/booster blocks? Teleporters? The warp? Spawning tools? Chat commands?

[dark navi]

I don't know why you would waste your time writing a custom server unless it was because you were bored... Bukkit already provides a glorious API and it isn't even "released".

[sevlag]

at this point if notch does a working UI that allows you to turn mods on and off, he can pretty much be one and done with it and let the community finish the work

Well I had the Idea to have the possibility to have different GameTypes. With a game typer editor that lets you edit almost every setting (cave, percentage of materials, available tools, spawning of monsters / animals).

Because it is a nice challenge :P

[neuro]

i play minecraft yey

[Cortexian]

So who's running a survival (beta) server that I can join? Been playing single player and it's just not as fun without other people.

[Patrickssj6]

Tomorrow I will return to Germany and I am going to see what I can do about setting up a dedicated server. I have already DynDns etc. setup but it is going to take a while to get everything sorted out.

[dark navi]

I run a SMP server @ http://www.odinseye.org/. Pretty fun, still getting a base community to do more things like events.

[Cortexian]

Yeah I was thinking of starting a Modacity SMP server, not sure if anyone would be interested though. Would be home hosted and ThePlague said he was getting quite a bit of lag earlier, not sure if it was him or me. I'll let the server run overnight and into tomorrow morning, note that at night I let all my active torrents upload at 100% of my internet connections capable speed so it gets quite saturated. During the day it's limited to 50% of the connection and everything runs smoother since the tubes aren't clogged.

Server available at:
lancersedge.servegame.org

@dark navi, just registered.

[sevlag]

btw if you start a server use the seed "gargamel" its one of the god tier seeds discovered

then there is:
"10110101"
"dead space"

these three seeds give you a god tier map each time

[Patrickssj6]

The problem really is that the servers are not really good yet. Aside from being machine hoggers, there are no features like "this is my area".

[Cortexian]

Bukkit + Plugins seem to be doing the trick for me. And regions are one of the things available (http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldGuard/Regions) in a few of the plugins I've seen. Lets users stake a plot of land to build on and such.

Still playing around with plugins myself, just running Permissions 2.1, BigBrother, WorldEdit, and WorldGuard.

[dark navi]

Just added you Freelancer!

About the regions and what not:
We run WorldGuard/Edit, but most of our rules are honor-based. We have LWC (Light chest protection) in order to keep possessions safe, as well as giving the player the ability to share chests with a who ever they wish.

e: Freelancer, mind if I change your forums name to match your IGN?

[Dwood]

The update jacked with the mouse input. I don't know what on earth they did but they just single-handedly ruined the game with the smooth turning.

Edit: Looks like I had accidentally pressed F8. nvm.

[Donut]

"Matt" and "Woolie" as seed words make big snowy wonderlands
"Ass" makes a desert wasteland

Cool stuff I'll come check out your server, maybe you can give me some tips on setting up permissions and stuff for WorldEdit/Guard in Permissions 2.1 or suggest another Permissions system since Permissions 2.1 isn't supported anymore.

Feel free to change my forum name to Freelancer852.

Changed your forum name, should be able to log in now.

Anyways, I am still running Permissions 2.0, since 2.1 kills a few of my plug-ins. To my knowledge, WorldEdit/Guard work fine with it. I can dig around for the page, but somewhere (I think the wiki) they have a Permissions node list of all the permissions for the plug-in.

[Cortexian]

Yeah I was trying to find it, I assumed 'worldedit.*' and 'worldguard.*' would work for their respective sets. I just wish it was all as easy as in McLawl/McForge, SQL database handling all the permissions and groups in one place instead of a bunch of different plugins.

[sevlag]

I spawned under a mountain with "gargamel" I had to dig my way out. :/i spawned in a indoor ecosystem sorta

but the map is still eye rapingly beautiful isnt it?

[dark navi]

but the map is still eye rapingly beautiful isnt it?

If you use the same seed, shouldn't the map generation be the exact same?

[Donut]

the map itself will be, yes, but your spawn point will differ.

[Phopojijo]

So if you use the same seed, you'd be identical twins. Go figure.

[sevlag]

yeah where i sapwned looked like an underground cavern sorta, but to my right there was a way up by jumping, i ended up converting my spawn point into a giant underground base

[Cortexian]

Okay, my server is up and (mostly) griefer proof. I've got a bunch of plugins running on Bukkit including Lightweight Inventory Protection (LWC) to protect your chests/furnaces/doors from unauthorized use. Creepers have been modified so they still chase after you and explode causing player damage, but they don't destroy any world-terrain.

Just finishing setting up a pathway from the general spawn area to an area I think is pretty awesome and we should all start building around. Obviously you can tell me to fuck-off and go build somewhere else if you want though... :(

WorldEdit and WorldGuard are also on the server but I need to get the permissions setup correctly and decide what I want basic level users to be able to do and such. BigBrother is on there for Moderators/Admins to use, it's got some handy rollback features to undo any griefing ('/bb rollback FaggotGriefer' and everything FaggotGriefer did in the server gets undone).

lancersedge.servegame.org

Edit: I'm feeling pretty generous about this server right now, so I'd be willing to give the first few people to join a full set of Diamond tools.

[sevlag]

the no damage to world terrain creepers are :I

anyways i jsut joined and i noticed you dont have the /who command on your server to see who is on server at the moment

also alot of the super meat boy tracks work great with MC

edit:

also make spawn actually safe, since you protected the doors regular users cant close them, i ended up near death because of a skeleton

edit2:

sorta laggy, might wanna do something about it...anyways heading up into the mountains to build a fortress

[Cortexian]

/who is /list on my server.

I'll be setting up a better MOTD that shows new players who's online when they join and such.

[EX12693]

Alright. I joined...

Yeah what's your point? It was late and I was bored at my school's library.

[sevlag]

started playing in freelancer's server

found a nice mountain away from all the hubbub and build a house with a strip mine next to it

[Caboos001]

Just started playing again, trying to finish my tower in single player. So pissed that you have to forge cobblestone to make smooth half blocks now; It's going to slow my progress down so much. :gonk:

Going to be moving to a good server on Friday if jcap comes through (jcap you better come through).

[Caboos001]

just logged onto your server, might start building something huge =)

This is by far the coolest thing ever:

Too bad you can't zoom in further. I thought it was gonna be like google maps for Minecraft.

[Cortexian]

Well, you CAN zoom in, just not to far. That's a limitation of the way it renders the tiles I think.

Not sure if the dynmap feature will be moved with the server or not since it requires a little additional setup, but I'll probably be able to get jcap to get it going eventually. As a note, when players are logged in it shows what their current skin's head looks like for their portrait, and their physical location is noted by the top-left corner of the portrait.

[dark navi]

I think there is a way to set up live player positioning for Overviewer. Here is an older render of my server (with WAY too many signs).

[Cortexian]

My server has been transitioned to jcaps servers for the most part, you can connect at:

minecraft.modacity.net

And the Dynamic Map (Dynmap) respectively:
http://minecraft.modacity.net:8123

Unfortunately your player will start back at the global spawn, and any items you had on you will be gone. Items in chests are still there, but the LWC protections need to be re-made. If you used LWC to protect your chests, you'll need to do it again! Homes and Warp locations are still in-tact if you set any of them.

Please report any issues you may have.

EDIT:
http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/2043/stayout.jpg

If you enter the red area, expect lag to the point where text chat shows up 30+ seconds late and blocks disappear because the server isn't registering that you placed them.

[Caboos001]

FreeLancer, I may have found a way to import structures from other peoples saves into your server, up to give it a shot later on?

[Cortexian]

Yeah I'd be willing to give it a try, just let me deal with the new Bukkit update first. New Recommended build = new plugin updates from all the devs.

[sevlag]

the server down or something lancer? i cant connect

[EX12693]

[Cortexian]

It's "Modacity's server" now, but yeah you could copy it in. Just use WorldEdit or something to save the schematic file, upload it to mediafire for some other web host, and PM me the link. Then you can meet up with me in-game and stake out some land for me to paste it on.

[Caboos001]

I would recommend using the tool called McEdit, hell of a lot easier to use.

[Dwood]

Ok guys this minecraft lag is unacceptable with only 2 people on there. Freelancer, if you're doing more dynamic renders, it seriously has to stop, because king_nothing and I are getting terrible lag spikes.

[Cortexian]

Haven't done any of that since last night. I can't access the server or Dynmap right now though, it either crashed or Jcap is playing with it.

He still hasn't set it up so I can restart it remotely yet so blame him.

[ThePlague]

Holy balls we need to use this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cinKaT7amKo

Post about it. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=92206)

[Cortexian]

Doesn't work for Bukkit iirc.

[sevlag]

sent you the schematic for use in MC edit

just paste it over my house as is, if its too high above the skybox, sink it in the ground, i have enough shovels and picks to dig it out

[Caboos001]

So I can't seem to get past the big lake between my tower and the world spawn without hitting a huge lag pocket where chunks take forever to register. Not sure if this has anything to do with the problem but...

Millions of god damn squid...everywhere
2010
all under the lake, constantly spawning

[Dwood]

Turn off critter spawns for a day and see what that does for the lag.

[EX12693]

Griefers? In Modacity's server? It's more likely than you think...

[king_nothing_]

How well do minecarts work in the server? How buggy/laggy are they? I want to build an automated train station and system, but if they're too buggy/laggy then I might as well not waste my time with it.

[Caboos001]

Carts seem to work fine, it's boats that don't stand a chance.

[Dwood]

[Dwood]

Only because EX complained to me that you were griefing.

Someone other than E3pO should be in charge of that Halo Master Server project. Especially of he's this big of a fucktard.

[EX12693]

Well Like I said.. Dwood did some small stuff but I dont really care about that anymore lol...
There were two griefers. Then there was one. Now he's banned. Is all good. :D

[Caboos001]

You all are silly. By the way, who burned down my forest?

[Dwood]

a single torch doesnt burn down trees, its fire doesnt spread, someone must have put flint and tinder to it if thats possible

[Cortexian]

I rolled back all of the changes made by E3pO, so any blocks he modified have been reverted.

[Dwood]

Freelancer, you should give all the players who've played consistently on Modacity server, something like 64 bedrock so we can make truly safe saferooms like the one in your house.

Just noticed the second one made it into the game.
I don't think it's in. Server is finicky though. Has its ups and downs lol.

[Cortexian]

I'm thinking we may need to start a fresh world to eliminate the issues we've been having with chunks and server performance. I know, it's really shitty.

I'll still be able to re-import things from your single-player worlds, and I'll compensate those of you that have been active like Dwood, Ex, King Nothing, Severlag, etc with a reasonable amount of materials to compensate for anything lost as well as time spent building on the server.

Couldn't you, like...remove those chunks and replace them with chunks that aren't fucked up?

[Cortexian]

I don't really want to bring anything from the old world into the new one. If you remember, the chunk you originally started building in was fine until we started using the server tools to manipulate that area.

Isn't there something you could do to fix it other than just starting completely over? You said there's 3 bad chunks...out of God knows how many total chunks...and your only solution is to start over from scratch? Why don't you just fix/replace those chunks?

Making us lose tons of stuff we created doesn't seem necessary at all.

[Cortexian]

There is no way to replace/reset/delete/restore/anything to specific chunks. Can only build a new world.

[Siliconmaster]

Can't you use mcedit to edit the chunk itself?

This. Open the world in mcedit. Delete the area which is causing problems. Then open a different world, find an area which has roughly the same surface level height, and paste it into our world.

The problem is that the entire chunk is affected, I don't know of any tools that will regenerate the chunk at its default state from the same world seed. Not to mention that it was a randomly generated world seed since it was a multiplayer server.

If you guys give me a list of the things you want copied to the new world, I'll get them copied and then you can meet me in-game at some point and let me know where you'd like it pasted.

I'm still looking into ways of getting the chunks fixed, but I don't think there's any way to do it.

I was hoping to do so big alterations on my tower then have that version pasted in at a later time. If you're up to it, could you get me a schematic file of my current tower? Just the tower, don't care about the wall or village outside.

I'm not talking about regenerating the chunk to its default state. I'm talking about deleting it and then replacing it with a random chunk from a separate world.

1. Open the current Modacity world in MCEdit
2. Delete the chunk(s) that is causing problems, taking note of the average surface height of that chunk
3. Save it
3. Generate a new world and open it in MCEdit
4. Find a chunk that has roughly the same surface height as the chunk you deleted from the Modacity world
5. Copy and paste that chunk into the Modacity world in the hole where the deleted chunk was
6. Save it
7. Restart the server

Right?

[Dwood]

rar it up and upload it so we can edit it. via hex if need be.

And in other news, the server has been down for about 30 hours now. Does jcap ever actually get on the internet?

[Cortexian]

He has some issues with the servers right now, mainly they're trying to find a new building for them or something. So he's busy.

I took the liberty of installing DeathChest while the server was down though, now when you die all of the items in your inventory will automatically be placed into a chest at that location. You have 24 hours to retrieve it. The chests are automatically protected with LWC.

EDIT: While the Modacity server is down, mine is back up.

lancersedge.servegame.org

It's a Gargamel seed world, fresh though. Mainly just up so when I have and idea to try I can go for it. But it's running all the same plugins as the Modacity server.

Servers up :D

They're using LWC's public protection, meaning you can use them but not destroy them. Unless Bukkit's default spawn protection is affecting them there shouldn't be an issue.

EX#'syeah they seem to open for a player but then revert to normal, try removing the protecting for now, if not just make a spawn thats off the ground and the only way up is ladders or a water elevator

There seems to be a spider near my house that just wont ever go away. I'd like to fence off the area so its safe but I cant get out there...

E: Never mind I killed it.

[Cortexian]

spiders are only aggressive at night, during the day they won't attack you unless you attack them first.

[TeeKup]

Lies and slander. I was in the top floor of my house smelting iron and the fucker attacked me.

[king_nothing_]

If they were chasing the player during the night, they will continue to chase them during the day.
^

[TeeKup]

I don't recall antagonizing a spider at night but what ever.

Also the chest system is broken, I died twice from a fucking creeper while I was fencing in my area and both chests were empty. First time I lost 20 iron ingot, 2 of each iron tools, a stack of 64 and 14 coal, an iron sword, and 40 fences.

Also.. put a whitelist to the server.. im tired of these random griefers...
and the door lock system is borked...

Meh...the number of active players is low enough as it is; whitelisting it would impede its growth. If someone comes in and griefs, an admin can just rollback their changes and blacklist them. That should suffice.

[Cortexian]

that works when the server doesn't crash and lose all the rollback info.

:downs:

[king_nothing_]

Yeah, if rollback isn't always going to be available, then we need to whitelist it.

If anyone wants to help me test a server i'm currently running (vanilla 1.8.1) feel free to contact me through steam/skype. I'm using it as a survival temp server until modashittys comes around :)

It's hosted on an amazon aws micro server. So far it's been able to hold 3 people nicely, as long as no one's jumping through chunks or whatnot.

[EX12693]

Sure, what's the ip?

[ThePlague]

Has anyone gotten the pocket edition yet? I was thinking of getting this phone (http://www.amazon.com/Straight-Samsung-Galaxy-Precedent-Android/dp/B005MUC9DY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318896954&sr=8-1) today, and supposedly it can run on it.

[InnerGoat]

I have the demo and the controls are crappy if all you have is the touch screen. Your link doesn't work btw.

[ThePlague]

Yeah, I fixed it. I'm probably getting the phone tonight, so i'll see how it is then. From the videos I saw, it didn't look bad. Just something to waste time with.

[Corndogman]

Pretty much what Goat said, hard to control. I have a Samsung Galaxy S and it runs great. Dunno about that version of it though.

[ThePlague]

I got the phone, but it says it's not compatible with the game :(

Ok so Notch finally grew a pair and enabled native support of HD texture packs in 1.9! :-D

Minecraft 1.0 is slated to be released in one month. Looks like it's going to have a ton of new features.

[ThePlague]

1.0 or 2.0?

Minecraft Beta 1.10/1.11 --> Minecraft 1.0

Breaking: Notch sucks at versioning, more at 11.

[EX12693]

Minecraft BETA 1.9 goes to Minecraft 1.0

[Zeph]

Yeah, just read that they had a code freeze in effect. I was actually hoping that there'd be something more to do with villagers other than poke them with a sword or arrow before 1.0.
