Haha yeah

Re: Minecraft
 

Did you find your way before it crashed or are you still at the ship?

Re: Minecraft
 

I got stuck at the spawn point trying to find my way back. I think ill just die and spawn back at my place. wont be losing too much

Re: Minecraft
 

Is the server having problems? I can't log in

Re: Minecraft
 

Its down at the moment. Cant handle Me and Blak's shenannigans! :noon

Re: Minecraft
 

Guess I'll go back on my diamond hunt then

Re: Minecraft
 

Yup I already sent a rail car down the track empty

Re: Minecraft
 

I love Minecraft. Would love to play with some CA people!

Re: Minecraft
 

Just posted on there using my MC alias. Mr. Rocket ;)

Re: Minecraft
 

So how do we get on this server? ;)

Re: Minecraft
 

PM incoming!

Re: Minecraft
 

it seemed appropriate to put this here :)

Re: Minecraft
 

I accepted the newest update and now I can't play on MP, so I was working on my SP a little. It is an awesome map so far:

Re: Minecraft
 

If anybody is on the Minecraftaholics MP server, be aware the server will be shutting down. The lack of activity doesn't justify the price out of our pockets.

Re: Minecraft
 

So, no more multiplayer? Is there a chance players can chip in, making it a private server?

Re: Minecraft
 

Doesn't sound like it, people can donate on the website but nobody does. Hardly anybody is on there anymore. You can send Hammy a PM on minecraftaholics inquiring about it. Tibs hosts the server and me and Hammy have paid for it so far. I am no longer contributing to the site or server and Hammy isn't either.

Re: Minecraft
 

I've not been on since you gave me my plot of land honestly...after the version upgrade that left me mismatched, soon after that I never saw it online again?

I've got a personal server running at my house. I'll see if maybe I can get something going (more server mods + setup correctly) to get a CA server available. Right now it's just me and my friend that uses the server. The only issue I see is that occasionally I need to shut it down when I'm playing another game, but that's pretty rare.

Re: Minecraft
 

That would be cool, keep us posted :tu

Re: Minecraft
 

I've been swamped with school lately and haven't played much at all. I did just jump on a friends server and built a little house and mine since spring break started.

Re: Minecraft
 

How much does a server cost? I had a friend who bought one and said it was $14 a month? He didn't keep up with it so we couldn't play on it anymore. Even if we set up a CA server for say, 20 ppl we could easily all chip in.

Re: Minecraft
 

Did anybody see the forests since the new update? It is insane, huge trees, huge.

Re: Minecraft
 

I've seen the trees on my friend's server, he planted a few around. Still haven't found an actual jungle in the game where there are a bunch of them.

Re: Minecraft
 

Oh man you gotta see the one I just started. You wouldn't believe these trees, sizes and quantity.
I will try to take a screen shot.

This doesn't do it justice because I can't set it to the highest distance. I am about 30 blocks high in a tree in this pic.

Re: Minecraft
 

That's pretty nuts...I almost think I should start a new map on my server and just let everybody have at it. The current map was created circa beta 1.7 I think.

Was trying to get a couple mods working this morning before I left for work, but no go. Will work on it some more tonight.

Re: Minecraft
 

Just started a new map in creative and found one, pretty cool stuff, even saw a few ocelot running around.

Re: Minecraft
 

Alrighty, got the server up and running. I need anybody who is interested to PM me with their player name so I can add it to the whitelist and I'll reply back with the server IP (don't want to post it up publicly).

Started a brand new map, spawn point is right next to a great jungle biome and right on the beach, pretty cool. It's a blank slate, and I don't really have any specific care one way or another of where you can/can't to build. I guess if you want a particular area, just stake claim to it with something noticeable (out of place blocks, torches, a foundations, fence...whatever you like).

It is default survival, but I'll gladly turn on creative mode for whoever wants it.

I figure there will probably only be about a half a dozen of us on there, and it's only us and one of my RL friends, so we don't need to worry about griefers or the like.

Re: Minecraft
 

Very cool Brian, thanks!


SIDE NOTE: If anyone hasn't checked out the technic pack before, it's a pretty well done mod that adds a TON of stuff to the game. complicated machinery, block parts, all kinds of stuff. Worth playing around with :)

technic is for SSP

tekkit is for SMP

Re: Minecraft
 

Hey all!

Glad to see a lot of interest in the server. As of now we have:

Myself
Crasmith (my friend)
Emjaysmash
izelforshezel (MJ's brother)
spectrrr
Blak_Smyth
Backwoods357
MurphysLaw_

I'm waiting for Cartograph G to get a working 1.2 version up and I'll post a current map.

To begin with, everybody is in Survivor mode. If you would like to be creative, just let me know and I can change your game mode.

Really no rules to speak of. Just play nice (no worries on that, it's just us!), try not to build too close to each other so everybody has room to expand, and have fun :)

Re: Minecraft
 

Server is going great, thanks Brute!
It's funny, we have a B&M now!

I am learning alot about red stone thanks to some of you more experienced builders!

Re: Minecraft
 

It is! Thanks for putting it together! I know my Bro and I are having a good time playing!

Re: Minecraft
 

Are you guys doing that HUGE tree?

Re: Minecraft
 

Yep. ;) Hopefully it stands up to everything you guys have made so far.

Re: Minecraft
 

Its sooo HUGE, hahaha. I like it.

Re: Minecraft
 

Let me just say that I'm severely impressed by all of you guys. You all are building some impressive structures!

Glad I could get a CA server running for us, it's been a lot of fun so far.

Also, I'd like to apologize for any slowness/chunk errors you experience. I've tried to optimize it best I can (my first go at it with just my friend was terrible), but I can't get rid of those chunk errors. If any of you have any ideas on that, let me know. As far as the slowness/lag, well...you can blame AT&T for that :p rofl

As always, if there is anybody else here who would like to join the server, just PM me and I can get you the info :)

Re: Minecraft
 

Spent much of today just playing with red wire. So much you can do, it's like minecraft engineering!

Im gonna have to start posting some screen shots.

Re: Minecraft
 

weee, finally got around to stopping by. wandered around a bit, posted a note on the board. I suppose I'll pick a spot to start building next time I'm on. I posted my skills on the board, let me know if I can help with anything.

Had the game since Alpha, but I havn't played since 1.0 came out, so I am WAY outdated on all the new stuff.

Don't expect any big impressive buildings out of me, my architectural design skills are measure don the negative scale :tg.

After establishing a base, a mine, and some basic wealth, I might prioritize building an auto exp farm, get lvled, and crank out high level enchantments on some tools....

Server questions:
1) Have we been playing creative, or "mine it yourself if you want to build it"?
2) Daylight mod? seems like I could see quite well at night.... and didn't seem like the zombies were burning up in the daytime...
3) server? bukkit I assume?

Re: Minecraft
 

Most of us play creative mode, some play survivor.
We have placed a lot of candles around to illuminate the surrounding areas, this may explain the ability to see at night? I have seen many mobs burning, however I have also seen many not burn, not sure really.
I don't think it is bukkit since bukkit takes for ever to create a stable version and we are playing the most current one, but not sure.

Re: Minecraft
 

I normally play in survival on my own, but I've been playing in creative mode while on the server to build things. Once I get bored of building I'll go off somewhere and go spelunking in survival mode.

Re: Minecraft
 

Hey, whatever you build is good with us man, we're just here to have fun :)

Server Answers:
1) Most of us are playing in creative, if you're familiar with OP commands I can OP you and you can switch yourself back and forth if you'd like.

2) No mods on this server at all actually, haha. I think they changed something with the brightness in the last update, because mobs are now bugged and don't always burn up during the day (it was listed in known bugs on Mojang's page).

3) Server is just at my house and is only the plain vanilla MC server from the official site. Is bukkit a host service or is it just a server mod?

Re: Minecraft
 

ahh yeah, that would be great to switch between em. I prefer to play on survival... but use creative for experimenting with engineering projects and discovering physics glitches :)

I havn't messed with minecarts since notch "broke" everything with the glitch physics update/fix. Starting to get the urge to work on minecarts or a mechanism...



bukkit is an alternative server to the mojang distributed one. It's major advantage is the ability to run a wide swath of plugins, from ones that tweak minor irritants, to drastically changing the game play completely to ones that grant or deny permissions and commands to groups of people. *MANY* public servers you see on the net are running bukkit, due to the latter.

I used to manage a bukkit server my friend set up in his house a while back (not enough bandwidth in my house), I'm quite familiar with op commands (now lets see how many I remember, lol)

BIG drawback to bukkit is that its developed by an outside group, which means they're always a step behind mojang for pumping out stable releases. Right now it's got beta releases out for 1.2.3 and the last (rock solid) stable release was 1.1

What it generally comes down to however is if it aint broke, don't bother fixin it!. unless you've got a burning desire to tinker with plugins, K.I.S.S. always works the easiest :) ... only reason I had asked was because of the chunk errors you mentioned - I had experienced them in bukkit before and was curious if there was link there. seems like the answer to that is no!

Re: Minecraft
 

Yeah, I don't really have much need/desire to lock down the server since it's just us and none of us are going to be griefing each other :p

Plugins might be fun, but for now I think we're all having fun with vanilla :) Maybe if we get bored, haha

Re: Minecraft
 

From personal experience, Bukkit is a nightmare. Waiting months for a stable version is such a bore.

Re: Minecraft
 

:tu

I too have shared that experience.

It SEEMS that they've gotten lately about that. There's still the recommended build, but apparently the "beta" builds are a little more ready for prime time than previously. But that's just from my reading, I havn't run a bukkit server since ~0.8

But again, why put ourselves through it if we don't really want it :tg, things look great :)

Re: Minecraft
 

Server needs updated. New update just came out, I can't join the server until it is updated because I accepted it already.

Re: Minecraft
 

Roger that, I'll get it updated when I get home in a few hours.

Re: Minecraft
 

:tu Thanks brother. I'll sacrifice blocks at your church to show my appreciation!

Re: Minecraft
 

Haha, all hail the mighty Endermen :r

Re: Minecraft
 

Today I was deep in the earth and was away from my computer for a bit and when I got back to my desk there was an enderman just standing point blank in my face creepin on me. Made me laugh, they are soo creepy.
