Update is pretty good, I was needing some new things to do and make. Haven't found any new ore yet, or used dyes. I can't wait to hunt a squid. I wish he could get updates like this out every few weeks.

Thank you! I posted in the NFL thread about a month ago and I got heckled for it and someone said that I should change it in respect for epileptic people. I really don't think an epileptic person should be playing video games, much less talking about them on a forum, if they can't handle a tiny little avatar.

I don't think I'm epileptic, but flickering/flashing bothers me. A lot of games don't bother me, but rapid-but-visible flickering is as far as I know a trigger for photosensitive people. It's just a general considerateness thing.

Can anyone confirm if extra portals spawning in the middle of nowhere, or portals not ending in the proper places, was fixed?

I think Notch mentioned he was going to check on the new update for bugs later this week? I think I read that on the forums or some blog. Maybe the spawning portals are still there. I haven't ventured outside to check it out, but since the first random portal I saw in MC happened right after I updated to this new version I doubt he has fixed the issue.

I'll let you know if I see another random portal.

Another thing he mentioned is that he's definitely going to make future updates entirely optional. I really hope he implements this for the next big one since I don't want to keep moving folders from one location to the other in order to play vanilla and moded MC.

So is the nether supposed to be what exactly?

I finally got a portal done and crossed and just arrived at a cave. Nothing else but a small cave. I digged a lot but couldn't find anything so I just came back to the nromal world.

If I broke the portal and build it again the nether portal will appear on the same place or will it create another on another spawn point?

Oh hai.

I've changed the server address . this is our best defense against greifing, and i can cycle the names whenever necessary.

I haven't restored any backups, the world is still fresh, so you'll need to repair any damages. Let me know if you need something spawned to make you whole again (i.e something stolen/destroyed) that you can't get in the community tower. PM me on GAF.

Also, there's a present waiting for you. it's so exciting!
if it's too laggy lemme know...

First visit to the server and it's pretty laggy. And I got killed three times in 3 minutes because I spawned at about 11PM and still had all night to wait. Plus now there's two Creeper holes in front of buildings. And I don't know how they were before so I can't even fix them!

I'm trapped. Down in a mine under a really nice looking floating house. And there's no way out because there's no ladder, instead a sign that says "Water ladder, break to start". But it doesn't work. I don't know how the fuck water ladders work so now I'm stuck down here because I don't know how to teleport or kill myself and all I have is wool.

Well, that was fun. That's what I get for exploring.

Sounds like you're under DiabolicalBagel's place. I did the exact same thing a little while ago. You can try to dig out, as that's what I had to do. Just make sure to fix anything important you destroy.

I got no tools and only wool. It'd take me forever to dig my way out and I wouldn't even have any materials to fix my hole with later because hands don't leave collectable rocks. I'll have to wait until I get someone to teleport me or Bagel builds a real ladder.

Diabolical indeed.

Guys, anyone else having problems with the new beta? It seems to lag like crazy for me. It's almost unbearable to play at some parts. This never happened to me with 1.1_02 ... I tried reinstalling it, all vanilla, no mods and it's still the same, wtf.

To whoever worked on the tunnel connecting my bridges thanks! Now to make it all pretty like. You saved me the aggravation of making the decision of where it should go.

Had a quick go in the server. It was great fun exploring.

As soon as the lag and load of glitches is fixed, this is gonna be an awesome game.

I'm trying to get my flatmate hooked on this game by setting up a local server so we can play a bit together, but I have one small problem... He hasn't bought Minecraft, and for understandable reasons don't want to just so he can try it. Is there any way for him to try it on my server without pirating it or buying it? I've tried to connect in offline mode, but it just says I'm not a premium user and won't let me connect.

What's the best texture pack? I was initially interested in Scribblecraft, but it looks like it could give me a headache. I was then thinking maybe something to make it look more detailed.

But, honestly, graphics aren't why I like Minecraft.

Wow I've been away from Minecraft for a long time and haven't payed attention to anything new regarding it.

I come in here after forgetting about it and click on the YouTube video for Still Alive played with redstone!


WHAT HAVE I MISSED!?

Heh, you haven't been away for THAT long, really.

Big thing was the recent update to 1.2 this week. There's note blocks now (the musical things from the video), as well as a bunch of wool dyes, colored sheep, some new tree types, squid, sandstone, and dispensers aka arrow traps.

Haha, I love Painterly Pack, but the Candycraft pack is hilarious. My gingerbread castle looks awesome. And my grand library has been turned into the worlds largest gumball machine collection. Not sure about the grass though. Is it caramel?

Hope Frendan is updated soon too. That was my favorite until I switched to Painterly.

The only problem I have with Painterly is that I use the large brick style cobblestone to look more like castle bricks, but they shift the texture by 4 pixels and it looks terrible! So I always have to edit it in PhotoShop before using. Also, even though Notch forgot to make a new painting, its ID is still in the game. It's a 4x4 painting next to the other two 4x4 ones. Just edit the painting PNG and add a new painting. It's not that hard.

Wow I want to get into it again.

However, I have tried yesterday and most of today trying to log in to the server for NeoNeoNeoGAFLand (or whatever it is called) and having the connection time out. I am in England so that may be a problem but I just want to have a look around.

It's a little slow at the moment, but also keep in mind that the address changed in the last day. Look for Spot's post on the previous page for the address.
