EDIT: Oooh look what my friend came across.
INCONCEIVABLE!
Suddenly started getting this error when I try to start up the game on my laptop -
Anybody have any tips on how to fix this? I don't get the same error on my desktop.
::edit::
Nevermind; as usual, after searching the internet and not finding anything useful, I post the problem on GAF and end up solving it a minute later.
I found something saying that texture packs can sometimes cause the error, so I just deleted everything in the Minecraft folder and restarted it, and it works fine now.
Code:
Minecraft has crashed!

I keep getting an error, so far only in smp, where parts of the world...disappear. But only for me. Other people can walk through the areas fine, but if I try I fall...
For example, this is what the gaf community tower looked like when I walked back to it after having explored some castles.
Just a bug, or something I can fix?

Yeah, I kind of feel this way too. Our big gripe with them on my server is creepers -- I don't mind fighting monsters in general, but we don't want to always be repairing creeper-holes in our stuff. They tend to sometimes spawn in moderately-lit places, and the wonky hit detection makes them explode more easily than in single player. I found a couple mods that will disable the terrain damage from their explosions, but one doesn't work at the moment and the other one was causing a lot of strange bugs.Enco said:
Wish #59284 for Minecraft: Bigger variance in difficulty between gameplay 'types'. When I'm exploring, I want more challenge and variety in monster encounters. But when I'm working on a structure, I'd like a way to make it impossible for monsters to spawn. Either through some sort of "monster-repeller" made out of rare materials that creates a large no-spawn area, or by building some kind of border for the area using a special material. Make it as expensive as it needs to be for balance purposes.
I guess we may have to resort to spamming torches in every nook and cranny of our castle, but I wish there was a better solution.
Bug, I think. We've been getting those on my server a lot lately.WedgeX said:
You can usually get rid of them by logging off and back on, or sometimes by adding/removing torches around their edges. But I don't know if there's a better solution than that.

I've been wanting a sizeable mountain that I could try to recreate the Eyrie (from Song of Ice and Fire) on. Darn your friend!
Does it ever bother anyone when they see modern looking stuff in this game? I always imagine its in a Zeldaish like world with castles and villages. When I see modern buildings or skins I totally get detached 
. Something about the online communities that just drives me nuts.
Even though I know its me being crazy.
Also I made me a poodude skin

Can anyone give me the address to the GAF server? I would love to see what some of you have done.

I'm kind of the same way... On my private server we've been pretty serious about sticking with a medieval theme. I've seen some pretty cool modern buildings people have made, but they always look a little strange with wooden torches and stone furnaces in them. Maybe eventually they'll make a "Modern Minecraft" update or expansion, but for now everything seems to work better in the medieval style.Atomski said:Does it ever bother anyone when they see modern looking stuff in this game?

I'm kind of a hypocrite though, since my main skin is a robot.

Which map mod is that?

I'm running it right now, but I haven't done too much with it yet. I haven't used Hey0 so I can't really compare. Bukkit is a pretty seamless install and adding plugins is really easy. They seem to be developing it pretty rapidly right now, which is an encouraging sign but it seems like it's breaking plugin compatibility a lot. And there doesn't seem to be a good way to tell which plugins are compatible with which versions of CraftBukkit.Exano said:
Also, something is causing my server to have a lot more chunk errors this past week, but I haven't figured out if it's Bukkit, a plugin, or a problem with core Minecraft.
Just a chunk error, everyone gets them. Log out and back in and all should be well.WedgeX said:I keep getting an error, so far only in smp, where parts of the world...disappear. But only for me. Other people can walk through the areas fine, but if I try I fall...

There should be a quote to view server address post a few pages back.bathala said:

Thanks for making me spit mah water... LOL .
Edit: You guys gave me a good reason to build crazy stuff on my SSP world... Posting the resulting pics in this thread hehe.
This is my tower of doom, build upon the highest hill in the land, complete with ominous lava waterfalls. It's not uncommon to walk out in the morning to find piles of porkchops in front of the pools where it collects at the bottom. Mwhhhhahahaha. My tower also has a glass ceiling with a Tree of Gondor growing in the middle of it. You can see that little waterfall jutting out over the edge, I've been really getting in to controlling the flow of water and trying to get it to stretch as far as possible by building little pools and canals. The waterfall eventually flows out to the sea a little ways away:
Twice already I've accidentally pasted over my water spring with a cobblestone, which means it disappears forever. Fucking RAGGGGGGGEE they shouldn't let you do that.

I would love to play on Gafland more often, but it's way too laggy. Is that just a problem with the host?
Or Sandstone, which with the right texture can look really good as brick.SumPog said:
Also, did you use fire or lava? I find if you use fire, it only needs to have 1 tile between it and wood. Lava however needs a lot more space. I use fire and Netherrack as fireplaces and have built about 8 houses with the same style design. Wood floors, sandstone walls, wooden roofs and halfstep/cobblestone chimney's.
I thought I'd share some of my creations, this was all built on the now reset QGL Server, using Hmod with item spawning enabled. The new server is survival multiplayer and has no item spawning. Image heavy...
I did the building with the arrow shapes pointing up, not the WTC behind
Wettstein Castle
Wet Sphere with a giant tree inside and a hedge maze underneath
Finally some CBD views, I did the sphere, the "WET" building on the right and most of the surrounding roads and gardens, and the triangular tower on the left, and some of Krome studios behind the sphere to the left (the small red brick building with the bomb floating above it)

So I just had my coolest minecraft experience to date last night.
On my friend's multiplayer server, whenever we got bored of our world, we'd scrap it and make a new one. Well last night he used a mod or something that allowed compasses to point to specified places on the map, so, he sent us on a lengthy scavenger hunt.
At the final stop, we were told to drive boats straight across the ocean...
whereupon we reach, our First World. On fire and in ruins.
Our friend told us that there was ungodly amounts of loot at the top of the burning tower. The only catch was, he had placed monster spawners, turning the tower into a 12 floor dungeon,
But in the end, most of us had managed to barley get to the top alive, we put out the fire, claimed our loot, and reclaimed our old world from the monsters.
That was one of the most fun and badass things I've done in any video game, ever.

That dungeon story makes me hope that Minecraft eventually has a third major mode. I'm not sure what to call it... game-maker mode, maybe?
Mode 1 is the oldschool creative mode. Unlimited blocks, no goals. Lego mode.
Mode 2 survival SP / survival MP.
Mode 3 would be a new creative mode, allowing people to create levels and scenarios that could be played in survival mode. It would be like creative mode, but with various gamer-maker tools, like hidden triggers (ie when a player passes this spot, monsters spawn or some other event is triggered). It could also have hard rules, like no destroying stone blocks or something, to ensure stages are completed the proper way. It could maybe also have tools for simple NPCs or dialogue interactions.
People could use Minecraft as a sort of RPG maker.

And then Mode 4:
Explorer Mode: Survival mode, but your world gets created out of chunks that are created in Mode 3.
