Anyone else crashing a bunch more in the newest version? I haven't played for about 3 weeks, and I'm crashing all the time, seemingly around sunrise/sunset usually. I'm on a Mac, never had any consistent crashing issues until now.

Well if we can get the average players online, i'd be more than willing to foot a bill for a quarter or a month worth of hosting service.

I cannot afford an annual one, but the others i'd have no problem until donations can keep the servers running.

I've been playing this on Peaceful. How much am I missing out on? I was just tired of being destroyed by monsters every time I respawned at night. Also, I just found a cave which seems to span almost the entirety of my discovered map!

Depends how you want to play. Some people like exploring/mining/building in peace. If that's what you enjoy, go for it.

All I've noticed is stuff you get from enemies.

Gunpowder (for TNT)
Bones (for white dye/light colored wool and instant trees)
String (for bows)
Etc...

notch really needs to add the ability to disable creepers only on multiplayer. I don't mind the monsters but fighting creepers in lag while trying to preserve community buildings is impossible.

Alright I got hte server up and running.
This is hopefully going to be the new Gafland server. We are experiencing no lag with mobs enabled atm :)

Should we continue the old map, or should we restart the map now that monsters are enabled, and build a world better suited to that?

Well, as much as I'm already attached to the new world, it really isn't a "survival" world in the truest sense.

Sitting on your server now, with the monsters out in force, I begrudgingly think that I'd almost like to start over again... still, I say we put it to a vote.

Not enough if you really want to do some real work. And why can't you find bones yet? (Or can you? I haven't found any in any newly generated dungeons I've found.)

Bone really needs to be findable without enemies. It's one of the items you need to have even if you're on Peaceful. I can't make anything with light colored wool.

I'm uploading a backup from earlier today, I'll link it tomorrow (~200mb).

What's set up for server admin? McMyAdmin? I honestly have no preference if we switch to better hosting (why not?) and if we keep the old map or not. the backup is always there if we want to keep it, we could do a week or two on a new one and see what everything thinks with mobs being enabled...

Wow, tried the new server and the starting area is amazing! All desolate desert wasteland, nothing but sand and lava. So cool!

Just tried the new server. I haven't done anything yet besides hide in Artistdude88's place. I think I'll follow his lead and build something similar to what he has, and have something on a pillar that looks like it came out of The Jetsons.

new server info in post 12025

The server is running great! No lag issues at all so far on my end.

Server is running great from Europe here, hardly any chunk errors and I can run around them.

I've also started a system of safety cottages spread across the land. If you see a small wooden house with trees on top placed in a handy location it's for hiding from mobs. There's a workbench and oven in all of them and you can refer to them through unique serial numbers next to the door. Currently building number four north of spawn.

I apparently have a pet creeper on your server.

This might actually deserve its own thread in the gaming section but...

Halo Recreated in Minecraft.
Click to expand...
Sure this is supposed to be Halo?

Actually reminded me more of Half-Life, what with the MedPacks, gun model and the gun sounds.


Probably better to just call this a general Minecraft FPS. :)



edit: or is that a map from Halo? Then it'd make more sense.

You can build a new, safer tree. Full of mob traps.

And my computer is sucking at connection to the new map.

The map is Lookout from Halo 2.

Although the recreation is inaccurate, as Lookout had a ghost in it.

Its lockout not lookout, and there was no ghost.

It seems every so often inventories get reset a few minutes back. After a reset it seemed to have calmed the problem down, but still not sure why its happening. Will fix asap, but in the meantime if it does end up happening again and you lose something just PM me or talk to me ingame and i'll be more then happy to fix your stuff.

EDIT- Apparently its a hardware issue, and they're working to fix it now. Should be golden soon.

Oh there was totally a ghost. But he was made out of apostrophes so maybe you missed it.

(Check it out I can make corrections too!)

The new server is great! Almost no lag at all, enemies, and space near the spawn point to build!

Anyway, I think it would be cool to make a grand entrance to Gafland 2 where the spawn point is. We could make a tunnel that you have to walk through after spawning that has signs and what not. Otherwise we could just built some community building around the spawn point so that you don't have to worry about mobs if you join the world or die at night.

First impressions of the new GAF server are great. It does indeed seem about as lagless as playing on a server running on your own PC.

Haha it was good.

That was probably the longest session I've been on for.

Had fun.

Good new server with no lag (the old one will be missed). Thanks for providing it as a download though!

Here's the new server.

The download is for you to play alone (put it in your minecraft folder and name it world1 or something.
