Yeah my houses still have chests full of shit like that. Maybe I should rip the signs off and see how long it takes before they are found lolMengy said:Hah, I even left many chests full of cobble and dirt and stuff back in my base. Maybe I should bring it to the back of the Ark awhile so people can take it too!
I had no idea people were so interested in free cobble and dirt.

I always amass huge amounts of cobble, dirt, and gravel in my mining expeditions for diamonds and iron and gold and redstone and lapis and coal. I literally have like over 5 double chests full of cobble from my diggings. And thats after I used all of that stone for my ship last week. I don't know, I suppose I just like digging underground, lol!

Yeah sorry this is why I rarely donate to community chests. Some no-name lurker will just be in there and poof. If somebody actually needs something and announces it in chat then I'm always happy to help when possible
Oh by the way I have a spare double chest in my cabin (middle deck, near the south end) that anyone can claim.
Also I made a map (on foot!!!!!) with the Manifest Destiny in the centre, so we have a record! Notch once said he was planning for maps to placeable on walls, let's hope that happens soon.

Anyone else having either an item duplication bug or display bug? Numerous things in the community chests on Manifest Destiny are showing 64 when there should be 1 (like cooked porkchops). I'm seeing the same problem in my own chests on the ship
Yep, there are locks for personal chestsbathala said:

Hear hear!
I was working heavily in a community mine on one of the GAF servers some months back. After a bazillion trips from the bottom of the mine to the top to get more supplies, I decided to spend a few hours grinding out iron tools and making signs (community mine was ridiculously complex and I was making signs to avoid getting lost). I filled like 2 double chests with tools, a double chest with stacks of torches and coal, and another double chest of signs.
I logged off for like 2 hours, came back, and everything was gone.
Last time I do anything like that other than dumping extra cobble/dirt. People are such pricks.

On a slightly lighter note I was down in the community chests (putting some cobble etc.) and they're actually full of all kinds of stuff, so not all doom and gloom! Also the community chests near the spawn still have quite a bit of stuff in, what will we do with that?
Yeah the problem is when so-called "massive demand" rapidly dwindles after a couple of weeks and then what are we left with?

I hope I can be the one to burn down the ark, that entire wood ship will burn so good.
I didn't have to much, so I just shoved everything I could find around my digging area nto one double chest. So stacks of coal, some iron and the diamonds are the bulk of what I care about, but I have junk like bones and trees in there too, since it all fit. Also dumped my armor and the stuff I was holding.

actually it appears like its just 1.12 per slot per month. so, imo, count how many people reserved some space on the ark, reduce it by 20% or so, and get that many more slots for the first month, then re-evaluate. (max out at 35, since after that you need a RAM upgrade as well)

Thanks to all who donated to the community chest, contrary to belief, there is quite a bit of stuff in there.

The Excelsior while not 100% complete is ready to be loaded. The lower deck even has some chests in it already thanks to AngryChinchilla. Also thanks for the wool.

I've yet to find a single unexplored dungeon on Neocraft.
By the sounds of it, they've all been stolen already.
onken said:
Thats because after the raid that took place on them there was a few of us that re-stocked them. Also I think the peeps saw us on here saying something. I have no problem with peeps taking a few things they will need, but earlier yesterday it was like 2 fat kids at an all you can eat doughnut buffet.

I still fail to understand why veteran Minecraft players continue to act surprised when new map generation is required upon updates to the worldgen code. People treat Minecraft as if its a finished, released product, and these patches are akin to WoW-style content patches. Yes, its true that Mojang adds new content to the game as much as they can with each patch, but ultimately the game is still in a state of active development, and you've preordered into an early beta test.

This is why I raised the question earlier: do we want to wipe the server for 1.8 or wait for 1.9? Or maybe wipe it for both? Make the 1.8 server just an explore and have fun server, then when 1.9 hits we transfer the Arks again to another New World? It's a valid question at this point.

Man, I had a crazy dream last night, and it was very... Minecraft-y.
I was exploring a cave and happened upon a rather large dungeon, but it was in a semi-circle-ish room, with half of it looking like it caved it. Toward the caved in side, I saw the loot half buried. I proceeded to uncover all sorts of new blocks and and was all excited... Then I turned around and a huge Zelda-like Poe with glowing red eyes was staring me down, hovering menacingly. His eyes got bright a launched a 3 row attack of flames on the floor, all the way across the room. Somehow, I knew the only way to kill it was with a bow and arrow, so I promptly shot it in the face... Then I woke up.
I drew a quick little rendition of it, lol.

Yeah, I really want us to reset the server to get all of the new stuff, but then I want us to keep this new server for a VERY long time. It's painful enough losing all we have created on Neocraft right now (there are some awesome things on Neocraft), but the patch changes are worth it IMHO. But once we settle, I'd like us to stay settled for the foreseeable future.
This is how I am leaning: I think we should make 1.8 Neocraft with the understanding that it will be a temporary world, then we all can just explore and play around and make crazy wild things but nothing seriously. But we keep the Arks and move them to another new world for 1.9 Neocraft. And then 1.9 Neocraft is the world we keep for a long, long time. That's my gut feeling right now.
I don't think we are surprised so much as annoyed, it's been ages since we have had a patch that requires no generation, and now it looks like 2 in quick succession will require it. It makes more sense for them to put all land generation updates in one patch then do stuff like the npc's in another. With such a large multiplayer base having these changes quickly is a big disruption.Mikor said:
And I don't buy into the whole 'beta' rubbish that gets thrown around, they have had a simple, but working game for a while now, yes they are doing big improvements but it's still a game we have paid for and invested in. Even when the magical 'release' happens there will still likely be updates requiring new map generation.

Well, the only reason we're making a new world is because of the new land generation (right?) in 1.8. I hardly think they'll change it enough by 1.9 that'll warrant another new map.

Well, let's just tear the empty ones down. If no NPCs spawn in them come 1.9, free mats for us!

ArtistDude88 said:
Jeb has already said there will be new biomes for 1.9 too. Maybe it's not enough for us to worry about, we can always just explore more chunks to get the new stuff.
Ah screw it, I've changed my mind. Lets start 1.8 Neocraft as soon as possible and just stick with it no matter what happens. We'll adapt and overcome whatever else changes!
New World HHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ill be there as soon as 1.8 hits. if that counts for anything =PXun said:

My friend, its not rubbish - what you paid for was a preorder, and you're being given the opportunity to play around with Minecraft in its current development state in exchange. It wasn't until very recently, in fact, that the forced "Minecraft Alpha/Beta ver XXX" was removed from the gameplay UI.

Yeah, if we make an effort to not go too crazy with the exploration, then it shouldn't matter too much when 1.9 hits - and if there are unsightly gaps between the 1.8 and 1.9 biomes, we call always do some terraforming.

We should just limit all the building to one continent until 1.9 hits. Then expand and create the rest of the new world.
