Another shot from Lavaland, in which all the water is lava, and (in The Nether) all the lava is water.
The sizzling during rain and snow is amazing.
EDIT
One more during rain. SIZZLE
Okay one more
I wish there was an optional mode that spawned worlds with acidic oceans, there's certainly a sense of achievement in getting to far lands when swimming is not an option.

Strangely no, it runs perfectly. There is literally no performance degradation, even during chain reactions (like ocean chunks spawning next to lava chunks creating walls of obsidian, or ice melting on the lava).
EDIT
For example, this constantly-changing chain reaction (in which lava-water melts the ice above, which creates a layer of water) works full speed no prob:

The start of a castle city
and an underground hall/temple thing.

Rabbit Lord: I haven't been on the NeoCraft server in quite a while. What you have done there is inspiring my creative side and making me pissed that for the first time in a while that I want to get on and build something really cool I have midterms. The pillars against the walls are looking really cool!

Yeap popped outside the nether and couldn't find the portal. So I went for a walk thinking that I would surely come across some familiar object, alas I was wrong. I had no idea someone could walk that far in the nether in such a short space.
Was frustrated until I remembered tectonicous. I had a look and couldn't find myself then I zoomed out and said "Oh my. I hope no one notices"

You can always /warp pioneer to get back to the pioneer village.

BAH! That takes all the fun out of getting lost and finding your way back home, which is half of the fun of Minecraft!
I need to make a custom skin for myself with the word WARP on my chest and a red circle with a hash through it over it, lol.
Yeah I totally had fun getting lost but it was unintentional this time. The thing is though, I'll only ever be comfortable with true exploration in either single player or when I'm paying the bills and know that file sizes are not an issue. In this case I'm not paying the bills and therefore I'll try to leave as small a footprint as possible while still having fun.

I know. This is the only thing I don't like about Neocraft. I mean I love playing on the server, it's a great experience, but man that one thing is so huge for me. That freedom of exploration is really the only reason why I play single player at all anymore. And after 1.8 and 1.9, with the adventure additions to the game, it makes the exploration "limits" on the server even more depressing.
Multiplayer versus total freedom of exploration. It's one hell of a coin toss for me...

Just how rare are abandoned mineshafts?
It's odd, I've created a few new worlds since 1.8Pre came out, the first three worlds I created I discovered abandoned mineshafts right away after digging for a few minutes. In my most current world I created (in 1.9Pre1) I have been playing for a few nights and have navigated a significant portion of the underground and have yet to come across one.
That being said - ravines! I have the most awesome ravine near my base in my current SSP world and after exploring a bit I've ran across two or three more huge ones underground. I absolutely love these things, spelunking and then running into a huge deep gaping underground canyon is awesome, similarly just the deep ass holes you run across sometimes. It's fun to traverse down them and then, trying to light it so mobs don't spawn and jump on your head from above. It's kind of amazing to me how much more interesting mining and spelunking is in Minecraft now than it was in just 1.7x.

Ark said:I'm gunna say this now: Try to keep within the current 'confines' for 1.8, and when it comes to 1.9, exploration will be more 'acceptable' (read: less bitching from me)
Just to clarify so that everyone knows and it is in writing, what exactly is the confines of Neocraft 1.8? Should we simply stay on the current dropbox map that's been explored already, or stay within a set range of Pioneer Town? Just wondering how far from Pioneer Town is safe from the Cleansing God Hand of patch 1.9...

Get Cartograph G.
Made a regular map of your level, but only of block "Wooden plankt".
???
Profit
I didn't explore anything yet in my world, so my map is quite small, and I have 2 mineshafts very close to my spawn point.

I can't complain, I love it. By the way, Ranger X, the Epic Cave world that you shared some months ago is not generated in 1.9, but I found another one with A LOT of caves, and is now my default world. The seed is 1589547815
I'm currently exploring a ridiculously huge mineshaft/cave + a ravine in the middle in my SP world (well, my same old world, just that I travelled a bit to create new chunks).
Caves are more interesting than ever and seems to be even bigger and more complicated. I also love that there's loot everywhere and that I don't need to cut wood anymore since there's so many wooden planks down there

If anyone is wanting a good island map use the seed:
beat box
It will create a island that spawns a single tree and has no visable larger land masses (actually I still haven't found anything above ground other than the island.) Under the island you will find mines that will assist you with food and wood (from chests and support beams.) It is actually pretty impressive of how isolated you feel with this map.
here is a over map of it after I played around on the main island

I just bought this yesterday and I'm pretty sure it's the best game I ever played. The fact that they tell you nothing at all about how to play it is great in a way. Starting out I was frustrated but looked up a beginners guide, from there I just think of an item I might need and look up the formula and implement it. It's so satisfying.
That said, when the game gets out of beta some subtle clues as how to build some really essential things should be provided.

I am. But then, that's because I'm at work and can't play right now because:
1. I'm too busy to play Minecraft at work and get away with it, and
2. Our network blocks stuff like that
When I get home though I'll be on the server, if I have problems connecting I'll post it.
