1.3, clearly.oh damn... they couldnt update the half blocks and stairs at the same time? lol
And while they're at it, some sandstone stairs and nether brick half-blocks would be nice.

I checked last night, and there didn't seem to be an update yet =/
I whispered happy little swears at my computer when I saw this picture.
EDIT: Aren't they going to make the top and bottom ("interior") textures of logs different colors too?
EDIIT: Oh, and are these textures- ...you know what, I should just read the update itself.

OH MY GOD THE CHAT FUNCTIONALITY EEEEEEEEEEE

I just want natural logs to grow bark on the bottom when exposed to air. They were able to do funny tricks with the mushroom blocks, why not that too?

Didn't see it mentioned in here yet but MC on 360 is out May 9th for 1600 MS Points. That's a bit pricey...

Update said:
Was that a bug introduced in the last update, or has it always existed? Shit, I've been on ledges working over lava the last 2 days, and I'm playing hardcore mode. Guess I must have been lucky.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Apparently it has always existed, and I'm sure I've been victim to it more than a few times. I always just chalked it up to my fingers slipping or lag or whatnot:

Kudos to MCLastUsername for documenting it so well and bringing it to the devs attention, Mojang had it fixed within a day of this video being posted.

This. Trees look pretty funky with the rings hanging out on the bottom of branches.
Nice, Ive just started watching one of these on youtube. Id love to give it a go.
Barberetti

Yeah nice catch MCLastUsername!
Now I think about it, I'm pretty sure I was a victim of that a couple of times last summer when I was building my ocean base. Like you, I probably just chalked it up to fingers slipping.
Or maybe too much beer.

This x1000. I'd love for my trees to look more tree-like. So branches look like branches rather than a bunch of logs in a row.

I almost kind of wish they'd introduced another biome with the height increase - like, "EXTREME Extreme Hills", including mountains that generate into (albeit probably not to the top of) the newly added space, probably turning into a snow biome once it breaks a certain altitude.
I mean, yeah, it's nice that you can create your own structures into the upper stratosphere, but, well, I dunno about you, but I'm pretty bad at emulating the random nature of the generated terrain, so any mountains I create would be... rather unconvincing.

What I would really like of an update would be to have more options about terrain generation when you create a world. Imagine you could chose the frequency of biomes, max height for terrain, % of mineshafts (I would put this down so much!!), etc.
Would be REALLY fucking awesome.
I'm beginning to wonder whether bukkit is even going to release a recommended build before 1.3, when it's integrated into minecraft...maybe we should consider using a dev/beta build on our server until then? I've been using it on my own server for like a week now without any problems...
I have a lot of patience, but even I'm starting to get a little anxious for this server to friggin update already. Anyone else?

The Beta builds (well, anyone after the very first release following a MC update) are typically very stable. There might be a small bug here and there, but nothing major.
Okay now Im on the PvP videos and they are fantastic!
The rules are:
*Health doesnt regenerate
*Only golden apples or regen potions work to restore health
*No strip mining
*Last player alive wins
Its currently 8 people versus eachother. Its awesome! So intense, Im loving it. All eight players have their own POV recorded so you can watch each of their perspectives and compare how they tackle the challenge. This is Extreme Survival SAS style.

We intended on launching ours today (well Friday because timezones could be different), but I must take the blame for a major error in one of the plugins I coded. All the major stuff is done including testing of almost 15 custom plugins, but I need to rewrite a big section of the most important one.
I should have it done late tomorrow, and we'll go live at some point Sunday after making sure it's functioning properly this time. Everyone from gaf will certainly be welcome on the server. I posted some details a few pages back, but along with fixing the plugin, I've got to throw together a whole writeup for the forums (aka, what I planned on doing today
).I'll post the info again when I've got the information on our forum. We are already running 1.2.3 and everything we have will work with 1.2.4 (waiting on at least a beta build before jumping to that), if you're itching for some 1.2 action.

anyone know why I can't use F11 to fullscreen? I've never been able to and when I try it simply shuts the program and saves an error log.

Also, DAMMIT everytime I see this thread gets bumped, I get my hopes up that Neocraft got updated lol

Great news! Just updated to 1.2.4. I'll keep my eye on this thread for further updates from you. Thanks

Heres one of the things I've been working on recently, some underground temple-ish place I guess. I had a few stacks of TNT so I thought I would put them to use. It was built starting at the top and working down.
Some starting shots...
A little bit later I started in with the look of it.
and the final-ish shots, it's not done but I am kinda sick of working on it for the time being.

Now that is awesome! I'm always good at building things that are really big, and cool looking on the large scale, but I can never use blocks in creative ways to make them look good on the small scale like that.

We have officially launched our server! I welcome all from GAF to take a look and join us for our unique approach to minecraft. Be aware that we are still using a 1.2.3 server. Sorry, we tried to wait until bukkit was at least able to release a stable 1.2.4 Beta build, but they have yet to do so. We will upgrade as soon as one is available as almost all our code is custom and ready for 1.2.4.
Check us out:

If you like it, tell your friends and I hope to see many of you from gaf. Also, let me know any suggestions you have.

How many of you have already jumped to 1.2.4? We're testing a build for our server, but before we put people even further behind the upgrade chain (if they're playing on other servers), I was wondering if most of you have or are waiting.

I'm still on 1.1 myself so I can play on NeoCraft, but I'm downloading a 1.2.3 jar so I can swap between the two servers.

Currently there is an extremely stable build of 1.2.3 of craftbukkit running that we are using. We can run a dev build of 1.2.4, but there may be some minor bugs that could pop up until they actually get at least a beta build for it available. Let me know what you guys think and we'll roll with it.

Well I've probably got about an hour or two played and I'm not exactly sure what my goal is? Just build stuff all the time? Kill the mobs? Is there a story at all?

All caught up with the Season 3 and I must admit the tension is pretty intense. If a PvP server offers tension like this I'm all over it.
P.S. I'm pulling for Guude or Baj myself.

so what version do you need to access the neocraft server now?

Still just 1.1. The server we've been talking about that runs 1.2.3 is totally unrelated to neocraft.

Put this together:
We're running 1.2.4 on the test server currently. Trying to find something completely game breaking, but it looks like we might go ahead and switch to 1.2.4 so those that have upgraded are able to play.

Well that's because there is no real goal.
They added the Ender Dragon as a possible 'End' surely for people that are so used to the common pattern of videogames having an actual ending, but it's first and foremost a Sandbox game, meaning that you have a set of things you can play with, and it's up to you to use them as you see fit and like they say, the only limit is your imagination.
That's what makes the game so great but it can also be quite confusing at first.

To me, Minecraft always has and always will be a game of creation.
Im rooting for Beef myself,
especially after his shitty start but Guude seems to be in a really good position
beef has good creeper micro, so he's a favourite.
beef seems to be furthest from trouble atm too, while also having the only nether tech. i hope Guude gets creepered for about 6 hearts to make this interesting

I like Guude and all, but he's so far ahead of everyone else that I can't see him losing at this point, and that's kind of disappointing.
I haven't watched Doc or Baz's perspectives at all yet, but I'm pulling for Kurt and Beef right now.

We are running 1.2.4 now. Anyone that has already upgraded to 1.2.4 and can't connect to neocraft is more than welcome to check out what we've put together. It's a change of pace from what you've probably been doing on neocraft, so I think they can coexist perfectly together. Hop over and give us a look www.yeticraft.net

Had about 12-15 people on most of the night tonight. The big key to make our server work is a good enough size group of people playing frequently and on different sides. We'll do our part to bring people in, but if you like it when you get on, let others you play with know.
