Yeah erm thanks to everyone that has wished me happy birthday it is great and erm well ok this is embarrassing but erm it aint my birthday. I know it was Xeno_flux that started this scurrilous rumour (dunno why he thought it was my birthday) and I will kick him a few times when I see him on Minecraft ;-).
But anyway I will save all these messages of goodwill and will cherish them when it is my birthday in April

Hehe sorry guys it was more of a "happy birthday - because this is a present for you" then an actual happy birthday. Didn't mean to make a hilarious confusion on the thread.
But hey more attention on charlie!

oh... you will deceive Dry!
Map makers will be all over this, also mob naming seems also to be for them.
But i'm sure the guys from JL2579's server will end up finding a use for it in a way ... xD
So after seeing BdoubleO talking about lynchyinc and his builds and realising that they were actually quite easy to do, I thought I would try my hand at something similar in creative, and here is what i came up with :
Few mistakes here and there while building, but the whole came around quite nice I think
I may use that kind of design for a nether build on the server (with other materials of course
( 32x32 Faithful texture pack + SeuShaders )

Is there any reason to start playing Minecraft again? Any new supercool additions? I loved it but I quit a while ago. I enjoyed Terraria a lot more actually, but I'm itching for some Minecraft again.
Do you know what patch you left out at? I haven't played in some time but recently came back to play with my wife...man it's a blast feels a lot more "gamey" than before with tons more of customization with enchanting.

Love them progress posts
In order to lure more people (back) to Neocraft here's some map snaps of the current Running community projects and ofc a teaser of the new up and coming one.
The Lush oasis city of Al Denima!
The Lovely Christmas village, that warms the heart while your toes freeze off
The modern (or ancient?) wonder of Neolantis!
The eastern Zen village of Gaf-Kong! (come get them noodles)
And the teaser for Domepolis (I know this is what everyone wanted to see)
So, come (back) to Neocraft and join in the fun loves!!!

Enough to do on Neocraft ^^

Kentsui, that looks amazing.
Liz, I'm going to finally build something in GAF Kong. Just need to gather some more materials today and tomorrow.
The game has gotten some large updates in the past few months. What was the last update you played? We're up to 1.4.6, and in the past few months, we've seen additions of trading with villagers, emeralds, anvils, enchanted books, a change to how XP works, witches, bats, slimes spawning in swamps at night, jungle and desert temples, ender chests, silk touch shears for grabbing cobwebs and tumbleweeds, item frames, wither skeletons and the Wither boss, collectible mob heads (including player heads!), pumpkin pie, beacons, dyeable leather armor, carrots on a stick to control saddled pigs, changes to how breeding works, night vision and invisibility potions, cobblestone walls, lockable repeaters, flower pots, and fireworks.
Also, there's been massive progress in the mod community, with the new Feed the Beast mod pack out. It's overwhelming at first but I also believe it's customizable.
The next major update (1.5) adds in nether quartz and quartz blocks, craftable nether brick blocks and other items, hoppers, TNT minecarts, daylight sensors, major changes to how redstone works, and whatever else Dinnerbone and Jeb want to include.

Been doing this since v1.25.12w17a (April 2012) because of SSP lag in later versions.
I'll keep on doing that until the problem is fixed
You'll be doing that until the end of time my friend. Update to 1.4.6, install the optifine mod, hop on to Neocraft and have fun.
Edit:
We'll look in to ways to trimming the nether so we don't have to explore insanely far for the new quartz.
This is indeed an aspect of the game that hasn't really been touched already. But at the same time, they add so much stuff that can be seen as more important since they add gameplay potential that I can't complain much.
Still, I would be excited if they'd announced "the ambiance update".

They haven't done all that much with mobs. As for the biomes, there is an option when creating a world for large biomes. I haven't tried it out personally but I hear it's as advertised.

Then, so be it.
I guess, just seems weird to have different kinds of biomes but the same animals in all of them

There is a program called Magic Launcher which allows you to run both 1.2.5 and other versions of Minecraft.
This way you can keep all the "stability" of 1.2.5 and check out what's new in the latest versions.

I don't know which patch I left at, but those are certainly things I've never heard of. Great! Saddled pigs? Nice.
I'll check it out tomorrow! Thanks for the info guys.
You can make Quartz Blocks, which are basically marble stand-ins.

And day/night sensors.

Yeah, you can make so many blocks with the Quartz. Normal marble ones, columns, decorative, stairs and halfslabs. Plus texture packs will probably do some really awesome stuff with it too.
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Block_of_Quartz
I'm also looking forward to the new texture pack format that puts each block texture in its own folder and lets texture packs default back to the regular stock texture if an item or block texture is missing. About time. No more broken texture packs with purple placeholders because they haven't been updated yet.
Hopefully since you can make the two decorative Quartz blocks with a table, they have implemented the same method to make the two alternate textures for stone bricks and sandstone.

I use another Windows user account for running the latest version of Minecraft (and to check if the lag is gone or not). Works like a charm.There is a program called Magic Launcher which allows you to run both 1.2.5 and other versions of Minecraft.

Fuck yes.
I finally get the marble I so rightly deserved.
I was holding off from building my castle because I was waiting for something like this.
Messing around with the latest snapshot is awesome, all the new redstone stuff is really interesting. I'm road-testing an item sorter in creative with a mob spawner, but I'm also working on a minecart system that automatically loads and unloads itself, and going to field-test it with some general materials you would mine (ie iron, cobble, etc) into a sorter at the end of a track, so you could have a mine separate to your main base, and send resources back by throwing them at a hopper and pushing a button to send the minecart off.
Bit of a long shot, but if I can get it working in a circular manner (minecart sent, sends another back to you) it might be interesting for people doing large quarry projects. Might also be useless by the time you got the resources for it as well. Worth a shot.

I've only procrastinated on this stuff for ... what, months now? Especially that tower I started off building.

Controllable saddled pigs, whoa. Best feature ever. I remember evil uncontrollable pigs from back in the early Minecraft days.
Is there a summary or list somewhere of the redstone changes with the latest snapshot? I heard about the daylight sensor but I would be interested in what else is there.

With the recent buzz about Nether Quartz a bunch of us (AKA: Me) were talking about the possibility of trimming the nether to make Quartz finding easier. While we likely won't bother with the trimming, thanks to my shenanigans in this brainstorming process I've come up with a few renders of the Nether. Each of these has the ceiling chopped of at different height levels.
Enjoy.

Excuse me for putting words in SD's mouth, but I think he's referring to the fact that there's a small lag delay that's just bordering on the edges of perceptibility whenever you place or remove a block. I took a trip back using FTB's 1.2.5 retro pack, and the game... felt a bit different. It's a bit hard to describe, but 1.2.5 feels a bit more responsive, and the occasional client/server mismatch is nonexistent. Optifine isn't going to help with that, it's just for graphics smoothness.
Remember, SD, make several backup copies of 1.2.5, all it takes is one misclick. :3
lol nice, I didn't know there was a Super Mario Kart Bowser circuit!

Not been on this in an age (Charlie had only just joined when I stopped playing if I'm remembering right). Server has changed a lot since I was last on. Looks like my plot got griefed to shit though lol. Changed my Helipad for a Failpad?
Was planning on doing a Spencer Mansion-esque build before I left but my fps is so shoddy on this laptop with the latest updates, it's painful to log on :/
