Thanks guys. I guess I'll just keep looking for Black Sheep in the meantime.Ranger X said:
Pretty much what happened with me. Although, I did make a nice doggie house for my pack. Too bad they all were killed by a CreeperArticalys said:I admit I haven't had much of a chance to play since 1.4 hit.
How true is this?
They somehow got out of the dog house, out of the fenced-in area & right next to me all within about 10 seconds. None of them survived the Creeper attack I'm not sure about never coming back, but they definitely seem to not be able to move upward, so they get stuck in holes underwater. While making my underwater tunnel I kept hearing a bunch of shuffling noises. I knew it must be squids, but when I finally went to where they were, dropped a Jack-o-Lantern and started killing them, there were a ton of squids there. I ended up with like 50+ ink sacs from just those kills.Ranger X said:
I was also playing around with an X-Ray texture pack once and saw a pack of squids in a small underground lake with no entrances.
So, I got something working. I found a small piece of land just below the surface, tunneled like I was mining for minerals. Once I got to the point where I heard that scratching/shuffling noises, I started digging outwards. I placed some glass on part of the opening & torches around the opening. With this way, it was easy to go up quickly & attack them & still have enough time to get back inside before I drowned. As of now, I have 15 Ink SacsBooJoh said:
The lag/blocks reappearing, along with giant missing parts of the landscape is really annoying.
I'm not a programmer, but surely minecraft shouldn't be a network-heavy game? Most of the time you'll be more than a chunk away from other players and it shouldn't be critical to sync blocks rapidly

But did you try digging at the spawn area on a server that works fine?
This you would get rid of the question as to know if there's some spawn area protection now. I really want to believe it's only a server issue but it doesn't explain why at my office, on a super server that is really freaking fast, I still got the reappearing block issue near the spawn.

For a smaller server for just me and 2 or 3 friends, all I need to do is download Minecraft_Server.exe from the website, open the necessary ports and config that text file properly and Im good to go? Then I can just give my friends the right address and they should be able to connect?
I've been playing earlier for a while. The server seems to work just fine, even though there's some slight lag. For now we can stay here until we find a better host. But we need to make soon something around the spawn (something like a train station!) with a sign telling people they can't dig/mine there.Kalnos said:
I will go back in a bit and continue gathering materials. I don't remember where the spawn is so it will take a while to find the spot to build the station, but oh well..
I have a house close to it, anyway.Also we should have some design rules. Like, all the stuff around the station should be made of wood, or we need to make paths with stairs and whatnot to all the areas, etc..
I'll try to find the spawn and put lights around there.

Nothing too exciting....pistons probably delayed, and a super secret piece of info that he cant share yet.

The map thing is interesting. But I don't know how they will represent a 3D map.
So just got this game with the intention of setting up a mutliplayer game with my girlfriend so we can explore on our own. How do I go about doing this? I run the server and try to connec to to 'localhost' on my machine but it wont connect. Im running Windows 7. Any help?
It just says 'Lost Connection End of Stream' in the Minecraft Window, and the Server window says '*lots of numbers* lost connection'

Apologies for not reading the posts following, but are you certain its just not spawn protection? Player's can't typically alter blocks within a 16 blocks from the spawn or so, and that needs to be changed server-side.Kalnos said:
If anyone's ever wondering about lag (and this goes for ALL games, not just MC) on a MP server, take a second to run tracert @ the command prompt in windows, and run it to the server address. You might have some nodes that are dumping packets, making it the fault of neither yourself nor the server, but in fact the fault of the ISP & the way it's mapped your connection to the server.
Guys, is there any servers that are going up that people are going to be using?
If not, i am willing to rent a server from Multiplay for 20 player slot.
Its £28 for monthly and equivalent of £21 for 12 months up front pay which equates to £252.
If you guys can donate some amount monthly via paypal i can host one asap.

All I did was download the Minecraft_server.exe and run it, wait for it to create a new world and spawn points, then in my own Minecraft I put the IP to join as "127.0.0.1". Other machines on my LAN could connect to the server using my internal IP address (192.168.0.whatever-yours-is).Neo Child said:
Is the Minecraft demo essentially the full game with a time restriction? My brother kinda wants to play but he wants to see how well his so-so HP desktop will run it first. I think he should be ok. These are the specs:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual-Core processor E5400 [2.7GHz, 2MB L2, 800MHz FSB]
3GB DDR2-800MHz SDRAM [2 DIMMs]
750GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
512MB ATI Radeon HD 4350 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]

It should be fine. And yes the demo is the full game with sort of a time restriction. You have 1 hour and a half per world. You can however create as many worlds as you'd want.

Their dev planning for Minecraft didn't change. What this the source of your claim? I think Mojang is expanding more than anything. Also, since the core of the game is done, they might not actually need as many progs as before to continue improving/adding stuff.

WOULD HAVE NOT WOULD OF
Because my Intel mini already handles encoding, torrenting, media viewing, media streaming and backing up of numerous things. I don't need to add a game server that would work better with nothing else running.Ark said:
If there was a PPC version I could run on my other mini, it'd be just a server for a world for playing around and testing.
Zomba13 said:
Awesome!
I'm thinking of purchasing a 10-player MC server via Multiplay with a 10-slot Vent (since it's 50% with multiplay), possibly towards the end of the week?
Mods included would be things like Bukkit, world edit, world guard, chest protection, ect. Mostly anti-griefing measures, because I hate being griefed..
What does everyone think? I mean personally, I just want to get building.
Jasoco said:
Fair enough. I think the server hosting for Mac & Linux is actually a Java thing, so it should work.

It can be, from what I've seen you have to check alooooooooooooot of coastline to find some. I'd just watch around as you go about your tasks until you have enough, like I did.
Try it? I don't think the server has high demands, especially if its only for a few friends. I run mine on a 2 GHz intel mini with 2Gb ram, and with three of us on it's using around 300MB and 10% CPU. That is also my PLEX/DVD ripping/sabnzbd machine. Installed bucket and world edit no problem (although it's now vanilla as my kids wanted 1.5 for the new mine carts)Jasoco said:
You should be able to run it on the intel machine easily though without it affecting things. Encoding might be a bit slower but not much, and how often do you do that anyway? As for torrents/newsgroups, well that'll be hammering your network so might impact performance no matter what machine is running the server (just throttle it a little to give MC some bandwidth)
Its java so shouldn't be limited to intel macs. However it may require eg java 1.6, which might not be available on the PPC platform

I sort of agree that it's a bit disheartening that they're moving one of the main programmers off of Minecraft, and that they openly admit it's going to have an affect on Minecraft's development and delay features in the immediate future.
On the other hand, I'm content knowing that Notch is still working on it, and the map feature sounds pretty cool.
