To join the Civil War server, you have to post in the MC forums thread to apply for gray listing. From then, you can be a nomad or join a faction. You can still check out some stuff before you are gray listed, but you won't be able to destroy/place blocks, etc. That actually works out a bit because it gives some time to check the wiki/forums and ask questions which can be answered by "veteran" players.Ether_Snake said:

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
Anyone else having problems connecting to Ark's server? I was online and it starting lagging while I was attacking mobs in a cave. They just stood there looking at me. So I disconnected and re-logged, and only part of the world loaded. Now I get connection errors.

Same here. Seeing the high-res textures everywhere is quite worthwhile. I like Balea's water and the way some of the ores look, and Photo Realistic is pretty grand when looking out at an impressive vista (I think I have a screenshot of a huge lake with that pack on somewhere, looking shiny). But minecraft4kids/wind waker is definitely my main one. It really suits the Minecraft world. Plus they made very, very wise UI contrast decisions which the majority of texture pack makers seem to not consider at all (glass is CLEAR WITH BLACK LINES, if you make a dark background with black lines you won't be able to find it in your chests!).
The default graphics make my eyes bleed. :-/ I appreciate the simplicity and it is awesome how modular the "everything's a block" look becomes. But the textures themselves (especially resolution-wise) just kind of blow.
Besides, I think the wind waker pack totally captures and amplifies the "retro" look that Minecraft does best. I will concede that the realistic packs look a bit weird considering the structure of the world, but that one pack really works!

You are in fact 0 percent on that! They grow like crazy, especially with all the natural light during the day. I can take a screenshot of how silly it looks when I forget to maintain it for a while, the room basically becomes a solid leaf block deposit.

Hey, I'd be happy to make a terrain.png file if you'd like. I could just edit it into this post if you're interested. Just let me know which texture pack you'd like better glass for. For my default pack, I typically just make it clear glass with a very light blue/white single pixel border but I could use another pack's glass if you'd prefer.
I must be the only one who thinks those 128x128 or even 64x64 photorealistic packs look really terribly out of place. Minecraft is blocky! It's supposed to be retro! GeruDoku packs or bust!
But yeah the default 16x16 textures are an abomination, I wish Notch would realize that and give it an overhaul.

Yeah I get tired of them sometimes. I like the doku packs and a couple other lower res ones I go to. I don't mind the photorealistic packs when I'm in the mood, but I prefer the artsy/video game nostalgia stuff. One of the packs I use makes me feel like I'm playing Link to the Past on SNES.
I did all of that. I even managed to make a "Texture Pack" for it, with the only difference being the glass.Grinchy said:
I used the Painterly Pack "no frame" glass. I always liked it.
If anybody wants it, you can just drop this .zip file into the texturepacks folder.
Edit: I know that tree won't grow in there..
And that's it. I'm already bored of my world. My monster trap didn't quite work (sure, it's a monster trap meant for multiplayer, but still), my rairoad works, but it's not that fast, I used most of the materials collected on the mine to build such railroad, which is from my house to the mine which I pretty much mined entirely (I only got enough gold to make a compass, a clock and 6 minecart boosters) and I don't have any ideas of what else to do in it.
This always happens.

Strange, i found a huuuuuuuugeeee cave not far from my house. I'm playing in this world for months now and never seen it before... oh of course i jumped into lava and all my stuff burned and is forever lost...
Then i tried to find the cave again. When i thought that I've found the entrance i realized that it was another friggin huuuuge cave.
Also went into a cave that I've found before and found lot's of coal and other things...
Does the game create new stuff after a while or what is going on?

I created a world using the word caribbean for seed. It is full of mountainous sand and a lot of water BTW why isn't my char.png being used? Heck I don't even know where it is saving my save files anymore.

No, the chunk is generated once and never change after that. It's just that you didn't notice those caves before.

I need cobblestone, and minerals, so I started a mine from my volcano house to the... west (i think, Z going negative). From time to time i enter in another people mine, but then I go down to Y = 8, and go up again to 11 when i found a lava lake. I plan to do a tunnel of some thousands blocks, and then go up again and create another house in there.
I just found out one of the cause of invisible mobs: Teleporting. (well, maybe you guys knew but I didn't see posts about it)
There was alot of mobs at all my doors in Booty Bay. I teleported back to spawn in order to fill my buckets with water and then teleported back home. The mobs were visually gone but were still there. They make no sound until they attack you. I almost got killed there because there was a creeper that exploded and zombies at my other doors were also waiting. I even killed one of them with arrows! So yeah, teleporting causes invisible mobs...

hahaha I guarantee you've hit my mine. I dug down to 13.6 right behind my house (which is right in front of yours). BTW if you want extra cobble I have a TON of it. I was going to make a trip with a full inventory of it to the community chests anyway.DangerousDave said:
*edit: and yeah, I've noticed that teleporting causes invis mobs for me. I'm not sure if that's the only culprit, but I take a lot of damage when I warp to bootybay or to the regular spawn.

i hope it's the permanent server. i know this is what i get for not checking in for over a month or so, i just liked some of the stuff i built in GAFland (and others had much more impressive feats). again, dont mean to be bitching cause the time i spent on the civil war server looked even more awesome, but i do hope server-changing isn't super often.

They also have the map files of the world for download there as well, in a alz zip file that needs to be saved in the mine craft save folder.
