Is Optifinr actually out for 1.7 now?

Your current beacon doesn't have any powers - just decorative? I only know because I fell from the top to the bottom (bedrock) while having a look. Thats quite a long way down. Still I now know even feather falling IV has its limits
I have haste 2 on the one at the bottom for lower level spelunking, and speed 1 for the one I currently have topside.

I'm remarkably hesitant to play Minecraft now that I'm running my OS on a small SSD with a large data drive to go with it... reason being, Minecraft writes and reads all its saves from %APPDATA%, and %APPDATA% always refers to the OS drive. Minecraft saves take up a fair bit of space, which, while I have ~100GB to play with overall (about 60 of which are free right now), is still something of a premium. I'm assuming Minecraft does a lot of constant reads and writes to those saves, too, which is something I'm not sure I wanna do on my SSD, where reads and writes are limited (I mean, the limit's presumably very high, but it's not a risk I really wanna take).
I mean, I kinda get why it saves where it does (because Minecraft was an in-browser game, first and foremost, when it first came out), I just wish I could change that.

You can save world files wherever you want via the profile editor in the launcher, though saves really don't take up that much space, my folder is a whole 300mb.
Read/write limits haven't been an issue since the very early days of SSDs, it's not something to worry about now...

I would be sceptical that Minecraft would have any appreciable effect on the lifespan of your SSD (I too have an SSD and I use it in the same way you do). Sure the number of read/writes an SSD can do are "limited" but the number is extremely high and general day to day usage of your OS will have a greater impact on the SSD's lifespan than Minecraft ever will.
Now having said that you could still play Minecraft without the saving and writing. All you need to do is hop onto a multiplayer server. This way all world saving and reading will be from the server. You could try Neogaf's server we are a friendly bunch but if you just want to play "on your own" no one will disturb you or interact with you if you don't want them too. You just have to put up with the odd penis and pineapple joke now and again.
I think I might be taking a break from MC for a bit. Feel burned out.
Gafland-Sur-Mer is half complete, but I'd hate for it to remain a ruin, so if anybody wants to join in, please feel welcome. I have no precious plans, but here's what I had in mind:
The style is mediterranean europe, a mix of old and new.
PS: Whoever finished of the station interior and roof, nice one

I've been on NeoCraft before :V
And really, I'd probably be only playing multiplayer anyway, so if it doesn't write much to the HDD, I guess I'm safe.

And if anyone wants to create something on that little island with the tree, feel free. I started to build there in the days after the server launched but all I ended up doing was creating a giant cavern room underground. So, do whatever you want with it.
If you look at the map, that giant tail to the south is where I am. Right at the bottom. Coords are.... X-39 Z11783.
Here.
Remember guys that you can now get on top of the nether now without cheating, so you could set up a rail system up there instead of going through the nether risking falling in a giant lava lake.
how? I thought it is all topped with bedrock? There was one hole but I assumed it was an anomaly?
talking of the nether, I found a spot pretty close to the spawn portal which is good for cheesing withers (up by the top bedrock) - I need to tidy the entrance up but could be handy for those wanting beacons.
Aw yes I noticed that on the overviewer map yesterday
I've got a northbound line with a single station at the northern edge of spawn. If you want I can start tunneling towards your unfinished line if you give me the coords, since I was planning on heading further with it eventually (but I got distracted by turfing the desert and building my own house out east.)
Probably going to at least put a single stop by Mengy's(?) desert palace up there so when I have the time to help I can.

I'm just going to respond to this now while I get caught up on the thread, but the reason why I stopped playing was because of some graphical bugs, and because of the sheer bulk of everything.
I know you spent eons making all the mods work together, but you might get more milage just sticking with a stock DireWolf20 pack or something.
Or maybe it's because I can't stick with any single set of mods. Oy.

It felt so good to finally be back on GAFLand.
My fortress is going to take motnhs to get it just the way I want it, but I dont care.
Im having fun and that's what matters
Nice to see all you people there too

You can get the coords by hovering the mouse on the Overviewer. The southernmost point of the track is at:
X -122
Z -560
Which is well within visible distance of the station north of spawn
Not on my rig it's not
Ok I should have enough rails to work that far and get one line connected and set up this week
You only really need to lay one line. Simultaneous travel in both directions will be so unlikely.
Stations with up and down platforms are nice though. Just split the track before the station and then rejoin it. You can implement that with T junctions.
Sorry, I know nothing about rails. Is there a guide to constructing what you're talking bout?

This is the simple way that matches with the station mechanism we've been using so far:
Right-bound carts stop on the top, left-bound on the borttom, as you see it here.
I'm sure you could do a version with a switchable forward/reverse lever but that's really not important.

Ah, K.
Klaw: finished the line to you, albeit with some very ungainly stair-stepping at the end

The chunks have to be loaded in order for them to update. By default, a server will keep a 10 chunk radius loaded around every player. So unless someone is in your area, it will pause when the chunk is saved and unloaded from memory until someone enters the area and loads the chunk again.cheers
I'm guessing smelting only continues if you're close to the furnace? Smelting a ton of sand in a single automated furnace so I'm guessing it'll take ages.
10 chunks is 160 blocks. So it's a 320x320 block square around each player.
ok. I'm working pretty close to where I'm smelting, but I think more than 160 blocks. How about spawn (my house and furnaces are in the spawn area)

As long as spawn is busy enough it'll usually be loaded in memory.
Spawn chunks are always loaded into server memory. As long as a player is logged on somehwere in the world, these chunks are always updated - food grows, water flows and redstone calculates.
If I've worked it out properly, the boundary of this area is as far West as the front wall of Whiskey's house, as far South as the Southern edge of the iron farm, as far East as the start of the tracks in the station, and as far North as about 1/2 way between Wooley's shop and the arboretum crossroads.
Someone already did, but it's not very well marked! Go to the "Exit" stairs and look on the left.
TBH, those stairs can probably be removed and replaced with a good looking enchantment room. They head into the underside of a lava pond, so aren't really any use.

cool, my house is in there so as long as someone else is online I can leave my slow auto smelter to do its thing
Madness. Madness I tell you.Some pics from the site. 40 layers still left to clear until Phase I of the project is done.

How are you getting these overheads? Do you have to download the map somehow?
Also, who knows where the eastbound rails are going? We've got the one heading to the Red Inn due east, we've got one for Dry's house, and now there's two where I don't know the ultimate destination. Don't want to build and extend one if it's headed somewhere in particular.
I was on the server when Ark was giving Mengy a link to the world file, which I downloaded and ran through Cartograph G.
The full map is available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5s14mz9jd7hfk7w/gafland-plan-2014-01-17.png (massive 26MB PNG file)
It's pretty far out of date now, so if Ark or Charlie fancies letting me have a new world file, I'll upload a refreshed overhead map.
Thanks. I can use this to work on the GAF Metro map. Also trying to catologue all the places of interest and stick them down.
his immoral and SOCIALIST blockade of my shop has turned me into a filthy commoner!
look at me now! i have no opulence!
The side door is still open
