Linux Minecraft; Official Bit-tech server

and the wool - thing sounds really great!! Looking forward to checking it out!

 

Creepers aren't a huge threat to me. They sit outside of my fort, quietly waiting. However, when you decide to run through the dark, leading all of the creepers, like some kind of super-macabre pied piper, I will kill you, just so that the creepers do not explode and do damage to my base. This means you, pcclan.

DarkLord, I will share some of the loot from my mine. This means some. Some is well-known to mean less than all.

==EDIT==

We also briefly mentioned generating a new map. Should we have a poll, or something?

 

i second this motion. everyone please remember to be extremely careful when entering/exiting other peoples houses. i have no problems if you take to my place for shelter for the night, just dont get it blown to bits during your comings and goings

 

Oh, I see I have a new neighbour! Did you leave any space between the buildings so people can get past

EDIT: No. You didn't. In all this worlds space you built a small garden right up on top of my edge wall. Gee, thanks for that.

And to the person who wanted to experiment with redstone on my double doors, please don't, I had to remove it all because you completely closed the entrance.

 

Not really a fan of people who resort to childish acts of griefing over a couple blocks of minerals, so doesn't really matter to me.

 

did you guys just get booted too?

 

We must have an unwelcome addition to our crowd Those two dispensers filled with arrows in my house were aimed at people (i.e. me) coming through the door with pressure plates behind them. Thankfully I spawned behind them and removed them.

Whoever it is, you can **** off.

Also, I removed the big wall on the garden next to me and modified it a bit. I left a note near the door to explain why. I hope you don't mind.

 

Oh no!
Just read that hmod will no longer be developed, and will instead be replaced by something else called "bukkit" whenever that is ready. Also it seems that MPUK will keep their servers running at version 1.1 until bukkit is ready. This means the current hiatus might go on for a while, so I will be downgrading my MC client to version 1.1 in order to get back online.

 

So im running back to my little hole, full of gear i just salvaged over night, just about to jump through my front door, i hear a noise, i look up....



Since when do creepers spawn in trees, doh

 

Latest news in the hey0 forum is that it will be updated (see here). So if MPUK have already decided to wait, that is a bit overreacting is it not?

Ow well, this whole hey0/Bukkit-thing was a train wreck waiting to happen and so it did

I guess we can only wait and see where this goes

 

Now why on earth would we do that?

In other news, the skeleton trap/arrow factory still won't let me in since the patch. I think it might be affected by the (now broken) hey0 spawn protection.

 

+10! This map is fantastic and the builds in it are lovely. Some lovely tall hills, epic views and deep water.

Has anyone seen any of the new trees btw?

Also - we found out earlier you can make coloured sheep, but unfortunately they don't stay around because animals are dynamic

 

Survival server going down for hardware upgrade. Will probably be back with a Nether-server also...

I'll inform you later.

I know server to server travel is possible with a hey0 plugin (so not yet), but probably not with the keeping of ones inventory. Which would make the whole thing pretty pointless. I'll check that out.

 

Huh, I see. Didn't catch that one, but it's still a mess though. :S
I will still downgrade my client for the time being, and await the updated hmod.

 

How do you dye them?

 

If you need coal and can't find any in the ground, just cook logs straight from the tree in a furnace! Life is much easier now

Well, charcoal. It works the same as coal, just... different name.

 

Planks have the same "furnace" power and you get 4 blocks of planks from a block of wood.

X, how long does it take you to install a stick of RAM?

 

Not verry long, but that is not the hold-up

I am upgrading the VM too (more CPU, more RAM). So just to be safe in am backing the whole thing up. This takes a while.

Be patient, i think it will be worth it

 

lol peter. you getting the shakes from MC withdrawal already? You could try some *shock* Single Player ;-)

I'd like to go on record to say thanks again to XM for setting up and maintaining this unofficial survival server. It has been a lot of fun, even on plain vanilla settings. Thanks too to those who I've been online with. Barring a few minor incidents the server community has been very respectful and generally more mature than others I have witnessed.

Most 'transgressions' have been very minor, folks, and there's always the other side to what you see or think you saw. Don't get too stroppy about a few pixels, we don't even have any rules beyond the very subjective "common sense" and it would be a shame to see any significant policing being done, so just think about consequences before you act and we continue to maintain decorum.

I'd not be happy with starting out on a new map. I didn't join a community that I thought was going to wipe its server without very good cause. I'm quite happy with just plain vanilla MC, no mods, no nether, few biomes slong as the servers has good bandwidth, CPU and memory, and the people are good quality (and both Official BT and XM's have both these in spades!).

 

For some of us its either Minecraft or work, im settling for wearing out the f5 key.
