Linux Minecraft; Official Bit-tech server

survival is back up

 

When did the IP change?

Also on the survival server, I haven't seen any hostile mobs at night lately or underground. I'm not complaining about the lack of creepers blowing my arse up but some of the other mobs drop useful stuff.

 

Guess I will have to make an effort to get online more then..... unfortunately due to work and other real life commitment I can sometimes not be around for weeks on end - hence why Peter was probably asking last night if I was known after the griefing talk, which I can understand given it has been a while since I was last on

Currently I only have the creative server IP and am in the process of building my second house and am gonna have to figure out how redstone works..... still not looked into that yet

 

I think it's the issue with too many slimes that's causing the lack of mob spawns. I believe XM was looking into a solution but I don't know how far he got with it. We might have to wait until Mojang fix the problem

 

is it just me or is the creative server down

 

What's the current policy on minecarts and redstone circuits? I know it says don't use them at the start of the topic but I just wanted to ask if that rule's been changed since then?

 

lol, someone should probably update that.

carts and redstone work fine now.

 

Hi guys,

A little status update on the survival server

I have been playing around with a new version of Bukkit and a couple of the plugins for the past couple of days and i finaly got everything working. It's ready to go live now. I'll try to do the switcharoo when the server is empty.
The setup has the latest version of everything again, so that should mean a lot of bugfixes.

I have also set up a MySQL database for BigBrother to log to. BB now keeps the records for 14 days. That should be more then enough time for you to warn me about griefing, even if i'm offline for a couple of days.

On a side note.... I may have found a house so chances are i'm moving in a couple of weeks Not sure what i am gonna do with the server though. I'm not sure if the new house has enough bandwidth :x Maybe i can leave it at my current home... but you'll know soon enough

Bye for now

 

Where pcclan blew up his house in SMP there is a perfect place to build a minecart station. It is such a good place in fact, that I have started building one now. ATM there are 4 tracks on 2 platforms, 3 of which are available. So if you want a minecart track to anywhere (probably a home) then check out the construction and post here.

For those that don't know where pcclan's old house was, go east from the spawn - past the footie pitch. Help building the rest of the station (foyer etc.) is appreciated!

 

A bit out of the way, innit? I guess if you're going to build another one near the current spawn that would be pretty cool.

 

Its a 1 minute walk!

 

A 1 minute walk from the old spawn which is another ~7-10 minutes from the current spawn

 

The current spawn is the house on an island connected to the rest of the spawn village, yes?
I think the blown up building was pcclan's old house. His new house is just next to it.

 

pc has an exploded house in both spawns now? I guess i wouldn't put it past him.

 

Don't carts create massive lag on SMP?

 

That's what I've heard. I wonder, would setting the view-distance to short have any effect?

 

prior to beta breaking our plugins, we had an entire dedicated rail system on the creative server and it didnt cause any problems.

 

People are welcome to come visit me, house is empty. need advice on decorating.
There is a tunnel to get to me shown in map below. the tunnel ends at a ladder that comes up into the house.

 

You had better watch out - that last pic has the server IP on it. Don't want to be giving it away!

On other notes, I am building a second smaller minecart station just next to the tree house by the spawn. 2 tracks, one leading to the first station, the other reserved for another long-distance station.

I also found an 'theatre' hidden at bedrock level. The staircase under the tree house leads to a mine which has several openings at the very top of this chamber. Logon fell down from an opening, then was killed by slimes. I then built a gravel escalator to rescue his stuff, but died when a huge slime spawned next to me Then he successfully rescued his stuff and most of mine, while I was finding a safe way to get into it. But by that time logon had escaped.

Whose is this theatre? Why does it have to be so tempting to get into

 

Gee, thanks for pointing it out and clarifying that it's the actual server address
