Linux Minecraft; Official Bit-tech server

who and when did someone build over the top of my football field?

for referance it is next to my Arc de Triomphe near warp 5. (Creative server)

 

Agreed, the rivers and the canyons/ravines are pretty awesome. Can be a bit spazzy though, ravines through super tall mountains look weird.

 

At first 1.8 was kind of bitter sweet for me. Food everywhere and stacks to 64, health regen, sprinting, jump critical is OP as heck... and then suddenly, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA



All is forgiven.

 

Any one else have trouble logging in to the survival tonight?

 

Windows 7 is crapping up on me. More and more programs are getting "..stopped working"-messages. Had to reinstall Java, and MC behaves edgy. Looks like a reinstall is heading my way..

This brings me to my question: Any one successfully installed a linux version with Win7 running on a virtual-machine? I'm downloading Mint to have it a go, don't know if it will work, but read about it in LinuxFormat and thought I might give it a try..

Although, I might not have much time to do this on my spare-time, since I 'prolly' begin attending school soon, and move to a new home (if only MrsFio and I can actually win a "biding-round" for a house?)

Anyways, 1.8 coming up after the weekend - think I'll play a bit Single-player to get the feel of the game..

 

You wont be able to play minecraft on linux on a virtualbox, there is no graphics acceleration.
Linux Mint is pretty good, although id recomend Ubuntu

 

Think you misunderstood me. I meant installing Linux and then running Win7 on a virtual machine (still playing Minecraft in Linux obviously.. ) Why have Win 7 on a virtual-machine? Why not?

 

I went past there last night - and it wasn't there then.. Right Elliot? (Elliot was there too)

 

so its just poped up in the last day then? not been on much after i finished clearing that masive sphere next to spawn lol.

 

I think MrsFio meant the footballfield on the survival-server. Kinda my fault though, since I told her about it (I thought it was on survival..) haven't been on the creative-server in a loong time

 

1.8 is amazing.

The survival gameplay feels much more tense with the addition of hunger and though I think it could do with some tweaking (I feel the food bar drains too fast), I think it really, really adds to the game.

As others have said, the new terrain generation is just fantastic too; and the new lighting system really adds to the atmosphere without compromising the blocky, retro-style of the game's visuals.

None of the changes in 1.8 are that significant on their own, but as a whole combined update to the game it really adds so much and makes the game feel different in a good way.

 

What he said..

 

Agree with the above. We will definitely be needing a new map when 1.8 is released properly. Underground mines, ravines and strongholds Cheesecake!

 

Combat is too easy, mines are too prolific atm, villages are vacant, so play with villages/mines off.

Diamond is an awful lot easier to get to with the ravines.

Furnaces are bugged, though there's a bytecode fix for that written by a third party. Very frustrating.

Finally, vines are the new wildfire. They spread EVERYWHERE!!!

Other than that, it's a nice update.

EDIT: Oh, and low level lighting hardcoded for gloominess near the bedrock ruins large low level rooms. there should be an option to disable it.

 

it's a pre-release. The bugs will get fixed.

 

I'm aware.

@jeb_ has said he'll at least update the pre-release tomorrow (whether that affects us due to asset access, I'm not sure)

I'm mostly mucking about with creative.

 

Thought I would give this a try and see what 1.8 is going to look like

Quick question - what texture packs have been updated to include the new 1.8 blocks and what are people using?

 

A lot of them were updated pretty quickly. I've always used Misa's 64x. Tried a dozen different others, and this one's really the best imo (his older cobblestone was better, but it's a matter of taste, and easy to replace manually). Packs above 64x look like crap, because at a distance everything's a mess of pixels, and I can't really go back to 16x now after higher resolutions.

 

Minecraft 1.8 is out now. How long before the servers are updated and what are we doing about a new map?

 

+1

Also, I propose we agree not to take any items across for the first week or two, really start afresh.
