Anyone else playing minecraft?

I'll just make a water bridge then when I run into your road.
Don't think I have yet though.

You should still be about 10k blocks away from his road .

Heads up, 1.4 was released.

Be sure you're using the latest launcher (redownload it right now instead of trying your minecraft install if unsure).

Using the new launcher, say no to the new version.
This will allow you to continue playing on the server.

Don't upgrade your client until Kintaii has upgraded the server.

[Collodion]

It'll be curious to see how 1.4 effects /spawn

And to be honest, having the bed reset spawn point kind of sucks. I could be out in the middle of nowhere and plop down a bed to pass the night, I don't want to be saved to that spot. Not to mention one can only get in to bed to change the spawn point at night.

Wolves sound cool though. Too bad with mobs off we won't get them.

[Kintaii]

I'll put up cash money that it won't be long before someone cranks out a mod that allows you to use multiple beds as a pseudo-warping system in SMP. ;P

Far as the wolves go... they do sound cool, and I may try to figure out a way to work 'em in via a limited spawn of some fashion - We'll see.

[Vhax]

Doesn't look like there's much for us in 1.4.
I'm hoping there's some bug fixes in there that just didn't feel worth mentioning in the changelog though.
I'd love to be able to exit boats normally

Kintaii, does this affect your plans for the weekend?
I suppose everyone can just keep their version at 1.3 instead of waiting for Bukkit for 1.4.

[Kintaii]

Yeah, doesn't effect me at all - Means I may not actually switch the *server* over to Bukkit yet, but I can work on config files for the plugins, which is the majority of the effort++ involved. I'm going to take a deeper look into how 1.4 effects Bukkit during the weekend, so we'll see how things play out over the next few days.

And now that 1.4 is actually out, here's the changelog:

• Added tameable wolves
• Added cookies
• Sleeping in a bed now resets your spawn position
• New Minecraft logo
• Holding shift while climbing will hang on to the ladder
• Spiders will no longer trample crops
• Lots and lots of infrastructure for Statistics lists and Achievements

While most of the code is written, statistics and achievements won’t show up until the next update. We didn’t quite have time to finish them this week, and didn’t want to delay the update longer.

So yeah, not really a lot in there for us at the moment but hey, whatevs. Hopefully nothing horribly *breaks* this time around. XD

Patch day is the worst time to be a server admin

[Kintaii]

You can take my method of server management which is "This is all going to be broken for a few days anyway so fuggit - I'm gonna go get a beer". =D

was scrolling through the plugins and i came accross this one here called war. i remember we were discussing the ability to do pvp at one point but i think it just sorta trailed off and got left behind. it looks like good fun and i've even made a PF for such a thing. so would it be possible to have this added to the list?

[Regarok]

Okay, I switched my private server (also hosted at multiplay) from 1.3 and hmod to 1.3 and bukkit.

AddOns installed atm:

AutoRepair
Essentials
Stargate

I've tested some AddOns, what I can say is:

Minecart Mania lags the hell out of the server. I wasn't able to figure out why it does so, but I'll have a closer look tomorrow.

Essentials is wonderful and has, as far as I saw, everything the AddOn "Permissions" offers, making Permissions obsolete because of Essentials having a lot more functions. You can set Permissions for different groups with essentials, etc. pp.. Essentials makes the kits plugin obsolete also.

AutoRepair seems to do nothing yet, but I'll have a closer look tomorrow.

I'll also have a look at the other AddOns Kintaii posted.

Heads up. Don't know if you know this, but bonemeal on saplings doesn't work. It blooms leaves that constantly bounce back when hit, and doesn't grow any trunk. Thankfully a relog clears the leaves. (Applies to Kintaii's server)

It doesn't always do this though.
But I always instinctively apply bonemeal from max distance and walk backwards after clicking.

I built and cleared out an entire stack of saplings, so there are times that it does work fine.

I will build the city of Seoul with my bare hands!

Speaking of minecraft's store.
The real store has a 3 creeper moon shirt!

I use a combination of EpicGates and WormholeXtreme for my travel needs. The WormholeXtreme are stargates, which is a must imo. But I also like the EpicGates for simple teleporters from one location to another that don't require any large construction. You can customize the actual block that initiates the teleport. Handy for a tp from the ground up to a floating island or building for instance.

Far as the wolves go... they do sound cool, and I may try to figure out a way to work 'em in via a limited spawn of some fashion - We'll see.

I had a friend of mine put up a SMP server with the latest patch, to test out said wolves. You won't have to limit how many their are, as we had to go running around aimlessly throughout the map for 10 min or so looking for them, so they are rare. What you should try and see if you can limit is how many you can control at once. My friend and I kept finding packs of wolves (the wolves always come in packs, ranging from 1 wolf to 7 wolves total), and before long, he had an army of wolves following him. it was quite humorous, however it started to lag the server when he had that many following him. They also spawn in peaceful mode, so you can get a wolf no matter what, unless you turn NPCs off entirely.

Kintaii: when we switch over, can you make sure "Minecart Mania Pressure Plates" is not installed?

That plugin changes the behavior of pressure plates and some of the existing setups on the server rely on this behavior.
Including some of the stuff Iriche and me are building atm.

[Vhax]

Can DeepyDC be added to the whitelist? (Amodorri in AO)

[Triadninja]

we needz the server back up. I wanna finish avalon's astronomical wall project.
