General Minecraft Server Talk Thread

[CatalystiCam]

I didn't really see one of these threads so I may as well post one.

Basically just a heads up that I moved to a snow Biome, and am now going to start playing daily again. Starting relatively fresh, and I have a few ideas in mind being ghat I never lived in a snow biome.

I don't know though, just pointing out that I will be on more, and hoping you guys all will too lol, since it's kind of died down again.

[TheGuardian]

Server ebbs and flows with interest. People will come back. don't worry.

[Dudebro]

Well it is christmas time, I'm sure that has a lot to do with the activity thing.

[KATZ]

yeah, people have places to go and people to see, we might also even get more people after christmas

[CatalystiCam]

oh, that's true. Well I guess I hadn't noticed too much. Christmas isn't really normal for us this year, and by that I mean were hardly having it, other than my Cousins coming for a day and a christmas meal.

[Dudebro]

Who built the big fenced area in the snow zone? Seems kinda pointless since putting up torches will melt the snow.

[CatalystiCam]

I did, kind of my major Animal Coop. It's not that close to you either. Probably will size it down, but the animals I kept seeing had influence over where I built :P

Edit: It is kind of close to you, never mind. I'll size it down.

[Dudebro]

Yeah not that close? That's like right next to me. Didn't you notice my house when you were building it?

[CatalystiCam]

no, my render distance is on Tiny, sorry. I've already downsized it some, but unfortunately some land formations caused it to be not that huge of a downsize. I don't want the coop too big either, because it will be too hard to look after the mobs.

Check The Dynamic map though, I've left the old outline so the difference can be seen. Going to keep working on it.

[Dudebro]

Big coop means lag to me. Not that MC lags much for me anymore but tons of animals makes me notice a drop in framerate.

I don't really care about the snow zone. I just wanted to connect it and build a house for people to use if they need it. I'd rather the zone not be taken over with big projects but it's not like I can stop anyone.

[CatalystiCam]

I'm slowly shrinking it, well, that's my plans anyways. Also, I never intended to have many animals there, just like enough to keep me fed.

[Dudebro]

Funny you bring that up. I found tons of cows and pigs not far from the portal.

[CatalystiCam]

cool, they don't respawn anymore though.

[Dudebro]

So? Like I said it's close by. Use your little OP powers and go slaughter them.

[CatalystiCam]

that's not a far walk lol :P

it means once they're gone, they're gone. Kind of need a contained area to keep them going.

[Dudebro]

So if you kill all the animals in a chunk none will ever spawn again? I thought it meant they just don't despawn randomly and respawn, so they end up in a corner somewhere until they get killed.

[CatalystiCam]

not sure, Ten just said they don't spawn anymore. I think it was ten.

[Dudebro]

Well if they didn't respawn at all the game would get empty as people move outward from spawn. There must be some kind of respawn.

[KATZ]

thats also how it works in real life

[Kugyince]

Passive mobs can respawn but it's extremely rare. The cycle check is once every 400 ticks for just the chance of passives spawning. To put that in perspective, hostile cycle checks are once every tick. Couple that with both the fact that they can only spawn within a 15x15 chunk of a player and each chunk has a max mob cap limit means the chances of passive mobs spawning are very, very slim.

Lastly, only 1:10 of every chunk is even checked when that cycle comes through and they can not spawn in desert or ocean biomes.

Nearly all passive mobs are generated when a chunk is generated. On the plus side, you can breed them and they do not despawn.

This excludes squid, which are passive but have their own spawning code.

[Dudebro]

I gotta say that all sounds very stupid. I prefer a world that isn't dead or nearly dead. Animals should spawn or breed on their own.

[CatalystiCam]

I agree that it would be nice if they bred on their own on rare occasions as well. Besides, I've found that the wheat won't always work. I'll give it to two mobs, and they'll just continue about their business without contacting the other mob.

[Kugyince]

The mobs have to "see" each other while in love mode to breed. Just like how an animal wont follow you with wheat in your hand unless they "see" you.

[Dudebro]

I don't know what's going on but the server was lagging pretty consistently last night(didn't seem to be on my end from what I can tell). Because of that I fell into lava three times in the nether while trying to build bridges. Thankfully I stored most of my important stuff before the first attempt, still lost some diamond armor though, that kinda hurt.

[Kugyince]

Easiest way to tell if it's you or the server is if there's block lag. Meaning you mine a block, it pops back into exisistance than goes back to being mined again.

[Dudebro]

Well I did see that occasionally but not much. The lag I noticed was skeletons shooting at me when I couldn't see them and the falling off into lava while holding shift.

[Kugyince]

Who got a Silk Touch pick with Efficiency IV tonight? This guy!

[KATZ]

NICE, now, can you use it to get mushroom blocks?

[Kugyince]

Maybe.....

Just enchanted another lvl 50 diamond pick. Very happy with this one as well; Efficiency V & Unbreaking III. Took about 4 seconds to mine a piece of obsidian.

Now I have my normal pick and my Silk Touch pick. Now I just need to get a Fortune pick for those diamond veins and I can move on to swords.

[Dudebro]

Those unbreaking diamond picks aren't messing around. I've had mine for quite a while and used it a lot, including many times with obsidian, and it's barely halfway dead. If I wasn't so worried about dieing randomly I'd keep it on me all the time.

[Kugyince]

I know, it's very nice.

Diamond picks have 1,562 uses to them. Unbreaking III means it now has 6,248. :D

And efficiency v is just like being in creative for most stones. One mouse click and mined.

[CatalystiCam]

Try shearing Mooshrooms. There is a current glitch that multiplies them into 2 cows. Just pointing that out.

[Kugyince]

I think the server went public today. Found two new members I've never seen before. If so that really sucks because I'm not protected by World Guard.

[CatalystiCam]

Nah, I asked sky the same thing because I saw them on Dynamap. They're just people he knows again.

[Dudebro]

Yeah I saw three new people, that Beakman dude seems cool.

I might have a couple friends joining soon too, waiting to hear back.

[TheGuardian]

Server will not go public without me telling you guys before hand. so have no fear about that.

[Kugyince]

Cam put World Guard around most of my area so now I'm happy. I'll have to see if Lockette is in place also.

When are we getting a portal to our 1.8 world?

[sirchichi]

Hey for those who dont know me yet im sirchichi (call me ichi)
Im a self proclaimed redstone expert, and i already made a cake factory. i do need some more chickens for the egg thing though. not nearly enough. ill trade for redstone anytime. i can do installs for people if they want machines too.

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

Oh, and Cam? the world gaurd didnt work that you set. i had my bro test it, and he could break all the bblocks in the region still :P

[TheGuardian]

When are we getting a portal to our 1.8 world?

I've been really lazy about things with the holiday and other things and blah. I'm going to force myself to work on the server tomorrow and get all the mods we want implemented so we can go live. Last few days of sleep deprivation hasn't helped either.

[Dudebro]

Welcome to RU Ichi. If you need redstone help yourself to whats in the npc town near spawn, the community storage building. I left several stacks there.

[CatalystiCam]

Oh, and Cam? the world gaurd didnt work that you set. i had my bro test it, and he could break all the bblocks in the region still :P

I know I told you already, but for all others reference. Any op can edit any area. Your brother is op I guess.

[Dudebro]

If possible I'd like my bunker near spawn to be protected. It's a small area so it shouldn't be a big deal. Also sumo wants his place protected but I have to talk to him about which one. I believe it's the lava/netherbrick one near his original place if you wanna go ahead and do it for now. That place has more circuits and stuff so losing it would probably piss him off.

Also is it possible to enable certain normal members to bypass the protection? Like with sumo and I, we'd prefer to share.

[CatalystiCam]

I can surely do that for you guys, now that I've figured it all out. Yes also, you can enable whoever you want to be able to edit the area... Well sky, Null, or myself can by typing in a command. Say I could make DB Region owner of his house, but have Sumo member which really doesn't make a difference other than reference as to who owns it.

Actually, I believe the owner of the region can type the same command chain in to add or remove people from their region. Let's say DB has a region called Unyobro1. the command line to add sumo would be

/region addmember Unyobro1 Sumostomp

DB, do you want your whole underground mine to be protected too?

[Dudebro]

No way that would be silly, have you seen how big that mine is? It even goes all the way around the spawn area.

[CatalystiCam]

alright, was kind of hoping you'd say that lol. Also, tenser and I tried, he can't add people to his region even as region owner. So the region owner or member thing makes no difference really.

[Kugyince]

Scored my third and final awesome pick enchantment that I wanted.

Diamond pick:
Efficiency IV
Unbreaking III
Fortune III

Went to test it out. Found 2 diamond ores and ended up with 5 diamonds. Winner is me.

[CrispyChicken]

Nice Ten!

[sirchichi]

Hey Cam, do you know my exact world gaurd regions? someone took my pumpkin.... i need the location of the 2 punkins. later im gna make some borders with pumpkins and iron bars ^^

[CatalystiCam]

no, but I believe it says in info. I'll check next time I'm on probably tomorrow.

[Dudebro]

If you go into a portal there's a netherwort farm with pumpkins in it, help yourself. There should also be some at sumos house if you know where that is.

[Seahawk]

I'm back in school, so I should be on the server a lot more often again.

[RU Joe]

I understand that playing Minecraft in school as an educational tool is becoming popular, similar to how the Rubik's Cube found its way into the classroom when I was young.

Tried to log in tonight with no success.
Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

[CatalystiCam]

I solved my lag issues. Turns out, when it's snowing, my game lags(in-game of course). However, when it rains I'm fine. I get really low FPS in a snow biome generally, but when it snows, especially in this new update, it is terrible. I'm hoping to find new unexplored MC 1.1 land with Seahawk and katz. Going :D Hopefully I can find a way to copy my house over too, it's been turning out real nice.

[Kugyince]

Wait til 1.2 and get yourself a jungle biome?

[CatalystiCam]

not opposed to the idea.

[KATZ]

cam broke dynamap....... just sayin' ;)

[warghoul]

Minecraft is always doing something weird it's easily the glichiest game I ever played.
Or maybe my computer sucks I don't know.

[Dudebro]

Weird like what?

[warghoul]

music skipping shades on things making blocks/signs black, seeing through the ground,
blocks reforming after you knock them apart.

[Dudebro]

Music skipping I never really notice, don't pay attention to the elevator music anyways. The shading problem is probably your PC yeah, it fixes itself if you break the block right? Seeing through the ground is a chunk error and it happens to everyone. It should fix itself as you get close to it. Blocks reforming is bad if the block actually comes back fully and you have to rebreak it. For me I sometimes see the block come back but only for a second like a shadow and it's not really there.

[warghoul]

for me with the block thing it does both.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

and I've actually fallen thru the ground several times.

[Dudebro]

I think I remember JG saying he also fell through the world from that. I've never had it happen but my PC is pretty good. Even so I still get some pretty huge chunk errors sometimes.

Go into options and see if you can turn "advanced open gl" on. If you can it might help because it makes MC not render stuff you can't directly see. You could also try turning your graphics to fast and your view down from far.

---------- Post added 01-22-2012 at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was 01-20-2012 at 04:00 PM ----------

I gotta say I'm really not liking this move some of you guys are making. With no way to travel between the zones it's gonna leave the spawn/starter area a ghost town. Even with a way to travel it's gonna be so ridiculously tedious, unless it's some kind of direct portal. Obviously I know OPs and Admin can just teleport us but when some of us are online there's no OPs for hours. That kinda leaves people stuck in one place or the other. It also means any new people will be hanging out by themselves. With dynamap gone it makes traveling there through the nether or overworld nearly impossible. I get that you guys want a fresh start in a new area but this seems very antisocial and unnecessary.

Also I'm well aware some of you will just think "oh well db is just mad about something else now" but I really do think this is a valid complaint. If the population was spread out before it's gonna be even worse now. Kinda makes building stuff pointless if no one is gonna be around to see it or interact with it.

[CrispyChicken]

Is there someway we can build a portal between the two towns?

[Dudebro]

Unless Guardian has a way with a weird portal then the only way is an extremely long nether run, worse than the one to the mushroom island which is already pretty annoying.

[CatalystiCam]

Is there someway we can build a portal between the two towns?

Nether. I think copying and pasting the portals to be right near each other could work as well, but don't quote me. What I mean by that is that the nether portal created from the new town spawned a portal randomly in the nether. The new portal in the nether I could try to copy and paste nearby the old nether one linking the two, then delete the portal that was randomly spawned in the nether from the new town were all in. This would make the run between the portals in the nether as short as we want it to be.

But that is the best I'll do, I'm sorry, I like the idea of living close together in new land. I'm enjoying it, and it makes the online to this make more sense. I'm not moving, but I'll do what I can to link the two easier.

[Dudebro]

Do you get the part where you guys moving is abandoning the stuff we already built and anyone still playing there? It's great for you guys but otherwise it's contributing to the server being more spread out and anti social. Like I said in game it's like two servers connected by a chat room at this point.

[Seahawk]

It's simple really, anyone who is interested, including yourself, can join us.

[Dudebro]

Yeah that's obvious. My point is the people who fly off to a secluded land are abandoning everyone else and making the game more spread out and antisocial. Do you guys care about that or am I wasting my time caring about this?

[DrunkN]

Yeah that's obvious. My point is the people who fly off to a secluded land are abandoning everyone else and making the game more spread out and antisocial. Do you guys care about that or am I wasting my time caring about this?
I care.

I suggest we all own beds exclusively in one room in a designated zone/cave/house, then feel obligated to build close/within close access by/to to said zone/cave/house.

[Dudebro]

If a instant/nearly instant portal can be made then all of this is moot for me. My main concern is new players and people being stuck in a ghost town in the hours when no OPs are on. This comes off as kinda selfish to be totally honest. If this was just some random server I wouldn't even complain but I care about the RU server and I want it to keep going. Packing up and abandoning the stuff we worked on and anyone who doesn't share your desire to move seems like a bad idea.

What happened to just generating new chunks near spawn?

[Seahawk]

My point is the people who fly off to a secluded land are abandoning everyone else and making the game more spread out and antisocial.

So we are obligated to play in a way that is "good for the server"?
Yes, playing on a server brings up a cooperative play aspect, but at the same time Minecraft is a purely personal experience.

We, both as players, and as the group we have formed, have chosen to move away, and we owe nothing to anybody else. Why should we be forced to stay in old buildings just because we built them first?

And, correct me if I'm wrong, but there has been NO co-op activity of any kind near the spawn zone, this is why everyone has their own house, zone, territory, etc so I don't see how this is so different, aside from distance, and everyone was already greatly spread out anyways.

[Dudebro]

Of course you're not obligated to do anything. I'm not trying to force anyone I'm just pointing out how bad I think the idea is.

By forming a group and abandoning the main spawn continent you've made it practically deserted. That does effect the rest of us negatively so it's directly effecting the server. I'm not saying stay in the buildings you built but why go the extreme route of just taking off and leaving everything and everyone else behind? Is the idea of replacing chunks on the mainland not even being considered anymore?

That's the problem, the distance. If you guys were just nearby on some reasonably reachable continent it wouldn't be a problem but instead you're off in some place so distant it might as well be another server.

The reason people spread out is because people like to explore and do new things. The difference is all those places were still relatively close by and we could've filled in as we expanded. By leaving it's just making the issue worse.

Either way I'm not gonna fight it and ruin peoples fun. Just know that this plan is killing my desire to play because I feel like all the stuff we've done and anything I might do in the future is pointless because no one will be around. If you guys are fine with that then oh well I guess.

[Kugyince]

I mostly share your opinion UMB. Its made my MC experience one of SSP with a bad chat function. Plus I have too much invested and too much planned to even consider moving.

That being said, there's nothing you or I can do about it. They're free to build where they choose.

[KATZ]

i dont even want to build there anymore because of this... besides.... im the only one that vists anyone anyways it seems.... so i guess im gonna start walking back now

[CatalystiCam]

This ruins my fun to have drama over a game. Seahawk wants to start over, frankly I would too, this has been my least favourite server we've had. However, I know not everyone wants that, so this seemed like a way to make everyone happy. So now we have 6 people together far off, and then maybe 4 or 5 off on their own somewhere. It's a hell of a lot better than me off on my own, DB off on his own, katz off with warghoul, ten off with chris, sumo off on his own now, seahawk off on his own now. It sucked, and it may as well have been minecraft single player with a chat room other than I had to teleport out of my god-awful snow biome to protect people's land now and then, and maybe katz would visit now and then. At least now we have a group of people living and working together. You don't seem to get that what has already been explored is pretty much a giant island. Did you not notice that? There has already been people living on every section of it, and there was no favourable spots to build a town with the type of land we wanted... at least 9000 blocks of ocean surrounded what we already explored, so sure lets just move a bit further and live in the ocean, right?

[CrispyChicken]

I'll start over for 1.2. I'm interested in living in a jungle biome.

[warghoul]

I'll do either. Whatever makes everyone happy. haven't really been able to play the last few days.
Hopefully I'll get to play a bunch this week.

[CatalystiCam]

I'm for starting over as well come 1.2

[KATZ]

all i want is to be able to play without people having disputes

[Dudebro]

@Tenser- I appreciate the support but calling me umadbro is already getting old and it wasn't funny when fungus did it. From him it's meh but I don't appreciate you disrespecting me.



@everyone else- I already said I don't wanna force you guys and ruin your fun. If you guys are gonna have fun over there then do it. I just wanted to vent my frustration and make sure you considered the other side of it. I logged out pretty quickly last night because I didn't want to bring everyone down. I was gonna log back in later and talk about it but everyone was offline.

What happened to the new chunks idea? I thought that was a better solution. It would bring everyone back to the spawn area to explore and build. Honestly I was waiting for that while I finished my place up on mushroom island. Now it seems like that idea isn't even being considered anymore, is that right?

Does this also mean there's no way to make a portal to far away land? One that doesn't take a long time to run to I mean.

Would it be possible to move that whole new continent closer to the old one by replacing the huge worthless ocean blocks all around us?

Instead of just moving away or giving up altogether we should've been discussing this as a community, that's how I see it. Making a decision as a small group and acting on it just feels like you guys don't want the rest of us involved. Not saying that's true just telling you how it came across to me.

We're all friends here lets work something out. I'd rather put up with being off by myself than have you guys come back and not have fun.

[KATZ]

i dunno, im heading back to my castle because i have idas for it and ran out of ideas for farawayland

[Dudebro]

Heading back like manually traveling? If so that seems pretty drastic. Either way I just don't want you to give up on it over this. Things seem messed up now but I have a feeling we can all come to an agreement.

[Kugyince]

But UMB seems soooooo fitting.

Anyways, I'm fine with practically living by myself. I just don't understand the appeal of getting up and moving every few weeks. I thought our original goal was to build this awesome community slowly over time. That's why I just grabbed a spot kinda close to spawn.

tl;dr
You guys do what you want, I have my own plans. :D

---------- Post added 01-23-2012 at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was 01-22-2012 at 06:50 PM ----------

1. Did you guys find a suitable world seed last night?

2. If we do change worlds are we going to become more like a community and all build next to each other like a small town again?

[KATZ]

1. Did you guys find a suitable world seed last night?

2. If we do change worlds are we going to become more like a community and all build next to each other like a small town again?

1. its the jungle one from last night

2. im for the community build. im searching for a suitable land for building, unless we all wanna live in snow

[Dudebro]

Is this new server gonna be permanent or are we not sure yet?

[CatalystiCam]

I'll help search, I believe the spawn could be changed to be near said community as well. Not sure if Katz already found a spot. Said I'd be back right away but apparently a 5 minute English follow-up at school turned into an hour-long wild goose chase for teachers to sign a ski-trip permission form which led to a conditional 2 hour long biology test... 5 minute day did not go as planned :P

[Dudebro]

We should keep our close knit community near spawn, like really close. I think the problem last game was people started building near the NPC town and that was off in one direction. Until dynamap I didn't even realize my house was closer to spawn than the NPC village.

[warghoul]

When would this new server be up?

[Dudebro]

The current one is a beta of the update so you'd need a couple steps to access. I dunno the steps but one of these guys can walk you through it if you wanna jump on.

[CatalystiCam]

The spawn can be changed I believe, so it's probably no big deal.

[warghoul]

Yeah I'll dedinately jump on if we get a cool community thing going that would be cool.

[Seahawk]

This all sounds really complicated, but it sounds like you guys are starting the server over.

You can go ahead and do that, but I say that when 1.2 is official, we reboot for that too so that we properly get jungle biomes, advanced AI, and whatever other future fixes they add in between now and then.

[Dudebro]

Yes that's the idea, we're gonna just start it over to make everyone happy. I don't like losing the stuff I worked on but if we're all gonna make an effort to build close, at least for a while, then I think it will be a good change.

I'm waiting until the update to play anyways.

[Kugyince]

This all sounds really complicated, but it sounds like you guys are starting the server over.

You can go ahead and do that, but I say that when 1.2 is official, we reboot for that too so that we properly get jungle biomes, advanced AI, and whatever other future fixes they add in between now and then.


Most updates do not require new world seeds to be generated. The only issue this time was that the biome code was severly altered. There shouldn't be a need to restart again when 1.2 comes out.

[TheGuardian]

Biomes are really the only thing that require server restarts. We shouldn't need a new one after this beta world. I just wish mojang would stop this crap with requiring new worlds for significant things. Maybe someday they'll make it so new biomes can be generated as the world generates new areas when explored.

[warghoul]

I cant access the server It keeps saying client outdated and I can't seem to update my game.

[KATZ]

you gotta download the 1.2 snapshot manually and install it manually, once you get the . jar you got to hit the windows button + R then type %appdatta% then find roaming and find .minecraft once there got to bin and replace the minecraft.jar with the one you downloaded

[warghoul]

I think I'm gonna go back to my SNES I like just hitting power and reset

[KATZ]

ok... its not that hard really :( but do as you like

[Dudebro]

It sounds complicated but it's really not. I'm gonna wait until the update is official, probably, so I'll see you all then.

[warghoul]

It might not be hard but it made no sense to me Im not a computer person I just like old games

[Dudebro]

Well if you really wanna play rather than wait for the update I'm sure one of these guys can walk you through it in chat or something. I would but I'm also not very tech savvy and I'd probably confuse you more.

[warghoul]

I think I'll just wait for the update sounds the easiest and gives me time to play other games.

[Kugyince]

Update may not be out for another month or two, Just a heads up.

[CatalystiCam]

Update may not be out for another month or two, Just a heads up.

Why am I not surprised? :P

[KATZ]

a month or two seems to soon knowing mojang..... *looks at signature*

[DrunkN]

I can access neither the server nor dynamap. Is there something wrong?

[TheGuardian]

Server is using the 1.2 beta for jungle biomes right now. The old world is stored safely though. you'll have to get the upgrade to the client to connect. Dynmap was deleted a while ago due to massive space requirements and increasing load on my system. it won't be brought back. I would love to keep it but it just doesn't work well enough

[sirchichi]

Guys i have a wonderful idea to add some more fun to the server, and a wonderful gimmick if the server ever goes public. its based on the game Rocket Slime mostly.

So There are two teams, each building either A. Tank(see T further down) or B. Robot Mech.(see R further Down). They stock the project with redstone mechanics and machines and u make a personalized machine to battle with for a contest, for of course, Prizes :D
Each Month (Week might not be long enuogh) the two teams gather materials and build their machines, and then when the day arrives they battle!!!! Now heres where the rules change depending on tank or robot.

T- Each team builds a tank. You stock it with a cannon, ammo, and defenses. The object of the battle is to destroy the Gold block inside the tank (The tanks Heart or engine), and 'Shut down' the tank.
To do this, you must infiltrate the tank by crossing the battlefield, getting through the door, walking through the tank unharmed, getting through to the tanks engine, and destroy the gold with a Pickaxe(type of pick to be decided, maybe gold?). This concept is very simple if you have ever played rocket slime, and if you would like to learn more and try this concept out, i encourage you play the game!!! So each team gets a plot how ever big by how big, and you build a tank. The battle field is split in two, and maybe if wed like you can set traps on the field. You cross the field, and somehow disable the door. Whether they just build a cobble wall in front, a lava gate that needs to be shut off, or whatever it may be it must be breakable according to the rules. You can have dogs people zombies snow golems, whatever gaurding your tank, doors whatever, even other players!!! Then when u get insde, they must work thier way through your tank, and find your engine room, gaurded by another door (and players etc). theyn disable that door and go in to break the gold block!!! then when the gold block is broken they win. now if u ask why is it a tank? isnt this just a fortress? NO!!! because each machine is equipped with a main cannon, or some form of offense, whether its a zombie launcher, tnt cannon, arrow gun, something, that helps take out the other players tanks!!!! that way your tank can help destroy the tanks out areas, making it easier to get inside. you can have a cannon that drops sand blocks around your tank, and focus on all defense. you can make your cannonc be an extendable bridge, and then enter through holes or things in thier tank or cannon!!! it all depends how you want to play.
Now ill list the Basic rules below:
You can only break wool, cobble, redstone wire or torches (to be decided), and any other blocks we vote on.
The door must be openable from the outside, whether you dig through cobble, break a torch in the back of the tank, or flick a switch to open it or make it go haywire. you cannot make it openable only from the inside.
your gold block must be in a 3x3 room, on the center block. The door again must be possible to be broken from the outside of the room.
you cannot break or tamper with the others tank before the battle, and you only get limited supplies to work with in your tank.
you may have any number of players enter your battle, if approved by your captian.
each tank must have some sort of cannon or main offense or defense machine, otherwise its just a fortress.
It must have wheels, they do not have to work though. again, its what makes a tank.

I may modify these rules later. The post on robot mechs is after this one

[sirchichi]

i have a fantastic idea for the server to add some fun!!! Either tank or robot battles!
each month each team gather supplies to make a machine and battle them, and whoever wins gets a prize!!!This post is for the tank battles.

there are two teams, each which get a designated area to build thier tank, with a battlefield in between. the object is to destroy the tanks gold block, or thier engine.
You must cross the battle field, open the first door into the enemy tank, get through thier tank unharmed, break through the second barriers or door inside thier tank to the engine room, and must destroy the gold block with a golden pickaxe.

Each tank has wheels, an entrance 'door' of some sort, an engine room with another 'door', and the tanks main cannon. Ill now go in detail of the parts of the tank:

Wheels: just to make it more tankish and for looks mostly.
Cannon: Its just a fortress without a giant cannon!!! this cannon must be attached to your tank, and have either an offense or other(defense usually) capibility. a TNT cannon, machine gun, minecart launcher, are all decent ideas for offensive. In the other catagory may be a sand drop that drops sand and gravel around the tank to keep away intruders, or it could be a bridge that slowly extends into thier ship, or a massive cobble generator to use and fix then ship. just remember it MUST be a cannon or cannon shaped.
Engine room: must be a 3x3 wide and tall room, with the gold block on the floor in the center. this way there is one block between the engine and the walls. The walls should ( dont have too) be made of obsidian, but this is the only area you can build with obsidian. That way if something explodes in your ship, the egnine is safe, or they cant just TNT cannon the whole ship and win. Then its no fun!!!!
Doors: They must be openable from the outside. on the entrance to the tank, you have to be able to get in without help from the inside. Whether its simply a cobblewall, or you have to break into an outer compartment on the tank and break a torch, youn have to be able to get in from outside, and it opens the door. like a lava wall must have an off switch, not just make them swim through lava. thats unfair and ruins the sport. it doesnt have to be a door either. it can be a fire field that u must extinguish, but resets itself, a piston door, a jump across a pit tactic. must be approved like the rest of the ship though.

Basic rules and other things:
Each tank must be approved by a judge or neutral party to be fair and possible.
You may only break wool, cobblestone, gravel, and redstone wire and torches.
you cannot use any diamond materials, otherwise its simply too long of a battle.
you cannot build with obsidian, except for the outside of your engine room.
There should be a door to the tank, and an entrance from the top of your ship as well (trapdoor cobble block).
NO SPIDER CANNONS!!!! way to over powered, and would rip apart any tank in seconds. also all TNT cannons may only fire one projectile at a time.
There may be more rules as we go.

Hey, i found this, another update. Apparently a new mob for the jungle and other stuff

Download Minecraft 1.2 Snapshot 12w04 - New Jungle Mob Included! | Accelerated Ideas (http://www.accelerated-ideas.com/news/download-minecraft-12-snapshot-12w04--new-jungle-mob-included.aspx)

[sirchichi]

Regaurding the robot battles.

Whoever destroy the others robot beyond repair first wins.
Each team gets a designated a build space close to each others robots, and you must destroy the other teams robot first to where they can no longer function. that means all weapons are broken, you have disconnected The support, The appendage, and the control(explained later). each team uses their robot to destroy the other using arrow guns, tnt cannons and any other devices they have. you must also have protection for your robot to ensure it wont be destroyed so easily. that means gaurds (mobs players)walls, and other traps. i will now explain each part in detail:
Support:The 'Legs' of the robot. i say support because each robot only needs one support. it does not need to legs. you could make a giant wheel, or merely a small tower. the point is, it needs to support your robot off the ground, and have a sever point for the robot. when this is disconnected, then the robot would 'Fall' and become immobile. there must be a way of climbing this support somehow to the sever point.you may only have two Main appendages, all the rest do not need a sever point, and do not play a part of the support.Supports cannot be attached to Appendages. supports must touch ground, and cannot have weapons, only means of defense.
Appendage:I do not call them arms for the same reason as the support. You only need one. You may have two main appendages, and all others do not need a sever point. Appendages are used for weapons like tnt cannons, arrow guns, and other things like mob releases. Appendages cannot be connected to supports. if youd like, you could make one appendage, with one sever point, or you could have two with sever points. you only can have a max of two severable appendages. Appendages can have weapons or defenses.Each appendage cannot touch the ground.
Control: The head, or body, of the robot. It must have a sever point attached to it. You can use this as a body, and have all the appendages and supports attached, or you can attach it to a body and have it have its own sever point too. if it is used as a body though, thats one less sever point you have. the control must have either one defense or one weapon attachment 'controlled' by it, whether it controls an attachements weapon, a supports defense, or you can add one defense or weapon to it. a player must always be inside the control, or you cannot use any other part of the robot, since no one is 'controlling' it.
Sever points: Each sever point attaches something to either the control or a body. each sever point is 3x3 wide,but not high, of one type of block, besides bedrock, obsidian, or silverfish block.
Regaurding other important rules and facts: Each team may set 2 traps seperate from thier robot, but they do not count as part of the robot either.
each part of the robot must be accessable from crossing another part of the robot, so a player may climb from the ground ontp the robot and be able to get to every other part, without breaking or placing any blocks.
you may place one 5x4 cobblestone wall on your side of the battlefield, but it does not have to be 5x4, just merely using 20 blocks or less, and all blocks must be attached, and in one direction (north to south, or west to east).
All parts and traps etc must be approved by a nuetral party judge (not on either team).

Other rules may be added.

[Seahawk]

I already posted that here (http://retrouprising.com/other/minecraft/minecraft-weekly-update/t12729/p3/#post215337).

[DrunkN]

Jungle Biomes are great, it's fun to free run your way across an area or to try to get to the highest location.

[sirchichi]

hey i vote we either update to the new snapshot every week, or go back to the old map. cuz i dont want to have to change .jars files everytime i play multiplayer, because i wana play with mods

[Mareeps]

But won't that erase everything?

[Dudebro]

Any idea on when the update goes live?

[CrispyChicken]

I'm not even bothering with the snapshots. I'll play again once the 1.2 update is officially out.

[sirchichi]

well the servers been down whenever im on, so ill come back when its up, or the new update is out :P im gna be testing redstone mods to build a nice castle. its a hobby :P (also try spelunky super fun game i started playing again XD)

[Kugyince]

I also vote that we keep the server version updated. Even when 1.2 comes out there'll just be a new pre-release the next week.

Jeb has also stated that he plans on separating the biome generator from the world seed. This will allow them to update the world generator without requiring new maps to be generated.

[Mareeps]

Does anyone go on the server anymore?

[KATZ]

not since my monitor died (my laptop sucks with minecraft)

[Dudebro]

I'm still waiting on the update. I hope it's relatively soon.

[warghoul]

I'm still waiting on the update. I hope it's relatively soon.
This. Plus I think I need to buy a new computer first and I'm in no mood for that but perhaps I'll change my mind when everyone starts posting about how awesome the update is.

[CatalystiCam]

I hope this new update is soon, I'm getting in the mood for minecraft again.

[sirchichi]

ill come back if we update for the new snapshots. but for now im applying for sheepcraft with a buddy o mine. hes a noob using my bros account, and i didnt wana make u guys un op him before he came on :P so anyways thats were ill be, and ill check in for updates on the server regualrly ^^

[Dudebro]

So we need to come up with something for our server. Guardian appears to be busy with real life so unless that changes we need an alternative hosting option. I can't host anymore, one of the past updates made it put too much strain on my PC(as far as I can tell). I don't think anyone else currently active is able or willing to host on their PC. So what are our options?

Does anyone know the prices of server hosting on sites like Amazon? I tried looking but I got annoyed with all the amazing things it can supposedly do(I just wanted a damn price.)

[Kugyince]

Amazon would be about $60/mnth to run Minecraft.

Pooling our money would be quite a hassle for the "owner" as well. Trying to collect every month from numerous people splitting it different ways.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

Another option is that we could all join someone else's server and start our own little community in a far off section of the map.

We'd just have to find one with the right mods and playing style that we wanted.

[Dudebro]

Best AND cheapest Minecraft Server Hosting Sevice? - Minecraft Forum (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1070038-best-and-cheapest-minecraft-server-hosting-sevice/)

From there it seems like you can get a reasonably good host for around 7-8 bucks a month US. That's for up to 12 players max, I think we'd need about that. There's another that offers about 57 cents a slot but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for so I doubt it's worth it.

I think we could manage 7-8 bucks a month between the main people who wanna play. 60 a month is out of the question, I know I wouldn't be ok with that.

[Mareeps]

I could try to chip in a few bucks a month.

[Kugyince]

I could try as well but I don't do PayPal.

[Dudebro]

The one I looked at has deals if you subscribe for longer. For six months it would be 42 bucks. I'm not sure if that includes the 10% off though. If someone could check and let us know that'd be great I'm easily confused by these kind of things and I don't wanna bug my wife to look it over.

If we got 5 of us to pitch in that'd be like 8 bucks each, not bad. We could find cheaper but the service might be crappy. I don't know how great this one is either but they seem legit.

Lets all brainstorm here, we need options!

http://daddycheese.com/minecraftus.php

[CatalystiCam]

I'd prefer tens idea. Just join a semi-active server, walk really far from spawn, bring everyone with, and no griefing that way. I've done it before with groups of friends, and I'd do it again. If we payed for a server, I wouldn't be able to chip in so I wouldn't feel right playing on the server.

Also, I can't host. I thought I could, but I'm just way too busy, I need my computer for too many things like watching movies with the family and other gaming and stuff in which I can't have a server running at the same time. Feel a bit guilty about how things turned out with the one I'm running now.

[Dudebro]

I don't mind the idea of joining an existing server. But the problem with that is reliability. If we don't know the host or control the server our stuff could be gone at anytime, with no notice and no way of having it saved for later. We'd have no control over griefing, all at the admin/ops whim. It seems more like a temporary solution to me.

If we paid for a server it would be strictly voluntary. If an RU member didn't pitch in they wouldn't be made to feel bad about it. I think the only difference would be paid members could be OPs if they wanted since they have a real stake in it's success or failure.

If I had more money to toss around I'd just drop the 42 bucks tonight and get it going myself, no strings attached. Since I can't justify doing that atm I'm hoping that a few other people wanna go in on it.

[Kugyince]

I might just drop the money myself but my main issue is that I have no clue how to operate a server in the least.

@Shwk: If I paid for a server and gave you my password to my account do you think you could get it up and running?

[Dudebro]

Which host are you considering? I only listed that one because some guy on the Minecraft forum said it cost a little more because it was good.

I think the hosts mentioned in the MC topic are generally MC related so you'd only have to use the controls as if you had the normal server software installed on your PC, like text commands. I could be wrong though. I just think they might take care of all the complicated stuff on their end.

[Kugyince]

I've been playing on a very small public server. Everybody seems pretty cool but I'm also 10,000 blocks away from everyone else.

I found a small island out in the ocean and dug into a cave/mineshaft/ravine area. Going to make my base inside the cave and destroy the island.

If any of you want to join me I'd welcome the company.
Server is:
184.171.252.240:25583

My coords are:
724/9732

Since its smack in the middle of the ocean let me know ahead of time and I'll place a torch out for you.

[CatalystiCam]

any idea where the server is hosted out of? Or is it dedicated?

[Dudebro]

People still playing on this server? I've been sick for the last week so I haven't had any motivation to play. Just wondering.

[Kugyince]

It's mostly Brawl, DN, and I.

[Dudebro]

You guys still out in the middle of nowhere building under the ocean floor? If so I don't understand how that isn't boring for you guys. Don't you miss the outdoor landscapes?

[Mareeps]

We find stuff to do, such as explore the huge mine, make railways, make automated farms, and we make trips out to spawn to explore.

[DrunkN]

You guys still out in the middle of nowhere building under the ocean floor? If so I don't understand how that isn't boring for you guys. Don't you miss the outdoor landscapes?

I'm actually pretty close to your location, but I've been thinking of making a steroid-express way to get over to the outer sea.

[CatalystiCam]

Okay, I was on yesterday. DN mentioned something about where you guys were living. do explain, because it sounds very interesting. Or pictures of this area you're living in would be cool too! :)

[Mareeps]

I could take screenshots of me and ten's place

[Kugyince]

You guys still out in the middle of nowhere building under the ocean floor? If so I don't understand how that isn't boring for you guys. Don't you miss the outdoor landscapes?

All we have to do is type "/spawn" to teleport to spawn and "/home" when we're done exploring. It even works in the nether.

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

Also I got to experiment with three new things in the last few days.

I made an automated melon farm for the first time. Would also work with pumpkins. I also made an automated reed farm which I've never built before.

Lastly I was experimenting heavily with a system that would detect if a minecart had a passenger or not. If it has a rider it will send a minecart one way, if its empty or has a chest it will send the cart in another direction. Nearly have it.

[Dudebro]

Has there been any griefing yet? Isn't there a way to protect your house and stuff? Just wondering, seems like Tensers Atlantis set up is needlessly far away from spawn.

It'd be cool if you guys could connect yourself to the mainland somehow but I realize that 7k distance doesn't make it that easy or quick. I'd like for us to be all together but I just can't get behind the idea of building underground with no land biome above. I'm glad you guys seem to be enjoying it though. Take pics for sure.

If you guys do wanna build in the direction of land I'm at 724 / 2300(roughly). It's a straight line from 724 either way. I'm gonna build a nether portal and I already found some obsidian right near the surface but I haven't played long enough to get any diamond.

[CatalystiCam]

You probably haven't done much yet, DB. You could just move, but its all up to you.

I'm just building a hedge maze near DN for now.

[Dudebro]

No I haven't done much but I'm at the edge of the mainland in a straight line to Tensers place, I like my spot. Where's DN set up?

[CatalystiCam]

DN's close, and that's all I know on distance because that's all I heard was that you were close to DN. It's flatlands right next to the ocean and a fair bit of trees if you're wondering what it's like.

[DrunkN]

Where's DN set up? .
Immediately East, you really can't miss my place if you just head directly away from your little torch.

[Dudebro]

I'll have to build a road then!

[CrispyChicken]

I didn't know we had a server still...We still using TG's?

[DrunkN]

I'll have to build a road then!
Not sure if complaining, or is pretending to be The Engineer.

[Dudebro]

@Chrisp- The answer is in the posts, you only have to wanna find it.

@DN- Not complaining, I like building roads.

[CrispyChicken]

Oh so we are on that public server.

[Dudebro]

Yeah until we come up with a different option we're letting someone else pay to host the server. You should check it out. The people seem nice and the map is cool.

[CrispyChicken]

I'll probably play some tonight.

[Kugyince]

@DB: Be a man, build an EATS road.

[Dudebro]

That seems like a project for you. What does EATS stand for btw?

[DrunkN]

@DB: Be a man, build an EATS road.
There are faster and simpler methods of boat travel using pistons, to my knowledge.

30 m/s Bullet Train (Boat/Pistons) - Biffa's 3 Minute Tutorials (Minecraft 1.1) - YouTube

[Kugyince]

@DN: That no longer functions in 1.2

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

I will most likely not be returning to this server.

It appears they have added a mod to the server that negates spawner farming. Creating automatic farms is the most enjoyable thing for me in Minecraft. If I can not convince them to get rid of such a mod I'll just up and leave.

I'm irritated by this because when I first logged in I specifically asked if I'm allowed to farm mobs on the server to which an admin said yes.

[CatalystiCam]

I'm fine to switch. I've hardly done anything. I just want to go where the majority is.

[DrunkN]

I just want to go where the majority is.Ditto. Though I don't want to swap too frequently.

[KATZ]

i dont care as long as we can just play minecraft without any problems

[Kugyince]

Fixed it. It had to do with Jeb being a retard and changing how mobs see signs as full blocks.

Hate this update.

[CatalystiCam]

So we are sticking with this server?

[Mareeps]

Did my first level 50 enchant with a diamond pick, and i got Unbreaking III. Also, I found this today while wandering.

http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2012_03/53.png

[Dudebro]

How do you become a respected member?

[Mareeps]

Idk, just be an all-around good guy be and known to not grief.

[Kugyince]

How is your text in blue? All ranks show as white to me. Wonder if its my video settings.

[Mareeps]

I made this today. Our base is coming along great now!

http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2012_03/60.png

[CatalystiCam]

I made the ravine floor look all nice yesterday :) Stone brick looked so much better.

[Kugyince]

I fixed the automatic melon farm, built an automatic cactus farm, and discovered a slime chunk.

[CatalystiCam]

So, I was gone for a few days to the lake, and no internet. So umm... 1.2.4 is out, but the server is down? Has it been down since the update? Also is our world being reset?

[DrunkN]

..So, I was gone for a few days to the lake, and no internet. So umm... 1.2.4 is out, but the server is down? Has it been down since the update? Also is our world being reset? .
The server that we've been playing on has already been reset to 1.2.4 to my knowledge.

I don't know about the Retro Uprising server though.

[Dudebro]

I don't know about the Retro Uprising server though.
What?

[DrunkN]

What?
I'm not sure what has or will continue to happen with the old server that we used to use. I have not used it, nor have I heard of anyone using it recently. To my knowledge, it will not be used again.

[Dudebro]

That's why I said what. At the moment it's in limbo, has been since before the last big update.

[KATZ]

Theguardian isnt host the server anymore so if we want an RU server we have to have someone else do it

[Kugyince]

I think that a lot of the stuff I would want to do with it most of you wouldn't enjoy. An example would be hosting different maps on certain nights. Different gaming nights for people to enjoy.

Creative world once a week.
Ultra Hardcore once a week.
Super Hostile event once every two weeks.
Parkour once every two weeks.
Adventure Map event once every two weeks.
RPG once every two weeks.

And just keep a SMP vanilla-ish running when nothing else is running.

[Mareeps]

All those sound interesting.

[Dudebro]

I wouldn't mind that kind of thing. I just wouldn't log during events I wasn't interested in.

[CatalystiCam]

Would be interesting for sure. I love our setup right now on this public server also by the way. I'd prefer overground, but this is an interesting change.

[Kugyince]

I know this isn't about the server but I wanted to gloat a little.

See those hearts right there? Yep, Hardcore. :curl-lip:

[CatalystiCam]

Nice job ten! Now that time it must have been more challenging for sure being on your own, and in hardcore to boot!

[Kugyince]

The four hard parts were poisonous spiders in the mineshaft while getting watermelon seeds, getting two blaze rods without fire protection, hunting endermen, and finding the portal in the stronghold. The stronghold is really torn apart and a big mess.

I got really lucky three times. I found a skelly dungeon while digging a mine. I spawned right next to a Nether Fortress. And the stronghold was less than a thousand blocks from base camp.

I'll upload my save if anyone wants to laugh at my dirt hovel I lived in for two weeks.

[CatalystiCam]

Was on the server tonight, but no one else was to tell me where to go to get to DN's. Now that we have that tunnel, we could lure sheep through there and start a wool farm. It would be a long walk, but we could always lock the sheep in a wall, part-way there, and continue off next time we play.

[DrunkN]

Was on the server tonight, but no one else was to tell me where to go to get to DN's.
Nobody knows... No one shall ever know...

Anyways, is it possible to get mobs on to a mine cart? We would only need 94 stacks of track to make it across.

[CatalystiCam]

only 94? haha. That actually might be possible, even though that sounds like a lot. Yes though, last I remember mobs get caught in mine carts. Good thinking.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

So I lured 3 sheep back to base through DN's Tunnel. TOOK FOREVER! Anyways, need a spot to start a sheep/wool farm. Any ideas, let me know. I tried one spot, but it busted into a manmade cave right away so that's a no-go. Need lots of space.

[Mareeps]

Cam, I got a mine area under the mineshaft that you can use. Thing is, your gonna need some grass blocks. There are a few in storage, though, about 8 or so.

[CatalystiCam]

all I need is 1, and the grass will spread. I'll prep an area later tonight.

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

K, got the area going, but no one was on, so I just decided on a spot. It's between my house entrance, and Dizzy's. Wondering if we should eventually have separate coops going for all different coloured sheep.

[CrispyChicken]

Are we still playing at that same server or did we switch to something else?

[CatalystiCam]

which one? The public one? I don't think anyone's been playing on any server lately really.

[CrispyChicken]

The public one. I haven't played since Guardian disappeared.

[CatalystiCam]

Yes, we are still there, but I don't see anyone when I go on, and I kind of want to live overground in mountains again. It happens.

[Dudebro]

I wasn't sure where to post this so I figured here is as good as anywhere else!

[CatalystiCam]

May as well use this thread again.

Either can't seem to hold a connection today, or there's a weird prank involving me getting kicked every time I join, so I'm not going to be playing for a bit, maybe the rest of the day. Got some other things I want to play, and the internet was being really weird, at least I'm going to assume it's the internet. Never had this issue though.

Got weird lighting glitches discouraging me with upside down corner stairs making the 8th of the block that's open dark with lighting, any tips for that would be great! Thanks :)

[Kugyince]

The server has been steady for me all day. It must be your connection.

If you post a picture of the hallway and lighting glitch it'll be easier for us to suggest a fix.

[CatalystiCam]

Ok, and Yeah, I will.
