I put an emergency shelter next to spawn - it's very basic, but has a couple of doors to make it easier to avoid mobs.

So yeah, if you start at night just head for a bed. :)

(And if anyone wants to make it a bit prettier or more robust, go ahead - I used wood simply because I forgot to bring anything else with me.)


I've also marked out the corners of the restricted area. It's kinda odd in that I could actually dig dirt blocks, but couldn't replace them.

Also, I placed one water source, but then couldn't place any more (nor remove the original one again)

I tried that. I used the bed in your house but it did the same thing that it does on Teh main server world and just sits you in it and brings up the chat log until you get out.

Um, only for a few seconds, and then dawn arrives and you automatically exit.

(Unless there are other people online; everyone needs to sleep for it to skip ahead.)

Pretty sure it worked fine on the old map too, but it's so long since I tried on that (what with being able to do /time day instead there) that I don't remember for sure.

I was the only person online at the time, and I've tried sleeping in the main world and never noticed it skipping to daytime. :-/

There's no reason the server should let me sleep but not you? :/ Maybe you should backup and reinstall your client?

Has he tried turning it off and on again?

There's a reason it's a cliché. :P

Because everyone does it?

Because computers have state, but most programmers don't really understand this and only deal with what they want to happen, which often results in things getting into a state that is only solvable by discarding and starting again.

So then why wouldn't just closing the program fix it?

Why doesn't blinking stop you from being tired?

Because sometimes I have to poop?

Server was playing up earlier and being very laggy/inconsistent, and now it seems down altogether.

Dynamic map is online though, so it might just be Minecraft itself needs a kick.

(just letting you know - no plans to use it again tonight, so no worries if you're busy with other things)

I had rebooted my router due to a few other things not working right so you could've just tried right when it was offline.

 

But I've just rebooted the Minecraft computer, it was probably due a reboot.

I don't remember for sure, but I think I got the offline thing twice, about ten minutes apart.

 

Anyway, just gave it a quick try now and it appears to be working fine, but I have stuff to do so can't play. :(

Random thought: In the inventory/chests, it should be possible to hold down a number from 1-9 when clicking to pick up something and just take that many things.

Someone go make Mojang implement that.

Seems like Mojang are starting to get their shit together...

That's all stuff they should have been doing from at least as soon as "Mojang" existed, if not before.

Oh, and they've pre-released 1.2.5, which is almost entirely fixes, and also pre-announced the actual release date (Wednesday 4th April).

Also, looks like the Bukkit "recommended build" for 1.2.4 was released Wednesday just gone, so that's a total six day turnaround.

Just wondering, there's a bunch of dirt in the boxes near the spawn (presumably dug out for the rocket), does anyone need it, or could I take it for a dirt-heavy project I'm working on?

I didn't dig it, but I see no problem with grabbing as much dirt as you need. I think the digger (Chris?) abandoned his hole...

Take as much as you want.
