Got no interest in playing MC at all.

A small warning.

 

Teh Mine Server will be down at some point for probably a few days in the next couple of weeks whilst I move and get internet setup at the new place.

 

Not sure how long internet housemoves and migrations take these days.

It's clearly cheating because it takes one axe chop to collect a whole tree!

Trees do not (and should not) explode into items when removing their base.
If it made tree logs act like sand/gravel and you still needed to chop each piece it'd only be slightly cheating.


And to call it the "only mod you approve" is just stupid, because there are plenty of mods that change gameplay without making it easier.
And indeed mods that make it significantly harder, which have the potential to make the game even more interesting.

Loser. :P

How do you feel about patches? They can enhance/add to gameplay and aren't necessarily written by the original author.

I generally agree, especially with the author intent thing, but I think it's fine to enjoy mods as long you don't try to make them replace the core game. I've been playing with the Technic pack and it feels very different. It's just nice to do something new when I'm a bit bored, but I still jump back onto my vanilla games when I feel like it.

 

Ultra hardcore is interesting though, I don't even really think of it as a mod although it technically is, obviously. If you haven't checked the videos yet, what it does is stop your health from replenishing automatically. The only way to heal is either a golden apple (which now requires gold ingots instead of nuggets) or health potions (which uses a glistering melon, which now requires a gold block instead of a gold nugget). They did two series of it where they attempt to kill the Ender Dragon, then 5+ series where they had 8+ people doing free-for-all or team PvP, Battle Royale style. It's really interesting how you have to play so much differently in those situations, and a lot of the people who do it are very entertaining as well (they're all YouTube users so they all upload the footage of them playing).

Oh yeah I've got nothing against other people using mods. I love that they exist and that people can do that. It's just a personal thing.

Ultra hardcore does sound kinda appealing.

It'd also be nice to do that thing where we pass around a save file. i.e. play a world until we die and then pass that world on to the next person. I'd like to do that here.

When do you think Teh Server will be updated? I have a few building plans I'd like to get started on soonish, and I might even venture onto 2012 for some of them.

In an announcement of an update to Java for OS X, this made me laugh...

If everyone is happy for it to be done now I can do it today.

There's a 1.3.2 patch pre-release out today, I'd say go with that. I'm not sure if the pre-releases are compatible with the final release or not, but if they are you could update to it right now. (nod)

Looks like 1.3.2 is properly out now. Updatey? :)

1.3.2 of Craftbukkit doesn't seem to be out yet.

Phooey!

Since 1.3.2 works with it I'll get it upgraded tomorrow.

Pwetty pwease? :>

 

We're playing on Teh 2012 right now in 1.2.5 (if anyone wants to join). I've just got my enchanting table but ideally I'd like to wait to use the 1.3 enchanting system since it's much easier.

Oh yeah :-$

 

I'll try and get it done this weekend. I really will.

Anyone else still playing on Teh 2012? Anyone ever played on it other than BP and JonCooper (I think)?

I've been on a bit, Jake was for a while, BP, uh one of the girls I think ... dunno from there
