Minecraft Beta 1.3

* Implemented a new lighting engine with the help of MrMessiahs (can be turned off)
* Changed the options around, added a new “Graphics options” button
* Added beds. If all players in a map sleeps in a bed during night, the game immediately skips until morning
* Added three new half-size blocks
* Added Delay/Repeater redstone dust blocks
* Added whitelisting to the server. To use, enter “whitelist <cmd>” where cmd is “on”, “off”, “add <player>”, “remove <player>”, “list” or “reload”
* New save file format, old maps need to be converted (that might take a while..)
* It’s now possible to have more than five save slots, and to rename saves
* Scrollbars in both the texture pack list, and in the map selection screen
* Replaced the Mojang splash image to reflect the new logo colors
* .. and a bunch of bug fixes and tweaks!

I finally found your walled city, The Business. It's still mostly intact, although a few places show signs of vandalism. That colosseum is awesome, by the way.

I was checking out Notch's development blog and the latest post mentioned that he's working on Achievements.

I've been playing more of this stupid fucking game than anything else this year so far. It is just so goddam mindless. $:-\$

Tehjaybo joined the madoshi.net server.

Yeah, and had a tunnel cave in on me. lol

So far I've made some rinky-dink little mining area where I'm stashing my stuff, and I just started laying walls for a base. It's not gonna be anything fancy, but it'll be functional, I think.

GilloD · « **Reply #190 on:** March 28, 2011, 08:12:15 AM »

You guys should check out Visit.aporkalypse.com

It's the Metafilter server. You'll have to jump a hoop to get authorized (Post on Mefightclub.com), it;s one the biggest and best servers around

tehjaybo and I are tearing it up. We've got a huge underground city under construction, far from the prying eyes of other players. It's rad.

Oh baby. Maybe they'll keep the slimes at bay.

EDIT: Oh god, our server isn't updated so I can't join. WHAT NO HELP.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #197 on:** April 02, 2011, 04:33:20 PM »

Made a critter killer. Took be about 6 or 7 hours to complete, but so far worth it. Showed one of the server regulars the beginning of our underground city and he said it was bigger than his base that he shared with five people. I think we win.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #200 on:** April 03, 2011, 06:35:25 AM »

What do you mean you couldn't figure it out? You just essentially build stuff and mine stuff. That's about all there is to it.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #201 on:** April 06, 2011, 04:20:51 PM »

So far our underground city consists of:
A critter killer
An automatic egg farm *NEW!*
A couple of nice houses
A furnished apartment building
A temple
A sugar cane farm
A park area

Come join us, Bore Bros. You're welcome to take up residence in the apartments and help us build some cool city crap.

GR showed me you guys' secret underground lair, it looked pretty sweet. I may have to get on there some afternoon.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #204 on:** April 09, 2011, 10:45:45 PM »

Yeah, it's looking like it's down at the moment. There are other people asking on the Madoshi forums...

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #205 on:** April 10, 2011, 01:50:07 AM »

We got hit hard, tehjaybo. It's really bad.

-Several buildings gutted.
-Store room was vaporized.
-Water everywhere.
-Mob farm seriously compromised.
-Lava flowing down the front steps.
-Forest chopped down.

I'm currently trying to make some quick repairs.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #206 on:** April 10, 2011, 03:50:47 AM »

Welp, looks like that killed that cool thing.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #207 on:** April 14, 2011, 02:42:24 PM »

Yesboks and gankfest are basically destroying this server. They built a massive floating platform all the way around the protected spawn area and at the maximum height and now they're building a ring of lava all the way around the whole thing. The amount raw materials alone is enough to make me suspect heavy use of hacks, to say nothing of all the lava. Also, you can place block to push back the lava because it's falling inside the protected zone, effectively sealing anyone inside the spawn area with a home base to TP to.

Edit: yesboks, gankfest, and lerva are now permanently banned.

GilloD · « **Reply #208 on:** April 14, 2011, 06:34:30 PM »

You guys should play on Aporkalypse. Not only is it one of the largest MC servers in existence, it also has like 0 greifing.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #209 on:** April 15, 2011, 05:32:45 AM »

I've moved over to the server that was just put up by the same people that run the private WoW server that I was staff on. There's no pvp, and griefing is strictly ruled against. It's a nice place.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #210 on:** April 15, 2011, 10:14:01 AM »

What's it called? I'll jump over there and check it out.

huckleberry · « **Reply #211 on:** April 15, 2011, 10:19:31 AM »

Have you guys used Minutor?

Don't know if you can use it on a mp server, but for single player it is awesome for mapping.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #212 on:** April 15, 2011, 12:18:35 PM »

It's called Magic Minecraft

Server: mcmagic.magic-wow.com

I've got an item shop at spawn.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #213 on:** April 15, 2011, 02:53:03 PM »

Also, a quick notice, we're about to start our live feed of the staff of this server and some regulars doing the 404 Challenge. You're all welcome to tune in!

What's going on the mcmagic server? I've been trying to get on for the past couple of days with no luck.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #215 on:** April 21, 2011, 10:28:44 PM »

It's running an older version until Bukkit is updated.

http://magic-wow.com/board/index.php?/topic/38835-dont-update-to-15-yet/

If you update you wont be able to connect to our server as we are waiting for bukkit to release the 1.5 compatible server files, they are holding back untill notch releases a stable patch sine 1.5 had some nasty bugs.

Notch has released a 1.5_01 update but bukkit are still holding off.

Follow the details of bukkit here: http://bukkit.org/

And updates from notch here: http://twitter.com/#!/notch

I will be keeping the server 1.4 untill bukkit updates or nothing will work, should only be a few days at the most depending on notch and bukkit tho.

If you did update download this and set it to 1.4_01

Also, if anyone else would like to join us, let me know. Due to griefing, whitelisting was set up. It wont take long to get you on (if you feel like signing up on their forums you can apply yourself, or just ask and I can do it for you).

Sorry, I don't pop over to the gaming side much.

I still play from time to time, but like GR said, there's rarely anyone on for some reason.

I made a redstone tutorial area out in the middle of nowhere though, I really like it. It's a work in progress, but I know it won't get griefed to shit and back on a pve server.

Bumpity bump.

1.7 is live, and there's a glitch with the pistons where it can make infinite copies of a block. I've exploited it until my heart's content. I now have a chest full of diamond blocks. It'll remove some of the challenge of the game, but my favorite part is really exploring with my friends anyway, so I'm completely cool with it.

Also, I'm working on a wheat farm powered by pistons. Not sure how tall I'm gonna make it yet, but it's gonna be sweeeet. 63 plants per floor.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #224 on:** July 06, 2011, 03:39:01 AM »

If I find something to do, I can stay on for hours. My wheat farm is 7 stories tall, and has a pretty neat water piston system going for it. Full capacity yield for it is 441 wheat and 500+ seeds. Considering making a video for it, but it's pretty plain, and I know I'm not the first to do it, so I may not.

From the Wiki:

Quote

One of the new aspects of the game added in the Adventure Update is the Food Bar, which governs several aspects of gameplay. Eating food, instead of directly restoring the player's Health, now fills up the Food Bar, which is constantly draining very, very slowly.

If the Food Bar is 90%-100% full you will slowly regenerate health, but if you let it drain all the way to 0%, you will constantly lose half a heart instead, as you are starving to death. On Easy difficulty, the player's health would stop dropping at 5 hearts, Normal stops at 1/2 a heart, and on Hard it will keep draining until you die.

Contrary to popular belief, having a full Food Bar does not keep your health bar from completely depleting.

While the player is sprinting, the Food Bar will deplete faster than when not sprinting and will be unable to sprint at all once the bar falls to 30% or less.

This game mechanic would allow food to be stacked, increasing the amount of food one can carry in their inventory at a time. It has been hinted that this will be added when Hardcore mode is added. Despite that fact, some community modders have already created Single Player mods and Multiplayer mods, both of which incorporate the hunger mechanic.

The Food Bar does not drain when playing on Peaceful mode, but its effects on your character's health bar remain.

When you eat Rotten Flesh, your Food Bar gets poisoned and depletes faster. There is also a small chance of your food bar poisoning every time you eat Raw Chicken.

Also, cows drop meat now, quite a bit actually, and it's all stackable.

I haven't played this in aaaages. Should dip in and see what's new.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #231 on:** November 27, 2011, 11:49:00 PM »

Friend of me has a server that's up at the moment, open if anyone would like to check out 1.0

Server is hackomatic.com, just join up and there should be a sign at spawn pointing the way to the city.

So far, nothing is really explored yet. There aren't a lot of people, so if you guys wanna make Boreville somewhere, that would be pretty awesome. I've been popping on most nights, starting up a little underground base like usual. Having a lot of fun so far with 1.0. Haven't had a chance to check out Enchanting or Alchemy yet, but I plan to soon.

Side note, mobs are turned off for now.
