If you wind up stuck in ghost mode, you may want to try running another instance of minecraft, connecting to the server, and disconnecting the ghost iteration first. If this still happens, the second iteration will overwrite.

Speaking of which, steer clear of the northern repository.

The way to fix the importal bug is to remove all of your armor from your equipped slots, and log out, log back in. You should die immediately, restoring your ability to grab stuff

I would highly advise against using bows/arrows for the time being.

1. If you shoot at a mob, it will just bounce off.
2. If you go to pick up an arrow, the arrow will not despawn. So you will have a ton of ammunition.

Added automap support on the server.

I like this addition, it may help us all reach our destinations that much quicker =D

It is nice. Though, panning doesn't work for me. It just shows gray background even if I had previously had that part of the map displayed a moment ago. My solution was just to zoom out for a larger view and forget panning, but since panning is supposed to be a feature, it'd be nice to know how to get it to work right. Anyone else have that issue?

Well spawn-proofed my castle, and was pleasantly surprised with how little damage there was. It looks like someone divided up my castle to keep monsters from roaming all over, whoever did that - thanks

Anyone know a good means of farming trees while minimizing the amount of leaves possible? I need a shitload of wood and am probably going to build myself a little forest for harvesting next to my house, but I'd prefer not to have to resort to fire to clear leaves incase it gets out of control and rapes the server CPU.

Also, anyone know a good 'mob-killer' design that I could put around my house that isn't an eye-sore?

Build a glass roof 6 above the ground and plant under that. You should get the 5 blocks of wood without the leaves above that.

Requesting server reboot in hopes to make the 20second lag spikes disappear :/?

Server just crash >.>?

Done. That fucking memory leak is annoying, have to reboot the server every 2 days.

And still no signs of Notch fixing it.

[Jinn]

Much Thanks!

Server needs to be updated I think. They released and update and now it won't let me onto the server. Says outdated Client. Read Minecraft's forums, and it says it's likely the server or host hasn't updated yet.

Update went live about an hour ago I believe.

[Ragns]

Server updated, now being able to kill stuff with arrows is much nicer.

Best news I've ever heard, everything went better then expected \:D/

At least your castle is safe. There was a zombie siege on your north gate in the middle of the night, but a few arrows from the battlements sent them away. Just wish you could use levers to raise and lower blocks, for fully operating gates.

For makeshift one-time-use gates, create stacks of sand above and of the same height as your entrance, resting them on something easily destroyed like glass with a small pathway around the glass. Then, when there's an emergency, break glass, sand falls, and yerrrrrrrr... safe!

New update came out, supposedly fixes the memory leak in the server client. Seems like Notch is going to move the game into beta in a month at the rate he's cleaning up stuff.
