Official BG Minecraft Server Thread

[Atreides]

edit: whoops wrong thread

I am kinda nervous to see how it handles portals on an MP server. Since so many people have their bases in the same chunk, you could have some problems with everyone's portal leading to the same terminus until people start building a bit more. Also the Nether is fucking annoying if you can't turn mobs off, I am not looking forward to farming glowstone (which is way too rare even for SP, it's gonna be rough getting enough for everyone who wants some)

[Psion]

Glowstone never seemed hard to find for me, just dig down till you reach the lava ocean and look at the ceiling of it, clusters of glowstone all over the place.

Of course, if you can't fly...

I think a chunk is only 16 by 16 though, right? I don't think portals will be too big an issue unless people build RIGHT next to each other with portals, and since the nether goes on for who knows how long supply issues shouldn't be a big issue either. Although it would be nice if Ragns put in a nether area or modified it to have lots of glowstone and soulsand and stuff. Oh wait, wouldn't lots of soulsand make the nether harder? XD

[Atreides]

Yea, soulsand is pretty much worthless

[Pyro]

Soul sand can be used to make a trap that is completely inescapable.

[Ragns]

Back to vanilla till mods get fixed.

[Atreides]

ok so maybe I'm doing something wrong, but is there a way to bet trapdoors to be flush with the top side of a brick? all of mine seem to be placed on the bottom part, no matter which side you face... I guess that's necessary for ladders but yeah, wtf

Also has anyone messed around with Mushroom farms yet? I hear that tall grass/shrubs/dead shrubs don't grow in existing biomes either, or at least that's the rumor, which is a bummer

[Talragan]

whats recipe for trapdoors?

[Atreides]

Same as a door but flipped sideways, just 2 rows of 3 planks. You get 2 trapdoors from it.

I guess you could do something neat like a bunch of them in a straight line hooked up to redstone to make a drawbridge, but you'd have to do it next to a wall in order to place them.

I'm leaving my single player world idle today to see how fast shrooms spread, and to see if grass will grow, but I'm kinda meh at this update overall

[Moosey]

Zombe's mod pack still works, just replace the files you put into minecraft.jar.

[Atreides]

Ok so mushrooms grow reaaaaaaaaally slow, in the 2 hours it took me to go the gym both of the test mushrooms I planted grew into 1 more each. The pattern was random, so I'm thinking you could probably build a mushroom farm but you'd have to do something like
1 space 1 space 1 space
empty row
1 space 1 space 1 space

And just make it a huge dark room full of mushrooms to maximize how many grow.

And from what i can tell grass/shrubs don't grow in existing biomes. Really hope he changes that...

[miokomioko]

This game needs new weapons/tools/items and mobs so badly it makes me sad. I wonder when he's going to finally get out of this bug making/fixing rut and go full-bore content. Something besides foliage variation...

[Jinn]

1st to colonize hell :D


suckerrsss

[Timwakefield]

Borked update blows. I die, drop my shit, pick it back up, and it all disappears after one use. Knowing how often I die, I'm staying away from the game until that gets fixed. Little ridic.

[Chrian]

currently made a nice looking sandstone netherrack base at psions portal

[Cayos]

If I right click with any of my tools they disappear

[Psion]

BG server stopped working. Someone light the Ragns signal!

BTW ragns, is it possible for the server to do zombe modpack other than flying mods? I was thinking it would be cool if we used the critter spawn size variety one, cause baby zombies and giant pigs are cute.

::edit:: guess it resolved itself finally, was able to log on again::

::edit2:: Ok, after a while i got it crashing again, I think server needs a reset. >_>;

[Chrian]

lol shiit I wanted to map my base and it my background :X

[Jinn]

I assume the servers fine, it's notches broke ass updates that ruin the world

[Asai]

There are a LOT of new BAD bugs. Random server crashes, server/client CPU overload. It's impressive what he fixed, more impressive what is now screwed up!

[Chrian]

he'll figure it out I mean it is his game they have the source and if they use the // comment here in the code they "should" be able to find bugs but thats a big should.
