I was trying to get the pig suicide achievement and had trapped a pig on the side of a cliff with no where else to go. I sat on him for probably 5 mins before I gave up. The stupid thing just didn't want to kill itself.

I think you can punch the back of his head while riding him when he's facing off the cliff and it should bounce him off... I did it a long time ago, before the achievement, though I know a number of things have changed since then, including bare-hand melee damage.

So you have to donkey punch the pig to get it to take the leap?

[miokomioko]

Exactly, haha~

[Chrian]

haven't been on server in a week or so anything fun build within that week

[Ragns]

Mods are back!

Mods are back!

and /spawn leads to your falling death, haha.

[Chrian]

lol /spawn should put spawn in the middle spawn at 0,1,0 !

[Ragns]

Minecart and spawn should work better now.

[miokomioko]

About to get a video of working pistons any minute now~

This is going to be awesome. WTF @ the secret door.

[miokomioko]

That is rad. The things possible with redstone just multiplied a hundredfold.

[Atreides]

i really don't want to have to learn how to use redstone lol, but that secret door is just too cool.

and I really want a retractable lava bridge

edit: and yeah, being able to control the flow of water is really huge too. Makes water harvesting a lot easier. I guess you could use a shit-ton of pistons to scrape off the top layer of dirt tiles and push mushrooms into water currents now to make an automatic farm, huh?

[miokomioko]

Once they implement a tripwire or laser trip trigger, the possibilities of traps will get insane. But yeah, I am definitely not versed in logic gates, and this is making me want to be, as daunting as it is.

I'm mostly looking forward to the "adventure update" since he said he's trying to make exploring become rewarding and combat less pointless/dull. I sure hope he stole some item/weapon/accessory/armor/etc. tips from Terraria. Minecraft is in dire need of new monsters and overall encounters.

I learned how to use redstone last week when I made a long path to a door, and then a combination lock door.

For the combo lock all you need to know how to use is repeaters, AND gates, and inverters. I think it's a good learning project.

Was anyone affected by this?

Update 2: League of Legends is the latest target. Its login servers are currently down, with its website also apparently suffering.

Update 1: Notch has told us that “Looks like we’re back up.. I just hope it lasts!”

Following yesterday’s Bethesda incursion, and earlier attacks on the likes of Sony and Nintendo, hacker collective Lulzsec have targeted further games and gaming services today. Over the last couple of hours, they’ve taken out first Eve Online and then Minecraft’s login servers, as well as knocking out gaming site The Escapist.

This seems to have stemmed from Lulzsec’s open call for target suggestions on Twitter earlier today, which itself followed their takedown of The Escapist in response to negative comments threads about them there.

Both games are offline for the time being (edit- Minecraft appears to be working again for now). Minecraft’s site is still up as I write, but Eve’s is not. CCP have confirmed that “EVE Online and related services are currently offline, to return ASAP after investigation of some issues.” The prevailing sentiment has it that these are DDoS attacks, which may mean the games can come back online relatively soon.

Lulzsec are referring to this on Twitter as ‘TitanticTakeoverTuesday‘ and claim they’re still going through requests – so one can only presume this is not over yet.

I think it was only down for a little bit in the afternoon. It also just done for about 20 mins, but it's back up now.

[Chrian]

I wanna make a secret door .
you can make like test chambers :O and moving floors

Does the Bukkit server mod fix redstone circuits? On my server I'm not able to create redstone AND gates. They are just plain broken, no matter how many times i restart the server.
