Official BG Minecraft Server Thread

I had a seed like that during my single player mode. I spawned on one of two small islands surrounded by a large body of water. One tree. I started to dig down and fell into a massive underground ravine, died, and stopped playing.

Also I think the server is down, again.

[Hank]

I believe so.

Seems orbs are crashing servers.

I linked ragns to this, he will probably say something snappy but code it in later.

Zombe's modpack updated to 1.8.1 for those that haven't gotten it.

[Mots]

You can't handle my MSPAINT skills!

[Helm]

I'm surprised that not one of the buildings has a creeper face.

Also I figured out why the new biomes bother me-they are entirely too crisp. If you've seen one jungle/desert/swamp you've probably seen them all.

[miokomioko]

It seems incredibly simple to do, but biomes should have an ambient sound file and a fog/haze/color effect when you're in them. Easy immersion.

Swamp: dark green fog + frog noises
Plains: no haze + wind noise
Desert: yellow/orange haze + hawk noise?

etc.

Too much work for notch, and Jeb is too busy picking up his slack.

[Qeomash]

Extreme mountains could have goat sounds and yodeling.

[Mots]

Server is back up. Party time.

[miokomioko]

Not sure I can even touch this game until the official release of this update... I just spent a few days on a new world with a massive ravine that I had been fixing up. Then, while I was running around, mapping out the immediate area around my home, I got creeper'd and killed (shouldn't have actually killed me)... then the game went to like 1 FPS. Any time I reload that world, I can't move without the game falling back down to 1~2 FPS.

I noticed a bug where items that drop out of a crafting table when you exit it, are doubled... but half of them are fake. But if you stand over them and craft again, you will keep picking them up as you pull it out of your inventory, essentially duping shit. I have a feeling that anything you drop when you die is duplicated as well. Might be the root of why my world came to a screeching halt.

[Pikarya]

1-2 fps problem is due to the blocks generating above and underground. Happens to me every once in awhile (especially online).

EXP orbs are the main cause for servers/clients crashing right now. Don't understand why they bothered to rush and put only half ass of the system in place when it won't be complete till 1.9.

I started a new server with my bro, i found this Vast Lake (like HUGE) that lead into a Swamp... Well, In the Swamp, I found a Ravine in the water

And in that Ravine was also a Abandoned Mineshaft:

Inside so far I've found a bunch of Iron, a treasure chest with 2 Diamonds... 8 Diamonds in the deep end of the Mineshaft. No Poison spiders yet though

[Mots]

There you go Jinn.

[Jinn]

Buildings in my town are coming along quite nicely :D

edit: Damn whos that styling cat with dat gold boots in the back there?

[miokomioko]

No Poison spiders yet though

Holy nuts, I can't walk 10 feet in a mine without running into a Poison Spider spawner.

[Karbuncle]

There you go Jinn.

What pack is that?
