Minecraft

We settled our base entrance at the bottom of an "ocean" (pretty neat, you have to swim-stand at some given location and let you sink like a rock). Unfortunately, most of the first trap is located under land (only works well during day). The second trap has been carefully placed under water. In my experience, monsters can spawn in the last section of my trap (between blocks #71 and #80). Actually, I think monster can spawn around a player up to 144 blocks away from him.

 

I built a 25*50 trap under a well explored area. Turned out to be griefed the following day since wallhackers tend to roam explored areas looking for hidden chest. And i don't think constructing a second trap far from the first one would increase productivity. Servers typically have a 200 mobs limit, and i did notice my trap worked better when there were less players. It could work if there are less then(!) 200 mobs on the server. Currently, the sun is shining and it seems there are around 140 mobs. :(

Woah, sounds like a big hassle to play there. I can see why you want to terrorize it, lol. Mines on the watmm server so I'm not worried about other players messing it up.

We'll add Nether support to SMP in 1.6. I have no idea when 1.6 is getting released, so you might as well get used to 1.5 for a while. ;)

Another reason for me wanting to delay 1.6 a bit instead of pushing the nether stuff up until 1.7 is that the map data at the moment isn't future proof, meaning if we ever want to change how it's saved in the future, all old maps would probably break. We don't want that!

That didn't quite fit into a tweet, though.

haha my railway is useless as soon as we get portals.

it's not useless, just 800% less efficient

thanks, I feel better now. Portals will be sweet, Glowstone is welcome too.

Recently, I've been playing on a SMP server with a buddy of mine.

We're planning to make terrorist attacks here and there. Eventually, we'll try to crash the server via too-many-tnt-blocks.

 

 

well now we know who rigged kaini's house with tnt.

someone burnt down the rebuilt version of the sea house Gordo.

The history of that house

 

-Gordo builds awesome seahouse

 

-I somehow manage to set it on fire .Honestly a mistake I swear, though looks massively like I did it on purpose, understandable.

 

- I feel bad and try to rebuild it

 

- In the process of rebuilding it, it sets on fire from lava

 

- I rebuild it again

 

- mysteriously sets on fire again much later.

 

head fuck.

I said SMP server, which is a pleonasm. I actually meant PVP.

 

i'm not on the white list I think. Back when the server hadn't a whitelist, I stole a bow and some arrows from a chest, destroyed a few blocks here and there in pennywise's house then harassed him.

@pennywise

 

i experienced spontaneous combustion on several occasion since i'm playing with 1.5 (skipped 1.4). I don't really know if it's a bug/feature (i was close to lava) or a consequence of some serious server-side lag.

it's a bug - basically, lava can jump one block extra to the north-east. it's basically part of the same 'orientation' bug that several boosters employ in a different manner

babar is a trouble maker

wait wasnt that sea-house Mobugs? and isn't Mobugs THTONE ?

 

geez I get so confused.

lol mobugs ain't tht tne

 

anyone tried this yet?

Yet you kept making it out of wood?

yeh it looked dapper in wood. Also, I didnt think it would burn again. I've pretty much given up building structures in wood now, I just use it to decorate. Dont talk about using wood half blocks because that bug will be fixed someday

finished the maximus mischief mischief pak.

 

this page will tell you how to install the pack:

and HERE is the texture pack:
