I've forced myself to stop playing for a few minutes in order to send this message:

It amazes me how huge these maps are. I spent ten hours digging out a mine, and FINALLY reached the bottom of the map. Ten fucking hours.

I started playing this at the beginning of the week. Despite lacking an actual structure I keep messing around in there.
I only wish my imagination matched what I could pull off in game.

It's the ultimate sandbox. It took me a while to grasp the basics, but once I did I really took off with it.
My goal right now is to recreate MxO's Mara Central to scale. I'm sure I can do most of it from memory.

I jacked the rebel pilot one from minecraftskins. It's awesome.
Also, this server rules. More people are welcome. I'm upgrading the server to a 3rd party mod that allows more customizations. MOTD and /sethome and /home being the ones I enjoy most. Meaning, you can rebind your spawn point anywhere you want. OH SNAP.

Title: Re: Minecraft

I can assure you it won't be system specs. UK broadband falls behind most first world countries in my opinion. And the situation only gets worse the further you are from a city or town.

News and updates about the minecraft server can be found here: http://blog.omeganerd.com/ Feel free to contribute screenshots and I'll make sure they get published. You can submit through the site and I get a notification to publish it.
Also, I'm changing the DNS for the server to minecraft.omeganerd.com instead of LCSRV.com they both work but update if you wish.

Post by: Manic Velocity on December 11, 2010, 06:09:27 pm
Minecraft will be going into Beta on December 20th!
Seriously, if you ever considered buying this game but have hesitated for whatever reason, your chance to get in on the ground floor is soon coming to a close.
Anyone who buys the game now, while in Alpha, will receive all future game updates for free! THIS WILL NOT BE THE CASE AFTER DECEMBER 20TH! Beta players will receive free game updates up until release. No official word yet on how the pricing structure will work after that.
It's roughly $14 USD right now, and multiplayer is INSANELY fun. I know FA could have some great times on our own server.

Ok, I bought an account and logged into likwidtek's server. It was empty. Killed a chicken and got a shovel out of it. Killed a sheep and a cow as well. That's about it so far.
Title: Minecraft
Post by: Ragnarok on December 12, 2010, 01:57:07 am
First you got a feather from the chicken not a shovel, unless the game was glitched. Second how was it empty? Was it just that no one is on, or are you just not finding any houses? If you were talking about houses you should have spawned right next to likwidteks.

Post by: Tbone on December 12, 2010, 11:43:12 am
There were no people. I saw towers and sky bridges. I dunno what it was I got, but I was able to dig with it, so....
Title: Minecraft
Post by: JazzyC on December 12, 2010, 11:50:28 am
You can dig with your bare hands, or any item. Just, using the correct tool is vital for speeding up the time, and gaining blocks.

Haha, so I logged in and found likwidtek's house and it looked like he was in it. I opened the door and there was a spider! I slammed the door back and watched the spider murder likwidtek. Then I snuck in and took his phat loot. Now I have a sword!
Title: Re: Minecraft

I'll be opening up my server tonight, after I remove some unsightly constructions that my friend built. It's a "creative" server where you can build anything you want without fear of mobs. Spawn infinite blocks into your inventory and go nuts. Certain items like TNT and bedrock can only be spawned by admins.
It's just being run off my home machine, so expect a little lag if you bother connecting.

Server is moved. minecraft.omeganerd.com still works but DNS might take some time to update. For now the new server location is at mc.omeganerd.com. I'll leave both of them pointed at the new location. Please log in, test and let me know what you think and if you feel a difference.

Likwid's server is a standard ruleset. Animals and monster mobs.
My server is a "creative" ruleset. No mobs at all, item spawning commands, with constant daylight so people can build whatever they want.

I've never had that error, but I used to get text files filled with error logs popping up on my desktop whenever I played Minecraft.
After browsing the MC forums for a solution, I uninstalled/re-installed Java and that seems to have solved the problem. Might be worth a try for your issue.

Title: Re: Minecraft
Post by: Saint on December 16, 2010, 08:40:59 pm
what the hell? are you serious? lol Id love to know what they are talking about. I logged in for the first time today to check out your server. I ran across the the water to a guys place named jestyr and talked with him for awhile, he game me some pointers and then I set out to find a unpopulated area.. I finally found a place that seemed empty and started to build a hidy hole to survive the night. I ended up getting killed in the morning when I came out... the rest of the time I spent trying to get back to where I was because I forgot to bind myself. I find it laughable that someone would think i would steal anything or do anything Especially considering Im on a fellow furious angels server. I have higher standards than that to be sure. I was about to come on to these forums to ask you what happened. I was afk for along time and when I came back it said I was banned... someone is lying and it isnt me you can be sure of that.

1 person said you stole a bucket of lava from their chest. 1 other person said you took that same bucket of lava, dug a hole in the roof, and filled the house with lava killing them. Twice.
You were the only person other than the two victims who was on the server. Do you have any idea what happened?
Title: Re: Minecraft
Post by: Saint on December 16, 2010, 09:03:31 pm

Title: Re: Minecraft

I'll unban you. Please make sure that if you are AFK no one else in your house is messing with you and if you did do anything please don't do it again.
Title: Re: Minecraft
Post by: Saint on December 16, 2010, 09:35:35 pm

LOL. I like how even griefing is creative in Minecraft.
I haven't seen Saint on before, so I doubt he would even know how to look in someone's chest. He certainly wouldn't know how the lava physics work. I just figured out the whole water in a bucket thing like yesterday.

I updated it on Tbones advice, but that didn't solve it. I didn't uninstall it first, though, so I'll go ahead and try that, see if it makes a difference.

Just a reminder, today is the last day that you can buy minecraft alpha. As of tomorrow the 20th the price goes up to $30 and you won't get free upgrades for life like you do with the alpha version. If you're on the fence go pick it up now, http://www.minecraft.net or buy a gift code for a friend http://minecraft.net/buy_gift_codes.jsp

I really should start building stuff above ground. It's all well and good messing around underground. But no one can really just stumble upon it.
Got myself a portal created. Then remembered multiplayer doesn't have access to the Nether. Hopefully that's just a work in progress.

I can't get it to work on my laptop. Whenever I get to the screen to choose single or multiplayer, it instantly crashes. The browser version flashes to white. I've update Java and everything else for the computer. Grrr...
Title: Re: Minecraft
Post by: Manic Velocity on December 21, 2010, 10:38:11 am
Lots of people are having trouble with the beta client. Some of the bug fixes Notch implemented are causing a lot of lag and dropped framerates.
Updates should be coming fairly quickly, as the community is very vocal right now. Looks like many of them confused "Beta" with "Gold".
Title: Re: Minecraft
Post by: Tbone on December 21, 2010, 11:21:20 am
Downloaded another update. I still can't even get into the select screen. I'm guessing my Java is crashing. It's hard to know if this is a beta issue or an issue with my laptop.

well I would start by doing this.
Uninstall Java Reboot Go to %appdata% and delete the .minecraft folder. Delete the minecraft.exe file Download the newest java Make sure you have the newest video card drivers available Reboot
Download the minecraft executable again and give it a shot.

Ever since Beta started I can't play for more than 30 seconds on multiplayer without being dropped from the server.
Before Beta I had no problems with connection, but now I can't even play the game :[
Title: Re: Minecraft
Post by: JazzyC on December 21, 2010, 03:15:01 pm
Apparently Notch has a feeling that some of the lag people are experiencing is from the re-introduced (and tweaked) leaf decay.

My video card is a GeforceGo 7900 GTX. I don't think they've had an update for that card since 2007. In fact, the driver I'm running is for a Quadro 2500, because when my first card got fried, Nvidia's drivers would no longer work and that was the only fix I was able to find online. So...yeah...not much I can do with the graphics card. I'll look into the rest of it.

Since the beta update broke all the server mods and plugins, my server is now a vanilla SMP server. I've forged the beginnings of a base inside a mountain near the spawn point. Playing on likwidtek's server made me remember how much fun it is to build things AND try to stay alive.
I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to leave it this way or alternate between SMP and Creative.

Downloaded a video driver, uninstalled Java, deleted Minecraft folder and Minecraft exe, reinstalled java, re-downloaded and installed Minecraft, and I still have the same issue. I don't get an error message. It just completely shuts down with no warning. The in browser version just turns white.

It was my video driver. The only way for me to update it is to go to laptopvideo2go and use a modified inf file with the download. It took me a while to remember that was how I could do it. Once I updated, the problem went away.

I certainly intend to. Except when hanging out with the others or participating in a group project, I'm going to pretend that big eyesore of a city doesn't exist. It just seems so... carebear to me.
I probably won't even be taking advantage of the starting package, since I'd feel like I cheated using it so kick-start my new domain. That's the joy of Minecraft; we can all play however we wish without stepping on anyone else's toes.

The giant pits arent real. Try to place something there or walk on it or even change your fog density and they should disappear.

The giant pits are called "chunk errors", when a game client fails to load a portion of the map.
Disconnecting and reconnecting should fix it.

I tried to do as much from memory as possible. It was easy at first, but once I got started on the church I started second-guessing myself so I referred to screenshots.
I'm REALLY eager to start work on the monument, but I want to wait until block dyes are implemented. Hopefully soon.

I can set up a server. I haven't played for probably a year and haven't followed the development at all. It would be cool to see what's changed.
EDIT: Server IP - 67.172.228.217

Since you're doing Minecraft again, why not try it with some mods? Perhaps something from http://feed-the-beast.com/?
I've been running a server with the Yogcraft modpack, and it's FANTASTIC. So much more fun than vanilla Minecraft, in my opinion, and easy as pie to use for both clients and servers with the FTB launcher.
Seriously, check it out.
Title: Re: Minecraft
Post by: Revalis on July 22, 2013, 10:04:06 am
I can't play vanilla minecraft anymore. Feed The Beast is without a doubt the best way to play.
You can get the DW20 private pack with the code Direwolf20_1_5 which is MC 1.5.7 I think. But it has most of the best mods available. I'm 100% for playing on an FTB server.

Played around on Manic's server. This is a BLAST! It was raining and just looking up at the rain was really cool. A skele found me and put an arrow IN MY HEAD lol.
