(would be nice to have game mode option in original Neocraft though)



QUESTION FOR YOU GUYS:
I downloaded the new launcher. Logged in and then pressed "play". Now if I try to enter a map created before 1.6 my Java platform crashes. If I try to log into Neocraft, my java platform crashes. Basically I can't play right now. What gives?

What version of java do you have?

Nope. As vanilla as it gets.


I always get this crash... might be my custom skin??

you could backup your screens/saves and then delete the .minecraft folder and try running the launcher again. Something weird might of happened. but if that doesn't fix it you might want to try reinstalling java.

Now, we're talking about creating a new map but Jeb is fiddling with new biomes :(

instead of fiddling with biomes, recipes and blocks noone needs he should finally focus on a new liquid...
something between lava and water. like poisonous water. purple, behaves like water, deadly like lava but without burning everything. would be a great addition to swamplands...

(and I could need it too for my project...)

Or, you know, Mojang could implement native Bukkit support.


They've been hinting about it for a long time now. My best guess is that it's coming together with the mod API, and that the new launcher was made as an integral part of that process to incorporate all of it into a new game launch interface. We know that Mojang's goal is to have just one game client for both single offline play and for server play, so the two are going to be merged eventually. I do wish it would happen sooner rather than later though.

My first guess would be it's a java issue. Everytime I ever had an issue with Minecraft, it was java related. I'd try reinstalling both Java and the LWJGL stuff (java gaming library). Minecraft itself is rather simple and it rarely breaks on it's own. And if it does it's usually due to mods messing with files or data corruption, both of which a simple re-install can fix.

I wonder if it's so hard to make a clean break and port the game over to a more stable plattform/engine... something not java based.
 
Hey Ark Nihon and I noticed that Chat seems off. Its showing our status' something like (citizen<xenoflux2113> in the chat line. Is that a new feature for chat? Or is there something wrong with the syntax?

Dmented sent me a PM and it's all back to how it was before. Couldn't have done it without him.

Well all the plugins except for announcer & death messages are back and should be working 100%. Multiverse is still giving me errors, so that might take a bit longer.

Been a slow couple of days as far as Minecraft goes, but did manage to make some progress. A few pics, because why not.

First off I finally got around to make space for a forest plantation, it's not finished yet but in the end there's room for 60 trees:

Managed to decorate my house a bit, the living room:

Kitchen:

And bedroom, with a "working" closet! :p

Did some more work on my mines:

Finally got around to creating a redstone workshop. Which was much needed, now I've been able to relocate everything off my front lawn. (Only took me a year or so):

Thanks to the wonderful help of Dmented, the server is now almost fully set-up. Multiverse & MultiverseInventories are working fine, all of essentials and chat appear to work fine; the only things left for me to do are to put announcements & death messages back in (I'll try to make them less boring this time) as well as getting MultiversePortals working.

After that, it's just setting up a spawn *points at Charlie* and we'll be all set!

I have been playing since alpha but I always stopped (due to get bored..dunno why)..what exactly do you do in a redstone factory?

Mostly I fail at building stuff, but if it works I leave it there so I can remember how to replicate it later :p

Ark, I'm gonna have to go ahead and ask you to change my status to citizen.

spuit - citizen

I think I missed an update or two, what with this new launcher and everything.

Wait so does this mean the new world is in and playable?

Ohhhhhhh I have had a killer of an idea about the spawn point when I was on the loo. I will try and put it into place tomorrow. I think you are gonna like it :-D

Yep the other world is working now to get there type /mv tp gafland whilst you are on the normal neocraft map. To return to Neocraft from Gafland just use /home or /spawn

Can't wait to get back online in a vanilla world! I haven't played Minecraft online in so long.
 
With a little help from Charlie I've been able to start rendering some of my builds. Here is my first few attempts.

First up is my castle from the Wexholm warp, the castle and village are skyrim-ish.

Front court-yard area.

A shot looking from the village towards the castle.

And here is a couple shots from my creative build on the server, the city of Wulfholm. There's no warp to Wulfholm. Only way is with creative gates and I don't know if those are working atm.

First shot from the docks looking towards a couple ships.

and a nice shot of Wulfholm Palace.

Texture pack is John Smith Legacy
 
Uggghhhh, Rabbit Lord, those (awesome) screenshots make me want to jump back into my server world and get to improving it. Wish I had the time!

Yes, yes it does!

I swear to god if it's a dome..

... like a UHC match. >:)

Made even more possible with Multiverse!

Please don't PM me about being whitelisted/getting Citizen status. Post in the thread instead and I or Charlie will add you. It's easier than me getting hundreds of PM's. Thanks.

Only PM me if you have a problem with anything. I think I've received ~1900 (no typo) PM's about NeoCraft since the server started, my inbox is currently sat at 834.

so you can only multiverse with new generated maps? not with say, the old gaf server map? <--Would be amazing
 
i saw the appeal of this game and decided to try it out a while ago. i have to admit, I got pretty immersed, pretty rapidly. i was mining and building like no tomorrow, and built this amazing mountain fortress setup. then i fucking died while i was out looking for materials for a bed. respawned in god knows where and after hours of searching for my place i gave up and called it quits. haven't picked it up since.

Thats why you leave bread crumbs or mod (for waypoints or something).

When you die and your spawn point has not been set with a bed, you usually spawn in a 15-30 block radius from the place you originally spawned the first time.

A good idea is to mark that spot when you first spawn so you can build something more visible at that specific place a bit later.

Then, when you wander off in the wild you have a few tricks to find your way back :

- build a compass, it will always lead you to your original spawn point.
- as Sarcasm already said, leave breadcrumbs, a simple 2/3 cobblestone pillar with torches does the trick (make sure you can always see another from where you build one), or simply leave a clear trail of torches.
- you can also press F3 and write down the X Y Z coordinates of where you're standing to be able to find it later.

Same thing applies to caving, a simple trick is to always put torches on the same side of a cave, so if you know you always place torches on the right when you go down, your way up will be guided by torches being on the left side.

yeah this is generally the information i scavenged when i told others of my 'plight'. i had actually made a huge tower with torches at the top specifically for if i got lost, but i couldn't find it anywhere. i've concluded that i must have been literally running in circles for me not to have found it. i've long since deleted the world and have become somewhat discouraged to pick it back up, but who knows. thanks for the info.

I'll probably be wanting to join up here in the next few days if that's cool?

Played the 360 version for quite a while but am eager to jump into the latest and greatest PC version now that I have something that can run it!
