Minecraft - Caves and Cliffs Pt. 1 update out now

Sadly not. The compass always points to your spawn point.

!compass on the server gives a direction and distance.

So could it be possible to leave a chest somewhere and list on the forum (or on a sign in the game) the direction and distance for someone to work out where it is from the spawn point?

should be. do we all share a spawn?

Good question. When I /home I return to a spot near the big rllmuk 'r' and original "hall of muk"

I dunno how it works for everyone else.

[Nespresso]

I spawn near the cathedral, not too far from the glass encased tree.

Thanks Alex. I can never get that to run it crashes on all my maps

Are you a big fan of signs at all? Saw this on the Minecraft reddit today:

Cartographer crashes if you have any sign that has the word 'Blocks' on it.. Another comment adds that it will crash if you have a sign containing any of the quoted words on this page.

The developer posted that it's now fixed.

[Joyrex-J9]

Thanks, but it's not that.

It falls in a massive heap even on a new "virgin" map. I think it doesn't like x64

[Joyrex-J9]

I loled at the punch a tree one

[elmo]

Argh, is there one of those without lettering? I want to make one that says

"Data Value 5

Gives Me Wood"

What would happen if I scopped up the source of a lava flow using a bucket? Am I right in thinking I could replace my waterfall mob-pusher with a lavafall mob burner?

[Blu3Flame]

It would work exactly how you expect.

[Scribblor]

Are all lava blocks source blocks?

I've suddenly developed a burning desire to make twin lava waterfalls falling into a lava moat around my mountain hideout.

[Blu3Flame]

No, and there is no infinite block like there is with water.

[Scribblor]

Shit, this sounds like it'll be tough then. I still think it'll look awesome though.

Guys if it hasn't already been done, feel free to take down the castle mark out area (below the plane) and do what you will with it. I just don't have the time!

Noticed that a lot of us had the default skin when we were standing around waiting to be blown to heaven last night.

It's much easier than I thought to edit and change your skin, so for people who haven't tried, go here:

And although I just used Photoshop, this looks like it would be useful for PC users to skin and preview:

Yeah shame on you guys!

I found a good source of skins

Server down?

[bobontheway]

There was an admin message stating that Zod needs to briefly stop the server. Not sure why

Because we all failed to kneel before him. Hold down the shift key.

[Nespresso]

Gah. Homework it is then.

The 3D glasses I bought don't work The blue side isolates that half well enough, but the red side does roughly fuck all, and leaves a massive ghost across the screen, makes me feel cross-eyed.

[Scribblor]

I can only get it to work properly if I'm running in windowed mode. In fullscreen, the separation's too much and the image doesn't coalesce.

[Nespresso]

Currently rocking a modified version of someone else's Snake (sounds wrong doesn't it?).

Oh yeah. 8)

[Joyrex-J9]

Zod has resumed normal service.

You'll be fascinated to know I've added a server restart into the mapgen batch job. This might make it run slightly quicker but the real reason is to kick the server in the balls once a day - which seems to help with stability. The server code riddled with memory leaks I think, so anything more than 24 hours of continuous use is asking a lot from it.

[bobontheway]

Forumites, ROLL OUT!

Neat! How does one get bits to stick out of the head of the avatar?

[Joyrex-J9]

Absolutely no idea, I downloaded him
