The MafiaScum Minecraft Thread - Summer 2024 NEW SERVER!

[Rhinox]

Uhm.. why did you make it a 48 hour vote over a holiday weekend? o_0

This.


But thats the order I'd have voted for, so I'm ok with it.

[Untrod Tripod]

I think you should redo this contest after the 1.8 update (more interest in the server at that time, I'd think) because lulz

[Claus]

How am I supposed to know it is a holiday if you guys don't tell me? It is not like I didn't say two weeks in advance what where the plans were for the voting period >_>

UT is right, I'll give it a second try after 1.8.

[DonJosh]

1.8's gonna be fkin schweet.

What you mean the whole world

doesn't

revolve around our american holidays?

[David Xanatos]

I'm Scottish and I knew about it.. >.>

[Chronopie]

I didn't know. But then I am all the way down in NZ. Also means that (90% of the time) I'm on the server when no one else is.

Spoiler: Screenshots

The mountain.



The staircase, all the way from the ground to the top.



I have quite a view from my house.



and it is

quite

a drop.



The house itself is a bit of a let down.



But home sweet home.



I even have a Nether Portal.

The clouds do obscure the view a bit though.

Edit: As a note: I added a fair deal of glass to the nether zone after our [My+Rhinox]

encounter

with a Ghast, involving lots of the netherrack around my portal igniting/blowing up, the portal even went out. Briefly. The glass will prevent future Ghast attacks around my portal.

[Claus]

I like your nether portal design!

[Rhinox]

I visited chrono last night. I like playing with the waterslide

Hey anyone interested in doing a cooperative / succession type of thing?

Like, someone starts by going out into some random place in the world bringing nothing with them, do stuff for some number of day/night cycles (maybe 6? 2hrs of gameplay if no beds are used, 1 hour if building days only), then place all gathered supplies and equipment into chests, and then the next person takes over for their turn of day/night cycles. We could post screenshots of the progress in this thread, and keep cycling through all of us until people start to get bored with it.

(I got the idea from the Civ 5 succession game in mish mash, thought it would be fun to do with minecraft)

[Rhinox]

Going to redesign the "palace". It's not really so much of a palace as it is a big stone box.

So, tearing it down over the next few days.

So I freaked out a bit when I walked past your palace and saw it was on fire just now... well what was left of it......

[My Milked Eek]

/in for the succession build. and yeah, it's on fire. :p

You realize this isn't the leak right?

[Untrod Tripod]

1.8 is fucking sexy

[Untrod Tripod]

So we're going to update the server to 1.8 and then build a nether railway out to the unexplored 1.8 Questing Areas, right? Because zomg.

[Claus]

DonJosh -- Notch has released an ¨official¨ (pre-release) version of 1.8. He doesn´t care about the leaking that much.

Converting the world from 1.7 to 1.8 will not be that bad. The limit between the old and new chunks will have some annoying weird walls, but some people may find them ¨alluring¨.

Villages are funny. Abandoned mineshafts are really alluring - long, reveal a lot of minerals. I heard some amazing things about abandoned underground fortresses (libraries! and more!) but haven´t found one yet myself. Endermen are cute. Running is okay. New blocks YAY YAY!

That said, it has a few game stopping bugs:
- Nether with tree leaves seem to crash the game (I have not verified it myself)
- furnaces turning on or off crash the game. I have tried dozens of different video settings, but it is consistent (changing the video setting also crashes the game). I´d wait for the ¨official¨ 1.8 before converting the server.

[DonJosh]

Ya, but its frkin buggy as hell

[DonJosh]

Meh, w/e

[My Milked Eek]

New terrain generation is just frikkin awesome

Spoiler: pic

[Claus]

MME, I heard you like bays:



There is an ocean on the other side of those two spires - I just have to build the channel.

Also, I found a mod the fixes the furnace problem. Although jeb´s tweet says that they are currently fixing the pre-18 release, and then will release the official 18.

Cheers!

[Claus]

Exploring abandoned mineshafts can be scary. So many corners for skeletons and creepers to hide! Worse yet (or better yet) is when a long mineshaft ends in a underground ravina full of lava at the bottom!
