One last thing - I've read its possible to delete old chunks in established worlds so that they can be regenerated with 1.8 code - possibly we can delete all chunks that haven't been developed in so that we won't have to go as far to find the 1.8 good stuff?

I think we could "crop" the existing world to the smallest developed areas - but we can't simply erase all of the undeveloped areas, else we would have big gaping holes in the world

I'm not even sure how I'd go about doing that. I mean, I have a nice map and everything, but it's not entirely clear (to me) what goes where.

does this mean we can finally eliminate the Cave of Minor Inconvenience?

[UltimaAvalon]

HELL NO

[UltimaAvalon]

Also server is updated

Basically we would need to do this:

0- Make a copy of the save directory.
1- Open this copy in a MC world edit program, and delete the areas we don´t want anymore.
2- Use the program that calculate the borders to calculate the borders of the old world
3- Visit these borders to generate 1.8 chunks there
4- Use the smoothing program to smooth the borders.
5- put the edited save back where the original one was.

Because of 2, you´d better send me the save (or a link to the save) before anyone goes a-exploring too much, so the borders can be calculated correctly (if we are going to do this, of course)

Like in the brief half hour I played my favorite part was the rivers. They just make an easy sort of thing to follow and see where it leads. I also surprisingly liked the experience orbs, passive mobs fleeing (sorta...) and was sad that I couldn't find an NPC village.

Where did our nether go to? >_>

[Chronopie]

Where did our nether go to? >_>

And why did the Neither Portal by my house

take me to the central point,

and the central point portal take me to spawn?

And why does /home no longer work?

[Rhinox]

some nether portals may need to be relit. I read something about it somewhere, but can't re-find what I read >.>

Chrono, basically when you go through a portal, it looks for the closest active portal within 1024 blocks in the overworld. Sounds like when you left your place, the central point was the closest active portal in the nether (I don't think you're more than 1024 blocks away from spawn). When you went back through the central point portal, the spawn portal was the closest active portal in the overworld. Portals don't create direct links to other portals. Basically just go back into the nether, walk over to where your portal is, and relight it to make it work again.

If /home was part of bukkit, it won't work until bukkit 1.8 is out I think.

[Rhinox]

Also, I'm hearing theres already a 1.8.1 update today >.>

[My Milked Eek]

That's the thing.

We have a different nether now.

[Rhinox]

hmm... interesting. I came across another thread just this morning that said the file system for the nether files was changed from 1.7. Maybe our nether files need to be moved/renamed?

[Rhinox]

So... idk if this is a problem with minecraft or my computer, but ever since 1.8, my computer's been completely crashing while playing minecraft. It happens unpredictably. The screen locks up and gets a little fuzzy and a static-y sound comes out of the speakers (similar to what old NES games did when they freeze up). That kinda makes me think its a motherboard/graphics card issue with my computer, but it only happens during minecraft, and its only ever happened since 1.8. Only way to get out of it is to pull the plug on the computer (or hold down the power button). The last crash that happened seemed kinda serious - it flashed my CMOS - or at least completely reset the computer's date and time and I had to go reset it in the CMOS to fix it. Just thought I'd warn you guys in case its a minecraft problem and not just related to my computer when its playing minecraft.

P.S. pizza is an interesting, challenging seed if you want an ocean experience without being completely cut off from passive mob spawns.

[Isa]

I have tried to get on frequently, as advised in the OP, but I am not whitelisted

[Chronopie]

Until Bukkit is updated; I am completely and utterly lost in the nether, no pickaxes (except my diamond one) left, and I keep getting shot at by Ghasts. And I'm out of arrows. And lacking Obsidian.

Send me an AIM next time you're on, and I'll try to get you out of there. I tried replacing the new nether with the backup of the nether I made before updating, but it wont take.
