Realize that you get really addicted. You get an idea in your head, you build it in 8bit.

EDIT: Just finished a bridge I was working on. Gave it a 37 block diameter arch. Looks pretty good. Not sure if I'm gonna fill in the arch or not.

The server/connection was surprisingly amiable last night. I have no idea why though. :/

I got pretty far on my "Bridge to Nowhere". Only fell off a couple times while working on it. lol
I'm collecting sheep skin for the logo still, but there is no hurry.

Relax, build, reconnect, repeat.

Just as a hint, dyes are best used to dye the sheep before you sheer them. That way a single dye will dye 2-3 blocks instead of just one.

Kreij · Mar 3, 2011

ARGGH. Lost connection while just standing in my house and when I rejoined the game killed me for some unknown reason and I lost everything I was carrying.

Oh well. (sigh) Stupid addicting game !@#$ :laugh:

newtekie1 · Mar 3, 2011

Yeah, I've had that happen a few times.

Kreij · Mar 3, 2011

It's not the mundane items, it's the 1000 Diamond blocks I was carrying.
(Kreij quickly sneaks off to avoid the fallout from his statement).

In reality :
I'm think my connection gets better late at night when the load on the satellite(s) are reduced as people go to bed.
Sound logical? Satellites must have some bandwidth limitations too.
No more sleep for me !! :toast:

Wastedslayer · Mar 3, 2011

Kreij · Mar 4, 2011

You can dye sheep? This changes everything.

Kreij · Mar 4, 2011

I didn't know that either. lol
Fill the world with rainbow sheep !!! :rockout:

My big question is, if I dye them, and they regen the fur, will it still be the color I dyed them originally? If so, I will make a red sheep farm!

Also: Ford, bad news:

Sheep do not drop wool if they are damaged by cacti, lava, drowning or falling; only by being hit, with the exception of the being hit with a non-damaging snowball, egg or a fishing rod's hook. This means that it is not possible to collect wool blocks using a mob grinder trap. (However, wool can be crafted from string dropped by spiders.)

Crap.

Kreij · Mar 4, 2011

Bah .. no big deal. It's more fun running around whacking sheep than trapping them anyway.

I don't know, I've never had the patience to follow a sheep around long enough for their wool to regen. Does it even regen?

I was hoping the cacti would knock their fur off but apparently it doesn't either.

Minecraft.net is returning 500 errors again on login.

Kreij · Mar 5, 2011

Works for me

FordGT90Concept · Mar 5, 2011

Are you using the stand-alone app or webclient? They use different login systems. I was talking about the stand-alone app. I really hate the tiny size and memory limits of the webclient.

Edit: Yeah, web works, stand-alone doesn't.

newtekie1 · Mar 5, 2011

It seems like this happens every weekend, Notch needs to work on getting servers that don't get overloaded with the rush of people trying to play on the weekend.

Easy Rhino · Mar 5, 2011

im curious to know how the servers function in minecraft. if newtekie built his own box to be a server does it register on a central server somewhere?

Kreij · Mar 5, 2011

I use the downloaded client. I'm not even sure what the webclient is.

Pretty much you have a master server that has a database of all user accounts, and their account type. Then there are privately owned servers that pull information from this master server. In order to connect you have to authenticate with the master server, then with the private server. It is a cumbersome system really, but seems to work ok (on weekdays).

When you first started the client, your username and password is authenticated with the Minecraft.net server. This lets you start the game and play. Once you do this the first time, you can bypass this as long as you play offline.

Once you have started the game, when you select multiplayer and log onto my server, my server contacts a different minecraft.net server and once again validates your username and password. I can disable this feature, but it makes the server too insecure for my liking, so I won't.

The problem we are having today is that the initial authentication to start the game is failing, so we can't start the game except in offline mode, which means we can't connect to multiplayer servers. :mad:

Mine still works.

Can we get a new cartographic screen?
