    posted a message on Looking for advice on hardware for small server
    I want to build a small in-house server box. Only two players, no external access. Any recommendations on the hardware needed?

    Ideally it would run one FTB instance and one vanilla instance but any hints would be great. No idea what you need when running a server by itself. This would be a dedicated box so it could be Windows or Linux.

    posted a message on [1.0.0] Falling Water
    Fixes the strange water physics in large bodies of water which makes underwater work in Minecraft so painful. By making water spread over other water source blocks and making unsupported water source blocks fall it prevents "holes" from appearing in the depths of a pool or from forming "whirlpools" on the surface.

    It also happens to allow neat falling water and lava effects and, for the dedicated, lava cannons!

    The mod is deliberately minimal in the code it changes so should be compatible with anything which doesn't touch the same two files (falling sand and flowing liquid).

    Lava cannons!


    Messing with the depths!


    Etalyx's review / spotlight! (the problem with water not "inflating" flowing water should be fixed in the version for 1.0.0)


    Skip to 1:30 for falling liquids :smile.gif:

    Mod for Minecraft 1.0.0 is now available on mediafire. Old versions for 1.8.1 and 1.9pre5 are also available (and should behave almost identically).

    Really want to try this but I'm stuck at 1.7 due to a number of mods I have installed. I think there are utilities out there that let you have more than one version of Minecraft on your machine? Can someone point me to one?

    Just wanted to post to say thanks. I've been playing the alpha for a couple of days and, having beaten up a few creepers and zombies, made a couple of shelters and done a little mining and farming I was wondering what I was supposed to be doing.

    Your post (and pictures) made me realise I need to be thinking bigger. Much bigger.

    Thanks. :SSSS:

    posted a message on Goal Idea: Pig Herding!
    Map is generated as usual with mobs etc but:

    - There is a designated flat 10x10 area surrounded by a stone wall somewhere on the map.
    - There are a guaranteed number of pigs on the map (100 for medium, more/less for other map sizes?)

    Points are scored based on the number of pigs in the pig pen and the time taken at the game over point, including voluntary exit.

    Possibilities to make things slightly easier:

    - Pigs like flowers and will follow you briefly while you wield one (and this uses up the flower??)
    - Pigs more likely to be generated on the surface or it relatively shallow caves

    OTOH, a higher number of hostile mobs (especially creepers) would make this even more interesting :smile.gif:
