    posted a message on How to Port-Forward your Minecraft Server (With Pictures)
    I can't help any of you personally any more. A lot of you are very ungrateful and I'm choosing not to spend any more time on the matter.

    If the tutorial does not work for you, google how to port forward for your router and follow the thousands of tutorials that will come up. The main thing to remember is to replace any ports they tell you to enter with the correct minecraft port.

    PFPort checker is a great program and the IP that comes up when you open that program is the IP you should port forward to.

    Also, programs such as Hamatchi will cause problems with port forwarding; it confuses PFPort checker.

    Thanks to those of you who I did help and used your common sense.

    I made this picture not with photoshop, but with hugin http://hugin.sourceforge.net/download/.
    I will now briefly tell the steps i took to make it.
    1. Go to a scenic place.
    2. Press and hold F1 to remove the hud.
    3. Take screenshots of everything you see around you (360 degrees around, and up/down) – Be shure to give it plenty of overlap!
    3.1. On Mac press Apple + Shift + F3
    3.2. On Windows, press printscreen (on the right of the keyboard), open paint, press ctrl + v, save
    4. In your image editing program of choice, crop away everything that is not your minecraft world (taskbar etc.)
    5. Open Hugin
    6. Follow the on-screen instructions (enter a FOV of 100 degrees when prompted)
    7. In the preview window that appears, change the "projection" to "stereographic" (in the projection pane)
    8. Move the image till you are happy (in the move/drag pane)
    9. Export
    10. ????
    11. Profit!


    Worst set of instructions ever. I just get a small, warped view of the view looking down.

    You're an idiot. You're running windows 64 bit on 3 gigs of ram??? If I were you I'd buy more ram. Its supposed to have 6+ Gigs for 64 bit...


    You're an idiot. 64bit operating system supports 4+ GB ram.

    posted a message on Compasses and Watches in Nether
    Quote from eberhardt22 »
    In minecraft, watches and compasses work with the power of the magic redstone dust. Maybe the redstone dust draws its magical power from the Nether, thus going into the nether is overloading the very sensitive devices go wacko... I think that would be a cool way to explain redstone dusts power, but then their would need to be some mind of proof in the nether, and we know their isn't any at this moment...


    What a very cool concept.

    You shouldn't be playing minecraft if you don't know what to make. Use your initiative.

    posted a message on dearth of updates
    To be honest, Notch signed up for all the whining when he titled the updates "Friday updates". As soon as he did that, everyone expected there to be an update EVERY Friday.

    He shouldn't call it a Friday update if he can't keep up- the players are the most important part of the game. He should just call them updates and update whenever he feels like it.

    posted a message on How much would you ..
    Greatly depends. With it's current state, I'd pay a tops of £15 for it. However once it's polished, customisable, moddable, editable, and all the other synonyms for being able to edit it, I'd happily pay £30 for it.

    posted a message on Is there any easy way to find dungeons?
    Cartograph.

    Generate a normal map, then generate one that only shows block 48 (mossy cobblestone).

    Put one over the other in photoshop/paint.net/gimp, and viola- a map showing you where dungeons are.

    posted a message on Aww man Im Sad now...
    I highly doubt notch will implement a cloud system for game saves.

    Games started in the last 24 hours:
    Minecraft Alpha: 393150

    Each new game without exploring is roughly 17-20mb, from my experience at least.


    393150 * 17 = 6683550 MB = 6,526.9043 GB = 6.3 Terabytes.

    And that's in 1 day, assuming each player has 1 save.

    Notch would have to purchase godlike amounts of web hosting.

    What would be good though is a program/feature within MC that exports a selected world as a .7z or a .rar to your desktop so you don't have to poke around in %appdata%.

    I also believe obsidian will be the base for floating blocks when/if notch implements physics for every block. Or at least there was chatter about a feature like this.
