Minecraft Forums

I started the Unity for Redstone Computing in Minecraft a few years ago and it was the first of its kind. A group dedicated strictly to discovering and harnessing the computing power of redstone. The URC later evolved to become the UTD, from which the RDF (Redstone Development Foundation) also got its roots.

The UTD released over 80 redstone projects, about 60 or so of which are still accounted for. They range from calculators, to displays, to cannons, and everything in between.

The UTD has long been inactive, yet holds a rich and storied history. The original crew of the UTD was disbanded a week or two into the project, as creative differences plagued the administrators and builders. The previous members broke off to become the RDF.

The UTD was rebuilt quickly with a much more structured system of management. A server was found which is where many of our projects came to life. Later, this server host was part of the undoing of the UTD. Among other things, vultures were targeting our most skilled members to discredit group projects.

Like all good things, the UTD ended. The creations we made, however, are very much alive. Here is a list of everything we ever made.

There it is, every project I can find. May somebody find appreciation in them.

Sounds cool, sign me up.

Quote from Hakumisoso

Then just get a wired mouse that doesn't have braided.

I personally love braided cables. Had vmoda kevlar cables for 1 month, no fraying. Had altec lansings for like 4 years. no fraying.

never had a braided mouse.

I've had numerous braided mice, always happens. Fraying, kinking, etc.

Rubber is nasty though.

I actually don't mind batteries. Most new wireless mice these days are rechargable. My prejudice towards wireless mice was from back in the day when you had to stick two double As in ever two months.

Once upon a time I was a wired mouse supremacist. Now, screw that.

They are so damn prone to kinking and wear.




And I truly hate the fact that this happens. I LOVE the idea and feel of a braided cord. When I touch it, I feel the essence of quality. But use that for a few days and my tone changes real quick.

There are ways to help avoid wear and reduce kinking, but the problem will rear its head eventually. It always does.

So, I don't mind the extra ~1ms of lag, the next mouse I buy will be wireless. Ugh. Drives me crazy. Looking at kinks.

Things seem to really be going well for you guys! Congrats!

Nice! I was always a fan of the Tiamat.

I'll try to check in every once in a while, FYI, I just can't be admin anymore. I just don't have the time anymore I'm afraid.

Guys, due to recent medical issues I have been having, as well as suffering from some severe depression, I am resigning as head administrator of the UTD.

I leave the UTD to Michael, and he will now decide where he wants to take the organization.

I'm sorry I couldn't be with you guys longer, but this is not something I am fit to do any longer.

Cool. Just wondering, is the TechSection forum completely dead now? I tried to get active again during the summer but like a week later the site went offline.

Afraid so. I've been having a lot of problems in my life lately, and have had trouble coping with them lately.

I'm glad to see you have continued work on your cannons.

This is wonderful news. I look forward to seeing how it works out. A server would be a great help to finally get some projects underway.

Its alright I want a non fullscreen version of it. You cant play xboxlive games you can play some titles are are crossplatform.

In your post you mentioned you saw improvment with you CPU perfomrnace under win8.
Games is something that should see gains or anything else that is lightly threaded.
If you still have a win7 install anyway you would be nice enough to test a few games.

Sorry, but my Window 7 was corrupt, so I didn't keep it. I played CS:GO and didn't see an improvement, but that is to be expected with such a simple game. I will run a GTA 4 benchmark, though. On my old setup I got 64.46 FPS with the settings I had it on.

EDIT: I also like the Bing tiles. It is a good way to get news, certaily easier than googling top news stories.

EDIT: Welp, GTA 4 didn't run. That game is picky.

Anybody digging the new app store? I know there isn't a lot in it yet, but the ability to play Xbox Live games on it is pretty cool. There is a small selection of helpful apps as well.

I see things are picking up.

I have some ideas for new and innovative cannon designs. I am thinking of working on them over the weekend, and see where I get.

I just got Windows 8 Pro today, and so far, I am impressed. I have observed noticable performance increases, and the system seems much better optimized for multi-core processors (I have an 8130-P Bulldozer), and for high amounts of RAM. (I have 16GB)

The application management could be improved upon, but it is definitely useable. The desktop interface is how you would expect it, with some tweaks. The layout takes an hour or two to get used to, but soon you will locate all you need.

Does anybody else have the OEM release and wants to share their thoughts?

Quote from dudearent006

sorry to bother you guys again, but am I now in or not?
I was going to assume not until I saw the edit about my computer. I'm now confused!

I remember you, you're always welcome here, and you are in.

Your avatar is the best avatar I've ever seen.

Quote from TheMan2016

Don't worry, I've got you covered. BTW I'm also pretty busy at school also, so I might need some help. Am I permitted to appoint like a helper or something?



I still don't get it......

Of course, of course.

I know that a large part of the MC community is just ending their summer, which explains why things have been slow around here.
