    posted a message on Armor is way too strong in 1.0
    Quote from Piginabag

    To the people who voted that armor is fine in the pole: Can you please share your opinion? I'd really like to see a counter-argument here. How is armor balanced or fair, specifically on hard mode?


    Diamond armour is relatively hard to get.
    Enchanted diamond armour is really hard to get.
    Enchanted diamond armour with the correct enchantments is really, really hard to get.

    What is going on here?

    Want strongholds

    Won't edit map

    Seriously, just edit the firetrucking map or give up.

    posted a message on 1.0.1 high CPU usage
    Quote from Juze
    Your CPU isn't from the best end.


    It's been good enough from the Alpha version that made multiplayer playable through Beta 1.8 CPU usage was 3-15%.

    Quote from Juze
    There could be a major bug/leak in the server software too, which may be causing it.


    That's what I suspect, I was hoping someone else could confirm or if not point out some troubleshooting steps. For that matter does the minecraft server support any kind of verbose logging method yet?

    Somehow this is not effecting gameplay so I may just have to wait on Bukkit.

    And since when are we at 1.0.1?

    PS: Never run your server as root.


    I accept the potential consequences.

    posted a message on 1.0.1 high CPU usage
    Since upgrading to 1.0 and later 1.0.1, minecraft is eating up a huge amount of CPU on my server regardless of how many players are online - from zero to six. Running top indicates CPU usage of 60-100%.

    Before 1.0 Minecraft's CPU usage was negligible.

    I run minecraft with the foollowing command:

    java -server -Xmx1024M -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2 -XX:+AggressiveOpts -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui

    FIRETRUCKS YES.

    Notch is incompetent, lazy and downright insane in his design decisions.

    Jeb's first action is to commit to a modding API. I already like him 250% more than I ever liked Notch.

    posted a message on To everyone complaining that this game isn't a "full release..."
    Quote from MVanKleeckx23

    ...please, for the love of God, shut up. Notch stated that this is more of a milestone release and Jeb has confirmed that the game will continue with development. What part of adding two little words to something changes it? It's still the same Minecraft we've been playing, but now you all are criticizing it for its flaws because it is a "full release".

    You all complain that Minecraft needs to have a stable version of the game with no bugs, yet when Jeb takes the time to fix these bugs for you, you complain about that too. I honestly don't understand the logic of some of you people sometimes. We've had damn near too many topics about this on this board and it needs to stop. Admins should start removing these kinds of topics for God's sake


    Cool. Instead of the "it's alpha/beta" excuse now we have "it's still being worked on".

    For the record I like Jeb, he seems like he's always working.

    Notch on the other hand is already taking a break after throwing a party in his own honour.

    The point is the three minor things that were tweaked. How is that hard to understand?

    posted a message on Is Notch going to fix the chest being visible with X-RAY tex packs?
    Blatant exploitation of the game is Mojang's responsibility to fix. Also, the fix is dead simple: make transparant textures turn black and not x-ray exactly the way player skins already do.

    Seriously, the code is in the game already and it's demonstrably ignorant of Mojang to not fix it.

    posted a message on Couple looking for server
    Hello.

    My wife and I are looking for a server to play on. She will likely be online often and we would prefer a server which has some population all the time. We've been playing since Alpha; the patch which introduced somewhat working multiplayer survival. I have hosted my own server for us for a long time but it's mostly empty lately.

    We don't grief.

    I am familiar with administering linux servers and minecraft if you need a moderator / administrator.

    Here are some things we've built:


    Replica (with liberties) of Jacobstown Mansion from Fallout: New Vegas
    100% legit



    Fortress & surroundings


    Bank exterior & combination lock



    Cookie store & milk bucket


    Town overview

    posted a message on 1.8 & 1.9 Kinda feeling Like a Mod
    Quote from xNiggle

    Ender Dragons, Enchanting, Cauldrons & Potions.. Enderman, a new realm and hunger? Feels like over the last month someone put a mod onto minecraft. It doesn't feel like minecraft anymore, It feels like some mod a 12 year thought of (not made that would be crazy) and kind of feeling RPG like. I miss the idea of breaking and destroying and fake wiring and lighting. please tell me what you think..


    Yes, feels like a mod compilation except watered-down versions of existing community mods.

    Quote from rabbit314

    Nobody remember?


    Especially:


    So.. If u don't like it- DO NOT create mods :smile.gif:


    Mojang kind of failed at holding up their end of that "agreement" in making a modding API.

    Lacking said API, no one has signed any "agreement" thus those are just words.

    The "end" of Minecraft:

    You go to Ender land and steal their spaceship but you crash-land on a habitable planet and have amnesia.
