    SMP and SSP aren't two seperate games.

    That's all there is to it, really.

    This. While the two modes might be completely seperate in your mind, they're still the same program, and strange things happen.


    they are not the same, really.

    in SMP its data being sent from the server to the client

    in SSP all gets done on the server, no syncing needed

    and drum, yes. i know its in "alpha" stage (:/) but WHY

    But the engine is the same for both, just the way data gets in and out is different. He may have changed the parts of the engine that have to do with health to get it to work with SMP, which would also affect SSP, though you shouldn't notice it.

    Actually, didn't he make some optimizations in the lighting portion of the engine? I know he was planning to, and if he did I could see that causing lag and save corruption.

    I live in a house under the Bedrock. :Pig:

    Here's my trick: Find a void, pour a bucket of water out there into the nothing-ness, sloooooowly ride the waterfall down and place blocks on the downside of the bedrock. Thereby you get a bedrock roof and a floor / walls with whatever you want :3

    Sounds uber-dangerous... I've never been able to find a hole in bedrock big enough to go through, either :C

    Gotta do it again, the only thing Camtasia recorded was me loading the map then itself crashing when I went full screen. If I'm gonna record it, I'm gonna have to change my desktop background... it's quite raunchy.

    That's ok.. you can keep that background there... :iapprove:

    srsly though, I want to see this :biggrin.gif:

    A domain is minecraft.net
    www.minecraft.net is a subdomain, as is creepers.minecraft.net, notchsucks.minecraft.net, etc. Since jkahsdfkljasldfkjasld.minecraft.net is also a legitimate address, I guess any unregistered subdomain just goes to www.minecraft.net.

    Now, if minecraft.com were a website, then someone would be trying to "steal" notch's traffic.

    posted a message on Are there vertical limits to The Nether?
    my friend did, it's covered in bedrock/adminium. He tried to find a hole into the void in it for like half an hour lol.. failed..

    IIRC, Nether has the same height limit as the upper world, which is actually a HUGE amount of height for a cave system.. :biggrin.gif:

    post a pic of the frame, because if its not working, that's probably the problem. It has to be a full rectangle with a 2x3 hole in the middle (not just an arch)

    Don't ask why our DB machine has a GPU in the first place, there's a long story behind that.

    I'm kind of really curious now...

    Fair is what you consider fair. I would do it, myself.

    posted a message on Is there anyway to MAKE a tree become huge?
    Made a massive one myself. ~30 blocks high and ~30-40 blocks wide at its widest. (that kinda sounds weird but it looks right lol) I made it by making a column/spiral staircase of dirt going up 5-6 blocks, then building a "branch" about 7-8 blocks long out from the "trunk" then planting saplings on those branches. Wait a bit, trees grow, remove the trunks of those little saplings, and remove the dirt from under them. Bam, you have your first layer. Keep doing this going up and filling in holes, took me about an entire day (mostly waiting) to build mine. Later rebuild the trunk with wood.

    I did most of my tree this way, but eventually got fed up and hacked in a leaf stack to fill in leaves a few places, out of laziness.

    Key thing is: once a tree isn't a sapling anymore, it doesn't grow. When it goes from sapling to tree, the tree size is randomly decided. Sometimes the big trees might regrow a piece of wood or two.

    posted a message on Floating chunks?
    Chunks from other saves are complete chunks in the technical sense, being a 16x16 by the max height piece of the map. Those are just little bugs from the map gen process.
