My guess is your mod will be updated before the end of today.

We got Notch to cook up a Minecraft demo for us. Burden your loved ones with the .exe.

My server at 66.161.212.77 is updated with the latest code and up again! Enjoy!

well, will be, rebooting right now

Watch out with the detector rails, they cause the client to crash if you try to place them next to a regular rail block or in some other weird cases (it crashes for me if I’ve already got a detector block leading into a T intersection and then I place the regular rail at the junction).

One nifty idea that people have come up with is setting up a terminus node this way:

That’s a booster track on the slope, hooked up to a button, and you launch by putting a minecart on the slope, where it stays since it’s unpowered and acts as a brake, get in, and then hit the button to launch. When arriving, it acts as a brake and stops you from rolling back.

You can also put a detector and a booster right next to each other and it’ll only boost you in one direction and stop you if you’re going the other, for directional tracks.

The boosters are kind of weak compared to the physics-glitching ones, but maybe that’ll be tweaked as time goes on.

Rain startled me the first time it started. Talk about sudden squall.

I don’t think my dogs like the leaky windows.

The best part of the forest biome: forest fires. This is the result of a single click of the lighter. The clear area around me used to be trees.

Embrace your inner pyro, my friend:

I think 1.5 made both diamonds and iron more plentiful. I was beginning to wonder because both have been in short supply. I just hit a new cave system tonight and lots of iron and diamonds - I got 8 diamonds in one pocket. That about doubled what I had collected over the past 2 weeks. (not strip mining, just finding & exploring caves)

3190

Even MORE iron? The halloween update jacked up iron to what coal used to be, and then jacked up coal to a ridiculous rate of like 16 ore per vein.

3191

I think 1.4 might have made them less plentiful and 1.5 simply corrected. I haven’t played for a while and was surprised how little iron, diamonds and gold in general I was collecting. Now 1.5 seems to be back where I remember it.

3192

I don’t think anything changed in 1.4 honestly.

Wicked map. I joined last night and started in one area but with all the overhangs, mobs were out in force, even in daylight. I moved off shore to another landmass. I’m going to build a mobivator.

One other new trick that might not be well-known yet: while you have a chest open, shift-clicking on a stack will instantly switch it back and forth between inventory and chest.

Oh, did he load up Glacier?

edit: nvm, I see he did

3196

Awesome map, I will definitely play on your server, if you don’t mind having me!

3197

Couple of interesting seeds, one has a surprise and the other is more awesome than Glacier.

Yeah I think that “surprise” one has been posted before.

I’ve been randomly messing with seeds, and while I haven’t gotten anything mind bending if you punch in the number sequence from Lost (you know the one, include spaces) it generates a nice watery world with lots of little islands.

Edit - “4 8 15 16 23 42” I believe, in case you aren’t familiar. Fun to explore by boat.

Good lord I am addicted again.
