I wonder if he changed how mob spawners work in SMP in the latest patch. I found an active one a little while ago and shut it down with torches (the zombies were still invulnerable, so you have to place the torches and run till they despawn), but I went back today to build on it a bit (look for the Zombie Arena!) and now I can’t get it to reactivate. Could be that he’s made them follow the ‘monsters’ flag in the server properties now.
And there’s some kind of weird dupe bug going on. I’ve found duplicates of both my compass and watch in my inventory now, though I have no idea what triggered it, and they haven’t left my action bar in ages.
Is anyone averse to me setting monsters=true in the server config?

Will you be able to kill them? In fact, what has been fixed in MP for this patch?
Oh sorry, good point. I’ll ask again once the SMP patches actually hit.

Monsters + no damage = a monster zoo in my basement.
Full monsters enabled also means creepers blowing stuff up… Here’s where linked server portals would be useful, if some people wanted a link to the existing areas but with monsters turned on in the new area.
Actually, hmm… I can see the linked portals thing getting out of hand, now. Every new feature or config option could lead to people wanting a new linked server.
Or not. One world for spawning and building, and then one world for frontiersmen who want the actual minecraft experience, no matter what the ‘actual’ minecraft experience is.

I could see how having linked servers is a good idea.
Or maybe make the server “multiworld”, so one server can handle more than one instance, with different rules every instance. But that would be too pro, and obviusly the stability is not there so less modular design seems a horrible idea.

I logged on and promptly got lost. I am astounded at how many things are being built. I hardly know where to go claim a Land o’ Faggotry.
A what? This isn’t SomethingAwful.com.

If it makes you feel any better, very little faggotry will actually happen.
Also I suppose I’ll build west of the Great Pyramid, other side of the C.
Aha, but I haven’t started building yet! Wait till you see my mile-high Liberace being felated by a Creeper!
(I just got crossed off the list, didn’t I?)
glad i’m in the frontier.

Very nice looking airship, but to be clear that is no longer my place over that way. I am currently building a (much) larger facility in a very remote location. Feel free to do away with that little hut if the need arises.
ok its between the nazca lines sculpture and the western frontier wall then.
Wow you guys have been busy… who built the space station? Unbelievable…

Yes, that is the shack in question. I was still sorting out how to build things back then, and forgot to take the sign down when I abandoned it. Destroy it at your leisure.
