Minecraft

Be warned, there's a chance that the world may not load at all. It's a very buggy snapshot. So far, I find worlds with less blocks to render less in danger of this bug. (e.g. superflat worlds, having very few blocks to render except the first five or so levels)

Well, time to bump this!

MTM and I never did get that Co-Op Let's Play series started, but with the integration of Minecraft Singleplayer and Minecraft Multiplayer, that may be possible again!

Also, books can be crafted and written in without the need for mods.  Awesome.

Actually, no, they're not being integrated into each other. Rather, single player is just being made much more like multiplayer, in that your computer becomes a local server for the singleplayer worlds. Multiplayer is similar to that, but involves other people being able to connect to you. They're being made similar to each other, not being made the same thing.

Yeah, amazing snapshot.

NOW WHERE'S THE DARN MODDING API

Mak has been playing pretty much nonstop since the new snapshot came out...
He's lovin it.

I was under the impression that the only difference between a single player world and a multiplayer one was whether or not you were playing in Multiplayer mode; that is, a simple bit that indicates whether or not you're letting other people play with you.  You know, like how the xbox live version does it.

The other difference is that multiplayer is a remote server, and SP uses your own computer as a "server"

So, is there a way to let others connect to this "server"?  Or will we still have to go to all the trouble of setting up dedicated Minecraft servers if we want to play multiplayer?

afaik there'll be a way to "invite a friend" or something like that, but don't quote me on that.

Hu-MONGOUS Minecraft pre-release!  Mining now yields experience orbs! :cheer:

Oh, and Adventure Mode has finally been added.  Hooray!

Enchantment in general has been TOTALLY re-vamped, the highest level of enchantments is now Level 30, and Level 30 grants MUCH better enchantments than it used to.  

Here is a link to a website with calculation tools for the new system: http://pernsteiner.org/minecraft/enchant_snapshot/

Mak's been playing since he got here.. and loving the new snapshot!!

[Flipz]

I might actually install this one now--when they made the switch that eliminated pausing in singleplayer, I just couldn't play--it was impossible for me to survive even one night, I needed the chance to pause at times to plan my next move.  Now that pausing has been re-implemented, and much of the bugginess has been fixed, however, I think I'll take this one for a spin.

[mtmerrick]

Me, ddude, flipz, and Kz have been playing on the bzp server: we even have our own village now. Anyone else here want to join up?

[MsRowdyRedhead]

I bet Mak would.

[Flipz]

I bet Mak would.

Erm.  Might not be the best idea for him.  Nothing against him, but...well, you know how the Internet is...that. 

Not saying it's the focus of the server or anything, but the occasional off-color joke gets dropped, so...keep that in mind.

[Trijhak]

Not to mention the occasional lectures about trading and noses.

I am pretty sure he sees that on other servers as well... except Sully's.

yeah, there's some times where things might get a bit inappropriate. Not all the time, but often enough I feel like I have to warn you.
If you still want to share the server with him, its up to you.

[MsRowdyRedhead]

We'll see.

Meanwhile...

[Flipz]

Is that review by you, Red?

[MsRowdyRedhead]

No.. I just shared it.

[Flipz]

Red, you and Mak need to do a Let's Play series.  Maybe playing through adventure maps or something.  I bet you'd be great at it and have a LOT of fun!
