It takes too long to drown, they'd have plenty of time to climb their way out.

Not if u build the pool with the current drawing to the middle, which is really easily accomplished.

Does fire damage drops? If not, get some red-moss-cobblestone and light it on fire (i think these burn eternally as well if undisturbed).

Fire does destroy drops, yes. Though, I'm getting images of a series of pits that lead to underground, submerged tunnels that draw mobs/players to a centralized drowning/item collection pool.

Which leads straight into a base, so that items dropped when the entity dies float up to a pool easily accessed from safety.

Take a look at sand water traps. It's amazing what you can kill with some stagicially placed water, torches, and sand.

So what's the word? I need to update the server software again?

I think there's a new server release as well. Can you set-up do multiple worlds?

There is a(nother) new server update today:
"The client has been updated to 1.2.3_04 (hey look at that!), and the server has an optional update to 0.2.5_02."

Logged on to the server, twas night. I asked if anybody was online, no answer. Then I got ganged up by the mobs, and died. I had no idea the mobs were on, so I got taken by surprise.

Alright, now for a combined effort!

**** just got REAL.

As someone who's never played Minecraft, that is awesome.

Hiding on top of the ADI building for now ;)

Took 12 swipes at a skeleton with a diamond sword and it did nothing. Is it possible to kill MOBs?

I downed a skeleton with just 4 swings earlier... mayhaps bugs still remain.

I killed a skeleton and 2 zombies with a single swipe to each. This was with a diamond pickaxe.

Btw...

server.properties still has monsters=false

So not sure why mobs are spawning. I'll research more when I get home today.
