*Edit: Wow, just did a quick calculation. each floor requires around 6 stacks of charcoal to create. That's a lot of dead trees.
1.9 Prerelease 2 is out now! DL here http://www.minecraftdl.com/minecraft-1-9-pre-release-2/

Minecraft inbreeding FTW.
Also looks like ender pearls can be used for teleport throws.
New items and armor repair!

All but the topmost level of the above ground portion of my hotel/office building/whatever is done. Thanks again to both melsh and dejarin who hooked me up with a ton of coal and other resources. Mostly coal though. :p

Any one having issues trying to log in? I'm stuck in some wierd glitched area in the Nether. I may need an admin to move me. This is all I see

Dang, you guys are doing serious work over there in the east. I'll have to go visit at some point.
*Edit:
Got the "exposed" part of my building all done. :) It's utilitarian looking, but I like it. Now I'm working down, and I've already hit the cavern that runs under the building. :D

An update:
My building goes all the way to bedrock now. (1 layer above it technically, since I wanted a smooth floor.)
The bottom 3-4 floors are still being excavated/built out though. I just took the time to create the stairwells for all floors, and do some quick digging at each level. Linoleum's Tombstone tunnel runs through one of the floors now, and as such I have doors where windows should be for it. :)
Any news on 1.9?
Not that anyone is going to use the tunnel now that the portal is setup, of course. ;)Quote:

1.9pre3 was released today. Supposedly the plan is for them to stop adding new features and switch to bugfixes only from Oct 18 until the first non-beta release on Nov 18. I think it's still unknown whether 1.9 will be released before Oct 18, but even if not, it's still less than 2 weeks away. :)
Today instead of fixing anything, they are adding flying dragons. :p
Which is awesome. :3Quote:

Is anyone having trouble playing this game with Win 7 /64 bit?
I don't play it , but I built a computer for a friend and his son loves this game. Twice in the last couple or 3 months he's brought the computer back to me saying it won't boot. Both times I've restored the machine to normal condition by doing a disc repair to fix boot up problems. This last time it hung at initial windows boot with a "data read error".
I'm almost positive this machine has no other problems other than his son's Minecraft play. Both times the problem started right after he played Minecraft. The kid loves this game and I'd like to find a fix so he can keep playing it. As of now his dad has stopped him from playing.
no issue at all here with win7/64bit except for the unrelated antialiasing issue with my video card
I don't have any issues here.
In other news, Finished the last floor of my building. It now is complete from bedrock to skybox. I'm now considering going back through and doing the decorating, but also maybe digging out around it so that every floor can still have a balcony. :p
Does anyone have the address of the map again? I know it's in this thread somewhere but I'm too lazy to find it ;)
Thanks :)Quote:

Sorry about that Rush. I had the server down while I was trying to rsync over to the new server build I'm putting together. It was restarted around 11-12 EST.Quote:

Pretty much confirms there won't be another "official" release before mid-November (although 1.9pre4 is out now...not sure what the pre is anymore if they aren't gonna call the next version 1.9 though ;)).
Also I haven't been following too close, but it sounds like maybe there is going to be a new Ender area (like the nether) with a new portal type to get there, so James I hope you're preparing another upgrade soon. :p
