Jens says Minecraft 1.1 may be released tomorrow.

For once :p, I have no idea what this changes in terms of gameplay and/or whether we should upgrade the server.

That's a scary thought. You were the one keeping us all on task with the updates. :)

Well maybe if someone didn't put 233 hours into Dungeon Defenders, I wouldn't have thought "oh that must be a good game" and switched to it for now. :p

I just tried to add Vindir to my steam list. I didn't know his username, but I found someone with 690 hours of DDtime, so I figured that was probably him. :eek:

Also, to be slightly more on-topic:

vitrix is his steam username.

James, could you please update to 1.1? Lots of good stuff on this release-*

Done

Thanks James! :)

I haven't played in forever, but...

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Version_history

1.2 is out.

Just saw a vid going over the changes. Pretty interesting. That said, I don't see myself playing again until there are mounts.

Would totally love to see the server use this mod:

I noticed the server was updated to 1.2, so I logged in and made a tower to test the new height limit (256 instead of 128) and I was indeed able to build up past 128.

I was assuming the overhead map would need to be updated at least to reflect the new height limit, but it appears to not be updating at all.





p.s. I don't really need it, I just wanted to see if my extra-tall tower was on there. :p

p.p.s. I'm all for adding mods that make mc exciting to play again. :D

I'll look into it. It seems that every time they radically change something in the game, the map software breaks until they catch up. I'll see about getting it updated later tonight when I'm home from work. If I had to guess, it's because of the map format change to the new Anvil format.

Will the map be working again sometime? I just like to see what I've been building from a distance.

Sorry, forgot about this. d'oh! :(

I'll try and get it done shortly.

*Edit: rendering now.
*Edit: Render is done, but north is in the wrong direction. I'll try and fix it later tonight when I get back home.

not a big deal, I just like looking and sometimes base my next project on what I see on the map. Thanks

Monroeski's skull mountain looks great rendered in this direction. I'd vote to keep it this way for awhile. :)

Yeah, after looking at it more, I think this might be the "right" direction to view it from. The words are readable, monroeski's skull mountain is awesome, the base in the wilderness I hadn't even seen is intricately visible. lol

This new version of overviewer can support multilple renders, including a render of the Nether. I might try and do that later. Would be cool to see what we've explored down there.

*Edit: I apparently didn't render any signs into the map. I'll try and fix that as well.

Looks great, thanks. New direction threw me off at first. works for me.

1.2.4 is out.

Now with added realism!

Minecraft for 360 is out and it demolished day one sales records for an XBLA game. The game started to turn a profit within the first hour on sale...

I found a nice mod called Optifine. It adds a ton of graphical features such as mipmapping, AF, AA, and tons of tweaks. The game looks so much better with the mod and runs a lot smoother with far distances on. I started playing again and am enjoying all the new stuff they added over the last year.
