• more strongholds with bosses will be added

All of these things are gonna make us want another new map when 1.9 comes out (within 2 months, possibly 1 month depending on if there is going to be another version before the "full release" version) the same way we had no snow, no new trees, no lapis lazuli anywhere nearby in the current map because they were only generated in the new sections of map.

With a creative map, we can freely test some of the newer features (like minecarts/rails, pistons, etc) without having to mine forever to get enough iron, gold, etc to make them. Terrain generation won't matter as much since the new blocks will be free anyway. We can build stuff quickly, rather than spending the next month building up inventories of building materials only to start over again if we want to make a new map again at that point. We haven't had a good creative map going since almost a year ago.

What does anyone else think about that?

I will say this: I tried Creative mode on our old creative map. You literally have a full inventory of every brick available. You cannot remove these bricks from your inventory, you can not pick up things, because your inventory is full. 1 hit removes any block. It's not as fun as you think, because you can't craft anything. Or maybe I didn't play long enough to get to that point. I don't know. It reminds me of the early alpha stuff where before SMP was enabled, the only multiplayer servers were the really rough around the edges Alpha build.

Sounds good. Plz add me to the whitelist.. "norazi"

It definitely takes awhile to get used to creative mode after playing survival mode, because the goal is completely different (create rather than survive), which gives the game a very different feel. There is no need to craft or have storage, because all of the blocks are already available to you at any time.

It's basically the mode for people that have ideas for building (giant castle, etc) but don't have the time for clearing the land with pickaxes; mining/smelting tons of cobble, sand, etc; constantly falling off high walls/bridges (because you can fly in this creative mode).

It's less "fun" from an adventure perspective, but also once you are done building, you can switch back to non-creative mode and play the normal way in the world you've built. :)

maybe have survival/adventure mode but have a cheat chest setup by the admin with a bunch of blocks pre-mined?

Added.

*Edit: I have created a new world. Same connection information. For now our smp world has been saved and archived off. Until I get a more powerful system I can only run one world at a time.

Enjoy the new Adventure mode! :)

No animals are spawning. :eek:

Makes the new hunger bar extremely difficult to be kept full. :p

James,

Are the creatures (cows, chickens, pigs) disabled? I couldn't find any anywhere on the new map.

Anyone have a vent server we can use to chat?

Finally, I have added dejarin (Linoleum) as an Admin. I figure he's on the server much more often than I am, and is probably a good choice to keep things in check, make sure people who need to be are added to the whitelist, etc.

I'll try to be online when I can. But it won't be very often.

I haven't been able to log in all day. I've even reset my password a few times.

::edit::
OMG FINALLY GOT IN

http://www.darksavior.net/~minecraft/

New map is generated. This map is really screwy. :eek:

*Edit: Got the new version of minecraft-overviewer working. North is now upper-right of your screen.
