Minecraft, awesome one man game project

[monroeski]

Do we actually take damage on the SMP server now? Seems like I remember that being in one of the recent updates but I haven't played in quite a while.

[James]

Yes, at least from mobs.

Haven't tried jumping off my building or anything yet.

First thing I did. I died.

Success!

[James]

Well, that explains a lot. They changed the name of some of the variables, meaning that they added the new variables with default values (such as spawn-monsters=true instead of monsters=false).

Updated server.properties. I have changed the order of the properties so that they match the order that is listed in the wiki to make it easier to go down the list and double-check what might have changed in the future.

Looks like they're going for the extra point.

:explosion:

And its good!

Honestly, it's creepers exploding that make me want to turn them off in the current world. I like our structures. I would rather they didn't explode.

That's why a few of us were asking for a separate world exclusively for survival and monster battling!

[monroeski]

Do creepers basically blow up anything but obsidian? Seems like I remember some block types that TNT didn't blow up so I'm wondering if the same could be said for creepers.

[James]

Nothing really.

So, disable them on the current world, and look into starting world 2.0 for survival?

*Edit: I am SOOOOOO happy they fixed the block respawn bug. mining is no longer a massive chore. before you had to literally click-wait-click-wait-click-wait to keep the blocks from respawning.

*Edit2: turned off monsters and health for now on the current server. I'll look into setting them up on a new instance tonight or later today depending on work.

*Edit3:
Just created a new instance for SMP. monsters-spawn and health-enabled both = TRUE. Same connection as before, but specify port 25567.
So like this:
<servername>:25567

Yeah, creepers explode in the same way as TNT.

[monroeski]

But what are the block types that they don't take out? Just obsidian?

Obsidian and Adminium (the latter of which is completely unbreakable).

Hey, I played some on the new server today. Seems like there's a load of iron, coal and diamond to be mined. I already got myself a staircase to the adminium, the door is next to a small pond with sand around it, and an arrow made of torches. Holler if you want to pair up to explore the mine, there is a cavern I just discovered and by the sounds of it, a bunch of mobs.

Happy Gaming!
