Minecraft, awesome one man game project

Well, if it picks up my changes, we'll have a compass.

[linoleum]

It did, and north is where I said it was.

Oh man, the new map exposes my secret base. If you choose to visit, take a boat from the docks and the entrance is beyond the dirt pillar in the side of the mound.

Wow, that google API map chews through bandwidth. (I have a 95th percentile 1Mbps connection, last 24 hours we've been holding around 1.35Mbps)

It might become a problem, I won't know for a few more days. If it does, I will be temporarily disabling it. I'd rather have no map then no server at all and a huge bill to pay off.


*Edit:

I keep looking for the ruins of my "safe"house on the beach, but I guess that second creeper probably took out what remained of the walls after the first one because I can't see it anywhere and the path I was taking was in a pretty easily findable spot.

Marking a secret base with a dirt pillar? Amateur.

Nobody figured it out, and anyways, I did mask the entrance a little bit, but not a whole lot. Sort of meant it to be found. = PRO

Otherwise just play single player mode.


If it makes you feel better/worse, I put a sign on my hidden storage and then James put up a big map that reveals all signs and then even added a filter on the signs for my IGN.

Any of you guys using texture packs? The painterly one looks pretty good, any other recommendations?

I use Painterly.

[Unarekin]

I use Painterly.

Painterly is pretty awesome.

[James]

Haven't tried a texture pack yet.
*Edit: Just tried the painterly pack. Wow, that's uhm... different. I couldn't figure out what was what anymore. lol I went back to the default for now.

[monroeski]

I tried installing a texture pack once, and the game crashed. Turned out I needed to install an HD support patch first and at that point I lost interest.

If I do ever patch it will be so I can put in an actually clear glass skin instead of the default with those stupid lines on it.

painterly has clear glass, but it is framed with wood. I just installed it and like it, takes a little bit to get used to it though.

Wood blocks more than the lines in the stock one though. Just tried it out on the creative server with my skyscraper, couldn't see a thing.
