Minecraft

Bulliont, thanks

So new map soon?

Why new map...? This one just got fun to play when you collect resources. There are ways to remove exp floating around if need be.

It will be craftable, is friendly, and throws snowballs at enemies. Also melts in hot biomes.

Also, they spread snow by walking around. Nice.

The snowmen are ridiculously suicidal, throwing snowballs at creepers and spiders, annoying them to attack the snowmen. It's funny. : D

Remember that snowballs deal 0 damage.

Sorry, did I say "snow man", I meant to say "SNOW GOLEM", of course.

Snow Golem? awesome.

Ha ok that's awesome, suicidal snow golem.

Edit: according to Jeb, Nether update tomorrow.

I have recently discovered something. I hate poisonous spiders. Hate hate hate HATE them. There should be an antidote in game, or like, a vaccine which works the same way as armour, but to protect against poisoning.

There IS a vaccine that protects you from poisonous spiders. It's called Lava Buckets. :p
Burn spiders, burn!

Someone keeps destroying the Melon plants i'm planting, I don't know if this was by mistake or not but if you do accidentally destroy a plant then please can you sacrifice a delicious slice of melon in order to replant it.

Good news, acceptable news time!

Good news:

bukkit for 1.8.1 is out now, and we will be moving to it now.

Acceptable News:
until the plugins we use are updated we will remain on the vanilla server's map.

also:
It seems like some plugins may bite the big one, as big deals like this tend to thin the plugin developer herd a little. Big brother is the first (and biggest) casualty. However, it seems it is getting merged with another plugin, so we'll be golden soon i think.

Looks like we'll need a new new bukkit soon.

Sorry for the double post but Jeb just released the 1.9 prerelease.

I feel sorry for Memo. Just as he gets 1.8.1 Bukkit, 1.9 pre release shows up :P

Heh. First thing I see from the new update.

^What? is there something odd in the pic? all i see odd maybe is the floating island? *mew

Nothing particularly odd other than the island that defies gravity and the overhang in the background.

I posted purely out of aesthetic adoration. :3

Some screenshots I got of the Nether in the 1.9 Pre Release.

It took a while of flying in Creative Mode to find one of these structures, so they must be sorta rare. There are bars on the outsides of the windows, kinda makes it look like a prison of some sort.

New hostile mob that spawns in the castle-like structures. It flies around and catches itself fire every few seconds, from what I could tell.

Monster spawner that spawns those fire/lava/whatever guys pictured above.

Room inside the structure. There are long hallways and other small rooms and stuff (these things stretch on pretty far, lots to explore), but I didn't find any treasure chests or anything.

Some weird floor fence sorta thingies I found near some stairs. Dunno why there's soul sand beneath them, I'm guessing that was intentional.

I also spotted some Nether Slimes, same as normal Slimes except they're black with red fiery eyes. I saw a couple near my portal, but I forgot to get a shot of them before I killed them and then flew for ages and couldn't find another. Oh well!

EDIT: Finally found some more. They move like an accordion when they jump. So weird.

They seem to spawn in pairs, but that may just be a coincidence.

(jumping)

Oop...Just realized all this (and more) was already covered here.

so who wants me to throw on the test server then?

Now, don't quote me on this, but I think that may just be bugged Nether Warts, which seem to be new plants that grow in the Nether, on top of soul sand.

Also: DEM MUSHROOM BIOMES!!!
