TPU Minecraft Server

[blu3flannel]

Rhino, digibucc and I finished our little project tonight.

We'll do stuff with lava and redstone later down the road but this is what we have right now.
The dimensions of the basin are 32x20x6.

I found 3 wolves on Rhino's server earlier. Unfortunately I had no bones to give them. But, Rhino accidentally hit one and they went crazy. Haven't seen any since.

yea we had to scramble cause those things are fast! i disconnected our of panic lol!

it is awesome. cant wait to come up with something mechanical using redstone.

For some reason Rhino's server is down, I was in the middle of staking a huge amount of epic territory.

Oh, I've been collecting red flowers whenever I've seen them for you Caboose, I'll drop them somewhere for yo uthe next time I'm on.

 

[RejZoR]

Are there any plans for a build server? What i love in this game the most of all is building and there aren't many good servers that use beta instead of classic version for that. And they are often too complicated to start. I just want to get to the server and build insane structures.

Donation center is fine.

Yeah, I posted awhile back in this thread that I feel the day/night cycles and the monsters really don't add anything interesting to the game and are just a nuisance.
IMO the goal is to build, not survive just because the game insists upon it for no reason at all.
But some people enjoy it so I am not knocking it (too much).

I think that natural disasters would be much more appropriate than monsters.

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

I want natural disasters so so bad. Like lightening when it rains, so it makes fires, blizzards freeze water, meteors fall from sky, etc. The day night cycle is fine with me too. Monsters make the game fun IMO. If you want to build, play infdev.

 

[Kreij]

Hey Caboose! I'm am really glad you enjoy the game. I do too. I just can't help question it.
I guess that my analytical nature (coders can be so stuffy sometimes )

Monsters are a GREAT idea. But the monsters should affect the creations, not the creator.
A large stone-eating mole? Termites to eat wood structures? etc.

IMO, the game is about the world you create, not about the players. Let the monsters wreak havoc on the world (along with disasters like tornadoes, earthquakes, fires, etc.), not on the players. They should be trying to build to prevent total catastrophe in the event of monsters or disasters.

Dying in games is always due to some kind of conflict.
In FPS's and RTS's it's an opposing force, in RPGs it's a hatred of you race or something similar.
In Minecraft, there is no reason whatsoever for things to kill you. It's just random attacks and killing.

I really, really hope that in future versions of MC that notch takes things to a new level and adds some goals or at least some reasons why there are monsters. Like ... uh ... where do the zombies come from since there are no other NPCs in the world. lol

In any event, I bought MC and it was money well spent as I really enjoy the building of outrageous structures that defy the laws of physics, and I thoroughly enjoy the merciless chat that goes on between the TPU players. I'll be back as soon as I get a few GBs back on my internet connection cap.

Just my 2 cents.

The reason you don't see a lot of beta build servers is because beta doesn't really add a lot to the building aspect. If all you want to do is build, then a classic server fills that need just fine.

YES. YES I WANT THIS. NOTCH NEEDS TO ADD THIS.

For srs, it would make the game amazing. You would have to design bunkers and stuff, redstone traps, make spikes out of iron, etc.

You will have to build underground!

 

[RejZoR]

Classic is rubbish because i have no intention to play a game in a 10x5cm rectangle inside browser.
Where beta client can run in full screen. That's the one, only and the biggest reason why.

 

[sneekypeet]

so do all you Mine Crafters use these as you play?

[FordGT90Concept]

View the source of the HTML page Classic is on, save it, remove everything that isn't part of the java applet (<applet></applet>) and modify its height and width (width="854" height="480") to whatever you want then bam, it takes up most of your screen.

 

[RejZoR]

Well i found that Blocktopia offers a beta build server so i'll just be there instead if there is no interest here...

 

[Easy Rhino]

hey pvt, the temple is finished if you want to start the spaghetti monster above it. here is a view of the inside of the temple so far.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I'm waiting for grass to grow...again. A shame the grass ladder will show up on the cartos.

Sounds good lol. We need a plan for the monster though!

No, the eathquakes will get you.
Build in the sky !!
No, the tornadoes and hurricanes will get you,
Build in the water !
No, the tsunamis will get you.
Where should I build then?
Who knows, but is that volcano erupting? RUN !!!

Moar Physics = pure awesomesauce.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I noticed a lot of lag when water starts and stops flowing. I think if the're going to do more physics, they got to streamline the physics that are already there.


The grass ladder won't show up on the cartos because it already made the journey over water and into the ground (removed it). Now the race is on (like watching a snail race, mind you) to reach the bottom where it will spread like a wildfire.

 

[newtekie1]

Watching grass grow, the game of the future!

Serously, how many people thought that we would actually be playing a game where you watch grass grow?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

After about 10 hours, the grass has finally landed. Now it's just a matter of working in the area so it continues to expand (grass only grows when the chunk is loaded by a player).

 

[Easy Rhino]

i installed "autoreplace" which is a quickbelt feature. if you run out of an item in your belt and you have more in the inventory it automatically populates that spot in your belt. makes building much faster.

 

[newtekie1]

I'm implementing a new rule. New members of the server must also be a TPU member, and have a minimum post count of 25.
