As per the request of the esteemed 709, this here is your Minecraft 1.9 thread named after the NPCs occupying our sovereign land. Kill them all!
Anyway, feel free to post your 1.9 adventures, questions, comments, concerns, debacles, and drunken sorties here.
:D
For the onlookers:

NPC villagers are unibrow Bergeracs apparently. Broken up into professions indicated by colored aprons and robes. There are priests. Bobsky will likely kill them first. If he doesn't I will. ;)
Tons of new Nether blocks. A couple of new Nether mobs: A lava slime and a stupid sparky thing. Pigmen now drop gold nuggets, ghasts drop tears - which I guess you can use to tame and ride a ghast - though I'm not sure why anyone would do that.
Lots of other stuff, but I'm most excited about the Nether buildings/strongholds. This could be fun. :)
Oh god that's great. :lol:
Looks like we'll be kissing goodbye to Sedona and SOB very very soon. :D Maybe we should try out a new 1.9-pre world this weekend?
Hellz yes. If I could make one small request: post the world seed in the 1.8 thread before you lock it? It's a nice world (though not ideal for the AN New World) and I'm sure some of us may like to go back to it. :)
Thanks, Herr Presidente. :)
* I know I'm mixing languages here, but it looks good. Herr Señor Presidente was just a little too much.

downloaded, heading into single player now because we can't do multiplayer together yet.....

Wait what? Don't you want backup? Given, with a new world we have to smash creepers in the face with lumber, but still. Scary shit.
Also, geez, I was just about ready to post an updated texture pack and now I have to go add support for more items and blocks. What is this madness??
Protip: This is the kind of problem we want to have.
drewprops
2011-09-22, 17:40
how do we all play in the same place?
also, I finally found a village in creative mode and noticed that the people did NOT attack me when I hit them... they also showed no signs of knowing how to repair damage and they walked out in the night around all the baddie mobs with no damage incurred. A creeper blew up near one (because of me) and it did nothing. I buried one guy about 4 blocks down in a hole then gave him a ladder but he didn't know how to use it at ALL.
...
That could've been a CM mode thing, with them not taking damage and all. But a city of the buried undead? Totally going to do that.
Looking forward to this new world. :)
So, uh, SERVER UPDATE.
Also, texture pack update!
Couldn't wait. :lol: :devil:

Only that the ocean, while huge might not actually be infinite -- I found land across from Loch Greene via a roundabout land route.

Is Loch Greene our new not-quite-forever home?

billybobsky
2011-09-23, 09:22
Yes.
So, for those who weren't on last night: We've taken up residence at a nice little lake with plains, deserts and different types of forest nearby. We're about 1500 blocks south of spawn, so it's a fair trek. I'll post full co-ords next time I logon.
And yes, there was an incident in a town. Let's not talk about it.
Ah. I thought y'all were holed up in the swamp safe-house that I found. Hmm. I'll be on later tonight after I make golumpkis, maybe I'll be able to make the trek out there without too many deds. ;)
Saw this yesterday. The discussion of killing the NPCs and some "incident" in town reminded me of it.

billybobsky
2011-09-23, 18:07
Nah, it's 100% hilarious.
Wait. No. it is only 20% hilarious -- the Swastika took it too far.
Obliquely referencing human genocide, all well and good, directly referencing a specific one is truly fucked up.
There's Jimmy Carr "routine" about the nature of comedy and offense that touches on this idea: that even if it's maximally offensive (ie: about the worst thing that ever happened) if it's not hate-driven, it can still also be very funny.

Obviously, be prepared to be offended.

I've take up across from Rowdy's place, up on the higher promontory facing out into the water. I plan to build in glass but am lighting the shit out of the place, above and below. I think I'm building on top of a coal mine for goodness sake.
I think we'll need a community shack out in the desert for sand miners if there hasn't been one built already.

Edit up front: Brad I had to drag that image into Photoshop and lighten it in order to see what you were talking about... crenelations and fortress walls and piers and walkways.... wow.
Bruce I have some of the stuff you dropped when you died in the Nether. Apparently one of the pigmen was still pissed off and he came at me, forcing me to lay waste to his ass in my typically brave manner... at which point it was pile-on-drew time for everyone in pigman manor.... kicked all their asses without dying somehow... made it back out then got to trying to talk to everyone and 2 creepers came in and blew up in the cavern containing the portal... I patched at it then ran home.
Bravely.

New maps are up and it looks like spawn moved again. :\ I've seen this happen with 1.8 and now 1.9. Wonder how many times spawn will move. :confused:
Since all you heartless bastards trekked off 2K north without even leaving a note I set up shop on the first night near what I subsequently found out was a mere safehouse. My lair is near completion, so I thought I'd share a couple of shots BECAUSE YOU"LL NEVER VISIT. :D

The bedroom loft is done in the main area, so I just have the downstairs kitchen and living area to do. Then maybe I can join you in your far away land. :p

Don't go 2k North!

That weird green thing in the corner is a pool table, btw.

Did someone mine out all the netherwart from the nether ruins? It's all gone, at least around the stairs I visited. Please replant if you did. The stuff only grows in the nether on the soul sand.
Also, I found a blaze spawner in the ruins! Images brightened for visibility.
Once you find this lava pool:

Wander into the netherrack catacombs and eventually you'll find this:
http://i.imgur.com/s0Quq.jpg
I had to kill two blazes to get this shot. Beware! Lighting up the spawner with torches doesn't appear to keep blazes from spawning. You have to destroy the spawner. I left this one intact, though, since it's out of the way and the only one I've seen so far.
Brad, that might have been me, but I'm pretty sure I left at least one in each. I'll go put some through there again and maybe some in loose soul sand near the portal.
Here's a few more of you Capt'n

Also, if you've not seen it yet, I set up a skellie trap under SpecMode's shack a few days ago. Nothing fancy. I just walled it in with cobble because I didn't have any sand on me at the time to make a nice glass viewing area.
I built a small melon farm nearby to sustain myself while I was working on the trap:

1.9 Prerelease 2 is out. Highlights include:
Enders pearls make you teleport (but may get you kicked in SMP for hacking right now)
You can repair tools.
You can farm animals now, not just chickens.
Lots of other stuff, including glass bottles that will eventually hold potions!

No to the giant, yes to the underwater breathing.
New items
Nine new music discs (11 in total, one "broken")
Blaze powder
Magma cream
Glass bottle
Spider eye (dropped by spiders) and fermented spider eye
Game mechanics
Hardcore mode: game over when you die, hearts have new icons
Golden apple now has a shining animation
Pressure plates on top of fence posts now make sound when you walk on them or next to them
Villagers has no names (No more TESTIFICATE)
Holding the spacebar allows you to jump continuously again
The enderman pearls now teleports you when thrown
Endermen teleport to dodge arrows. Endermen teleport out of water when they touch it. Endermen teleport a lot more
Item repair! Put two damaged items in the crafting grid (arrangement doesn't seem to matter)
F5 view cycling
Fences now attach to adjacent blocks, has an interesting outcome when used certain ways
Pumpkins can be “crafted” into 4 Pumpkin Seeds
Zombie Pigmen now drop rotten flesh or gold bits randomly
F8 cinematic mode is back
New tooltip design
Glass panes now shatter when mined
Mob health seems to have been rebalanced
Fence hitbox fixed
Exp orbs now are the score when you die
Poison timer in inventory
Animal breeding:
Feed passive mobs wheat to make them breed with each other
Passive mobs follow you when wheat is selected
No sheep colour inheritance
With luck, potions may make 1.9 final. Maybe 1.10.
Plus it sounds like there's 2 more major updates before the final drops, which likely means no new "permanent" world until end of November. :\
Final is planned for Minecon, right?

Notch says there's two more features he wants to add before a feature freeze on the 18th, giving them a month to polish before launch.
I guess it depends on if they release a "final beta" with those last two features on the 18th, and then polish that for a month, or if they don't bother releasing that final beta. If they release a beta release after the feature freeze, I don't think polishing would get in the way of starting a new "permanent" world...?

Yup. 11/18, a week after Skyrim and two days before Zelda. :D

I saw a post on the minecraft forums recently that someone was developing a tool to smooth the transition from 1.7 to 1.8+ chunks. basically it inserts a river at the join, then smooths the terrain down to the riverbed. Not sure how it deals with caverns. Thought it seemed interesting: maybe we could go back to Bridgeport?
(That said, I've been really enjoying the "start again" nature of the last few weeks.)
I've seen some of the edge-smoothing tools too (haven't seen the river one though). Pretty neat.
I wouldn't mind starting over (museum complex notwithstanding). I do hope we can get a cross-world portal going for at least a limited time though.
Or stick with BridgePort. Either way. There's a lot invested there, that's for sure.

What's the difference with that now? Is that saying you have :27 more seconds of being poisoned? I haven't noticed that on any of these yet. I see your food bar is green, but not making the connection. I haven't been poisoned yet.
SpecMode
2011-10-02, 00:29
That's what it appears to mean - the food bar will keep draining faster for the duration of the 'poisoned' effect, which is what the timer is for.
Yes, but note: Poison ≠ Hunger.
Hunger makes the food bar glow green and be consumed faster.
Poison makes your health bar glow green and slowly deplete.

That won't be necessary... My resolve is absolute except when it isn't.
So we have made some changes for everyone at our house.
There is now a chest near the chicken coop for anyone to be able to grab something when needed. I'm not using admin powers to make stuff right now like I did (and likely will do again) with the armory and tool shed. So these things are things Mrs T and me have worked for. However we love sharing with you people so enjoy it.
Also, the pen for the cows, sheep and pigs really is for everyone. Please don't let them all out or take all of them. We use our wheat to mate them and such. If you need a couple to get your own ranch going, stop by and pick up a few. :) The ranch area was started with community effort so we certainly can't claim all of it. If you need something else, just ask because most likely we will give you want you ask. :)

An owen appeared in my basement farm tonight, too, despite being well illuminated. Our best guess was that it was raining outside, he needed to teleport to a nearby dry patch to get out of the rain (they do that now), and the only dry patch nearby was in my house. The same might have happened for turtle.

Hey Artap99/boxofjason, is this cobble platform yours?
http://i.imgur.com/jMXdo.jpg
If so, would you mind reining that in a bit? There's plenty of land to go around, and you're practically touching Bryson's roof. Let's try to not encroach on each other's works since we're on a new world with tons of open land.
also note that bryson designated that area for his windmill project... so you've got to move, boxofjason...

It was a placeholder for what was going to be smaller/glass. I was getting an idea of size and it kept getting bigger as I attempted to round it out. I was going to move it over, as well.
It seems it all needs to come down anyway, though. Oh well. Back to the drawing board.
Given that I'm away for a week, I can sacrifice the land: but yes, that is enormous...and cobbly.
Beta 1.9 pre 3 was released today, but I'm too tired tonight to bother with fixing up the texture pack and updating the server. The weekend approacheth, though!
Although the terrain generator doesn't appear to have changed, there are some important blocks that our map will lack if we choose to not wipe and start over (or delete chunks). Strongholds, for example, now contain new block types that won't exist in already-generated areas.
I'm cool with holding out on rebuilding everything until the 1.9 final or even 1.10.
Or even 1.0. ;)
Remember, Mojang reset the version counter when they switched from alpha to beta, and I expect they'll reset the version counter to 1.0 proper once out of beta. After all, we're currently at version beta 1.9, not 1.9.
That said, me too. We have just a few more weeks (so they say) before they feature freeze and just a few more weeks later before the we're out of beta.
Didn't know about the version reset. I never did make it in Alpha. I have an alpha key thanks to trifle, though the rest of my kin are beta users.

[!] When you shut down a server, it always loses data. save-all does nothing. Additionally some chunks will not save the changes. When you leave and then return the area will be back to it's original state. (?)
Maybe we ought to hold off on this update for the moment. Full (known) bug list here (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Known_bugs/Version_1.9pre3).
That bug is not widely confirmed. On the discussion page, a few guys are claiming it's a bug, and a few guys are claiming it's not. I checked the official MC forums, and some people are experiencing it there too.
I'll definitely be testing this one myself before updating the AN server, and as usual I'll save a backup immediately before upgrading in case we need to roll back.
Also, I'm reminded of why I never check the MC forums more than just superficially. The place is filled with moronic comments and "advice" like this, probably my favorite example, in response to criticism of SMP bugs:
Get a better server...The Netcode is fine for servers with 3-5 bars on the lag indicator thingy. Or just get better internet.
I ragequit.
So, I finally succumbed to the peer pressure and started a farm. It looks like, um, well, a farm.
http://www.greychristian.com/AN/farm2.jpg
It's not at all finished. There's a wheat farm planned to keep the animals in check, a ducken farm in the water area and maybe a small windmill.

They're building a LEGOLAND in Atlanta which got me to wondering how long it will be before Notch signs a deal with Lego for a Minecraft-themed Lego set.

So, yesterday I tried out beta 1.9 pre 3 SMP with a local copy of our world, and I probably won't be installing this update on the server unless you guys are just dying to have at it. The world-saving bug does seem to affect us, as do other bugs. The most bothersome after the whole not-saving bug was that I couldn't get any of the farm animals to reproduce. Back to a vegan diet!

There's a new skellie trap for loot grabbing over by Drew & I now - just off of the front of my slat house towards Drew's desert shelter.
It's very close to the surface and I've built out an entryway/path to the collection area. :)
1.9pre4 was released today, and it looks like we may be ripe for an update. :)
Lots of neat new additions, and the world-saving bug appears to have been squashed. I'll be testing SMP locally first, of course, and if there aren't any more major regressions and if the animal farming issues have been resolved, I may update the server tomorrow night or over the weekend.
Does that mean a new world, or can we hang with the current one still?

I'm all for sticking with this world. I'm getting a little burned out on projects evaporating due to notch's bullshit programming, but, that said, I know this world is another temp home, so whatever's best for everyone is OK by me.
Is there a reasonable chunk deleter for Pre1.9x? I'm guessing no since Mojang holds the source so closely until release.
All the chunk deletion was done by yours truly. :) I wrote the program that did the "aggressive" pruning that I proposed (but then abandoned), and I could easily adapt it to work with beta 1.9 pre X without Mojang's blessing or source. ;)

I'd rather we have the world naturally generating these things and giving us the opportunity to find them instead of me (or turtle) just magically doling them out. I don't actually know, for example, if deleting chunks with strongholds will actually regenerate them with the new blocks.

Also, yes swords are weaker now (http://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/125968035189239808).
That said, if you need help getting "back to town" from spawn, you might want to take the portal that's in Fort Terrible. There's a path from there to another portal in town.

I don't think Bruce will care about green cobble, he's all about the precious metals. If it's just off of my place then it's part of of the Drew/Grey Mining Co.

I finally kept hitting sand and then water.

I would have moved the modern house I built. It would take some doing, but I think I could get it fixed up. The hill is the bitch part of that, though I could certainly landscape around it to fit it anywhere.
Also: I think 709 will want his museum.... but can I suggest that we also pick (in addition to the one/person) say 3 community selected structures... I would nominate 709's hotel, the space shuttle (since I suspect Brad's transport would be the moneybin or the airport), and k's lodge.
Other structures we will likely be building replacements of: the AN sign, the hostile mob trap (designed to preclude owen's from spawning)...

Indeed, I would pick the museum above all else because a) it's unfinished in its current state and b) once it's finished and I have the major exhibits built I wanted to bring the community in to decide on and build their own. It was always kind've meant as a community thing, which is why I was so bummed when we had to move worlds. Star Wars exhibit? check. History of Antarctica? sure. Potions galore in the search for the cure? Of course. I think it would be wildly fun.
On an unrelated note, someone's taken most of the green (client side error):
Maybe we should rename the area Loch Gray. ;)
Could we make it a throw back area of the map, ie: little to no further development with everything next to each other? (fixing things is allowed) It could even be a cityscape planned by you, Brad, if you want.
I would have moved the modern house I built. It would take some doing, but I think I could get it fixed up. The hill is the bitch part of that, though I could certainly landscape around it to fit it anywhere.
Also: I think 709 will want his museum.... but can I suggest that we also pick (in addition to the one/person) say 3 community selected structures... I would nominate 709's hotel, the space shuttle (since I suspect Brad's transport would be the moneybin or the airport), and k's lodge.
Other structures we will likely be building replacements of: the AN sign, the hostile mob trap (designed to preclude owen's from spawning)...
All sounds reasonable to me!
Yep, I'd probably pick the money bin. Though, I might instead scrap the resources and rebuild it from scratch. It looked perfect from the outside, but a few things about the internal arrangement always bothered me.
The bridge is the one thing I think I would really want. 709 did the fixing of it too so it wasn't all mine. I'm sure Mrs T would want the Pagoda at least.
With all due respect, I don't think my hotel is worthy of the move from BP to our new world. Yes, I love it and am proud of it, but there are far better things to move over besides that.
I vote Skyranch.

This is why there is a nomination process. ;P
Also: don't minimize the aesthetic virtue of the Gherkin, all of the other buildings in our small little world are positively prismatic.

In fact, I really like the idea of a close-knit hodge-podge of bygones places. It's like a sci-fi thing that I can't quite put my finger on. Like when aliens were collecting landmarks together or some shit. I'll think of it.
Obviously, everything depends on our new home. I honestly have no idea what to expect.

Gherkin, museum, skyranch, moneybin: yes, yes, yes, yes.
And the Coliseum.

Yeah, I'm cool with all of those as well. The mob trap, too, if we can find a convenient spot where it won't be a blight on the surrounding landscape. :)

Because of resources, Parapa. I can redo the bars, and there were a couple of things I didn't like about the setup in two of them due to confined space. Now, I could effectively do it as I'd have liked from the beginning.
This is what a lot of arrows and time to get 40 XP will get you:

Wait, it just GIVES you one? Or the abilities are available to you with those XP and that sword?
SpecMode

You have to already have the sword (or whatever you're enchanting). You apply the enchantment using the enchantment table, which costs the required number of XP/levels (which, for diamond gear particularly, can get quite ridiculous).

We'll just redo the mob trap -- it needs to be heavily modified to prevent Enders from happily escaping. Buried this time...

Buried, and under the ocean!
Also, if Notch adds a way of returning from The End, we could set up an Owen trap there. Either they aren't interested in picking up end stone blocks or they just don't pick up anything in The End. Hard to tell.

If under the ocean, I'm thinking we could make a path to it from my tunnel. Also, my tunnel is apparently heading right for someone's structure, with all the caves under there having been previously explored. I'm gonna slant out a bit and go more towards open ocean, I guess.

Ah, but this would all be in the new 1.0 map. The plan is still to torch the current world when 1.0 drops. A new version of bukkit should surface shortly after the 1.0 release, and then I'll be able to experiment with multiworld plugins for transporting structures back and forth.

Well, I'm still planning to build some underwater tunnels in the new world. :)
Also, further confirmation the 1.0 is coming soon:

Next week is MineCon week. That means we’ll release the full version of Minecraft (which will be called “Minecraft”, and have a version number of 1.0. The current version is “Minecraft Beta”). We’ll keep working on Minecraft for a long time after the full release, but it’s a huge milestone.

Yup! IOW, Loch Greene may soon become a thing of the past...
We should figure out what everyone is hoping for in the new world. I'm hoping to have our main city be oceanfront property with pine forests nearby...not unlike what we currently have. I'm also hoping for tons of area to explore nearby, so that we don't end up with a tangled mess for caverns underneath.
So savannas exist apparently. I was wandering around the BP map and realized that it stopped raining around FM, even though there was grass (I always assumed the rain stopped at desert blocks but rained everywhere else). That could be nice for a new city.

I want a very similar setup to what we have now, but it would be nice to have giant towering mountains in the vicinity. Loch Green is keen, and would be keener if we also had an area of gridded development reminiscent of Bridgeport.
We started to have something like that in our desert habitat, but not quite. I think you'd be surprised at how a defined set of pathways provide a compelling framework for construction. When you design for access to standard paths of travel you add a layer of ordering. It's just a thought, mind you.

No-one online the last couple of days? Have you all run away? I have so many potions to share!
If I got to pick a building, I'd like the Library. And I'd like to do modifications to the inside so that a max-strength enchantment table was at the centre.
I was on for a short time last night, but honestly I've been having a lot of fun wandering around BP. Things have definitely changed with the transition to the newest version of MC. The passive trap seems to be in a non-animal-producing plain now (possibly part of the FM savanna).
I've been keyboard-mashing a little bit too looking for a world where spawn is close to an area like Loch Greene plus having mountains, deserts, plains and forests nearby (a close snow biome would also be a bonus). Not really any luck yet.

Could we use the same seed as our Loch Green world?
We could just ask Bruce to build us a rugged mountain in the background, he's pretty good with massive projects ;D

During the week I'm swamped with work. No time for gaming most nights. I'll be on over the weekend, though.

I'm pooping while I'm waiting for sunrise out in the desert, in case anyone is trying to talk to me right now.

My entire schedule seems to have been hit hard by the time change and travel to Europe. Most nights I am asleep by 10 pm, which is ridiculous and which leaves little time for take home work at night that comes as a priority, unfortunately.

I'm building a low-rent underwater tunnel over to Rowdy's place... when I'm on.
Prerelease 6 is out now too with Enderdragons and whatnot. Should we jump right in given that we'll only be in Loch Greene for another week? What could go wrong? :D

Can I punch my tunnel into your place, since this world is for naught anyway?

Sunday they're supposed to release beta 1.9 pre-7 which should fix some regressions caused by pre-6. The biggest and most annoying regression is that wooden doors currently act as iron doors. (wtf!)
I think we can wait just two more days unless you guys feel really strongly about this.

Can we have power wands and compasses tonight???
Nope, those abilities came from Bukkit plugins.
Hmm... here's a thought. There's actually a branch of Bukkit for pre-5 (there were no Bukkit builds for any of the other beta 1.9 pre-releases), but I haven't tested it at all. I could take it for a spin locally this evening and, if it things work out, we could have a free-for-all tomorrow night. Yay or nay?
