Update 1.6(.6)

[Gaming Master2k]

So the new update is expected next week (according to Notch's twitter feed).

Expect to see:

Dozens of bug fixes (including no more cart booster)
Maps
Trap Doors
Nether world in multiplayer

Also, prepare yourself as if you update and the server doesn't you can't connect to the server (and vice versa).

Update 1.6 has now been released
Updated Changelist (http://notch.tumblr.com/post/5861083562/minecraft-beta-1-6)

[wkw427]

Maps?

[Spyke4995]

You could always back up your Minecraft and downgrade next week.

Edit: An item held with two hands, Whyme. You can see other players with the same map on your map, and areas of it will only update when you are in range of them.

[Gaming Master2k]

Details on maps can be found here: http://notch.tumblr.com/post/4988431144/the-maps

[CoolJosh3k]

WhyMe: your go-to man for TF2
Spyke: your go-to man for MC

:p

Nice to have a release date. And wow, so soon!

Maybe this would be a good time for Ice to fix/upgrade the MC server + move to Bukkit + update the shop plugin + other things? Just thinkng out loud... and hoping...

[BobbyTheCat]

I'm really excited for this. Where did you get the info on the trap doors? I didn't see it in his blog.

[TRBB]

MAPS. THANK YOU, GOD.

[Aaron Anderson]

I am very happy!

[The Colonel]

Looks like I'll finally be able to find my long-lost work-in-progress castle.

I went to get some Wood, but I couldn't seem to find the ****ing unclimbable hill I built on.

[Spyke4995]

Notch tweeted about trap doors earlier this week. They require a block beside them for various reasons, apparently.

[CoolJosh3k]

Did Notch say anything about Maps working in SMP? I read he was trying to make it work, but not sure.

Would be great if we could have a global map, that is to say a map that we can all use and contibute to. Live player blips will be great for locating each other.

[Kazooie-Tooie]

wait trap doors?

i guess this was the perfect time to build a hatch

[sam.26]

It's not the one with all the fences that breaks the game, is it?

[The Colonel]

It's not the one with all the fences that breaks the game, is it?

No, it's not in the Multiplayer server. I don't play Multiplayer. The thingy I use for my computer's wireless internet sucks, so if I did play online at the moment, my PC would be lagging up a storm.

Then again, the connection where I live sucks in general. At least, for my XBox, it does.

[Gaming Master2k]

1.6 is aimed at Wednesday. Which means we'll probably release it late Thursday. ;)

Looking forward to getting maps and trapdoors. Also will be interesting to see what "features" were actually bugs and therefore removed.

[CoolJosh3k]

Me too.

I wonder what Trap Doors are like.
I wonder if Multi Payer linked maps will be included
I wonder if the bug where you can walk on a fence (or along the very edge of blocks), then walk on normal ground to get that fast footsteps sound, has been fixed.

[Gaming Master2k]

The change list for 1.6 has been released: http://notch.tumblr.com/post/5775170768/the-changelist-for-1-6

Updating first post

[BobbyTheCat]

Spreadable mushrooms? Tall grass? Record Player with 15 different songs?

This looks like the best update since the Halloween one

Edit: This is a larger list than expected.

[CoolJosh3k]

Uh oh:

* Fixed fences and wooden stairs not being flammable

I better change the fence that separates lava from my farm.

[Adam]

Oh this is gonna be sweet.

[Korra]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTxrGZGfNJs&feature=feedu

WIIIIILLLLLSSSOOOOOOONNNNN

also grass! yay!

[gscodeseeker]

staying up late gettin up early

[CoolJosh3k]

Should be out Friday and the Bukkit/Canary updated Saturday.

[Spyke4995]

Might want to back up your Minecraft files in order to downgrade tomorrow.

[RareAddict97]

Will the server be updated for 1.6 eventually? Please tell me it will!

[Spyke4995]

Yeah, but probably not right away. It's interesting how empty the server feels when it's 100% vanilla again.

[RareAddict97]

Good to know, thanks. Also, can't wait for maps/nether. Now black Mesa can actually be black Mesa!

[BobbyTheCat]

I too would enjoy going to the Nether in SMP. I will become one with the zombie pigmen.

[Spyke4995]

I heard if you left click a Zombie Pigman, they will love you forever.

[BobbyTheCat]

I heard if you left click a Zombie Pigman, they will love you forever.

I already knew that, silly. :P

[CoolJosh3k]

I believe the server only went Vanilla because of the problems with 1.5 causing a whole week of no Canary/Bukkit.

--- --- ---

Here is something worth a nice few pages of discussion; "what will you do first in the 1.6 update?"

I myself will be going into the nether.
I will also be fixing up my gate so I don't have any Ghasts spawning from the gate (very rare)

[BobbyTheCat]

Definitely going to the Nether and making a few passageways to other areas.

[Jinji Mongo]

1.6 is out now.

[Aaron Anderson]

When server update is yes soon?

[CoolJosh3k]

1.6.1 is out!

1.6.2 is out!

1.6.3 is out!

1.6.4 is out!

--- --- ---

No joke; Notch made a few mistakes.

[The Colonel]

I was WONDERING why it was already 1.6.4...

[Aaron Anderson]

Oh my...

[The Colonel]

Apparently, the maps only show the generated portions of the world. So if you want the city to show on the map, you have to have MCeditted it there, then make a new server. D:

[BobbyTheCat]

Wow, that was quick. I'll get as soon as I get on the computer.

[MartenMadness]

Hey i asked multiple times to get in the server but without response.
how do i get in the server?

[The Colonel]

Hey i asked multiple times to get in the server but without response.

Even if you're whitelisted, the server needs to be updated.

[Aaron Anderson]

Hey i asked multiple times to get in the server but without response.
how do i get in the server?

I thought only members that had been around for some time were considered eligible to join the server, other than special exceptions as deemed by Ice Mario himself?

[King Gobi]

Guys playing ignorant and it shows he's not reading posts.

[CoolJosh3k]

Hey i asked multiple times to get in the server but without response.
how do i get in the server?

*sigh* *yawn*

First thing is to read and do what the first post of the main MineCraft Server thread says.

However, because you only just signed up so very recently, you will need to ask Ice Mario to get in. I suggest including some sort of proof you are trustworthy and not just here for the MineCraft server. The name of the person who referred you (or how you came across the RWP) would help a lot too.

[Spyke4995]

The first post of the Minecraft server thread, you mean.

[CoolJosh3k]

The first post of the Minecraft server thread, you mean.

Oh, yeah.

Whoops.

Thanks for catching that.

In other news...

MC 1.6.5

Just coming out this very hour.

Notch has not posted list of fixes yet though...

[GameMasterGuy]

Between the 1.6.4 update and 1.6.5, I randomly lost my iron sword when I killed a zombie. It still had half health and everything. Hopefully it gets fixed.

[Adam]

Yeah, I found that right clicking on stuff with something in hand causes that something to just...poof.

[BobbyTheCat]

Is anyone else getting lighting issues with the update?

[Kazooie-Tooie]

1.6.6 Update List (http://notch.tumblr.com/post/6035819427/minecraft-beta-1-6-6)

* Removed Herobrine

oh silly notch

[The Colonel]

Israphel > Herobrine

Herobrine doesn't have an Albino creeper skin!

[TRBB]

Who's Israphel and Herobrine?

[The Colonel]

Who's Israphel and Herobrine?

Israphel: Fictional main character of the really well-acted Yogscast Minecraft series: "Shadow of Israphel".

Herobrine: Ridiculous urban legend that he's Notches dead brother running around in peoples Minecraft saves.

[BobbyTheCat]

Who's Israphel and Herobrine?

Look up "BlueXephos". Start at either the "Shadow of Israphel" series or the original Minecraft series. Either one.

This is Herobrine: http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd271/Volane/herobrine.jpg

Obviously not real

[TRBB]

Sounds interesting, it's kinda like Slenderman, but for Minecraft, right?*

* Did not look it up and is going to bed now.

[The Colonel]

It's absolutely nothing like that at all...

[Adam]

It's absolutely nothing like that at all...

How is Herobrine not Minecraft Slenderman?

They both chill in the fog. They both attack out of no where. They're both creepy for lack of facial features (though Slendy's a bit more extreme).

I thought he was talking about Israphel. My bad.

[Adam]

Oh ok. I can't really think of a villain like Israphel. The whole situation Simon and Lewis are in is very well written and original.

[Isaac Clarke]

I looked up this Slenderman which lead me to a youtube series about him which now has me horrified. I'd say the main reason for this is because I watched alone in my room in the dark at 11:30 at night not knowing what to really expect. Either way the debut in the video creeped me out a lot. I'm too afraid to go back and watch it again because I'm thinking maybe its not nearly as scary as I remember it. I'll probably do that in the morning...if I sleep tonight. Thanks guys.

Eh, I hear that the newer stuff isn't very scary.

[Isaac Clarke]

http://everymanhybrid.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_6_-_Healthy_Eating

Just watch that video. Like I said, its probably not as scary as my mind is making it out to be, but I'm freaking out for the time being and that probably won't change for tonight at least. What creeps me out the most is the effects because they were surprisingly good for a youtube quality video.

EDIT: The whole scenario just creeps me out too. Just him appearing in a door way like that being all creepy and what not and then he closes the door, they go in after him, and he's gone. Just creepy.

we actually have a thread for slenderman

[Isaac Clarke]

we actually have a thread for slenderman

Oh that's funny. I think I'll go find it because I'm kind of derailing this topic anyway.

[TRBB]

Holy Sh*t, guys. He's real. I was just playing Minecraft a few hours ago and a saw some torches on a lone island that I havn't been to before. Man that's creepy.

[Adam]

Torches spawn sometimes.

[Aaron Anderson]

Who's real now?

[The Colonel]

Who's real now?

TRBB believes in Herobrine, the "Ghost of Minecraft".

Holy Sh*t, guys. He's real. I was just playing Minecraft a few hours ago and a saw some torches on a lone island that I havn't been to before. Man that's creepy.

Pics? Or a video of you exploring the island, maybe?

[Aaron Anderson]

Ever since I upped to 1.6(.6) there's been a curious lack of hostile mobs.

[The Colonel]

Looks like Notch has decided to make the game easier for some people. :P

[Adam]

That's strange. I get PLENTY.

[BobbyTheCat]

Torches spawn sometimes.

Is this a bug?

[Adam]

No. They're just there from time to time. It may be programmed as "Herobrine", but it's extremely doubtful that there's any kind of mob placing them.

[BobbyTheCat]

Scary. That may be what Notch meant when he said he removed Herobrine. Or maybe he was just saying that.

[The Colonel]

There should be a mod that makes Herobrine start running around your world. :D

I mean, people have already programmed Minecraftians who build whole towns. (See: Millenaire, YATC)

[Spyke4995]

There is a hostile player mob in the game, called 'Monster'. But it's there from game tests.

[BobbyTheCat]

So it doesn't come up in the actual game?

[Aaron Anderson]

Seriously, I haven't encountered a creeper in ages. Maybe it's a bug?

[Adam]

It's not a bug. I was recently raped by 5 of them.

It was a

*puts on sunglasses*

Gang Bang.

Yeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! I guess I just live in a pleasant location right now.

Or maybe you're just incredibly ****ing lucky.

Did you check the difficulty setting?

[Aaron Anderson]

Certainly not that, it's on hard level, I think it's just my location.

Are those turrets?

Also, what texture pack is that? It looks great.

[Aaron Anderson]

I think this is the texture pack: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/235400-16x08clearcraft165/

And those are sentry turrets, they're pretty OP.

This is the little wooden fort I built to begin with, at least a small part of it.

That castle is ****in' awesome.

Loving those flags.

[Aaron Anderson]

I fixed my mob problem, somehow, by switching down to Peaceful then back to Hard.
Anyway, more screenies!

Wow, that's so cool.what mods are you using?

Um, IIRC I'm using
-SDK's gun mods
-Kerik's Koi fish mod
-Barbed Wire mod
-Many of DJoslins mods
-Wireless Redstone mod
-Moare AI's Logical gates

And a few mods to add in more hostile mobs to shoot at :D

Edit: After countless wasted hours of my a life and after a stupendous amount of dirt shifting, I present this sneak preview of my next Minecraft build.

[BobbyTheCat]

Oh my god. That looks incredible. I want to play in it so much. Will you be doing gruntys lair?

[King Gobi]

I shat bricks.

[Aaron Anderson]

I might do the whole damn lair and see if I can fit the levels in as well. Or I might be too lazy.

I just want to point out that Canary has updated so... yeah.
