23, you can fill that with water and play blitzball in it. [append] -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

is there a way to raise water? everytime I try and do something like a moat the water only fills when I dig downwards across the length. Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

Minecraft's water handling is pretty annoying. Removing an island can lead to huge gaps in the water. Doing any kind of construction in water can leave you with annoying currents around partially filled tiles. Etc. -- |

I would say every single "algorithm" in the game is broken in some way. -- |

I have an urge to build a mob spawner, but for one thing they're ugly, and for another thing they're time-consuming. I put a water elevator into the entrance to my mine.

S'up mofo's, need more sand! Making a push to finish the bottom half before I go to Jamaica Saturday. Top half will be glass, so still need some sand to finish .... thankfully much less. -- |

I've got a few stacks of sand lying around. Where would you like them?

There's a chest directly under the biosphere. Thanks, dude. -- |

I don't know where the biosphere is. EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. Enjoy your sand.

I just accept the water on the assumption that it is the best algorithm they could use without compromising speed. Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

I don't think speed has much to do with any of the poor/broken algorithms. Does anybody else notice that lava doesn't seem to glow as bright in 1.5_01?

Anyone seem to notice that when a new user joins, it tends to lag everyone else out while that joining user pretty much causes the server to do nothing but send new blocks to the joiner? ie: the server seemingly has no idea how to properly handle more than one user at a time? Any other fancy features in the game don't much work half the time. And the only "bugs" that seem to get "fixed" are things like leaf decay. As if that really mattered that much. -- |

What's the a.cc Minecraft server IP (or resolving name)? --- |

raise it as a bug then, maybe they'll get time to fix bugs at some point rather than adding more pointless new additions. Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

The horrible lag has already been brought to their attention on numerous occasions. All they do is paper over simple bugs and ignore the bad ones. And of course add new features. -- |

Features are opium to the masses. I'd enjoy it too, but the lag is like a police officer keeping me from enjoying my opium. In capitalist America bank robs you. |

It's "beta" software. Typically, one stops adding new features and fixes bugs during a beta. If you want to add new features, break things left and right, and leave them broken until you feel like fixing them, then label it correctly. Notch just needs to grow up and recognize that this isn't a hobby anymore, it's his full time job. And as such, it requires doing things you don't want to do (fixing the hard bugs instead of adding new features). |

He doesn't really need to. He already has his money, there's no incentive to bother. |

Isn't the next release supposed to include a bunch of bug fixes?
