I finished my minecart track, and am about to make it obsolete with a safe walkway through the nether. :)

1.7 seems to be out. I don't know what's in it besides pistons but it's live.

I like the ides of the cosmetic appearance of pistons. I see some steampunk-themed constructions in my future ...

EDIT: Boo hoo, out of date server. :'(

Shows you the detail behind it and some of the other new stuff - sheers for cutting leaves and sheep, you can stack fences and put torches on them, smash tnt without them blowing up, etc.

I've excavated a large room right near bedrock, and I still haven't found any slimes. What more do I need to get them to spawn? I need sticky pistons, dammit!

It' not lit, is it?

Febreze (and other air fresheners actually) is just below perfumes/colognes, and that's just below dead skunks in terms of smells that offend my nose.

It's lit with a few glowstone blocks and a couple hundred torches.

Edit: Apparently slimes only spawn in roughly 1 out of every 10 chunks, so I have to keep digging until I find a chunk that slimes will deign to spawn in. >:(

From the wiki:

They can spawn in any light level and lighting does not affect its spawn rate. However, lighting up the surrounding area does decrease the chances of non-slime mobs spawning and thus indirectly increases slime spawning rates.

So get torch-happy. :)

EDIT: Well my connection from home to the server is much better now, so I did some underground exploration, got some iron, made some buckets, and hauled up a portal's worth of lava. My portal leads to a "base" in the Nether, which leads back to town. So I guess I have a shortcut now. :)

Fixed in 1.7.2 however.

O________________________O

EDIT: According to the YouTube comments it's still bugged in 1.7.2. I can't verify because slimes refuse to spawn for me.

When are most people on? I just now figured out where the new server is, I've been trying to connect to baf's all this time :-X.

EDIT: Also, could someone re-op me so that I can use the list command? (I don't know why it isn't a public command :P)

I'm on pretty randomly and rarely myself.

EDIT: I used this site to successfully track down some Slime spawns and get some Slimeballs. Sticky piston in hand, I tried the "money printer" glitch above and for the record, it works on all three track types (made a big stock of powered tracks since I never find any gold :(). Also works on making more pistons. :)

Oh, I don't think I've posted my self-repairing bridge yet, have I?

Hey, that's a clever way to generate cobblestone. :)

You could make an infinitely long bridge with that...

Except that it will only extend up to 16 blocks. I'm sure there could be a mod to increase that, but it would require additional processing.

I think it's twelve blocks, actually. I vaguely recall reading that number somewhere.

If you lift 9 squares with a water in the center, does the water lift too?

I'm pretty sure water just gets destroyed, but I'm not sure about this specific case.

Hey, how can you figure out the seed number of a world, and can the server's be posted? I want to figure out where the slimes spawn ...

I made a little secret passage (as a test, obviously, it doesn't lead anywhere :P) activated by two redstone torches.

Is everything OK with the minecraft server? I connected today, did some stuff, then disconnected. When I reconnected, I appeared where I was when I had disconnected yesterday, with only the items I had yesterday. It's as if nothing I did today actually registered with the server. ???

I had a similar experience. I returned to the position I had previously disconnected from as well, with my previous inventory. Changes I had made to the world remained though.

Edit: it's still happening, so if you have any items in your inventory that you don't want to vanish, put them in a chest. They'll be safe there.

Apparently there's a new update out. Hopefully it fixes whatever's causing this glitch.

And it also removes item duplication bug. Hope I find some slimes before I run out of my stock of sticky pistons...
