i agree, but can't you use portals to "bookmark" the world as a way to mitigate this problem until notch implements beds or whatever?

Royal☭ · « **Reply #581 on:** November 02, 2010, 05:25:56 PM »

Boats, railways and portals seem to be multiple methods for branching out, really.

on that note, i was really hoping that portals would maintain momentum as you passed through so you could run minecart tracks through them, but oh well.

Can you set up a booster in Hell, or will it be destroyed?

I think it's safe to say that most things that are close to your position in hell would be destroyed in semi-short order.

i mean, either way, what i meant is that i was hoping you could ride minecarts through portals and out the other side, but not so much.

Building easy, crafting free
Powered cart on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride

Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, lava time
The ghasts are gonna be there too

I'm on the railway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me round

Hey pigman, paid my dues
Digging in a mining band
Hey creeper, look at me
I'm on my way to the nether land

I'm on the railway to hell
And I'm going down, all the way down
I'm on the railway to hell

There are materials that Ghasts can't destroy, and there are ways to limit their ability to spawn. You could harden a booster relatively easily - hardening the track itself is trickier, but Ghasts won't shoot if they can't see a person and won't shoot through glass. Minecart helltours could be very possible.

So, after about an hour of play the game is now eating up one gig of memory, and it crashes fairly frequently. Anyone else getting this problem?

JDigital · « **Reply #589 on:** November 04, 2010, 08:30:51 PM »

Let me tell you about my mine.

At the top of a hill, I built a cobblestone tower of 4 a side, 2x2 hollow inside, with the second layer from the bottom made of glass for vision. Above about five blocks the tower is dirt, since creepers can't make it up that high and I ran out of cobblestone. A diagonal tunnel inside the tower leads down as far as bedrock. The tunnel is five high, minus one for stairs, and lit by torches.

At the base of the tunnel it branches left and right. This is the main tunnel. Mining tunnels are dug every four blocks along the main tunnel on both sides. To prevent getting lost, the main tunnel has cobblestone floor and roof. A redstone torch is placed on the floor at the stairway.

A vertical shaft near the stairway leads upward. The pattern is repeated on every level, except that the mining tunnels are shifted along by two. This setup makes more blocks visible. The mining tunnels having three blocks between them means there's one row which isn't seen from the tunnel on either side, but you only miss seams that are no wider than one block and no higher than two blocks, so its' not that big a loss.

Up top, I realized I left no room for chests and built them outside. Then I used the stone to build a wall around it. This still left me vulnerable to arrows and creepers exploding my chests, so I built a great wall around the whole area and filled it with saplings and torches. I put a viewing platform on top of the tower and noticed it was within sight of my original base. Distinctive towers are useful landmarks.

New server release. Fixes the bugs that were introduced with the halloween update.

Would we have to start over on the Bronto Minecraft server to get hell working? Or is this just an unresolvable issue right now?

jsnlxndrlv · « **Reply #592 on:** November 05, 2010, 08:10:50 AM »

Unsolvable, at the moment. Hell doesn't work in any version of multiplayer, unless you start a hell-only server. Eventually portals to hell should work in multiplayer, as well as in-world connections from one server to another.

I'll update tonight.

Minecraft - Nether Adventure #1 (Halloween Update)

François · « **Reply #598 on:** November 05, 2010, 08:17:01 PM »

I wanted to test something that required a lot of stone and a large flat plain, so I loaded my snow world with the big fortress for the first time since the Halloween update, because it still had a crapload of big chests full of stone. I had never explored very far in it, so I could travel in any direction and get new biomes and stuff not too far from home. I'm beginning to sort out the tools I need and gather some materials, wondering in what direction I should start looking for a suitable location, when I realize my winamp playlist (2539 files) shuffled to Westers. I think, haha, maybe I should go west. But that's the sea. I'd probably have to go kind of a long way to get anywhere interesting. So I go north instead, across some mountains which will give me a good view.

The track ends. Winamp shuffles to Go West.

We'll find (We'll find) our promised land (Aah)

(I know that) There are many ways
(To live there) In the sun or shade
(Together) We will find a place
(To settle) Where there's so much space

Alright, dang, I get it. I start going west. A minute or so later, bang, large flat area; it's covered in trees, but that's not a problem fire can't handle. I explore the surroundings, and find a slight depression nearby, which turns out to be an open-air dungeon with two chests, one of which contains the first green record I ever got my hands on.

I... err... alright then!
