Minecraft

I have learned to master carts.... now not only do I have carts capable of perpetual motion, I use this system to allow myself just a second of time on a main track to select the direction I want on a switch.... then the perpetually moving cart comes along and pushes me on my way... it is kinda hard to explain, and doesn't work on the server sadly, minecarts are still really glitchy in multiplayer. but in single player they wok awesomely.... unless a pig cow chicken or any monster really step in front of them, I have been trying to build it so they cant though...

Discovered boosting, huh?
I find it easier to have the destination preselected ahead of time using a redstone mechanism than to have to hit switches on the fly.

but that is just it, I made a machine so I can stop take a second to hit the switch and then be on my merry way. It is awesome, though still has some bugs, working it out a little.

Oh, so you're using a brake pad. I thought you were just hitting it as you sped along.
 
So something went wrong and I no longer have my Worlds.
However, I've set up my own SMP server, working on getting the ports right. Wanting to make a town/village, will be starting that soon.
 
Bumping to say that I got the server up and working.
If anyone wants to come help build anything, PM me for the IP.
 
Oh snap! When playing SMP you now take damage. With that you can kill the animals.
Much better.

Edit 1: ... well *censored.3.0* that. Peaceful... Creeper... Blows my *censored.2.0* up.
No hiss, no nothing. Blew a whole in storage.

Edit 2: Making sure it was set to peaceful, I go through the rotation and put it back so.
I look around don't see anything.. I leave to investigate.
I'm taking damage with nothing around me! The enemies aren't visible. (Cows and chickens etc. are still there.)

After posting that I did. All sorted now, server going up now anyway.
 
I had a 9 hour car ride today. So naturally I booted up Minecraft and built a massive sphere for an hour or 2. I'm finishing up the corners now, but I'll post it later.
 
right. so i caved and got minecraft finally.

trying to wrap my mind around how redstone switches work, but i'll learn. found a few diamonds, and two bundles of redstone dust, just exploring this big cave that happened to be under the first cave I setup for surviving the night.

what have I gotten myself into?
 
Tremble before it. Tremble.
