I have a question- how do servers and **** work? Can you continuously work on **** together or does it all get erased? Never really played multiplayer before.
It's basically a single-player map, except with multiple people. It's all saved and backed up (I think), and we've got a pretty nice town set up, along with some various other projects, like a Zelda-esque "dungeon" and a castle.

Woah, that's awesome. I would like to join in and set my *****in' house up in your town.
Andy's the one with the IP, so PMing him's the best bet.
It's up pretty erratically, though.

the downside of MP is that the server has to be up in order to work on anything, and since andy runs it off of his laptop it isn't on 24/7.
even while it's on, you have to bear with the fairly consistent lag since he's running it off of his laptop which isn't a gaming computer, and is still burdened with whatever he happens to be doing at the time.
if you remember how the tf2 server i hosted for like a week went, it's kinda like that. it's fine for 3/4 people, but once it gets more users, it's hardly playable. it's still good fun, though, and we've got some nice stuff setup, so worth a connect if you just wanna see for yourself. (though it's mainly been andy and jack)

I say, chunk errors in SMP are pretty cheap.
1 - Easy way to find Diamond, just dig your way down there.
2 - But thats a good thing for some people.
3 - And its pretty much cheating you're doing that just to find diamond. : >

and so it begins.
i started fresh yesterday or the day before, feels weird even though i only got it a month or so ago
So I would sincerely be glad if someone can help me out on what I am doing wrong...
I made a trap of water flowing into lava overhanging on ladders... it kills monsters, but they don't seem to drop loot.... what am I doing wrong here?

If you're watching sheep go in, they don't drop wool from dying only from being hit. If it's all mobs.. I have no idea.

It wasn't sheep, I got a few zombies a creeper a couple skeletons and a couple spiders dead in it, but nothing from them :/
May be I was just unlucky.. I will try leaving it on..
edit: It appears it did work ... but I almost got nothing before a creeper went and blew up, I was just going outside to check on things and he was right by the door... didn't kill me, but it busted some blocks near the lave... the change in its flow killed me... :/ I will try cacti instead may be... does that work? Or one of those drowning traps...

Cacti work, I had one before. Drowning may be a bit better.. good luck
Could also be a problem of the items going into the lava and burning. If you use lava traps it's usually a good idea to wall off the lava so creatures can't actually get in it and the items don't burn when the creature dies.
Drowning traps seem to work the best imo. Maybe add some cacti for extra painfulness.
