That rain sound effect sounds more like peeing into a toilet than rain.

Well, given some of the other sound effects already in the game (I'm looking at you, spidey), I can't even begin to hazard a guess where or how he records (or acquires) the sound clips.

Dunno if it's been posted, but here's a documentary on Notch, Minecraft and his newly founded company:

I don't know what the heck happened but my game is less stable then the first time I played it on early alpha, Java crashes by the seconds, I want to start a new SP world but what I get are black screens every 10 seconds of game...

I have no idea what's going on, I was playing a couple of nights ago and it all went fine...

I thought it would be a good idea to build in the caverns....It certainly was a good idea at the time. All the stone I can get my hands on, coal coming out my ass, ready access to iron and gold.

But they keep moaning. I can hear them through the walls, following my footsteps. I can only light up so much of the caverns. Yesterday, I thought I saw one of them coming at me from the darkness. I didn't even stop the make sure, I just ran.

There a demons down here, horrible monsters that take the form of man. But they are not men. For now, I can only hide in my fortification, making small forays to light the caverns. They seem to fear the light. Even though the torches give off little of it, the creatures down in these hellish caverns fear the light like the unconquerable Sun back on the surface.

I took some screenshots in the server:

I can't make out any of those. They're way too dark.

I can see them fine. Perhaps you're monitor's brightness is low?

No they're just dark. Try waiting til day/putting up proper torches if you want people to see stuff

I know they're dark but they're still visible.

I can vaguely distinguish shapes, but that's about it, and my monitors brightness is all the way up.

I'm not sure if you guys would know a solution but for some reason I can't stay on a Multiplayer server for more than at most a minute before it disconnects me. Do I need to white-listed first, is there something I have to download first? I really like Minecraft but single player's getting a bit old and I really want to get into the multiplayer scene.

any explanation would greatly appreciated.

also, would I be able to join the BGSF forums Server? or are their rules about people joining?

WAIT, I just joined a random Multiplayer server, AND I DIDN'T CRASH!

that's great, I wonder if Beta 1.4 fixed it for me.
anywho, am I elegible to join the BGSF forums? Am I allowed to ask that here? or should I consult an admin of the server about that?

I have been crashing a lot lately too, especially when I try to open chests. :shrug:

I think you are eligible. You can ask Mrtankjump, Bonemonster, or Undone to whitelist you. They will need to know your Minecraft name to do that, though.

are you guys playing on far render distance? if so try turning it down to Normal, I crashed like that when I first got it because I played on Far

and to the above, thanks

I re-shot the photos hopefully they're more visible this time, I'm sorry for the last ones, I also made some changes so it works out.

Everybody has their own render distance in multiplayer. One person's doesn't affect anyone else's.

So yeah, just post your Minecraft name here and one of the admins should be able to whitelist you.

Also, if you crash trying to join a server, generally it's the server's fault, not yours. Our server tends to be very stable most of the time.

okay, thanks, my Minecraft name is Hagashager, yes, with a capital H

Yes I do have it on far render distance, next time I play I will set it down. Thanks for the tip. :thumbsup:

So, I just downloaded http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=29164 and started work on a city, finished a large tavern/hotel and a few houses, plus a watchtower. I'll probably upload some screens eventually when more has been built, nothing really interesting right now except the textures, which can be seen in the link anyway.

I wasn't sure about the textures at first, they certainly look great, but I was worried it would take away some of the charm of Minecraft's style. I was wrong, I'm loving this, some of it takes a bit of getting used to like the paintings, basically there are less actual paintings, but many other things such as notice boards, banners, shields, swords, pots and pans etc. Even ventilation grates So to sum it up, I'm very happy with it, and I'll be looking into more graphical mods i think. I play minecraft mainly to build stuff and this makes my town look that much nicer, plus the flavour items to hang on walls are cool, having all paintings everywhere was a bit out of place if you ask me.

Now if only there'd be some furniture released besides beds, there's a mod for it but it's relatively unstable so I've stayed away for now. Seems the mod community is very busy though and I'm looking forward to seeing what cool stuff they come up with next.

Awesome. Just awesome.

Undone says you're on the whitelist now.

You are on the white list now.

:celebration:

....ninja'd :toughninja:

Anyone know how to make 64x64 texture packs work?

I think the problem is Java but im not sure.

Ignore me. Having I really bad day apparently.

The link I posted above requires a utility that enables you to use 32x32 textures, not sure about 64 though, the one I use is 32 and looks great though.

I only wish the wooded planks texture was slightly different, it looks a bit strange on fences and in general really. I like the colour, but not the detailing on it. The rest is good though, I noticed some weird stuff with glowstone, but I'm not sure if that's a bug or just a bad texture.
