    Bukkit's lack of updates are driving me crazy :P Want powered rails now! :D

    What's sad is this wouldn't have really bothered me as much if it were 1.4. Wolves suck ass and 1.4 didn't really add anything else of great significance.

    Well apparently now when ever I try to use a tool or punch something (take any kind of action really) the game just freezes and crashes. Re-installing seems to fix it...but then the crash bug just comes back again.

    Whee.

    Black screen? Error?

    Client just locks up, then after a few seconds CTD's. Initially this only happened after I installed a texture pack - I ran the game after without one on default and it was fine. Later installed a TP again and it ran fine, after closing and re-opening of the client the game started to crash again.

    So guessing this might just be linked to the texture pack (john smiths v7.1).

    I'd try it without for a while.

    1.5 changed a lot of server code. Plus powered rails are sorta a meh. I still prefer Minecart mania.

    Just tried running Misa's 64x64 which was supposedly updated to work with 1.5, it still crashes the game every time I try to place a block.

    This is getting stupid.

    A quick google search shows I'm not the only one getting this bug with textures since 1.5 release.

    Lame.

    If you are still running 1.4 and you are using Bukkit, you owe it to yourself to check out Minecart Mania. Most of its features are split into separate mod files, so if there is a particular feature you don't like (e.g. Autocart) you can just leave it out.

    I am, completely deleted Minecraft both SP and Server and reinstalled from scratch so it's using the new launcher for the game.

    Not my server, and the owner doesn't like to install too many crazy mods (wants to keep it close as possible to regular MC)

    So I see the main PA server has been down... Are there any servers people recommend? I'm more build-oriented and would like to find a place I can help build a town or other interesting structures. I don't mind PvP, but any PvP map I join shouldn't be JUST PvP.

    I have also run into crashes from texture packs, though on block destruction instead of on start up. I use Minecrafter to install mods. It hasn't been updated in a while but I had zero problems through 1.4.

    Minecrafter's HD Fix has the following options:
    Animated Water
    Animated Lava
    Animated Fire
    Custom Water
    Custom Lava

    I have found I can turn on all of these except for custom lava, though I did not check custom lava without animated lava.

    Strangely I did not have crashes right away after 1.5. It may have only started after 1.5_01.

    I have never had good luck with automated mod installers; I always end up blackscreening if I do so much as install ModLoader. I prefer to do my own manipulation.

    That's why I like Minecrafter. It's both easy to use and has a fine level of control. All changes are temporary, reverting to a stock minecraft.jar on exit or crash. Diagnosing a problem is easy, removing files from a mod package until it stops.

    Minecrafter is made of magic and joy.

    You could check out the PA SE++ server. Its a survival PvE server, but after playing for a bit mobs arn't much of a threat. We have multiple towns people have built and or are building right now so If you want to come look around feel free to do so. Just send me a PM with your minecraft name asking to be whitelisted and the thread is here.

    I know I'm totally plugging the SE++ server but if you want you can come play with us. We are a survival PvE server and stick pretty close to basic minecraft. The thread is here and if you want to be whitelisted then just send me a PM.

    I built the trunk out of trees I had already chopped down, constructed branches, threw some dirt/saplings on top of them, then used bonemeal to make everything grow.

    It's hollow on the inside, filled with furniture and such.

    Not enough space. Rip it up, throw down log blocks till about roof level then a dirt block and replant it. When it sprouts just swap the dirt block for another log and you'll have a nice looking tree.

    Righto, thanks.

    I wish there was a way to fiddle with terrain generation settings - I adore the world I've managed to get, as it's an almost Wind Waker-like bunch of isolated islands with large expanses of water inbetween, but the longer I wander the sooner the generated terrain will look like the boring usual land. BiomeTerrainMod is broken since the update (like every mod, goddamn it Notch where is that modding API?), and there's no in-game way to change them. I've heard rumours that Notch is looking into that, but there's nothing for now, and even if it was I wouldn't expect anything to come of it for several months at best.

    Soartex. I really like it, because it gives everything the detail of an HD pack whilst still giving a relaxing and smooth look that most HD textures don't.
