Here's the coolest thing I've ever made (or ever will make) in minecraft.  The MiniMineCraft BioSphere:



A sphere filled with a miniature version of a Minecraft world!

A mountain, waterfall, beach, and ocean:



My two story house, with basement store room:



Waterfall and bridge over the river:



There are also catacombs leading deep into the lower half of the sphere:



Including the underground pool (waterfall leading down from ocean above):



And lava room at the base:

Has the server been reset/updated since the beta release?

Looks like there's a new mandatory server update out this morning.  I get the "Outdated Server" error when trying to connect now.  Hopefully it improves a lot of the bugs that have been going on.

* Working server-side inventory! Finally! (And as a result of that, a whole pile of bugs and issues got fixed)
* Made SMP servers save chunks way less often in most cases. Chunks don’t resave if they got saved in the last 30 seconds
* Moving too far away from a container, or having it blow up, closes the inventory screen
* Fixed /kill
* Introduced leaf decay again. It acts differently from before
* You can now throw eggs
* On a whim, added super exclusive clan cloaks for Mojang Employees
* .. and something else, which is even more rare

Beta=no more item duping?

Also unable to login last 24 hours. 

Wow, that was a hell of a walk!  Never seen such a big carto.  Cool.  :o

I've got my screenshots, so I'm good to go!  See you in the next world.

A gig?  Wowsers!   :o

I need to get in and get screenshots of my sphere before the reset.

Edit:  And ooh, ooh!  Can we have enemies next round?

I'd like to propose some kind of coordinated effort to make a coherent city this time.  Something like:



Just as a starting point.  But maybe it would be worth exploring a bit to find a better location for a settlement first.

Like, lets collaborate with sketches and planning in this thread or in chat and then work together to make something cool, rather than everybody jumping on their own projects?

Or we can just all jump on our own projects...

I do feel bad for VinceTwelve, though, as he was halfway done with his sphere

D'oh!  I was working on it, getting in a couple levels every couple of days.  Though, at the rate I was going, it would have been another 2 weeks before it was done.  Is there a way to zip up multiplayer worlds and use them as single player worlds?  That seems like it would work.  Wouldn't it?  Could we have downloads of abandoned worlds?

It was such an epic sphere... don't know what I would have done with it if it was finished, but it was still cool to look at.

And I kind of liked the challenge of having the monsters there while building (though I was always safe up in my sphere!)

Edit: For the record, I had laid somewhere around 13,000 cubes of glass so far!  (The full sphere would have been made up of over 27,000 and I was hovering close to half way)

Yesterday was the first time I had logged on in a while, but I had been peeking in at the cartos regularly.  I kept thinking, "man, nobody's making anything!" 

Am I crazy, or is cartographer mapping a totally different world?

The general accepted way to eat ramen

Prissy warning: language.

I agree so much with Snarky here.  I "ell oh vee ee" LOVED Veronica Mars and I'm really digging Terriers, partially for the Mars-ish vibe that I got from it from the very first episode.

OT: I quite enjoy Walking Dead so far, but it hasn't been quite what I want to see from a zombie TV show yet.  The pacing's been a bit off.  But it's just starting and it's still miles above most TV.

S.W.E.E.T.

Before:



Fill entire spire full of TNT (around 2500 blocks), wire up redstone detonator, flip the switch...



The remains of my roller coaster:





   


It's seemed pretty dead lately.  And we're probably due for a reset, yeah?  We really need some kind of unified project for the next round.  A darthville, or a mountain fortress, or a sci-fi dome habitat, or something.

Arboris and I were just walking around and suddenly came upon the same thing: a ghostly image of Arboris sitting in a boat motionless underwater!

I think the recent addition of "working" boats and mine carts has increased the instability.  I have, several times, suddenly found myself falling through the world or stuck in an endless grey while building my roller coaster.  (Which is super awesome, btw, and every one should go ride it!)

Me too.  I'm not sure if I'm VinceTwelve or vincetwelve, but probably the opposite of what you've got.

I'm toying with the idea of getting someone to help me program Resonance.  I don't know if I could trust someone with my baby, but the amount of free time I've had recently has greatly slowed progress.  If there's someone who is super-enthusiastic, excellent at AGS scripting, willing to work for ridiculously low sums of money, send me an email or PM.

You get to work on an awesome game (If I do say so myself) (And I do) and I'll pay (though, again, I can't offer much).

Definitely hoping for someone with proven AGS skillz like finished games or modules.

Mostly, you'll be implementing gameplay.  It's more complex that your average AGS game since it uses all kinds of custom systems (inventory, camera, character switching, dialog) plus has four playable characters.  I'll give you the room and graphics.  You put in all the "this guy walks here, does this animation, this happens" stuff.  You may also be importing sprites and putting them in views, etc.

If I find somebody, gravy!  If not, I'll keep slowly moving forward on mah own!

we need that whitelist set up.  There was some obsidian-related vandalism going on today.  tnitl is the suspect.  Boo.

Darthville 2.0 needs to straddle biomes, so the low-rent neighborhood can be constantly covered in snow, while the upscale kids bask in the sun.

I haven't been able to log in yet.  Got my update, though and the biomes look cool.  Haven't seen the nether yet.  Too bad multiplayer didn't get all fixed up yet.

Edit: Ok, started up a new world and hacked in a bunch of obsidian.  Started experimenting with gates.  Wound up making a gate in the Nether that popped me out right into a spider dungeon and died before I could get my bearings!  Awesome!

I've never seen it confirmed that Notch would have monsters and damage fixed for MP in the Halloween update.  Is that somewhere?  I hope he does.  If so, having everyone work together to build a sweet fort and fighting off the hordes (in both dimensions!) would be tons of fun.  But yeah... fall damage...
