No time!

School takes up ALOT of time theese days... have a deadline coming up. No. Time. For. Minecraft... CRAP!

Beta 1.3

If you read my post yesterday you probably have understood that the Beta 1.3 patch is out!

Here a copy-paste from Notch's blog.

* Implemented a new lighting engine with the help of MrMessiahs (can be turned off)
* Changed the options around, added a new “Graphics options” button
* Added beds. If all players in a map sleeps in a bed during night, the game immediately skips until morning
* Added three new half-size blocks
* Added Delay/Repeater redstone dust blocks
* Added whitelisting to the server. To use, enter “whitelist ” where cmd is “on”, “off”, “add ”, “remove ”, “list” or “reload”
* New save file format, old maps need to be converted (that might take a while..)
* It’s now possible to have more than five save slots, and to rename saves
* Scrollbars in both the texture pack list, and in the map selection screen
* Replaced the Mojang splash image to reflect the new logo colors
* .. and a bunch of bug fixes and tweaks!

Redstone Repeater block

Okey so today the Beta 1.3 was launched, earlier then I had expected!

And here is a tutorial video of the new redstone repeater block!

Minecraft on iPad and iPhone

I know this is yesterdays news but I couldn't post them yesterday since I am sort of babysitting my two cousins. Yesterday we went to see Djurgården beat the crap out of Frölunda in ice hockey, the final score was 5-1 to Djurgården.

On to the news!

within a year, you will be able to play minecraft on your iPhone and iPad. If you got the i-version of the game you will not get every update that will come out. Rather you will get the updates that are neccessary for yur platform.

First I saw this on the swedish gaming site www.fz.se and later on the swedish newspaper Aftonbladet made an article about it as well.

There have also been atleast one tweet about it yesterday from the Mojang crew so it is "confirmed" and official.

Working!

The server is working again!

We are currantly online and working on it!

Khaaaaan!

Hello peeps!

We might have figured out a way to get the server map back in working condition!

A friendly soul posted a comment here on the blog and told me/us how you could fix it. A friend, MedicAtk, has done the things you had to to and tried it on singelplayer. And it worked perfectly! Next step is to send the file back to the guy hosting the server and keeping out fingers crossed that it works on the SMP as well.

Set backs

We had 2 major set backs on the project yesterday.

#1 The server got a power failure which made the world save corrupt. So if we can't fix it, we have to use a backed up world that is 7 days old.

#2 One of the guys I am building with have heard rumors about someone else that already made what we are doing.

Heya!

Haya!

Short update of the project. There isn't much new to tell you, since we are only digging at the moment, and there isn't much to explain about digging I guess. But here is a nice picture of three of my mates working hard!

And I'm also editing a short video of the dig site as we speak that I'll upload some day soon.

We could not work anything on the project yesterday since the server went down and it is not up yet as far as I know.

Hockey!

I forgot there was Hockey on tv today that I had to watch. Derby between DIF and AIK in the Swedish Elitserien.
More updates coming tomorrow.

100.000 views on Youtube

You know what I just realized, I just reached my first 100k views on Youtube. This isn't very much compared to alot of other videos out there that get like several million views on each video. But for me, it's a milestone! and I'm proud of it!

I am also currantly uploading the looping video onto youtube. As usual something came in the way, today it was a stupid virus called System Tool that got on my laptop so I had to figure out how to get rid of that, and it took be a big part of the morning.

Also! More info about the project coming tonight! pics and perhaps a video.

Movie is made but not uploaded

Hey

Today I made the movie about the note block signal looping but I haven't upöoaded it yet. I played some HoN instead and my internet can't handle the upload speed of a HD video while playing a game... I'll upload it tomorrow morning.

And there were some progress in the project today as well, and some, I don't know if I would call it set backs, but there were some decisions that has to be made that we haven't really come to any agreement about. And cous of the greifers I can't tell you all about that either!

But here is a picture concerning one of the problems.

Another of my beautiful post-it drawings.

But as I said there were some progress as well, we've been mineing a bit, got a nice picture of that on my stationary computer, and we have also been draining a whole lake that happend to be in the way. So we have basicly filled the lake with gravel and sand (since they both fall to the bottom) and then we've dug it away.

Pictures and a small movie preview of this coming tomorrow.

New project

Hey!

I just thought I'd log on and give you all a sneak peak of my new project that I started up today. I'm not telling you exactly what it is just yet cous I know there are alot of greifers out there and I want to get a head start! hehe

Anyway, me along with 4 friends sarted working on it today. The first part is mainly clearing out an area that is big enough. Luckely, there was an area on the server where one of the guys I am working with had dug out alot of sand for some pyramids he made a few weeks back, and also a mine underneath so it's quite hollow.

The friends I'm working with are Varmkorx, MedicAtk, SNXbear and Mowlai, and I'm ofc RolfDavid

Here is a picture of MedicAtk clearing out some of the are that we are going to need. Mowlai is there to and blew up some shit with some of his spare TNT.

And since work was really slow today, I made some bad ass post-it drawings and calculations!

This project will be documentet as good as I can, with video recordings and screenshots along with too much text that you won't read.

Bad everything

Heya!

I truly suck at giving you the updates I promise you. I really though I should have time to record the movie earlier this week but as usual the school work takes longer then I think I will. If you estimate that something should take X hours to finish, multiply it by Pi and you'll get a more accurate number, hehe.

Anyway I am, I promise you, going to do the tutorial of the noteblock looping. Perhaps tonight when I get home from work, or early next week.
I am also planning an event, or rateher a competition, a spleef competition. I am going to bribe a friend to put my main save up on his server for one day so I can hold the competition there. It's going to be a ournament pool kinda this where the looser gets kicked out oof the competition and the winner get's to continiu.
And I am also planning/just started working on a new project, a BIG project along with atleast one friend on a SMP server, I sure hope no Creepers are gonna walk inside and blow it up. But more about that when I start record movies and take pictures to show you guys.

Anyway, I'm at work now so I probably should go and do some stuff now rather then sitting here with my laptop in my knee.

OaO

As always

Hehe as usual something get's in the way of me making and uploading a new video, today I had to drive my grandma to the hospital for some sort of eye sicknes that I don't know the english name of, atleast in Sweden it's called "Starr".

I'll do it tomorrow! I have the alarm set for 06:55.

And another thing! I've come up with a really cool (atleast in my opinion) idea!
Just need some time to start working on it...

00:34

It's half past 12 at night here in Sweden and I should be asleep by now since I have to get up, not to early, but early tomorrow to keep working on the beachelour. But tomorrow morning, after I've had a few pancakes for breakfast and a cup of coffee, I'll make a short tutorial of how I made the loops for the Breaking The Law note block song. That shouldn't take to long. A few minutes planning where to run and what to say and then a few minutes recording and then a few minutes using stupid movie maker to edit it (I really need another editing tool, or perhaps not... I have no idea really how to edit stuff).

And after that it's hard work work!

Sustainable Energy Systems

Anyone knows anything about biofuels? Jatropha, Algae and such?
Damn! me neither as it turns out...

I've been working on my Bachelour exam pretty much all day, with a lunch break that included todays episode of stargate SG-1.

But tomorrow morning I'll try to do the tutorial of how my loop in breaking the law note block song works.

Here listen to this, this is how my Paranoid version should have sounded like ^^

New contest

I currantly have two ALPHA accounts in my pocession that I bought just before Minecraft went into the BETA-phase. Simpy because they were cheaper and you were promised to get all future updates for free, which you are not with a Beta account...

I bought theese so that I could give/sell them to friends of mine that sometime would like to start playing minecraft. Though it seems that all of my friends that would consider playing it already is, hehe.

Therefore I have two accounts that I have no use for, ofc I am not going to just give them away, someone has got to work a little to get it.

But I can notk figure out what kind of competition to do, the last one was a creative ingame contest where you had to build something christmas-like. So I am not going to do anything like that this time...

I could really use your ideas out there, give me a suggestion of what you think the contest should be about (possibly something you are good at yourself?)

Tired

Shit I am tired.

The Super bowl ended like 04:00 swedish time, and I had the alarm set for 09:00, puh!
And the stupid Packers won, argh.

Anyway, I am the #53 most viewed swedish chanel on youtube today ^^ always something?

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

I've been working hard today.... no not really.

Acually half my day have been sitting on my ass drinking coffee and reading my AC/DC book. And the other half have been arguing with stupid and angry costumers... if they mess with me I mess back and show them the door.

So I was a work from 10:00 to 16:00 I had working hours to 17:00 but I could leave early cous there was nothing to do. You can't complain when you get one hours salary for free now can you?

Anyway, then I went home and ate dinner with my family and my grandma, something kalled "Kalops"

And now I am here sitting in bed watching The Super Bowl at 00:50 at night (Sweden for those who don't know) soooo there haven't been any minecrafting today!

Maybe tomorrow, if school doesn't take the whole day.

what now?

OKey so now that I have finished that stupid song, which have gotten alot of possitive responese, what should I do?

I've got two ideas of my own but none of them are new things really.

#1 Make a new bank, that is safer(some kind of code lock to enter and perhaps a code to be able to call for YOUR cart) and with more slots, and also some kinda failsafe so you can't call for two carts.

#2 Make a big ass minecart station where I implement all the things I know that can be useful. destination controls, storage for minecarts, dispencers... everything

And then I have had a request from a viewer on youtube that I should make a tutorial of how I make the signal only loop once in the Breaking the Law video.

I dunno... the requested tutorial is easy to make so I'll probably do that and one of the other ideas...

Paranoid!

Song

I have finaly finished the song!

Acually I finished it like 2 hours ago but I've had a little do do inbtween finishing it and being able to edit it and upload it.

But as we speak I am uploading it from my other computer, only a few percent to go now.  I'll make a post here as soon as it is finished and include the vid here.

I want a muffin

How bad ass isn't this guy?



The thing that sucks is that he died before I got old enough to understand what a great musican he was.

If anyone can make a decent Zappa song with noteblocks I'll build a freaking statue of you!

And also, I got a huge craving for muffins.

And also, remember not to eat the Yellow snow!
