Tiny funny things

This is funny! I love it.

EDIT: The overload isn't funny, but the fact that the creeper has found the server is.

Bug update number 3

The client version is now 1.2.4
The server version is now 0.2.6 (mandatory update, there’s been protocol changes)

Bug fix list:

* Swords and other weapons now deal damage properly
* Added proper hurt animations and sounds to mobs and players
* Fixed dead players logging in as invisible ghosts
* Made arrows visible and deal damage
* Hoes now produce proper seeds
* Creepers make noises and animate before exploding
* Explosions animate properly
* No more infinite free arrows
* Server logging now appends to server.log rather than overwriting it
* Buttons and levers (and a few other blocks probably, it’s a general solution) animate properly
* Fixed minecarts (and pigs!) moving twice as fast as they should when ridden.
* The join server screen now remembers the last entered ip
* Increased chunk saving frequency on the server
* Leaving sneak mode no longer triggers a million sounds
* You can now see sneaking players
* Names of sneaking players aren’t visible through walls, and are visible a much shorter distance
* Snowballs!!

I’ll monitor for bugs for a while, then head home!

[edit:]

Server 0.2.6_01 no longer gives everyone 64 snowballs on connecting

[edit:]

Server 0.2.6_02 and client 1.2.4_01 now spawn other monsters than ONLY CREEPERS EVERYWHERE

"The join server screen now remembers the last entered ip" sounds really good to me since I was really annoyed by that in the past, but no more!

Modding

Puh I'm tired! I've been up since 04:00 today, freaking nightmare.

Anyway I've seen some interesting mods lately. I haven't used any of them since I belive that it could ruin the game for me, sort a like an addiction, that I will not be able to stop using them since it could make the game to comfy. But for thoose who can hadle it, here are a few interesting:

Kingbdogz mod
Is a mod which acually adds content to the game instead of just changeing things that are already in it. How about a lava bomb or a bunch of new dusts that you can craft things out of!

Named + endless worlds

How would you like to have an unlimited amount of world saves to play on! and me able to give them names instead of the usual "World 1", "World 2" and so on. 

In-game item editor

Do you use item editors while playing and building big stuff? tired of having to leave the game and perhaps even shut it down to duplicate items? No more with this mod! Here you can do it all while you are in game.

CheffCraft

With this mod you will become cheff Ramsey himself! 

Bug and idea-tracker!

Notch and his fellow companions is probably tired of everyone spamming the SSP forum with everything from errectal problems to a spanish chick claiming to own the sun. And inbetween thoose two there are alot of people posting bugs and idea in the SSP forum aswell, which doesn't belong there and makes the forum really messy.
It will probably be easier for them aswell to see what people want fixed and implemented in the game.

This new thing is the Bug and idea-tracker at Get Satisfaction.

Just make sure you are in the right part of the webpage, there are four different sections. "Ask a question", "Share an idea", "Report a problem" and "Give a praise". Post in the right section or this page will be as messy as the forum!

I am your father

I just found this picture out there while looking up new cool minecraft stuff. There is always someone making something new and neat out there!

Sure alot of the blocks are most likely hacked into the game, but I belive that this kinda pixelart is so spectacular that I can accept that people hack.

Acually, I don't mind at all if people use hacks, mods or such. It's their game and they can play it however they want.

Minecart control panel

For all of you out there that like to build minecart stations, here is a control palen circuit that is very compact!
Space is always a problem for me when building things, since I am not planning much when I start building I often end up with circuits that are way bigger then they have to be.

But HERE you have a really compact circuit for a multi-destination control.

This is how compact it is. Most of the wireing is underground here but the cut through chematics looks like this.

Problems with the Craft-sites

Is there anyone but me that is having problem accesing the big minecraft sites?

I can load the Official site and Notchs blog, but I can't load the wiki, the forums nor crafthub for some reason. DDOS attack again?

EDIT: Crafthub is back up (if it ever were down), and I think I could be because that they have recently changed server host.
