Late night for Notch

Aaaah feeling lazy, copy-paste time.

Looong Monday

It’s 11:35 pm and I got home not long ago. Today was spent mostly with working on server-side inventory. I ran into some problems with an earlier assumption that all popups would be simple containers, so I had to move some code around to make it popup centric rather than container centric. Each popup can have multiple viewers now, which is nice. Primarely it will be for multiplayer, but later on it can be used for AI or Modding as well.

Jens and Daniel also stayed late today. Daniel did a bunch of support and worked on the ThinkGeek thing (a press release is coming, woo!), and Jens worked on some gui stuff and language support for Minecraft.

We hope to get the website updated within a few days. This will be some minor prettification, and we’ll start selling the gift codes. Codes bought before beta will count as Alpha codes no matter when they’re redeemed, so you can use those for xmas gifts.

Official merchandise!

Yesterday Notch announced that there now are official Minecraft merchandise.

You can find them HERE, and he is also telling us that there are more stuff coming up later on!
(if you can't find the products, just search for "Minecraft", duh?)

OH! and there is only one week left of the texture pack competition along with webhallen.

Lack of time due to exams

I've got an exam to do on friday so I don't have alot of spare time for minecraft until that's done.

Though I have done one minecraft related thing today. I'll let the video below speak for itself!



I will make a "how to install and play" guid/tutorial later tonight or someday soon.

Good news for forumers!

Today a few new moderators have been introduced to the official forum community. Apparantly they have been in service for a day or two but it's not until now that they have been officially announced.

The new moderators are

• MrQuizzles 
• Neodymius 
• Theicychameleon 
• Gaaraxebeard 

And I herby welcome them with open arms since the Minecraft forums really could use some more people cleaning it up. Especially now that people are making beta threads like there is no tomorrow.

Also! The christmas competition is coming to an end, or it's still a few days left but it's closing in fast!

If you haven't read about the competition you can do it by following the link to the left.

New clock is uploaded

Here is the new clock generator.

New clock generator

Two days ago a friend of mine told me about this new kind of clock generator that he had hear of/seen that didn't use NOT-gates(inverters) to make the delay and keep the signal going ON/OFF. Instead you use minecarts and a pendulum motion that makes the cart go over a preassure plate once or twice every cykle.

I have the designs set up so I just have to record the tutorial and upload it.

Basic logic gate tutorial series

Today I've uploaded the first in my series with the basic logic gates. It is a tutorial for the beginners with barly no experiance of redstone at all. I will go through one gate in each video and try to keep it short and simple so anyone can understand it.

So here is the first video, the tutorial of the NOT-gate.
