Diaper_Me Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Does anyone else on here play Minecraft? I was thinking about starting an AB/DL server, but thought I'd check on here first to see if someone else already had one going... or if anyone else even plays. Here's a link to the website if anyone is interested... http://www.minecraft.net Link to comment
Impulsive Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I play minecraft ... a ab/dl server sounds interesting ... Link to comment
DL88 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I've played it in the past, and playing a little at work. It is a fun game to create. Link to comment
ForbiddenFruit Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I should be getting it within a week. Link to comment
AutieAB Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 *bump* Just started playing this past week or so. There were loads of things I was supposed to do but damn, this game is more addictive than crack, I'm sure... Spent the afternoon building this little hideyhole in the cliff. It's the product of maybe 2 hours work so it's definitely not finished yet but the stairs run from the door on the left up the cliff-side to a big open plan room at the top. It's positioned so that you can look out of that big window and watch the sun rise over the trees and the sea As a matter of pure luck, just behind where I'm stood there was a small hole. I went down and found my first huge cave system. It had a dungeon, underground rivers, masses of passageways (haven't explored it all yet). Oh, and a crapload of sssssssssscreepers . I almost flooded it by mistake when I put that waterfall in Link to comment
spectrumshade Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 This reminds me of Second Life ^.^ Link to comment
AutieAB Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 This reminds me of Second Life ^.^ with the exception that it's actually good Link to comment
ForbiddenFruit Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Been playing on and off for a while, trying to figure out how I'm supposed to mine cliff faces without just building a tower. There HAS to be something better than a stairway! Oh, and by the way, you know the thing in the 'new world' screen, where you enter a seed? Put difficulty on 'peaceful', put 'gargamel' into the seed section. Search the cave for an exit. Climb out. Look around. Have fun. Link to comment
AutieAB Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Put difficulty on 'peaceful', put 'gargamel' into the seed section. Wow that's immense. That'll be the seed for my next world sorted then Link to comment
Squidgy Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Brilliant game, and just keeps getting better! I started playing it earlier this year and stopped due to work, only recently started again. Glad to see Pistons + other stuff is now available without modding. I've played the gargamel seed in single player survival mode without any mods or "cheats" for about 30 hours in total, created a spacious and safe multi-level cave/house in the mountain that you initially spawn under. I'll probably add screenshots to my gallery at some point. And I am by no means a Minecraft expert; on a scale of 1-10 my skill is probably 2, but I created this earlier.. Thinking about creating more things like a crib, maybe add a secret virtual ABDL room to my cave since I can't have one in RL So yeah if anyone wants to start a server I'd be interested Link to comment
AutieAB Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Just spent an hour or so building in a far-flung part of my SSP (legit) world Most of the time was spent chasing sheep about the place Next step is to stick a bunch of sticky pistons and a crapload of redstone on a timer circuit behind the paci ...... [edit] Some time later..... Heheh Apologies for the crappy video quality, doing this on the laptop which creaks to run MC at the best of times, let alone when I'm doing video capture at the same time I ain't no redstone person either so it's not timed perfectly or anything like that...

Mama Melody Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I play, not regularly. SO fun though. Love the smiley you made though! Link to comment
newreno_3 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Did we ever get a server going? Link to comment
BigKidNKY Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Did we ever get a server going? I have been considering starting a server for AB/DLs, whitelist and invite only. I have resources available to run it - how many are interested? The biggest problem I have though is deciding how best to manage it though. I really would want us to be able to benefit from all of the 1.0 features, but Bukkit is not available for 1.0 yet so installing permission management and anti-grief measures is not really much of an option. Anyone have any thoughts? We want to protect the server from bad guys, and a white list is a great start, but pretty much anyone could sign up for a DD account and request access. Maybe require someone have their DD account for a long time and/or have participation in the forums? Link to comment
newreno_3 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I would totally be up for it, but I do think that even people who have been on the forums for a long time could still be a childish Minecraft player. Still would be nice though! Link to comment
ForbiddenFruit Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 What's the catch in server setup? Link to comment
AutieAB Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 My Minecraft ID is easy as pie to link to my real-world ID so I'd have to invest in a second account before I could join an ABDL server (dammit Mojang, implement name changes already). That said, I'd definitely be interested in a small, quiet and close-knit server. I don't play SMP much at all because of all the stupid kids who love to build penises out of obsidian and spout off in chat about what they did to your mother last night . I'd like to change that... I doubt there can be more than 10 or so active Minecraft players on this forum (this thread isn't exactly long and it's nearly a year old) so griefing shouldn't really be a problem so long as the server admin keeps track of who is who (keep track of forum names <==> in-game names), ban any trouble makers and name-and-shame them on here. That's plenty small enough to keep the server whitelisted and the IP semi-secret... Which is a good thing - I can think of a few 'well known' griefing crews who would leap all over an ABDL server were they to learn of it's existence. Link to comment
AutieAB Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I haven't played Minecraft in a good while due to my main computer breaking down and unfortunately my netbook can't handle it On a netbook you might be out of luck anyway but have you considered installing OptiFine? It's a mod that seriously increases performance by fixing the crappier and slower parts of Mojang's code. It's the only way I can play on my laptop - frame rate goes up from about 3 on short view distance to a playable 20 or so on far view distance. Link to comment
ForbiddenFruit Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Don't you mean 'Optimine'? I'm quite sure that came with one of Notch's 'updates' (lol). Link to comment
baby jessy Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 is there a server up? if not i can put one up. Link to comment
AutieAB Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It used to be OptiMine. Then the guy who made it also created OptiFog which changed how the fog affected performance. Then they got merged together and became OptiFine. It's definitely a mod though (see link) - Mojang ain't ever gonna implement it in the main code as far as I can see... Link to comment
AutieAB Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 OK, I've created a server on an entirely experimental, test basis. It's pure vanilla so please play nicely. I make no guarantees whatsoever... If it goes down while I'm out or asleep, oh well... If it lags, sorry... If somebody wants to put something more stable/permanent and faster online, don't let this little exercise stop you. Server version: 1.0.1 (supports 1.0.0 clients) Max connected players: 5 (we'll see if I can support more if we need to) Game Mode: Survival PVP: Off for now unless people would prefer it on? Monsters: On! At the moment it's not white-listed but if we have any problems with people being annoying, it will be. Get the server address here. You need to enter the address exactly as shown, including the port. Please don't spread the server address beyond this forum, thanks Spawn is a clearing in a forest. The area inside the torches is protected and you can only build outside of it. I built a little log cabin with a bed, bench and furnace near spawn if you need it. I also put what was left of the wood from the clearing in a chest in there along with what bits and bobs I had left after building the hut. There's also a pig sitting in the top of the tree over your left shoulder as you join for some reason. I think it's watching you. I've got a lot of stuff to do today but I'll drop in from time to time... Link to comment
ForbiddenFruit Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 sorry, but, uh, what's survival mode mean? I don't know the differences between all the modes. Haven't played in months. Link to comment
AutieAB Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Survival: Where you have to collect items yourself, and craft them into stuff to make things (the normal way of playing the game) as opposed to Creative: Where you are given infinite quantities of every item right from the start and everybody builds houses with diamond block. Creative mode is fairly new (came in a few months ago) Link to comment
