New Minecraft 1.2.5 Server Map

We've started a new map! There are plains, jungles, deserts, swamps, and mountains all near the (now moved for no reason but still okay) spawn point - it's looking like a great one for scenery. This picture was taken just after starting with Hatty and Scotty. Yes I do play the game like that, using Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders and optifine with loads of tweaks to keep me over 50 FPS. I usually use a seperate low-FPS .jar for screenshots so the shadows are a bit iffy on this one.

Still mining and crafting.

I haven't posted on this blog in a very long time, so this post is to say I'm still alive and playing Minecraft. I just updated the texture pack page on here, so if anyone reading this still hasn't tried out my cartoon texture pack now would be a great time to do so!

I haven't been on my server much recently, but hopefully that will change when my exams are over and the next Minecraft update is out :)

Here's a picture of one of my old houses I still haven't showed off here yet. Im hoping to build a new castle soon so that should be up here too sometime. That may not sound interesting but remember that my last castle (well, last that I put on the interwebs) is still number 3 for google searching "minecraft castle".

Updated Server to 1.2

A new map will be started sometime, somewhen between one and three weeks away probably.

I highly recommend using optifine as it's been updated too. I'm using the Multi-Core version and Minecraft is now flying. I also recommend not using a toaster to play Minecraft on, but that's for another post. - If anyone wants tips on building computers mostly for Minecraft, mention it, I sort of want to write a massive post about it.

Now the bukkit team is working with Mojang (well, is part of Mojang), I'm sure bukkit will get even more awesome and make multiplayer mods even easier to use. I'm not yet open to suggestions for mods on the server (i.e no mods), BUT in the future I will look into it. Personally I'm hoping for a fire/ice/explosive arrow mod that doesn't require client installs. Oh and that paint mod..

I want sea creatures too. Like this one (from the fossil/archeology mod):
