I played on that server infrequently. There's a good vibe, but most randoms for the team games want to group up on skype, suggest you have it open and ready to go if you're going for the team game.

Count me in.

What is UHC?

It's a PVP game type, you spawn into a random seed and start with nothing. The main difficulty is that there's no natural health regeneration, you have to get potions or golden apples. And once you're dead, that's it, you're out!

I really like it, a game takes between 60-90 minutes usually if you survive to the end game. You basically go down caving, being really careful about mobs and fall damage, get geared up, and then go out and kill other guys!

There's a set time-limit, at the end of which you and the other survivors get teleported to a much smaller space for a final fight to the death.

Neato! I've PM'd Renegaider to see if he's interested. Will you tell Welchy if you see him?

Pompous · 12-12-2014 6:02pm

Sounds pretty cool. Yeah I'll let Welchy know too.

Next week sometime? Wednesday night perhaps?

Sounds good

There's a new version of the launcher available to download on the minecraft reddit, it's pretty good, you don't get that white screen anymore and it launches more than twice as fast for me. There's other benefits too, like you don't need to have java installed or updated anymore.

I have played on the UHC server before, it's good fun. Was on last night. Played a 90 minute game, teams of 3. I played with two random people. We had a good start, next to a desert village. Then went caving. Found enough gold for our 6 apples. Got all geared up with iron armour and diamond swords and an enchanting table. Headed to the nether and saw another team of three. We managed to kill all three of the other team without one of us dying. With the three of them dead we got three player heads which you can craft into notch apples. This give you back 4 hearts instead of the usual 2. We made it to 89 minute mark and were just getting ready to teleport to the final meet up area when a creeper killed one of our team. The remaining two were then beamed and made it to the last two teams. We killed one of the other guys before both of us were killed.

Java is still needed, Mojang (or Microsoft) just bundle it now with the launcher and use it instead of any other version on your computer. It allows them to have minecraft use a 64-bit version of Java on a 64-bit PC even if the user hasn't installed the 64-bit version.
The initial download is much larger, but still under 100M.

No worries brah. Thursday night or Sunday afternoon work? I can't do Friday or Saturday. After that I'm on my holidays so I can do it any day. My connection is still horsesh*t so I'm only really going to be able to play outside the hours of 6pm to 10ish

Darkglasses · 18-12-2014 5:36pm

Anybody here try to play Super Hostile maps? I downloaded infernal skies II yesterday, great fun. I get terrible block lag though, I don't really understand why.

Edit - Did a little research, it might help if I played with an older version than 1.7.5

The Vechs series? Used to play them a few years ago,the CTM ones. Can be very tough but in a good way.Are they still making new maps? Cant remember what versions of minecraft i used but the maps i played were a long time ago

Yeah the Vechs series, I think he stopped making maps for a long time but is currently making one, I'm not certain though. I'm fairly addicted to it at the moment, do you remember which other ones you liked?

Yeah it works totally fine with 1.7.2 even, 1.7.5 or afterwards is the problem!

Off the top of my head Sunburn Island,Canopy Carnage and one was called cave something. Think it may have been Magic Cave. Out of the three i most enjoyed Sunburn Island

Darkglasses · 24-12-2014 4:59pm

Thanks Eoin, I'll try one of them next!

I did it

Ha ha fair play man,they take a fair bit of patience and graft to do. Good feeling getting one finished though.

You have made me want to go back and play one now:)

Pompous · 24-12-2014 10:13pm

Day 17. Finally finished.

I can use it to go from 27 to 50 exp in 5 minutes

Darkglasses · 24-12-2014 10:17pm

Holy...crap. GG Pomp.

Now eh....What exactly am I looking at? I see it's a Guardian crusher? What's all the dirt, furnaces and redstone for? And why do you kill them in the nether?

Pompous · 24-12-2014 11:05pm

I had to make two layers of dirt, one to place the fence gates on, and another to place the dispensers under. The dirt is gone now.

The redstone and dispensers (not furnaces

) are completely unnecessary, I just added it because I wanted to be able to turn the spawning on/off.

There's a layer of water at the top (that comes out of dispensers). This spawns guardians, which fall through the fence gates onto the flowing water. They then get funnelled into the nether where I poison them and kill them all at once with a splash damage potion. I hold a looting 3 sword when they die to get more drops.

The reason I funnel them into the nether is that there is a limit to how many will spawn in the overworld. If I send them to the nether then the overworld will keep spawning them until I turn the water off. I left it running for 10 minutes and there was 600 guardians in the nether. If I didn't send them to the nether I would get about 30 guardians no matter how long I leave it running.

The new 1.8.2 pre-releases are really buggy, don't install them at all.

Darkglasses · 22-01-2015 4:44pm

Does the 1.7.10 server still exist? Tried to log in today for nostalgia's sake, can't seem to get on or access the dynamap. All good if it was taken down or something

Solitaire · 22-01-2015 6:04pm

There was no 1.7.10 server. There was a 1.7.2 server that worked with clients up to 1.7.5, I do not recall it being taken down but its been a while.

Ohh, I guess I just got my versions confused

bnt · 27-01-2015 9:33am

Is Survival being upgraded, though? I tried to connect and it told me 1.7.10 was required. With 1.7.10 it seems to be there but it sits on "Logging in..." forever.

Loved the Realm, thanks for the 3 months! While I'm here, could I get an invite to the new one too? xD
