Except for the lagtrees of rubber.

The current stuff is prerelease; if anyone can fix it by the time she's done it's definitely Eloraam; she's already integrated what is basically a custom Commodore 64 emulator into a small series of blocks, including floppy drives and the like, inside of Minecraft.

Why is it that when you go down into the depths via a cavern you see little to no Mobs, fill your inv with ores and mats and on the way up bump into 3 or more creepers/zombies/skeles that maul you to death, and on the trip back to get the goods, the caverns are CHOCK FULL of Mobs....

I died to a creeper, started going back down and bumped into 3 creepers and 2 zombies in a little pack which killed me, got caught between three skeles, a death from above zombie, later creeper and then 2 creepers kiting me into eachother...

I think there are some minimalist texture packs that may help reduce your lag (instead of 16x16 block sprites, they go down to 8x8, 4x4, or 1x1).

Edit: Ah, you're talking about the browser version. Never mind!

The code literally calls their spawns when you're NOT there, with the exception of spawner blocks themselves, which are only active when you ARE.

When you first login most of the mobs aren't spawned in far areas.

Then they spawn over time, and going out is hella harder than going back in.

Quick dives after an area is freshly loaded are vastly more likely to be safe.

As I said, the game runs at a decent FPS when I'm not moving the mouse, so I don't think adjusting the in-game graphics would help much, even if I could get the other texture packs.  There's something up with the mouse - it lags on the desktop when I first boot up the computer, too. 

Also, I just tried reinstalling Java 7 and uninstalling Java 6.  Now Minecraft (and anything else requiring Java) won't run at all.

well, for me, beta/gold went better than creative, and I'm on a 1999 IBM with an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 and .6 processor
OptiFine helps a lot.
Not sure about Java though, you might have to change system settings or something...

Do you mean that beta/gold ran better?  I'll probably buy the game and download OptiFine as soon as I get Java working again.  I did a system restore to before I started messing with Java.  Now, instead of giving me an error message saying I need to install Java, the browser just crashes.  Meh.  I'll have to deal with it in the morning.

[Seriyu]

Java 7 is supposed to perform better for MC from everything I've heard. I dunno how much Optifine would help - integrated graphics by Intel can only do so much, generally.

For what it counts for, I've got an integrated intel chipset and it runs fine with optifine although generally any mods like millenaire or whatever tend to make it a bit choppy. And it's still not capable of handling the giant rubbertrees in Redpower 2.

So, I am building a massive fortress on the faction server blue is admin on, but have no idea how I'm gonna build it. What I want is:

- the walls have to be double hollow, enough for every block to have a sign on it on the inside.

- there will be a (very) large mansion on the inside, and there should be room for at least 20 houses and yards and maybe some other large cool stuff like parks or statues.

- it has to be cool and fortress...y looking 


Does anyone want to help me plan it out? I have no idea how to start going about it. Maybe there is a program or something I can use?

[Sirus]

Why do you want signs inside the walls? 

[shadenight123]

Why do you want signs inside the walls? 

idiotic mob end up falling down between the signs, thinking they are full when they are empty.
moaty way.

a suggestion is to use dirt to "carve out" the basic dimensions. then build around it.

Haha, good idea but no. the server has protective signs. If I have a layer of them inside all with my name and on obsidian, They cannot be destroyed by anyone but an admin. Hell, even I can't destroy them.

And the design is the problem. I need some sort of grid to plan things out.

[shadenight123]

you could try changing texture pack to use one more "griddy" . then take a gridded paper and start working on it.
engineer style.

[Micro102]

Nah, I was thinking something more along the lines of the paint application with  more grid and copyable things. But paper should do.
