1. Get WinRAR, or 7zip.
2. download this.
3. push Windows key + R, and type %appdata% in the window. a new window should appear with a minecraft folder inside it.
4. READ THE README from the above download.

Speaking of screenshots, someone asked to see the sandworms.

Spoiler: The spice must flow (click to show/hide)

(They're there absorbing the water)

It's highly amusing to see this, given that I'm currently reading Dune.

Me too. Just finished it. We need stilsuits for minecraft.

Indeed and some Ornis. When you finish dune, try out the prequels, they are great aswell.

Bump.  Added RedPower (and more recently updated it, you'll need to redownload them [or the combined archive] as of right now and make sure you remove the older versions from the /mods folder in order to connect) for super-redstone.

Bump, with a warning,.
EDIT: Upgraded to BC 1.7.3.3 without a hitch.
Will start a new map with RedPower 1.6 and PhoenixTerrain 1.7 once they're both out, so there's that.

Heard on the IRC that once Buildcraft 2 comes out we might need to restart... but it looks AWESOME! Engines are a good idea. Allow basic Buildcraft opperations with constant redstone and demand resources to run more powerfull engines for powerfull stuff.
 
I wonder if IC miners on extractor mode work with modded liquids...
 
Oh, and I hope oil is flammable/etc! Make the enterence to your base need slogging through an oil pool with a murderhole above for lava dumping. Enemy = Broiled, shallow-fried, and magmatized!
 
 
 
I've been thinking for a while about the utility of gas/smoke grenades in Minecraft. Seeing as it is a voxel game, effects should be easily able to hug walls...
I was thinking that 4 torches + a slimeball + 4 sugar could make a smoke bomb that is thrown like an egg and spawns a block of "5smoke" that spawns "4smoke" in air around it and degrades to "4smoke".
Continue this pattern and make higher value blocks randomly spread to lower value ones (3 next to 5 = 4 next to 4) (this will cause some switching back and forth with blocks only one level different) and make "1smoke" vanish over time like unsupported leaves.
 
The effect is that a bunch of blocks spread out from the impact point, following terrain, and then vannish once spread too thinly.
 
There could be standard torch+slimeball+sugar opaque smoke, unbreathable torch+slimeball+ink sac smoke, and damaging torch+slimeball+gunpowder+redstone smoke.
 
This oil stuff is making me think of even nastier stuff, but I don't think giving the average minecraft player fuel-air bombs is a good idea.
... maybe if they didn't cause terrain damage and wasted the bucket too... and required gunpowder. Just spreading, incindiary smoke...

[TheBronzePickle]

Fuel-air bombs actually don't cause much damage to the environment.They're mainly for destroying a large swath of unarmored or lightly armored structures like buildings, light vehicles, and infantry. The explosion makes a lot of pressure, but it's (relatively) light pressure spread out over a much wider area than a normal bomb.

Honestly, though, I think all the stuff you mentioned would be an absolute nightmare lag-wise. And that's not counting all the dumbasses who would spam the things. Who knows, though, maybe it could work.

[Matz05]

Yeah, I think now that the equizilant of an aerosolized Molotov wouldn't break blocks. Still would be fun seeing people go 'Oh BLEEP! GRENADE!" and getting totally atomized by a hallway suddenly full of "!!Oil smoke!!". Actualy, a slow-moving incinderary gas would be pretty cool. Magma mist grenade anyone?
 
Be pretty epic to use smoke bombs during a retreat too...
 
I still don't think that smoke would lag too much more than a similar volume of liquid flows... It would clean itself up too, rather than staying. Basicly, I don't mean that they should spread all at once, but one block at a time like water, just in multiple directions at once.
 
They should be pretty useless on open ground (walk away) but in tunnells they are funnelled in one or two directions, so should be more dangerous. Smoke is only obscuring, not really griefable if not spammable to lagging levels; suffocating is only really usefull to smoke somone out of a room; damaging is simply a more powerfull suffocating. Incindiary/blasting would be the only griefable ones, but as long as gunpowder and something else expensive is needed and they are slow to spam they should be fine.

[TheBronzePickle]

Well, still, we're not exactly a combat server. Unless the things were useful against mobs (fucking creepers) there's little chance of them being used much here.

[Jay]

Bump.  Big updates, and the server is finally running again to test them.

[Matz05]

Oooh, what updates?

[Soulwynd]

Check the spreadsheet at the first post.

[Logical2u]

Hey everyone,

• Jaycraft's IP has now changed! You can simply use "jaycraft.dyndns.org" to connect!
• The server should now be 24/7! (barring any natural disasters/acts of God/acts of ISP)

As always, the latest news and the server IP address can be found in the first post of this thread.

[Logical2u]

Edit: server is back now. Enjoy!
