Finally, can't wait to try out the maps.

Woo! Hopefully the nether in smp now works better than what the bukkit's solution was... doubt it though.

[QUOTE=Panthereye;30058701]Woo! Hopefully the nether in smp now works better than what the bukkit's solution was... doubt it though.[/QUOTE] The nether solution that was implemented is the exact solution bukkit used, hopefully Notch built on it though so it's better now. Doubt it..

I don't see the point of a hatch if it's noticeable from a mile away and not level with the ground...

[QUOTE=Armotekma;30058785]I don't see the point of a hatch if it's noticeable from a mile away and not level with the ground...[/QUOTE] it's more of a convenience than a trap.

Fuck sake already found an error, furances throw blocks out, stacking iron igots after crafting them(might be other things too) in your inventory makes them disappear

We're on 1.6.2 now.

[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1106779/CPU-Usage.PNG[/img] For some reason it's maxing out the server's CPU as soon as I connect and goes down to 0-10% when I disconnect. Why?

Has anyone discovered how to get those new tracks? It says that they are playable through a jukebox...

Why is the hatch on the bottom of the block and not the top? :(

[quote]* Fixed submerged boats rising very very fast [/quote] :saddowns: Elevators RIP

Well it appears people will now have to make effort in sky islands because a single water block can no longer be used as a cheapskate elevator.

Does Multiplayer Nether have a red sky now?

I keep pressing escape after terraria :argh: Mushroom spreading and proper ore generation are the most exciting features for me.

[QUOTE=MendozaMan;30059005]Well it appears people will now have to make effort in sky islands because a single water block can no longer be used as a cheapskate elevator.[/QUOTE] I think they can still be used, just not as fast.

So many lighting errors

[QUOTE=GaLm121;30059058]I think they can still be used, just not as fast.[/QUOTE] You can swim up them the normal way but boats are screwed over.

Fuck, my lava blades are not working now [img]http://i.imgur.com/fxpCJl.jpg[/img]

I was hoping for a giant 4 block metal hatch :(

Goddamnit why can't I make a stone hatch? I was hoping I could make lava traps :saddowns:

[QUOTE=Hakita;30059225]Goddamnit why can't I make a stone hatch? I was hoping I could make lava traps :saddowns:[/QUOTE] use the flow updater technique

[img]http://giantice.com/upgi/uploads/2011-05-26_22.27.37_26052011053651.png[/img] It's not meant to be like right?

I guess I'll just have to keep waiting to update 1.7 for pistons :sigh: I've been so terribly bored lately and just waiting for new content so I'll have some inspiration to make something cool. I thought pistons would help, and that they would be coming soon. When I heard that we'd be getting hatches instead of pistons in this update I wasn't extremely disappointed, I thought I would still be able to make water/lava gates which would be very useful for a lot of things like machines/mob grinders/traps/water slides/hidden passages. However then they wouldn't be able to do that, and now the only possibly interesting function I see from this is perhaps for mob traps.

Pistons will be so awesome. [editline]26th May 2011[/editline] There are so many bugfixes in 1.6. I'm 100% sure that 1.7 will have shitload of content.

Good use of trapdoors is to use them as a kind of deployable staircase, has saved me from creepers already and I've only been trying them for about 10 minutes!

Holy hell the servers are taking up a large amount of usage now, what's up with that?

Just have a lever that controls a set of them so when you need to you can get up and when you need protection you can turn them off.
