How to Draw a Circle in a Square World Part II

I was sent a link to a great website for designing minecraft projects and in particular circles and ellipses. Much thanks to the site author for creating this page and sending me the link.

He says it's still a work in progress but it looks great so far and I can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

Minecraft 1.8 : Ajout des PNJ

Pour que l’aspect "Aventure" de Minecraft 1.8 soit le plus réussi possible, Notch compte intégrer certaines nouveautés bien sympathiques :

- plus d'importance donnée à l'exploration, l'agriculture et aux combats
- nouvelle mécanique de combat
- nouvelle physique de la lumière
- Ajout des PNJ (personnages non-joueurs)

UI Design preview

Designed it myself :P

Currently being coded by Storm Burpee! Wish him luck!

Sortie de Minecraft 1.7 : Jeudi 30 Juin

Plus que 2 jours à attendre avant de tester les Pistons de Minecraft 1.7. On aurait aimé plus de nouveautés mais on saura se contenter de ça ;)

Progress!

Too real? :P

Just rented a web server for the site. Its sfxworks.net (however, it will be minecraft.sfxworks.net in the near future).

Storm Burpee says he can get the ui and chat channels done in a day. Also, it will work on low-performance computers. Think of it as a new client-side redesign vs a client-side addon (Basically, starting from scratch vs adding to whats already there).

Kohjix is doing some cool backgrounds for the website.

I am finishing up the design for the UI.

If all goes well, we should have everything finished in 24 hours.

Oh...wait...the map generation..

Currently, I am working with the author of phoenixterrainmod along with a few other plugin developers.

This drawing (Yes its bad. I drew it in a rush) should explain how the server will work.

Its composed of 3 worlds for 3 times the fun! (...I guess I say corny stuff when im tired....and say corny which I havn't said in years)

In any case, this SHOULD be my last all-nighter. Ill keep you guys posted!

PS : I am aware of 1.7 on Thursday. Everything should work just fine. We were the first server to have 1.6 with bukkit and we can do it again with 1.7!

Why do people do this?

This sets us back even more... Why did Galaxy do this?

Looking for someone to make the client side UI again.

Minecraft 1.8 : The adventure update

Initialement prévue pour la sortie de Minecraft 1.7, The adventure update devra attendre finalement que Minecraft 1.8 sorte. Cette très grosse évolution prend visiblement plus de temps que prévue...

Pour résumer :

Minecraft 1.7 = Pistons
Minecraft 1.8 = The adventure update

Minecraft 1.7 : les Pistons uniquement

Notch a annoncé sur son blog que Minecraft 1.7 verra le jour prochainement et n'incorporera comme grosse nouveauté uniquement l'ajout des Pistons. Quelques corrections de bugs seront également de la partie mais pas d'autres grosses évolutions.

Reste plus qu'à connaître la date !

While you wait...

Something interested VANDIGO found on the internet.

Click and hold down the gray blocks to make them turn white. They ping a sound each round. Enjoy.

Map "Villa" de COD Black Ops dans Minecraft

Certains joueurs de Call of Duty adorent également Minecraft et le prouvent en s'amusant à y reproduire les Maps de leur jeu préféré. Le résultat est parfois très réussi, comme cette reproduction de la map "Villa" de COD Black Ops.

Sever Update Status

Website & Server Synchronization success.

UI In the making. I just finished the design for it.

Leveling system reconfigured. There are no longer levels that say "You must be this tall to ride this item."

Authentication system dramatically upgraded and synced with the website.

Added local chat.

Tweaked server to DRAMATICALLY reduce lag.

Added temporary developer channel (email me if you would like to help out).

Currently:

Reconfiguring Map Generator. (thechillhacker)

- Will extend past the 128 block limit allowing building at MUCH greater heights.

Programming the client side UI. (Galaxy)

Creating a simple installer for the UI. (sfxworks)

To Do:

Generate the map with the continents, rivers, and oceans. (Not as hard as I thought)

Add protection, mech, and data mods.

Design scheme for the site.

Transfer world data to the New Server.

Add PVP battle grounds & other PVP configuration.

ETA: ~2-3 days. The wait will be worth it guys. Hold tight.

(using password: NO)

Sorry guys. Working on a registeration issue with the database. I'll have it up by today.

Ps give thanks to thechillhacker Galaxy for offering to help program! And give a big thanks to Billz5243 for suggesting some awesome mods!

Until then, you can watch (not really) on the work I am doing here.

Ps: Zerobot the flash banner is working. Delete your browser's cache and reload the page.

Edit: Ok guys im pulling an all nighter again to get this done. I don't want to keep you all waiting forever. There has been some rapid progress. Hopefully I wont have to.

Server - Notice

The server will be down for approx 2 days while I clean up the system and prep for 1.7.

All your work is saved. You wont regret the wait.

NPCS CRASH THE SERVER

They are disabled. The server is back online.

mcserver1337.servegame.com:1337

And its back up

I appologize for that. Trying to delete a whole folder full of map files. (their like 1kb each but theres a good 9000000 of them).

Im deleting another folder but this one isnt as big. It shouldnt cause the server to crash this time.

HEROBRINE!!!

THEY EXIST!!!!

THEY EXIST!!!

THIS IS NOT AN NPC! THIS IS A REAL HEROBRINE! iLL POST A VIDEO SOON!

Surprise Update!

Hmm.....
The surprise update failed. I know why though so Ill work on more testing today and have it up by tomorrow.

Programmers Needed.

This is an announcement to anyone willing to mod on request. I am looking for programmers willing to help with the server. Trying to become independent from bukkit. Please email me at sfxworks@gmail.com if you are interested.

Edit: I am very interested in programmers that are able to modify the map generation technique. If you are able to do so, please email me at sfxworks@gmail.com.

Edit: I will happily pay for you service. (Nothing big though. Around 10-40$)
