Ehh... laziness. If I get to it, i'll do it.

Might be a good idea to wait until the next patch is released. I think I heard it's changing the terrain / biome generation.

*writes "Update Me" in dust on MonkeyCraft server*

[Kyle]

For the love of gaming, please update server.

[Donkeymog]

I'll be back from Amsterdam tomorrow night. I'll take a look at it then if nobody beats me to it. Are you up for starting a new map with larger biomes, glace?

[Glaciermage]

Yeah I think it's time for a clean slate. Monkeycraft 4.0 is fine by me.

[Donkeymog]

Umm.. server works fine?

 

Did somebody already update while I wasn't looking?

 

Apparently this is just a precursor to the larger terrain overhaul to come in 1.7.0. I'm a hold off rebuilding the map until 1.7 comes out because I'm not sure how it would affect terrain generation on our world.

[Glaciermage]

Yeah I logged on server last night. I assumed you updated already Bean.

Are you sure we shouldn't start now so a lot of terrain generation is done before 1.7? Any word on when 1.7 will be released?

[Donkeymog]

Well from what I understand terrain generation will just be the same if we start a map now. I'm unsure whether we'll be able to spawn the new biomes if we created the world pre-1.7 or if it'll cause terrain glitches.

 

The best guess I can find on the Internet is that 1.7 will be released around Halloween or a few days after when they have Minecon. This seems a little far away for my likings. I'll try to read up on whether 1.6 terrain will be incompatible with 1.7 or no. If not I'll start a fresh world and we can begin rebuilding.

Mojang says this about Minecraft 1.6.4:

 

This update fixes world generation bugs that would appear in 1.7. It is recommended that you use this version and load up important areas of your world before heading into Minecraft 1.7.

 

 

So not sure if that helps you decide or not. Whatever you wanna do is fine.

[Donkeymog]

Yeah, I've been out partying tonight and can't make heads or tails of it at the moment, it seems a little ambiguous. Load up important areas? Load them up? Like with cargo? Or load them like a disk?

 

Or does it mean that if you have a 1.6.x world you should patch to 1.6.4 and it will prevent it from causing problems with the 1.7 update?

 

In the morning it'll probably make more sense and I shall take appropriate action.

[Donkeymog]

New world has been generated. The old one has been put into cryostasis.

 

New world has large biomes. We've spawned in the middle of a big jungle.

 

Come play!

[Kyle]

Are we claim a region of the world their territory? I was also wondering if we could add some build craft and redstone mods please. Also, about the territory thing, I'd claim a tundra far away in case you are curious.

[Kyle]

Um. I might have lost my house, Bean, remember your old underground house? I need to you to show me it since it was across the river from me.

[Donkeymog]

Maybe use the map?

[Donkeymog]

Anyone have any idea why we have random chunks loaded?

[Kyle]

Thanks Bean, I finally found my place. If anyone would like some materials to help get started then log in and tpa to me, I have a full set of diamond armor already, so I am more than prepared.

[Vicious Parker]

I'll hopefully be logging on later tonight. looking forward to it.

[Donkeymog]

Bring Spaz!

 

she's more fun than you.

[Glaciermage]

Shouldn't we have a new thread at this point?

(And yes, bring Spaz)
