Well I upgraded yesterday. Just created a new world to see what was up and haven't really noticed anything different from Jeb's 1.9 "release".
[Reply]

Yeah, haven't noticed anything different from the 1.9.3 pre-release. Need to figure out the whole enchantment thing.

I Didn't update because I'm waiting for it to be secure for our server. If you update right away you can't get onto the minecraftaholics server until bukkitt is secure. Usually takes about a week.
[Reply]

Yeah, updated on one compy but left the other 1.8 because your server and mine are both still there :-)
[Reply]

*facepalm*

I updated.
[Reply]

I can email you the 1.8 jar if you want...shoot me a PM with your email addy

Internet is to slow for me to play during peak hours here. I will have to try during lunch.

I do have a question regarding the play in browser option. Is everything done in the browser? Does it download anything to your system? Thanks guys.
[Reply]

The In browser one will not DL anything to your system.
[Reply]

The browser uses local files stored in the folder (windows 7) \users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft where it stores your settings and world files. If you download the actual minecraft.exe it uses the same folder/world saves as you would if you were playing it in browser, the difference being that you're not using an active internet connection.

Ya know, I take it back. I created a new world and noticed a couple things (that may have been missing because I had a huge 1.7 world.)

Villages with NPCs (though they seem to do nothing.)
An awful lot more achievements (brewing o.O?)

minecraft... *sigh* oh how I have missed thee.

Longtime minecraft addict. I bought it in Alpha over a year ago, and I play off and on in concentrated spurts.

My friends and I used to run our own little private creative turned survival server. My pixel art and decoration designs always sucked, and I was only average at redstone... but I was a minecart wizard, I could build boosters and stations out of minecarts that defied the already warped laws of minecraft physics and would make your head spin... it was a thing of beauty... and then notch re-wrote the minecarts around the same time my friends started getting bored with their server.

I moved on to a TRUE survival ANARCHY server, public, complete with griefing etc. gone were the days of building... now I had a new system to learn - how to hide my things so nobody would steal them, living like a rat in a hole in cleverly camouflaged caves deep within the earth... I suppose you could say that I still play that server, although I am proud to say I've now been minecraft free for 3 months now. The last time i played in earnest was 1.7.3 ... before the combat mechanisms changed, and before enchantments!

Which is all a long winded way to say that I'm due to play it again... ASSUMING I don't buy SWTOR... So hello there. I'm a minecraft addict. And I may well see all of you on there soon :-)

hmmm, ran across this on the Android market and thought they were pretty interesting. I'm not the type to play minecraft on my phone, but maybe you are :-)

world explorer - import/export levels from minecraft and play them on phone.

I have the free version on my iphone. It works well, a bit less complicated than on the computer but still fun.
[Reply]

this one claims to do the one thing the 'official' minecraft phone versions don't - allow you to play official minecraft maps from the desktop! now all it needs it online play :-)
[Reply]

I just started playing, still trying to figure everything out, spending my nights in caves and just running around in the daylight
[Reply]

Haha that's how it all starts. Do you know how to build a crafting table and craft? You should watch a youtube video. I think it is called surviving your first night on Minecraft!:-)
[Reply]

Yeah, I'm playing in the mode that gives you everything to start with, just getting accustomed to the controls on my MacBook, I'll start again from scratch in a bit. I did see that video, and a few others :-)
[Reply]

Are you on the Minecraftaholics server?
If not and you are interested, PM me!
[Reply]

Still not updated, man this secure release is taking for ever!
[Reply]

Haha, I'm trying to wait patiently. My lil bro and I are chomping at the bit!
