But then a creeper blew him up and he can't find his stuff, so he started over. The end. xD

Started off better second time around. Night 1 with torches and a better cave!

Anyways, During the night I heard splashing around. I looked to make sure no enemies were around, but instead I find this hanging around.




There will definably be breakfast in the morning! :D

Does anyone have a '502 Bad Gateway' page?

EDIT: Nevermind. Looks like Beta's out. I guess '502 Bad Gateway' meant he was editing the website. So those who were gonna buy alpha ran out of time. Also it logged me off. ?A?

And update.

I must say, he's definitely kicking ass with pumping out bug updates:

* Working server-side inventory! Finally! (And as a result of that, a whole pile of bugs and issues got fixed)
* Made SMP servers save chunks way less often in most cases. Chunks don?t resave if they got saved in the last 30 seconds
* Moving too far away from a container, or having it blow up, closes the inventory screen
* Fixed /kill
* Introduced leaf decay again. It acts differently from before
* You can now throw eggs
* On a whim, added super exclusive clan cloaks for Mojang Employees
* .. and something else, which is even more rare

Anyone have any leads on the "something else" that he mentioned in the last bullet?

I dunno. But I'm having a good laugh reading the topics about what the secret thing is on the forums. The people there are just so incompetent :D

Minecraft beta! Now with 30% more crashing (Yay!)

It's a rule, more people = more incompetency. Granted, that forum also has insightful people, but it's drowned out by the majority. That's why I hate massive forums like that.

I have to say, the game HAS been crashing more for me, too. I expected less, not vice-versa. (Nothing to do with low virtual memory, I checked.)

He just released a hotfix today that fixed an issue with chests, he says there's more he'll look into patching tomorrow, I may have to hold off on updating my server if it proves too unstable.

I think a lot of people lack the understanding of an application's life cycle with regards to the different stages of release.  Alpha is primarily meant for inventing features and releasing experimental code with less emphasis on stability.  Obviously a certain level of stability is required to ensure that users of the software can actually test these features, but it is not as heavily emphasized as what a beta release would concentrate on.  Beta is meant primarily for mass testing, stabilizing and moving towards a full on production release client, with less emphasis on experimental code.  This has to suck for Notch, as so many have purchased his game under the false guise that it is a full on release client, and not a (now) beta release.  They expect the infrastructure and stability of Amazon, and receive the product of an independent developer's work.

Off-topic is a way more mature section of the forums.

Just for clarification, I don't expect the game to be running perfectly, I realize it's still far in development. Still, when an update like this is released, especially when it says it fixed bugs, I don't expect more disconnections.

Also, thanks for informing me about the hotfix, I've got it now.

THAT was most definitely not on Minepedia, it just contained the information in Scotty's post. I looked for evidence of said claim for well over 10 minutes, and can't find anything about it. Pigmen are in the game's coding, but not used. If you have evidence to the contrary, I'd love to see it.
