So yeah. Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you have a good one. It’s been raining all day today here in southern Indiana.
I personally was hoping Notch would make a Turkey animal in Minecraft. But SMP is more important right now.
Speaking of SMP, I was browsing minecraftforum.net, checking the thread of Hey0’s server mod. I had my server up last night. Angry was in it and searched around while I was forced to stay out due to not wanting to update my client. He told me I could simply backup minecraft.jar, grab the update and join him with broken mods.
Then when I’m done, I can restore the .jar I backed up and still keep my mods in SSP. That worked with no problems.
However, hey0 has a problem. It’s been updated for the new 0.2.5 server version, but when you boot the server up it immediately shuts down. And I’m not alone in that.
As I was saying, today after watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and saw Santa Claus riding into town, I was checking hey0. No fix for the issue I’m having. As I’m reading, someone mentions “Minecraft has been updated again!”, my brain is thinking “What WHAT?! ANOTHER UPDATE?!”
I ran to Notch’s Blog and sure enough, he’s released an update today. I believe he’s fixed players disappearing (but not completely), and dying when you spawn. This is just one of two updates he’s planning to release, with the second being tomorrow.
He also mentions something that nearly makes me piss my pants. He’ll make a thing where the client will ask you “Do you want to update?” instead of automatically updating when you launch it.
I jumped for joy when I read that. No more will I be forced to unplug my cable modem to play with unbroken mods! 😀
Notch is now awesome in my book. He’s thinking smart.
