(RockPaperShotgun also agrees that Notch failed horribly with this patch<\/a>)<\/p>\n

When people are cheering Notch and saying “he’ll fix this.”, I have gone out and said “He wants SMP to die! He’s purposely making it unstable!”
\nThis update IMO is probably the bomb of failed updates. As they say, 3rd time’s the charm. It sure is, to make SMP USELESS!!<\/p>\n

Two of the biggest and serious bugs above all others have to do with boats and minecarts. Trying to go through a chunk freezes the game. Also, minecarts can only be destroyed through fire or lava. It’s quite obvious that these two would have issues from the start.<\/p>\n

There’s also one that has nothing to do with these two things. Right clicking with a bare hand causes a client crash. It’s just as serious as the other two, but is more preventable.<\/p>\n

Yet these issues aren’t stopping the majority of server owners from updating. I don’t know why. But it’s not like they can do anything about it.
\nI wouldn’t be as pissed as I am now if it wasn’t for Gmod. But, when running it, then restarting, it causes a CHKDSK to scan my Steam folder for drive errors, everytime.
\nI don’t know what’s causing it, and no one can tell me how to fix it.<\/p>\n

I know this game is still in Alpha, but… ugh. I wish it didn’t act<\/em> like it was. Sometimes it pretends it’s a finished product, then WHAM! A bomb of an update hits SMP.
\nSome say we are “Alpha testing” it. This is bullshit. For as far as I can remember, I never heard of a game\/program requiring you to pay for it to “test” it.
\nAnd the only reason I paid for the game was when I was still in Minecraft Classic, so I can save my games again. It wasn’t to play what would become Minecraft Alpha.<\/p>\n

IMO, Minecraft Alpha (aka \/indev\/) should had been a closed beta. But I guess Notch didn’t want to deprive us of it. Now I feel like a jackass for getting sucked into it. And it was angry that “made it worse” to break myself completely out of Alpha.<\/p>\n

Since I can’t do jack shit about this update, I’m thinking of just going back to SSP. As long as INVedit is updated and HoverBoat is updated, I’ll be good. But then comes the feeling of being pissed off because SMP now has a feature to remove those fucking troll animals!
\nAlso, hey0’s Server Mod finally got updated. But I feel it’s pointless since SMP is borked.
\nThere’s also this “Pressure Plate Tracks” addon that claims it has the fixed code for AUTOCART.
\nOne bad thing is no more Daylight plugin. But that’s even with SMP. Since all plugins for hey0’s mod are broken now.<\/p>\n

I can still continue this tram idea of mine. Now I know sometime in the future (hopefully), SMP will be from an unstable, shitty version… to a bug-free and lag-free version. Where my tram idea will finally have a purpose of its existence (my guests will love being able to use the tram to get to all the cool places in my map). And even maybe have a section of track that goes into The Nether, and out in a far away area (one of Nick’s ideas).<\/p>\n

But right now, that’s not going to come anytime soon. I keep forgetting that SMP is unfinished (though it seems to pretend it is finished), and heavily bugged. But this is actually a good thing. Nothing gets created without a shitload of issues first.
\nTake our own Earth. It started as a molten ball of rock and hell raining down on it. Fastforward billions of years later, and we call it home.<\/p>\n

What I’m trying to say is yes there is going to be more and more bugs (and I’m just talking out of my ass here because if it wasn’t for INVedit I would be utterly pissed at Notch). I don’t give a shit if he frowns upon it. I’m not going to be fucking bored here!
\nThis is MY game. MY GAME! MY WAY TO PLAY IT! If I want to use INVedit and HoverBoat, and AUTOCART to make my Tram idea a success, then it’s my right!<\/p>\n

You hear me, Notch?! (of course you don’t because if you ever read my blogs you would lose half of your IQ)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
