@RLY
Old server chunks are static and though newer recipes etc... will work, the newer minerals and all that will not occur underground. Likewise, trees will all be oak trees, there will not be any biomes either. Not 100% sure about world height, but I assume the new world height applies to the old chunks. That's not to say you can't go plant birch trees or place stone brick stairs and all that...they just will not occur randomly.

There are major differences in the game content between Beta and current version, so playing there is sure to be a different experience.

The new zone (ie the area depicted in Corv's coordinate plot above) is 100% up to version 1.5 standards, as is the nether nearby. Heading in the direction of the old nether hubs however will bring you into "old nether" before very long, so if you're looking for, say, nether quartz or nether fortresses, you won't find either in that direction.

so the chunk with new buildings is the only place up to modern specs, or is the old area the only spot that isn't?

The new specs get created when regions are generated by a players presence. Only the new area and the unexplored areas have 1.5 specs.

Oh, nostalgia. I found my tower to get from the skyrail to my subway, rode it all the way to my old fortress and then to the old town. I haven't explored the town yet. I can't believe how much freaking rail I put down. I am so glad to be seeing all of this stuff again.

THis^

It mainly affects things that the world-generator generates. If you load a new chunk all mineral distributions, biomes, terrain types, trees, etc... will be up to the newest spec.

Crafting recipes, blocks imported from other areas, and all that still works no matter where you are.

We really accomplished something cool with that town. So many different people contributed.

[Trull's son]

Yeah the town was excellent. The nether highway was also great.

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

Still playing, though have been without internet (and moving to Colorado for that matter) for the past week or so.

[Defiance]

Just started playing again. I tried to do some stuff in creative mode. I have a lot of cool ideas, but damn I am poor when it comes to execution. I've found that Hardcore Survival mode is where the fun is at for me. It makes building awesome structures feel more rewarding.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Having a bit of a lull here. Got on for a few mins over the weekend but was busy parenting most of the time.

[Messremb]

Been a bit quiet the last few weeks for me and likely will be for 2 more yet.

My sorting hall is almost complete, alas server has crashed.

CF/HO, can either of you get it restarted? I'm getting connection time outs on PuTTY.

[HiddenOne]

send me a PM next time, Mess, it will come to my phone - I haven't check this thread today until now



I will notify server owner of downage

[Messremb]

Will do, it's back up now so guess it is fixed

[HiddenOne]

guess I should have threatened to destroy his pitiful soul with fire and anguish a little sooner, eh

[Gust Hubb]

On tonight. Also come to really love this animator on YouTube:

Who's in charge of the server these days? My friend's kid who is 9 has requested to join the server.
