Lots of errors in the console which used to be fairly intermittant. Now seems to be almost constant. It's weird though as I've got another MC server running on a different box and different host yet it has the same problem. (The server isn't overloaded either, nothing has changed since it has been running fine).

I wonder if Mojang are doing something stupid.

Waldo you run another MC server too, are you see lots of these errors lately?

Cowboy · 30th September 2011, 14:59

After a load of continuous errors they seemed to have stopped now on both servers.

Odd!

Waldo · 30th September 2011, 15:39

not seeing any errors atm, ubuntu server with a few forums and apache hosts on it.

Cowboy · 30th September 2011, 15:49

Yeah I've got one linux one and one windows. Both showed the same.

I blame Rince.

verve_rat · 30th September 2011, 15:50

The system time reference makes me think some sort of daylight savings something something?

Do the servers phone home to minecraft.net?

Pfft. Creative server. Lame.

Who owns the stunted little track running halfway around the pond with the underwater portal? I'd like to remove that dead end section opposite the farm and use that cliff face.

Waldo · 1st October 2011, 05:59

thats verves the bottom section of that face has a plan in mind

A Corpse · 1st October 2011, 10:47

Bleh ok.

A Corpse · 1st October 2011, 11:18

Right. Spawn's getting crowded, and overland rail is inefficient. Are we still avoiding opening up new areas or can I open up an "island" in the dark? 1.9's not exactly looking like a treasure trove of love that we want to save ourselves for.

TBH the only part of 1.9 I'm interested in is bringing back snow biomes + NPC villages. Everything else? Meh.

The nether bridges is perhaps the only think I can think of that's worth waiting for - will make things like nether-rail much quicker to set up.

Personally I don't mind either way anymore, but I'm only an occasional participant on the server, so <shrug>.

mpx · 1st October 2011, 15:28

1.9 looks like a big fat 'meh'. Go explore IMO. The only thing that I thought we weren't expanding for were the NPCs, but they don't add anything to the game at all. I don't even know why they're being put in if they don't even do anything yet.

mpx · 1st October 2011, 18:26

With a help of a few friends, my wheat farm is now complete!
It's free for everyone to use but I'd appreciate it if you replant what you harvest and replow any disturbed dirt you find.

Wheat is a good source of food but is also used for breeding animals in 1.9, so when it rolls around you know where to find some wheat!

BoyWonder · 1st October 2011, 19:36

Nice work

Nah not time sar.

What config are you running for Java? ...
I used to have these a lot (as the server was loaded and configured mainly for ... er "backups of linux" ....).
Since 1.8.1 I've had to mod mine now it runs "error" free .... well ish.... took some fucken forhead beating and tuning but now it runs like butter on a hotplate.

Your castle looks very good from your pic
Will be cool if we can herd and breed animals in 1.9
Animals in 1.8 are boring and scarce or maybe we haven't made an area suitable for animals to spawn?
Can't wait till our exams are over this mon!

Java config?

I'm not sure, I wasn't involved with the setup. What should I be looking at?

(firstly before providing advice ... I advise I am not a java guru ... I figured most of this out via the java docs....and some minecraft forum jazz...).
Yeah theres a number of things you can do to java to make it run more optimal for large load/high through put etc etc...

My server runs heaps of other shit besides Minecraft but minecraft is the most "resource critical" eg ... if its running like ass .. users notice .. .people using the http/file sharing components? ... Don't notice or care so I setup mine around that.

That being said this has been the best config/setup I've found so far for my server:
screen -t "MinecraftServer" -S "MinecraftServer" bash -c 'ionice -c1 -n1 nice -n -2 /usr/bin/java -server -verbose:gc -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:SurvivorRatio=10 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -XX:UseSSE=3 -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 -XX:+UseParallelOldGC -XX:+UseBiasedLocking -XX:+AggressiveOpts -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui ; exit'

Brief explanation of my understanding...
I use screen to run the shell in ... if shell = quit then the screen session dies ... etc etc (can also use this to create auto reload scripts if req).
ionice -c1 -n1 nice -n -2 = Modifying the nice levels of Minecraft to have higher than normal process priority etc etc..

-XX:PermSize=256m = burst over ram allocation
-XX:SurvivorRatio=10 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 = Ram/memory recovery (and how fierce it is)
-XX:UseSSE=3 = Use SSE3/AMD accel (not always needed afaik)
-XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 = Mutli threaded garbage collection (ram recovery/old chunks etc)
-XX:+UseParallelOldGC = Use old Garbage collector, this lowered the number of "pauses" the server experienced.
-XX:+UseBiasedLocking = I cant remember .. but this one was recommended.....
-XX:+AggressiveOpts = Turn on fancy/new/optimal features.

Again I'm no pro .. but I bashed the shit out of this config this weekend and found that it worked best on these for my box .... ymmv...

mpx · 3rd October 2011, 21:25

Mah farm is looking pretty good. I had to replace the grass since animals were spawning, but it still looks pretty nice.

Also, KFC anyone?

crocos · 3rd October 2011, 21:50

All those chickens: How?

mpx · 3rd October 2011, 22:52

Eggs can be chucked and have a chance of spawning a chicken.

crocos · 3rd October 2011, 23:57

That's... That's a lot of eggs you laid.

Kryten · 4th October 2011, 08:03

My experiments with eggs and chickens have led me to the conclusion that it's not worth it, or at least not worth trying to build an automated egg collector. The return on thrown eggs is around 1 chicken per 16 eggs - that's a lot of cake!

pxpx · 4th October 2011, 09:14

mpx, new texture pack?

I didn't really notice, I'd just run around and collect all the eggs while throwing a stack as I did it. Results are that and cow's present outside his house.

I've got two chests full and had to make another three because I get about 6 stacks every time I enter now D:

pxpx: It's gerudoku's new one, but I'm indifferent about it, thinking of going back to Ninjadoku.

mpx · 4th October 2011, 14:08

Actually I tried the Gerudoku's "Light" version (there's Light, High and Dark contrast ones) and I quite like it. Not much of a fan of the GUI but the textures themselves a nice and there's a font change which is good too.

Cowboy · 5th October 2011, 10:29

So I've setup dynmap for the games2 minecraft server. It looks pretty awesome.

I think it's the same one that Bites was suggesting a few pages back. I might look at doing it for our one too when we upgrade to bukkit.

/love dynmap :>

as a tip don't use the internal webserver .. it shit and causes spikes on the server itself :/ .... via apache removed the weirdness.

swt, thanks for the tip. Just changed it and it's much faster with apache too.

It's just a command to add one with whatever name you want.

One of the players decided he wanted a Lumbridge marker as that's the name of his little area there

Cowboy · 6th October 2011, 10:55

Ok guys I decided to take the plunge and switch the server over to Bukkit. I've currently only loaded Lockette (the chest locking plugin).

I've backed up the world before doing this so if there are any problem it can be reverted. When 1.9 comes out there may be a short delay until bukkit and lockette are updated. I got sick of waiting for 1.9 and I don't think anyone really cares much for 1.9 anyway that they can't wait.

For more information on Lockette you can go here http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/sec...556-1185.4336/

sounds good batman. whose got the longest name? 15 character limit I believe

mpx · 6th October 2011, 11:25

Awesome! (Just as pxpx and I finished hiding our chests! haha).

Also, anyone got a screenshot of the progress done in the nether castle? I left before everyone finished!

Not a whole lot more tbh. The wings' walls are both complete. Just needs a top as does the room in the middle.

Other than that it's much the same.
