I'm gonna download thw new prerelease. How do I create a backup?
Click to expand...

i think at one point a backup tool was integrated into the launcher, but i cannot find it any more...
Hit Windows + r and type %appdata% (you can also type %appdata% into the addresws bar in windows explorer and achieve the same result)
open the .minecraft folder, all of your worlds will be in the "saves" folder.
I generally just back up the whole .minecraft folder, it's largely unnecessary though
 
Lol, 1.8 looks like it will be wunerful! Think I'll join the smogcraft once 1.8 officially comes out, so I won't have to start all over again if I actually join during 1.7. Over all, 1.8 has given us some really cool things. Can't wait to find an endermen dungeon!
 
There is no 1.8 IP.

Seems 1.8 OFFICIAL has dropped. The Smogcraft server will remain 1.7.3 until it's deemed stable and the plugins we use are updated. If you want to continue playing on the interim map, then obviously do not update, or at least back up your 1.7.3 jar so you can revert back if you want jump on.
 
1.8 is amazing guys. i just died on my first survival world of the patch... spawned in a biome of what seemed like dense, 'deciduous' trees and walked a bit due southwest to a collection of small hills, wild grass and many pigs. i built my first night's house at the top of one of the hills and i was lucky enough to find a ravine on the far side! the next day i went down into the ravine to explore. did a bit of mining -- found an underground pond in a cave rich in coal and steel not far below the surface.

naturally, i went deeper. after a bit of mining (i was following the sounds of some zombies somewhere underneath me) i broke into an abandoned mineshaft! out of nowhere came two creepers -- i literally jumped. i killed one, the other blew up on me. wandering through the abandoned mine shaft was so creepy -- i loved it. i was afraid to run into an enderman (still haven't seen one) the whole time so i made my way very slowly. after a while i spotted a monster spawner in the distance, surrounded by cobwebs. when i got closer, a cave spider jumped onto me from above. i'll admit, i yelled. i wasn't able to sack the spawner before getting killed by cave spiders.

i decided to play hardcore survival for a bit so i'll have to start another world. i can't wait though! 1.8 is great so far imo.
 
1.8 is really fun. Found a ravine into an impossibly large network of mineshafts that I haven't even fully explored yet. Walked out of it all with tons of loot from all the chests that spawned. Hunger is a bit annoying on hard. Great update!

I still have performance issues on this laptop even after turning all the settings down low. Pretty upsetting.

I was flipping out when I saw this.

Love the new terrain gen.
 
I dunno if this is only near lava or whatever, i've not properly explored or anything yet, but the sort of scorched orangey tinting on the blocks in rooms with lava is really cool, gonna go tunnelling to see what I can find later though, hopefully the mines etc are good
 
This must be your first update. Bless. Bug fixes happen all the time after a new update, expect a few more over the coming days.

In other news, I'd like to announce two new op/mods for smogcraft: BenVDD and Layell!

Ben is going to be our plugin monkey, trying to dominate permissions so people can have pretty colours and such (among other things!). Layell's going to be helping with general server moderation, since we're a bit light on that front. They'll both do a smashing job I'm sure!
 
In preparation I have edited my skin to have a crown.Bowing is optional but may be rewarded.

Just kidding of course, I'm sure nobody will notice anything since we have a great server.
 
Ooooh Layell... There is a little bit of truth in every "just kidding". Expect penitence.

Meanwhile, as everybody has said, I am freakin' pumped for Smogcraft to be kicked into full gear again!!
 
Clay seems to be much more common, on the river I settled on I found 5 seperate clay veins all within a 50 block radius. I didn't see anything about that in the changelog
Im proceding to make a brick based house

Also good work Layell and Ben
 
FINALLY I can get down to downloading 1.8!!!! Woot! But first, a toast. *Eats pizza slice. Also, how do you take a photo of things? Whats the control?
