So. Release day at long last - what do you think of it so far? Had any problems downloading?
I'm currently trying to set up a server with 1.0.0 for me and some friends myself, and haven't been able to get on the web page to download the newest version yet myself - I guess I'll just have to be patient.:(
On the bright side, I've gotten the patch to my client. That's a start, at least. And unlike the sound on the livecast it's a lot less laggy on my computer than MC 0.8.
EDIT: 404 posts. How appropriate for the occasion.

Yeah. >:

One thing I found that's changed since beta 1.8 when I last played it two months ago is that caves have
gotten a lot scarier (well, that might be the wrong word - terrifying?) with the addition of food and what
seems like turning up the spawn rate of mobs, and another thing I can't put quite put my finger on - it feels
like they've changed something to the way caves are generated since last time I played.
And sprint has actually made it more scary, as it's just another thing that you come to rely on that can fail at any
moment - and frequently does - when you're underground and without any food or food source. Good luck getting
up again alive with those resources you've spent the last hour getting hold of with half a heart left.
:ylove:

Yeah, noticed that. I and all of my friends are having a lot of problems logging in to pretty much any server we've tried and usually play on so far - we're without fail getting disconnected on the first few tries to log in
with either "End of Stream" or "SMP: Internal exception: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection
abort: recv failed" as the error message. It works flawlessly after you manage to get in, though.
I like the flying stuff of the abandoned mines in the ravines I find. Looks fancy.
Also, those cave spiders are born OPninjas, stacking up to 4 or 5 in one block of total size behind one of those wood blocks and then sneak jump you. Not 1.0.0, but still, with the increased mob spawn rate, ugh.
Might be a little gravedig, but..
What if we make a Minecraft server and start building stuff from Disco there (like ships, stations, etc).
YES I know that everyone will be playing 4.86, but still this idea seems nice to me, imagine Barge made of cubes?:crazy:
