Spacedeck

I ended up destroying my first build today and ventured out a little. I found a really nice river that I've started to build along. I don't have a compass but it's actually pretty close to the spawn area. Just head in the direction that the sun / moon rise and you will find the river. Looks great!

Well to be honest, I'm not expecting a huge amount of activity on the server, might just be a nice thing to have in case people do fancy jumping on. I can also change the server to mini games as and when everyone feels like a change from the world we'll create. What's your username?

Who started building on top of the mountain? Just noticed it now 😎. I'd never thought of building in such locations. @Greboth so you in?

Maybe in a couple of years, I've only just purchased Tekken 7 😂. Plus it doesn't help I'm pretty naff at these games but still really enjoy them.

I haven't loaded up the game recently, so haven't done any times but if we're changing tracks then I'll hold off.

Just had a look and it seems it was. My bad, try it now and see if it has changed? Not logging in as on WoW but will be on later.

Would that work in an online server? I would guess the day / night cycle is the same for everyone? However I do have the ability to do "/time set day" whenever it gets dark 😂

I'm not even sure what I'm doing on MC. I've built a base that can keep me safe at night while I gather other resources, but I think I might need to venture out and see if I can find a good place to settle. Or just flatten the land I currently sit on.

That's a good question. In-game, did you click on Realms (the bottom option?). https://help.mojang.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1668614-joining-a-player-s-realm

There is just something about this band that I fell in love with as a teenager and have just loved ever since. One of the greatest songs they have produced.

@phil bottle I hear the servers aren't working for EU? I think some streamer was playing on Asia servers to get a game.

@Plumbers Crack Invited mate. If anyone knows anyone else who plays MC on PC, tag them.

The server I've opened is for Java Edition and it can have up to 10 friends (11 inc the server owner). So post away and I'll send an invite. So if by the end of this trial we have more interest than 11 players, we will need to look at other server options. This first month will sort of be a test to see how it goes. EDIT: In it's current state, if you're PSN only for MineCraft, we could still make it work if those who planned on playing Java would move to Windows 10 Edition? On further research, I don't think Sony allow cross play on PSN for MineCraft. The list of devices seem to be: CAN I PLAY ON REALMS ACROSS DIFFERENT DEVICES? Yes! Most versions of Minecraft now allow players to get together, regardless of which device they're on. Anyone playing on Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Android, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Windows 10, Windows Phone, Amazon Fire tablets or Gear VR can play together. Players of Minecraft Java Edition can currently only play with each other.

Sure thing, just invited.

I've decided to start my free trial for a Realms server. So if you're on Java Edition and want to have a test and see how it holds up, let me know your username and I'll invite you. I'm not sure on what preferences people have for game modes and such, but I suppose these can be changed later. Set it up as a Survival, Normal, all the settings a default game of MC would load as.

I've looked some more into these realms and yes, they are just servers hosted by Mojang, so they'd be up 24/7. There is two versions of these realms, one for Mobile / Consoles and one for Java Edition. The limitation is that these different Editions can't be played together. They seem to only supports up to 10 players in a server, which for us wouldn't be an issue? I don't know how many we have that would play? Some info from the FAQ; HOW MUCH DOES A REALMS SUBSCRIPTION COST? Realms has slightly different pricing plans for different platforms. The cheapest is $3.99 per month for a server supporting up to 3 simultaneous players (including the owner) on the version that runs on mobile, console and Windows 10. It's $7.99 for a server supporting up to 11 simultaneous players. The PC / Mac version starts at £5.59 for a server supporting up to 11 players. You'll get the best deal if you’ve set up a recurring subscription, or buy multiple months at once. Windows 10 doesn't allow recurring subscriptions." CAN I EXPORT MY MINECRAFT MAP FROM REALMS? You can export your maps from any versions of Realms at any time, even for a limited duration after your subscription has expired. CAN I UPLOAD MY MINECRAFT MAP ONTO REALMS? Yes, you can upload your own maps to Realms! We currently support worlds up to 5GB in size. That’s really big, in case you were wondering. In order to use a world template from the Minecraft Marketplace on mobile, Windows 10 or console, you should create a new world using the template, then upload the world to your Realm. DOES REALMS SUPPORT MODDING? The Java Edition version has support for a growing number of minigames and custom maps made by the community, while Realms on mobile, console and Windows 10 has support for Add-Ons and marketplace maps, textures and skins. However, full modding support is not yet available. Sorry! CAN I USE ADMIN COMMANDS? Yes. Owners of Realms on any platform will have access to most existing commands. On Minecraft for mobile, Windows 10 or console, Realm owners can also promote members to be operators, which allows them to use slash commands in game as well, but does not grant them any other admin rights. Full info can be found here: https://minecraft.net/en-us/realms/faq/ So the most limiting factor could possibly be Mods? But would we really need Mods? You can get a free 30 days trial of Realms and even if only 3 of us was playing, the cost monthly split between 3 would only be £1.80. The more players, the cheaper it becomes.

Having had a look at the list of games they are offering, nothing really stands out to me to warrant another subscription. Plus if these games was purchased at their lowest historical low price, would they even be worth the price of Nitro for a year?

Anyone else getting errors today on this forum?

I haven't played MC since MS took over. Might be interested in trying it again. What are MineCraft Realms? Are they simply just servers hosted by MS? Could they be an option on a monthly basis if everyone who uses them splits the cost? Also, are you guys playing Windows aka Java Edition? Or are some of you W10 Store / Xbox based?

I did attempt this again this morning but I think I'm ready to move on now.

Video Games Live Level 6 album. I'm not sure on when it releases to the public but as a Kickstarter backer, we got it a little early. IMO it's one of the best VGL albums to date.

Depends on the platform. I couldn't imagine having my entire Steam library as physical products, so PC is always digital. Plus even buying physical PC games nowadays, normally just provides a Steam code in the box. Consoles I really like physical but I don't buy many of these anyway. The VITA I also like physical but most of my games for VITA are from PS Plus.

How much in general does it cost to send a PS4 controller? I do have a blue DS4 in which at one point I removed the little springs in the trigger buttons, can't remember why but I was having an issue with it. Turns out I now don't use the controller as it just doesn't help the triggers to feel usable. I have myself tried to fix this but I wasn't successful. So if anything it would just require replacing them to make the triggers working as before. EDIT: Thinking about it, one of the triggers may have snapped, so thay too might need replacing.

@Rumelylady have you made anymore progress? I don't have anything to show just yet as I want to finish one side first. I'm some way over half way through the first half of the banner. Could be ready to show in a week or so, depending on how much time I dedicate.
