Welcome to the weather effect episode to today's date is June sick or not June 6 June 22nd 2019 about messed up already. I am Duds or also known as does versus in most social media servers sir, and I'm bunk about people or bank for shirt. And today we're going Spoke about some Minecraft I had to work pretty much all week this week. So I didn't get to play much. But what about you did you get to do something this week? I did some things but I wasn't
tripping over my own tongue. So right one of those things we actually worked on in stream last night was putting houses in front of my keep and I still plan on doing some God are more why we still have the chance because I mean, it's like you kind of have to have it now, right?
Everyone's making God over. Yeah, even though I'm starting to wonder if I should start making some just just because we can I get ya I literally think I'm going to make some and just put it in a case and be like look, that's my God. Remember I never where I got it and there it is. Pretty much. Yeah. Well, at least you could put it on an armor stand maybe yeah. All right. So yeah, you had an actual work and then you are playing another game this week. I did feel a bit of City skylines.
I never played that but I hear a lot of good things about it. It's sort of like A newer version of the old Sim City, I guess you just build a city and there's a lot of management you got to do traffic is often an issue. Yeah, it's kind of fun. But it's I don't know from each one of those games where you don't have to think too much. You can just sort of sit there really tired and just play a little bit of a game. Yeah, that's kind of like breath were wild for me, right? Yeah.
I just I switch those games up a bit and I guess this week it was this one Yeah, I tried to do breath of all a tired and then I get really bad at it and then I can't really mad because I'm bad at it and they keep dying. Yeah, it's horrible. Yeah, but so oh, yeah. Well, we're stepping all over each other. We even scripted this first part of this episode. So that's going great. I guess it's where the script sort of stops.
Its or things gets messed up. Yeah, let's just jump into my After news because it's not a lot of news this week and then we can move on to our main topic. Yeah good idea. All right, so we have one 14.3 pre-release for because you know, it's going to go to like pre-release 9 before it gets all set Bud probably. Yeah. Okay. So Pigman do not a group on players, even if the alarm
pigment has line of sight. Yeah, yeah, so so apparently and it only affected the pre-release tree according to Mojang and basically the big man wouldn't share their I grow anymore and I'm pretty sure they will again, so I guess that's that's gonna fix gold Farms again. Yeah, cuz sure. I've been a f--king at they getting a ton of gold worried that it was going to break it and have to wait for one 14.4 to come out and fix that kind of stuff. Yeah, well, I guess technically really break.
I guess you would just lose a grow often. Yeah, you have to be constantly shooting Pigman probably. Yeah, so it's a small fix. Yeah next. What do you want to call it fixed or anything like that item frames in the world disappear and caused multiple error message on the server console / placing an item frame causes client to crash that seems like a big problem. Yeah, it sounded like quite a big problem.
I did read a little bit into it. But I mean this kind of describes it already sometimes item frames because that stuff to happen. I mean and it would disappear. I think it's from 1.14 already like the the 1.14 release. Yeah. I am frames just seem to get the short shaft every update like they cause some game-breaking Mechanics for some reason and they're just like I just hold things. Yeah, they seem like such simple blocks. But I guess there's more to them. Next thing in the world border
is no longer solid. I have no clue what that was about. I'm assuming you couldn't well, can you walk through the world border now? I don't know. I was kind of assuming that the visibility of it. I guess it just turns heard of. Oh that can't be true. And now you can see through it
again. But I mean, yeah, all the things in the game can be sort of broken to maybe there was a glitch where you could sort of walk through it or something or now you get I guess they didn't fix it that you can walk through it now got that would be weird. I guess. I've no idea to yeah. No one understands what that one's about. Go ahead and like tweet us or let us know in the emails and all that kind of things.
I assumed it was about being able to see through it. more'n likely probably and for the last bug fix on pre-release for blazes can now see through blocks. They shouldn't be able to or they could see through blocks.
They shouldn't be able to so I guess they were constantly being Agra which broke a lot of Blaze Farms because obviously they fly up when they're after yeah pretty much I sort of read into it. But but I forgot a little bit again with there was something about trap doors as well that they could see through And that they know gaunt anymore. Okay, something like that. But it should be should be better. Yeah, I mean I always use the
old what do you call it? The V Farm where it had just Minecarts going back and forth back forth for the blaze Farms. I always liked that one. Yeah better. Yeah, but that obviously with got thrashed if they could see through blocks. Yeah, I mean it would be wreck really bad. Yep. Yep. It's not friendly for for when somebody a gross Ablaze. No.
No, that's not how it is. I think it's easier to make them and one of the other so I'm not sure also, I'm not a big fan of a lot of Pistons pushing stuff that tends to lag a bit. Yeah, and it's noisy. So you're just AFK and it's extremely noisy room. Oh, yeah that that to this. Zara quite loud Okay, the last little bit of Minecraft news is the new launcher they have that sin beta you actually played around with it. Whereas I have read about it.
Yeah, what's the video about it? Carla girl linked it to us I think of us and and then I was like, I'll just give it a go. I'll look in it goes there was one aspect in it that I thought was really interesting which was to patch notes. I thought that's nice that you can look at the patch notes, and I tried that. Unsure and I went through the patch notes and it was just the updates 1.14. So it didn't even have 114 one two or three.
No, so it was sort of behind quite a bit and if it was things like pre-release bug fixes or that kind of patch notes, that would be interesting. But this is like quite old news already. Yeah, which was a bit of a shame then again. It's still in beta so they might work. Cone that hopefully for the rest, it looks like one of those windows 10 app sort of they made it a bit. How do you call it extreme more
streamlined? I guess it's slightly bigger than it used to be. I like they're after the really small launcher and just sort of Click through it because you don't really use it for much. Yeah, so I'm not a huge fan of the new the new launcher as well that the current line shall we use seems fairly new to me still we're not using that too long. That's true. I have a complaint on the new
launcher though. I really Like the white screen that says like no Yang or whatever on it is a million or Minecraft. It has a red loading bar. Oh, yeah when you start up the game because I play in a rather dark room. I mean, it's not super dark. I have lamps and stuff on but when that white hits me in the eyes, I'm just like wow. Yeah, and I often play late at night. So it's you don't want a big white screen up in your face. Yeah.
Well if it changes that I'm all for It but I'm with you I like the small launchers because you're on it for half a second. I just want things to be easier to access. I don't want to have to click through multiple tabs screens to choose things. Well, the temp screens didn't change much. They're still still Deb
screamed. I think they've renamed the settings to I didn't know what they renamed it to but are the profiles which is still very much the same you just see a little Staff profiles you have and you can easily adjust slightly different configure, but it's still for visibility and ease of access. I don't think it changed at all. It's just a visual sort of change. Okay, I mean that's kind of disappointing unless you really
like clean looks I guess. Yeah, I mean it's a maybe there's some people have a preference stay on the launch or a little bit longer than most people. For me, I yeah to me. The only thing that came out of the new launcher I liked the most was the fact that can change my skin there and I didn't have to go to the Minecraft website. Yeah, but you could already do that with the current launcher. Right.
Well, I'm that's what I'm saying the new launcher at least when they introduced it came out with this really good feature of being able to change your skin. It's like what is this now new Launcher coming out with that is going to make me want to use instead. Yeah. Well as I set the first thing that stood out to me was to patch notes, but they were slightly disappointing.
I hope they keep that really up-to-date that you can really true to pre-releases and the actual current news and maybe it will once it comes He's out of beta. We don't know for sure. Yeah, I mean obviously it's beta so they'll change quite a bit. I'm assuming still yeah my hard drive my PC ramp down forget how large it loud I dude I can't talk today. So today is a perfect day to record a podcast. I mean, yeah, but you have those
days it's gonna happen. I'm really thinking about switching to all ssds in this computer just because of that noise. Yeah, they can make a lot of noise. Did you ever clean them up a little bit or something? Okay. Yeah. Oh my one terabyte hard drive. I'm using like 25% of it. Okay, that's something much. You know, it's like I don't really need a terabyte. I can go with another 500 gigabyte SSD and be good. Yeah mine doing make that much noise anymore.
But I remember old or PCS of mine who did that. It's a helluva noise hip really is. But again, let's yeah, let's go ahead and Minecraft news. We I think we can say it is done for the week. It's not a lot happened this week. No. I guess the most noteworthy. Is that about that launcher? Which looks cool from the outside but acts like the old launcher but bigger this time pretty much. Okay, so let's get into the main topic to session which when I read it, this is Carl's idea.
I thought was a great discussion. And hopefully it turns out to be a great discussion. I think we can get a see a lot of comments about it. Yeah, there's a lot of different opinions to have about this topic. This is going to say so this week's main topic is the ups and downs of single player versus
Minecraft Survival. right and to me this is if it's going to cover a lot of stuff such as let's start with single player, right me. I've never really been a single player or a single player player, right? Yeah, you jump straight into multiplayer the right. I've never really done it by myself. But okay, I see the ups for it like so the single-player world you get to build it. However, you want no longer. Are you stuck building next to that guy?
Building the dirt Hut he gets like three weeks into the season is still in a dirt Hut and then just leaves and quits doesn't play anymore. Yeah, you don't just enjoy being real know those guys, right? It's like, oh man, unless you're on a YouTube servers like the ripple effect where you're just surrounded by great Builders. Yeah, that's true. And I don't think that that's really great. I guess to see you if you run into a desert and all the sense
still there. Yes. Yes, I don't know how many times I've gone to a desert. Like I still have to walk like for her blocks before he finds and you have to crawl through something even Stone trying which is smaller annoying. Usually you fairly ugly as well. The desert turns into the Badlands. Yeah. Yeah, the same goes kind of for the Mesa. They usually get throw up quite badly and multiplayer all discussed it.
They're already sort of rare. Yeah, and then in your single player that they're still like and 32 usually It is kind of nice. Yeah, that mean the world is Euro. You can choose any theme and that's what the theme of the world. It's going to be. It's going to be all you so you how you get the gratification knowing that anything anyone sees in this world. That was you and you alone. Which to me seems really cool. Yeah not to mention. You can you can have your own kind of set things right?
For example a hard course world. You couldn't do that in multiplayer. I guess you've done but it would be alt you know things like that. You can you cannot little customizations. You don't have to discuss that with possible so remembers if you want some bread kidding literally make it whatever you
want say. You really don't feel like going in mining 400 things of saying you just kind of want to build this big thing out of glass you can give yourself glass or glass or sand and just say I'm going to build this even if you're only building in survival. It's a single-player world. Is it really cheating right then?
Well, I guess that's always going to be a discussion of it also points to make about it. But yeah, I mean if it's to conserve the land, right especially things like glass it's just a little Time Saver if you would do it and yeah taking up an entire desert. It's just taking some time but with you really Most of it is sort of best shift. I'm right you have to wait until it's all yeah melted and stuff.
Well, I mean in maybe you set up your Traders so you can trade for all that said you don't have to dig up the train. Yeah. Yeah. I guess that's another nice point if you if you are on the single-player world today this volunteering star all yours. Yeah. See you can have like any any farms you one running all the time and none of the farms.
You don't want running all the time and it's gonna be a lot smoother because you're the only one running those Farms exactly like personally, I probably would just get like an iron farm and maybe some vegetable farm so I could trade easily with filters for the rest. I Meet much that runs like constantly. Yeah. So what about multiplayer? What are what are some things you? You prefer over multiplayer since you since you skipped like single player pretty much.
What's me? I like I like being able to really look at other people's creativity to earn my creativity if that makes sense, right? Yeah just get inspiration from all those basically. Yeah. I mean you have feed off other people's built. So when other people around me are building watching good, he's going nuts. I have somebody next door hammering something and I can hear it. My headset, but I don't think it's coming through on the audio system. It's like okay every day.
Yeah 30 seconds. Like what the heck is that? I didn't know if there was shooting scene gets true. I might be a little bit I think it is but I think when we do some editing it'll take it out. So it'll be fine. Yeah, those of you episode 2 is full of weird stuff to last episode. We had the what is it motorcycle or truck guy driving behind me. You have a washing machine now.
Yeah. Yeah. All right, if told about that things I like about multiplayer servers is definitely the inspiration because nobody builds the same. Yeah, you can kind of build a little bit of like but everyone does it differently. Yeah, everyone has his own style. Even if you would build exactly. Yeah, if you built the same team, yeah, thanks would still look completely different. Yeah, I look at I mentioned it last night on stream Magoo's starter house and my starter house.
They're built basically using the same materials and while they look similar the two very different structures. Yeah. Yeah, I mean you guys used kind of how do you say it? I guess sort of standard materials goes it's Mone like Spritz mainly Spruce and Spruce looks right and then there's some gray concrete or something like that, but it gives you so much variety to build and like they're so versatile blocks, I guess.
Yeah, which which you just pointed out like you guys pretty much use the same stuff but so Different builds. Yeah, it's just nice. Yeah, but didn't that makes me want to go back to what I don't like about single player why I just skipped it. Totally you have to be your own creative inspiration there. Yeah, you got you can watch YouTube videos and stuff. But to me seeing it in person gives you a totally different experience.
So right it's like if I were to play in a single player world, I got the Feeling within two months. I would start to go. I don't know what to build. I mean you can just keep building Farms left and right but at some point Farms kind of get boring. Yeah, you don't really build for anyone. Nobody's really gonna see it unless you do YouTube or streaming but even then there's nobody who's gonna really woke through the world, which is a shame.
Yeah. Another thing for me is I'm not much especially tunnels and that kind of stuff. I'm not a big fan of building that so my mother if I would have Single player world would probably be not very decorated because I don't like doing that and then on the multiplayer server, you have people who like doing that so you can sort of share those tasks and the things you don't want to decorate will
get decorated by someone. Yeah, I think if I were to do a single player world, I would not have another hope period I think I would use command blocks that would teleport you to locations. Yeah, that's that's a good idea as well. I mean probably you don't use that much area. Anyway, you'll know the on the surface so you could probably fly everywhere where you need to go. That's true, too. Yeah, I didn't really play much of a single player world since since he lighter I showed up.
Yeah. I mean, yeah, wouldn't it Electra come in? We were all on was it Discworld we met yeah episode and that was a small world and we could we could fly just about everywhere on the world in a little bit of you have any light for showed up? I don't think many people used and not all that much anymore. Hmm. Which is why I think that world never really got another Hub the way it did.
Yeah, I felt it took a while. Yeah, I think that was the last build on that series or whatever was the nether Hub. Like we finished it may be a month before we updated the map. Yeah, that's a great point of to 2y multiplayer servers are also must well because that was almost really a group project. We worked on it like yeah one point I think of like I don't know maybe ten people one time or we were all working at the same time on the narrow road, which was really cool.
Yeah, there's about five or six that were constantly digging while the others were starting to build. Yeah, and then you still had two or three that were resource gathering for everyone. So resources would never run out because it used a lot of chords quite a lot. Yeah, that was a dumb idea. Yeah courts isn't isn't usually the smartest block to take if you want to build big stuff. Yeah, another thing that multiplayer is great is
obviously there. Just a community of people to hang out with you can talk a bit before us when you're playing. Yeah, I don't always have to play you can sort of just hang out as it were I mean I look at is I wouldn't have met you without a multiplayer Minecraft server. We live. Yeah, they're on opposite sides of the world. Yeah, yeah, it was a shop that sort of started it wasn't it me ordering a tunnel. Yeah, babe. I was doing another tunnel shop
in Bank ordered a tunnel. That was what 900 blocks long. It was it was quite a long tunnel. I'm assuming it's more than I None with the I don't remember. It's a long ago well and it didn't help I came up with a complicated design that required multiple layers. MS2 was enough beautiful tunnel. And then I retired for making nothing. Yep. Yep. It was a it was a lot of work.
I remember I immediately Dugout like the area as well because I didn't know like when you would start a wooden and I didn't want you to have to wait. Yeah, so I like instantly dig out that in Vile total which is quite a grind but saying here's the problem. I didn't plan on starting so quickly, but because you dug it out, I went man this guy really must want this tunnel done it better. It's just perfect. I didn't have all the Heels together I only had enough for maybe half way.
I think I helped God or yourself or quite a bit of that. Yeah, just like oh God so that we just fed into each other doing that but that's the best part about multiplayer servers. Yeah that that's yeah. That was great and we wouldn't have had that without the multiplayer. Yeah, I think by myself it would take me about a month to finish that tunnel. Whereas I had you it took us maybe what two weekends. We had a knocked out like didn't even Auto people end up helping as well.
Yeah, I think NAB skier helped. Yeah. I seem to remember that someone started helping as well. I mean that was that was quite a quite a little group that was communal to each other. I do you call it anyway on that server. Mmm, which later on became sort of gamma craft, I guess. Yeah one see that actually brings up a good point in like I'm how common craft started because we were all on what was even in the name of that server that we were realm of survivors realm of survivors.
And the mods there weren't very good. Like they were very much into if you were in there click you could get away with murder on that server quite literally. I think my last day was I was working on the mailbox room and a guy just wrote up and just killed me and then I went back to get my stuff and he killed me again. I was like, okay, so I'm done here. Yeah, that's going to be hard to continue if that happens.
Yeah, and then I was like, you know what I'm gonna start a server where everyone can play and it's a safe area to build you don't have to worry about griefing and all that stuff. We're going to make a tight ship and that's going to be that and that's how come you have started mentioning. It works out for quite a long time. Yeah, mentioned it to a few other people they joined and then they mentioned to their friends and their friends joined
and I think that serve a lot. Oh man lasted three years or close to something like that. Yeah, and it didn't even that like it didn't even stopped because it died out or something. It's we showed of switched to to this server with a lot of YouTubers. Yeah. For me it just kind of so for me if you're going to be an admin on a multiplayer server. You have to play on the multiplayer server at least on a regular basis. You have to see what the server's doing. At least.
Yeah, I think we have to yeah, I agree it got to the point where I was spending more time admitting that I was playing. And so when I reached out to the ripple effect about taking on the YouTubers for common craft and they were like, yeah sure. That was awesome. It was a load off. My shoulders that I no longer had to do admitting and I could
just play the game. Yeah. Yeah. I can I fully agree with that for me. It was to say my was it took quite a bit of time to admin and all that stuff or especially cuz you were my tech guy and I had literally said hey could we do this and you're like, give me a day usually buying what I can do. Yeah, usually within a couple hours. You're like, yes, we can do it or no, we can't Yeah, that's I mean that was the more fun parts
to be honest. I was also a lot of well sort of the river case stinks that had to be done and it's like you said it's a load of a load of your shoulders. Do you know I have to answer really worry about those things anymore. Well, I always had a hated dealing with kids that were cheating on the servers and then explain to them why you were baiting them as I'm just like blatantly lied to your face. I wasn't x-raying really cuz I watched you for 15 minutes literally x-ray.
Yeah, but it wasn't me. My sister was on my account bubble, but it's like you are responsible for your account. Mmm. Yeah, they always try to weasel their way out of it to be that was the worst part. I hated Banning people, but at the same time I felt as I mean, it was your job to protect the people who were playing the game the right way. Even if they weren't very good at the game, even if like your opinion didn't really line up with theirs if they followed your rules.
It was your job to make sure their bills were safe and they weren't getting cheated out of a fun experience to exactly well like you said, right you start with the server to create sort of a safe environment for everyone.
Yeah. It takes a bit of work to do hole to hold that but I mean it pays off if you manage to do it, I would say I think so. But it's a lot of work and you got to be committed to it for sure you get to be online on the server and have a look at things and you know, it's not something you can do from a distance for sure.
Right and when your server breaks because it will you better have a knowledge on how to fix it or have somebody with you who knows how to fix it. Yeah, you need I mean even though if you don't if you know it all by yourself, you gonna need some help I would say. Yeah, it's a lot of work especially for one person to do it. You want to handle some work to do e make it easier on yourself? Yeah. Well, that was the problem with the Discworld. I had the idea of let's do a
custom map. Nobody really plays on custom maps. But at the same time, hey, don't tear up the terrain. Well how we gonna mind sand and clay and all that stuff? Yeah, and it had to be set up in a real radar as well because you yeah, we had a I guess dual world with a secondary seat on it with a really small world borders like 2,500 blocks. But yeah within that two hundred or two thousand five hundred blocks you had every biome.
So if you wanted to mine it you could and the thought process there was if you ran out of resources there, we would just reset the seed and everything would come back. Yeah, exactly. And that worked out quite well, I would say you like the whole map Cuts safe than the was just designated area where we could well it was destroyed the world. Basically. It was a little Annoying having to go back to spawn town to go mining for likes and stuff.
But It was so small. Like you said you could just fly there you didn't have to go into the nether or anything like that. Yeah. Well and for me personally if you have to go to a mining desert or if you have to go to spawn down it really doesn't matter except if you often visits Fountain spawn down or if a lot of reason to visit it, it's various going to get nicer,
right? Yes more people are there and you know, well, that was really the first season we did a shopping district and we did that in spawn town and I thought it was amazing. Oh, yeah, that was a really cool area. We talked so highly I mean we're two episodes in and both episodes Discworld has been brought up. I mean, it was sort of a special
it was sort of a special place. It's the only map I've played on that was a custom map where it was somebody actually like thought about how how the world was made instead of having random generation, and it was so well executed it was it was a beautiful world. Yeah, the guy who made the world message me because he found his world do my YouTube series and was really excited to see what we were doing.
On it. Yeah, yeah, I remember you telling me that the guy who made the world was was I think he was watching your series. He said he followed for a little was. Yeah, I'll be there was sort of a I didn't know you felt I don't know but proud maybe your honor that yeah, he's like interested in the kind of things you do because you're working on some some of his Creations.
Yeah. Yeah. I definitely thought it was big for him because he saw somebody using his mouth like and we weren't just Just exploring it and calling it done. We were adding to it making it a yeah, it wasn't just some single-player world where somebody just explored it and build a house. It was like a server they just ran for quite a while on it. Yeah, and I think we had 40 players at bat. Yeah, there are a lot of cool places and a lot of bases.
You know about 40. Well, we probably have had that many but there wasn't 40 at one time. Yeah, there were definitely a lot of notoriety places to visit. Which was it was cool, and they all stood out so much more because of the beautiful landscape around it. Well, this brings me to like the downfall of playing on a multiplayer server.
Is there as awesome as multiplayer servers are there is a ton of I don't want to say problems but things that don't go quite as planned on a multiplayer server. Yeah such as when you get back to the guy who builds the dirt Hut and stops playing after three weeks. Yeah, or the guy who just randomly decimator Mountain. Yeah, and we've been with all those kinds of players. I remember like man, that's a really nice mountain and then half of it was gone the next day.
And then they quit server the following day. Looks like so obviously it was too much work to rebuild it. Yeah, it is. Yeah heck that's when spigot and what we have what program was it was? It wasn't World a perfect core protect was all yes, and we could just roll back stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. That was great. Oh that was such a great plugin and freely was it made being on spigot word that can speak it
wasn't fun to play on there were so many little questions. books about it That's another problem multiplayer servers when you have stuff like spigot to keep lag really down low. You can't weird mechanics that don't exactly work, right? I mean you're already go game that maybe isn't fully optimized for multiplayer. Uh-huh. And then you add like stuff to it that sort of helps it being optimized. Yeah, you get me a weird stuff going on. Yeah.
What was I found one thing so I had an iron shop on a map that no episodes were ever made out of just because the map didn't last very long. Basically everyone hated it after a month mmm, but I had an iron shop in that. In shop I made it so that the iron ingots just kind of constantly looped in an item elevator, which I thought looked really cool right but in spigot, it would not reset its time exposed. Yeah. Hang on. Was it too seriously?
The dog man I'm telling you. Anyways, it wouldn't reset so my iron would just go missing after a while. That's well. You got the item clumping as well write it sort of food items that were close to each other. They would Clump up to save leg as well. They would do that. So that that the whole item elevators right? You see items show around. We just usually be like a little Clump gathering at the bottom.
And then when it was a full stack you can go up exactly it's like what World and it got rid of a lot of flight go visual stuff. And that was the first thing I did when we joined ripple effect, and I needed an item elevator. Everybody was using the bubble columns because it moves item so much quicker. I was like, yeah. No, I've never had a real item elevator that I can see the items go up and down and a nice smooth pattern before so I'm building one of those.
Yeah, that makes sense. I can't blame you for doing it. It looks really cool. Anyway, like still. Yeah, well, I mean that being said whenever I have a sorting machine and I'm not looking at him elevators bubble Vader's are the way to go just because they do get the items there faster. All right so quick so so far just a regular elevator that they're really nice it the really quick. Yeah, I like bulldoze my base. I think you got I got one. I don't I don't have much elevation.
That is you can't change. Yeah, or yeah, I should say no probably be some more later on and we'll talking about core protect and spigot to reduce stress on a server and it lags a huge stake in multiplayer servers. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's it's it's the main thing isn't it? You always should even you always have That moment when you realize the server's too stressed out and now rubber banding is my life. For example. Yeah last night. We were doing a live stream.
It was just it was bad. I think that was some of the worst I've seen since we went back to doing daily restarts. Yeah. Yeah, it was quite quite bad yesterday. What else you got a lot lately is is just the drinks aren't really loading that well for me. Yeah, especially when you first log on yeah. Yeah, it's you basically just have like the four or six chunks around you and that's just void. Yep. That's where you just kind of sit there.
Yeah. I thought if I would just sit there the things would load around me, but I found they load faster if you just can't. Talk into the void and hope you don't die the chunk seem to load faster that yeah, I don't generally do that. Usually it's fine. But I've experienced that. Sometimes you can actually fall down. Yeah well and then that's carats total and there's fault the nether last night.
I was like, I should kind of walk forward to for studies chunks and you're like, yeah, I don't know about that. No, I I mean I found out there was a few sort of aim in the think that isn't loaded you print your block or something that they can sometimes help it out. Yeah, but if it actually helps her if it's just sort of go incidents when you do it and it just sort of floats at that time, but I don't know at least it's something you can do while
waiting. Yeah, so if we talked I don't know some bad things some good things some other good things that we didn't mention was playing within your comfort zone. So if you're not good at Redstone generally on a multiplayer server the will be the one guy who's so good at Redstone. He built every Farm on the server. Yeah. Yeah, that's I mean that's sort of nice things especially for new but I also I can you can have a lot of little people who do do stuff for you.
Basically your if you don't have much time to play. Yeah the songs you see it all those people work in the kind of things. They don't have the time to build or God or a lot of stuff. So if they can Use a bit of someone who does have the time to do that and there's enjoy.
Yeah that mean that's the way I was I would play after work, but I'd only get about two hours at most every other day playing and so when you're trying to do YouTube and you have that little bit of time playing you can't spend it resource Gathering like you're gonna run out of time to make it episode. So yeah, I had to learn Redstone because I was horrible at it and I didn't like having to rely on somebody else to build my Redstone Contraption to necessitate my YouTube Hunger I
should say. Right for me. It was sort of the other way around plenty of time. So so I didn't mind. All right kind of liked having to help out other people by collecting resources or building a farm or something like that. It's just it's just kind of nice to do as well. You know, you can help out us with the time you have and they got to work they can use that. It's kind of cool. Seem to be bouncing around a lot for this topic, but this topic is so broad to me.
It's kind of hard to keep it straight. But one thing I want to talk about that we have already kind of talked about already is running your own multiplayer server versus playing on somebody else's server. And we mentioned the whole relief of not having to do admin when playing on other people servers, but we didn't talk about the downfall of having to play on somebody else's server such as they might run data packs. You really don't like or force a texture pack.
You don't really like yeah, or they might think differently about how sure things work, you know, for example, the you're trying to nail down where I like them from and some people think differently about where could come from the notice and if you're a control you can sort of figure that out, right? If you're not you're relying somebody else do to figure it out. Yeah, and that's no fun.
Which I mean brings back to how you should play on a multiplayer server and it's always thinking about everyone else when they're playing like do you really need a cow farm with a thousand cows in it? Yeah, dude little bit of social
play. I'd say it's definitely yeah need it personally I often, you know, it's interesting to build a farm because you well, it's a project to begin with and then, you know often it involves Redstone, which is Nice to play around with but like you said do you really need at those and goes to do something? Yeah would in a manual go for work. Like it's easy to God are a lot more than you need and especially on a server.
That's something you got to be careful if I takes, you know, everything that runs is something is some strain on the server. So maybe sometimes choosing something that you don't really need might be a better choice. Choice yeah, like my big thing is I want to build a bamboo Farm but right I think my bamboo Farm. Is there going to be a five to ten just straight-up bamboo stalks that I might manually break down just because I don't want one them giant flying machines.
It's a giant because they're actually compact nowadays, but flying machine that goes across the huge field just cook because I mean that hurts a server and It's noisy its noisy. Well, so well Jimbo he did want to Flying machines. But his is very small and compact compared to what I've seen most other YouTubers do. Mmm, well the first thing I noticed when I had them mu is you can't use it for that much. Yeah scaffolding and bamboo. That's it.
Yeah, it's mainly like a decoration and then scaffolding but you can you reuse it. So well that you don't need much of it and the bamboo grows so tall that she's just need a small bags. Like I have a small page, you know manually Farm it. I only had to like chop it down once and I had enough to build like Load of scaffolding and still use it for decoration. Well, I think the other big thing you can use bamboo for those fuel. Through you can make like fully self-sustaining smelter.
So I guess personally I don't melt enough to have the use or no need for that that that it needs a constant source of fuel. Also. It's a really bad fuel source, isn't it? So you need a lot. It's like burning it's like sticks. Yeah, I don't know if if I mean you really need a big field if you melt a lot I guess and to me count blocks are still kind of if you're not using kelp blocks. You should be using blaze rods. Right. Well one thing I often had was
was a charcoal little machine. I think remember once when Tomatoes it's a really compact little thing and just feed it locks and you get charcoal out of it. It's just all so great fuel. Well, I think one time I did a carpet duping machine for fuel. Yeah and whenever like it would smelt the duping machine would turn on so that's when it would make carpets. If you want whenever it was done smelting it would turn off the TV screen.
Yeah, I guess that could work. Yeah, it was totally inefficient though because every once in a while the duping machine couldn't keep up the smelter or the duping machine would break because of like a little bit of lag or something like that. Right? Well what's gonna say the carpet stuff like no fuel in the mirror of do day so you see you need you need a lot of it and that's a downside to and I would have made it fuels. Was I guess it's and they're so
noisy. Yeah, I mean anything would be tested by too much. Yeah, so it's like kelp blocks or blaze rods to me. Are they go to fuel source? Yeah, I used to go a lot too. So I would add that one, but definitely blaze rods if you have a good source for that and I gal blocks are awesome. The only downside is you have to sort of melt them down. Yeah, you gotta find a different fuel source at first. Yeah, but kelp kelp star great. They're not like simple Farms as well.
Just like the bamboo I guess. Yeah, they're good looking for some to they've got a lot of money. Yeah like 30. Yeah, not like that. They're underwater that sort of new. I guess we don't have many many farms that work on the Lord of fuel source. You have to pull from the water. It is a little bit ironic. I guess just a little bit.
Let's see. Is there any downsides to single player that we have admission because we kind of jumped right to multiplayer because that's what both me and you through done. Well, I started off playing single player before I switch to a multiplayer server and well one of the downsides or Stephanie, you know after certain point you you you just want to sort of hang out in your bill or whatever and you don't do that.
Yourself? So you build a lot but you don't really spend much time in it or at least that's how it worked for me and in the multiplayer you you don't have that issue and you can share it which in single player doesn't work, right? You can't really show out of like look what I've done here. And I think that's my favorite part of a multiplayer servers when someone first visit your base. And you're a good way through it and they go holy cow. What did you do here?
This is awesome. Yeah, that's I think the best part is when they just wander off on their own and start leaking around. Yeah sweet. There are their interests are just interested enough that they don't want to listen to you dog, and they just want to look hmm, which is also nice because you don't have to talk a lot. Talking about not talking a lot on a podcast seems kind of like a bad thing. That's true enough both gasp. You want to talk a lot? Yeah.
Well, I mean often in Minecraft. It's typing right talking as yeah here I mean discords kind of changed all that mean you had Skype through but to be discords change the way Gamers communicate and it's definitely for the better. Well your things like TeamSpeak and search for that is Railways ghost money. Yeah. I next release was preemption because one eye. Never get it set up into I wasn't willing to pay for my own
server. I'm kind of surprised actually for since we're on this topic just because I remember a few years ago already yet something like rate goal, which is really similar to this car. I didn't know if eventually switched into this court. It was it was one of the first ones I think are you could just make groups as you were going along with they were free to use and all that they mail I've been popping Discord. Yeah, I was going to say this card looks kind of similar as well.
Maybe but I don't know. But yeah, it's Discord definitely helped having a having a free short of I mean Skype at the downside. You have to share your accounts and all that right really want to know people and if this court you can just it doesn't matter all the strangers. It's all right, you can sort of yeah you to easily get get your privacy if you want to mmm. But I think we're going to go ahead and end it there bank. If you want to go ahead and start sending this out. All right.
