When blowing up >9000 TNT, it crashes every client looking at the explosion, of course, but the server have to generate the big hole resulting from the explosion, which could crash the server when having low RAM.

My server have 1.25 GB RAM, with about 98% of it dedicated to Minecraft, which is pretty much the only thing running on it, so it runs kinda well on my machine without problems, resisted to lots of explosions and whatsnot.

Also feel free to ask me what's my IP in PM or on IRC. ^_^

so that's why I found a huge hole in it when I was looking for wood... and a non-detonated TNT block

oops

Yeah I had this happen sometimes. If I move forward I fall in the pit forever until I reconnect.

What's SMP?

What's SMP?

"Survival Multi Player"

For some reason, the main Minecraft game mode (i.e. the only one playable in Beta) is called "Survival": probably to distinguish it from the "Creative" mode found in Classic (where you cannot die). Hence, SSP is Survival Single Player and SMP is Survival Multi Player.

In addition to Creative, another game mode ("Adventure") is rumored.

Dont forget doors and levers mode!!!

Edit: think redstone on steroids

I have been playing minecraft for some time now, and I already have a host of fun things i have wrought

1) Automatic double doors that lead into my main base.  They open when you get near and stay open until you go through!  And there is also a switch which locks them closed so that mobs can't get in.

2) A giant cavern where I have mobs spawning.  I placed a trap in there that harvests them and then sends their loot into my base.  An alarm alerts me if there is any loot to be collected, as well as a flashing light to alert me.  

3) An automatic railway station that can take me too and from my two bases.  It always has a cart at both stations, so you can leave base 1 on foot, go to base 2, take the cart all the way to base 1, and repeat the processes forever It also automatically detects when you get into the cart, and sends you on your way.  When you arrive, it waits for you to get out of your cart and then takes the cart and brings it to the departing area of the station.

4) Large treehouse I built using saplings and bone meal, its really huge and can be seen for a long ways around!  Its a great way to find my way back to my base if I ever get lost :]

5) A walled courtyard where I can be outside during the night without fear of monsters spawning or getting in.  It contains my farm, which is on the edge of an ocean for irrigation, and trees for wood harvesting.

6) A skylight in my underground base so I can tell what time it is without going up (kind of rendered useless now that I crafted myself a watch )

Redstone is my friend

Now i just need to do this:
