PMC aka Planet Minecraft

Yeah... but it isn't really ChaoticUnited is it? This way, people can collate their PMC links for people to view, or just put links on here. They can even do both if they want. It's just a way of collecting many different world downloads together into one place.

Try to edit next time. There is a section on the forums to share downloads.

I deliberately didn't do it as an edit because I wanted people to see the download as being separate from the part which lays out my ideas.
I looked in the downloads section, it's more of a warez section than a share your minecraft world / creation section.

Yep theres also a site called PMC

I googled PMC and got speaker companies and libraries. Not sure what you're talking about.

My first world download for this topic. I started this in 1.1 or 1.2 and since then have made some serious progress. There's some complex redstone and some sneaky secrets, as well as an excess of ocelots in the farm. Give me some feedback on the world if you want, and I'll update the save file as needs be. Enjoy.

FALK0N77 World Download 1 

A while back someone asked me for a copy of my single player world as they thought it looked quite interested. Today, I was looking through my public Dropbox files and saw the world I shared. That made me think that maybe we should have a section where people can share and update their single player worlds for other people. You could use any file host you want (so long as it's free - JumboFiles or MediaFire are good) and can update your world download as often or as little as you like.

The only real requirements are that you give a short explanation of the world (e.g. I started this in version 1.2.5 and It was intended as a let's play. That didn't pan out so I kept it as legit as possible, even though I used TMI and Zombe for some of it.) Also, make sure to follow the topic so you can keep up with world updates and remind yourself to upload new versions.

Please make sure you compress the save files as a standard .zip so anyone can un-zip and use it, and try to refrain from using passwords on your files. If you do, please include them in the description of the file.

You can leave signs and other such like throughout your world if you wish, and you can PM the uploader with an updated version if you want them to look at something you did / made in their world. If you do, try and give them as much detail as possible about what you did, how etc so they can tell other people if they decide to share your link. Don't upload other people's worlds without their permission as this could cause all sorts to problems for everyone.

That's about it for now, if I need to add anything I'll edit this post. I'll add my latest world dowload for you guys now and hopefully you'll give me some good feedback on this idea.

This World Looks nice would it be possible if i could have the download so i can check it out

 

and josh nice work 

Here's a .zip file of my world (it was intended as a Let's Play World but my laptop can't handle FRAPS and MC)

https://dl.dropbox.c..._01.08.2012.zip

Well so far I've found that Zombie Pigmen can spawn in the overworld (I was running my 1.2.5 world in 1.3.1 when I captured this)

8GB of DDR3 RAM should be enough for most games. If you're thinking of recording as well, consider  a dual or possibly even a triple HDD setup (but only if you want it). At least 500GB for the HDD I would say, so you don't run out of space too quickly. i5's are more specialised for gaming than i7's, but then the different architecture of more AMD CPUs means that you get slightly more power upfront for the sacrifice of more dynamic multitasking on the hyper-threaded Intel CPUs. AMD or nVidia GPUs are good, just depends on what you find. A card with at least 1GB of dedicated RAM should already have more than enough clock speed for most games so shouldn't be a problem. You can also get some pre-packaged GPU's from companies such as ASUS who have basically taken tha card from AMD or nVidia and stuck some fans and a fancy case on it before bumping up the price a little bit. For novice builders this is easier as it reduces the amount of wiring required but can limit your access to the PCI ports. You should get a PSU that exceeds your power requirements by 100W or so, leaving you with the ability to upgrade some of your parts without need a new PSU every time as well.

That pretty much sums up my knowledge of computer building. One last piece of advice though is to check (if you can) how compatible your choice of components are with each other to reduce the amount of driver re-coding you may need to do for your system to run properly. If something I have said is glaringly wrong (such as quoting computer specs etc) then please rectify me, otherwise know that this is just my knowledge and that you can pay as much or as little attention to it as you want, given it is your computer you are building, not mine.

My absolute favourite mod by far has to be Optifine, as it gives so much more control (and therefore FPS) to me when playing Minecraft. TMI is good when Modloader is installed as you can give yourself infinite stacks of items without the issue of instantly getting a full stack if you pick up a block like when using the maxstack command on SPC. Zombe is also very useful as it gives you hotkeys to most of the aspect of SPC and TMI, albeit with different usages etc (no console, key combos etc).

To summarise:

Optifine: Mod that adds many options to game setting, effectively giving the player the ability to double or sometimes even triple their FPS through game optimisation (I get about 2 - 2.5 times FPS increase on Single Player, About 1.5 times on multiplayer)
TMI (aka TooManyItems): Inventory Editor with time control, gamemode switching, difficulty switcher, and item spawning UI
SPC (aka SinglePlayerCommands): World Edit control plus many other commands to make construction etc MUCH easier for large projects. Only problem is, the atlantis command, which I gather to be useful for trying to make underwater bases, has been disabled)
Zombe's ModPack: A compilation of mods to enhance both the game and building power of the user. Compatible with most Bukkit servers (if set up so) it not only saves time but also your brain, as you only need to learn your keyboard rather than complex command strings.

That's about it from me now. Enjoy modding!

PS: I use Modloader simply to help ensure all mods run as I want them to. All it really does is stop mod conflicts etc. A variation of it is included in Optifine.
PPS: I also use mcpatcher to install my mods, as it sorts everything out in one go and lets me order said mods into and heirarchy I want, thereby letting me choose which mods should replace aspects of other mods (i.e. modloader with Optifine etc)

OK, I'm definitely finished now. *takes a huge breath and collapses from asphyxiation*

I...cant...fu*king..BELIEVE!!

I can. Given I realised I've been lied to for something rather major in my life for over 10 years of my life, I can entirely believe and almost expect people to be money sucking scumbags, especially during these economic times.

Fellow veterans of ChaoticUnited,

It is with deep regret that I must finally come to the painful announcement of what is happening with Minecraft. For those of you who are not aware of the situation yet: the hosting company that we were with went rogue, and continued taking payments but did not renew the contract. This meant that without prior notice we had our dedicated server terminated and lost all data on it. Luckily for World of Warcraft and Runescape, there were valid backups to be restored from. Unluckily for Minecraft, the only recent backup that was feasible to use failed to restore from due to data corruption from the transfer process.

This means that we have been forced to start fresh in 1.2.5. We recovered what data we could, such as authentication details, encrypted personal information and McMMO data. These have been restored and you will find that they continue to function as they previously did before the downtime.

However, we lost too much data to restore the map feasible. This means that the map has been reset and the economy has been reset.

Do not despair for we have learnt from this experience and are prepared to battle the forces of the unknown with the power of contingency planning! We have implemented several new plugins, and have written many more changes to the software so that this will not happen again. Furthermore we have implemented new functionality that will improve your gameplay experience.

Everyone is entitled to 1 free zone protection (aprox. 40x40 blocks maximum). This means that you will have a zone that cannot be touched by anyone other than yourself. Furthermore we have implemented many anti-griefing tools and anti-exploit automated features that will heighten the enjoyment that players will have competing within this entrepreneurial server.

When you now do the "/done" command, you will be teleported to a random point within the entire map. This will also be automatically done when you die. This will allow you to explore the server and quickly travel to unpopulated areas so that you can build in the protection of your solitude. We are now also allowing two accounts per IP so that friends and family can play together on our wonderful server (this does not allow two accounts per 1 person).

And thus we bring you, the regenerated and better than ever, ChaoticUnited Minecraft server.

Thank you for being a part of this network,
~The ChaoticUnited Staff

Looks like the team has taken a big one on the chin, come out smiling and offered the perpetrator  a haughty grin. Good job chaps! Next time, make sure you can give them an even bigger punch for all us members yeah?

Long live Chaotic!

it was my firewall, it didnt allow minecraft to connect to my internet, and i fixed it

Stupid firewalls. That is why I always leave mine alone until it needs to be re-configured, and then disable it to download a completely different one.

thx falkon

You're welcome. On a side note, what did you need to do to fix it (if you have done so)?

Just now, haloman30 said:

FALKON77 you should be a helper! You're helping everyone out and you solved one of my problems so thanks.

What was your problem?

Just now, haloman30 said:

can omeone put a link to the website i update to please

You should just be able to update from your launcher. With the default launcher it is in options>force update if you don't get the option to update after logging in. On the cracked client you "don't" check the box that says force update because you paid for minecraft and have no need for a cracked client.

Just now, haloman30 said:

somehow, since the update my minecraft wont work..

Did you try to install any mods after updating? Did that succeed? Did you use any mods that add aspects into the game (e.g. mo' creatures) and has it been updated / installed (correctly)? If that doesn't work, try a force update (see above) and then run without any mods. If that works, install each mod you use 1 at a time, checking after each install, until you find one that causes a crash. If that still doesn't work, go on GetSatisfaction and search for Solutions to Common Minecraft Problems. Myself and others can provide help if you do a dump of the error log that should be generated. Tutorials should be present there as to how to find said error log. Hope that helped.

helllo my username for minecraft is killadudechad plz make me a member.and i swear i will not greif i will not spam etc

By posting in this topic (an incorrect place for this kind of request) you ARE spamming, given posting in the wrong topic asking for promotion to member is against the forum rules.
