Creepy sperglord children are the reason we can't have anything nice. Nothing can describe my hatred for this person. Notch's lost foster daughter is the embodiment of the reason this world sucks and living on it is killing me slower than old age.

I don't know if this is appropriate for this thread or not but I'm going to ask anyway:
I'm looking to buy a mini-pc, and since the only thing I really do with my desktop nowadays is play minecraft I wanted to get one that ran the game better than my current lovely computer. The one I'm looking at (the dell zino 410) has an AMD Phenom II X4 P960 Quad Core Processor 1.8GHz, 6 gigs of ram, and an AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5450 MXM Discrete Graphics Card.
I am pretty stupid with computers so please forgive me if these are not the stats that would actually be usefull. Will this setup run Minecraft well?

The last time I constructed a rail station, it had 16 destinations. Each destination had a booster big enough for the return. I'm probably going to start a new server with friends a little after 1.8 launches and realizing that unless every track is two lane there's no point to a large powered rail section at the station since there has to be enough boost for the return trip on every track anyway. Though I'm trying out a 2 lane design that shares powered rail sections.

Sharing sections? Wouldn't you be concerned about collisions about sections in use by both directions of travel at the same time? Either way, yes, cartboosted rail may have been easier to manage construction-wise, but powered rail is simple enough that you just add some on and it works.

My latest railwork is for a somewhat smaller server than usual (most of the guys on it have dropped out for League of Legends or Terraria), so this time I decided to mix it up a bit and just make a two-lane loop around between our various home bases, one clockwise, the other counterclockwise. You get where you're going quickly enough, even stopping at each station and pushing the continue button, barring one segment that has to cross under the bay because one guy had to build on an island in his own neighborhood. You may want to consider something like that for local travel.

I need help!

The other night my game crashed as it normally does. However, this time I was testing out my rail system and inside a cart, travelling along. When I logged back on, there were 6 new minecarts on the track. I could destroy all of them, and then they'd show up in my inventory like I'd created them.

I thought, "hey, okay, free minecarts!"...but then as I traveled along my track, I noticed a few I had destroyed, but I can't pick them up. They just sit there hovering, and I can't go past them in the cart.



The hell happened?

*edit* It crashed again, I came back, the stuck minecart icon is gone, but there were NINE new minecarts on the track.

Powered rails do not give much of an extra boost with long sections. Placing one every 20 or so rails gives the best constant speed. So yes, there is no benefit to long chains of boosters.

You can maintain 8 meters per second with spacing of 50. I've done this for kilometers on the knifeback mountain server with no problems at all. Generally I start off with a double booster to get up to full speed immediately.

Throw an SSD in that and you should be fine. The Phenom there is a bit slowish but should be plenty for minecraft.

Last I heard we were still on the "week after PAX" schedule.

And they did show off stuff at Gamescom - but it was the Portable edition, not 1.8.

Mojang didn't have any of their staff at Gamescom even - they sent Xephos and Honeydew amongst others to work the Sony-Ericsson booth for Minecraft's release.
