Eagleworld.net Minecraft Blog More Minecraft than ever before!

kMod Updated to v0.9.1 and Minecraft.net issues

Hey everyone!

Well, kMod was updated again today to resolve an issue with the Stargate plugin. While Eagleworld does not use this plugin, the fix could also fix other issues in the process. Therefore, I have updated to the latest version. I still need people to help me test what is in fact working and what is not. Note that the stuff that was previously working must be tested as well, as we could have come across regressions during the updating process.

One other important note is that minecraft.net is currently down due to web server migration. You can get the latest update on Notch's tumblr (located here). Since Eagleworld checks to see if you have a registered account before you can join (to protect against others using your username), you will not be able to connect until this is resolved.

I recommend checking Notch's blog occasionally and also using the Down or Not website to check (go here to see if minecraft.net is actually down for everyone still. Also, if you are able to connect to the webpage, you will be able to connect to the server in-game.

Again, if I can get help seeing what bugs we are still experiencing, I can do my best to help alleviate them. The list of bugs we need to check are below. Thanks again!

Bugs that were fixed in 0.8.5 but need regression testing:

1. Opening chests with items in hand now works as it should.
2. The duplication bugs have been resolved.
3. Placing blocks on yourself no longer occurs.
4. Buckets work properly now.
5. All food works as it should.
6. Eggs and snowballs can now be thrown again.
7. Ladders can now be placed properly.
8. All new blocks are now able to be placed.
9. Regular torches can now be placed with no orientation issues.
10. Animals are spawning normally.
11. You can now use dye on blocks and place it properly.
12. You can use dye on sheep properly.
13. Redstone is strange when the server first starts up but will return to normal working state after the server is running for a few minutes. Levers also work strange initially but work after the same amount of time.
14. HUD experience no delays or slowdowns since the latest update.
15. Boats can now be properly placed, as well as ridden.
16. Torches now properly get placed on snow.

Bugs I have not confirmed either way:

1. If you lay a birch tree, the white trees, they'll come out as normal brown trees.
2. Any other block placed on snow floats.. (Guessing this happens with steps too and floor plates.}
3. Using a bow with arrow in your inventory makes the shooting sound and decreases the number of arrows you have, but the arrows are not shot, or if they are, they are invisible, do no damage, and cannot be picked up.
4. iStick is currently not working.
5. GriefAlert is not working 100% reporting should now be resolved as of 0.9).
6. The HUD doesn't have the extra effect from the patch update where the items grow larger then shrink back to normal size to indicate you picked something up.
7. Stairs still have the orientation bug where they will only face North.
8. Need to test whether redstone torches can be placed without the orientation bug.
9. Need to test LWC.

Bugs that are known to be unfixed:

1. None yet...need to test!
