Amnesia takes too long to get to any good parts, battlefield three would be lame, minecraft sounds about right

It's balanced because ender chests were way op before. They made it so with just 1 of them you could double your inventory space and never lose you valuable stuff. Now players are encoruaged to use the chests in the way they were always intended. And what's the problem? Now maybe you'll have to think about where you're going to put the chest rather than just randomly dumping it somewhere. And it's supposed to be a difficult to obtain, late-game item; if you're strong enough to obtain the materials required for the chest then you should have enough xp levels to get a silk touch pick, especially under the new enchantment revisions that make it far easier to get top level enchantments. Seems to me you're just moaning because this adds a bit of thought and challenge to the gameplay and you can't handle that.
It was my understanding that breaking the only ender chest would also destroy any items left in it. I must have been misread. I see the potential issue. -

How? The ender eyes are already difficult to obtain, and you need at least 2 of them in order to make the chest useful. Now we lose the the eye all together when we break it. And not everyone has mob grinders.
Forcing players to use enchantments is NOT good gameplay. -

Probably to prevent people from making the Ender Chest too easily every single time, considering how they keep items safe from anything. They are more of an emergency storage rather than place all your items in it and drag them anywhere you want and remove the need for a home base.
The chest has a very limited number of slots, so packing around a whole base is hardly an issue. Having the materials for crafting the minimum requires 2 chests to make use of the feature is already a difficult task, and having the chests break into items rather then the chest itself is a huge blow to the whole mechanic.
People will always abuse things, so its stupid to castrate those that don't just because some people do.

Am I the only one who doesn't download the snapshots? I'm waiting for the official 1.3 to come out =) ... Gratification delay ftw. I'm going to have so much fun with all the new stuff in my world.
Snapshots are for testing. So if you have no desire to test, then they are not for you. simple as that. -

echonite posted a message on Snapshot 12w24a Available for Testing!I like that ender chests are now per player, but why do they break into 8 obsidian? We lose an eye AND have to recraft it. Its already very difficult to make 2 of them to be able to take advantage of them.Posted in: News

What is with this nonsense?
Minecraft is property of Mojang, which Microsoft bought, so by default, Microsoft now owns the Minecraft IP. Mojang itself is worthless, so paying out 2.5Billion for a worthless company is stupid. All the money is in the Minecraft brand, which is what Microsoft really bought, otherwise the people at Mojang could just quit and take Minecraft with them, but that's not how this works.
Also, Notch did NOT get the full 2.5Billion. That money was divided among the owners of Mojang at the time. Notch just got the most of it at roughly half.
Anyone who thinks him the greatest developer is... ignorant. He had the right idea at the right time when the market wanted it the most. Must like why WoW is considered one of the greatest MMOs despite it being far from the first of its kind. It just hit the market at the right time.

Since when does personal judgement need to be fair? Its my judgement, I don't need to explain it to you.
You are the one dredging up something that has been dead for over a year. Hop off your mighty high-horse and let dead things remain dead, least you become a necromancer.

Given the lack of knowledge regarding networking and computer safety most people have around here, Its better to air on the side of caution with things like this. Yeah, telling someone they should turn off their firewall isn't the end of the world, but its best practice to never use that as a solution. If even one person gets attacked because their firewall was off because some unknown person on a forum said to do so, then it is bad advice.
Anyone who works in IT will agree, most people are... not smart with computers. And this forum is filled with "overnight networkers" who know enough to be dangerous. I don't mess around when it comes to computers and being safe.

As an American citizen, yes, I do have the right to judge people however I wish to judge them. However, you are over a year late to the party. Mr IStealyourRAM has corrected his mistakes and improved his grammatical composition.
So, if you wish to talk about manners, let's talk about your beating of a dead horse long after it's decomposed.

Yes, because you've literally removed the wall between you and the internet, which is a completely stupid thing to do. You should only ever do it for testing ONLY.
And its ironic that you say to port forward first, because port forwarding is what grants access through your firewall, so that whole step is pointless if you are just going to turn the damn thing off.
You are an over-night networker. You don't really understand what you are saying, and that makes you very dangerous to people. Please don't instruct people to turn off their firewall ever again. You put their network security at risk, and people's personal information become exposed.

DNS - Domain Name System. In short, its what converts a website address into an IP address for communication over the internet. IE: www.google.com converts into an IP address between 74.125.1.1 and 74.125.255.255
DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a service rin on your router (in most cases) and deals with assigning IP addresses to deviced on your home network so they can communicate.
TCP - Transmission Control Protocol. A method of network communication. Its basically like sending a letter and getting a message that the letter was delivered.
UDP - User Datagram Protocol. AKA Unreliable Datagram Protocol. As noted above, UDP is a method of network communication, but it does not sent back messages of delivery. It has low overhead making it ideal for things like stremaing video quickly.
If this sounds like gibberish to you, then running a server is not for you. Get a server host instead.

No it doesn't. Using a VPN service like Hamachi (Or Evolve, which is better) is arguably safer than port forwarding. It is just not "better" because port forwarding doesn't have any software overhead and is more scalable for larger applications (Beyond something trivial like a minecraft server)

No no no no no no. Please never ever ever give advice like this ever again. You are just setting people up for attacks.

That is a crappy proxy service. Incomming connections are at the mercy of who/whatever/wherever the proxy server is. I STRONGLY advise against it.

Is the server running when you test? It won't show as open unless something is actively using the port.

Your internet bandwidth is not really the issue here. The more pressing issue is just physical distance.

It's called branch mining, and its been discussed to death since pre-alpha. There are tons of samples if you google it.

Incorrect. Please read about intellectual property to avoid giving misinformation.
Resource packs, while intended for Minecraft, have nothing tied to minecraft. Somone could make a game that uses the exact same structure as Minecraft assets, thus making a resource pack cross-compatible. Plus, EULA claims of ownership of content such as resource packs would not likely stand up in court, albeit no one has ever tested it.
Filing for a copyright mostly just increases your legal protection and gives you a stronger claim to that copyright vs a basic intellectual property claim. IE: Hypothetically, if 2 people come up with the same thing, but only one gets an official copyright to it, they would win out in court if it was ever contested regardless of whoever "Thought of it first".
Technically speaking, even fan art is illegal, but almost no company would be stupid enough to go after their customers for it. That would hurt their public image, or they would have nothing to gain from doing so.

Intellectual property rights.
@OP:
You have zero legal grounds to do anything with his pack outside of use it in the game. Many would say "as long as you give credit", but that is still illegal.
The likelyhood of him returning and pressing legal action against you is slim to none, however the principal remains, it would be completely illegal for you to continue and distribute his pack in any form, and just overall a crappy move on your part to even try.
You CAN make new textures (all made 100% by you, no using his as base textures) and suggest people download his pack and set it to load before yours so that your textures over-wright his, but that is it.
Rule of thumb: Unless permission is explicitly granted, you do NOT have permission. Never assume permission. "Giving credit" does NOT make it ok.

Im assuming the computer is dedicated.
Check background processes. The CPU is meh, so it could be getting bogged down by random crap.
