Server issues

And there I was, wondering if my internet is giving me issues again. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! *sobs* j/k

But seriously, I've been experiencing some issues lately. I'll use this post as bug report or something.

I've noticed that, for unknown reasons, signs sometimes don't show an item count. Like I craft 3 signs (it shows a 3), place them, break them later - and I only have 1 sign in my inventory (shows no number), yet I can place 3. That might be a client-side problem though.

Additionally, I had a similar but worse problem with LV-Transformers: sometimes if I break one it just disappears. Doesn't even take up an inventory slot or anything. (Tested by filling inventory up with cobble.) But when I craft a new trafo, the old one reappears and I have two. Very strange - usually an item would just go invisible in inventory, but if you click on empty slots or move items around it will reappear.

Last but not least, I heard the new launcher should make incremental updates, meaning that only edited files are downloaded... but when I updated yesterday it re-downloaded everything, including minecraft.jar, native files and all mods. Just like the old launcher did. Maybe a Linux problem?

 

I can address some of the issues.

1. This is a tweak sk has done. You now only need 1 sign and that sign will be infinite, but you cannot have more then 1 sign in your inventory at a time.
2. This is normally caused due to your own internet and inventory de-sync. Normally if you open the GUI of a tile-entity it should show up in your inventory again.
3. There is no reason you could've downloaded everything again, unless you forced a client update by accident. But there are some times that it seems like you're downloading everything (It even says downloading 144 items) in reality you're not.

 

1. Didn't know that - and it also seems to be bugging a little because when I tried it the signs I placed disappeared from my inventory, which indicates a finite number. But then again, it's probably inventory desync.
2. Guess I'll have to live with it then, I won't get better internet in foreseeable future
3. I just started the update, saw "144 items" and then I thought "well shit" and made me a sammich so I don't know how long the update took. Still, it'd be better if it would show a correct number.

 

When my client tries to reach the server I get a communication error.

 

It happens when i open my inventory http://pastebin.com/LeqC7hXj

 

apparently the server is up but I cant connect because it shows the server is down. my internet is fine but its still weird

 

(Probably) most important part of this:

I can't do anything about that though, maybe a modpack team member wants to look at it?

 

HAHA

 

I am learning to code so I won't be on as much. When I learn to code in java I (might) be able to make a mod to fix inventory desync. If not I might just recode minecraft from scratch to see if I can fix it. Either way
I might make myself my own version of mine craft.

 

lol, recode Minecraft? See you in two years then.

 

You have a better chance getting a masters degree in ART; Let alone re-coding minecraft yourself with no experience.

 

I would be surprised if he got LWGJL to render and Perlin or Fractal generation running.

Minecraft is in itself a huge hack. The biggest feature in Minecraft isn't even model-based.

 

Exactly, he probably doesn't even have 1/100 of the skills required for anything =p
