Spawn issue and other things of note

[Sigurther]

Walking to within 50 blocks of spawn, dying and reloading in spawn or doing /spawn immediately results in minecraft crashing. Only way out is to quickly back out if you walked in, or do /home the second you log in, hoping you beat whatever crashes it. It isn't just a sometimes crash anymore, it is consistant and unending now.

Mob loading seems to be on overdrive. I'm seeing 20-40 mobs within vewing range loading in any given area. Walking around at night has become a death warrant, and they seemingly load right on top of you as you sit there. Maybe I just had a bad run in a few areas, but trying to walk to spawn was a nightmare.

Riding boats is a gamble at best. Not sure if it's some sort of wierd latency issue I have noticed little pockets of lag here and there, but boats just suddenly teleport you 20 blocks away and crash into the nearest land, or float off and become unusable unless you log out and back in.

There may be one more, but I'm still testing it.

Odd, I'm not getting any of those issues. But regardless I'll look around in the area and check the console to see if anything may indicate. Are you fully updated, the server is fully updated.

[Guest]

I am also getting all of those issues, exactly as described.

[Guest]

This is very odd, you two seem to be the only ones

[Guest]

Actually, as I was on last night I checked and while I am definitely getting the spawn issue, I'm not seeing an overload of mobs and the boat issue has happened to me forever but only maybe 10% of the time I am riding in a boat.

[Guest]

Boats are just generally awful.

[Guest]

when online i try but seems to crash now.

[Guest]

Still happening for me. I can't go anywheres near spawn. Pib, were you getting that glitch back when we had mcmmo where your score would just reset to zero at random?

Addendum: Seems to be happening in random places. I was taking the railway from Rhaetia to the Hobbit Hole (north of the sheep) and around -2446, 7, -24 i hit a spot that kept crashing me until i minecarted away from it. I feel like it is the spawn mobs that are crashing me, because whenever i come in load range of them, I crash. Or something in the general vicinity of them. I am able to linger around the arena in spawn, but no closer to actual spawn.

The last straw was crashing out spawn multiple times, somehow being killed while OFFLINE and the random death loot drop mod negating my highly enchanted pickaxe and shovel from existence. I went back there and was able to navigate the hotspot long enough to pick the experience i lost back up, but the items were gone. Wether it's me or this server, I'm taking an extended hiatus since with it this unstable, I can't play.

A side note: the death loot drop mod seems to be awarding random bursts of experience. Twice I have respawned with like 40 exp levels when i had significantly less. Other times lower numbers, but still more than what I had.

Hmm disconcerting. Well I cant find a reason for it Sig. What I can do is delete your player file as that fixes it for some people according to the inter-webs. You'll lose the inventory you have on you at the current moment. But permissions and such are unaffected, same with houses and what have you.

[Guest]

okay, go for it, delete my player file. i emptied my inventory, and sometime in the next few days before i log in next, I'll update flash and delete all files on my end, just to make sure.

[Guest]

one issue for me is my anvil's i put in a set of 30 diamonds and yet i only got back 1 without enchanting anything. i thought of looking around the anvils but no, i lost my diamonds to a glitch. help?

[Guest]

I can't find your player data sig. Mojang moved all the player data into these cryptic .dat files with seemingly random names.

[Guest]

Sig you should also remove things from your ender chest or they will be gone also when your player profile is deleted.

I also have noticed the gaining massive xp upon death glitch and I have died and lost all my items for some reason rather than just the 25%.

[Guest]

Oh lol whoops good thing he didnt delete my playerfile then. All my most expensive stuff is in my ender chest. No worries, I already lost my nearly 7 year old singleplayer world when I deleted my .minecraft folder. I'm pretty sure that this is a hint that I should quit.

[Guest]

I would love to see your single player world.  I never had any of them get that awesome.

edit: in fact I just went and checked, the oldest one I have is only from 2011.  I think I lost my first single player ones with some updates or something, not sure.  The ones since were just made to check out each recent major update in the last few years... there's only one SP map that has significant building on it which I remember.  Wish I knew what happened to the ones I had when I first started playing minecraft before I got on the MP servers.Possibly they are on my old computer.

[Guest]

So I went on my old computer to try and find some old saves, couldn't find anything really but I did find a world save of the first Wolf Den MP map that I played on.  Actually made me very reminiscent of the good times we had back then and all the guys who played on the server.  Pretty sad to see that no one plays anymore, but hopefully we can get more action when summer comes around.  Maybe we should try and schedule an event or something so we can get people on.

[Guest]

I was able to fix it. Uninstalled Java completely and deleted the .minecraft folder. Reinstalled both. Seems to work ok now. No spawn crashes after 7 tries. Loved that Rapture underwater city! If I recall, it was near Unnamia.

[Guest]

Yes, it was right outside of the city wall underwater, by Gerbi's bioshock tower.  I think I might rebuild Unnamia in the current server since I really loved that place and I have nothing better to do.

I may also try your fix although it seems like a ton of work.  I'm normally ok just avoiding spawn.

[Guest]

it isnt really. if you use windows, just uninstall java, delete the .minecraft folder, quick reboot to ensure all files cleared, then run minecraft. It will prompt you to reinstall java, then reload itself. Prolly took me all of five minutes.
