I can't play Minecraft at work, so I play Minecraft at work.

The issue of going to someone else's portal may not exactly be a glitch, but a result of the tricky math between Overworld and Nether portal coordinates.

http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Nether_portal#Portal_linkage_between_Overworld_and_Nether

Thus, for a given location (X, Y, Z) in the Overworld, the corresponding coordinates in the Nether are (floor(X ÷ 8), Y, floor(Z ÷ 8)) (the Java floor() method gives the largest integer less than or equal to the argument, so an X- or Z-coordinate of -29.5 becomes -30, not -29). Conversely, for a location (X, Y, Z) in the Nether, the matching Overworld coordinates are (floor(X × 8), Y, floor(Z × 8)).
...
First, if the portal block in which the player is standing has been used recently, then it will re-use the destination that was chosen the last time; in this sense, portals do "remember" their linked pairs, but only for about 60 seconds (1200 game world ticks, or 600 redstone ticks)
...
If the player's origin portal has not been used recently, then a new destination will be computed. First, the game converts the entry coordinates into destination coordinates as above: The entry X- and Z-coordinates are multiplied or divided by 8 (or 3) depending on direction of travel, while the Y-coordinate is not changed.

Starting at these destination coordinates, the game looks for the closest active portal...

--and so on.

At any rate, I think I read in chat once that an admin can "fix" a portal's location. If you catch one in-game, it might be worth asking if that's possible.

May I please be whitelisted there? I'm interested in seeing how quickly the Wastelands triumph over me.

Thanks!

The button to stop the rain at /warp sun didn't work when I tried pressing it.

Famcraft Classic has been rebranded as Gloomy Famcraft.

/home doesn't seem to work the same in Classic as it does in Main.

In Classic, typing "/home" or "/home (wrongHomeName)" seems to send me to my most recently set home, instead of giving me a list of my actual homes, as in Main.

Is this where you're collecting notes on Famcraft Classic (minor) issues? It doesn't seem worth bothering anyone in-game.

• The buttons at /warp jobs tell me I'm can't use them. (/join _____ still works)
• /kit allowance has a different (old?) name: /kit warpmoney
• "Famcraft Info and Announcements" at Main spawn village entrance still refer to 1.8 and 1.7.

I'm asking for a little clarification on what's allowed to be posted here.

I'm always interested in seeing what other players are able to build on Famcraft's Survival server, but I'm also interested in what people can do in Creative mode. Are Creative screenshots allowed here (besides the occasional temp Famcraft creative environments)?

I ask because I realize that if these screenshots didn't come from a player's Single Player adventures, they would have to be from some other creative server, and the "other server" is where the waters would get murky. Also, it might not be easy to tell one from the other.

It seems to me that the obvious "no talk of other servers" rule would still cover someone mentioning the location in the forum post itself or by sneaking the location into the screenshot. But then I also get that might be more difficult to police in such posts, so a blanket "no screenshots that don't originate from Famcraft" rule might be simpler.


So I'm not advocating one way or the other; just asking if this has already been asked and answered elsewhere before. Thanks!
