If you are running the Minecraft server on a multi-processor or multi-core system, there are some things you can do with Java's garbage collector settings to help speed things up (perhaps significantly in some cases). For example, lag spikes that were occurring on my server disappeared after I made these adjustments. ricin in particular gave me a heads up about trying a different GC. Without getting into technical details, you can use the following two flags that should increase your server's performance: - XX :+ UseConcMarkSweepGC - XX :+ UseParNewGC

Minecraft FACTS: Big list of what Notch has ACTUALLY said. - Minecraft Forums

LAST UPDATE: DECEMBER 02 2010 @ 05:25 UTC (update summary: catching up with a bunch of Twitter stuff and the blog posts) "If something ever doesn't feel fun, I'll remove it. I believe that I can combine enough fun, accessibility and building blocks for this game to be a huge melting pot of emergent gameplay." - Notch All right people, here's the deal. There's a big problem going on right now in the community where certain "facts" about what Notch has said are passed around without regard for truthfulness. These claims are never sourced, we never get a link to a podcast\interview or twitter\blog post to confirm them.

Staple structures every survival map should have - Minecraft Forums

Recently, I've been thinking about what features should be in the perfect infdev base. Obviously things like a Storehouse and a Workshop are a necessity for any base, but what about a more complex stronghold? Simple Structures House A simple structure just intended to supply a safe place to spend the night, away from the mobs outside. Workshop A workshop is where at least one permanent crafting table and furnace should be stationed (more if a certain aesthetic effect is desired). All tools will be crafted here, and all ores will be smelted here, so it should located somewhere that is easy to access in your settlement.

The Word of Notch

http://notch.tumblr.com/ Let’s say you’re Neo, and you were the first person ever to come up with the idea of a novel. It’s like a short story, but longer, and you’re really proud of it. Trinity then runs up to you and takes one of the few printed copies of your novel. You don’t want her to do that, as you paid good money to have it printed, and was hoping to get that money back, so you taze her. Trinity tried to commit theft . She sulks for a bit, then asks if she can borrow one copy to read it.
