SMP health coming early next week!

[Nemo]

The few hours I’ve been able to work today, I tried getting SMP Health as complete as possible. It will be released early next week.
Here’s the status:
* Send attack network data: DONE
* Add the ability to attack other entities: DONE
* Implement falling damage: NOT STARTED
* Implement respawning for dead players: PARTIALLY DONE (there are bugs with the player keeping the current location in some circumstances instead )
* Make eating food regenerate health: DONE
* Send health updates to the players: DONE
The “attack entities” code is done on a general level, so you can hurt animals, monsters, boats, carts and even other players.
There are a couple of other tweaks in the next update as well:
* Fix leaves. Again: DONE
* Optimize the lighting update slowdowns: STARTED
* Make players riding carts or boats a long way receive terrain updates: DONE
* Fix the block re-spawning bug: NOT STARTED
* Add “pvp” toggle flag to the server settings: NOT STARTED.


I am most joyed.

I hope all the minecraft servers start doing survival instead of creative when some of this stuff is done, mainly when enemies get done

Does anyone wanna do a little Minecraft co-op when this happens? Thats the main game mode I expect to see. Co-op with heaps of mobs etc.

I hope some wait until Notch adds CMP, sometimes it's nice to just be able to build.

I want to see some tower defence, or Sheepies v Zombies. Especially a Zombie hoard mode, perhaps like you start with an indestructible Pick, Shovel, Axe and Sword (But with Iron/Stone dig speed depending on difficulty) and you have fixe minutes to build defences except Zombies can destroy blocks (Or every other Zombie is holding a tnt block which can break blocks to a smaller than creeper radius with no Player aggro). You'd also get arrows for killing Zombies (Perhaps dropped?)

Zombie mode with the Notch mob skin edit

Sounds a lot like Nazi Zombies Chippie. But seriously, I'm really looking forward to 1-3 player co-op, it's going to be lovely.
