Org Minecraft Server

Hi all,

First off, I am a deep and fervent admirer of the amazing train system here and all the time everyone has put into making it. It's easy to use and moves me around easily. And I love the Underground-style map.

That said, by its nature, the trains are limited to delivery to specific locations (or hop out at a random location and hope you don't hit the ground too hard!)

What I'd like to do is build small harbors within a half-day's journey of each other, with the first "ring" of them being within a half-day of the harbor that has been planned (around 380,50). These small harbors would not be large -- small docks, a small room for accommodation, and a short but bright lighthouse to mark their location for travellers. This would allow relatively safe, and flexible, boat travel to even the most distant and out-of-the-way islands.

Would this be ok with the community?

Go for it!

Yep, I think that would be a nice addition to our transport system. Rail, Road and Boat. The only thing missing would be aviation. But I guess we have the Nether Travel for that in stead: :clown:


On a different subject.
@Tiaexz, I am currently visiting your Tavern in the snow domain next to Scienters Resort.
Very nice area, but the Tavern itself, while it is a beautiful building, is still unfurnished inside.
Do you mind if I have a go and put in some guest rooms on one of the upper floor?

Sure @Nigel, do as much as you like, you can include windows and such. Unfortunately, I only really got around to doing the outer shell before I ended up moving on a little. I should put on to try to get stuff together for it. There is a little 'bunker' near by (its in that map-part of the screenshot), feel free to use any resources from that you need, also, there might be some rare materials, so if you there isn't anything, feel free to use anything as payment/trade (and feel free to be generous with it, I trust you).

I just lost some amazing tools and a ton of resources because I was greedy.

Down cave exploring below the city… got killed once, but managed to get all my stuff back. Got greedy and tried to fill up to the max (was close already) and got into an altercation with a zombie and he pushed me into a lava pool. Just managed to get out but died from the fire. By the time I got back all that was left was a mostly used gold greaves and a stone sword. :furious3:

I feel your pain. I died due to impatience today -- tried running at night from the lighthouse to the little swamp near the dock area, and died surrounded by mobs. I ran back to get my stuff, and was pincushioned by four or five skeletons, one of them mounted. I went back again and found a zombie wearing all my armor carrying my (diamond and enchanted) sword. Luckily he's a zombie so I outran him but wow, what a night. 32 levels of experience, gone, along with some diamond equipment. Curse you, mobbies!

Awww... just looked at the map. Thanks for the well-wishes everyone. We're doing fine and have adapted well. Oddly, I've actually been able to do a fair amount of gaming, but a lot of it has to be done one-handed so it's mostly been X-Com so far.

Does anyone have any issues with me skipping the 1.6.4 update, at least for now? It's only got a small fix which isn't that big a deal for us, though I think might actually make the Iron Farm work. While that would be nice, MobCatcher and MyWorlds are not compatible with it, which means that access to Mineworld would disappear. If those plugins get updated, I'll happily move to 1.6.4, but for now the small fix in 1.6.4 does not seem like it's worth it to lose those plugins. In addition, 1.7 isn't too far away and we'll likely be upgrading again anyway in a few weeks (and Mineworld will be re-created at that time to get the new blocks/biomes). Speaking of Mineworld, how do people feel about it's size? I generated it with a radius of 2000, by comparison to the main world which has a radius of about 6500. We've got some space limitations so I don't want to make it gigantic, but if people feel like it's too small I could try pushing it up to 3000 when I recreate it for 1.7.

I've got no problems with skipping the update, and the Mineworld size seems fine to me. If it were too large then temples would likely make it a bit too easy to get some rare items, and I don't think we've used anywhere near the amount of dungeons, clay and other non-renewable resources yet.

If the update can fix the Iron Farm, I'll finally crawl out of my depressive hole and start playing again. It's totally up to you guys when you want to implement it.

The 1.7 update has a lot of biome specific items and blocks (I'm really excited for Packed Ice and the Clay biome). Maybe the radius needs to be expanded the next time it's regenerated.

@TinCow,

My only caveat is, that I have read somewhere that you should install 1.6.4 and load up important parts of your world prior to updating to 1.7.
Apparently the 1.7 update will mess up the world otherwise.

Since there are a lot of "important parts" in our world, perhaps there is a possibility to load up all chunks of our world automatically in 1.6.4 before moving to 1.7.

Just saw that on the 1.6.4 notes... it does make me wonder what will happen to "unimportant" parts of a world when the 1.7 update comes. I'm worried that every mining shaft and cave complex (not to mention the little ports I'm adding in as I have time) will need to be visited. I guess we'll see.

Since it hasn't been posted in other forums I'll say it here:
Congratulations on the bouncing baby TinCalf!

Hrmm... that doesnt sound pleasant. I'll update to 1.6.4 later today so that the world gets as much use as possible before 1.7. If the Mineworld stops working then so be it, better that than causing permanent problems with the main world.

Can you move the contents of the chests in the safehouse before the upgrade? I can't remember if I got what I needed from them and I can't play for a couple of days.

I went there and just did it. Placed them in a chest at the Stonemasons Lodge.
Also, @Papewaio, I took your stuff and placed it at the Central Station.

The only thing I could not remove was the anvil. That almost dropped on my feet as I tried to lift it. But it is still there.

Very cool. Thanks! No big loss with the anvil.

Sorry I'm minimizing by Internet usage at home as we are currently limited to a wireless connection.

Moved out of the old house at in laws old place and looking for a new place by end of year.

Ok, server is updated to 1.6.4. MobCatcher updated since my last post and MyWorlds appears to actually work despite not updating, so both of those are working fine now. However, RebalanceVillagers, VillageMarker, and TreeAssist are broken in the new version and are temporarily disabled.

I highly recommend that people visit places where specific mobs spawn prior to 1.7. These include places like villages and nether fortresses. Doing so will load them up in the server and fix whatever the issues are with them from 1.6.2.

Alright... I lost my horse.
I rode it to my small mushroom island, jumped off it and walked to the island.. the mycelium hadn't covered the whole island so I waited it out. After a while I tuned and the horse was gone. I just couldn't find it anywhere.
It is a white horse with diamond Armour and was last seen around my castle.

Anyone experienced the server letting something disappear?

Did you use a rope to attach it to a fence? If not the horse will wander off. Look around for chasms, it might be stuck on a ledge.

Talking of horses: a few days ago I found a horse near the main City area.
It was wandering around riderless and so I thought, yes, I will catch and tame it. But when I mounted it, suspecting to be thrown off a few times, I found out that it had already been tamed and would accept my saddle without protest.

So if anyone has lost his grey horse, I may have found it and will of course return it to the rightful owner.
On the other hand, if someone has set this horse free for whatever reason, it has now found a new home where it feels very comfortable.

Err... anyone else getting a map of a world named 'jenj' when looking at the orgcraft.org dynmap?

I'm getting the same thing. It happened in the last couple of hours as I was looking at our map OK earlier today.

The problem was a port conflict with another server running on the same box. I've fixed the problem by changing the port for our dynmap. The new port is 8122 (instead of 8123), so the map can be accessed now at:
orgcraft.org:8122 or 176.31.100.30:8122

I have updated the links in the OP.

Ah, there it is. Great, thanks very much TinCow

Aren't they gonna update the plugin?

As others have said more eloquently, There is trouble in the forest...

@Tiaexz, I am sooo sorry
I set your Tavern on fire and almost burned it down. :embarassed:



I was working on interior of the ground floor and decided to put in a nice fireplace.
It looked quite comfortable, actually.

But - stupid me - I forgot the fact that the cieling is made of wood.
And suddenly the flames started.

And before I really understood what was going on, the fire had moved to the upper floor, where the sleeping rooms were.

These pictures were taken in a short break when I ran outside to see which parts were still burning.

BSmith and Newo_Ajnin were on the server at the same time. They grabbed some buckets of water and tried to come to my help. But they had their own dramatic moments. Beeing unfamiliar with that part of the area, they missed the correct exit of the Netherbrick Road and came out at TinCow's Lair then, deciding to take the train, the circuits were messed up and they ended up goning in the wrong direction to his desert villlage.

By the time they arrived, the fire had stopped and I was able to pick them up from the train station

Still I appreciate the wood and wool they offered for the repair work.

Tiaexz, I am sorry I could not spare you those pictures.
But your Tavern shall be rebuild and repaired. I promise you that.

Cool. You got some pictures! I felt like such an idiot missing the portal in the nether. That and my game freezing often made it quite the comedy of errors.

My ranch is quickly becoming operational. Feel free to shear any of the sheep there for wool. I have all the colors. If you (or anyone) go please do me a favor and breed as many more sheep (and pigs and cows too) as you can. There is wheat in the small chest by the little hut by the sheep and carrots growing in the fields.

It is fine! Though I have to admit, your designing looked very good!

Admittedly, I made it one brick too big to the side, now that change can be fixed since the whole wall wouldn't need redoing now.. :D

Edit: Came online to see about repairs and such, already done. So yes, no problems at all! At least that old shell is getting some love.
