Org Minecraft Server

[Csargo]

That's a really amazing piece of work Tiaexz.

Unfortunately, that server is having issues and might be going down, so trying to get them to install world edit at least first so I can get a copy of it. It took me a couple of weeks of very intense playing just to get it to that point.

If that was made in survival mode and you can get a copy of the proper file, I will import it into the server.

In other news, the server is now running 1.3.1. I have not done any of the map editing, as the only spherical terrain generator I have found requires bukkit and bukkit hasnt been released yet for 1.3.1. Instead of using a non-optimal terrain generator, I shall simply be patient and wait for the bukkit update. Once that is release, I will prune the terrain appendages, generate the new terrain, and then add a mod or two.

Well, it is Tekkit-Survival, which uses buildcraft and forestry (so quarries, tree-farms, etc) so a lot of industry related stuff to get the resources. Plus a few of the things on there is not in vanilla minecraft, so I would have to get a copy of it, I would then remove everything which is not in the vanilla minecraft off it, then attempt it on a private server to see if it comes out okay.

Mostly after a copy for private because well, it is basically Arena size in terms of scale, but if I can get the copy of it, I will host it on a private server, then I will allow you to inspect it for approval and decide whether or not you want to have it in this world.

Did anybody else see this in the 1.3 fixes?

-Removed Herobrine

I... I knew I was seeing something...

I believe that is part of a running gag with Mojang. They say that with every update, which gives the impression that Herobrine is removed, but he always sneaks in anyway. Like a ghost.

[spankythehippo]

I must say, leveling up with this update has become a breeze. I leveled up 12 times in 5 minutes. Just from mining and smelting.

While building my slime farm, I stumbled across an abandoned mine. So I mined quite a bit of random ores, but I need to complete the farm. If anyone wants gold, I'll be glad to get rid of it. I don't have a lot, but for me, 14 is a huge amount of gold.

All of the signs in the Nether appear to be blank, as well as some in the actual world.

Edit: It might just be me though because I just walked into my storage area and half of those signs were blank, when I logged out and logged back in they were back.

[TinCow]

Interesting, maybe it's an issue with the client not receiving the text from the server. The 1.3.1 patch included a lot of networking and server changes, and others have reported some oddness on logging in and such. Next time you see a blank sign, try reloading the chunks to see if it fixes it. You can do that by pressing and holding F3 and A.

I've spawned about 10 villagers each at the villages near my new place, diain's place, and snowstorm/csargo. I spawned 20 at Vlad's village, since it's significantly larger. I also added 2 iron golems at the snowstorm/csargo village, since it didnt look very well lit or protected. If the villages get depopulated again, I will do another round of spawning.

SAND!

I just finished building a sand generator. I just did a production speed test, and in 60 seconds it produced 875 sand (about 13 2/3 stacks), which works out to just under 3.5 stacks of sandstone every minute. This makes it much, much easier to produce buildings out of sand, sandstone, and glass. It is also more ecologically friendly, as it doesn't require strip-mining of the deserts. The machine is available for public use and can be found in the Industrial Sector/Workshop room of my new house. Be aware that it does produce a bit of lag while it is turned on. The amount of lag is only slightly noticeable for me, but I have a very good connection to the server. If you're using the machine while others are online, please notify them before you turn it on just in case they are in an inconvenient location and the lag is enough to impact them.

TinCow, you are a champion . I had been dreading the prospect of mining all the sand for my main sandstone building, and with impeccable timing you come along and make this. No more cutting down on the size of my tower now!

[Csargo]

I've built a wall around the village between my house and snowstorm's house. There's only one entrance at the moment, but I plan on adding at least one more gate. I also lit up the inside of the village pretty well, but the outside is still pretty dark. Added 2 more iron golems for extra protection.

[spankythehippo]

Grrr. I'm so pissed with my slime farm. I've been excavating the wrong chunks. I think I was using the wrong seed.

So, I rechecked the slime finder thing. Luckily, there is a slime chunk nearby. With my old and wrong farm, I had 4 chunks in a 3x3 square that would spawn slimes. With my new one, it is also the same. And it just so happens that the chunks that overlap is where my entrance is located. So that saves me a bit of trouble.



I've excavated quite a lot of the old farm. Now I have to excavate the other direction. Luckily, the chunks overlap.

(Yes, I know my handwriting is childish.)

The server seed is 6168998067453653590. I've put it in the OP for easy reference, as it was just buried in a random post.

That's it, I want you to draw the architectural plans for my house.

I have a query as to how view-signs work - if I place a sign with #view whilst facing an object, will the view on the map be of the object, or directly behind me (where the sign is 'facing')? I would assume the former, but I just want to double-check.

I'm pretty sure it will be in the direction you are facing when you place it. That said, I'm not 100% sure because I haven't done it myself. I'll generate a new map tomorrow, so if you want to put up a few signs to test things out, now would be a good time to do it.

[Csargo]

Would it be okay if I built something like this at the blaze spawner in the Nether fortress?

[TinCow]

That would be very cool. I can't think of a single reason why it would be bad to build one of those... other than the sheer difficulty of making a complex contraption like that in the nether.

[TinCow]

The map has been updated. It appears that the map program is not displaying the new blocks added in 1.3.1, most notably sandstone stairs and the new kinds of wood stairs. This makes some structures which use them look odd. I'll try and find a solution for this.

[Vladimir]

I know I haven't been on much but it looks like someone took a huge chunk out of my desert.

[Beskar]

I logged in and apparently my skin was changed to this...

What the... so I disconnected from the server and relogged in.

I am getting seriously trolled.

Edit: The skins are from here, http://bdcraft.net/forum/bdcraft-skins it seems to be overriding my current chosen skin. It fixed itself.. but that was weird.

Sorry, that was probably me. Now that TinCow's sand generator is up I'm more than happy to fix that up again (initial plans were to mine to the bottom of the sand, then put one layer of sand on top again. Now I can just use straight sand the whole way).

EDIT: Looks like the view-sign is working well.

Blaze XP farm is complete besides some redstone wiring.

[TinCow]

Bukkit was released for 1.3.1 a few days ago. Yesterday I did some testing on the various map editing programs requires to implement the crop and regenerate plan for the outer world. I've still got some fiddling to do with them, but I believe the programs I have will work just fine for what we want. Unfortunately, two of the three programs required to complete the process also take a long time to run (the ones that generate new terrain, and then blend the borders of the new stuff into the old stuff). Based on the tests I was running yesterday, completing the process could take anywhere from several hours to a full day, and I will have to take the server offline when I do this. At the moment, I plan on doing this on Friday, as I have the day off and can babysit it the whole time in case problems arise. So, apologies in advance, but the server will likely be down for a significant portion of Friday.

Don't worry, I will be making multiple backups of everything before I start modifying things.

[spankythehippo]

I'm excited about the Bukkit thing.


Also, TC, another friend of mine want's to join. Lacrimas is his name.

Blaze Farm is completed and works great. Just some aesthetic changes to finish then I'll be done with it.

Which fortress is it at?

[spankythehippo]

I believe Sazak and I saw it on the way to your underground palace. It's pretty visible from the path.

Also, TC, Sazak and I "borrowed" a bit of cobblestone from your place. He's getting his dice set up. I'll mine some more and give it back. It's pretty obvious that cobblestone will be crucial for the city.

[Tuuvi]

I'm planning on demolishing my base that's by the arena (the walled enclosure with a red brick house in it), so when you start plotting out the grids for the city that area can be included in it.

@Vladimir: Do you mind if I connect the road in your desert to my dock? I want to build a road there so I can have easier access from my island to the main area of the server.
