That is much appreciated. I believe they should be in a chest close to the entrance/exit. I may have some in my desert outpost, across from the bridge. Take a spare if you like as I'll likely not use them.

If anyone has any mossy cobblestone to spare or trade, please let me know what you'd like in return. I still have several stacks of obsidian I may not use for a while. There's no tax for using the trading village but gifts are appreciated.

There are several dungeons that I have planned to raid. I'll make sure to mine the mossy cobblestone.

The server seems more stable now that TreeAssist has been disabled.

Yep, we haven't had a single error message or crash since I removed it.

I'm really liking this guy's stronghold renovation: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/...ictures-added/

Almost ready to ask for villager spawn eggs for the desert. I may build a slum and force relocate some of them.

Stop being so productive! You've managed to build two villages in the time it's taken me to create half of one.

I actually just recently became productive. I didn't have a plan for the new village until a couple weeks ago and went from there. While I still have some security concerns and more decoration is needed, it's almost ready for population. I plan on having one trapped in each bazaar stall and hope there are enough doors for a golem spawn.

Map update!

[Vladimir]

Have the updated affected slime spawning? I've checked my small farm and TC's and I got nuthin.

Not as far as I am aware. Make sure that you spend some time nearby but not too close. There's both a minimum and maximum distance you need to be from the spawn before they'll spawn.

I've just finished the 'shell' of my slums (no decoration yet), and I have to say that the place is a fire trap. I'm petrified of even putting flint and tinder on my quickbar when I'm entering it. Needless to say, no fireplaces in those buildings.

Still, progress is steady, and I'm hoping to have the place entirely finished by the end of next month. Key word here is 'hoping.'

EDIT:

By the way spanky, would you mind collecting the cobwebs lying around if you do so (and it's a spider spawner)? I wouldn't mind purchasing them off you for use in some of my more 'run-down' buildings.

Never mind, I just saw on the wiki that you can't collect them. Oh well.

Look at my old village to get ideas for fireplaces. Those were designed in an earlier version but the one in my desert village is new. Take a look at it. The wiki has a good guide but it just takes practice. Remember: Water stops fire..

You can collect webs but you can't place them. Maybe in creative mode?

I've managed to make fireplaces in a couple of wooden buildings so far without burning them down (well, more than once), but my reason for not doing so in the slums is threefold: firstly, there's not really enough room in most buildings for a fireplace; secondly, they're the plebs and so it's more thematically appropriate for them to freeze; and thirdly, I really, really don't want to run the risk of a fire there (I just don't trust myself enough to not make a mistake :D).

I tried adding a hearth to the huts in my new village but fire spreads upward regardless of how well it's contained. The huts were too small to have the roofs beyond the upper limit. Since there were air blocks between the contained fire and the roof, the roof would always catch on fire.

I started using soul sand as mud but can't use netherrack as I intended. The roofs would need to be inflammable.

[Vladimir]

Oh great Cow of Tin. Please briefly grant me your powers of creation that I may create a society to glorify you...well, not really. More like a bunch of testificates, but I'll buy you and your wife a drink some time.

[Ishmael]

By the way TinCow, I may have accidentally broken your incinerator. It somehow got stuck so that the glass was up when the lava wasn't flowing, and vice versa. Somewhat hazardous.

[Vladimir]

Hey TC, one of the villagers fell into the sewer. Could you spawn a few more randomly when you get the chance?

[rajpoot]

They need to be kept easy on the booze.

It was a priest too. He's either purging the demons or tripped over his robe. What he's doing, he's now a permanent dweller.

[Ishmael]

I think I've made my disreputable tavern a bit too...reputable. It's surprisingly difficult to deliberately make a building appear run-down, and not just sloppy on my part.

[Hook]

You could add dispensers that toss empty glass bottles on the floor when someone walks in. Another dispenser with a button labeled "XXX" that tosses out a splash potion of slowness could be fun too.

That would be kind of funny. Glass bottles laying all over the floor. Make sure there is standing water on the bathroom floor.

[Vladimir]

I love how you can use blocks of snow to contain lava.

The server has been updated to CraftBukkit 1.3.2-R1.0. This is mainly a performance update, which apparently fixes some issues with crashing and chunk loading.

[Vladimir]

Sweet.

I really wish large biomes were available in a much earlier version. My little towns are taking up so much space!

[Ishmael]

So, uh...TinCow, I swear this was accidental:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I'm really not quite sure what happened . One minute I pressed the sand generator button, and the next I was rapidly suffocating under an ever-advancing wall of sand. Anyway, I cleaned it all up apart from the displaced cobblestone (as I didn't have a pick on me). I hope it hasn't gummed up the works or something.

[TinCow]

That's a hazard of the system. If for some reason something interrupts the timing of the mechanism, that happens. It's happened to me a half dozen times, so no big deal. It happened far more often when I had the 'clean out' mechanism as part of it, which is why I removed that button. I suspect it was a lag blip or something.

I'm really demotivated to complete my castle. I know I will complete it, at some stage, but it's just so depressing to look at. I will get back into Minecraft when my Siren reaches Level 50 in Borderlands 2.

Don't worry, I know how you feel. I'm in a productive mood at present, but for a couple of months my compound consisted of only the tower, and the sheer emptiness of it was disheartening.

[Ishmael]

Ah drat. I finally manage to enchant myself another Unbreaking III pickaxe, and so what do I do? I take it with me into the Nether, where I promptly drown in lava. Along with all my other diamond tools. Fortunately I've just finished rebuilding my diamond stockpiles after a couple of other lava-related deaths (it's the shift key's fault, not mine!).
