Org Minecraft Server

I saw a good thread on the Curse forums where a guy renovated a stronghold. It looked nice and I wonder if one can be turned into a village complete with market.

Anyone is welcome to do what they want to it. The rail line to the stronghold is complete, and it connects to the noob hotel. You can see it on the map now (I'll update the rail map later... it needs a complete re-do). The rail station is right next to the End Portal inside the stronghold, for convenience, though the portal still needs two more eyes of ender before it will work. I've lit most of the stronghold so it should be relatively safe, though I suspect there are a lot of silverfish blocks left around.

When I saw your elevator, I noticed how massive the circuitry is. I don't know if this will help, but it is a hell of a lot more compact.

I haven't found a tutorial for a zipper style that works on SMP, and the comments on that one indicate it doesn't either. The one I built was awesome, and worked as intended... but server lag issues made it unworkable for the same reason as the rest. I disassembled it because there was no way to fix it. The only version I've ever seen that appears to work consistently on server is this ugly-as-sin pressure plate style:



You can find a lot of videos of that kind of elevator out there, and it's what I would propose using. It's very compact and resource efficient. While it's perhaps not nice enough for me to put in my own base (I have high standards for my in-house redstone devices), I think it would be the best choice for a space needle design. Since it's up-only, it requires a plunge pool to descend quickly.

I do enjoy massive redstone structures, especially the ones that make lots of noise. But it seems all piston elevators are buggy in SMP. What about a boat/minecart elevator? It isn't as fancy as a piston elevator, but it's less troublesome.

If you enjoy massive redstone structures I'll pay you to finish the stadium scoreboard.

I'll take care of it if I can have the leftover redstone.

From our prior conversation I take that to mean Mega Mob Spawner: One, or more, of each type.

That's a project that's on my to-do list, but it wasn't why I asked. I just tend to use a ton of redstone in general. I like to automate everything I can, just for fun. The stuff I build these days tends to use a lot of repeaters, and each repeater uses up 3 redstone dust, so I go through it quickly. I've reclaimed about two stacks of repeaters by scrapping my elevator, but I'm still low on the actual dust.

You just wanted the redstone? Take it, it's yours. It doesn't take too much for me to wire my cities with power.
