Welcome Nigel! Feel free to trade in my villages at any time. The merchant huts in the near desert village have reliable villagers. Someone left the gate open at my other one letting them escape. I'm sure no one will have a problem donating starter supplies in less you want to do it all by yourself.

I timed the ender man trap...
When you first start it, it might take a little longer. But if you are there to enchant or repair - and have wiped out your XP in the first round of enchantment, the trap has had time to fill up. A second run starting from level 0 to 30 took me 1 min 54 sec.

Fixing a near broken diamond pick axe with unbreaking III, fortune III and efficiency IV took 3 rounds of about 36 - 38 XP repairs. That is costly...

How exactly did you do that? Even with 60 XP and a full stack of diamonds, the anvil kept telling me that it was "too expensive" (with the exact same enchantment, incidentally).

Dunno if this applies to your situation, but repairing items gets more expensive in XP the more times you do it. It also costs more if the item has a custom name. In fact, I've concluded that custom names are actively a bad idea on high level items for that very reason. If you can't repair an item due to excessive XP cost, what you can do is simply convert it to a new item. To do that, all you need to do is put an unenchanted version of the item in the first slot and the almost-broken enchanted item in the second slot. Combining them will give you a brand new enchanted item with full durability and with all the enchantments from the old almost-broken version.

Nice... Got to try that next time... might be a bit less expensive.

Or you could do as I did, which is quite XP expensive. Put one diamond into the second slot - and your awesome pick axe into the first.
Burn off 36 xp. Put the pick axe into the first slot again with a new diamond and burn off 38 xp... rinse and repeat until you have spent about 4 diamonds and a ton of XP.. and your awesome pick axe is as good as new.

It helps having a XP farm nearby...

Would I be rude to ask for a map update?

The dimensions of my castle is getting too complex for mere in game overview. I am wondering if I need to change a few of the structures.

[TinCow]

The map has been updated.

Thank you for the warm wellcome, guys.
Vladimir, I may come back on your kind offer sometime - although for now I will try to get started out of my own power as much as I reasonably can.

I cut off some branches from the trees near the noob hotel to build some simple tools. And I took a melon from the roof garden of the hotel. Do I need to do anything or will it grow back by itself?

Also, Sigurd, where is your castle located? We seem to be in similar timezones and I may drop by for a visit sometime.

I found a desert temple at x = 91 z = 3290. It's the only one I found.

EDIT: Found another one at x = 380 z = 3657. Pretty close to the first one.

[TinCow]

When I first generated the discworld, I searched the map for a while and wrote down coordinates to a bunch of stuff I found in this post. It includes a third Desert Temple: X= -3750 Z= 2888

If you'd like to feel inadequate about your Minecraft constructions, watch this:



Even for a creative mode server, that's pretty insane.

There's nothing in the temple at x = 91 z = 3290 I went there the day before yesterday and accidentally blew myself up. All the treasure and my stuff was destroyed in the explosion.

Please note that Minecraft 1.4.6 has been released, but there is no Bukkit version yet. As such, I cannot upgrade the server yet. 1.4.6 clients cannot connect to 1.4.5 servers, so do not upgrade your client yet or you won't be able to connect to the server.

[Csargo]

PistonChest doesn't seem to be working.

I am waiting for the nether brick slabs

Likely a side-effect of the update to 1.4.5-R1.0. That update, and the coming 1.4.6 update, appear to break a lot of plugins. There's nothing I can do about it but wait for the plugin devs to update their code.

The first Bukkit build of 1.4.6 has been released, but early reports indicate it's got significant problems so I've chosen not to install it just yet. Hopefully it will be improved to a more stable state in a day or two.

I am at about -1100/-1100
