Now I need to find some mooshrooms...

You'll find them in the sea around Ishmael's giant man. I was visiting last week and went by sea, and I ran into a few of them swimming around. Too bad I didn't bring any eggs.

There should be a few wandering the mainland as well. Just make sure to take some wheat to compensate for the ones you take, because there's not that many. Unfortunately the nether access there is not exactly well signposted - I've been putting it off until after we scrap the Nether in 1.5.

I could get there by boat. That's not a problem. I'll make sure to compensate your mooshrooms. I will, in fact, attempt to repopulate the mooshrooms.

Sorry for the lack of a map update recently, I was out of town over the weekend. The map is now updated and I'm working in the next updates for the old maps.

If you look in my storage room in the random chest there's a few. You can take some if you'd like.

I've got a full double chest of them from all my dungeon diving. You're welcome to take one. The chest is in my bedroom as I ran out of room in my super-rare stuff chest and haven't gotten around to renovating my workshop/storage room yet.

Ah, so it seems that there is no shortage of saddles in this world – good.

Still, I prefer to trade or work for them. After all, where is the fun if you are getting everything you need for free and without any effort?

Since I probably don’t have anything that you guys don’t have already, I will do chores, errands or quests for you or the better good of the community. I will work in your mine, build a building, transport something from North to South, rescue a princess or whatever else needs to be done.

Thanks for the map update. It seems to update the different layers differently. Closer you get the more up to date it is.

During the day map you can checkout my farm at X 1720, -1730 half of it pops into view at max resolution. My first tree hut and uber tree are to the right on the map. The newer one is to the left.

The night update shows where I've been trekking through... liberal use of torches looking for farm animals.

That's a browser cache issue. Any old images you are seeing are from your browser using cached images rather than the new ones. You should see your area on all zoom levels. If refreshing doesn't work, try clearing your cache.

Can the sand generator be re-enabled? Even if it is only temporary?
It would be a pity to get all our desert biomes strip mined.

Alternatively, perhaps we can fill our sand needs if we completedy exploit one selected desert and convert it into a different biome by a mutual effort. Just a thought.


On a different note:

@TinCow, thanks, I have finished with those maps. They can be rotated, whenever you find the time.

We switched over the the large circular map in early August 2012, so all maps from here on out will be of the current very large size. I don't have any old backups for September or October 2012, hence the date jump. There are only three more maps after this (Dec '12, Jan '13, Feb '13) and then we're done. Due to the new backup system, I will never have a permanent backup of map states from Feb '13 onwards.

Ah, I have been wondering about why we can see the whole map now and already thought someone had taken the trouble to step onto and explore every single chunk of this world.

So, I take it that "switching over" somehow allowed you to reveal the whole map at once?

Vladimir, could you post the coordinates of the abandoned sandstone castle? I am just trying to get an idea about who build what.

No, I used a program to auto-generate terrain out to a specific radius from the central spawn, to make a perfect circle. Creating terrain on-the-fly eats up a lot of server resources and causes lag, so pre-generating the world like that increases performance when people are going out to new areas. We actually run a plugin (Worldborder) that prevents anyone from going beyond that border you can see on the map. If you try you'll just get warped back. Doing this prevents further terrain generation, and thus prevents lag. The current world area is way more than we need at the moment so there's no real need to expand it further. In the unlikely event that we do run out of land and want some more, I can always make it larger.

@TinCow, the work on my city house has somewhat distracted me from this little project.
But I am still at it. I have now finished with those maps and would be ready to take on the last remaining ones.


And, @Ishmael, I have "donated" my cows to the farm. They are much better kept there and looked after than I could do it from my city house. If you don't mind, I will send you my chicken too. Your freerange pens have lots of grassy space and a water pool which should be good for them.
