There is only one small part to go for the Iron Farm. But I'm running low on iron. A stack should suffice, and I can be done within an hour of playing. All that's left is the aesthetics. It should be done within 16 hours of posting. I need to sleep and work.

Also, TC, I borrowed a few slimeballs, since I spent almost an hour hunting down slimes, which weren't enough. I'll reimburse you when this is done.

LOL, no need. In fact, I'm overflowing with slimeballs due to my automated farm; they simply don't get used at anywhere near the rate that they get produced. Once I hit two full double chests of the stuff I'm going to have to manually glass over the entire farm spawning floors to turn the machine off. I considered this problem when I built it, but there was no practical way to add in an auto on/off switch so it's going to be a manual process. Fortunately, the machine should not need to be turned on or off very frequently.

@Vladimir, @spankythehippo

I have placed 1/2 stack of iron ingots in my exchange box at the stock exchange (Plaza building 2).
I know this amount is probably small fish for you, but for me this is quite a lot.

Also, I am asking for diamonds in exchange at a rate of 2 iron : 1 diamond.
To be honest, I dont really have an idea how valuable diamonds really are. So if you think this price is crazy, there is one stack of redstone dust to go with it, too. But if you think it is cheap, feel free to top it up with some marble (nether quartz).

Iron is more like 50 iron:1 diamond, it's really rare, redstone is comparable to iron. If you have any mossy cobble stone I would wilingly trade... oh, 5 diamonds a stack.

Unfortunately I can't get on to Minecraft at the moment to check this, due to my current internet connection, but I believe I have a few stacks of iron ore, redstone blocks and diamonds at my place. If anybody still wants any of those feel free to help yourself, as long as you leave one stack of each behind. I wouldn't mind a little nether quartz or glowstone if people do want to take some, but I'm not really using any at present so I don't absolutely need anything in exchange.

Thanks Nigel and Ishmael. I'm only in need of redstone because spanky's Iron farm should provide enough of that. Fortune III is also providing a lot of redstone so I'll look at that my needs are after using what I recently recovered. While looking for it I've found extra diamonds and lapis I have to spare. Lots of quartz too.

The Iron Farm is complete, BUT (and this is a big but... teeheehee) the timer controlling the village realignment on the roof via minecart has to be manually enabled (by removing one of the redstone torches that is connected to the timer). This isn't meant to happen, maybe due to an error in the secondary village, or the Phase 1 circuitry in the main building itself. I initially thought the vertical wiring was incorrect, but it doesn't appear to be that way. Also, due to the manual timer activation, one of the crucial droppers will not pulse. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and can resolve this issue, I will be immensely grateful. If not, but you are a redstone genius, I can present the problem when we're both online.

If worst comes to worst, I might ask Tango for some help. Given how stupid I am, there is bound to be a mistake which is escaping my eyes. Apologies for the delay.

Oh, hehe, it looks like my fantasy price was miles away from reality.
Well, and now that the iron farm is completed and (almost) working perfectly, iron prices are sure going to plummet.

Still, the offer is there and if anyone wants it, just ignore the price tag and leave me whatever amounts you consider adequate.

Damnit, all that effort getting the pickaxe with the enchantment and I break through the ceiling of a lava lake. Bye bye, diamond armour and tools.

I have reconfigured Dynmap and started the new renders. I believe that I have found settings that won't cause much lag during the render, so hopefully it won't impact play much. The initial map render will take a bit longer this way, but it seems like the best option. I have started with the End map (because it's the smallest) and will then move on to the Nether and the Overworld in turn. The Overworld in particular will take a very long time, so please be patient with it. It should be pretty obvious how much more work it has left to do.
