Is it possible to crush cobblestone? I want to make a fully automated cobble generator.

We had something called pistonchest before, which pushed blocks into a chest. I used this to place the product of stone generators into chests. The pistonchest plugin was perhaps a little overkill, all we need really is the function of pushing blocks into chests or simply pistons that can crush blocks.
It could be a third kind of piston... spiked pistons perhaps? and it could be crafted with diamond. Yes.. we need something like this, all though a little overkill (this seem to be a problem with young developers, adding too much functionality to something that should be simple)

Can y'all whitelist someone for me? its_lochei is her IGN. thanks if you do

[Vladimir]

I'm up to 37 blocks of diamonds. Anyone have any iron they'd like to get rid of?

For those interested I have built both a cobblestone generator tower and a smooth stone generator (which could also be used for cobble without silk touch). Both of these are under the lodge in town. Best way to get there is to enter from the river walk near the lodge, then turn right and go down the stairs. I believe I have everything signed and self explanatory, but let me know if you have any questions.

Message from the Server Gods: "We're receiving many tickets from clients who restarted their servers recently. Do not do that. Mojang's session server is currently down and you'll be unable to connect. (Valid only for "online" servers)

So what I take from that is that the server host is using American English. For the rest I have no idea.

[BSmith]

Well, it is right that I am unable to log in... keeps timing out.

Mojang has servers that check your login to see if you've paid for the game. That check occurs before you can login to any MP server, such as Orgcraft. Sometimes those servers go down, which means you cannot login to the MP servers because your ID can't be checked by Mojang. However, this doesn't stop you from playing on a MP server if you're already online when the login servers go down. That message is a warning provided by our hosts that such a situation is occurring. If you see a message like that, be aware that if you log off of Orgcraft, you will not be able to log back on until the Mojang authentication servers come back online.

FYI, one of my chores for this weekend it to try and get the mining world implemented. This will probably involve some down time for the server, or at a minimum multiple reboots. I will certainly alert whoever is online at the time before I take the server down, but I wanted to post this as a heads-up.

[TinCow]

The Mineworld is now complete. You can access it through a unique portal made of bedrock, which is located in the plot in the city north of the plaza and west of the Space Needle. We are going to build a large train/portal station in the city and the Mineworld portal will eventually move there, but for now it will remain where I have placed it.

The Mineworld is a brand new world that has a pre-generated radius of 2000. It is set with difficulty on Hard, so it is dangerous. Dynmap also does not map it, so you'll have to explore it old school style. People in Mineworld can chat with everyone else like normal, even through Dynamp, they just will not appear on any Dynworld map and will instead show as grayed out until they return to the main world. Mineworld will be wiped and re-created whenever necessary to allow us access to new materials/blocks that do not exist in the main world. As such, do not build anything there that you care about losing.

[BSmith]

Do creepers cause block damage in mineworld or is it the same as the main world?

At the moment it is the same as the main world. I intend to change that, but it will require me to change the plugins responsible for that as our current one does not have multiworld support.

Sweet I like a wilderness challenge.

So fortify entry point, map out the surrounds, go explore new regions. Oh and mine like a colonial super power.

Complete with villages to exploit and raze.

[TinCow]

Ok, Mineworld has now been tweaked a bit. Creeper explosions now damage the world there, unlike in the main world. In addition, you can no longer use /home and /sethome there. To get home, you'll need to walk back through the portal to the main world... or die. Welcome back to old school Minecraft.

At least, that's how I hope it's working right now. These changes were a bit more complex than the rest, so please let me know if you can still /home from mineworld, if creepers don't do damage to terrain there, or if creepers DO do damage in the main world.

[edit] Apparently we cannot take horses through the portals in either direction at the moment. I'm not sure if it's even possible, but I will look into it.

[Papewaio]

There are horses just east of the portal. Towards the setting sun. I suggest getting them close to the portal and using them to ride around the world.

I've made a safe house just south of the portal in a cliff face. Lots of caves beneath it unexplored.

The portal area needs to be fortified and better lot further out. Enemies hit harder and you don't want for die on entry.

Dynmap has been updated and now displays colored clay blocks properly. I have manually re-rendered the two areas of the map that I knew contained those (the lighthouse and Pape's village). Let me know if there are other places that need to be re-rendered as well.

[Papewaio]

Awesome. I can see my giant clay torch flame and blue clay crystal watch tower!

All ten or so clay colours show up nicely in the town.

Welcome! I have whitelisted you.

Holy ****. I truly hope this server will be like this.

FYI, I have postponed the Iron Trench. I think the problem might (emphasis on MIGHT) be a biome issue. I contacted the creator, so I am just waiting for his response.

I have intimate knowledge of that server... The Imperial City. I have walked in its streets looking at architecture. These guys are good.. and they use creative mode to build

Many if not most of the pretty worlds are like that. All they're doing is recreating things that already exist using infinite resources.

[BSmith]

Cave exploring in mineworld is certainly not for the faint of heart! I have expanded/rearranged the safe house a little bit. A creeper somehow got near the door and blew himself up necessitating some repairs and I decided to move the chest/crafting table/furnace farther away from any potential blast zone. I also added an anvil for item repair, and put in iron doors instead of wooden.

On the dungeon side I added an iron door down there as well, and dug a new mine. I called it the Emerald Mine because I have fished more emeralds out of the ground than diamonds. Take the ladder down to almost the bottom and there is a platform with a chest and crafting table. You should be able to see my method for mining, so if you do mine down there please keep the same system. Where I came across lava or other openings I tried to leave at least one block open so you could see the danger.

The floor is at level 12, so you should be right above most of the lava pools. Feel free to open up lines at bedrock, but there are lava pools in the area, so beware!

I love looking at all of the incredible things that people can make in creative, but personally I find it boring to build in creative. There's no challenge to it, which makes the accomplishment of the structure itself less satisfying. If Minecraft were only creative mode I would have stopped playing years ago.

Zombies jump from the top of the cliff into the walled area around the safe house.

I need to put in a glass roof so they can't directly get in. Add walls on the cliff above and light up the hill.

Yeah, Tango responded. He said:

"Different biomes is just fine. Be careful of water freezing if the main structure is in tundra"

I am at my wits end. The problem I'm having is a persistent village. No matter what, there is one village hanging around. Even when the manual reset has been pushed and all existing villages have been destroyed. That existing village causes the entire rebuild process to fail. It just links up with newly created villages.

There is a strong possibility that I will just rebuild it somewhere else.



EDIT: TC, does Mineworld have its own Nether and End?

[BSmith]

Can you build it at a smaller scale? Would that be easier to build/troubleshoot?

Feel free to use the chest of cobble in the safe house for beefing up the defenses.
