It's certainly a very...spiritually enlightening message.

Heheheh. It's not exactly SFW, but who's playing Minecraft at work?

[Csargo]

Who's building the castle at x = 869 z = 4356?

As Tincow and Nigel said that is indeed my castle/fortress project atm. Sand/Sandstone/gravel donations are being accepted. :D

Status of the city build: (compare with plan)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

To the Farm builder near the Capitol building.

There will be a 9 block wide road on the farm side of the that building, which means the boundary poles needs to move back a few blocks. There will also be a mild terraforming to get the road level with the rest of the city level.

Sure, those were only a rough guideline for myself. I'll move them back a little (probably roughly in line with the row of poles behind those two).

Since the Die is now gone, I'd like to propose that we move the harbor to the squared ocean area where the Die used to be. I think making a harbor out of that location would make it look far less jarring, and a squared out area like that would make sense for a modern-design harbor.

Just in case you weren't aware, cobblestone works as well. 9 cobblestone crafts into 9 gravel.

Hmmm. There might be a slight problem. Sazak and I left the floating trees, as a memento of where the die used to be. I can get rid of most of the bottom level trees, and leave some of the higher trees.

Nigel, I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty of relocating your animal pen over to near your house. One of your cows was particularly truculent - I had to MobCapture it to make it come!

Are you sure you aren't a Tassie?

[Ishmael]

Are you sure you aren't a Tassie?

Now that's just slander! (although at least you aren't calling me a Queenslander)

[Nigel]

hmm, those must be Australian inside jokes - I don't get any of it, but then, perhaps I am not supposed to.

And no, I dont mind you moving my cows at all.
In fact, I also saw that someone has relocated my little pig and the chicken to a place closer to my home, for which I am really grateful.

That was me... they were roadblocking

I have started on the first shop building and I gather it will be enough with two stories + loft. It is an expandable design where you can basically divide it into sections lengthwise and height wise. Not saying that all need to keep to this design, but I think for a city center - the buildings should have similar height for the bulk of them.

There can be monument-like buildings which stand out, like a capitol building, cathedrals or towers.
The facade of the n00b hotel could be re-made or made taller (add floors). The interior is too well made for a remake of the entire building.

BTW: We need clay for bricks

I plan on building a tower like the Space Needle. It will need a relatively large plot, as the base will need to curve out decently to keep the proportions correct. At the top will be an observation deck. Hopefully I'll be able to cram an elevator system into the middle of it, but SMP elevators are a big problem so I'll have to do some research on that first.

Unless you're planning on it, I'll work on the plaza first though. I've got some ideas for some redstone-powered fountains that I'd like to try out.

Where would you like to build it? Between the villas and the volcano? somewhere between the harbour and the capitol building?
The plaza is up for grabs.. I didn't see past the paving of stone slabs. Also think of something for street lights... the torches is kinda... Medieval.

Ideally I'd like for the Arena to be at least partially visible from the top, but for layout purposes I think between the harbour and capital would probably be better. Maybe a large building out there will help encourage more development as well.

Also think of something for street lights... the torches is kinda... Medieval.

I dumped about 10 stacks of glowstone at the construction area for street lights. I think a simple lamp-post system would work, with two netherbrick fences on the bottom topped by a single glowstone. Once the area gets urbanized a bit more, the lamp posts could hang horizontally off of the buildings instead of being freestanding.

Would anybody mind if I terraformed the island at (125,160) near my farm into a 'mushroom island?' I don't want to disturb the aesthetic of the town if people feel it's out of place, but it would make a handy spot to put the farm's mooshrooms (since that island is pretty useless for anything else).

Typical government propaganda.

Sigurd, I gather that you're planning on building a bunch of smaller buildings in the town area. If so, can you reserve the ground floor of one of them to be used as a disco? I've got some ideas for some fun redstone lighting effects that I'd like to install somewhere, and the town seems appropriate.

[spankythehippo]

I have decided to blow up my old castle. Well, part of it. I initially planned to make a replica of Osaka Castle, so to make history, I blew it up. There was a gunpowder explosion and fire in 1660, so I made that happen. My castle is now a death trap. Explore at your own peril.

[Nigel]

Was not 1660 also the year of the great fire of London?
That fire apparently started by an unguarded fireplace in a bakery and destroyed a mayor part of the city causing a law to be passed that new buildings had to be constructed of stone.

A scary coincidence.

[TinCow]

1666

Smaller... whateverdoyoumean? The current building is the smallest of them all.

Jokes aside.
I plan to build an identical building on the same plot next to my current building with a small plaza in between. You could excavate the rest of the sub floor of the current building (entrance facing n00b hotel) for your disco. That wouldn't be too unthinkable compared to today's cities. Make it a bar + disco = nightclub.

[TinCow]

Yeah, the subground floor would work well, actually. Leave it as-is and I'll fix it up.

I received a request to put up a Ventrilo server to make communication easier. Thus, we now have a Ventrilo server.

Hello Friends,

I have finally completed the building work on my city house and moved into it.
To celebrate this a little, I am giving a House Warming Part.

There is a cake on the table - please come and help yourself to it.
There is meat and bread and fruit in the little dining room drawer and more food in the kitchen.

Do take a look around. The top floor is not really furbished yet and still in a bit of a mess. But the ground floor is getting comfortable now and just as I hoped it would be. Feel free to take a look everywhere and please sign my guest book.

[TinCow]

FYI, don't upgrade to 1.5.2 yet. Many of our plugins have not yet been updated and will break if I upgrade. 1.5.2 only includes bug fixes anyway, so I'm not inclined to rush to get it installed.

[Vladimir]

Does the town project need any donations of netherrack, Nether brick, or quartz?

[TinCow]

We could use some netherbrick. I donated about 10 stacks of glowstone for uniform street lamps, but we still need the netherbrick fences to put them on.
