This thread is mainly aimed at those who are whitelisted and play Minecraft on the DakkaDakka Minecraft Server.

So the new 1.7 release of Minecraft is scheduled for 25th October. We plan to upgrade the DakkaDakka Minecraft server to the official release sometime shortly after that date (but I can’t confirm an exact date just yet).

As part of the upgrade, we will reset the world. Everything gets erased.

I'm sorry for the short notice, but Mojang only announced this earlier this week.

Why?
In 1.7 they are introducing new biomes including new rules for how biomes are laid out (e.g. it's unlikely that a desert biome will be next to a snow biome). Also, recent updates have added new items that are only obtainable from new world generation (nether quartz, name tags, horse armour etc). The current world has been explored to the point where it makes it difficult and/or tedious to find locations that have the new items. In order to get the new biomes, even further travel would be needed. While there are workarounds to these problems, this massive change to biome generation seems like an apt time to reset the world.

But DON’T PANIC, because many of you have put in quite a lot of excellent work building many fancy structures, I will take on the daunting task of copying any requested structures across to the new world.

Some of you have asked about having to take screenshots of chest contents etc. This isn't necessary, chest contents are preserved during a copy (so are persistent mobs such as horses, sheep, villagers etc). Make sure any chests or mobs you want to keep are inside your structure and not wandering around outside or buried underground (or even just underneath your structure - I will not be copying the ground underneath your structure unless there are visible rooms etc).

I will only copy structures, no roads, tunnels, nor natural spawned terrain like mountains or lakes etc. If you have a large underground base or rooms, halls etc. then I can copy it no problem. Just bear in mind that the more underground stuff I copy, the less "fresh" terrain will be available for mining.

I will not be resetting your inventories, so don’t worry about chucking things into a chest before the reset. However I will be resetting your player locations to the new spawn point, to prevent you logging in in the middle of nowhere or an ocean etc.

Please make your requests below in the following format:

1) Current coordinates of structure
This should be at least the x and z coords of any point within your structure.
Make sure to get the x and z coordinates, not the x and y coordinates (as the y coordinate is just height and is less useful than the z coordinate). If you’re not sure, get the x, y and z coordinates. If you want to be super specific you can get the x, y and z coords of two diagonally opposing corners of your structure, but I should be able to figure it out on my own.
To get the coords, go to your structure on the server and press F3 to display the coords. If you don't have time to login to the game, you can also use the map. Zoom in on your structure and either copy the URL, or copy the coordinates from the bottom left corner.
2) Preferred new location for structure
If you don't care for specifics, I can take vague requests now, such as “I don’t mind”, to “Somewhere far away”, to “a mountain biome”.
However, for those who would prefer to choose a specific location, within the next few days I will set up a 1.7.1(+) server that will either at least show a map, or may even let you login to explore and choose a preferred location. I'll keep you updated when this will be available.
3) The Preferred new location must be further than 500 blocks in any direction from spawn
If you’re requesting somewhere that is specific coords, we want to start with some fresh land in the center of the map for new builds. This means you can request x: -704, z: 143, but not x: 255, z: 255. I'll see if I can get a box to display on the map to mark out what's acceptable.

Do not simply make a request like “Please copy the Manor”
For all I know there could be more than one structure with that name or I may not even know what you mean. Also don’t post screenshots of your structure, I’m not going to explore the entire world trying to find the one structure that looks like yours. Coordinates or nothing.

All destination requests are first come first served.
If two people ask for the same spot, whoever asked first gets it. The world is huge, there will be plenty of places to go around.

Do not request to have your structure copied to a rare biome, The End, or the Nether.
I’m not putting structures in the nether, unless your structure is already in the Nether. There are some rare biomes, therefore they should only get new build structures. (I'll update this with the names of the rare biomes once I get them - I need to investigate )

If specifying coordinates, try to match the current location.
E.g. don’t ask for a massive building to be placed on the narrow peak of a mountain, or some above ground structure to be placed underwater etc.

If you have a “secret” place you want copied, PM me your request.
I understand you may have a place which you don’t want advertised here. So PM me in those cases. The date and time of the PM will count towards any “first come first served” rules.

If you are not clear with your request, your structure may be copied to a random location or missed entirely.

You can request a structure that does not belong to you be copied
However, the owner gets final say on the new location. If you request a structure that is not yours be copied, this does not mean you get to own it.

This thread is for structure copying requests only.

UPDATE:
http://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap

Ok, requests for specific locations (at least 500 blocks from spawn!) for copied structures are first come first served.

You can't ask to go to "rare" biomes, such as "Mesa (Bryce)", "Ice Spikes", "Jungle", "Savanna Mountain", "Mooshroom Island", "Mega Taiga" (the one with Podzol) etc. I'm also saying no to "Mesa" requests, as although it's not "rare" it's far less common than say "Savannah" or "Roofed Forest". It's still ok to build new things in these places of course, I'm just not placing copied structures there.

Please provide either coords or map links at least (map links contain the coords, so can be easier for you).

Either post them in this thread or PM me.

Please make new posts if you change anything, don't edit your posts, or I might not notice the edit.

If you want to go outside the range of the map, please let me know a suitable biome or direction etc (if you haven't done so already).

If you have already asked for "anywhere" or "any x biome" and haven't changed your mind now, it's a good idea to reconfirm, just so I don't chase you later.

Those of you who had huge chunks of natural terrain copied (n0t_u, Ian Sturrock, etc), I'm thinking about using your places to reclaim some of the ocean, using this MCEdit filter to neaten things up. Would you be ok with an island like that or prefer to be on mainland (or on mainland extending out to ocean etc)?

Lastly, please realise that there have been major changes to the biome generation, biomes now come in a great variety of sizes, so it's not ok to try to claim an entire biome. Also the ability to zoom in and out so far on the map can make it difficult to judge distances accurately. Please try to be reasonable with any requests.

1. X = -662 Z= 2700 y=55. The Entire thing. Including walls. Underground, the labyrinth as well. Which is quite small compared to most builds. The Labyrinth continues on till x= -569 z= 2819.05 and y = 39 (But you do not have to copy the labyrinth.)

2. Roofed Forest or a Desert.

3. Must be around 3000 Blocks away. And must be above ground, except for the underground bits. (AND NOT ON THE MAP)

Hopefully that is adequate.

x-2100 z2000

The Grey Mesa, in other words.

I don't need the full Deeps copied over- just copy to the bottom of the pit in the main room. And if you can get all the way out to the outer walls, that would be great.


I'd like to be in (again) a Winter biome. If possible, one next to an Ice Spires biome (I don't want to replace the spires, just have them nearby.)

Huh... What's interesting is that will actually include two other player's locations.

Right here goes:

My fortress:
x=-2349
z=-462
y=67 (I included this as there is a little redstone wiring under the ground I'd like copying, so y=67 is the ideal lowest block from which to copy from up to the top of the structure)

Could this please be placed in a plains or Savannah biome (preferably the first) around 2000 or so blocks from spawn, with the gate facing towards spawn? If there is a roofed forest (or whatever it is called) nearby then all the better. I'll look for a location when a map is uploaded, but that gives you a rough idea.

My villagers:
This isn't essential but I'd like to have them in the new world and moving them between bases to my fortress would take time, so would prefer them just copied across. They are in an underground structure:
corner 1
x=-2187
y=39
z=-376

corner 2
x=-2197
y=44
z=-386

If this could be placed next too, or inside my fort then that would be great, if not then never mind


On behalf of Cantium:
Could his buildings be placed in a snow biome of some kind? The nearer to me the better (again, I'll look on the map when it comes out)
x=-2763
z=-440

and his villager farm to also be placed near his buildings in the new world
x=-2627
z=-398

Many thanks Dark, your hard work is much appreciated

Fort Kiip.
http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/733/64/3442/-1/0/0

And the statue of the Holy Kiip, preferably the whole hill, but that's not required.
http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/756/64/3349/max/0/0




I'd preferably have them placed in a mountain biome close to some snow and woods. The statue should preferably overlook the Fortress

Okeydoke time for a request good Mr Darkinnit sir.

1. x=1558
z=430
Map URL incase my coords are bad. http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/1546/64/403/max/0/0

2. I'd just like the Rohan style hall copied. I'm happy to part with the cobble half sphere to the north, watchtower and weird sandstone fort I built on a whim. The hall also has a basement but I'm fine for that to go if they are causing an issue with copying.
Please can the hall be relocated to a hilly plains biome if possible? Wherever is convenient for you/looks decent. All the effort that goes into copying things over is much appreciated.

Can I bring over JUST chest contents, if I don't want to bring buildings over but DO want to bring items?

Or should I just have a small building copied over and have all the chests in there, to make it easier for you?

The 4 Towers of Never-Finished are here > http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/507/64/3513/-1/0/0

I'd like the whole structure, from the highest chunk of the tower to the ground-level entrance copied over, preferably on any tall hill near the Kingdom of Kiip, if Noobbomb is OK with that. If it's possible, I'd also love to have my tunnel system I started underneath my place copied over.

~Tim?

I know I haven't been on in a while, but I'd like to get my tower transported over
http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/640/64/3610/-1/0/0

I'd like it moved to near wherever thenoobbomb is, preferably on a place that is easy to dig out under it, so I can finish the floating Tower of Alf. No need to bring any of the basement contents, just my first floor and everything above it

I'll try to get the coords soon too, if needed. Bit of a problem to do so from my phone

Hey Dark.

I'd like this moved over

http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/863/64/-1311/-1/0/0

My fortress, plus all in it. There's a hot tub, pole dancing area and other bits and bobs. The mine entrance doesn't need to be copied. I'd like it moved to plains nearby a roofed forest if I can.

Could I please have my house? It's at 191, -1520.

Possibly with the surrounding area, since most of the place is actually underground. You can ignore the Squirtle I never got around to finishing as there's nothing under that, some of the pens around there are fine if they're left out too.

I'd also like it if the City of Ghost could be moved as well, might finally get around to expanding it with a business sector. It's at 1509, -1040. Don't need to worry about anything outside the walls of the main section. The monorail went no where and that's all there really was to it, I'd just make a new section and finish the track to it instead.

As for any preferences for where they could go, the house would be fine anywhere on a field with maybe some water nearby like a river. I'd fix up the rest to make it fit in myself. The city could be in a desert or on the edge of one so it can expand to different sectors in different biomes rather than all desert all the time.

Oh yeah, one more thing, if possible. My storage area:

x -2179
y 15
z 2109

Just that little room with all the chests would be great. Doesn't need to be underground- if you want to pop it somewhere inside my walls on the surface (or just a little inset into the ground) that'd be awesome.

My mini-Orthanc at x: 1766, z: -471 aka http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/1768/64/-468/-1/0/0 .
If possible, please copy the entire peninsula that it's on, including fencing. Also, the 3 basement rooms underneath.
Don't worry about the bridges or the city walls nearby; I'll be dismantling that stuff tonight. My son is in the tiny house close by - he can rebuild that.
Please move me at least 2000 blocks from spawn (to the east, preferably). I'd like to be in some sort of winter biome, if one is handy.
Thanks, Dark.

1) http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/-2067/64/-1273/max/0/0

Just the house, don't bother with the garden or the underground room

2) Edge of a snowy biome

Hello Dark, could I have these transported over please?

http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/-1469/64/-1709/-1/0/0
as well as
http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/-1603/64/-1686/max/0/0

I dunno, just put it somewhere nice (in other words, not in a giant hole, lit on fire, or underwater).

http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/3045/64/2733/-2/0/0
What about this guy?
It seems like he might need it.

Ok, three locations for me.

Cube with corners at:
x= -368
y= 56
z= -592

x= -363
y= 48
z= -584
A small location with some items and mobs I worked hard to get.


Cube with corners at:
x= -374
y= 63
z= -99

x= -400
y= 77
z= -66
The National Bank of Dakka, made by me and the accursed Frostoman ages ago.


Cube with corners at:
x= -1326
y= 170
z= 2015

x= -1228
y= 28
z= 2063
My true home, the Winterhold.

All of these nearby each other in a flat snowy biome, please. I'm not bothered by the distance to spawn.

This might be an odd request, but can we request structures from the pre 1.0 world? I like my old house there, but it was relentlessly torn apart as we worked on the titan pit.

Once I find it on the map, I'll get the coords for the Sanctuary and the Museum and post them here. They need to survive.

1. Pretty much the square thing half surrounded by cacti at X:-2075 Z:265. The whole hill if that is possible.

2. A similar location to my current one, desert bordering jungle if possible. Desert if not

I also make a request for Janje's Maze and the floating Cactus Statue near my house to make their way to the new server.

Location number 1: My vault co ords: x1106, y35, z1456

Location number 2: My stuff in a whole load of chests: x1113 y35 z1481

Location number 3: My castle x1082 y62 z1500

Location number 4: Village #1 x1233 y64 z1187

Location number 5: Village #2 x-9974 z-11738

Location number 6: Village #3 x-9647 z-12060

Location number 7 is the Ender Grinder, which I would like in the overworld so I can dismantle it for parts.

Location number 8: My nether portal room: x145 y75 z190 If I could have than in the over world too please so I can dismantle it aswell.

All of these places I would like to be in a Savannah biome and place it far enough away from people so I can expand a lot. The castle in the middle, with the villages closely placed around it. I would like to be far enough out so I am on the map, but not near spawn or 0,0 so maybe 2500,2500ish?

I have another two locations, everything that makes up The Echo Isles at x-10214 y40 (That is the lowest point) z1805 Could you put this one in the middle of an ocean somewhere like it is already? I also would like it very much if you copied over Disemboweler's Memorial Building too, at x-244 z 56

It is a lot of stuff, so thank you dark if you can do this!

i would like to copy my city over. X:481 Z:1181 Y:58 it has underground parts and Y:58 is the lowest block.

http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/470/64/1168/-2/0/0

I would also like to copy over my melon shack. X:448 Z:1272 Y:67 there is redstone wiring and Y:67 is the lowest block used.

http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/446/64/1279/max/0/0

i would like to be placed in a flat savanna or plains (savanna preferred) and if my melon shack could be placed near my city that would be great!

Wasn't your house that you originally copied across just a 7x7 cobble/dirt thing with a chest in it? I think at the time you'd only been on a few days, unless I'm thinking of someone else?

Or should I just have a small building copied over and have all the chests in there, to make it easier for you?

The latter is easier for me to sort out, plus think about the destination, if you just have chests out in the open, you're gonna get there and find a creeper nearby... Best to have some sort of cover for them at least.

I have no idea what you mean by "the floating cactus statue", I may be blind, but I can't see anything like that on the map near your other coords.

I assume he means this, Dark: http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/-2241/64/182/max/0/0

no, it was a small house but it had a fair few bits and bobs in there. It's mostly nostalgia.
I'll get the coordinates of the museum when I'm back from Aberystwyth for the university open day. If anyone beats me to it, I'll give you a pumpkin.

The sanctuary and museum are both there

X -383
Z -122

Everything about it. It's a glass/stone structure with its own farm inside. It extends underground for about 20-25 blocks, so the rooms underground but there's a significant chasm/tunnel network connected which I really don't care that much about, just the rooms will be fine. I'm not that fussed about where it goes, as long as it's not in the arsehole of nowhere.

Edit: There's a secret chamber within this structure that extends even further down. In the game the entrance is behind a bookcase activated by a lever if this helps, but if you could copy that bit too I'd very much appreciate it.

Also the oil-rig-like platforms at these co-ords
X -304
Z -60
Don't worry about the bridge with the train tracks jutting out from it, I can rebuild it and make a new bridge to join it too the mainland, but if you can place it somewhere in water or even lava where it'd get some interest that would be grand.

You need the coords too or will the map link do for you? And do you need map links for my stuff?

The ugly unfinished house at around x -3923; z -444, if it pleases our benign Overlord.

Yeah, I did mean that, thanks for clarifying
