You know, allocating too little to a program can cause issues with that program if it actually needs those cycles/bits to function properly. It might be that you need to allocate more to MC.
There's two different servers hosted for Dakka members- This is the thread for the basic Vanilla server- there's also one for a Modpack server, but it hasn't been quite as busy lately- the modpacks have just been getting kinda bloated, and the fact they update so frequently in ways that require server resets means that the sort of years-long mega building most of the Dakka-ites seem to gravitate towards aren't really possible.

There was a great drop in interest in the vanilla server last year, but it's kind of interesting to see it steadily picking up again this year:
You can also see the modded server's jumps in interest whenever a world reset happened, followed by the gradual loss of interest once people get their stuff established.
Been playing the resonant rise modpack, in a "community" server, after the host saw the yogscast. We have over 15 people on the community, which is why I've not oft been on.
Ooh.. Why not do it on the Vanilla server? I'm sure nobody would begrudge you the red sandstone, and Redwall's not really overly-big. I'll even help, since I'm a bit of a fan.
Unless you were wanting to eventually re-create all of Mossflower and the rest of the.. everywhere from the books?
You know, there's this Minecraft server hosted (sporadically it seems) by the Museum of Science Fiction that's Star Wars themed. I don't suppose you'd be willing to replicate that sort of style over there, would you?

I want to to it in creative. It'll make it WAY easier. I can try and host a server thingy on my PC if you wanted to help a bit. But I couldn't leave it up for long periods of time is the issue there
I then used mcflash 6.1 to read the schematic which breaks it down level by level. It even tells you how many blocks you'll need. I switch the 45,442 blocks of white wool with snow blocks, because fires suck.
If you have MC edit, and it's your world, you can just download the schematic and paste it into your world. I highly recommend this option
I don't want to build it again, even in creative, there's spots on the schematic where it looks like a creeper got him, and he repaired it and didn't match the other side. and I'm still trying to figure out why he did the engines the way he did, I'll be spending some time trying to make that a useable space. he sealed off all the engines so there is no way to get to them which seems like a huge waste of space to me.
When I get the urge for another space ship, it will have to be a imperial ship. either the YE-4 gunship or a decimator so I can relive my galaxy days
Anvildude wrote: So you want to walk around inside the engines? I don't think that would be very safe...
yep, everything behind the antenna was sealed off, the engines take up 1/3 of the ships space. the schematic was really odd, he wired up 3 engines with redstone to control the lamps, but they didn't go anywhere, and they were never turned on. I've tunneled into all of them today so I can try and do a control room for the engines. Of course my idea for the engines would be a lot of pistons firing constantly and pushing some blocks back and forth along the length of the engines, and over 11 engines might be enough to crash some peoples computers from the lag
I tried to install Archimedes ships. But the dang thing crashes when i mount the ship. Kinda bummed. I was hoping to make my Jurrassic PArk even MORE awesome with boat tours and Flying machine tours.
It took 5 months to dig the 200x200 bedrock to bedrock pit and a single diamond buys you entry.
What do you get for your diamond?
You can go from level 0-30 in under 5 mins, there's an enchanting table available so you can get xp while you're enchanting.
Anvils are available now, but it wouldn't hurt to bring one just in case.
You get gold, lots of gold, with a crafting table nearby to make blocks and carry the gold out easier. you can get 32 blocks an hour.
Then there's the zombie meat, lots of it and 3 clerics ready to buy it all. So you can convert to emerald blocks. They'll probably be locked on the meat trade, but you can use some of the gold you get to reset them. or bring some emeralds to get them started.
There is an instruction/guide book above the golden door to answer most of the questions. But if your still not sure it's worth the diamond, ask me for a tour and I'll show you around the place.
Is this likely to put zombie pigmen into aggressive mode? I'm not sure of the aggro mechanics on servers but it seems that pigman aggro is universal in the nether, which could prove awkward to folks not using the farm.
Anvil! Kept getting distracted with work, new MC projects, and then MC not working for a bit.
I've actually gone back to the start of my tunnel and gotten work on the full 11x11 size, as I find it more enjoyable than just the dull 2x1 tunneling. But next time I'm on (probably sometime this week, maybe even today) I will head to the end of where I'd got to and start 11x11-ing from there.
Hah! I actually did the exact same thing. Mostly for the cobblestone, though- I've been working on my walls to get rid of some of the backlog of smoothstone I got.

Just how far have you gotten? I've tunneled out to about -2600 and haven't seen anything of yours yet.
Automatically Appended Next Post: @Asherian- If you want to connect to the Eastern Rail Tunnel, I've been getting to your place through here. There's a cave about there, and if you follow your cobblestone exploratory path down to the ravine, you should be able to find the 2x1 guide route.

Might need to find which tunnel that is.
I will would be glad to have it network into my area, but I need to make it to my liking as I am quite good redstone I could have it connect by a 'secret passage that basically opens up a new area with a flick of a switch.
Alright, I finally log in again and find half of the chests in my closet are now just completely missing and someone has decided to build some island thing above the pond I built myself. -.-
Edit: Figured out who built it, since they aren't vouched for by me anymore and not even on the server it's fine to just take apart.

Yeah you can do that.
I mean they aren't on the server anymore and are no longer vouched. Thats what I did a while ago. I unvouched someone and tore down one of their buildings because I really didn't want to deal with it.

Yeh, he was a jerk so might just tnt it after taking anything of value.

Weeelll. I happen to have a Glowstone Shop at spawn, 1 Emerald for 8 Blocks, 1 Diamond for 256 Blocks (4 stacks). Though there's only 39 stacks there right now. Someone bought most of it in one go and I had to restock. It's the Green Stall in the market at Spawn.
Sleit, you're mining out all the ores around your tunnel. I thought we were going to leave those in place for decoration?
Also, your tunnel wasn't very straight. I straightened it for you.
The good news, though, is that we're working at the same level, in the same line, and the tunnels are the same size. So they should match up real nice when we finally get them to meet!
So one of the blacksmiths I had died recently sadly he was the last villager I had that sold diamond boots. He was killed by one of my wolves. Somehow the wolf teleported through a wall and killed the villager.
Even though I had basically zombie proofed it, I hadn't though of one of my wolves teleporting through and killing the bloody poor bloke.
Can't really ask for a reset for a stupid decision so yeah, there goes my idea for setting up a diamond armor hub at spawn to sell.
Anvil, sorry -- I thought we were leaving most features in place (caverns, ravines, rivers, lava), but I either didn't realise, or forgot, that you wanted to leave ore in place. I can do it from now on though.
Are you happy with the neatening-up being done with stone bricks rather than regular stone? I like the way it looks.
Perfectly fine by me. And of course, all the ores within the tunnel are free game.
Stone bricks... you mean like replacing floor and walls and stuff? Yeah, I actually like how some of those look.
You know, I went on a little treck, and couldn't figure out where your tunnel actually ends- it seems to go on beyond where you started the embiggening process. Have you been to my side lately? (it's funny, because you had your guide channel one block lower than the tunnel floor, while I had mine one block higher- had me worried for a while about the 3 block difference, but the tunnels themselves will end up matching up.)
So Me and Anvil were thinking yesterday what to name my area as it has gotten to the point where it is ridiculously huge. And the walls and keep towers being probably the largest parts of my area.
I was trying to think of the name for the area afterwards but eh. We will figure it out.

Honestly, if you had a couple of 'specialized' armours or armour sets, I'd come by and buy.
Things like entire sets of Blast Protection (*coughCreeperFarmingCough*) or Projectile Protection or Fire Protection, for people who know what they're going to be facing but don't want to do the enchanting to get the full sets.
Or a set of Aqua Affinity Helmet and Depth Strider boots, for those doing underwater work, or Respiration and Sea Strider sets for those travelling over the water/exploring oceans. Or fancy colored sets of leather, to act as certain costumes.
Basically, the trick to a successful shop, is not to sell something people can't get, but rather to sell something that people can get, but don't want to go to the bother of getting. Like massive amounts of stone, or matched sets of enchants, or fancy banners, or potions/fish, redstone systems, etc. etc.
...Actually, that makes me think... Maybe I should hire one of the Excavation companies in town to work on the Tunnel system...
I added the new Jurassicraft Mod, 1.4. Stupid thing overwrite all my Dinos. I mean Really. There all gone now.
So I started in a new World with Archimedes Ships working.

I could do that.
But I am selling unenchanted diamond armor, bows, and quite possibly I will be selling enchanted diamond equipment along with iron weapons and armor. As iron armor is quite common, I could have it all enchanted to such a degree that you would probably want to have that gear.
If you can some how get some doges to mine yes edit: Though i need to fix my out feed since its current burning all the bone meal and keeping the free hobo armor.
Asherian, the rail line tunnel is going through the ravine near your place- The one you got to through the cave system near your purple-glassed outpost building.
It's really simple to set up and can take a lot of plants easy.
Powered by having water inside that cauldron, as in if the cauldron is empty this does nothing at all. It has like two areas, one where the melons will spawn there and the other on top of the piston. Any block changes in those two zones triggers it and powers the pistons, even something like placing a torch on top of a piston and then again when you remove it will. It has upwards facing pistons which seem like a waste but are needed to continue the power to all the pistons at the same time. The upwards facing ones would probably point back under it to farm even more plants at the same time but I realised that just after finishing and couldn't be bothered playing around with.
They're grass blocks and it had over 7 stacks in it last time I checked. I use the windwaker texture pack at the moment. It's really nice for when you kill mobs at long range cause the smoke particles are bright and purple so stand out.
Anyone who wants to take a closer look at it feel free to.
My son (Hedgieboy) semi-recently set up a shop in Dakkatown to sell potions and whatnot. Due to movig house, school, and a dozen other things, he hasn't had a chance to really do anything with it yet.A little while ago, I saw that someone on the server had went and fully stocked the store and even decorated a little. He wanted me to come here and say "THANK YOU!" to whomever it was that helped him out. Hopefully, I'll get internet access soon so that I can get back to slowly growing my little town.
That is.. really, really cool. Where'd you get it/how'd you install it? I'm not a big fan of texture packs, but I think I could handle a shader or two.

I'm actually surprised I can really. I'm using the same laptop I've been using for quite a while now. I actually need to upgrade it, then I'd get one of the high end shaders. Has a GeForce GT 330M - 2.8gb 4GB RAM Core i5 M 520
Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh I forgot where I found the other shader.
That initial pun...
But my aim for after I get a better pc is the 1 one. One of the most interesting and useful things of these shaders is how when you hold a torch it lights up the area around you nicely.
After several years of not playing, I have decided to start again. Any tips on what to do? I am not familiar with the new things, I stopped after 1.8. Should I start with the Dakka Server?
If you want. We've got a good spawn area set up now, and we're generally pretty helpful. It's pure Vanilla, though, so no map mods or anti-creeper tweaks.
Nope. Pure vanilla, if you're caught with mods that affect gameplay (that is, texture packs, visuals things aren't problematic, but stuff like maps that can show you death locations or cave systems or whatever are verboten) you'll be banned.
There is a Dakkadakka Modpack server as well, but that's a different thread, and that's the whole shebang.

As I say in the FAQ, I'm only against things that really break the spirit of the game, like speed/flying mods or x-ray/item finding mods.
Mini-maps are usually ok. I wouldn't consider death locations a huge cheat. However, I do agree that some have features that could be considered "cheaty", like making it obvious where dungeons etc can be found underground. But I don't know if I'd go as far as a ban because someone is using an overly verbose mini-map, I'd maybe just look on disapprovingly and tut. Mini-maps that only show underground locations that are already lit up are the "ethical" approach I feel. JourneyMap has a "FairPlay" version, but it's currently only for Minecraft 1.7.10 - http://journeymap.techbrew.net/download/
From what I have seen thus far mods to me are not exactly as useful either. Considering most of us know how to find diamonds pretty easily. (IE Going near lava level or getting yourself trapped in leaves and being able to see underground)
Even though those are technically exploits and glitches. I think they are completely fair. Though I remember when I just died sometimes and randomly my items would get duplicated. It was very wierd and I refused to exploit it.
Though way back and I think I showed this to darknnit I accidently made a duplication design and I accidently made over 100 stacks of powered rails.....
Exploits happen and they are incredibly funny to see.
Though why am I talking about exploits? Because mods are very similar but they are only obtainable to single players. If not everyone has them at the same time it kind of is cheap.
You guys can have regular shader mods or heaven forbid a minimap.
Plus we have enough resources at spawn to help people out too at spawn.
It's like a race where we're all using the same car. No one cares if we want to have that car a different colour or wear fancier clothes than the other racers, as long as they all perform the same.

I just use chunk mining.
There is one diamond vein in every 16x16 chunk, close to bedrock. So I just carve out a chamber at bedrock, mark out the boundaries of a 16x16 chunk and dig out 2x1 tunnels crisscrossing the chunk at various heights (Y) until I find the vein. Then I mark the chunk as cleared and move on to the next. Its labour intensive, but no more so than normal branch mining and you're guaranteed to find diamonds.
For some reason there's this one village where no matter what the settings are for me (even everything pure vanilla) my fps will drop to 0-1. Really annoying.

Have you already given darkinnit the location? Could just be a zombie army or a perpetual chicken machine or something, which are easily dealt with, but easily uncovered by darkinnit... or so I believe.
If the HoloLens can actually do stuff like this once released (and for PC) I think we can safely say Dark will truly be a god. Wherever he gazes, lightning will follow .
darkinnit wrote: Yeah, sounds like a build up of mobs somewhere. Let me know where and I can see if anything requires purging...
It improved after a while, the village had a large cave system under it so I figured a zombie army must have been under it. Exploring it later I also found a zombie spawner down there, I think under the village or not far from it. Lit it up so hopefully it'll never happen again now.

There's at least 3 iron grinders that I can think of on the server so it's probably not hard. I'd rather use it to make a airship over the village and mass drop golems into it though.
If we could just have stuff that could place blocks we could have golem factories.
Notch now lives in his shiny palace in Beverly Hills. I don't think he attended Minecon, if he did it was in secret or only back-stage as no-one has mentioned him at all.
Minecon was a load of fun and although Duckinnit was very fragile, he survived the journey home.

1.9, known as The Combat Update[1], is an upcoming update to Minecraft with no set release date. Dinnerbone has stated that many of the features he has shown for 1.9 are not “100% final”, so things may change later.[2] Dinnerbone also stated that snapshots will be starting 'soon', and at the Minecon "Behind the Scenes" panel, Searge said that snapshots will begin as soon as the new combat mechanics have been implemented, which might be in 1-2 weeks.[3]

I actually really appreciate the 2-hands mechanic- and not from a 'Dual wielding, hur!' sort of point of view, either. For one thing, the separation of swords and blocking means that my choice of a Sharpness-enchanted diamond axe as a primary weapon doesn't lose that critical functionality that a sword-as-weapon has. Secondly, I'm certain it'll make building a lot easier, being able to dig and place without swapping blocks. I wonder if the main-hand's right-click function overrides the off-hand right-click functionality? It would also mean that you'd be able to utilize an extra block when doing building projects, just a little easier than before.
Hrm. I wonder... Isn't drawing a bow a right-click action? Could you potentially 'ranger' it up by having a bow in your off-hand and a sword in your on-hand, and still be able to draw and fire the bow? I think they're allowing bows to still pull arrows from the inventory- it's just going to prefer arrows in the off-hand slot if possible.
Crossbows would be fun. As would being able to add decorative bits to tools- I'd love to be able to make an iron crossbow that menaces with spikes of obsidian.
Also, Ralpy, I've heard you're asking really high prices for Creeper Heads...
Yep, I have 1 left and it seems every time I start negotiating it's sale the buyer disappears.
I actually forgot about that sorry. I've been busy and will try to get onto the server sometime during the weekend here if you were still interested in trading.
Anyone else having trouble getting Minecraft to launch? Windows did an update, ChkDsk did something, and now neither the 'standard' launcher, nor the old one I use for my modded version, seems to be working. The launchers launch, but the game doesn't run. I think it's something to do with Java, but the game was working fine for me yesterday.

For me the launcher's running fine but when I try to join I get the following message:
"Failed to join: The authentication servers may be down for maintenance".
I think my other problem has something to do with a Windows update- it did something strange which caused a bunch of my libraries to not work properlly- Steam won't open either.
Also, I somehow lost my 1.6.4 launcher, which I needed to use for Modded- because the new launcher won't actually work right for them.

I figure, if the place is going to need to be reset for 1.9 anyways, why not get the material out of it?
At first I was wondering why you didn't just go check, then I realized if it wasn't cleared you'd be trapped with the Dragon.
They also apparently have plans to allow you to bring back the dragon in-game over and over, so a reset wouldn't be required for the "new" dragon fight either.
Just have to wait and see how the 1.9 snapshots progress.
I assume that there's potions of flight in that patch? Long ones... Or are people just going to build a bridge out to that halo? Ah wait there was something about teleporters in those patch notes (though I take it those wouldn't spawn on that already loaded main island).
Did nobody watch the Snapshot video on the previous page?
New mobs are Shulkers- blocks that open up into... things that shoot homing projectiles that do tiny bits of damage and a levitation effect that makes you float up. (then fall when it wears out).
What I was concerned about with generation was the secondary Portal that spawns when the Enderdragon is killed- that's what you use to get to the outer-islands for the first time- and I'm betting that the re-spawning of the Dragon involves the incredibly precious, already probably taken Dragon Egg.
Anyways, I think I'll see about mining away some of those pillars anyways- where's the main portal at?

around ordgars is the portal to the end. Build a haste 2 beacon to help you along.
There are 2 dragon eggs in the game, BBrotherwood and I have one, I'm not sure who has the other. If I have to I would use it to summon the dragon for us, but I really like it where it is . It will be interesting to see what this dragon breath is and if it's worth farming the dragon over.
I'm concerned about the new light sticks, so far there is no crafting recipe for them, and it doesn't look like there are many end dungeons to collect them.

I... Don't know where Ordgar's is. There's no markers in the Nether for him. Is it just near Spawn?
... Man, now I know how it used to be when people were trying to find my place.

I don't know where Ordgar is either, but there's a portal to a fortress in the North Nether Tunnel. It should be the first left tunnel, a simple cobblestone tunnel. Once you go through the portal just turn right and there's the End Portal.
Portal-wise when you are in the nether hub go through the tunnel next to the Spawn portal. The portal through the doors at the very end should lead to his base. If you are unable to find his portal through the doors then just use mine (in the room opposite the crafting area)
Yeah, that big structure in the desert used to be my base, incomplete pyramids included. I've since moved on.
I should probably destroy it or something...

Help yourself. Raze it to the ground.
Just leave the nether brick pyramid. That might a cool monument, if I can be arsed to finish it.

At the moment it involves drawing a creeper face with some clay.
What it will be come the 1.9 release is anybody's guess.

Stormwarrior I believe.
Close but the wrong storm themed player :p it currently resides in my library but should it be needed I suppose I could part ways with it as I don't want to hold anyone else back from the game
Speaking of, I think we're in need of a lot of stonebrick, as we're going to extend our rail system. Does anyone have a double chest of cobble laying around that I can help myself to? Doesn't need to be smelted.

Sure, just take some from the stone shop at spawn. I have more smelted stone so you might as well take that instead of the cobble. Just head down the ladder in the store and smash the empty chest when you're done.
I finished the mostly automated wheat farm on n0t_u's property, rather liking it. All you have to do is hit the button in the early morning once the wheat is grown. Everything else is handled by the system.
Hey everyone I will be returning to the server soon, sorry I have been gone for so long, but I have been reading alot of books, working, and designing games. (And writing a book too)

I have a fair bit of stone at the Mountain Crown storage room that you're welcome to.
That's probably because it's useless except for decoration. You can't feed it to horses or sheep or cows, can't craft it back into the 9 wheat, it's not blast resistant or affected by gravity or fireproof...

Sorry to tell you this, but unless the wiki is wrong, you can craft them into wheat again, and use it on horses (only for healing though). I'm not at my computer right now, so I can't physically make sure, but I figure the wiki is a good enough source.

Oh, and there's three secondary villages surrounding City of Ghost, do we want to do anything with them?
Was thinking we should turn them in to differently styled suburbs for City of Ghost-- a plains village, a desert village, and a treehouse vilage, perhaps?
I still think you should work on getting your Orthanc up to full scale. Don't even need to remove all the obby you've put down so far- just build up around it.
Yah, it's behind the Dakka sign, you can see the head poking out a bit. There's a couple more next to the arena and a few more at the Bean Land entrance.
They were built by one of the Dutch, JMCraft or Crafterno, maybe another of them, I forget which one.

I have upgraded my 'Chicken trenches' at Spawn. The chickens in them now lay eggs, that get put into dispensers, that fire into a pool of water that drowns them when they grow up (similar to the lava-based cooked chicken farm). The raw chicken and feathers are then item-elevatored upwards to a couple of chests by the trenches. Everything's decently prettied up, but it's not perfect- let me know before you try to change it, though, because some of the 'decoration' actually has redstone based on it.
I should probably have turned the whole thing the other way around, though, come to think of it- I wonder if I could re-direct stuff....
Anyways- free raw chicken and more feathers, to trade with the butchers at Spawn's trading hall. It's a little loud there, though at least the auto-dispensers don't fire unless they've got eggs in them.
Ye gods, I'm cringing at the thought my first encounter with a retreating skeleton with a Punch enchantment. Especially since I get lag so I can't be fancy about it.
So, I just got finished installing about a bajillion hoppers- burned through half of my stored iron blocks, and 3 trips to Ralphy's tree farm. But just about a full quarter of my inner courtyard is now set up as an ice farm. Getting so close to the point where I can start on the ice spire topper of the Mesa. It won't be much of a Mesa at that point, though. I really have no idea what I should call it otherwise, though.

Want a load of Unbreaking III, Efficiency III, Silk Touch Diamond pickaxes for the ice? Efficiency III is enough to instantly mine them and you can buy them at SirRalphy's tower. I can give you 3 stacks of emeralds to buy 14 pickaxes (unless you spend emeralds reseting the villager) which is enough to fill about 21 double chests with ice. Then if you break all of those pickaxes I'll give you 3 more stacks of emeralds and so on. I'll even give you a couple stacks of Coal Blocks to trade with the villager to reset it when it locks up if you need it, though you could bring some iron from the farm to help with resets.
For free, I want to see this finished.
I'd get them for you but I'm in the middle of no where exploring, you'll have to get my emeralds at spawn.
I'll hit you up when I need it, and I probably will need it eventually.
Emeralds aren't a super big concern- will be even less if we upgrade the spawn farms a little. I've had a ton of luck selling melons and pumpkins to the two farmers to reset their trades if necessary, and my chicken farm is actually working out pretty well- I'm approaching a stack of blocks.
I've already got a chest and a half of ice blocks, and with the number of diamond picks I've been wearing out, I have plenty of repair material- that along with a couple of silk-touch books will keep me in picks for a while yet.
I'm actually getting really, really close to finishing the stonework of the tower- what I'd actually really like now would be a ton of the new white stone, rough, so I can make the top tier out of that to have a better transition to the spire.
Yeah, the white rather than the grey. Our tunnel isn't going through any new chunks, so I've got, like, 5 blocks of it so far.
And I don't mine till breaking- I'm saving up for an Eff V mining pick right now, since I've been the Spawn Smith's best customer- the guy who sells Eff III Unb III diamond picks for 12. I've also bought about a dozen Eff II shovels off him to reset his trades so far. Gone though, oh, 4 or 5 diamond picks (down to red or less, without breaking) in the past week or so.
The ice blocks are for a spire topping the Mesa. Got a design in a creative world that looks really, really cool. Things gonna be going right up to the sky limit, I think. I'll build the walls up to a good height as well, then top them with icy battlements, and maybe do a criss-cross of flying buttresses over the courtyards, which I'll fill in with snow and ice, sculpting them into frozen gardens. This is all while I'm mining out underneath for my massive storage area, and I"ll be making my underground village ring above that. Then there's the tunnel to the railway station, the station itself, the Great Tunnel going up to Chasmholm et. al., I'm probably going to work on some sort of massive highway after that, going to the nearby fortresses and player homes, maybe figure out some sort of gatehouse setup on my walls... I might even raid another ice-spikes biome for materials to terraform all the terrain around me into ice-spikes. Hrm... Spires of ice jutting out from the base of the Mesa's walls would look cool... Then of course there's the 'natural' caverns and grottoes I want to build underneath my basement, maybe with some sort of underground stream system- probably make a cavernous mycellium mushroom forest down there further out, and maybe even create a 'test your skill' labyrinth out of obsidian waaaayy down at bedrock level, with treasures in the middle.
And that's not even thinking about the Nether side of things, or farms and automation of resource systems.
I've got a couple double chests of Diorite at my place. But you probably plan to use a dozen double chests. Well, you can have one double chest and if I like what you make with it you can have the other.
My base is in South Tunnel, a long way in. When you get to the end of south tunnel you have to make a person sized hole in the end wall to get through it and travel a few hundred blocks more to my place which is currently just storage chests and a quarry below. The diorite chest is labeled so it'll be easy to find. You could also mine some of the exposed diorite in the quarry below, you can see lots of it from the platform.
Though it seems every time I suggest to someone that they get stuff from there, they refuse the offer. The only people who thought it was worth the effort were the ones I paid with a Complete Emerald Beacon Pyramid.
Your place is directly in line with the tunnel? I'll come by, then, in a bit.
I probably won't use as much as you'd think, a double chest might cover it- I fill the centers of the columns I make with cobblestone, so there's that, and the top level that I'm cladding in Diorite is going to be hollow, rather than fully filled in with galleries like the other levels are so far. I might even use diamond ore for decoration up there. I'd also be glad to mine to replace what I use, too.
Thanks again for the support and the kind words. Hopefully this spire will look awesome both in person and on the map, in the end.
That might be nice, though I wouldn't know how you'd do it. What with the redstone torches that power the lanterns, needing to be big enough for a horse and the slab height. The whole redstone machinery thing is all arcane to me so I have no clue if it'll be easy or annoying to do for someone who knows what they're doing.
But I'm fine just breaking a hole in the wall every time. I don't make many trips between areas and the false wall is meant to deter people so they don't waste their time exploring when there's nothing on the other side. If I ever finish something on the other side of the wall I'll tear the false end down.
The false wall is at 6000 on the overworld so most expansive builders and such won't need to worry about it, I hope.
Say Ian, got any plans to rebuild the Great North Tunnel? It used to be the greatest tunnel by far but now all others have been done up so well. Plus there's that kink early on. Given it any thought? I'd be glad to help.
Gotta thank you for use of your Diorite, Lotet. Went through about a chest, but part of that was stuff I mined from the quarry myself. I'll buy you a diamond pick to repay you, shall I?
Also, the Mesa is looking glorious because of it. Gonna be able to start of the spire pretty soon-ish.

No payment required, the Diorite is just a result of me paying the Dutch to dig the quarry for stone, not something I was looking for or intend to use.
Also, you fine with me using the Ice generator thingy? Anything I need to know about it?. I may eventually have need for a lot of ice to help me make a lake since I like to make water features layer by layer so there's no drag down from missing water blocks below.
You're perfectly welcome to it. Just make sure you break all the ice blocks, including the ones at the edge- it 'repopulates' from the edges, and doesn't work without those as water sources. It also takes a while for everything to filter through, but that shouldn't be too big an issue.
If me being annoyed means you're being rude, then yes, it would be rude. Let people explore without you systematically removing the rewards of exploration.
Lotet wrote: If me being annoyed means you're being rude, then yes, it would be rude. Let people explore without you systematically removing the rewards of exploration.
well unfortunately the wings and the light sticks don't seem to be craftable, so a few of the end dungeons are going to have to be ripped down. The end is now a infinite dimension, so if you look around long enough you should find some. I was playing around on the snapshot last night, and after going 10km in a straight line I came across 3 boats. As these are probably the funnest things ever put in (see video) but they can only be repaired so many times like other armor, then become unrepairable. so you end up with a very rare item with very limited uses. For everyone like bbrotherwood who likes to fall to their death, these also work like a parachute so everyone really should have some of these, but that's just not realistic. I do feel the need to build a air craft carrier now with a cow launcher

Fine, tear them down so I don't have to walk into dozens of empty dungeons again and again and again because you need all the light rods to properly light your aircraft carrier and take all the "very rare items with very limited uses". I don't know why you asked if you're just going to do it anyway.
Howsabout a compromise? Since it's infinite, let's make it so that anything in the NorthEast (random direction), that is, East of 0,0 and North of 0,0, is free to be demolished, retrofited, harvested, whatever- and everything else is for 'free exploration'.
Or split it East/West, or North/South, whatever. You get the picture.
Alright. As long as he doesn't choose whichever direction is the easiest to get to. i.e. the direction casual explorers will likely use, if such people exist. Though that direction will get raided early regardless.

If everyone wants to mark a direction off limits, that's cool. But that just makes the problem worse really. It would be removing 1/4 of the new dungeons from being utilized though. but who would we be saving these for? Do we really need a large preserve of these new dungeons? If anyone wants to preserve a dungeon all they have to do is claim it as theirs, and leave it be. Or better yet, just claim the entire island it's floating on.
There is no easy path around the end though. It's a series of floating islands which will require lots of bridges & good some ender pearling. But with the lag issue that goes with the server, bridging is going to be dangerous work, if your 'shift' key fails it's a long drop right out of the world.

I wasn't thinking of preserving 1 quarter indefinitely, I was thinking having you super aggressively raid only 1 quarter and let other people have the rest so I don't need to walk over 50 islands to find an unraided dungeon because I didn't decide to go there immediately.
As for there being an easy direction, I was talking about the teleporter to the islands, isn't there a large area of nothingness with the Dragon arena in the middle? Well the side furthest from the teleporter exit would be the out of the way direction and the area that the teleporter appeared in would be the simplest.

OH boo hoo, Get over yourself. If you want to play in your own little world, make a single player game.
so because you don't want to do any work to find these dungeons yourself, you think I should have to have a more difficult time? If you don't want to walk over 50 islands, which would probably be the closest dungeon anyways. You might want to show some initiative and go look for one earlier rather than later.

There is no easy path around the end though. It's a series of floating islands which will require lots of bridges & good some ender pearling. But with the lag issue that goes with the server, bridging is going to be dangerous work, if your 'shift' key fails it's a long drop right out of the world.
I wasn't thinking of preserving 1 quarter indefinitely, I was thinking having you super aggressively raid only 1 quarter and let other people have the rest so I don't need to walk over 50 islands to find an unraided dungeon because I didn't decide to go there immediately.
As for there being an easy direction, I was talking about the teleporter to the islands, isn't there a large area of nothingness with the Dragon arena in the middle? Well the side furthest from the teleporter exit would be the out of the way direction and the area that the teleporter appeared in would be the simplest.
OH boo hoo, Get over yourself. If you want to play in your own little world, make a single player game.
so because you don't want to do any work to find these dungeons yourself, you think I should have to have a more difficult time? If you don't want to walk over 50 islands, which would probably be the closest dungeon anyways. You might want to show some initiative and go look for one earlier rather than later. I need to find 4 boats to improve the looks of my builds, and once the dragon dies I'm going looking for them.

Today yes, a random amount of time into the future and that's all about to change 1.9 is bring on some really interesting new toys, blocks, and other fun things
Automatically Appended Next Post: While I may be eager for 1.9 already and making a shopping list. I wonder who the early bird was that started the bridge already I had been debating this idea, but I wasn't going to build anything til I was sure the 1.9 update wouldn't replace the end with a new version of it.

Uh huh, like I said before "I don't know why you asked if you're just going to do it anyway".
Before you guys soil yourselves with these quibbles, actually get the proper verdict on the server from dark, rather than thinking what you are going to do, then getting butthurt when Dark says something else.

That was meli and me, I thought the new stuff was in so we started exploring.

Honestly he'll probably reset the end so we can generate the gates then it's first come first served like usual.

I heard a early rumor that the update for 1.9 would reset the end, so dark shouldn't need to do it. I'm just not sure what that will mean for any player structures in the end. It might actually be worth building a nice road around the main island about 2k out.
Did you two do the obsidian sculptures? those look cool.
Just a quick ask...I'm looking for eggs, or more specifically, chickens. I'm looking to start a chicken farm for supplies (feathers), and also a pair of white sheep.

And if that's not enough, I've got an egg farm set up at my place, which I haven't actually checked in probably a year. Not a chicken-spawner, just a few chickens that lay eggs. But still.
Oh my goodness, I need the mending enchantment. Now only if there was someplace to get a massive amount of xp and repair picks back up to max .... Oh ya there is, my gold farm

That's not how it's designed to work, something went wrong with the track and you arrive on the departure side from line 2. it seems the selector is not working, no matter the position it always sends you to merliones. I think we might need desubot to come take a loot at it.

Yeh I was a bit annoyed when I made that post so a bit harsh to them. Since I looked around at it a bit after making it and found out it's probably just someone made a mistake with it when adding in a new line.
The East is the one that goes to the Mesa, or the one that goes to Ralphy's?
Because if it's the one that goes to the Mesa, the whole thing needs to be shifted a block to the side- if it's going to be repaired, that might be a good time to do it.

Quick question about making filters with hoppers and such, if I name the objects does that make it like different to the normal version when it comes to the filter? Like if I make it so a stick named branch for example is pulled out would it just take sticks named branch or all sticks?
I think if you name the stack they all go together, but I'm messing with ideas for puzzle dungeons at the moment. I made a small village in my area which I planned to build a large one under, but thinking more on it I feel like it might be better to make a series of smaller puzzle dungeons spread around the region with unique items to act as keys for a final larger puzzle with a prize at the end.
Started cause I built a pokemon inspired town and wanted to have a gym, so why not have badges.
That axe if from Spawn, in a chest between the Potato and Carrots farms, it was used to increase the drop rate of vegetables. It went missing months ago and has long since been replaced.
Since durability doesn't decrease when harvesting vegetables there's no need for 2 axes. Keep it or return it, makes no difference at this point.
Setting up pixelmon to try it out. Any ideas where I could get a server going for it for not too much? Unless enough of us ask Dark nicely enough, but I think it'd be pushing it to have 3 mc servers and starbound going.
Still looks like an interesting mod to mess with and very indepth after how long it's been in development now.
I'm currently playing Pixelmon on a public server. The people are nice enough, but since there's been a huge intake of new players the rock leaders are swamped, making them slightly cranky at times. Even going so far as to coin the term 'Rock Slaves' for themselves, since every time they go on there's a line of around 10-20 people waiting for them. All in all, they fixed the lag from the new players, the players can be nice, if the rock leaders are on a shorter fuse as of late. I volunteered to help out, but they're looking for people who have been playing for longer than I have.

How do the gyms work, do they like have a set low level or something? Cause In the actual background all the gyms are at the same level they just adjust how many pokemon they use to match the amount of badges you have, the levels are a game mechanic for progression. But, really you can challenge any of the gyms in any order you want.

There is a set order on which gym you fight. IE First you face the rock gym, earn the cobble badge, and move on to Gym 2 (grass). Each gym requires you to show the previous gyms' badges as proof that you are ready to face them. Each gym also has a maximum level your Pokémon can be, for example the max for the rock gym is level 25. Each gym also has a max number of Pokémon you can use to fight them. (Starting from a 3v3 and moving onwards as you progress).
Each gym also has a board in front of it adding any extra rules (banning a certain move, etc) and shows the rules I mentioned above as well.
So my hard drive failed. This is why I'm super-glad that I do my primary Minecrafting on a server, as opposed to keeping it on my own computer. Gonna have to re-start my Minecraft Let's Play, though, so joy with that.
Trying to make a modded game where the zombies are more aggressive, spawn more often, spawn during the day, etc...
Anyone know of any mods they could suggest for that? A lot of the zombie mods Iv'e seen don't twork with pre-made maps or require some really old versions to work. Trying to host a little city-based zombie apoc game with friends and they want it to be more challenging, though they're not awful clear on how lol. We have a mod that makes it so only zombies spawn as far as hostile mobs go, and this results in some huge hordes during the nighttime, but they want more during the day, and more in general.
Thaumcraft has their Angry and Furious zombies, which are sort of Berserker zombz- the Furious ones actually grow and become more powerful as you strike them, while the Angry ones are just more aggressive.
The Baubles mod (I think) seems to add 'special' zombies which can drop treasure and stuff, and have special effects on them (though it might be Ars Magica that does that, not entirely sure)- For instance, I ran into a "Thorny Zombie", and died attacking it, because it had a high-level Thorns enchantment on it- there's also burning zombies and unholy zombies that I've run into.
None of these mods makes zombies more common, though, but if you're already setting things up so they're the only ones that spawn, that might be a good way to add some variety.
Also, Zombies (and skeletons) don't burn up in the daylight if they're wearing hats- so you could set up a Command Block to automatically equip all zombies in your world with leather helmets as soon as they spawn. Baby zombles also don't burn in daylight.

It's a plugin, the clients won't need it, and it's probably the most powerful tool I've used for mobs. It can do stuff like let mobs dig or build to get to you, have them pile up when they die to make paths for other mobs, and so on. Very configurable and versatile.
Pondering trying out IC2/BC/Iron Chests with NEI in a single player game sometime... something with decent progression and a technological focus, without the inanity that is a lot of the weirder tech mods...
Hmmm, theirs a fairly simple, lightweight tech one on feed the beast. Tech lite 2 i think its called. Also basically plug and play, so no messing about. think it might be Lite 2 or such?
Has RF power, some of its more basic than others but its not like the fill blown techworld packs with the mods that made me think i needed a engineering degree,
It's not that, I just feel some of the tech mods don't have a good progression and flow. I mean, IC2 and BC both flow naturally from vanilla minecraft. When you play them, you feel like they could be just another aspect of vanilla if MC had taken a different route.

At least, I do.
agh, yes, however this version, the lite one, me and my friend playing it had early game tech stuff up in the first few hours, and yes the late game stuff is not so easy to get however, as all late game tech should be.
the flows pretty good, and most of it can be built using earlier game resources. some of it requires advanced alloys and such but thats far later game, steel, enderium, ender metals and such are not needed for a long time.
Jet packs are fun though, and the earliest models can be built and powered by lower end tier equipment.
Suvival generators are basic but one coal/charcoal can keep one running for 30 minutes.
feel free to look trough those, full mod lists for you to peruse and choose which one you like the look of if any.

Hmm. Only the third one, of those three, had IC2 in it. Not really a tech modpack without IC2 IMO...
I'll try TechWorld.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Actually, gonna try Direwolf20's pack, as that's the most recently updated of the packs that have IC2. It has magic stuff in it but I can probably ignore htem.
not everyone's set up can handle the larger packs and despite lacking some things they have a tech focus and can be run on a lesser system. just posted them up as a just in case
Remember that Mel doesn't really like the conversion of all the Tech mods to RF. (Right? I seem to remember you had some beef with that a while back...)
