i just asked if i could join the server, when i go online i will help the creeper defense and would like a place to stay until i get a base operational.
Damn i was just explorins the spleef arena when the next thing i heard was fffffffffsssssssst BOOM then i lagged out so i dont know how bad the damage is
My holidays have ended so I can really only log on on the weekends now (for the other Aussies the server does indeed lag, but at around 1-2am, for me at least, there is no lag).
I'm thinking it needs pressure plates for the doors placed on the inside of it, this way the door isn't left open tempting the Creepers anymore. As a reminder until the lighting is under control in Dakka town, or around the arena more, do not run around the outside of the arena at night or day break without checking for Creepers. All the lighting for the arena is lava, if a Creeper blows a hole in the side it's likely that there will be lava everywhere. I have however ensured that there are no trees around the arena in case of accidents so nothing should suddenly burn down because of it. Just don't plant any trees near it and it should be all good.
Is there a general universal rule regarding the height and width of the highway that has been built around the sanctuary? I'm thinking about building a raised road from my gulag winter retreat to my Summer home near the Sanctuary, but I'd like to stay away from the creepers and other vermin.
Just don't make too big a deal about it, and move on with your life after you're done. We don't need to give the admins undue stress.
Automatically Appended Next Post: As a side note, yesterday I put down about three stacks of torches around sanctuary, it should be a BIT safer. Still have to worry about the nearby buildings though, some of them are so poorly lit that creepers spawn inside of them.
Whoever is building the creeper house please destroy it! It is the sole reason why creepers are destroying the town! I found 5 creepers and killed all of them!
Edit: It seems Mels lava moat isnt just for mobs but for players >.< I was lookin for a new base site(the place had already been taken by mel) and so was lookin around and my shift key didnt work so fell straight into lava... Watch, iron sword, about 36 string, bow and 30 arrows all gone in smoke.
Edit2: Whoever made the big flaming pyramid has some repair work to do as there is now a massive hole in the top it, looks like a creeper blew it up. I only noticed this earlier.

it's my house, and the old one's being destroyed. there is a tradition of me (and my house) getting slayed because of creepers, and this is a memorial to that and the creeper menace.

You're welcome. I was playing on my laptop to see if it could handle MC with the newest updates, and it turns out that it does a pretty good job. Until the creepers see me.
Also, I don't believe I was in your fortress, just around it. There were a lot of creepers. :(
If I managed to get inside, you might want to check your borders.
The only way that could happen is if someone did it, the server is glitching and removing blocks, OR you dont have enoough light inside and creepers are spawning inside you dome.
Until the griefing stops, I may just leave my dome as is, but with more light. And there was glass missing from the very top, which points to human hands breaking it, as well as no floor blocks broken. Also, there is some sort of area built next to my dome, esentially it looks like the broke through and put a torch underwater in an air pocket

Only a player could have lured a creeper up there given that creepers do not explode on their own, either tht or a skele hit it with an arrow and it went after the skele.

My client is being a whore so I think I'll call it a night folks, good luck with the pagoda and is the map working for anyone else? It's dead for me and wolfy.
Curse the server! Was working on my new project when it decided to not record my work and have blocks disappear underneath me so i fall and crap myself thinking that im gonna die, luckily i havnt lol.
Haven't been on in awhile, trying to be good and beat my addiction... However, I may just be high from the glue I used to assemble my DE...
Anyway, if anyone needs any resources, I can make runs tommorow if you need (I WILL NOT BRING YOU UP DIAMONDS), but any other material I can provide. So long as you can give me proper compensation (maybe in the form of combat drugs, namely, Adrenalight...), I will have for you stacks of goods.
Ok so here is a pic of the pagoda, It's taken some damage recently due to creeper invasions, but most of it is repaired also I've done some landscaping since this screenshot.
Hehe, iv started a new big project thats going to have 3 lines of defence, i challenge all mobs to try get in once its finished! If they succeed my minecraft days will be over.
make a double door at the end, link it up to a redstone lever in your house and make them all stand up.
anyone attacks you, flick the switch and hit them once.
At the moment it's all just rumors and speculation; hearing that someone did something isn't the same as knowing they did it; let's go by innocent until proven guilty.
I DIDNT DO ANY GRIEFING lets get that straight yes i killed doctadeath onece by accident i was meant to hit him once to get his attention but it got laggy so i didnt see him get hit then the lag stopped he was dead so i let him kill me to get his stuff back SOMEONE BLEASE CLARIFY THIS!!!!!
well, we have a few witnesses who say you killed docta, nicked his stuff, and tried the same with johnscott10.
now, I didn't want to bring this up in an open thread but rather let it be dealt with via PM's, but oh well.
the only way I can see is either by you getting the victim(s) to post on here agreeing with you.
I wasn't there, so I don't know, but the people that were deemed your actions to be deliberate.

im getting really annoyed by this so can someone plewase pm me with details of ehat i did?
So typhus, your rationalisation is that you lagged? lag doesn't make you click enough times to kill a player. Lag doesn't cause you to pick up that player's items. And if someone dies IN THEIR HOUSE, you don't pick up his items and then try and run off with them like you did.
Oh and then trying to LURE ME outside my house. What was it, oh yes *who wants to help me with my roof?* just after you'd respawned

what thats nonsence
OK firstly it froze so i went on a but of a clicking spree and yes ok i shouldnt have i know but that was my only mistake i dinnt run upstairs i stood there and let you kill me to get your stuff back which i automaticly picked up when i killed you and as for the "luring you out" all i wanted was help with my temple if i wanted to kill you i could have just came to you can you please just accept my appology there was no real harm done.
I'm sorry typhus but thats quite a load of tripe. You were moving toward the exit when I intercepted you, and why would you hit someone in their own base anyhow, and you also tried to do it to john, rationalise that!
And why did you even pick up my items, did it occur to you that its my house, because of the THREE signs over the various entrances. Hell, I wouldn't even touch anybody's items, I've seen people die and left their items alone. So what gives YOU immunity to do that? nothing.
You hit me once, then there was a pause and then you hit me a spamload. Thats not lag.
YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT
this is really pissing me off
firstly i didnt touch john
secondly I let you kill me
thirdly yes it was friggin lag
fourth Ii came into your house to explore
If Ii tried to kill you to take your stuff i wouldnt be argueing with you right now
I really think your just looking for someone to blame the griefing on
The thing is Typhus, there is getting attention and then just attacking somebody.
Was there any mention of you speaking to me in the chat before attacking me?? No there wasnt. Usually attacking is the last thing you want to do to somebody weilding an iron sword as you found out.
Hmm, would it be awesome if I got fired over MineCraft? Not for playing it on the job mind, but rather because of some sketches I did. See, it was a slow morning yesterday so I started doodling some designs for the [redacted] that I'm hoping to start building on the server soon. Only I forgot my doodles when I ended my shift and seeing as my boss is a bitch who goes super-bitch over the tiniest of things, this might be the one.
Cross your fingers and hope for the best brook, it is all you can do short of inventing a time machine or doing a mission impossible break in to steal the doodles.

Its the Painterly pack, it involves alot clicking and going through textures as there can be many options for each one. But it nicely adds them all into a zip file so all you do is drop it in the texture pack folder.

the VOD and ice dive are written on signs outside the sanc, yak's sky-lair is right outside the sanc, mel's castle is near her house, to which a wooden path is made, wolf's boat is just outside the sanc, the arenas:
spleef is next to runer's house, which is next to yak's lair,
the main arena is on the wooden road to mel's,
the man vs beast arena is WIP, but behind the sanc towards mondo's.
Such a view, I wish I could say "I can see my house from here" but compared to the monstrosities of the other members mine is but a fly amongst jumbo jets.
While I tend to be split.
my giant honeydew, WIP creeper and the dwarven hall can be classed as art by some, whereas my tower and arena may be monstrosities to others.
For personal buildings I value aesthetics more, but with public areas I tend to go for efficient.

I'm not the only person to complain on the server, nor is it the only thing you should mention.
Watch out for the over packed-ness of the spawn point, especially Shrikes massive arena thing (that should be near his old one )

Nope no restrictions, its purely 1st come 1st served lol. If you do happen to mine into somebody elses tunnel, then dont block it off. Thats all i can say.
I would guess just not really near anyone elses building, a lot of people have large undergrounds that you could dig into, if you check the map on the dakka mc thread it should show where are are clear spaces, but if not just try walking out a little so you are still within view of dakka town but not very very close to another structure
I'm getting a glitch where part of my world is inaccessible. Any object that crosses the boundary into the glitched area freezes in place, although I can place blocks either side of it fine. Any ideas on how I might fix this?
These massive item losses seem to be only hitting specific people. Any possible reasons why? Are you closing the client and not logging out or anything off?
Due to minecraft's SMP weirdness, I lost about twenty iron blocks (corpses was carrying it) and a gold block, and gooda lost a bit more than I did in both iron and gold. Grr I say. Grr.
notch Markus Persson
We'll add Nether support to SMP in 1.6. I have no idea when 1.6 is getting released, so you might as well get used to 1.5 for a while.

haloreach4ever, why oh why did you decide to build your house RIGHT next to mine blocking the nice view I had of the lagoon? I don't understand it...the spawn area is soooo congested now, why not build your house a little bit out of the way? First Cheesepie built his giant tower thing right next to my house blocking my view on one side and now you've built your house practically bumping into mine!
Is there anything I can bribe you with (in Minecraft land) to get you to relocate your house out of the lagoon? How about a few diamonds?
Already done that with my mini-arena of doom. Found a dungeon this afternoon, and altered it just enough to make a nice arena outside it, with a redstone door with the switch in the viewing gallery.

why does everyone want to build an arena?!
we already have three!
one for man vs beast, one for man vs man and one for spleefing.
the spleef arena is nearly done (except for lots of wool after a creeper-induced lava leak), and is located next to runer's house.
the regular arena is done (except for a few bits of food and armour), located near mel's house.
and the man vs beast (AKA mob) arena is WIP, with the main thing itself having been built, but the entrance, contestant areas and the mob entrance is yet to be built, located near mondo's house.
I like them, although I think if we do have more they need to be quite some distance away from the sanc.
If anyone wants a room within walking distance of the sanc but far enough away to not be bothered by the clutter let me know, I've got a load that need owners in my new place.
Melissia wrote:Arenas are stupid and useless, we don't need any more than the ones we already have...
I don't mind, as there aren't any anti-arena rules, so you could go build a ton if you wanted. I just ask you to justify building another one first.
Guys we need a platforming arena now, also a watersports arena, minecart demolition derby*, maze, shotput, archery range, tnt bowling, creeper rodeo etc etc etc.
I agree I think we have enough now. All we'd really need is to have the mob one made out of obsidian to counter the creepers, or just make the entire floor water and we're all good.
*Don't actually ever do this one, boosters will lag the server way too much. A shame really because they're fun when you get them going, but useless unless you get zombies or skeletons in it somehow.
Lorna wrote:I want one to hunt for gun powder and stuff, hence the under ground bit.
Ive made a rail track running from near the boat in dakka town straight to my mob farm, it churns out huge amounts of loot per hour and the mob loot chest beside it usually has a lot of free for all items, all you need to do is drop a cart onto the track, push it toward a booster rail and jump in
Just use water to push them all to their death?
If they're swarming they'll swarm over it. Sounds like you need a trap around your house more than a mob farm. I just put some cacti around the house and lure them in with a bow though.
I know light can be used to lure in the passive mobs (giant pit + lots of torches = lots of feathers, pork and leather), but not sure what lures in the enemy. Google is mostly telling me that a player is bait basically.
if you are interetsed awesome. We can run it in the minecraft server we have.
it's fun, and actually makes it a game, of course. Once you are dead, you can't participate, but you an still go on the server.
my reason for having my own arena is because i want a proper gladiator style one with arrow dispenser traps around arena with pit traps mob cells connected with arena floor and numerous challenges with prizes and such

Just a cobble dome with a dungeon inside.
All I can say is you'll need a lot of redstone, spare time, sandstone and mossy cobblestone.
Also be aware that only people with access to the multiplayer server can make multiplayer maps (so you could only do it for your own personal worlds on your computer).

Wow, I leave Dakka for several months because of exams. I come back and the Minecraft thread has almost 90 pages, wow.
I've been through several worlds since I left, the last one (my favourite :[) got corrupted or something. So I started a new one and used singleplayer commands to get some of my crap back.
My new world is pretty amazing, it doesn't seem to have any of kind of 'main land' instead it's a collection of awesome islands. I've burnt all the trees off the awesomest island I could find and i'm working on building me a sandstone castle. Sandstone is alot more interesting to look at then cobblestone, smoothstone or wood. Nice material to build with.
Do you guys have a server? Wow, i'd look back through the pages to read about how that happened but i'm too lazy.
Here is the thing I learned about mob grinders tho, you really cant make a ton of them, otherwise the spawn gets all screwy.
The way they work is by building a multi tiered or huge dark area where mobs can spawn. Then you fill the surrounding area and caves with torches so mobs cant spawn there.
This forces the mobs to spawn in your grinder, so if multiple people have grinders in the same area mobs are spawning in all of them significantly cutting down on the amount each one gets.
This current one is actually a prototype, and I am planning on tearing it down (mainly cause its an eyesore) and rebuilding a much larger and better one elsewhere.
However one I get home from work I will post screenies.
There is actually quite a lot of math to how it all works, which I wont post..
However it basically comes down to this.
There can be 200 hostile mobs spawned per world at any given time.
Mobs will not spawn within 24 blocks of a character iirc.
Mobs will only spawn within 4 chunks of a player which is in a 144x144 block area.
Knowing this, If there are two mob grinders within 144 blocks of each other mobs will spawn in each of them, so half of them are wasted (assuming only one person is at one of the grinders).
Also if there is one person at location X and 9 chunks away there is a person at location Y both are capable of spawning mobs which contribute towards that 200 hostile mob limit. This is good to know for SMP because its not possible to get the same results from a mob grinder as it is on single player. Those 10000 item per hour mob grinders you see just arent possible on SMP. For my next project I am considering making a massive community mob grinder that empties into the sanctuary, that everyone can use.

Gee, I hope this wasn't me. And if it is, I hope you're flooding and sealing your mine and not the one I built.
I was digging a temporary underground lair (and started mining out for building supplies) and accidentally tunneled into someone's sprawling complex. So I blocked up my intrusion and tried to avoid the area to avoid further complications.
Oh well, if I notice that my retreat has been blocked, flooded and stripped, I'll know who to report.
If you want to mine, use my house. It's in front of mt.nickmore and melissias giunat forest. So go digging, just remember children. A torch a day, keeps the creepers away. And watch out for the spawns from the forest.

From what i've seen from Legos overview map thingy the dakka server looks great, can't wait to get in and look at all your stuff.
Can you just build wherever you want aslong as it doesn't get in anyones way, or is it more complicated then that?
I found a spider dungeon on my new world earlier, it was filled with sand and I noticed a bit of cobblestone sticking out. The chest had some saddles, buckets and a golden apple.
No idea what gold apples do. They look pretty, but do they have any other use?
As to where to build, just be considerate. If you see someone is building somewhere, or has built somewhere. Dont go off and make a massive structure right next to it and ruin their view.

as long as it isn't in anyone's way or anything, you're okay. I recommend you stay away from the sanc area, it's pretty congested.
Working on my singleplayer while I wait to be whitelisted.
I have a smallish sandstone house with two rooms so far. It looks nice but I need a good material to make the roof out of. A sandstone roof would just make it too sandy looking.
Some nice person was trying to give me a tour but the chat was very slow. I'd type something and it'd pop up on chat, like, thirty seconds later. I then got blown up by creepers whilst searching for this 'Sanctuary'. Story of my life.
