Of course, if that is preferred, for those like yourself who would have used up the equivalent resources. i.e. relatively new people would get less or no resources.
That is cool and i'd probably prefer to rebuild more than likely, but my resource request would be pretty much equivalent to asking for admin rights considering how many double chests full of cobble alone I know i've consumed
Actually on second thought, giving away huge vaults of inventory is not going to be a good idea.
It's far too much to keep in one place and would be too much to use in any reasonable time frame. This would just lead to said vaults being raided or griefed (or just plain creepered) and I'd rather not deal with fallout from such situations.
I will copy structures across as requested (yes that includes the Manor) and for those who don't want their buildings copied across I may give some resources (I'll decide how much later), but definitely not the strict equivalent of their current structures. If you want that much, then ask for the structure and then dismantle it for the resources.
Also remember that 1.9 brings smooth stone generators (rather than cobble generators) and with the new abandoned mines and other possible future new additions before the official release, you may be keen to get back to mining for resources anyway and won't necessarily need a huge vault.
But this is all speculation until November, so none of this is final and we'll see how it goes.
Off Topic, I am interested in Commisioning a Mob Grinder to be built for me. You will bring all your own gear, but be paid with 10 diamonds. It must also work, and be underground.
So I tested 1.9pre on a backup of the Dakka world. Same again, a new 1.8-1.9 border with steep cliffs.
1.9 seems to like to make large oceans (or maybe they want there to be an ocean between 1.8 lands and 1.9). Some of them really are 2000 blocks wide this time, travellled all the way from 3000 to 5000 before I hit land.
Saw swamps and mountains, burnt down a npc village and explored the new nether features. They've fixed the experience orbs bug by simply making you not drop them (similar to the patch I've done to our 1.8.1 world).
Endermen don't seem to make zombie noises any more (or any noises) and also seem to be more reliable at the "look then look away" attack (but it still doesn't work every time).

I have nothing built. Nothing! You would dig it all out and place the water, but still! 10 diamond!
I'm not entirely sure 10 diamond would cover the pickaxes for an appropriately sized space. A single diamond pickaxe will mine out one 30x30x2 area. Since mobs won't spawn within 24 blocks, the spawner would have to be larger than that.

I also accidentally spawned a glowstone sphere with a radius of 100 blocks on my friends server. Whoops
If we are doing a server reset, what we should do is make a server ark. Basically a large building filled with chests and materials so that we could quickly get a new base up and running.

Sadly I think you are too trusting. One place where all the resources are and no-one would suffer any thefts? No creepers would find their way in? You wouldn't see an Enderman running off with a chest?

Well, Notch said that he's nerfing Enderman block carrying. Not sure what that means, but the folks at the Minecraft Wiki have assumed it means no more picking up or placing blocks.
I don't know if there's an easy way of doing it, but allowing everyone a full inventory of whatever they've got might be a good way of transitioning to the new server, assuming we were to start over and not port whole sections of the world.
From the Brandywine portal head down the corridor past all the portals then take the last right at about the eyrie's portal. Once on that corridor follow it until you come to a T-section and take the left. Then continue down that path without turning off of it, eventually you'll come to stairs in the open then finally a small cobble room with the portal in it.
If you see the sign saying "to the ocean" or something like that, you're going the right way.
Just finished my reverse engineered dam again. Put up a wall of sand against a good area, dig to a good depth (15 tiles) and then contruct the spillways. mine are quite complex, and self sustaining if one breaks, it activates an insurgency measure, to airlock the water breaks. Then the generator kicks in.
took about a solid hour of work to do. The worst was designing the redstone generator, had to redo it 4 times. It also comes with lair, balcony and viewing area. Oh and self-destruct system if you know where to go. It takes 4 seperate actions to reveal the destruct button. I haven't tried it yet though. so backup time then I set it to blow.
Edit:
Saved it and blew it, works absoletely perfectly. The whole dam wall is compromised, and you don't even get one quarter heart of health off. This is on hard as well.
still, I may have to redo my bedroom door for the 8th time! silly thing won't activate.
Hey Dark, the server just crashed and I lost 4 stacks of torches (or 1 stack of charcoal and half a stack of planks) and about half an inventory of dirt for my new mountain.
I also come prepared for you saying that I should've saved my inventory, only a few minutes previously, I logged off so Wolf and Anvil could sleep it into day, so it saved my inventory with it, unfortunately, I didn't anticipate the server crashing a handful of minutes before the restart, and almost the second i'd gone to store my dirt after scattering a few of the torches around (it seems to have killed the vast majority of the torches I placed too, the first few I placed are still there, but the rest are gone; I thought the environment lived through crashes?) it crashed.
EDIT: Only just realised I forgot to finish the last sentence >.<

Yeah i lost a bunch of stuff as well...
I wouldn't say anything but i kinda spent a while and a lot of pixelated blood getting it...
I'm sorry... I took the sign down... Just don't kill me...
Coolyo, it's in the FAQ not to steal other people's stuff (that includes structures and buildings etc. - perhaps I should spell it out). In addition ShogunFelsi (chowderhead) told you at the time that Melissia still comes online, so you cannot claim ignorance.
However, as you've apologised and things have been repaired I will let you off with a warning. Don't do anything like that again, there are vast amounts of unclaimed space in the world, you don't need to go claiming other people's stuff.

Sometimes a crash doesn't save the last few seconds (possibly up to a minute) of world changes. This is probably where the server has crashed, but your client game hasn't noticed due to lag or similar and so continues to allow you to place blocks and use items for a short time.
Avatar, I'll replace your lost stuff next time I'm on.
Purplefood, vague "I lost stuff" comments are vague :-), PM me what you lost and when (date/time etc).
Okay guys ive been out of the minecraft loop for a while and have *Just* downloaded 1.8 (dont judge me) and now when i put in the dakka server name (web2.dakkadakka.com) it states that it cant resolve hostname, and when i chose direct connect it says failed to connect to server, unknown host.
On a similar note, if anyone has any ideas on how to make the fingers seem more pronounced and less like it's being held by a mitten, then i'm open to ideas; multi-coloured fingers are out, though.
Might just remove the iron bars tbh, it doesn't look very hammer-y with them. Maybe if spikes are introduced, i'll stick a few on.
Until then, it's been a very rushed creation, trying not to make it seem flat and boring, but also not too extravagent and detatched from what it's meant to be, but I seem to only be able to hit the ends of the extremes.
Someone has been stealing all my stacks of wood, and I've noticed that all the boats in the harbour have increased in size. So could whoever that was, please return the stacks. Its kind of very annoying.
Edit: someone also griefed the glass roofed room on the bottom of the harbour. wtf, not cool.
Creepers tend to love New Dakkatown. I had an incident outside the portal house involving 4 creeper explosions. 2 more were nearby but didn't participate in the fun.
On a related note, there's a 'shortcut' from my portal and sanc to New Dakka (OK, I ran into the sanc hallway). This is just a 45 degree hall that makes the trip a bit shorter. If anyone wants to add stone bricks to make it more secure or glass blocks to make it more scenic, please feel free.
It ruined the view from my local Church, and they filed with the council who discovered a complete lack of planning permission and thus ordered it torn down.
Luckily, a large band of travellers is now moving in on that spot.
I think the most likely scenario is just setting up communities with building restrictions like we do now. No point putting stuff like that on the whole server.
With the reset, I think there should be some requirements. First off, the very first thing that everyone has to do is make a good spawn area- this includes light, walls, supply stuff- maybe a small farm or something. That's got to be the priority for everyone before we all go haring off to do our own thing.
Second, if you go haring off to do your own thing, mark your path back to Spawn. Whether Nether Tunnels and paired portals, or cobble/wood roads, or carving a straight line through everything in a certain direction, whatever. Spawn should be a central hub to everything else, and easy to navigate, even if nothing else is.
When the Nether Rail gets set up again, it should be easier to navigate, even if someone doesn't have a minecart. Each station should say which side goes towards and away from Sanctuary Station/the main entrance in Nether spawn- and also, there should be doors to the outside, so a Netherside community or town can be set up, rather than just using the Nether for travel.
Now obviously I can't enforce these, and I'm putting them here more as ideas. I just hope people read them and think they'd be useful, even if only as precepts to build their own building behaviour off of.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record... :-)
darkinnit wrote:I would copy structures and buildings to the new world as requested (I'll set up some request system closer to the time, don't start requesting now or flooding this thread - I will ignore them).
I will probably cover that in my request system (at the moment it looks like I will just make a new thread for it).
As oceans may (and probably will) appear where there previously was land, I won't be able to put structures in their exact locations in a new world. But that doesn't really matter too much as most people chose the locations for their stuff for the surrounding land, not for the x or z coordinates. (This has the downside that the nether will be impossible to match up, so I will have to just help you all rebuild the nether from scratch).
I'll give people the choices for their building(s):
"Try to match existing land/biome"
"I want my building in a #### biome"
"I don't care, surprise me!"
It is very easy to copy just the building. This is how I restored the Manor when it was burned. I won't copy existing surrounding area unless it is part of the structure itself (e.g. people who have bases embedded or hidden in mountains).
If I copy just the structures, it means the land beneath your buildings will be fresh and full of ore (this is a good thing, right?)
However, as I keep saying, the official release is not till November 19th. So anything could happen between now and then that means we should rethink the plans. For example, what if he adds support for multiple worlds with the addition of the floating islands world? If that were the case we could just leave everything as is.
I wouldn't mind the Mesa being copied over- maybe stuck into a proper mountain this time, though- although Snow Biomes are nice too...
But regardless, I definitely want to at least keep or have a stack of snow blocks. I've got half a small chest, and all I'd really need is a pumpkin and 2 snow blocks to get a ton- with a snowman...

Just checked. My house got creeper'd and theres a few things missing from my chests, but nothing too serious. When I get my comp back up and running I'll rejoin the town, but Minecraft runs like soft doodoo on my roommates Mac
I was hoping to get some work done on my automated melon farm last night, but the server was down for several hours and never rebooted. Darkinnit has apparently solved the problem.
Yeah, a voice chat server would be up to LegoBurner not me. But there are plenty of alternatives, Skype (as mentioned) and Google Talk spring to mind, and all their competitors too.
Heres my international 'MineTruck & Co.' Headquarters. For food supplies and agriculture etc. The logo can be seen on the tower as an 'M'. The Headquarters is on an island near the Port in New Dakkatown.
The course is called game design, development and theory. We're using minecraft as a level editor, which we import onto UDK to make it prettier. Basically we have unlimited amounts of all materials, and its up to us what we make, and we're graded on creativity.
And I love bulding pyramids too. Rather peaceful, knowing exactly how it goes together. I'm doing a full-scale (230x230) Great Pyramid on one of my SSP maps.
I've decided to look after/manage the Dakkatown mob trap too, anti-enderman it, and clean the machine up a bit. The previous owner hasn't been on in months according the Shrike.

One of the problems is that the sticky pistons occasionally stop being sticky...
that is the purpose of the repeater directly next to the sticky repeater, if it is set to zero delay sometimes the piston will "let go" of the glass block and break it, this is because the cobbler fires faster than 1 tic now with invertors.
Only outputting 1 cobble makes me sad but i guess it beats the alternative (making the ceiling above the cobble contain lava )
Grundz wrote:that is the purpose of the repeater directly next to the sticky repeater, if it is set to zero delay sometimes the piston will "let go" of the glass block and break it
Ah, I'll edit that next time I'm on then. I've not seen the glass get broken, just "released".
I like the way you're thinking, unfortunately if it's pushing the blocks down, it would be more tamper-friendly, as when it breaks down, someone could just "jump and place a block below" up into the mechanism, even if it was just a one block gap.
Currently there is no way to walk through a one block gap horizontally (at least not until Ender Pearls work in SMP...)
Automatically Appended Next Post: Heh this thread is also running faster than we are replying :-P
The mob trap at the spawn is complete and working. Your melon farm was still a-ok last time I looked.
dark: if you hop up the cobble shaft you will eventually reach the lava which will be closing the gap above your head (making the assumption that the entire thing is padded with obsidium //edit BEDROCK i mean
from there your option is to try and jump through and get suffocated by cobble or burn to death in cobble, the worse someone could do it break the glass block (maybe, if the server is lagging and the cobble doesn't reload fast enough)
Yep, i mean if we are a real jerk we could put a side cavern with flowing water that will drop someone into a bedrock box should they be wanting to tamper with things that badly.
When new server is closer, can I make the new start area in Single player creative and have it imported rather than have you do the grunt work for me?
Grundz wrote:can I make the new start area in Single player creative and have it imported rather than have you do the grunt work for me?
Trouble is if I did that I'd then be flooded with requests of other people wanting to bring their SSP creations in "just like that". I appreciate your enthusiasm but I'd like to draw the line at post-build bedrock protection for the spawn point stuff only.

I do believe that's the sky-land (IIRC), and those towers, I have no idea, but I'm guessing they're just decorative pillars, maybe with a similar density as stone.

Yeah, if you are far enough away from other people not to blow up their stuff, then explosives work well.
Precesely how big are we talking about here? 'cause for anything less than 64x64, just getting a couple people to help, with Iron picks, should be enough to get it done in a session. Other than that, sheer perseverence. Don't get distracted by anything other than food gathering- I'd suggest putting together a small wheat and/or melon farm nearby- just a few squares, let them grow naturally. Also cut down and plant some trees, you're gonna need a ton of chests.
Trust me on this. I'm practically a proffessional at digging large holes. Just check out the Mesa if you want proof. All done with a stone pick.
Mondo, there's been an incident at your mob farm, where a creeper has blown a hole in the outer casing(Prior to a defect in the exit/creeper spawned in cave beneath) me and Shrike are attempting to repair it. Shrike, while trying to obtain his items, has blown holes in other parts of the system, but we promise to supply materials/repair the mobfarm as soon as possible. We are very sorry about the damage caused.

I'm up for it, it's fun to make them and after watching the skyward sword trailer and remembering the bioshock infinity one I have some ideas for it.
I have automated it to automatically restart after most crashes and if the server hangs, to wait 15 minutes before forcing a restart. So you should only PM me about it if it is down for more than 15 minutes. However, there's nothing I can do when Minecraft.net's authentication servers are down (like last night), you just have to wait for the Mojang guys to fix it when that happens.
i thinking (marzipan309) of building a sky city and im open to ideas. Already started a kind of lobby bit but need more materials mostly wood. The tower can be found near my house at the sanc near to chompy158s house.

Anyone that wants Cobble, just come by the Mesa, at -500x, -900z. Or the Frozen Lake side-path just past the Manor station on the route to the Temple of Chaos. Come in the front door, and turn to your right. Those chests are full of free materials.

I'd be happy to donate the iron for ordinary rails, but I can't provide powered rails. I kinda used all my gold and I've been blowing through redstone like nobody's business. Also, feel free to use my shortcut through the nether for the rail system.
However, my automated melon farm is coming along nicely. When it's full, it can produce several stacks of watermelon slices at the flip of a switch. Unfortunately, you'll have to walk around and gather all the slices yourself. I didn't design the system for water collection, unfortunately.

Basically a normal town, but kind of like domes for the buildings perhaps. Linked together by small tunnels to run a rail system.
And then after we blew that up we all went round to the manor for a sweet party. Music and mushroom ale were in abundance. Thankfully no pictures exist of that particular event.
Tell you what wolf, leave it in the manor somewhere I can find it. I'll give the route some thought next time I'm on. It can't go in the diagonal tunnel very easily, as you can't do powered rails on a curve. I'll probably connect it up to the Eyrie station, as that's right next to the original path there.

I haven't decided yet, however when/if server changes over, i want to cordon off and begin a huge temple of terra, as my current palace has shown it is exceedingly difficult to do with the current height box, so i was thinking of lowering all the land around it so I have a full range to play with.
Right In the last few days someone has been in my lodge replaced loads of wood and cobble with dirt broken lots of fences and take 4 diamonds.
I want to know who had done this!

I know people use my portal sometimes, but please don't mess with my stuff.
When/if the server is redone for the release of MC, I probably wont even bother with a portal in my area. Maybe near it, but enough away to annoy petty thieves.
Then again I rarely have anything worth stealing, seeing as I never bother mining down!

really, the best thing you can do is make an elaborate trap room full of empty chests, then place your real goods at a location that you write down the coords and it sits in a few-deep hole at a set location that is unlikely to be creepered
Thats what I do and ive never had anything that ive noticed stolen, ever for the most part.
Or, just have it behind a wall that's exactly like all the other walls, and can easily be mined and replaced- like cobble, or dirt or sandstone. If they don't think there's a chest there, they won't go looking for one.
I usually keep my valuables with me/concealed in a hidden chest. Seems like a silly idea to bring them with you, but I can afford to remake a few tools after visiting the community mine for a bit.
And this is why I only play MP with friends on a hamachi server with password. If they grief I can go over to their house and give them a slap in the face.
-Though- that said, making traps is pretty damn entertaining.

Do this basically. Each house for me gets a slightly newer and larger puzzle to get to the actual valuables. Coupled with my house not having a portal but having one within an alright walking distance has led to me never having anything stolen from my valuables chest. which of course is moved for extra paranoia fun.
The plans for the manor are on paper so pm'ing you them would be challenging, next time you are on MC shoot me a message on steam and we can go put down the interior walls and label the rooms so we all know what needs doing where.
i have given up on my city in the desert, even after much toiling and some bonus materials i am barely more than 1/4 done with my wall and i cannot forsee its completion by the reset.
what i have been doing is flying around in single player on the same seed the server is on looking for interesting spots that could still be there when the server is reset.
Deathklaat wrote:what i have been doing is flying around in single player on the same seed the server is on looking for interesting spots that could still be there when the server is reset.
Unfortunately the very good idea doesn't work, I tried it and sadly since the server runs on two versions of world generation it is almost impossible to recreate the dakka world.
Diddleshot wrote:Me and The_Dreadnote removed the wreckage of a tower that was in the centre of dakkatown. The skyline is a much happier place now.
If you mean Forbes' shattered tower, then I will miss it. I thought it looked cool, like an explosion on pause. Much better than the various cobble monoliths that litter dakka town.
As for trying the DAKKA seed, it will work. You just have to remember that anything within about 2000 blocks or so on the Dakka server was generated pre 1.8. If you fly out to say where the docks are, things should start to match up. If you're trying 1.9pre3, things may have shifted with the new 1.9 biome code. However, when I compared the spawn area in 1.8 to the spawn area in 1.9pre2, there wasn't much difference. Not sure if the differences get larger the further out you go.
@ Dethklaat: You're doing a desert city? Why didn't you say so? I'd be willing to help out with that- and I have plenty of cobble to donate, if that's what you need.

Make sure you're using the seed "DAKKA". That's what the server uses. Other than that, no idea why it wouldn't be working.

Guys, if your sky tower is the beginning of your "sky city" then I'm afraid you have to move it.
It's far too close to dakka town. You have to realise that any land you build up there casts shadow on the ground below and means mobs (and creepers) spawn during the day. Try building it over a sea or ocean where no-one will mind.
chompy158 wrote:oh no we just finished the area
what if we lit the place up
would that be ok?
It's not just about the lighting. It's about people who already have buildings there who probably do not want a large floating island over them (or even just that close). The dakka town is crowded as it is and the world is almost infinitely large, there are plenty of other places it could go.

Thats the trade off, you get many more people to play with, but you have to run the risk of your stuff possibly being stolen until you ask dark for it back if you don't take proper precautions.
a mostly open community is bound to have minor issues like this
This is the Dakkatown mobfarm complete; there are two silos, the top of silo 2, (On the left seen here) is for passive mobs such as pigs, chickens, sheep, and cows. There is a constant flow of items, and I recommend coming down sometime for some free mob loot and supplies

It can't go in the diagonal tunnel very easily, as you can't do powered rails on a curve. I'll probably connect it up to the Eyrie station, as that's right next to the original path there.
Everyone, my friend was playing on the dakka server while I was away. If anyone finds anything missing, let me know straight away and I will see if its in one of my chests. He took the gold from my pagoda and some of the glowstone and moved it, and I hope thats all he did. However, if anyone is missing anything big, if I somehow have that much I'll give it to ya.
There is another mobfarm already in the spawn that I believe dark made. I haven't seen it yet, but that's the people who spawn there sorted. The large one in the image is pretty much big enough to see, and is free for all of you guys, if you ever need bones, arrows, or want to make TNT etc.
Because I forgot my house's co-ords, and it is also a hollowed out hill, I went to check if you were talking about my house BBL.
It was not, although I did discover that someone had tampered with the nether-side doors.
EDIT: And by tampered with, I mean removed one lot of redstone wiring.
FFS, i'm getting sick and tired of wasting redstone, because it ultimately just leads to it getting stolen. I've lost about a total of 3 stacks due to various thefts, and it's starting to get ridiculous.
EDIT2: Also reporting a stolen diamond pick. Again.
