Now then, I need dirt, and lots of it.
Whenever I finish my sheep farm (this weekend at the earliest, maybe not even then), I'll see how much dirt I have left.

I'll need to use some for it, but I'll also get a lot more from building it as I have to excavate some hills.

I've got a couple chests left, and I have pretty much no use for it, if you want to come by the Mesa. It's on the way to the Lab- but the branch off is marked.

I'm mostly building on the Nether Ruins, so I'm making the paths three wide, three tall. Hope that's all right. Using a mix of cobble and netherbrick.

When I miscalculated the distance to the shroom biome, I decided to try and build a land bridge. It's a 1 thick drit path built on the highest possible level. It's also a huge eyesore and needs to be removed. Try as I might, I can't tear it down by hand. Dark, would you MCedit this abomination from our world?

I've actually got a double chest full of dirt, but it's unlikely that will be enough. If that's enough (doubtful) take it, otherwise I'll use it to build a new flying island.

So you want me to take the server offline, download the world, MCEdit it, reupload it and bring the server back online, all for something you made yourself? I'm afraid that's a no.

I may go have a whack at it in creative mode if I'm ever really that bored, or if someone wants a chunk of it out of the way of their build.

I had no idea it was such an involved process, so I guess I learnt something. In retrospect, a walkway for 12000 blocks was always a bit silly...

I agree. Also most of my friends use the basic texturepack, and its nice to know that they will see my creations the same way I will see them, and vice-versa. Some texturepacks can make buildings look really ugly :(

It's safe to assume we're out of iron bars (again)? I might have to actually start mining for iron again.

On another note, it's really annoying when a survival map includes a long drop into water...then scatters lilly pads all over the surface.

I've got a Zombie Spawner in my Soulforge (that's what I call the lava-filled Crevasse beneath the Mesa) but it's so close to the bedrock you can't set up a simple drop-grinder at it. Anyone have any experience with water grinder systems?

I kinda want to do something fancy with my spider spawner too- right now it's just sitting in the middle of the Mesa.

remember that mobs always swim upwards, so you can use signposts to hold single blocks of water in place and zigzag them, this will transport the mobs wherever you want them to go

That's... Unfortunate. This is why I don't use diamond if I can avoid it- too easy to lose.

And it's non-renewable, too. So good job. You've just reduced the world's diamond amounts by a good 30.

Use Iron, or stone, or gold if you must. Diamond is best used for enchanting tables, decoration and currency.

I'll give you some diamonds, Jan. Not sure how many, but you can have a few.

IDEA TIME!

We find Jan's coordinates (I'm sure it's possible)
We fill in the area he was in, forcing the game to move him to the nearest applicable space- generally on top of the obstruction.
Jan reappears on top of a safety column, and survives the burning to walk away alive.

It's a common problem when there is a gap under the portal, you get stuck in the obsidian of the base.

Ladies and gentlemen, the New Dakka Trade District and Commerce Center is up and ready for use.

The only thing missing now, is some glowstone for the ceiling lights and some nether fence to go around the back of the center itself.

How to use the Center:

1. Remove a blank sign, or a sign you already have used, and replace it with,
Your Name
Items Looking For
Quantity
Items paid out (and if feeling clever, stick a ratio down!)

Example!

Janje2
Wooden Blocks
1x Stack
Coal


2. Remove the Torch, and replace it with a redstone torch to signify a new job.

3. if accepting a job, remove the torch above it completly, be it red or normal.

4. PM the fellow next time he is online.



Pics soon to follow ^^!


Minecraft @ 2012/02/20 13:44:36


Post by: Melissia


Be sure to use the right name.

Such as "wood" for actual wooden logs, and "planks" for the derivative of logs.


Minecraft @ 2012/02/20 14:02:22


Post by: SagesStone


Could add in a system where you flick a switch to turn on a redstone torch to show that it's a new job, or if there's a new reply. Just saves on the eventual missing ones that are likely. Not that they're hard to come by.

Then I guess have an accepting wall set up the same, having each job numbered and the section for people interested in taking it on the other side where they leave their name and a basic offer. Gives both parties a little more of an idea, and I guess competition.

For the more common traded items we could work out their generic value and leave it somewhere, sort of like how the prices of shares are shown.

These ideas probably add needless complexity to it though, as usual.

So no one can tell me who owns the massive fenced off area at x: -1300 z: 90 ? Its west of the spawn, and its been untouched since day 1 of the new server.

See, now it's getting a bit "annoying" that my portal no longer works because people built up around me and put in portals, and then suddenly there's some "Trade" thing with another bloody portal right next to me. It also doesn't help that it's a hideous cube.

Can anyone help me sort my portal at some point?

It's not too difficult: take the X and Z coordinates and divide each by 8. Round down (not towards zero, down) and those are the nether coordinates you want. To be extra safe, use the Y coordinate as well (same between nether and overworld).

If your Overworld portal is at:
-158, 25, 269

then your nether portal would be at:
-20, 25, 33

As long as your portal is the only one within about 8-16 blocks of -158, 25, 269, you should connect.

Maybe instead of calling my cube hideous, you ought to keep your gob shut and sort your own bloody portal out instead of moaning and complaining about everyone else.

my Portal is EXACLTY on the co-ords. Yours is wrong. Sort it out man.... Honestly...

Nice passive aggressiveness. You never asked to build near me when you first built near me, and didn't ask this time. I apologised in game for calling it hideous, you proceeded to ignore that.

i didn't ask first because we both set up shop around the same time, and again i was a fair distance away, and as i said in game, you kept expanding till i had to move away.

This can all be solved, by fixing your own portal.

So, who's got experience making gravity grinders?

I've got a half-dozen monster spawners, and I have nothing better to do with them. I'd like at least one to be usable as an experience grinder (got two Cave Spider spawners- those are apparently the best for that) and the Zombie grinder's already operational (though buggy as all get out). I'd kinda like to put together a lava-blade as well.

I can easily set up some gravity grinders for you, just show me the spawners and I can get to work. I can make it an exp grinder for you, then, if you don't want exp, I can set up an optional lava blade that can be turned on and off.

I'll just put them in a chest next to it with a flint and steel so you can fix it when you get out.

Edit: Instead of breaking it, I noticed that there were no blocks under the portal so I put some there. Should fix it.

Just finished off converting an abandoned section of my mine into a bar at bedrock level. Sort of needs a name now, also only way really in or out is its own portal. Which is next to my one, putting it there meant I finally fixed up the area a bit so there's finally somewhat of a station there for the rail system. At the moment I'm just making it look better though.

Post by: SagesStone


I kind of like that name, beats the ones I could think up so I guess I'll go with it. Just putting the finishing touches on it, but it's open now.

Its portal is at X:10, Y:67, Z:-193 nether side, with a sign to mark it on the map as well (though that'd have to wait until the next update).
Easy enough to find as it's down the main path which the manor is on then a left right on the rail as it's at the top of the stairs to the "station".



Spoiler:


Robot "bouncer"


Robot bartender






It even has toilets.

Post by: Anvildude


And the Golems mean more and easier Iron as well, since they seem to drop a few ingots each. Though they don't die from fall damage, which means they'll be harder to 'harvest'.

Iron Golems? Screw making pretend robots when we can have real ones. I guess this also will chew into the chest full of iron i have laying around...

The upside down stair thing is a nice addition as well in my opinion. Just started using them in a few things like the couches in the bar.

So my randomly created snapshot world is interesting.



Also as an interesting note, when I did find a village it had a chest in one of the houses containing some diamond, gold ingots and an iron helmet.

Was taking screenshots of the iron golem killing mobs, but then found a video instead. It attacks by throwing its arms up and tossing them into the air a bit.

It is Yogscast so some may want to turn the volume down or be ready to mute when the "ah!"s start.

No problem! Although I think you left one behind; there's a tame wolf beside my house and it isn't Fenrir, because he's upstairs, and not the one I tamed a few days ago in the middle of nowhere, because he ran off, neither is it my initial wolf that ran off somewhere, because it won't respond to my right-clicks.

I doubt it's anyone else's either, because nobody else (AFAIK) has been here.

Lost Item Petition Form:

Valuable Items Lost:
1 Diamond
~20 Redstone Dust
6 Gold Ore
7 Gold Bars
12 Iron Bars
1 Chest
24 Iron Ore
Bucket
Iron Pickaxe

Non-valuable items lost:
Stack of cobble
Stack of dirt
Half stack of rails
5 Fences
half stack of torches
2 swords
Stone Pickaxe
13 Bread
~40 Melon Slices

Where did you lose them:
In a mine

How did you lose them:
Lagging Creeper blew me up. I saw my items scatter before my client logged me off the server for reasons unknwon before I could opt to respawn. Upon re-logging about a second or so later, I saw my items still there and chose to respawn. After reaching the place where I died (in the mine beneath my house, does not take long to reach it), I saw no evidence of the creeper explosion, nor any of my items. I arrived well within the 5 minute despawn period.

Other Notes:
I don't claim for lost items very often, on this one occasion I was jumped by a creeper after leaving the mine to store my inventory, I did not knowingly take any valuable items save for the bucket into the mine, what valuables I gathered were mined whilst inside or retrieved from the two chests I found, one of which I picked up, meaning to pick up the second on my way out.

For the one I linked he threw some dirt in and dropped cobble while working on it. For the golem one it was ingots as that's what they drop.

Also I might be a little slow, but I just realised how viable slab floors are now that the top half can be placed alone. No more floating off the floor stuff. As well as slabs making good tables now.

So, at around 2:00 EST I logged on for a little bit, just to get myself out of a cave I was wandering in. An apparently invisible creeper fell beside me and exploded. When I went back to get my stuff, I only collected a little bit of it before two more creepers went and blew up on it, nearly killing me and destroying all of it. About the only really important thing I lost was a bunch of logs and a lvl20 Enchanted gold helmet.

All I'm asking for would be 5 gold to make up for the helmet, and maybe a stack of logs. That'd be great, if anyone wants to donate, or Dark wants to check.


I'm currently working on a system of Towers radiating out from the Mesa, each at the edge of Normal view distance. They're basically meant as emergency shelters for those travelling and getting caught out at night, or with mobs after them. Fully stocked with everything you'll need to get back up to full health, if not full combat readyness.

I realised I knew how to make the double doors work without requiring you to block one door off, but halfway through pulling it apart to get to work, I realised I lacked the 2 redstone dust and 1 redstone torch needed.

If anyone near the spawn has these, I can complete it.


My house is next to the spawn's inn

I won't be on until the weekend so, Avatar, I will allow you to open my chest and take 3-5 redstone out of it (it's the one next to my nether portal, unneeded but I don't care
