I'm kinda playing on the server again after a long break. Anyone know where to find andesite, diorite, etc.? My area is in an older part of the map I think because I've never seen any of these blocks around here. Farthest out I've been is the public mesa, but I never did much digging underground over there.

The Public Mesa was found about a month before 1.8 so I believe it wouldn't have any of the new blocks.
You might try extending one of the nether tunnels as that'd be the fastest way to find unloaded land. Though you might want to avoid North Tunnel for that since King_Pariah explored about 30,000 blocks northward an age ago.
If you want some for yourself now, I have a quarry at the far far end of south tunnel. There's a few labelled chests. Feel free to take as much as you can carry between your inventory and an enderchest. You can scoop up some of the exposed blocks from the quarry below or mine away as you please but I've already cleared the diamond ore level so it may be best to make your own quarry if you want more for your time.

I think I might remove that false end since all it was there for is to stop people from wasting the long walk just to find a quarry and nothing more, so I may just label it as a quarry. If I do ever end up building what I had planned I'll be doing it in a different area I've found.
I have a village out in the desert that has new ores near it, in quantity. Feel free to use it as a temporary base for mining. It's here and has a portal...
Cool. So the various menageries will need to get three more creatures XD

Let's just say that Mending is a godsend. I'm converting the spawners I find into Mending repair stations, which makes things rather easier. And I do still have need of a whole lot of stone, so there's that. We really need to get the rail design figured out, though- it'd make travel so much easier.
...gods but I wish the Minecarts got a little more of an overhaul. I honestly think that the Booster rails were the wrong direction to take things- they should have fixed up Furnace Cart mechanics and added in cart linking.

Well, sort of. Basically just a really simple mob grinder. The first one I found (the only one I really did work with) was a Cave Spider spawner, and I happened to have a Weaver Cleaver on me (I think it's hanging out there still) which had Bane V on it, which meant one-hit kills. Put your Mending enchanted item in your off-hand, and you can repair it rather quickly.

It's nice for combat weapons, since, for a high-damage weapon (I use axes with Smite and Sharpness V on them, respectively) it's one hit to kill- then the experience more than repairs that damage, since it's, I think, 1 durability per point of experience, and most mobs drop anywhere from 5 to 20, I think. Then, any extra goes into other stuff you're holding that you want to be repaired. Don't know about armour, of course, seeing as I don't really wear any.

I should get on and get some diamond armor and tools/sword with mending sometime... just kind of been burnt out on Minecraft lately.

Well, I happen to have 3 super enchanted suits of Diamond armour here: https://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/-274/64/260/-1/0/0 All protect 4, Unbreaking 3 and Mending, plus all the water enchantments and feather fall so you could survive a fall from the Dakka sign. Just take one off an armour stand in the entrance.
There's also a nice sword there.

I am pretty sure that accepting the gift and putting on the armour will someday have momentous consequences. Like King Arthur will return in the hour of Minecraftia's greatest need and we will all turn out to be reincarnations of his knights. Or we will become Lotet's Thousand Sons esque diamond mecha army.
I'll consider it, whenver I get over this minecraft burnout.

Would that make people want them more? Is giving them away just too easy for some people?
Now I kinda want to make a disposable dungeon, a relatively small one with a suit, sword & bow and a Wither ready to be summoned and fought as it destroys the dungeon.
Or is that going too far?

Gah. My momentous consequences arrived yesterday -- shot off a more fragile than it looked gravel platform by a ghast, into the lava below. The armour was FANTASTIC, and protected me just long enough for me to lava-swim to a nether fortress pillar and hack into it with a pick, then die on netherbrick to blaze fireballs. Just gotta try to find my stuff now, if any of it survived.
It might be a good idea to take a Potion of Fire Resistance from the alchemy tower at spawn so you can just swim to the spot you died, assuming that'd be a more direct path.
If you've lost any pieces, would you want to prove your worthiness by fighting the Wither or Ender Dragon in a new suit or would you rather just have the suit?

It's not that, I just don't really feel too much of an urge to play Minecraft at the moment.
Just feeling burnt out when it comes to MC....

I think maybe a full Boss is a bit much- perhaps find a Spawner of some sort and build the labyrinth under that? Or use a small Mob Spawner system as opposed to a dungeon block.
