Enjoy!

So I just found a stronghold, about 500 blocks out from my place.

Pretty at least. Add some torches to the inside and turn it into a home - giant glass domes optional.

problem fixed itself.

I am in need of a sword for my spider xp farm, i would try and make it myself but i have no clue how enchanting works and i rarely live long enough to make it to level 20.

i am willing to pay 10 diamonds for a diamond sword with the following enchants:
Unbreaking 5
Bane of Arthropods 5
Mending
Sweeping Edge 3

Sure, done. Unbreaking only goes up to level 3 but I put Looting 3 on it for more drops. Or would you rather a sword without looting since it's an xp farm? Because I can make that instead.

I put the sword in a chest here: https://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/-2566/64/-1421/max/Dakka%20-%20overworld/Regular

I would like the unbreaking because it is for an exp farm so i can use the exp on my mending tools.
I will pay for both as i can see a use for them.

It's already got Unbreaking 3 and is ready for farming if you haven't already picked it up.

yesterday was a crazy day and i must have had a derp moment when i read all of the enchants. The sword should be exactly what i need. I will have to test it later today. Thank you for taking the time to make it, i have your payment in the chest.

I have finally finished my automated kelp farm. It only takes up a single chunk and pretty much does its own thing. There is a way to reset the whole thing if the kelp age slows it down.

There might be a way to automate the drying process but that is beyond me.

Hey, thanks for the extra diamonds. Honestly I would have done it for 2 or 3. But maybe that's just me over valuing diamonds. I left some good tools nearby if you want them. Should help speed up your construction/deconstruction and landscaping, especially if you keep them repaired with your xp farm.

Hey guys, My account got hacked I think...I can't access my minecraft account so just notifying you guys

Can anyone recommend any good modpacks for two players?

After a huge break from Minecraft, I've started Sky Factory 3 with a friend and I'm not really enjoying it as much as Sky Factory 2

I was looking into All the Mods but my mate wants something more objective based like SF3

Sevtech ages?
Project Ozone is incredibly objective based
Blast Off is another one that's again, objective based
Into the Core as well

I am currently playing this on console; I have it on easy survival but every village I find or shortly after gets killed off by zombies.

Is there a trick to put a stop to this.. a few times I found villages deserted before even knowing they exist.

The other crap thing is how can I only be at level two have have like 3-4 creepers swarm me.

Thanks for the suggestions. My friend has alredy done Sevtech before but neither of us have done the other three. Will definitely give them a try

Dire has started doing Stoneblock, which is neat looking. Another typical Ex Nihilo-based pack, but the concept of being surrounded by stone instead of air seems neat.

I'm back, My account got hijacked by someone, and I had to go through account support to get it back, but looks fine to me....hopefully nothing happened.

Welcome!

The easiest/least resource intensive way to protect a village is to put torches inside the houses that do have villagers in and then block the doors with cobble, keeping the villagers inside stopping them straying into burning zombies at dawn.

Surviving the nights is difficult if you venture out without adequate protection. Minecraft's mob spawning mechanic does tend to spawn 2-4 of the same type of mob quite close together. Best thing is to avoid plains at night and hole up in a small cave and mine for iron to get some armor asap.

Good to hear. Glad you got it sorted

Also, don't overestimate the utility of fences. Cobblestone or wood fences are relatively cheap to make, leave your view open, and still block some of the most dangerous mobs like Creepers and baby zombies.

The Minecraft server has been updated to 1.13.2

Mostly just performance and bugfixes:
https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-java-edition-1132

Previews for 1.14 lads!

Looking forward to stuff like bamboo; would make a super easy to farm fuel source for a fully automatic furnace system.

Finally playing on the new edition (crossplay one, Bedrock?) and damn, when did Fishing become the best way to level and get enchants.

I fished up poles that got me a Unbreaking 3, Lure 3, Luck of the Sea 3, Mending pole.. and then I fished up a copy the same day.. so a rod that never loses durability, gives me xp and fishes up some damn useful stuff.

Also much prefer the new fishing mechanic, and some of the new enchants are lovely. Off to the nether soon.. just need to take twelve stacks of cobblestone so I can start another castle, tunnel network on this new world as I had on the older Xbox version of the game.

Little disappointing, but someone dug up some buried treasure right in front of my castle. https://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/2972/64/-551/max/Dakka%20-%20overworld/Regular

(It's not obvious from the map since it doesn't seem to be updated.)

Kind of a dick thing for them to do.

I had quite a few sunken ships, sunken ruins and hidden treasures looted outside my base the first day we updated the server.

I am also wondering when the map will be updated to reflect the ocean reset. My motivation to work on my base has been nil because i cannot view my progress.

That's unfortunate. What I previously liked about the Dakka MC server was that people generally used to respect boundaries unlike many MC servers, guess we've got someone who doesn't any more.

The Minecraft 1.13 update to the Overviewer (the software that generates the map) is still in progress. It is a volunteer effort and the Minecraft world format did have major changes in 1.13, so we just have to be patient unfortunately.

Does anyone know if there's any way to log on to the Dakka server from Xbox One, now that the big crossplay update has happened? Or does it not work for privately hosted servers?

I've not played Minecraft in a really long time, I assume the map has been reset since I last played?

I've had a read of the patch notes but is there anything game breaking/mechanic changing since the update where they introduced Guardians?
