Sure, I could go for resetting the End again. Get me a Dragon Egg and put it in Spawn with a "Do no touch" sign. Would be good with rebuilding those bridges as well, maybe incorporate the track into the design proper this time.

we could also do the new boat versions where we just use ice and move much quicker.

Question for y'all.

I'm looking to get back into Minecraft. Would you happen to know any mods that make the game more "dangerous?"

I really love building things in Minecraft, but it all feels a bit pointless building huge and complex defenses when there's nothing out there to get me (or anything actively hunting me for that matter.)

Sure. Go get RL Craft, which makes the game much harder and more dangerous.

Just my 2P worth:
The End feels really explored out. There is very little left to explore and most of the unique loot (Elytra) has been found and taken and there is very little left to claim. Not to mention the End Dragon Egg would be up for grabs again.
However we also have to consider the Nether updates and what we are going to do about that, so im happy to sit back and see what happens.

There's one... Ah, what's it called, that adds Myth stuff into the game, with Dragons and Cyclopes and gryphons and stuff...

Fire and Ice!

That's the one. It's actually really cool. And with the dragon and other monster lairs spread out, with really nice goodies and certain armors and weapons you can only get from them, it's also an exploration mod.

The difficulty comes with some of the more common mobs- Trolls, for example, can show up in caves and such. And Dragons are a really significant fight, since they can break blocks and are rather powerful overall.

Unsure why someone put a sign with "Building Condemed" outside the Dig Shop at spawn, but I can assure you it's not. I'm moderately proud of that build so don't tear it down, thanks!

Ok, getting back into Minecraft again. I've already played a bit this past week in singleplayer. I've never played multiplayer before, and thought I would give it a try with the Dakka server (assuming I'm approved). I've read the FAQ, but is there anything else I should know?

Just that there's a nether network on the other side of the portal at Spawn and there's another portal that instantly teleports you to the other side of the world directly beneath the place you spawn, down a nearby staircase in case you wanted to explore areas with new chunks. Old chunks won't have stuff that was made in the newer patches, like diorite, which some people prefer.

The Nether Network is important on the server. Don't mess it up.

It's designed so that there's 4 main tunnels that follow the Zero lines on the cardinal points. To put in your own portal, figure out where it is in the coordinates system in the Nether, and figure out which cardinal tunnel it'll be closest to.

So like, if you're at -974x, 1272z, you're closer to the z tunnel. So dig straight towards 0x and connect to the +z tunnel, which will take you back to the Hub.

Also, signs are important if you're guiding people to your place.

I haven't been whitelisted to the server, yet. Is there anything else I need to do beyond posting my username to the sticky thread? Or am I just out of luck? Would like to know either way.
Anyway, anyone else looking forward to the new bees update coming soon?

maybe shoot Darkinnit a PM

Yeah, he has to do it personally I think.

Sorry for the radio silence, I need to check in here more often.

I see that Minecraft 1.15 is out:
https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/buzzy-bees-out-now-in-java/

However, I'm going to wait for 1.15.1 before updating the server:
https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-1-15-1-pre-release-1

And now 1.15.1 is out:
https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-java-edition-1-15-1

The Dakka Minecraft server is updated to 1.15.1!

Maybe a slight off topic but did anyone got issues with Minecraft on PS4 after latest update, the Bedrock one?
It started with saying that 'there is no enough space on the drive' - but of course it was. After few tries the game crashed and is not working now at all.
Any suggestions how to fix or similar experience?

Its probably best to contact Playstation support or Mojang support. I don't have a PS4 so have no idea (unless someone else here does).

So the Villager trading hub is slightly broken right now, due to the updates.

Basically, all the villagers need a Work Station block matching their profession in order to restock. I did it for the Butcher that I use, and I might add them for other ones as I can, but if anyone wants to go on and do a bit more, they can.

I've updated the server to Minecraft 1.15.2

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-java-edition-1-15-2

dark, I'm not sure if anyone has any portals down the west tunnel, but I'm fine with resetting all the chunks past where the west tunnel ends at 1k, there are some portals past that, but that was also me poking around.

then to the SE I made a track to a mansion and desert I'm digging up, anything past my little hut where you can make out my cobble path can also be reset.

https://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/770/64/1175/max/Dakka%20-%20nether/Nether

If anyone has any portals past these points, speak up now, dark is thinking of resetting the nether like he did the oceans.

Isn't there a big update to the Nether coming soonish?

Yep, should be fun.

Also, I'm keeping bees now I have 10 hives and if anyone wants one or a stack of honeycombs let me know. That should help the lag at my place

If anyone wants to build a farm at spawn, I'll donate some bees.

Question: Does anybody know how to get a Minecraft Mod Launcher to work on Linux? And if yes, which one?

Windows decided to crap out on my laptop, so I had to do a changeover.

Try this.

Yes actually. Adds two new Nether biomes and associated stuff.

That is going to be a pain to get to though.

By request I've added the Vanilla Tweaks Armour Stand Posing datapack to the server. This allows you to pose armour using a book that can be obtained by visiting a shrine beneath the spawn square:



Simply step between the two armour stands there to receive the book. To use the book stand close to an armour stand you want to pose and select options from the book.

A Youtube guide is here:

Erm isn't it more? Like 2 neither forests, basalt and soulsand?

Hey everyone! Awesome to see this server is still around. Before today I hadn't logged in since about 2013 or 2014 but I thought I'd drop in and take a look around. I'm amazed that The Manor is still there and just like I remember it!

The Nether Update is nearly here!

Hi all,

So the Nether Update arrives tomorrow.
https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/updates/nether/

In true Minecraft style I'm sure the first release will be full of bugs and problems so I won't update the server immediately, but will wait to see how stable things are.

However, as this update involves a complete revamp of the Nether, I'd like to get peoples' opinions of three different options for how we handle the update:

Completely delete the entire Nether and start again

Keep main hub and tunnels (surrounding chunks will have very sheer sudden changes)

Keep the Nether as is (only unexplored chunks will contain the new features)

As MCEdit has not been updated for a few Minecraft versions now, I'm not sure how simple it is to perform option 2 - I'm looking at other methods such as WorldEdit etc.

Option 1 is easiest for me and would make the new content extremely accessible, but at the cost of losing all the existing infrastructure in the Nether. This could either inspire a fresh new tunnel network and plenty of people playing to help build it out, or could be offputting to the point that no-one bothers.

Option 3 is also easy for me, but doesn't seem very friendly to those wanting to try out the new content.

What are people's thoughts and preferences? Particularly SirRalphy who spent an ungodly amount of time creating the pig farm and all those who also dedicated immense time to making the fantastically decorated tunnels.

Edit: I found MCASelector which should hopefully make Option 2 easier if preferred

My vote is for option 2 or 3. I spent a decent amount of time on my tunnel and assisting a few others that I'd be bummed to see them go.

That said, I'm not on that much these days so I don't want to stand in the way of other people enjoying the new content if that's the overwhelming opinion.
