I drag out and play Minecraft on my Xbox 360 every blue moon, the other day I was playing and finally got a map, it shows a mansion but when I go to the location
there is nothing there. Is this a glitch in the game or something else?

I'm not an expert, but here's my guess: the map was generated before one of the recent updates so it used the old world generation to tell you where the forest mansion was. But the location of the forest mansion wasn't generated until you got there using the new world generation, so no mansion. Just a guess. Of course, this only applies if you were playing an an older world rather than a new one.

Does curing zombies work on any zombie? Or only on zombie villagers?

Only villagers as far as I know

Damn. That's going to make it a lot harder to populate my underground lair.

If you need villagers, don't forget about the villager breeder I built in the village near spawn.

Thanks. I can get live villagers, it's just that I have to build a rail system going through two nether portals to get them to my lair. Curing a zombie in the cave would have been a lot easier.

Oh, well. At least I only have to deal with two villagers. I can have them breed once they're in my cavern.

It's not too difficult, I've found. And remember that having iron bars around a zombie villager makes them cure faster.

New update dropped! Time for FROG.

Woops yes I almost missed this, the new update is out and I have updated the server to Minecraft 1.19

Yeah it kinda snuck up on us, didn't it?

Noice. Back to exploring the northern reaches.

Looking at the current server map:

I could just build a quick and dirty extension to the east nether tunnel to get access to all of that unexplored area past my base

I'm not sure we need to be doing Nether size expansion- like, new chunks is all we need, so overworld exploration ought to be plenty.

The cinnabon mines are open. A multi-furnace is also up and running down there. If you see a lot of buckets in the output chest, feel free to use them for mopping up lava. Just toss them into the Fuel chest when they're full.

Wow has it really been a whole year since the last update? Anyway, Minecraft 1.20 is out and I have updated the server!

Ooo, I'll have to make time this weekend to pop on and see what's new. Haven't been on in awhile.

Very cool.

I've been off the game for about six months due to being angry at myself for drowning far from home and losing a bunch of enchanted diamond gear. I am now over myself though. Maybe. Till next time.

Dark's swapped over to a new map program.

This one has a LOT more functionality. It can be a little rough in the default view so switch to Flat view for better performance.

Hi Dark, Hi gang....Finally decided to come back to Minecraft....And....loving the new update.

That BlueMap looks so pretty!

Thanks for the heads up on the update! I remember the excitement of discovering new features and tweaks in Minecraft updates. It's like unwrapping a present each time. Back when I was exploring different servers, play-minecraft-servers.com was my go-to for finding the latest communities to join after an update dropped.
