As you've been vouched for by Shrike, you're whitelisted, please read the FAQ

Well, since I have minecraft but currently no MP server, I might as well see if I can get involved with this one.

Do I need vouching for? I have been on Dakka for a while...

At any rate, how many regular players are there currently, and how far out do I have to go to find that precious unclaimed land?

Oh, and before you ask dark - I already have.

Thanks

You don't need vouching for, just let me know your Minecraft username and I'll whitelist you.

There are around 30 regular players (depending on your definition of regular) but usually up to around 10 people on at the same time at peak times (e.g. the UK/US timezone overlap). That's not to say there aren't times when it's completely dead.

You can find (and see) some unclaimed land quite close in the south-west-ish area of the map (the large forested area), but if you want to go North or East you'll probably have to head out beyond the edge of the shown map (around 1000 blocks). You can use other people's portals to get far out quickly and then it's generally a good idea to head at least 300 blocks away from anyone's large structures or bases to avoid complaints :-)

If you get lost, x:0, z:0 is the location of the sanctuary (the place near your original spawn point) and a drastic measure is to type /kill which will take you back to your last bed or the original spawn point (but you lose all your items).

yeah and dont build near my castle because it is constantly growing

//edit, im also looking for people to build houses and help out, esp if you want to go download structure planner and help with the space marine statue

Yeah, if you are just wanting to build something small to begin with, there are various "community areas" where people will give you a small section of land with some restrictions on height, depth etc

Ah, excellent - thanks.

Grundz - I'd be happy to help out, at least for a bit. Let me know what needs doing once I'm on and I'll get right onto it.

Where are you at? I'm heading south currently and have found a very "slannesh" building, I'm mildly disturbed lol

@Dark- Think you or Lego might be able to update the map and put the new one up? It's outdated and I myself used it as a reference when I first came on the server, just to find stuff built in all the areas that looked clear.

I am the large castle structure to the northeast of start, if you look at the large map you should be able to see the pink area where i started laying netherwrak
//edit on the current map it is directly east of center you'll see a pink square, zoom in on it and you should be able to see the castle, it should be the biggest structure on the server but since it has no roof its hardish to see ;P


you can also find "grundz castle" through the flaming skull near the sanc portal in the nether (to the left just after the skull)

I don't have access to update the map (it involves publishing it on the main Dakka web server) and Lego is travelling right now. So unfortunately it will have to wait I'm afraid.

Most of the major landmarks are there. If you get lost, try to use the coordinates display (F3) to find your current location then compare it with the map. The axis of the map are diagonal, i.e:
x:-1000 z:0 top left
x: 0 z: -1000 top right
x:1000 z:0 bottom right
x:0 z:1000 bottom left

can you get a map and not publish it to the server?

//edit. also dark, is there a way of moving the start location?

I've been instructed not to generate the world map, as it's a intensive process and can interfere with other more important processes on the server. Lego is the best person to do the map, as he knows how his server works. Besides, it's not urgent.

The start location can apparently be moved using a world editing program, but I'm not going to mess with the world save. The start location is ok where it is.

Okay, can I have permission to build around it a start area?

Of course. I'd recommend building something in the tunnel I made heading towards the sanc. Just try not to obscure the ork face from the map as I intended it to be a point of reference.

Also you'll be unable to edit anywhere within a 24 square block radius of the spawn point (roughly the size of the square around the orc face). But feel free to build a start area as close to it as you can (or at least better directions to the sanctuary).

well i havent died in a while but i'll bring some materials and see what i can do

IIRC there was a hill right next to it and a cobble wall that made it a pain in the ass to give directions to the sanc,

Well I made some giant arrows, but some people have still been getting lost. It might just need some signs saying to look for the building with the wood and water walls surrounding it, to help themselves to the tree farm, replant everything etc. Lots of signs with basic instructions :-)

well the grand plan was to probably rebuild around the start area and have a tunnel to the current sanc, but a 25 block radius means there's a 50 block sphere of no touch which will make life difficult

Noo, sorry, I initially typed 24 block radius, then corrected it to 24 square block, but forgot to delete "radius". The area you won't be able to edit is not much larger than the square that the orc face is on, certainly not 50 block sphere of no touch. The 24 block square of no-touch is bedrock to sky limit though.

There is a tunnel to the current sanc, with massive arrows, but I guess you'll see it when you get there. :-)

I have an idea

however best solution is still moving the sanc or moving the start location with proper supervision and backups

I think moving or improving the Sanctuary would be a better idea than messing with the spawn point location. Perhaps make a "super-sanc" that links all the way to the original (whilst avoiding Yak's floating place). As I think the current one is getting a bit cramped, but it does occupy the nice 0,0 spot.

I can make changes within the 24 block square, but any plans would have to bear in mind that new spawns arrive as high up as possible (e.g. new people would not spawn inside a building, they would spawn on the roof).

actually i would take that as an advantage then it would be easier to build higher up than at ground level (and safer)

//edit after seeing it, i think the best solution is building into the mountain that the tunnel goes through
