he was doing the same thing I was trying.
docm77 did a better tutorial on them:
Well Doc is a very intelligent fellow, No offense to chimneyswift but he is not the brightest bulb in a house.

You never know. Pilot pig might be a mastermind in league with demons.
Hopefully we can put on swords onto it. Like put a wooden sword on it.
Because you need a notch apple for the mojang logo.
A wither skull for skull and crossbones.
Thats kind of expensive....
I saw a new video and you can make chess pieces, and numbers as well. I tried swords and I don't think you can put them on the banners, but by the time 1.8 arrives it might be added if enough people ask for them.
I have a ton of wither skulls, I built a skeleton farm in the nether, brought some dogs there and when the dogs kill the skeletons they drop skulls If it's worth getting, it's worth farming
Oh and you just need 1 skull anyways, once you get a banner you like, you can put in a blank banner with the same original color and copy the banners.

it's only 8 blocks of gold, find a new underwater temple and collect the 8 from there. Or build a overland gold farm, or go to the nether, wall yourself in with a small window and hit a pigman. gold is easy to get even by just mining with so many other options to get it.
But its gold :(
And we don't have a gold farm set up on the server yet.

spend a hour or two mining and you'll have more than you'll need. Or the nether pigman farming. find a fortress, or any large area where they spawn, wall yourself in, hit a pigman. they'll keep coming and coming until you have more gold than you need and some cool enchanted gold armor & weapons. They'll provide gold looting swords to get more gold from them, but you do go through them quickly. It's also great for xp, just leave your good armor at home as they will destroy your gold armor after a while.
Unless you're on a pvp server, I don't see the need to make a large amount of healing potions. I only make a few before a wither fight.
Not really. I am planning on using them for beacon blocks.
Mostly due to the fact that I really need a powerful beacon in my area so I don't die while building my base.
Plus gold is also used for clocks, Golden Apples, Powered rails and weighted pressure plates,

Thats why I was quite happy when I saw My area has always been visible. As I begin to build the hall of heroes and start expanding the city limits.
ideas for all of us. We could build this quite easily.

Make a proper north exit where the 'cobblestone door' is.
Put some signs up for where your portal is if you have one that is. I couldn't find it, I took a boat from Anvildudes.
Move your farms and animal paddocks outside, you're place feels so cramped.
Release all your prisoners and let them roam free. I joke. There are only 2 kinds of village. Caged or dead. (now someone will tell me they have a free village)
Put in more ramps/ladders to gain some altitude so I can see where I'm standing. Wide open places don't need this but all your trees and walls so close together obstruct vision.
Make a big portrait off map (or on map, whichever) then put it on a map item to use as a banner for your cult. Actually if you have a design, maybe I'll do it for you.
Make a destroyed chapel to one of the other players gods near your own temple.
Got enough materials? I can knock down a mountain for you. I find progress is extremely fast when you have all the material you need, almost creative mode speed. As I saw when assisting Grey Templar or building East Tunnel. If you allow me to use the 3 pools of lava in the desert I can make stone bricks or glass as well.
Yeah. I need to do that :
Thanks for the tips the trees and farms and the wool farm I need to move outside. The pigs in my house I plan on moving and building another farm. And get rid of the one previously. I originally made it cramped because of the little amount of space I had to work with before.

How about here? http://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/-141/64/209/-1/0/0 It'd probably be big enough, is right near spawn so no hazards to reach it and isn't going to get in the way of anything else. Once my fort towers are finished I'd like to take a break from building the rest of it, so would be happy to join in a project for an exchange building at spawn, but don't want to steal the project from anyone else if they have grand plans. At the very least I can help contribute resources towards it
I am running low on resources. But I do have a ton of dark oak saplings and wood.
I can provide a little.
What I mean is I haven't gone on an expedition for a while and currently working on a project.

Having just finished Bioshock Infinite and the Burial at Sea DLC, I kinda want to build Rapture and Columbia.
I'm also fantasising about building wargaming boards for Rapture and Columbia to play In Her Majesty's Name.

I think we should build a PVP combat Arena there, not a hub for 'showrooms'. (A few weeks ago we were mooting the idea of a community arena).
Sounds like what you have in mind is something similar to Suburbia. A compact neighbourhood of complex and well decorated buildings?
Also, I'd like to bring this up again. I abandoned my original settlement, Jericho. There are a large number of vegetable animal and tree farms, a partially built village, a huge store room, nether portal link to the Nether Hub (with a rail link from Jericho to the portal, and a rail link inside the Nether from Jericho to the Cadian Gate), stables, sleeping quarters, a large partially built decorative pyramid, huge underground branch mines, a huge network of well lit but mined out caves caverns and chasms...
Seeing as I'm not using it anymore, I'm more than happy for anyone to settle in Jericho and make it their own, or it could be used as a Community settlement for anyone to use...New players etc.
They're pretty far out there. For your sake, I hope wolves can't despawn.
The only nearby portals are the Jungle Portal here and the folks around here. Top one being Desubot's Fortress and the bottom one being... Mountain Crown I think. They all have portals connected to North Tunnel.
Cheers man, thats a long way to go but I'm well stocked.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Ok, im at that exact spot now...no wolves. Need to explore the area now.
Automatically Appended Next Post: They've definitely despawned. I've wandered from one end of the biome to the other and still not seen any.
Why don't you just camp there? Clear out part of forest light it all up, and just wait for them to spawn?

I had found a pack of 4 wolves for him, he tamed 3 and slew the last, likely for insubordination.

wolf will not teleport: If the wolf has been ordered to sit[2] Exception: The wolf is likely to teleport if it is injured while sitting (it will no longer be sitting after it teleports). A dramatic example is if a wolf sitting outside is struck by lightning, in which case they will be on fire when they appear. If the wolf is in a minecart If the player is swimming or riding a boat in deep water; a wolf will only teleport as the player approaches land or shallow water one block deep (if the player travels long distances on water, whether with or without a boat the wolf(s) will not teleport upon reaching land, if they were left on a chunk that was unloaded). If there are only transparent blocks (like ice, glass) around the player If the player enters a portal and travels to the Nether or the End, instead remaining in the Overworld until the player returns. However, wolves can be transported to the Nether or End by pushing them into the portal first. If the player is flying a certain distance above the land If the wolf is tied by a lead If the player teleports If the wolf is in a confined space and cannot see the player

Luckily another person was online at the time and agreed to go to the jungle portal to force a chunk reload , at which point the wolves teleported to my location. IIRC it was Storm Warrior that helped me - thankyou!
*Cough* Wrong Storm *Cough*
But you're welcome, was interesting to travel along the north tunnel, impressive the amount of work that went into it
Secondly, a birch forest isn't exactly difficult to come by. I can't find the area that's been burned on the sever map, but what I could find were a lot of birch trees, so I don't really see the problem.
Thirdly, it's clearly a fething joke. Drop the 'I hope not' attitude.
I am not taking it seriously its a video game O.o
My profile picture is a beakie is a opening a soda can. Do you really think I am taking it seriously?

My avatar is a clothed chimp at a typewriter, but that doesn't automatically mean everything I say is a joke; that's just a coincidence.
Yes but you choose it. I mean, its a birch forest. Who cares? As long as its not my birch forest. Which I kind of like being there. I might make a tower.

That and they're an incentive not to waste Diamond Armour spelunking and a way of showing off all the gold you've collected. It'd be nice if you could make them look like training dummies and make a sort of gym (ie using brown rugs as stand ins for mats), youknow like the ones in Oblivion. The minecart movement thing would turn them into decent targets for archery.
And damn, I fething love Red Sandstone.
Yeah I saw that too, I was like Minecraft needs this in vanillia. But I realized how rare red sand is ;.;
