Given how theres 180ish pages of Minecraft related stuff, that and it being around £15(not sure of other rates).

Even then the updates are free and the vanilla game is decent in itself, until you find a bunch of mods.


[sarcasm]So no its not worth the money.[/sarcasm]

Personally I've spent hundreds of hours messing around on it, I'd say its definitely worth the money. I've owned it for over a year and I'm still not sick of it.

Okay guys I'm back, a little progress with my laptop, now having a quote on how much it'll cost to repair it, I mgith even get it over the next week before I set off again

I'm back!

The terrain won't load when I log onto the server though...

Edit: It now loads some terrain, but only a small amount. Is something wrong with the server?

Rail tunnel to from the sanctuary to biccat's and the manor is complete - just need the rails now. I've probably got enough iron, but if anyone wants to donate gold or powered rails, it'd be a big help, as I've got none myself.

Hey raptors!

I'd like to purchase the bastion of stone with diamonds. It seems that you more or less abandoned it and I have plans for this terrain and the castle. Would you like to sell it?

Hello! I have just got back from 2 weeks on holiday.

I might be able to sell it, but both Shrike and EagleArk have lodgings there.
I doubt Shrike would mind as he never visits, but as far as I know EagleArk still uses his house on the roof.

You are right that I have mostly moved out, I just use it as storage now really. I am now working on the Eyrie.

What are your plans?

When I really get back on the server, I want to build a winter retreat.

I wanted to build it following a medieval architecture. The bastion of stone is situated in a snow biome not far from my villa and it is built on a great spot. I'd love to buy it and do some work on the outlook and external architecture.

Is eagleark still playing on the server? I haven't heard of him in a while.

As far as I know he does, he has just hasn't been around recently.
I would want to have his permission before I sold off his house.

No welcome back for me :(

avatar's house is very close though, and he was fairly miffed when it was first put up, though I suppose making it more beautiful would be better than it just being there as-is (no offence raptors)

Yeh, i sort of went on holiday then never go back into minecraft, im not bothered about the bastion, but i would like one or 2 chests to stick stuff in, if thats not too much trouble.

Nether railway now goes to biccats and the manor. Thanks to biccat for the gold - this should last me for a few more stations.

Awwe, I was gonna use that plateau!

We could share? I need a home base. All I got right now is an underwater hut near spawn.

What Plateau?

The one up in the snowy biome. Almost a big block of stone, a natural bastion upthrust from the land. You can see it on the server map.

Yeah, I see it.

That's up for grabs, AFAIK

Like your Grotto?

Grrr that's visible from my villa.

You can take it but you better not build some dirt/cobble/floatingoutofnowhere eyesore.

Just out of interest is my island still there? Any one can use it for materials or lodging as i obviously dont need it.

I know, it does look a bit bad. I wasn't very good at design when I put it up, and have never found the time to rectify it.

Lamodia, I think I am prepared to sell it, but I will need to get my stuff out first. I will talk to you about prices when you are next on the server.

I'm back from... wherever it was that I went (just haven't been in a game-y mood, and was at a friend's yesterday and this morning).

Any progress reports on the manor?

EDIT: Thanks for the wool, Dread =)

I don't really do 'build', I'm more of a carver. I like that one, because it's a big chunk of stone I can hollow out, use the inside how I like.

Might make a big grand staircase going up the front, though, or a hidden piston thing, if I can ever find any slimes.

Who made the damn toilets outside the manor and neglected to replant the damn trees? Is it really too much to ask?

EDIT: Also, what is with the giant patch of fenced dirt on the manor roof? Is it even a planned project? Can we get the interior and some of the stuff that's already been started to be finished before we move on to anything else please? Interior rooms need furnishing with carpets (thanks to Dread's donation, mainly only Blue wool is needed now, and still some brown), any planned other furnishings like pictures or seats...

And can anyone tell me where the manor's reserves of redstone have vanished to, and can everyone please stop moving chests around?

I don't think you are both talking about the same place. Laodamia, your place is just off the east side of the map. The snow biome with a large block of stone is at the north of the map, up past the Manor.

Also bear in mind that the world is much larger than the map. The map is just a small segment of the full world.

I just died and dropped a load of stuff, stone tools, wood, wood slabs and some torches.



Then it crashed....

Before I had chance to pick the stuff up.

Grundz, the Manor's cobbler is no longer functioning for reasons that I cannot fathom...

someone broke one of the 4 redstone torches
make sure the lever is turned off, replace the torches, replace the block, it should work

most of the above was me.
I made the toilets because we cannot work with no facilities, it's against human rights.
replanting the trees? I had a couple of creepers jump down from them and I needed the wood.
fenced dirt is a project.
I am waiting for corpses' return before I go into interior decorations or building walls. He has the room plans.
redstone? I have no idea.
I moved the chests to the attic because that is where they will be later. I'm not gonna have a random obscure room in my manor.

I did, i've tried several combinations, but only 1 resulted in the continued passing of the dirt block; however, the piston that pushes the formed cobblestone up to be pushed across the floor isn't working.

Now I'm lost.

Anyway, raptors, how many diamonds do you want in exchange of the Bastion of Stone? PM me for your offer.

Let's talk business!
