Im an ender man how came down from a space ship that landed in area 62 on the server.

The idea is that when the ender men came through from another dimension all but one were mutated. Im that one.

I see.



Does your space ship have a magma cannon?

No, but it does have the capabilities to drop lava on anything beneath it and storm them with arrows.

But i actually run a wheat farm on board to keep the troops full (ender cake is a delicacy were come from.) but i am currently trying to purge minecraftia of my infected brethren.

Around the time they officially release Minecraft (19th November).

I will be copying across requested buildings, so you can start building it now. I'm doing this because I don't want people to stop building stuff "because it's all gonna go anyway". The server reset will be to get new terrain and (as I recently read on the wiki) the Strongholds, which are currently only generated between 640 and 1152 blocks from the origin. Although that may be changed in the official release of course.

How is that effected by our pre-1.8 area's? would it instead be 640 to 1152 blocks past the 1.8 boundry or something else?

They're generated as part of the terrain. So "between 640 and 1152 blocks from the origin." Which means they won't appear on the current Dakka server.

I'm not understanding? Regardless of the elevation of the terrain, you should still only need 1 layer of obsidian. Unless you're talking about the height of your wall?

there is only one layer thick of obsidian but it is 5 layers high. the wall itself is 4 layers thick (sandstone, obsidian, cobble, sandstone) and it is 10 blocks high. the inside length of each wall is roughly 100 blocks. i could try and post a picture of the pretty excell drawing i did to show the plans for grade and the sewers.

Minecraft is a fun game, but can get boring, verry, verry boring.

Its cool you can build huge things, but it gets anoying cause they all look just like blocks

Heathen! Heretic! Blasphemer! Dirty Apostate!

Yea, they do if you're that terrible at building things.

Will we lose our items on hand?

Almost positively. Making a note of what items you have will help (when the time comes, not now).

Aww... , I had a lot of stuff.
Well, guess it's cool to start from scratch, change some things up...

Im not sure exactly who to ask, but I want to build something fairly large in new dakkatown.

I know there's rules and stuff governing the style and size of buildings, but I think this would fit quite nicely up along the ridge line.

I've already built this on my server, and Im going to tweak it to make it slightly smaller.

Yes/no?

I think we are trying to keep it fairly modern day port style.

really? whats with sign that says "old english style buildings"...

I mean the front is supposed to be port style....
I think...

That is why we have a lighthouse and a coast guard tower.

Oh right. Never mind then

Prawnkus wrote:Will we lose our items on hand?

If by "on hand" you mean stuff you are carrying in your inventory, probably not. Although I will edit the inventory files to reset your spawn points to the new spawn point (just to stop people logging in on what has now become a sea bed in the middle of an ocean, or somewhere just way out in the middle of nowhere etc).

Also, when I copy buildings and structures across, I'm not going to go to the trouble of editing or removing chests, so any items in chests in buildings that are copied across will also be copied across.

Assuming the "3 strongholds per server" thing doesn't change, I say that upon the reset we should immediately form a group to find and capture one intact. Something that unique deserves a certain degree of protection IMO.

Also, since there's three, and they're at roughly equal distance apart from each other, they'd form a great base for some kind of factional/territory based conflict. Or possibly just an extended "members club" like the manor has.

I'd be in for the exploration party. Could also add a rail system between the three and use them as hubs.

As would I ! It would be a fantastic way to kick off the release

When you copy buildings, do we pick how deep you will take too (if above ground)?

Battle Brother Lucifer wrote:When you copy buildings, do we pick how deep you will take too (if above ground)?

The editor that I will use (MCEdit) makes it easy to see how deep buildings go. But you could specify a cutoff point if you want (e.g. the less underground space is copied, the more new untouched underground ores will be available). Though in general I'll try to make educated guesses about the boundaries of places.

So I found a program that works out the location of a world's strongholds based on it's seed. And I found one that spawned on the dakka server...

However, I was swiftly murdered by silverfish upon breaking into the place. It's right on the edge of new terrain/old terrain, so I don't know if it will be significantly cut off or not. I'm gonna head back there now and check it out some more.

Me and corpses went to explore it. It's pretty small and it seems it does run into old terrain and stop short. However we did find a library, though the only stuff in the chest was some paper and a book. Interesting place though.

Oh, I should add that the co-ordinates are about -880, 800. There's a portal in the nether at X: -110, Y: 72, Z: 100.

But no, I'm impressed you found one that hadn't been blocked by the existing land. I may take a look if it isn't completely demolished by this evening...

Shrike. Tell Saintkicky to look after my business 'MineTruck & Co.' while i'm gone.

I'll do it, MT.

Thankyou chowderhead. I was afraid the Dakka food business would just fall into decline.
