I have a green

Let's say... 3 diamond?

Sounds fair. Have any purple wool/dyes?

Already been to The End in the prerelease, no dragons so far and quite a dull place compared to the Nether. Annoying to try to build anything though since it seems like there are literally 20-30 Enders around at anytime. So all my structures have been made of TNT so far.

Build a great big net work in the sky over badlands and sit up there with a fishing pole. It is fun to yank the mobs up and watch them fall at night! (watchout for skeletons though, when you pull them they shoot you as they get to your level!!!!)

To build make a ladder going up high enough to hurt stuff and have catwalks 1 block wide.
pics soon!

What do you mean fishing for mobs?

Quite fun and tends to become the main past time of most of my floating structures in singleplayer.
Spiders are the best for it. Though makes me miss the grappling hook mod, could do the same but it's like having a high powered fishing rod so the mobs zoom over.

other than that, me and corpses need around half a stack of iron and a hell of a lot of lapis.

Check my manor room for Lapsis I may have left some there. Also let me know if you still need the iron I can spare a stack.

I recently got white listed for the server are there any big projects that need a grunt to build things?

I might have some spare lapis...

Not really, build a house in New Dakka Town or around the place and just start to make friends. I guess the town is sort of a big project in a way.

I could most def use a grunt at castle grundz and can pay you very well (and there's a large area to build your own stuff, infinite cobble , and near infinite wood too)

You brought me to your castle but never told me what you wanted me to do to help!

I have a green disk felsi, you can use it for free.

I know. I want two, going in stereo.

Next level music disk.

I sent you a private message on the forum!

I'm always looking for anyone that'd be willing to help dig. I'm about 3/4 of the way done with hollowing out a mountain for my Mesa project, and the work'd go a whole lot faster with even just one more person helping.

Or you could hire yourself out as a pack mule- moving materials from one place to another- or a guard, helping fight off mobs- or work in the Nether. It's pretty well used, but still has the feeling of being more of a 'behind the scenes' place than anything else- might be neat to have your primary house there.

I'm sure I havea gold disc somewhere ifyou guys want that ?

you know anvil you can stiop by the start area, sit in the farm afk for a little bit and then go blow your mesa up with a zillion stacks of tnt

Someone has messed with the Nether tunnels near Frenchy Vinnies portal...
It's infested with pig zombies...

Tried that before. My inventory fills up with other stuff before I get enough TNT to even get one section down. It's honestly faster to just mine, really.

Fixed up the note blocks with a sort of dual clock. Was running off of one for a short while allowing both to be played at once or just the main one, but decided to go one step better and make it so either can be on or off at the same time.

they are neutral and can currently spawn in the light if there's no where dark for them to spawn
dig a side tunnel chamber 2 or 3 tall, dont light it up then seal it off, fixed.

Had to just go past it myself and there's randomly placed Netherrack around blocking some of the tunnels.

That's why i thought it was someone messing with it...

Someone broke more redstone and partially filled in a stairway in the manor again.

And whoever it was appears to have come back and broken some stairs in said stairway going down to the study.

since my internet's down, I've spent a lot of time on CSP. I've made three huge statues of myself, each hitting sky level (one pixel on my skin = 2 blocks by 2 blocks), a medium-sized house with lots of redstone piston work, and a near-impenetrable defence system, providing I have around 7 to 9 men at my disposal:

the attackers attack your house
you close the doorway, open the pit which falls into lava
go through any one of the escape routes to either the giant statues, cave system leading outside, or the mountaintop defence area
on the way there, the attackers face land mine traps
getting past that, a spotter says when they are in the tunnel leading to the defence series
the pistons at the end drop, revealing dispensers on levers controlled in the small trenches out front
TNT blows, dropping gravel from the roof onto your head
and once past that, there is someone above you shooting down
as well as another two either side and three in front
the one on your right can run through a tunnel to attack from the rear
the one on your left is on a steep peak and can blow the bridge up
the two in the trenches can fall back into the iron keep, as well as the fifth on the roof
they lock it down, flicking a switch to push iron over the door and windows
grab diamond gear from the chest inside and try to hold out
2 people can hide round corners and jump in as a second wave
and if it gets too much, they can retreat through the portal
going through the nether, jumping around 30 blocks into a pool of water which they can lock down by covering it
going through a solid iron tunnel with two iron doors controlled from the inside
with a dispenser and a hole which they can get to from inside the iron safehouse they have there
with beds, weapons, equipment, and food enough to last for months IRL, and a solid bedrock outer layer

I'm now going to go and make the floor open into a huge cavern filled with ghasts

Thanks for repairing my castle, Dark.

How's the planning for the Halloween party going?

Avatar, I think I am locked in something of yours.
I got lost in the nether while looking for the portal to the stronghold dread found and discovered a sort of underground complex.
I assume it is yours as there was an iron door saying:
"Avatar's Master Bedroom"
I don't know how to get out.

Corpse just got an idea for the speakers. Rather than having the switches out back have them wire up to the DJ booth properly so they have control from there.

Might be annoying to do so though.

Avatar, I have managed to find a way out.

Okay, as long as you didn't touch anything (see: didn't mine your way out).

I did have to break two pieces of nether rack to escape, in the tree farm, but I put them back.
Other than that, didn't touch anything.
