Very cool!

So animals don't despawn anymore when no one is around? If you build a fence (or two layers of fence) then they'll always be there when you come back?

Also, I found the minecraft wiki changelog, which details all of the changes, but it does so only in simple sentences, is there any deeper description of some of the more recent changes to the game?

Its been a bit of a while since I played and I feel behind!

Honestly, I think it would be easier if a few of us went around and showed you some of the new stuff.

I know you JUST opened the portal to the Mushroom Biome, so I went to explore it.

I hate you Minecraft.

I've done some testing with my wool farm.

Considering the number of sheep in my farm and the time I can reasonably spend daily on MC tending to my herd of sheep, I can produce 1/2 stack of the wool of your choice per day.

This production could be increased immeasurably just by donating a handful of dyes at the beginning of the contract. I estimate that with 20 dyes at the beginning of any production, I could easily churn out one full stack of wool per day.

So, if you want me to make some rare dyed wool, try to give out some dyes to help me begin the breeding of dyed sheep with a good stock of reproductive animals. It would speed up production (and I would gladly sell my wool much cheaper for this reason).

Spoiler:

Did you see Wolf and I's Mushroom Shack?

I did see a cobble structure, but I didn't check it out.

I hate all of you

My minecraft is dead until I get a new graphics card.

Well hurry up then.

I have no dosh on my debit card until I visit the bank tomorrow, then it will probably take 3-4 days to ship.

Oh, that's not so awful then.

Well it is, but you get my point.

I have skyrim sitting on my desktop with only the tutorial section completed and the map hanging on the wall above my screen.

4-5 days is a LONG time.

Yeah ok.

I'll kill a dragon or four in dedication to you tonight maybe...

Same here, mate.

For Corpses.

Soon... Soon my heavily armoured breton necromancer will decimate the lands of the north.

Why doesn't anyone do recordings of their goings-on in Dakkacraft?

Who's building the nether railway thing?

Cause I have a long way to go, and it'd be cool if ya told me where to build this to....



Note that I have gotten further on this than this screenshot shows, as I took it while making it (and it's quite a bit longer than it looks like from this point of view-- I tried to show just how far I'll have to have it in mid air lol).

I'm building the netherrail but I can't play for a week and the red circle line is basicly done so if someone chucks the track, wall and stations down (probably dread) then we will be golden.

What are your coords mel? I'll see the nearest contact point.

-255, 64, 371 is the current end of my tunnel/bridge.

In nether?

That's yellow line... it isn't built yet...

Well where do I need to build it TO? I just want an end point so I'll be connected when it's finished.

Uh anywhere on the line x=-40 y=65

New map is just updated and since I updated Tectonicus, it now shows netherbrick and fire. As most of the nethertunnels are being built in netherbrick, you should now be able to see the network of paths in the nether more clearly:

That's odd. If you zoom in on the manor you can see where I cleared all the ground by the coast away, but if you then zoom out even one stage, it still shows the old landscape.

Same thing happens with the fires, at certain zoom levels they are visible and at some they aren't.

Seems like not every zoom level is updated.

Hey all, if you're building a road or path in the overworld, try to match it up with nearby intersections, so we can have a more grid-like system around Spawn, M'kay?

It's in the nether and is a rectangle bout as gridlike as you get.

Talkin' bout the Overworld, not the Nether. Honestly, Dakkacraft has the most organized, useful Nether I've ever seen in this game.

Heh, thanks

Hopefully dread, being the master of railways he is, will do some good work while I'm down.

Map's awesome. But we need more landmarks on it!

There appears to be something attacking me through the nether-side portal of notu's house.

Either that or I'm stuck in a loop and I'm just going to die in a portal...

Yeah it's done that for a while, there is something wrong with it and there has been since he put it up.
