We need 4.2k odd dirt if we don't use a silktouch pick...

That last server shutdown inexplicably reverted about 6 or so hours of changes. Everything is the way it was when I first logged on.

Why did this happen?

Just does sometimes, if you lost anything major take note of the most recent time it was ok and ask dark if he can reset your inventory or just replace what was lost.

Its so crazy.

Sometimes though it gives you more stuff... like arrows... I have too many arrows...

I noticed the end is now on the map, has anyone been there yet?

I've heard no...

More eyes are needed.

We still using wolfs portal as the primary end gate?

dunno

It's the closest to the spawn and will be on the railway line so I'm guessing it's the easiest to use.

How is the railway coming?

Well shoot, I got about 10 Ender Pearls that I'll donate to the cause. Also a ton of spider string, so we could make big banks of dispensers to hold off the Endermen.

Also, there's two Blaze Spawners on the route to the Mesa if anyone needs Blaze Rods, or would like to make grinders for them.

In the end water instantly kills endermen and can't be destroyed by the enderdragon.

I also may need some help at some point. The sort of large cobble floor some may have seen in the nether near my portal is to be a gold grinder like the one Grundz has made, but a fair bit closer to spawn and likely much smaller. The reason I may need help is I just had the idea to add pistons into it to speed up the grinding, no idea how many I'll need yet but I may not have enough to make them all. Once it's up and working however, feel free to use it as it's to be a public grinder.

Figured everyone has one I may as well make one too.

Uhhh... no it doesn't. Not six hours of changes.
Absolutionis do you mean six hours of inventory, or six hours of world edits (i.e. building, blocks etc)?

Somebody must have been there for the End to be generated. If you click on the spawn icon on the overworld map, you can see it lists the number of blocks, along with:

End Portal Frame 36
EnderPortal 9

This means there are three End Portals in the area shown by the map, and one has been lit.

Thanks to the mine shaft I found I how have 4 and a half stacks of rails for the rail system in the nether to go along with the half stack of powered rails I have ready if they're needed.

So...
This is new to me.

I may be exaggerating the six hours bit, but I casually dug a tunnel over the course of a few hours and constructed a tunnel underwater, and then filled it with dirt to remove the water.
The server shut down under its normal procedure and took an unusually long time to get back up. When I had logged back, all my work had been undone and all the materials I had used in the construction were back in my chests. My inventory was the same as it was when the server went offline, but the world went back in time.

My friend xLeiahx also witnessed the same thing. She had apparently replaced the flooring of her building. The server shutdown reset all the work done and materials went back in chests.

It's impossible that this is griefing (unless someone was really really thorough). I just didn't know it was possible for the server to revert several hours of world edits.

Either way, no biggie. I did what I wanted to do again in record time because I knew what I was doing. Didn't lose anything but time. It was just a bit odd.

Yep, I looked into it and it seems Minecraft encountered one of its hangs *while* saving. After fifteen minutes of being hung, my auto-restart script killed it and the server started again (but in the reverted state you found it in).

Usually after a crash all world changes are already saved anyway, but perhaps the "saving" part had crashed much earlier and it wasn't apparent until Minecraft restarted. A reverted state is much better than a corrupted world though.

I had been experimenting with longer gaps between scheduled restarts and they were doing ok until now. I've changed it back to scheduled restarts every two hours now.

Is there any way to find out where the lit portal is?

In other news, Minecraft for Android is only 10p today!

Just got android phone, but won't get any money for it till sunday. DAMN!

There are three End Portals in the world, and I believe only two have been discovered.

I have one underneath my citadel and it is not lit. It must be one of the others. You're free to light it if you want, but until we have the resources to kill the Enderdragon, it's going to be a one-way trip.

I say we all get Spehss Mahrine or Orky or whatnot skins before we do it- full enchanted weaponry, folks workin' as Engineers making embattlements and fortifications, people keeping the Endermen away, people working at taking out the crystals, etc.

If someone could record it, we could prolly have an awesome YouTube account of how you really take one down as a team. I could even provide splash healing potions!

Or, we have a very entertaining mass suicide video...

Which would still be awesome.

In that case Guardsmen skins would be more appropriate.

Or the PDF...
They tried to stop them, but they were killed to a man.

We all need to get texture packs to skin bows as bolters and swords as chainswords. Then we transpose Space Marine sound clips into the video.

*seeing the dragon*
"Primary threat spotted... neutralizing"

*dragon attacks*
"Take cover!"
"Squad broken!"

*we attack dragon*
"Strike from the skies, brothers!"
"Cleanse, Purge, KILL!"

*dragon dies*

you should just finish the portal tunnel to my grinder and improve it, its thousands and thousands of blocks big and is only about a 5-10 minute nether walk from 0,0
its only about 300-400 blocks from 0,0 as far as I know, if you go straight from 0,0,65 towards 700,0,65 you should meet my cobble walkway about half way

If we're doing mass suicide, wear normal skins but install a texture pack where armour is IG-style, or if we're being serious, do the same but with space marines.
And useful tip- when wearing diamond armour, the ender dragon can't hurt you- it just pushes you around when it swoops. (Doesn't say if it has to be full armour, a certain armount or any at all- when I did it on another server I had full diamond armour).
I've not been on much at all these past few weeks, mostly because of IRL stuff and getting oblivion (and getting skyrim in 2-3 weeks won't help much either), but I'll still be game for an enderquest providing I have advance warning so I can get on.

Grundz- where is your gold farm? It'd speed up our titan stuff no end to have gold.

To answer you're question I have visited the end to see what it was like, When I get the time I will finish up the final chamber so we can all kick some dragon ass !
