Oh, hahaha!
There's a certain radius around the spawn that you're simply not allowed to build. Everything you destroy will reappear. Go further out.

Either that or your Minecraft is bugged. Are you having this problem on any other multiplayer servers? Check out (mau5ville.com) or something popular and see if the problem persists.

What's the connection speed of your internet though? All of that was sort of irrelevant to it. When on the server list leave your cursor over the connection strength to the right and it'll give you the ping of the connection, the lower the better.

Good idea, but I am waaaaaay outside of spawn.

Not sure of the ping, but I have 20MB/s internet (usually runs about half that). But the issue is less now... server did a reset, or backup or something. Seems to have fixed it for the moment.

Interesting, shouldn't have a issue with it. Perhaps it's just the way it went through to the server.

not sure if anyone is interested but some Minecraft related news came up in my Gamasutra newsletter:

about Notch handing over Minecraft to Mojang's Jens Bergensten

official Minecraft LEGOs anyone?

Make sure you are not in the spawn area. If you've ended up in the mine under the spawn area, it has block protection (from bedrock to sky limit) and blocks will re-appear.

If it's not that, make sure you (or others in your household) are not doing large downloads at the same time.

Other than that, try a friend's internet connection?

Distances in the overworld are 8 times that in the nether. So you are off the edge of the map in the overworld, but fit into the 1/8th size nether map.

In order to fit more of the overworld onto the map without it taking several hours to generate and upload, I would have to zoom out and also sacrifice some zoom levels. At the moment I think I have a "just right" balance of time taken to generate and upload vs land covered. Sorry.

Having said that, I may look into the feasibility of having a second map (or even layer) showing a higher zoom of the entire map, but that map would be updated much less often.

I'm going to build a nether Restaurant, "The Spartan", and was wondering if anyone would like to help!

I can help by letting you have the cobble box I built.

On the map my portal should be the 18, -193 one. The cobble box is to the right of it.

No, the bed icons show your most recent bed (according to your inventory file). If the bed got destroyed and you haven't died yet, then the point won't be updated. Also there are a lot of bed positions carried over from the old world. If you have a bed icon on the map near your place where there is no bed, it could be from someone who has not updated their bed since the reset. If it bothers you, let me know and I can clear their bed position.

Ah, I was close

I was looking at the manor and I noticed that only two of the beds appeared on the map so I reasoned that only changed spawn points are used.

Hey, I'm working on the palace of terra, wondering if anyone would want to take my single player save and add some detail or modify it to add detail and such let me know I'm running out of ideas
Once I'm happy with it i'll start building it ingame

I'll take a peek inbetween deaths online.

So since I joined and immediately ran off to the far corners of the visible map and started building... I don't know where New Dakkatown is. I suppose it would be near spawn, but i'm having trouble identifying a clear town in that area of the map. Anyone have rough coords?

I kinda wanna have a Dakkatown house

WE don't really have a New Dakkatown. Heck, there wasn't really an OLD Dakkatown. Just a collection of buildings near spawn made by people too lazy to go exploring before building.

Well, yay! Lol. So If I want a place near spawn, just go build it then? Feel like I've read a lot about the stuff folks on the server are doing, but I'm so out of the way I've never seen any of them. :(

Same...
I'm one hell of a walk away from the spawn...
Though i have my swamp all to myself which is nice...
Some bigass caves around though.

I'm running into the same issue. I planned outa great mine system, but the caves underneath The Mount are HUGE! Ruining my careful planning. If it wasn't for those meddling kidsssssssss...... BOOM!

Is there a way to stop creepers from spawning underground?

Fill cave complexes up with cobblestone, water, or lava.

Preferably so i can use them...

I kid, I kid...

I make sure I have some armor and a sword, a ton of torches, and some signs. I make sure to light only on the right hand side or the floor while I'm exploring, so if torches are on the left I know I'm headed out/ Use signs to point out more confusing tunnels. Explore everything, and light it up like a christmas tree. No more spawns, though you will probably need to kill a few to get it done.

I went through the tunnel complex and made small sections out of everything, using walls and doors to seperate them. And then lit those up one at a time...

Best way to explore is to have a stack or two of wood logs. That way you can create anything you absolutely need- workbench and wood pick to get started, furnaces can make logs into charcoal for torches. Stone's everywhere, so that's not an issue. And every stack of logs makes 4 stacks of planks, and from that, 8 stacks of sticks, which is plenty for anything you might need.

I prefer to wander at random...
Though i do take some things to make sure i live... most of the time...

Well when I was entirely nomadic trying to find my house I found it helped to really only have about 5 or so logs on you.

Gets you a work bench and one wood pick, maybe some more but I swapped it quickly to stone to keep some swords going.

Here are a few screenshots of Mount Azrinae, my first home in Dakkacraft. (Work very much In Progress) Comments are welcome.

Pressing F1 before taking a screenshot will turn off the HUD and sort of let you get a clearer screenshot.

Seems legit.

Not sure who owns the pyramid, but I was checking it out and a creeper came out of nowhere and blew up a good chunk of the main hallway. I put back as much of the floor as I could, but some of the redstone wiring below was also damaged. Since I couldn't repair that, I put the 2 redstone back into a chest near the bed. My apologies for the inconvenience.

No GUI, updated, going to bed.

It looks very nice...
