Where did all that snow come from?

I htink weather was changed so it sometimes snows in some biomes.

My forest biome got snow for example.

And when the hole's done, then we make the ramp! And then we make the hole look nice, and then we make the Titan!

What's the coordinates anyway? I'll help out for a bit when I'm not doing DnD gm-work/Dark Heresy pc-work/O.Chem homework.

MetalMessiah, don't call me fatty again. I'm going to have to make it a policy to kill you every time I see you.

Whoa there, Anvildude. If we want a ramp out, we have to double the pit size. Now, if you want to do all that digging, that's fine by me, but don't expect too much help, especially as that means;
demolishing my grinder (no chance)
or widening the entire landmass massively.

Indeed, there's no real room to expand.

Okay, which way is this thing going to be facing. Towards the Grinder? Towards Abso's Citadel? Or one of the other ways? I know there's some sort of 'secret cavern' in the water.

You could have made the titan in the ocean, at waist height in the water that would have implied that the thing is Freakin HUGE.

That would also have been a pain in the ass to make...

How so? you go in the water, make a tower to the surface and build from there.

We ain't just makin' one that looks cool- it's gonna be semi-functional as well. And we're makin' legs for it, too. Maybe someone can live in them.

Well I've been experimenting with different types of tnt cannons in single player. I've almost finished a shotgun type that I'll post pictures of later when I'm happy with it (I'm balancing it between spread and range at the moment but with the shape it's in you can adjust it depending on how you pack the tnt). That is if we're still going with the idea of having working weapons and a tnt cannon. In my opinion it'd likely be better to have weapons that look good, but do nothing.

Needless to say the mooshrooms are quite ecstatic about the whole situation.

The Mooshrooms are ecstatic about EVERYTHING, I swear those guys are on some kind of drug.

I wonder which drug that could be?

Yep, crack.

Explains all the Mooshroom hookers and pimps.

They have their own unique economy revolving around their drug industry.

As for the cannon, here it is when I was trying a sort of checkered loading pattern. With Creepers for extra fun. Though in the long run the Creepers could have disrupted it a tiny bit. The result is a large spread over a short distance.


Yes those are other cannons in the background.


The design is a simple obby funnel with a tube at the back for the charge. I haven't bothered adapting the design yet to mitigate damage near it.

Can you try the weapon on a creative flatmap?

Sure was only using that world as it's basically my screw around with tnt one.

Edit: Ah minecraft you give me such nice things to shoot at.


Shortly after this screenshot slimes spawned everywhere...

Flatmaps are only a few blocks above bedrock so slimes spawn everywhere, I kind of like it.

Well already done, even loaded it the fun way that looked the most interesting in testing. I like how one of the buildings looks like the blast curved around to blow out the back of it more.



Afterwards I decided to see what it would be like if i were to load it pretty much completely.



I see it working more hidden underground and pointing upwards. If the blast doesn't get them the fall will finish them.

Creeper cannon mark 3... success.


Could also be done in survival with chickens but it needs a lot crammed into a small place so would likely lag.

A apple just fell from a tree I just cut down....

How odd. I guess the rumors were true?

Indeed, I got several as I'm still clear cutting the area around my house and other houses for wood to build my Fortress on the Dakka server.

I've already made an apple farm on the server I play on, all the wood I get from it gets annoying, though...
still, since I'm on a server the planks get used by everyone else

Success, With the Combined Effort of Me (Nondar) and Inquisitor Diamondman we have cleared the Titan hole!

I guess if someone thinks about it well enough you could make a sort of automated farm. But, I don't think it is worth making an apple farm as the drop rate makes it low enough that it'd just be a tree farm with an added perk.

Best thing to do with all the wood would be charcoal.

Well, In doing so we may have accidentally caused some damage to surrounding buildings, minimal of course, and used up most of the TNT.

But the booms and the bangs were glorious!

Who of you guys has the singeplayer command mod?
I love to clone creepers into very big hordes..

Just use creative you can get mob spawning now.

Make a small box with a 2x1 gap inside of it, a door or something on one side. Knock out the top block then spam the spawning in the gap. When the door opens they will all push each other out like the above. There was something like a 2-3 minute gap between those two screenshots.

You need to fix it. The pit is ruined. As is Frostoman's hedge wall.

Either grinder-wards or in the opposite direction. I'm thinking the opposite direction myself.

And plenty of others.

I cleared a couple of the stone columns for example.

And I didn't have to use TNT.

Hell, guys, I gave you a full double chest of stone picks so you'd not have to risk using tnt except when it was safe to do so.
