I do believe you can make giant trees outside of the biome.

You just need four jungle tree saplings to grow a giant tree.

As an aside, I FINALLY got my giant mushrooms to grow to the right size, so I'm at the second to last story of my shroom biome house.

Y=106 or so. One more level and I'll be too close to the skyline to bother expanding more.

Giant trees can grow anywhere, even in snow biomes

Ah, crap, need jungle saplings.

Maybe Darkinnit can provide a few to seed a farm.

He'll provide some for us to build the makeshift jungle biomoe with, when we're done you can harvest some yourself.

They won't try to get closer, even if attacked and provoked by the player. This makes cats the creepers third weakness, the first ones are fire and lava, since they don't explode if exposed to them

Despite dropping (and probably containing) explosive powder, fire doesn't make Creepers asplode... I don't see the logic there.

/Because a game full of skeletons, enchanted spades, and getting large blocks of wood by punching trees, needs to be logical for me to play it.

Well I discovered I made a miscalculation with the welcome sign and now it needs to be 28 blocks wider. Woohoo.

It will now span over the cactus road that's just to the east.

Need any help?

I've called it a night for tonight, but you're (or anyone is) welcome to help if you want to.

I've been gathering sandstone from where the desert meets the swamp in the east (you can see the hole on the map). Wool obviously comes from the sheep below the sign.

The frame is 2 blocks thick sandstone all round and five blocks deep. While the face of the sign is 1 block deep sandstone with 1 block deep black wool lining it. Or you can just see what's there and match/extend it.

If you do work on it, keep any upper surfaces lit up well (no need to light up walls) or there will be mobs falling on you or others below.

Wow.


How the heck did this turn into one person asking if MC was good and before you know it, the multiplayer server people are here!


Anyhow, I thought there was a stickied thread?

That's only for white list requests.

Initially he asked, then once he knew we all started talking about our projects and such. When they opened the multiplayer server up it was only natural for this thread, which had by then become a general Minecraft thread, to shift focus again to be predominantly about the server.

I have begun the process of the staging area of the temple of terra in the large ocean to the south of the large sandstone globe (biccats)

if you have any structures in this area let me know, this thing will be monolithic and will take up a majority of that ocean when I am done.

Which one is it? The lake with the sphere, or the ocean south of it?

If it's the latter, I'm honestly thinking that it should probably be moved elsewhere so the temple isn't ruining the view from the artificial jungle biome.

Going by what he said it' the ocean that island is in. But, the ocean is pretty big so it might be able to fit in the middle of it and not even be visible from the jungle given the tree cover and all.

I am going to rejoin soon, when I come back on, I will do two things. First is installing a skybridge from buckland to the Arena, (working on a fall preventative) I am planning on having a water ramp to stop falls rather than a fence, However, if people don't want a skybridge, I can put up a wee tunnel or freerunning path up.

What's the second?

Not sure if you're talking about the same ocean as my globe, but please don't build there if you can avoid it.

If you're referring to the one at the bottom of the map bordering the snow biome, I've got no problem, although it sounds like Mel might.

Don't have a problem so much as if you do build it there, please don't put it within sight of the future jungle biome island...

As long as it's as far from the island as the desert is to the north, it will not be visible on "far" view distance, if I recall correctly. I'd have to double check in-game though.

as long as the island stays nessled inside that bay, there's no way i'm going to build that close to the adjacent continents so it should be a non issue

"island stays nested inside that bay"

Oh but we were going to add propellers and set sail!

Heh, yeah, I figured that it was out of range, I just wanted to help point out that distances on the map are usually further than they look. See the size of land biomes compared to the size of that ocean for example.

Okay then.

Second event I am working on will be making a nice large complex further out from buckland. Probably out towards where the unsighted area is circled.

Render distance of "Far" is 256 blocks, that seems to give a big veto over people who don't want to see 'X".

As long as the jungle island (which I'm struggling to find) isn't within far view of anything I'm happy.

As I said before, same here.

I just have to ask, why would you put the Temple of Terra in the water? Why not in/on a mountain/plain, or underground?

Anvildude wrote:I just have to ask, why would you put the Temple of Terra in the water? Why not in/on a mountain/plain, or underground?

it is dramatically easier to build an island than it is to level a continent

What need have we for easy, though?

Besides, you could just give those two yahoos that 'helped' with the Titan Pit some TNT and let them at it.

(half joking, half serious.)
