Or cover the roof with glass/slabs/etc. Mobs can't spawn on those AFAIK.

Ok, i've taken up a new project, uncover the overviewer map so there are no ugly black streaks/holes, incidently I uncovered three massive (possibly linked) Jungle biomes

They're down in the bottom right corner of the map, about 2-3 days walk from Not-U's house (which is awesome, although I may of locked the enchanting room...)

Also the Battlefleet in the top right corner looks really cool.

Looks like not exploring out that way has payed off then.

If nobody else has any information then i'm going to record it as an bugged escape followed by accidental drowning, as he's nowhere to be seen, and the building is close to water, so he could've easily wandered in.

They do that when they touch walls sometimes, additionally it is in their AI to avoid water and they are unable to drown. It is possible it may have accidentally wandered in with slabs as a bug, but that may mean it is wandering at the bottom of the ocean now or walked to shore and continued from there.

So don't be surprised if you see a rogue iron golem wandering around on the sea floor.

Thats a great image..

I'll begin diving for it in a bit, but there's also this.

Iron Golems will attack wolves even when the wolves are tamed.

I remember seeing some around so it'd be easier to start the search around town before resorting to a long search underwater. Of course if it is down there you're not getting it back. Then there's the various caves.

If you're talking about the tamed wolves by the huge Jungle tree they're still there so I doubt they killed him.

Hmmm, didn't know they made it so they can't drown; last I checked (a while ago, admittedly) they could.

If anyone sees a wild Iron Golem anywhere, please follow the following steps:
1) Do not under any circumstances approach it. It may be feeling lost and confused, and your presence is likely to anger it.
2) Alert other players using the chatbar and this thread. It is recommended that at least 2 players of reasonable ability be on hand before attemtping to trap and subdue the golem.
3) If the above requirements are met, trap the golem by placing blocks immediately in front, behind, and to the side of it, so that it preferably occupies a square of 4 blocks. Place non-gravity affected blocks directly above its head.
4) Once contained, update the situation, and provide the co-ordinates of the trapped golem for so that it can either be retrieved or safely destroyed.

I don't know if guys already knew, but there is a rumor that in adventure mode Pyramids with hidden treasure and mummies will be added, and that is apparently the reason for the new sandstone. Just rumors though, so don't take that as solid fact.

May add to those fountains that sometimes appear in a desert.

That was a fun, what, 15 minutes

Also, just wondering, who keeps on entering 'Da Toolshed'? I went back there in the first time in a week and, let's just say, all my gates and doors were open (except my tower)


With the farms I understand, but my private area?

Also, I know it can't be me as I haven't been there in a while and when I do enter it, I enter through my tower, not the main access point.

its the wells
ANyways pyramids sound... not really awsome.

Could the person griefing both the surburbia build/furnace area AND the buckland path please either pay restitution or repair the areas if it was creepered.

The Buckland path was I am assuming, creepered because the radius taken out was irregular, but the suburbia build area was blocked with dirt.

Also, someone took approximately 20 torches off the buckland path. Those torches are essential to the path, as it is the only thing preventing night attacks.

The griefer level is rising...

Give me dates and times of when it was last ok and when you first saw things out of order. Without these dates/times, you might as well just say "something bad happened!" :-)

Something bad did happen.

It involved chickens.

Hundreds of chickens.

Thing is, though, we already know who did that


Darknitt... *IntenseStare*

Ok, "Darknitt" is banned

whoops, I meant Darkinnit

EDIT: That's right, I know...
and you were going to get a cookie...

Doctadeth wrote:but the suburbia build area was blocked with dirt.

How so?

Sorry, it was the build point with the 2 doors and iron bar walls, the two doors were blocked off with dirt, one layer.

Were they wood doors? Are you sure someone wasn't just sick of zombies knocking? :-)

Well considering it was the outside that was packed with dirt, and b) it was the only way IN OR OUT, that it was someone being silly.

That being said....

I think Abso was just messing around with Leiah (she mentioned something about him with dirt earlier) with that, must have forgotten to clear it after he was done so not malicious in intent.

Okay, understandable then....just used to people smashing the glass there and degraveling.

If anyone working on the Suburbia sewers would like to see an example you can feel free to visit my city. i have a portion of the sewers finished with water and light

Bloody hell Fett, that's impressive ! All these awesome group projects going on, I only wish I could get more time on and join in :(

i only wish i could get back on ¬¬...

The only time I dirt-blocked Leiah was in Leiah's suburban home, and I removed the stuff afterwards. I try to clean up my minor pranks afterwards.

However, I did see that the furnace room right next to the 0,0 portal had dirt on the doors. I assumed that was some intentional anti-zombie-noise security measure and left it alone. That wasn't me.

So no sighting of the elusive iron golem... some say it stalks the plains, hunting for its brethren and killing wolves for food... others that it wanders the sea bed, grabbing unwary divers as they explore the depths... and there is a select group who have taken to tracking it, but have only found paths mysteriously blocked by dirt, preventing passage whenever they near...
