Has anyone used my underground iron farm at -2180,-200 and borrowed at least two full stacks of iron blocks (there's a slight chance that i have stored them in the village nearby at -2080,-250, but they are gone either way)?
If so, please return and please leave a note next time.

So i justed test out 1.8

I like it. But there are very few changes. Like only four blocks, a few changes to doors. Villager trading kind of sucks even more, because they don't give you as many options as before, they stop after six trades, instead of the usual 9. Diamond armor is extremely rare to find. (Actually every armor is harder to find now, and same with anything iron. Diamond weaponry is more common for some odd reason)

You can trade potatoes and carrots for emeralds.

I like what they did with some parts but they need to make villagers more useful than that. Because even with that update it actually made the villagers worse at trading.

Well the only problem is that

Looks terrible. I can't find anything that it looks good with.

It is too rough.

But Granit and Adensite is very pretty when put with anytype of stone.

I'm not sure, there are forests just behind the Mountain Crown that seem to have a lot of flowers. Was there any specific flower type you wanted? I can see if I can track it down for you and maybe arrange a trade.

It's just that stormlord's post about losing his flowers reminded me about making a flower garden in my estate. Problem is, I can't find a flower biome to get the unique flowers that spawn there.

So keep me updated on that possible flower biome near your place!

There is one near(ish) to me which is where I got all my rare flowers from. I intend to set up a flower spawner/harvester in the area to mass produce them within the next week (once I hook it up to the Nether system and get all the bonemeal for it. Once I've done that I'll let you know and sort out a place to drop some off if you want?

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone wants to trade 5 stacks of quartz for 15 blocks of iron. If so just say so by messaging me.

Also I have to say that making quart z part of the recipe is expensive...

I like the three new stone blocks, and I can't wait to see what Painterly and the other packs do with them!

I have quite a lot of flint and am happy to trade it for pretty much anything you can't find on the surface.

how about lots of iron? i could be persuaded to give something a little more important i have a fair few potions of harming two knocking about for example...

Careful fire spread radius has been increased according to my testing.

Hmmm, some sort of rough white carpet? I wouldn't use it.

thanks for the heads up i tend to only put fires in totally stone structures even then its usually about 20 blocks to the first combustible bit i got paranoid about fire after a house id been working on for months in Single player to do a video got totally destroyed... id miss placed one bit and bam the whole lot went while i was under ground... damn my love for timber framed building styles...

as a geology student id have them may even build a Geological society of minecraft building in my village and have a rock display ... yes its true the dirt people cant get away from their work it kinda is an obsession too

So how does this look compared to the old one?
New


Old


Also for those wondering for an upclose test of the new stones...


and me having a bit of fun

Villagers only breed after x number of trades? Huh, there goes repopulating villages over time without the player's intervention.

Slime Blocks? Ooh, yup I'll be having those. The reducing all fall damage thing's a nice extra, if perhaps a little OP (ie custard turns to a solid when hit with sufficient force, as would you not want to fall into water over a certain height, so slime could only reduce fall damage after a point rather than totally removing it. Still, would that be fun?).

I assume that Diorite and its derivatives have no use other than as decoration. That's fine, but I'd hope that in a later update they serve some other function. ...I just like collecting everything that I may use one day.

The Enchanting changes are a bit here and there for me, but I suppose I can't complain. Lapis Lazuli having a proper use (other than as a dye) is fair. Though the exp cost changes do seem to push players to remain alive longer if they want to enchant things (that is unless you want to sit at a grinder for ages).

The That Mitchell and Webb Look reference did make me snigger a little too. Just sayin'.

well i logged on today as i felt the urge to do some MC only to find my base has been ransacked. anything of value has been stolen, diamonds, emeralds, horse armor, saddles, leads. i have been stockpiling so much for so long i don't know what is missing but i can tell stuff is gone.

i havent been on very much since this last world reset and what i have been online doing just used items in my cobble chest, it would be easy to compare the contents of my chests from the previous world to the current, if the old world is still accessable. the exception to this would be the 2 gold horse armor i found since the reset.

I'd PM darkinnit about it then. But if you haven't been online in a while, it might be difficult to find who's got your stuff now. But at least he can replace what you lost.

Well. We got another dakka dakka thief on our hands!

Or it's someone that was caught a while ago...

Nah, I haven't had to ban anyone since the new server started. This will probably be the first if it does turn out to be a thief.

Here's a tip to all newcomers on the server:

Bury your vauables underground in a secret stash. And try to hide your nether portal as much as possible.

I never lost anything to a thief since I started doing it.

I've got a very public Nether portal, and have stored my stuff in chests that are clearly visible. Never lost a thing to a thief, save for Normy, but well, we got that back!

Imagedump!



Just me toying around with the new stone blocks. This would probably be best underwater or something.

Seems this theft occurred on Christmas day, for shame!

I've narrowed it down to 5 people who were online at the time, just checking player inventories from that time now...

For what it's worth, you shouldn't have to hide your stuff, because most people on the server are nice considerate folks who know that stealing is a bannable offence.

Or build your base so impressively that people spend all their time looking around at the scenery and never bother to see anything else.

Or build so labarynthine that they just can't fiind anything. Like Chasmholm.

I don't think it was me, seeing as I wasn't on on xmas day and I don't own horse armor...

Anyway, did my attempt to make the new stone blocks look nice... succeed?

The thief has been found and banned.

Damn Mel, that looks amazing!

Glad people like it! I had no idea what I was doing to be honest >.>

I don't suppose I could ask if that's the same person who removed flower pots from my base? I'm just unsure if anything else may have been taken, there is just a nagging feeling that something else has gone missing; although I can't quite place what it is

I like those designs Mel, gives me some inspiration for how to build some future projects

I'll take this to PM to get the necessary details from you.

I think I may have been missing some iron too Darkinnit, though I'm not particularly bothered about the loss.

Good work Mel. Maybe its just the colours, but I'm reminded of those Dunmer Strongholds from Morrowind.
