Blimey. I've got 500+ Iron Ingots and 64+ Diamonds in a clearly marked, unhidden chest. Should I take precautions? Or is theft easily dealt with?

Give them to me, I can... look after them for you... >.>

Stealing = banned. This is not a PVP or "Anarchy" server.

Yeah, your stuff shouldn't NEED to be hid unless you just feel like it. There's less obvious griefing going on now than there used to be though so I don't really hide most of my stuff any more.

Flower Forest biome located ... it is at http://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/3433/64/-2502/max/0/0 (use the stable exit from the Mountain Crown nether portal). It's quite tiny but picturesque. You are of course welcome to come and pick flowers to your hearts' content, I have plans to build a cottage there eventually. I'm sure you already know this but please do NOT pick any double-height flowers (rose bushes, lavender, etc.) instead I think that applying bonemeal to an existing specimen will cause it to drop a clone of itself.

Iron would be just fine, thank you. I'll make a specific flint chest in the Mountain Crown portal room, just take what you want and leave payment in that chest (so I know what's what).

Sorry to hear about the recent thefts, that is miserable; but I'm glad that Dark is on the case. Such a shame, although I've not been around long there's a good sense of community on the server and I'd hate to think that there would come a point where we start defending our bases from one another. As ever, though, the Mountain Crown warmly welcomes any and all visitors, whether you've come for trade, caving, for our famous nature walks, or our wool.

Conversely, I loathe you all and will shoot on sight. ^_^

Sorry dude, shotguns don't exist in the unmodded game.

though it's generally better to play it safe and put the more valuable stuff somewhere accessible, but not easily found (buried under the floorboards is a classic)

Or some complex deadly puzzle dungeon in the basement.

that does sound more fun...

I did have a vault on another server in which I built an obsidian room three blocks thick, with a series of jumping platforms and such like, and then there's a door which, if you push the button to open, will drop the player into a pool of lava unless they're stood on a specific block on the floor. The door then opens to a chest, which has "umad" spelt out in cobblestone

I have mine guarded by One Direction fan-girls.

I would've gone for Justin Bieber fan-girls, but they cost too much to hire and they can be quite unpredictable. They also need feeding way more often, and are very picky about it.

Actually I'd say use note blocks to play some 1D music and make it like Sen's Fortress.

are you satan?

Of course not, Satan is American.

Nah- best is either one of the many ways of hiding chests within blocks (using chest carts, usually) or just making such a vast, impossibly gigantic, tesselated in layout chest storage room mostly filled with cobblestone that they get tired of the chest opening noise before finding the good stuff.

I used to hide them behind pistoned movable walls that require you to place and activate a few levers in the exact right spots in order to access.

If I was a thief, my reaction upon discovering said Levers would be to take my pickaxe and knock holes in the walls.

Ah, but you see, the key is that the levers are removed after they're done being used! Therefore, there's nothing to say that that portion of wall is any different than any other!

Well yeh, I used that but it also had a 7 lever combination lock to it. Good luck figuring out where each one went.

Thanks for the flint I felt a stack for a stack was acceptable?

Tear down the wall.

Absolutely, I'm not much of a caver so iron is always welcome.

If they're just going to be obvious andd blow a hole through the wall, they'll get banned even faster for it.

A quick chunk reset and it's all back to normal, and our server has -1 assclown.

Anyone have cobblestone I can use? Like an inventory full of it? I might be able to finish my bridge if I can trade for a massive amount of it. I just don't feel like farming it.

Feel free to come along and take what amount you need. Please make sure to first use the chests at my secondary mine shaft. If these are empty, take a look at the chests in my main house, next to the crafting table.

You have a link via the nether? I'm on the opposite end of the map.

Yeah, I'm linked to the nethernetwork. Just follow the west going tunnel from the 0.0 hub till you reach stairs. It's the first entrance on the right at the end of those stairs, the one with the signs in german.

I've got about a dozen stack Melissia. I'm located real close to the central spawn point, haven't gotten into the Nether yet.

Ah, I'm now at the nether nexus so I'll go look. Link to it?
