Precisely. That's where I'm doing it, anyways. I haven't yet set up my own ice generator (though I should probably get on that- I think I don't have enough redstone, though) and I'm working on getting a cheap silk touch stone pick (since repairing is going to be a lot cheaper with stone than with iron or diamond).

Also, I'm kinda loving the ability of the new launcher to choose profiles for different versions- I installed Tinker's and Railcraft into a singleplayer world for me to play around in- I find that I seriously miss the hammer and the excavator in Vanilla.

The new snapshot 14w04 changed that, so your conventional iron golem farm is fine.

Oh that's ok then :p still now that I got myself all geared up for a change to the system seems a bit of a waste to not make a few tweeks :p plus what I was planning would improve efficiency 100 fold

Going for a spot of wither fighting in about half an hour, any idea what type of armour to wear, and what potions to drink?

Go nude, eat bad potatoes, and attack it with a pork chop.

Much thanks to BBrotherwood and Gangstamuffin for aiding me after my solitary attempt of killing the wither on my own failed miserably after the first 10 seconds.
The beacon will be used for the ender grinder MKII eventually.

I'd like to know who built this cobblestone mess right next to my base:

Build a hill or plant a forest between it and your house so you don't have to look at it.

Someone repair this portal, or is it just the map displaying things incorrectly. If so, would you mind un-lighting it again?

Thats easily viewable from a far setting, so it's the builders fault for putting it there. Builder of the cobblestone buckets needs to do something about it, not Dr What.

Stormlord, I'm trying my best to give you the materials (a few stacks of quartz and quartz blocks, as well as some bonemeal for flowers and flowers) but my gaming computer is being temperamental and keeps shutting down randomly. (It is slowly dying...)

I'll continue to try and get you your materials, but it may take a bit longer because of my stupid computer...

Storm if you need any more bone meal in addition to what Matt.Kingsley is giving you I have lots spare which you are free to take

Hey folks, just got permission to join, I came to ask if anyone would mind if I extended the Western path by turning it a bit then straightening it West again between these 2 structures. But that would cut the path really close to the small brown house, which, according to the markers, no one is even using as a spawn, so I don't know if anyone would be annoyed at such a path.
http://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/-452/64/296/-3/0/0
maybe I should make a forest engulfed path? A Tunnel? It looks like it's already in a tunnel though. Go NW then turn West here?
http://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/-597/64/-23/-3/0/0 That would bring it close to a bearded statue and fort.
The path isn't necessary of course. If you or anyone doesn't like it or thinks I might step on someones toes by building it, I'll just forget about it.

All the way here:

For a hole in the ground.

The only reason I chose that area for the hole in the ground is the grass colour for any underground lawns.

Though if there are any existing projects for me to lull away my time on, that'd be good because I have little follow through on my previous projects. Especially when I consider how long it took me to tear down a mountain. Making a big hole in the ground, that's sealed so it isn't visible from the sky, would take too long. Hopefully something big and menial that I can't get wrong, like land clearance, a sky platform, wall filling or cavern digging. It's all just a time sink. Too many forgotten projects.

If you really wanna do some land clearing, I could probably use some help leveling out a couple mountains here. If you can follow the pattern of the wall, and leave the wall itself to me (plus, keep the cobble for the walls- just put it in any chest space you can find- the Dirt can be gotten rid of if you want, though) then you don't need any supervision.

I'm also planning some extensive underground excavations (again) if you don't mind doing the whole 'diggy diggy hole' thing for someone else, but that's gonna happen at a later date.

You seem to have a vendetta against mountains dude

They're too tall, and pointy!

Those Hills? Sure, I might be there in a couple of hours. I won't be logged in for at least another 15 minutes.

It's examples like this that make me thankful that in the real world we have roads.

EDIT: A combination of a Creeper, lag and your automated doors resulted in an explosion at your white south doors. The doors are fine, still there. Just thought you should know there's a bit of damage that I don't know how you would arrange it again. So much for working without supervision.

Eh. No big problem. Just make sure to not go into the Ice Spikes biome (I got plans, see) and you'll be fine. Feel free to use any of the food and tool resources in the main chamber- the stuff upstairs is a friends. And thanks for the help!

Nobody knows? I'd like to request permission to take this down, Dark.

I don't see nay player markers so I have no idea.

"Whats in the box?"

I know it was mentioned when the map was reset, but did we establish rules for ownership of Mesa biomes? I don't really want a whole one just a little mound to mine for hard clay.

First have a look at the two signs on the front of the larger cobble building, to see if they have any identifying text. If not, then go for it I guess.

They're just first come first served, just like the rest of the world. I only had restrictions on where I would copy structures to, so that people couldn't "prebook" all the good spots.

I have the right hand part of the southern mesa, the one to the right of the desert. Not sure who owns that part, haven't heard from the guy who claimed left of the desert.

Has anyone claimed this section that merges with the desert?

http://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/230/64/-1001/-2/0/0

No idea. Obviously someone with massive and awesome plans has something on the other side of that.

Since I've built hat massive bridge and am now working to connect each of the mesas in my area by bridges, I have effectively cemented my claim right?

Or they just wanted a lot of clay...

Yep

I hope it's not just a desire for clay, because I might feel a desire to strangle if so >.>

I'm going to go ahead and claim that area if no one has any objections in the next few hours.

And don't worry Mel, it is for clay, but I'm only going to hollow the mounds out, not level them.

Oh, that was referring to this:
