Yeah the barracks is sorta complete. It looks interesting. Might add some towers to it. Because right now it look like a church more than a barracks.

Any suggestions anyone to improve it? Should I use diorite or granite when it comes out to make it pop and more dynamic!

I might need to make it more interesting it looks too plain. Add some jettisoning towers to it.

i like your material choices but i think it suffers from the same problem my city has, its just too flat. I watch Sjin's Let's Build for ideas on how to make interesting things and i have really picked up on his use of 2 block thick walls so you can dig into the outer layer to add depth which REALLY helps to improve the visuals beyond using different materials.

you can see my old walls vs the portion i re-did. I still used the same style blocks but digging in one block into the outer wall really turned my booring wall into something thats pretty cool.

Great idea!

Also, you should think about horizontals. Something as simple as pushing any crenelations you have out by one block (and it stops spiders!) can make a wall look a lot better.

For example- just a simple row of cobblestone wall about halfway or 3/4 of the way up on your barracks, or even a single row of Netherbrick replacing your stone brick, would add a lot of interest to that section. Heck, even a single strip of basic smoothstone.

Thats a great idea.

I will use both ideas. I mean I left parts of the top smooth so I could add an additional section.

How does that look? It looks bulky now. :/

I might just put it in the inside, the netherbrick looks gorgeous. But thats about it.

Might add a tower to pop out on the other side that doesn't have as much details.

**IHateNids**

Dark, we have a small case of a serious problem.

attatched is the screenshot of the issue. I don't believe it can be solved without godhood.

Cheers.

**Desubot**

It seems like the source is a single block.

If you got some fire resist pots you could clean that up in no time.

I think i have some in my potion area but i cant really log in right now.

**Binidj**

Why can't you pillar up there and block the lava in the normal way? Not sure I see what the issue is.

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

I would just build a glass tunnel underneath it. It'd look cool.

**Wyrmalla**

I'm having connection issues at the moment (ref crappy replacement laptop), and came across this odd bug when logging in after a time out.

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

Astral Projection?

**Matt.Kingsley**

Similar thing happened with me a while ago, though in that case there seemed to be several clones...

other than being cool and awesome (and meaning you are lagging hard) it doesn't do anything harmful afaik

**Ian Sturrock**

Is there an issue with stuff disappearing if it was on a crafting table during the server restart? I was turning 63 or 64 oak into planks during a restart, and when I logged back on, it'd vanished. :(

**Wyrmalla**

Crafting table? If you log out I'll assume that the items will drop as though you've exited the table. The chunks remain loaded for a time after that, but not so long that items on the ground are deleted if you immediately relog, so if you did do that then they should have still been there.

**Ian Sturrock**

Ah, I left it a bit before logging on again! D'oh. :(

**Optio**

Wyrmalla, would you be interested in joining our two oh great lands together via a road of some form?

Dear fellow Minecraft players smarter than me (read; all of you):

I am the proud new owner of a Nether Portal. However, upon entering the Nether, I discovered that my portal linked up to an existing one; namely thenoobbomb's.

My question to all of you is how do I make my portal connect to a portal in the Nether that are linked to eachother, and not to someone else's?

Do I just have to build a portal in the Nether closer to my actual coordinates (divided by 8, I think?) to link to mine in the overworld?

Halp.

**Optio**

You are spot in! Yep, all you need to do is build a new portal on the same co-ords as the overworld divided by 8.

Excellent.

Then here's my next question...

Anyone have 10 Obsidian I can permanently borrow?

Yes, if you'd like. Though at the moment I don't really have the inclination to play minecraft much, so my efforts may be a bit... well lacking unfortunately. =P

**Optio**

Lol thats no problem

I will run it nearish to your base and then let you run it inside.

**IHateNids**

Who owns this village?

Yours truly.

**IHateNids**

In-game you are?

Forgive the enquiry, just stumbled across a new portal and went nosing...

TwoToneWyvern.

I had a portal issue, where my new one connected to thenoobbomb's, so I had to make one in the Nether at my overworld coordinates.

I plan on labeling it and prettying it up a little.

**IHateNids**

fair enough... just so we know it is inhabited

By me!

...but no villagers. I was their protector...they trusted me...and I failed them.

Seriously though, all my villagers are dead. Don't know how it happened. Bit of a ghost town unfortunately.

**IHateNids**

I noticed the absence of life...

**Overlord Thraka**

Someone should ask Darkinnit to spawn more villagers. There are barely any left on the explored part of the server and we need some.

I wouldn't complain. I don't even know how mine died in the first place.

I logged out when they were all alive, and logged back in a day or two later and they were all gone.

**Anvildude**

You know what would be neat? If Dark added, at the top of a Bedrock and Obsidian Keep overflowing with Mob spawners and tastefully decorated with lava, in a room that none can reach, a single Command Block.

Of course, all I'd want it for is to change the darn River Biomes around me into Frozen River biomes. Gets annoying when you have 1 or 2 blocks that rain while everything around them is snowing.

Could be that someone was near enough for the chunks to load and that they had a zombie invasion while you were gone.
