You have dogs? Could I have some? Pretty please?

Also this just happened thanks to Lotet for finding the jungle! Everyone meet "Lady Fluffington I"

After I decided to set off to find a place to call my own I had wandered for days. There was only a small patch of plains then Jungle, seemingly forever. I kept going, traveling the coast and almost gave up. Till the Jungle cleared into more plains, but I was past the -5500 mark, I was further away than I was comfortable with. I saw a steep slender mountain and figured I'd get a good view of my surroundings. When I got there I surveyed the area and found a Village. Ahh, this may be a good place to set up.

After chatting to the locals, none of whom seemed to be selling anything of real value, the best being a fellow who wanted 9 Arrows for 1 Emerald, I looked around. These chaps apparently decided to make their village right next to a fissure. Only 3 blocks away and it was a steep drop. This may get in the way of my future plans for the area as it runs straight through the plains.

Oh well, for now I claim the Village from off map. It is here: http://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/663/64/-5698/-7/0/0

I think I'll go back to base and get some Stone for a simple wall and Iron to make a Golem, maybe 2, while making the exits too small for the Golems to get out.

yeah sure you can have dogs, feel free to bread yourself one or two!

I'm very glad someone had put the Jungle to good use. That last character at the end of Lady Fluffington I'st name seems rather ominous though. But that might just be from the last place I read of such naming conventions...

I may stop by to try to scavenge some Iron from your farm, as making a pair of Golems would use up half my Iron.

yeah sure seams everyone wants to visit if there isn't sufficient iron in the grinder let me know and ill put out enough for two golems for you

also this applies to real life too I always wanted a dog called Lucifer... now i need to get more name tags to name the others Beelzebub, Satan etc.

Just been, damn the scale of this place is impressive though it strikes me as over ambitious perhaps. Like the massive Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea.

Massive, and impressive to look at from the outside, but mostly unfinished on the inside. But I mean that in the nicest way of course. How long have you been building it, and when do you think you'll finish it?

Also, was that a Dragon Egg in the tower?

It probably was slightly ambitious to start with, although the original idea has changed since the start. Originally I was just going to build the walls and then live in the corner towers, but then decided that just didn't feel right so started on the keep. The rear tower then grew out of that, but due to my location on the old map had to be smaller than the rear of the keep but now I think looks good as is.

In terms of when I started I think it was around 2 years ago, possibly more. Within that time there has been a degree (with dissertation), new girlfriend, job hunting etc which has slowed down construction somewhat, along with some time helping Cantium acquire villagers for the iron farm, not to mention the time taken to get all the Nether brick needed. Completion of the outer shell I estimate to finish by the end of October (hopefully) with interior decoration then taking me up the the end of the year. At which point phase two can begin

And yes, I do have a Dragon Egg in my tower, but I'm not sure I'm happy with its display case

just a heads up so you can make your life easier

"When breeding two wolves with different owners, the pup's owner will be the owner of the wolf you right clicked to breed with first." (http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Dog#Breeding)

so you dont have to get two if you only find one you can then breed with someone elses dogs...

hopefully i sent you in the right direction! if not ill do some 'sploring and note down what i find... let you know

alternatively i've written this and you have found your dogs and no longer need my help either way. thought it would be useful information.

No, I've come across a Forest biome around X-5000 but have not yet found any dogs. I'll continue the search when I log in next.

Good to know I didn't send you in the wrong direction! feel free to use the facilities at my village there are beds and plenty of food in the basement of the agriculture building.

You said West, I went West, to the X5000 mark. When I said "Thats a long way", I meant it was about 1.5 km. Not 8 km.

Umm. You could ask dark, instead of generating hundreds of blocks of terrain....

Its already generated. Cantium has been here before, apparently its where he got his wolves. And its just off the edge of the map, about 1.2 km from his home

So you're jumping to conclusions.

Hey guys, I think I'll be able to get back on. Been really busy.

Are we moving to a new map or something. Or is it just FTB that is moving?

As far as I see, we just moved to a new server with the same map. So unless you can't log in then everything is fine.

Aside form last night when there was massive server lag.

I could definitely feel the distance. But somehow, when you travel a wild path multiple times, it doesn't seem as long anymore. But last night I tried to cut through the Jungle instead of sailing the coast. AUGH! Never again! Took about 15 minutes to get through. So I doubt anyone could put a serious dent in the Biome.

And because of that distance...

Just let me know once you decide on a final portal placement, and I'll give you a hand with the sub-tunnel to it, if you like.

My village is over 1500 blocks away from the Jungle Portal, so that means the Portal is already in it's final position. Though I don't know if it's worth the effort to pretty it up.

Now, in case no one noticed. There are horses about 150 Blocks West of the Jungle Portal exit, plenty of them. But remember that the Portal is facing North/South, so don't trust your sense of direction, trust F3. Just don't collect them so you can have a full stable, leave some for others. I've only seen about 3 wild horses in my entire play time here(before now), I hope you don't make me regret telling you this.

I hope you don't make me regret telling you this.

I didn't realise that your opinion of this server was low enough to warrant a comment like this, or for us to be told to leave some for others.

We're not all spiteful pricks.

After hearing about Bloodhorror I read some of the older pages. Seems problematic people cropped up occasionally. I wouldn't be surprised if someone decided they need 4 horses.

Besides, if I thought that lowly of you then I wouldn't have mentioned the herd.

Guys calm down horses are fairly common! They spawn on any plains biome, including savannah plains which is where I got mine from I live on that biome they spawn occasionally now I have one or two wandering around across the river from me from time to time so they do respawn after the herd goes... As with all my animals I only ever take two to form a breeding pair. I think people just need to calmly step back from this issue take a breather. There is certainly no need to start flinging accusations around over mobs of all things

Also let me alleviate your worrys this terrain had been generated previously it's inside the current furthest nether portal in west tunnel I know of at least 3 people who have bases beyond the edge of that map edge

I have horses very close to the portal in Savage Island if anyone wants to breed from them (head north in the Great North Tunnel then follow signs).

Let's enjoy exploring the world too. That's part of what Minecraft is all about. Anyone wanting to go to completely new places can do so fairly easily just by extending a Nether tunnel say 500 blocks off the map, which gets you 4000 blocks off the map once you transfer to the surface world.

As much as I can't speak for him I'm certain that lotet was perfectly calm, as was I. One thing guaranteed to make me uncalm, however, is being asked to calm down when I'm not at all riled. Nobody was flinging accusations, either. You're treating this as if lotet and me were in a raging argument.

If anyone needs horses my Neighbor has some you could breed off of

I've got plenty of Wopves you can use for breeding.

They're all tamed, though

Sorry about that. I have a hard time discerning the intent of peoples words in text formats. Purely a mistake on account of my useless brain.

Have made a start on upgrading the N. Tunnel all the way further north... Lotet, am I OK to use some of the materials from your chests to do so, if I run out? I've moved the chests and workbench and sign to a side room I made off the main tunnel.

Sure, use as much as you like, it's what I brought it there for. Thanks.

Brill.

Hmm.. now that I hear PC Minecraft has an infinite spawning world.. I am suddenly more interested in making the jump from console to PC... however wonder if anyone could help me a sec.

I did the free trial on PC about a month ago and one of the silly differences that quickly did my head in was the fact with the PC you have to construct your tools in the box every single time.. seems daft but after playing the console with a one click your done set up all this time, the PC way seems clunky and time consuming to me. I had a look for mods, but there are so bloody many (which is a good thing long term) that I thought I'd just check if anyone here already use's one they could pass on to me, so I can go straight to a mod that does what I want it to.

The world size for the pc version is huge sure and far greater than consoles but its by no means infinite.
