I suppose some people wouldn't want someone exploring in the seed or some such.

Spoiler:

Why, I think it IS! There are flowers here that I have never seen on the other lands. But the island is not particularly large. I fear that one day someone might come along and ruin the natural and rare beauty of this land.

Spoiler:

I can only hope the players and sheep don't exploit this wonderful place.

I am lucky enough to have a small flower forest very close to the Mountain Crown (http://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/3413/64/-2490/-1/0/0) which anyone is welcome to visit. I do ask that anyone taking flowers regrow the area with bonemeal and that they only bonemeal double-height plants as opposed to harvesting them. The cottage in the lake has basic amenities, and the area is walled off and illuminated so there should be no mob spawns inside the biome itself.

I have a fair bit of cobble in the Mountain Crown storage room, help yourself ... the chests should be labelled.

I didn't know flower forests were all that rare...

There's a few not very far from me in the north west quadrant of the map.

This is your place right?

If so, I can only see common flower patches. Where are the flower biomes?

Does /seed not work?

When I try it says something along the lines of 'you don't have permission to use that code mate'

I wonder if it says "mate" at the end of the sentence because I have the language set to Australian.

That's brilliant!

Yeah, whoever decided to make it an official language was a bloody genius.

When the world is loading it says "The rainbow snake is crawling" (native creation story)

Trees are call Eucalyptus, Gum and Jarrah.
Ovens are called Barbies (barbeque)
Wheat is Barley
Buckets are a Billy
Minecart is a Holden
Cart with chest is a Holden Ute
Cart with dynamite is a Ford

Chickens are Chooks
Dogs are Dingos
Horses are Brumbys
Creepers are Bunyips

and so on and so forth.

Hey, plan on building on this land. Any objections?

Looks good to me, If you want a short track there rather then travelling across the map, take the west tunnel in the nether. You will come across my tunnel towards my portal just after the stairs; It has a sign at the start of the tunnel saying either BBs or BBrotherwoods tunnel. That will bring you out here:

Say, would I be able to get the world seed please?

I've been touring a lot of players settlements and learned a lot about positioning, using the land, moving the land, scale and detail. But the area I want to build on has lots of water, hills, cliffs and a fissure, making it hard to plan. Also because I can't see it on the dakka map.

I don't give out the world seed because there are far too many tools that can be used to locate exact coords of treasures like diamond ore, strongholds, dungeons, loot chest contents, etc, etc, etc, without any in-game play required to do so.

That said, as thanks for finding the first Jungle on this world, (and because the new server has a lot more disk space), I have extended the range of the world map to 6000 blocks. This will take effect when the map is next rendered (in about 9 hours from the time of this post).

O.o

Celebrate good times come on.

By the way I figured out a way to trigger a spawn of ocelots. It has to be flat grass that has light levels of 15, (or direct sunlight) to spawn an ocelot.

So to the person that found it. you can cut down the entire jungle or you could clear out a small space and place torches there and have it on several levels to try and force a spawn.

Its called force spawning. you can do this to wolves and anything else really.

THANKS man!

Oh? Looks like I have a Jungle Temple here:
http://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/872/64/-5466/max/0/0

Mine mine mine

Looks like the map only added the changed chunks, I'll do a full render...

Need to try get back into Minecraft. Its been way too long since I played, (I played for about 20 mins last night).

Had this awesome idea for a house then it just didn't happen. Probably jump on around 2 hours or so.

Oh boy i can see my house from here
http://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/3286/64/-5152/-2/0/0

Didnt realize the jungle was close by

Hmm, the Jungle Temple gave me more than 20 pieces of rotten flesh and 2 gold ingots, seems unlucky. Oh well, doesn't matter. I got the most valuable treasure of them all (except nether star), Diamond Horse armour. Yusss!

On an unrelated note. Do you think a sword with Sharpness, Unbreaking and Looting would be better if it had either/both, Fire and Knockback? I'm trying to create the perfect sword.

I think Sharpness, Smite, Unbreaking, looting and fire aspect make the perfect sword. Knockback is only good when you are being swarmed by tons of baddies, and with a sword that good you'd take them out to fast for it to be useful.

Also, What should I name my Diamond Armored Horse? I never got around to naming him and he needs one. Just looking for ideas.

Unfortunately Smite and Sharpness can't go on the same sword, not in survival anyway. I don't know if Fire would be good because apparently Zombies on fire can light you on fire when they attack (not always) so I would probably put Knockback on any sword with Fire.

Hmm, maybe I'll make a Sword with Sharpness, Looting and Unbreaking, then another with Smite, Fire, Knockback, Unbreaking and Looting.

The second sword doesn't seem worth the trouble just to be able to kill zombies and skeletons in one hit.

Even if they can't go on another. But Sharpness effects ALL mobs. Where as Smite only effects the undead

If you're gonna have two, I'd suggest a Sharpness/Knockback/Looting/Unbreaking one (if possible) and a Smite/Fire/Looting/Unbreaking one. You don't necessarily want knockback on an anti-undead sword, since you'll be dealing with Skeletons as well, which get more dangerous the further they are from you. And it won't always be one hit- they can wear armour (enchanted armour, even!) remember.

The thing is, half of the most common mobs in the game are undead, and Smite deals more damage to undead per-level than Sharpness deals to non-undead. Same with Bane of Arachnids. They're specialty enchants, only useful against certain mobs, but very useful against those certain mobs.

Well, I intended to have the Sword as a nifty arena prize (even though I don't think this server has enough active players to do a big tournament) so maybe I'll just make books and enchant the sword the day before it's over, based of whoever is playing.

I was just going to keep it for display otherwise, I already have a Diamond pickaxe with Fortune, Efficiency and Unbreaking maxed.

Unrelated again, anyone have need of an Iron pickaxe with Silk Touch, Efficiency 3 and Unbreaking 3?

Just an idea...

I really want to get back into minecraft and finish my iron golem farm, ravine house, and all the rest of the things, but I'm finding it difficult to actually gather materials to do it all. I spent like 15 mins earlier this week trying to do stuff and I just quit because I don't like building when I could be caving.

Is the offer for the iron pick with Silk touch going Lotet? what do you want for it? - been trying to get silk touch for ages

The Pickaxe is sitting in a chest at the very end of the North Tunnel, right next to the portal (nether side).

Lapis Lazuli would be good since apparently in 1.8 enchanting will require a piece every time and I don't have any. Otherwise, any mined material would do fine.

Heck, you can have it for free as long as you have a use for it.

Thankyou! Ill see what I can dig out for you.

I really hate the idea of Minecraft enchanting requiring Lapis. That makes the game even harder for beginners and the like.

But then again. I might go back to spawn and build a temple to help with certain things such as lapis. Keep a valuable store there.

So I make a trading area for everyone. So just about everything you get for a price. Maybe Diamonds, iron, and gold being the standard. (Or maybe emeralds, because they are extremely renewable)

Will have to figure it out. Because we have to talk it out on spawn.

This way we can give items to the people who want it but for a price. I mean I really don't care, I have enough diamonds to last me forever. (meaning I rarely use them)


I think we need to do more stuff at spawn. Make it look impressive.

You can access Lapis long before you can get diamonds or obsidian though, so the point is (slightly) moot.

Also, Villagers will sell it- with more reliable trading, to boot!

But yeah, an interesting limiter. I like that repairing is going to be so much cheaper, though- no longer is it a question of "Should I use these 30 levels I ground out to repair Old Faithful, or should I gamble on a new enchantment?" It's more like, "Oh, I killed a couple zombies. Why not repair the sword I did it with?"

That's also why I'm grinding out heavily enchanted stone picks, and using them until they're in the red, then just storing them. I'll have a nice supply of Efficiency IV, Unbreaking III just waiting for a couple levels and some cobblestone to start swinging again.
