Even so. I used a large supply of sharpness 1 stone swords to farm towards level 30 to enchant my first Diamond pick. Far cheaper than Iron swords for starting out

If so, I can only see common flower patches. Where are the flower biomes?
Yeah, in a direct comparison, you are right. The areas I meant are most likely not flower biomes, rather just a few random double-height flowers.

Then I can start building the temple of trading at spawn and waste most of my quartz on it.
I'll join in on killing the dragon, I wanna do it a second time. Also, it'll give me a project to do, I have all the materials needed to make an ender grinder.

Wait you were the one who did it last time right?
If you did, you should do what etho did with the new one, because endermites in 1.8 will be a big problem, so we might have to deal with that. Like having diamond armor for people there to use.
An anvil setup, an enchantment table, and you know. Alot safer than it was before. Because damn was your trip scary.
My trip was totally safe, there was no possibility of falling off the edge unless you mashed your head on the keyboard. Also the enchantment table was there from the start and there was an enchanting table and there was a farm so people didn't get hungry and need I continue?

From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.
The banners are awesome, my kids and I play on a lan game with the snapshots and like usual my 6yo had to show me how to put the skull & crossbones on a banner.
he was doing the same thing I was trying.
docm77 did a better tutorial on them:

Quick, somebody swipe all the contents before anyone else can nab it.
You'll be able to tell if someone has already gone in because the Temple is sitting 1 Chunk (16 blocks) from the map edge and the shortest load distance is 3 chunks.
After the map loads again that is.

You never know. Pilot pig might be a mastermind in league with demons.
Hopefully we can put on swords onto it. Like put a wooden sword on it.
Because you need a notch apple for the mojang logo.
A wither skull for skull and crossbones.
Thats kind of expensive....
I saw a new video and you can make chess pieces, and numbers as well. I tried swords and I don't think you can put them on the banners, but by the time 1.8 arrives it might be added if enough people ask for them.
I have a ton of wither skulls, I built a skeleton farm in the nether, brought some dogs there and when the dogs kill the skeletons they drop skulls If it's worth getting, it's worth farming
Oh and you just need 1 skull anyways, once you get a banner you like, you can put in a blank banner with the same original color and copy the banners.

Ooh, I LOVE Bane of Arthropods! I'll buy that sword off you. Or feel free to come by and use my own spider grinder. It's crazy efficient for a spider grinder- I used their proclivity to climb and get stuck in corners against them, so you can afk for a while in a certain spot and wind up with stacks of spiders waiting to be slaughtered. No pre-damage, though, which is why a super anti-spider sword is so useful. Payment for using the grinder will be a single lvl 15 enchanted stone pickaxe.

it's only 8 blocks of gold, find a new underwater temple and collect the 8 from there. Or build a overland gold farm, or go to the nether, wall yourself in with a small window and hit a pigman. gold is easy to get even by just mining with so many other options to get it.

But its gold :(
And we don't have a gold farm set up on the server yet.

Gold is pretty much worthless really, I only use it to make an apple before a boss fight. Or once in a blue moon to make a mule.
spend a hour or two mining and you'll have more than you'll need. Or the nether pigman farming. find a fortress, or any large area where they spawn, wall yourself in, hit a pigman. they'll keep coming and coming until you have more gold than you need and some cool enchanted gold armor & weapons. They'll provide gold looting swords to get more gold from them, but you do go through them quickly. It's also great for xp, just leave your good armor at home as they will destroy your gold armor after a while.
Unless you're on a pvp server, I don't see the need to make a large amount of healing potions. I only make a few before a wither fight.
Does anyone here still do exploring? I'm having a lot of fun doing this. Finding things like Flower Forests is always a joy. Though I've explored most of the area that I planned to explore as some members probably don't want me loading chunks. I'd load the entire map otherwise.
Hmm I wonder how people who have purposefully built off-map/on the edge feel about the map expansion to 6000.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!
(sigh) I'm just gonna keep them. I'll use them to farm levels on my Spider Spawner. And it BOTH OF THEM (RAGE!) one shot spiders. So there's that.
Want a Diamond Sword with Sharpness 3 and Looting 2? It deals +10.75 and all mobs from Creepers, Pigmen and Spiders have 20 health or less (Endermen have 40).
I'll trade it for 2 Diamond. Or if you really want, one of your Bane of Arthropod Swords. It's just sitting in a chest in the Spawn dormitory. Feel free to take the Knockback 2 book if you want.

Not really. I am planning on using them for beacon blocks.
Mostly due to the fact that I really need a powerful beacon in my area so I don't die while building my base.
Plus gold is also used for clocks, Golden Apples, Powered rails and weighted pressure plates,

6000? that's a good start, In my survival game I traveled 20k in every direction to get my all biomes achievement I didn't find a mushroom island til 13k, or spiked ice til 18k, but I made a really neat town in the mushroom biome and transported some villagers there. It took forever to build a bridge to the island then a moment of insanity to build a train run to it so I could build a village there.
So what server do you play on? and good luck loading the entire map a youtuber is making a run to the far lands for charity and that's some 12,000 KM away from spawn.
I meant the entire Dakka Map not the entire server
http://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/-208/64/240/-8/0/0 I tried exploring more off map starting from my village and heading north but the only thing of any interest I found was a villager selling ender pearls. What else could be out there to find? The only thing I want is a Mesa biome that I can ruin through over mining the clay. But that's not really necessary anyway since we already have 2 Mesas and I doubt anyone would mind much if I take a tiny island out of it or something like that.
The borders of the map are fom 6000 to -6000 but they used to be 4000 and some people like Big Mek Dattrukk or Anvildude seemed to have chosen their location with that border in mind. That's who I was thinking of when I asked.
