Just stumbled across that while exploring the caverns beneath my basement. I didn't even know that chasm was there!

Well I've never seen anything that bad outside a spawner.
Except one spot, 4 caves\tunnels converged on one junction....
So so many mobs

How much XP did you get from that?

Nope. No cobblestone. Just a hole, in a Ravine, filled to bursting with zombies. Gonna have to make some Cure potions.

Started prepping for my first ocean monument raid. Got a platform built above the monument with a bed and a big stash of potions.

The plan is to use invisibility to sneak in, drain a room using sponges and ladders, and make it safe with doors and walls to keep out the guardians. Then I can put down a bed and chests to store supplies.

How do the invisibility potions work? If i attack a guardian while invisible, does that break the effect of the potion allowing it to see me?

Thats not going to work well.

You might as well sneak in with potions and beat the gak out of the guardian one at a time. draining rooms take forever.

Remove all armor > take pot while you are not visible > find your way to the bosses > reequip armor > bash face in with diamond sword.

do that 3 times then you can terraform to your hearts content.

Also if you are thinky like me. you can use TNT to blow up the roof areas where the bosses are to bypass fatigue.

Yes, but I have sponge.

will attacking while invisible get their attention and cause them to attack me?

And how do you use tnt underwater?

Build around it.

So place tnt on the roof. place blocks all around the side except 1 and the top. place a sign in front on the floor (So not on the tnt) then light the tnt with a FnS. the air pocket will prevent the water from stifling it.

Not sure about the invisibile potion.

Whoever lost the horse at the 0,0 portal in the overworld, I placed your iron horse armour and saddle in a chest in the corner of the building.

Ugh, that was mine, probably...I noticed I was missing a horse named "Pickle" when I logged on today. I guess I rode it to spawn last time I was online and forgot about it, thinking I'd used the train instead.

I hope that any roof you give it will compliment the island the quality of the island.

Speaking of which, in the interest of seeing that island finished, feel free to take, hmm, 6 double chests of stone or cobble from the stone shop at spawn, just smash any empty chests. Even though you might have tonnes of stone or no intention to use it for the island ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If it looks nice you can have as much as you want.

The ugly cobble roof was simply a temporary panic room where I could respawn in safety close to the temple. It'll eventually be removed. I probably won't build anything at the surface - I'll build a Minecart rail on the sea bed (with a glass roof for a lovely scenic view) to connect it to my new island. I'm still in the process of draining it (which is actually a lot quicker than I was told it would be, thanks to the 40 sponge (10 of which was kindly gifted to me by SirRalphy) I've collected and all the furnaces I've left around the place.

Thankyou for the offer, thats very generous.

I was just out visiting your island and I noticed you have another Water Temple next to your island, plus another again in the unloaded area (soon to be loaded).

Say, does anyone have any ideas for south tunnel? I want to build something that's really far down south so it's going to be a long tunnel. Anything to suggest folks? Otherwise I might just make another "canvas" of Stone Brick like East Tunnel. I'd ask the people who use South but Mel is the only person who maybe lives that way so I doubt I'm going to get a lot of responses from residents. This also means that the chance that someone will use this canvas is pretty slim, so if you have something that I could use, I would apprciate it. Otherwise it might be brick forever.

... I'm not going to get any suggestions, am I ?

Well I think that the North tunnel design is pretty much amazing, so taking that as an inspiration can't be a bad thing. Maybe use the new blocks (granite, andesite, or diorite) to get a bit of a pattern going and not forgetting to mix up the depth of the walls so they aren't just a straight tunnel (although most of my tunnels are pretty bland admittedly).

That being said, it's not a tunnel that I use very often so whatever makes you happy.

Speak to Cheesus as he lives right at the end of the current South Tunnel stretch. Not sure what his Dakka name is.

Seriously dude, I consider myself to have a pretty good attention span if something interests me, but jesus I wouldn't have gotten 10% through that build before I drifted off to do other stuff

I tip my hat to you, good sir.

Heh. Was just showing off some of the server megabuilds to a buddy (he's img5somethingsomething on the server, actually, but doesn't wander or do much on it as of now) and was glad I could find these pics of Ma55terfett's grand hall.

And this comment on them... Well, I sort of want to object to that, now. Just a little.



And from the side.




This is one side of the expansion on my basement. One of 4.

It's only been 2 years, Shrike! Whaddaya think about that!

My god...

Yes, 2 monuments within 1 km. I wasn't aware of the third.

Eventually I will raid the 2nd monument, but I'm busy IRL atm so I have no idea when I'll get round to it, and I don't want to be greedy claiming two rare Biomes for myself so anyone else in the area is welcome to raid it first. If its not been cleared and raided in a month or so I'll probably start making preparations myself.

The one with the cobble stone safe house above it IS claimed and has already been raided for Gold and Sponge. I'm going to keep the structure intact (though I will delete some rooms to make it less of a maze) and make use of it somehow.

Perhaps we could turn the 3rd into a Public Guardian farm.

I'd wager Fett still has the prize for "most impressive build" on the server, but I'll reserve judgement until both are finished (if either of you are ever going to be finished )

I dunno... Ralphy's got a real nice place. And a boat!

Also... Holy crap Anvil... I've got my work cut out for me if I want to compete to you with build/dig size....

For those interested a slime-block elevator design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4U_2Lb1KdM

I know Shrike was asking about it the other day.

Shrike, right? Here I was, going to say he hasn't posted on this thread for a year and he turns up.

So Shrike, have any input? If not I might still run any designs to you before building... if I come up with anything.

I'd like to find a use for the new blocks by since I want to make the tunnel 1000+ blocks long I don't think I could gather enough to even use it sparingly. I have enough stone to make the Beanland outer wall so I'd like that to be a main component, but netherbrick would be fine to make it better

I would like something as nice as North Tunnel but I can't think of anything. I'm trying to make stuff in creative but nothing looks good.

EDIT:
Alright, here's my first attempt. Can anything be done with this? Too cramped? Too unadorned? Bad shape? Iron Bars or Nether Brick Fence? Glass maybe?

Does anyone fancy working with me to raid the 2nd monument and then turn it in to some kind of joint project? Not sure what, yet -- other than, maybe, if we do have a Guardian farm elsewhere, just acquiring a LOAD of prismarine blocks and building it you and up?

Does anyone know what happened to the Villager at Spawn selling name tags for 6 emeralds? It's been missing for days.

I was considering rounding up some wolves since I see a lot of them. Then using leashes and name tags (to stop them from despawning) and selling them to players at spawn. But if I have to buy tags from Librarians at 20 emeralds per tag then, well, 40 Emeralds for a pair of wolves sounds like a bit much, right?

Yeah, I also noticed he was gone yesterday or the day before. No idea what happened to him.

My advice... take lots of potions of invisibility, night vision and swiftness. I raided my monument and killed all these elder guardians without ever being in danger thanks to the invisibility. Lots of ladder, doors and a handful of sponge substituted for water breathing potions which I lacked the ingredients for.

Buckets of milk remove magical effects from you (including potions) so can be used for 10 secs to remove the mining fatigue effect. Handy for taking short cuts through walls. Break through the roof to get to the last boss, it's such a maze that I couldn't find my through it to reach him.

So, I've mostly been playing on my vanilla SSP game but I stopped in to the dakka server. Left the spawn once and fell to my death. I noticed that when I opened and closed a chest I could no longer look around with my mouse. If I hit esc to bring up the menu and then again to go back in game it fixed the issue. This occurred for furnaces and crafting tables as well. My google-fu couldn't find similar and it doesn't occur in my SSP game. Any ideas? It's annoying and one of the reasons I haven't started playing on the server

I honestly don't mind, really anything's an improvement over the current one, I only built the cobblestone tunnel as a temporary thing because I was the only bastard on the south side at the time
that looks good though

sounds good for me, I've been wandering for days looking for them.

I'll give you a stack of emeralds if you deliver 2 to my tower.

Well, I traded a pair of wolves to sirlynchmob and he gave me a bunch of emeralds and name tags, and another pair to Dria.

I've still got 2 more wolves named Ornlu and Beowulf at my base. Anyone want them? They're 40 Emeralds for the 2, this is only so I can buy more name tags. But if Darkinnit puts the villager that sells name tags for 6 emeralds each back in it's stall you can have both of them for the combined price of uhh, 12? But only after the villager gets placed back, if ever. The tags came from sirlynchmob so I'm personally not selling them for a loss.

They're just at the very far end of North Tunnel, near the Public Mesa tunnel, my tunnel is in disrepair with a cow. I'd bring them to spawn but there was that pesky hooligan a couple weeks back nicking things.

EDIT:
Also, Shrike (and Mel?), I know you don't really care but I felt I should ask about the tunnel anyway. Even though I probably won't start building right now. I won't ask any more. Do you think the tunnel would look better wider? Taller and Wider? Is the original size the prefered size? With Iron Bars, Nether Brick Fence or Glass Blocks/Panes for windows? If it's taller it might be nice to have a cross through the window (the short windows are only 2 blocks tall, so no cross, also, I'm obviously not going to show every window combination). Plus the floor and roof patern, 8 patern or diamond pattern? What do you think looks best?

Anyone else can answer as well, I would appreciate it.

WIDER


TALLER & WIDER. BIG TUNNEL.

Taller and wider looks fab. Might be a lot of work to do it for all those blocks. But it might inspire me to rework the North Tunnel to be even prettier.

Gah! My brother likes the Wide one. Disenting opinions! The bane of my productivity! Not that playing Minecraft is being productive...

Anyway, concerning the cross windows, I think if they're chosen I might bricks on either end, like so, since I like the lanterns having bricks to its left and right. Otherwise, the other window types would use the normal length tunnel.
