So, been playing SSP for a bit and decided to start playing on the server. Finally found a place I think I can live. Looks clear on the map and explored a bit and looks clear. Cool with folks if I build here?
A while ago I planted a small field of sunflowers beside the cactus farm at https://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/3266/64/-2335/max/0/0 . Since I haven't needed either yellow or green dye for a while, I've had no cause to go there. However today I was improving my farming area and discovered that ALL of my sunflowers had gone! No idea if this was due to a server error (frankly unlikely as the plantation was fine for a couple of weeks) or somebody actually taking them all (in which case I am not impressed). Either way, if anyone has any sunflowers that I can pop by and bonemeal that would be great.
Generally speaking, if people are in need of particular resources just say and if I can help out I will. Please don't just take stuff though.
Cor, the Mountain Crown is looking good, Bin! I will have to see about visiting again. Did we ever finish our big underground route between there and Chasmholm?
Sad to hear about your sunflowers though. I remember that episode of The Good Life when someone nicked the Goode family's cabbages. Bad times. You get angry. Understandably.

Thanks, and of course you're welcome to visit any time. As for the underground route I think it was completed but honestly I couldn't tell ... it broke out into a confusing (but lit) set of caves so could be Chasmholm, could be somewhere else. Frankly I'd advise using the Nether.
While you're over I recommend a visit to the lake cottage if you haven't already seen it, just follow the road out from the stables and cross the river using the high bridge.
I wouldn't be that bothered about the sunflowers but they were a massive pain to get in the first place and I wasn't even left with one to bonemeal the crop back up to strength.
Still working around the rim of my basement. I think I might be able to start work on the great Trans-Eastern Dwarven Underground Rail Line soon. I think we figured it would be a good idea to do it near diamond level, so figure out where you want the stations to be- I think it would be coolest if it was a single unbroken straight tunnel with no bends or kinks in it.

That sounds like a fun project.

But for all your other single player worlds I give you, well not me a cool video I found If nothing else check out the links to the one command block files and just admire the wall of text

If there was a way to make it so that we had to pay say gold to get a furniture egg from a shop at spawn that would be a pretty awesome feature on the server.

To be fair, that's not a mod. Pure vanilla, and so there wouldn't be any connectivity issues- just possible sever lag potential (and I'm not sure that sort of command block jiggery-pokery causes any additional lag anyways).
I'd be up for it.

Anvil, a really broad mainline tunnel would be fantastic. Base at y=12, roof at y=17, and at least 5 blocks wide, would look ace. No kinks, no bends, but possible smaller side routes.

5 tall 5 wide? Maybe to start :p
The question here is where on the x and/or z. It would be going North/South, of course, but we need to figure it out so it won't interrupt too many other workings.
I was personally thinking a large round profile'd tunnel, maybe something like 10 or 11 blocks in diameter, with an elevated single-block wide trackline supported by regular pillars going down the center of it. That way we wouldn't have to worry as much about lighting or slabbing everything, since the actual rail track would be out of the range of creepers and zombies. Then stations at each of the major crossroads. We might be able to set up a redstone system with chest carts and hoppers that would assign a 'key' item to each station, so that a train of carts would automatically bypass any station not of that key.

That'd work... and if the low end was around y=10, we'd probably have a lava pool floor for large sections of the underside of the track anyway, giving us some light. If we wanted to be extra safe we could cover it in glass.

Well I tried to find a portal other than the one leading to the (very nice) castle itself but failed. Followed a promising tunnel through the nether from the castle portal and ended up at the North tunnel.
I'm very happy to help you with your hole in the sea (mostly for andesite, diorite and granite if I'm honest) but without signposts I don't have a clue where to go ... and I don't much fancy an overland journey of that length!

Yeah my castle entrance is pretty sneaky. il go put the sunflowers in my Nether workshop if you know where that is
Actually I already got all the sunflowers I needed from you ... thanks! It's the portal to the hole in the sea that I can't find.

Well follow the arrows next time your on
speaking of your project, where do you want us to dig, I'm there and the steps to the area we fought the wither at are gone.
