Likewise if anyone has endless iron available, please let me know, 'cos if I didn't have to use stone picks all the time it'd make building this 10x10x4500 tunnel easier.
just ask for mob drops, we can make a deal
and forget the iron, find something to trade for emeralds, then get the diamond picks from the traders at spawn
I have a feeling people are taking from the free iron, pumpkin, melon, and sugar farms and just trading the stuff to villagers for emeralds already.

Sugar? Definitely. Me and the librarians have a... deal.
Not as awesome as the Priests can be, though. There's one who really likes me- I traded essentially my entire stock of zombie flesh to him- any time he ran out of emeralds, I'd trade for some glowstone or lapis till he ran out of that, then he'd start trading flesh again- but there was more flesh trading than the others, so I came out with a net positive of emeralds, plus some nice glowstone and lapis.
@IanSturrock- are we gonna do a square tunnel? I was thinking we'd do a round one.

Round, aye. And probably 11 squares diameter rather than 10? That way there are 5 squares on each side of the 1x1 rail support in the middle. I quite fancy cleanstone for the rail support -- what do you think? Or do we want to go super fancy, given the apparent abundance of iron, and go AFK for long enough to get 4500 blocks of iron? I mean, this is kind of a long-term project, given that we are not yet at 4500 x 2 x 1.
AFK won't work. The iron farm is in the Spawn chunks, and so is loaded 24/7 anyways as long as the server is up.
Cleanstone works- we could do slabs as well. I'm thinking no powered rails, so we won't have to worry about those (because powered rails would mess up the ability to do proper trains- and all that gold...)
What about pillars? Could be cool to do quartz or obsidian.
Actually, thinking about it, Obsidian might be a good idea for the rail support as well, just in case of creepers below the tracks. I've got a pile of it mined up already, and whole pools of lava I'm planning on emptying out.

Yep, early on Saturday I believe. I just did it as part of the usual server restart.
Sweet!
When I comeback to the server after my time is a bit freer. I will start working at spawn and trying to build a special place. Such as a library of the players histories or something written in minecraft's books such as history or lore of the server
From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.

Say what? how do powered rails mess up the ability to do proper trains?
Turn up the power, or it would be faster to walk than take a unpowered cart you can go minimal at 1 powered for every 60 and take 690 seconds, but at 1 powered every 32 meters, you can go your 4k trip in 500 seconds
I'm talking about using a Powered Cart to push upwards of 6 or more chest carts (and maybe passenger carts too) in front of it. That way you can set up cool loading and unloading stations based on track switching and piston systems to do the whole thing at once- as well as automated destination choice (using a 'key' item in the lead car with item-specific hopper locks). Using powered rails means that each cart is going to have varying speed in relation to each other and be non-contiguous.
Though it occurs to me now that we may want to do a proper 2-rail setup- one side going North and one side going South, to avoid potential collisions.

Also, keep in mind that we have free iron on the server from the spawn farm, and Ralphy has a gold farm (though I'm not sure if/when he's willing to trade.)

32 is also easy because all you need to do is cut your 64 iron rails by half.
2 tracks would be good. I still like an 11 x 11 tunnel though. How about 2 obsidian track supports at blocks 5 and 7 (going left to right), so there's a 1-block gap between them? We can have them connected by obsidian blocks every 5 blocks or so, too. It *should* in theory be possible to make obsidian in a long 3-wide pattern using dirt molds, and then mine out the areas we don't want it (and use that mined obsidian for the pillars).
Thing is, casting the obby means we can only build it in lengths of 10 or so blocks (assuming we're doing both sides of the track at once) due to lava buckets not stacking. Whereas pre-mined Obsidian can be carried in full stacks.
Having them on either side of the central line sounds keen, though.

or you guys could mine the obby that's inside my wall that I need removed for my beautification project, there should be about 2,000 blocks of obby in there.
the obsidian layer is behind the stone brick layer on the non-detailed exterior, there are also a few stacks in one of the chests in the sandstone shack. as an FYI, only the south and west gates are working at the moment. if food is needed the wood hut to the south is an auto-melon farm.
Hey Asherian, congrats on your nice, shiney new direct-tunnel to the Nether Hub Network. Signs, decoration and orientation are up to you, though I'd like to organize the tunnel to line up with one of the alcoves or walls in the East Tunnel.
But now you can get back to spawn quicky, (relatively) safely, and with a minimum of consulting your maps!

We are talking about needing like 10,000+ blocks of obsidian though. Say 13,500 ish including support pillars. That's a considerable amount... I guess it's only 9 or 10 diamond picks, though, as compared to 450 water and lava pours. Yeah, OK.

Just gotta remember the travel time, too. We can't go stealing all the lava from the scenic bits we're going through, and even then, it's sometimes a good 2 or 3 minutes of running between lava pools.
Speaking of running, I'm to about -2200, and at the point where it's faster for me to run back to StormWarriors' base, go through his portal, to my portal, to get back home. What's your progress?

Not much better than it was -- maybe -3500? I've been helping Jambayemon finish off his mansion lately, but I finally finished the roof of the wizard tower yesterday, so I will be back at it soon! Will happily do the rest to -2200 if you like, then we've done half each. That's at 2x1 obviously... expanding to 11x11 round will take a while!
Ooh yeah. I might get started with the 11x11 if you want, then. That and start collecting the obsidian. We'll have to work out a good rail and pillar structure- figure out how far apart to make the individual columns, if we want any embellishment, etc. etc.

This is Jambayemon's mansion btw -- quite pleased with the look of it! Design mostly by him, building work by both of us. The wizard tower inevitably has an enchanting room in it. Main house includes a one-use secret escape tunnel...
I've not been to Spawn for... years, possibly! I hear there are lots of cool things there now though.
