That's probably because it's useless except for decoration. You can't feed it to horses or sheep or cows, can't craft it back into the 9 wheat, it's not blast resistant or affected by gravity or fireproof...

Sorry to tell you this, but unless the wiki is wrong, you can craft them into wheat again, and use it on horses (only for healing though). I'm not at my computer right now, so I can't physically make sure, but I figure the wiki is a good enough source.

Well that's new, I suppose. Or I was just plain wrong.

Oh well, I only messed with it once and never really touched them after thar, so I can't blame you.

There are quite a few of both at the Mountain Crown.

You can just make out some of them at https://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/3266/64/-2285/max/0/0 though the camera angle has conspired to hide most of the bales I have around the place.

Surprised just how big my area I've been working in has grown now.

Looks good! My place has been growing slowly but surely:

And it'll grow even more impressive looking once we flesh out the rail, which is at the moment just a single half-slab wide.

Oh, and there's three secondary villages surrounding City of Ghost, do we want to do anything with them?

Was thinking we should turn them in to differently styled suburbs for City of Ghost-- a plains village, a desert village, and a treehouse vilage, perhaps?

I still think you should work on getting your Orthanc up to full scale. Don't even need to remove all the obby you've put down so far- just build up around it.

Nice! I love the beach towels.

Aye, they really make the beach look alive.

It's hard to see as well but there's a lone sand block and flower pot among them as a sand castle as well.

So I logged on and spotted something at spawn today (of course it's probably been there for months or something):


I'm not the messiah!

Who built it?

I can't find it on the map. Is it hidden behind the giant Dakka Dakka sign?

Yah, it's behind the Dakka sign, you can see the head poking out a bit. There's a couple more next to the arena and a few more at the Bean Land entrance.

They were built by one of the Dutch, JMCraft or Crafterno, maybe another of them, I forget which one.

Hah, knew it!

Spoiler:

ya that was a lot of months ago. I think it was the jmccraft who became tiger craft who built them. he did the 4 at my tower as well, and made the mural in the pit.

I have upgraded my 'Chicken trenches' at Spawn. The chickens in them now lay eggs, that get put into dispensers, that fire into a pool of water that drowns them when they grow up (similar to the lava-based cooked chicken farm). The raw chicken and feathers are then item-elevatored upwards to a couple of chests by the trenches. Everything's decently prettied up, but it's not perfect- let me know before you try to change it, though, because some of the 'decoration' actually has redstone based on it.

I should probably have turned the whole thing the other way around, though, come to think of it- I wonder if I could re-direct stuff....

Anyways- free raw chicken and more feathers, to trade with the butchers at Spawn's trading hall. It's a little loud there, though at least the auto-dispensers don't fire unless they've got eggs in them.

Nice one Anvil, thanks for that.

And the Darkinnit statue is fantastic -- gonna have to head to Spawn and check it out in person.

Just noticed that Ian's reply was #20,000. For being nearly 5 years old, this thread has come far.

All Hail the Minecraft thread!

Interesting things are afoot, skeletons are going to be scary. So how about upping the difficulty to hard now



Spoiled the video in case some people want to be surprised when the new stuff comes out.

Because skeletons weren't annoying enough already?

Ye gods, I'm cringing at the thought my first encounter with a retreating skeleton with a Punch enchantment. Especially since I get lag so I can't be fancy about it.

I'm not sure, but this update really seems to try and push me away from survival!

All the more reason for me to resume work constructing and fortifying my island mountain castle.

I wonder if those skeletal horses are tameable?
