Well, SirRalphy/sirlynchmob said he had a librarian that could sell them for 16 emeralds, says it was simple to get. I haven't visited to see it yet though, since I've no need for it when losing high level items to the void of The End is too great.

I think I'll let the spawn villager farm start creating villagers and try to get a librarian at spawn with the effect, though likely not as cheap.

So I can't use your bridges, yet you have no problems coming to my house and using my trading hall. Interesting.

I got a better one at 10 emeralds now and they're more common than frost walker 3 is.

put it on the elytra's, I've been flying around my tower today and it's just great fun.

I've also heard tell that you can get them pretty commonly through fishing- use Luck of the Sea to get more stuff instead of fish, though.

Yeah fishing looks to be a great source of Mending, especially Mending Bows and Mending Rods.

Unfortunately with my high ping it's next to impossible to use an AFK auto-fishing farm, otherwise I'd be fishing those bad boys from the depths like no ones business!

Looks neat.

So here's something I just found out- Apparently Purpurite is an actual mineral. Manganese Phosphate, and it is, in fact, purple in color.

Go figure.

Also, apparently iron bars and glass panes, when put down singly, are little thin rods, much like End Rods- which can be stacked into single long 'strands' of light.

There's just all sorts of interesting stuff you can do with things now- I watched a video from a guy named Grian about 1.9 Update Building Tricks and Tips.


I'm also having slight issues with Java- updated, hope that helps my Minecraft run again.

my creeper door finally claimed a victim, and of course it was my wife

In honor of this epic event, the gold farm is free to the public (except shoe of course) til I can fix the damage she did to my door. The funniest part is, she had all the stuff to fix the farm for 1.9 when the door got her but it should be updated today.

Enjoy

Wooohooo! Can you post us an update once it's no longer free, please?

will do

Popped onto the server for the first time in a while. 1) Damn does the game run bad now, weird. 2)"Huh, all my stuff's still here...".

Till there's another wipe I'll probably stay off, though the next major Biome update's presumably a way's off. Was the last wipe not shorted though? Looking at the patches the latest server's been up since 2013 right?

The only reasons there were wipes was because of terrain generation changes- but Mojang figured things out, and now new terrain updates will properly mesh with old worlds- there won't be any more wipes due to terrain generation (remember the old Border Cliffs?)- the last terrain update, which gave us the Ocean temples and the new stone types happened while we had this world, and we just went and re-generated some of the further-out chunks to get them.

I though all they did was chuck new updated areas into non generated chunks.

Basicly anything new will require quite a long teck into the unknown to find

That's what I said?...

The difference is that now, those new updated areas in non-generated chunks mesh properly with the existing terrain, instead of having big sheer square cliffs of 'version border'.

I have opened up a new shop, located between the rainbow gate and the giant pick.

For 1 diamond you can get a diamond pick with either
a: efficiency 5, unbreaking 3, silk touch, and mending
b: efficiency 5, unbreaking 3, fortune 3, and mending

or a book with the new enchantments, mending and frostwalker 2.

the mending picks last forever, the fortune one repairs itself and can gain durability while you use it, or if either get low, just head to your favorite xp farm. I of course recommend the gold farm, it got updated to 1.9 today so it's running properly again.

Enjoy

Welp, just starting the major underwater section of my tunnel. The normal water sections took a bit of effort, but it looks like the ocean area will require slow and steady reclaiming from the water.

I'm in the market as well for lots of sand or glass. Preferably 2 double chests worth. I will pay with either emeralds (5 blocks of emeralds) or a single diamond.

I could hook you up with gravel and a silk touch shovel.

I've got enough gravel for the reclamation, just need sand/glass to do the canopy...

Is anyone else having problems with nether portals? sometimes when I go through I end up in a random location, usually buried, and no where near where the portal should take me

Yeah, that happened to me twice about a week ago, though it's accompanied with getting kicked from the server, after which I log back it to suffocate in sand.

Lotet can you save the sand for Doctadeth please? Filling your lungs with it is a waste of potential glass.

I've updated my vending machine

For 1 diamond you can get:
a: pick, efficiency 5, unbreaking 3, silk touch, and mending
b: pick, efficiency 5, unbreaking 3, fortune 3, and mending
c. axe, efficiency 5, sharpness 5, unbreaking 3, fortune 3, and mending. that's 12 damage at 1 second.
d. shovel efficiency 5, unbreaking 3, silk touch, and mending

I'm still selling the mending and frost walker 2 boots in the chest with the instructions in it. just leave a diamond in that chest and take the book you'd like.

... Yeah, I'm gonna get myself a pick and axe. Maybe a shovel too.

Might get me a shovel, just for harvesting all the sand I need.

Is there any difference between an Efficiency 5 and 4 Shovel? Don't they both instantly dig everything you can dig?

Not that I expect ralphy in particular to resist going all out on enchants.

Iv is nigh instant. V is insane. 3 is very fast.

Iv -v to sandstone is able to qaurey out a inventory of stone and sandstone in a single Minecraft day. That's filling about a double chest in two Minecraft days, 4-5 Minecraft days you could was fill two doubles.
(I play on another server and have been using a wide range of enchants mass produced via a spawner built under my castles outer courtyard . )

Sure, but I was talking about Shovels specifically. Can't dirt, sand, soul sand, gravel, etc all be instantly dug with Efficiency IV Shovels?

Urgh auto correct.

Sand. Sand phone. 3 is fast. Iv high instant. V is insane.
I went sand digging and could gather large say 1000+ sand in a Minecraft day if I left at just dawn rising from my gates and leaving as sun set.

15 ish stacks maybe in a quick time with 3-4. Maybe more if you care not for the state you leave the desert or organised qaurry operations.

Sorry about that. But sand stone is highly fast with iv -v pick. Like a full invent of sand stone in a day if your well prepared and got all the sand cleared before hand.

Dirt in dirt form very fast at higher level and you can eat through it pretty quick.
Grass slower to clear the top green blocks.
Soul sand is untested as I'm not a nether expert.

I know that Eff III will basically melt dirt, but gravel takes a lot longer comparatively. Not sure how the higher levels fare on gravel.

they do, but there's no point in just going for 4, when 5 is just as easy to do. It's simply a matter of choice on what trader I talk to. You can't call a eff 4 shovel a god shovel, when you know there's a higher level

eff 3 will instant mine dirt, as long as there's no grass on the block.

and at 1 diamond it's a steal, you can spend the diamond to make a shovel and hope for a ok enchantment on it, or you can get a god one. The choice is yours.

Dark, would you mind if I build a elantra launch pad on top of the dakka sign? it will basically be a nerd pole at Y250 with a platform at the top and a ender chest.

Or if you think the server could handle it, I could do cow launchers, but 4 would have to be built, 1 in each direction. and each launcher would need 100+ cows but again I'd want to build it at Y240, it would shoot you up 100+ more and you'd have a great time flying.

You could build a full nicely themed elytra launch tower. Something like a Skybax roost would probably work.

Never tested gravel oddly. Sand, dirt and grass yes. Where I live on that server has a massive desert next door and I needed 4.8k + sand stone. I know the speeds on sand!
