So, uh, how many Nether Fortresses does one person need? I just found my 3rd

Need? just 1 for a blaze farm.

They do tend to be common if you just want to raid them for horse armor

the loots good at leastt, gold, etc

3 sets of diamond horse armour, 5 of gold, many more of iron, 7 saddles
Some diamonds too.

Nice. Ernough to armour a cavalry regiment!

Good haul.

The only problem is finding your way home!

So any of ya'all heard about the "cubic Chunks" mod? Allows for infinite terrain generation in the Y axis as well as X and Z.

I NEEED it.

I've seen a server video of someone testing one that I think was custom made.

Its basically like layers and layers of islands floating with all diffrent biome, water falls, layers, lots of mobs and such.

Maybe similar. I don't care about fancy stuff, tho- I'd be perfectly happy with a setup that has no upper build limit, or lower dig limit.

theres likely a mod that just removes chunk height, probbly be for somthing like a 1.7 to 8 version though, many mods are for older version.

and not quite updated yet but progress grows on the experimenal spawn building,

https://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/-901/64/-821/-1/0/0

instructions on how to get there on previous page.

The experimental spawn building looks like a good start but it is too flat and feels dull.I think adding a bit of depth to the flat faces would really make it pop.

https://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/-2574/64/-1208/-1/0/0

This is my current progress on my new places. As you can see by adding a few details to the outside of some basic shapes it really changes the look of things.

Are we starting over?

I just finished my pit!

With 1.14 we considered idea of working on a second sub spawn In New chunks. This was a experimental spawn that could house most basics in a single fairly easy to build structure.

Just a experimental idea.

1.14 meant to be nearer q2 I hered on one site.

Aye it is. I was going to add more details to it, cut in windows with stairs, modify the front walls with more details and such.

Bear in mind that blank wall is the rear walls, and you will not be able to see the boring and functional slab clad roof for mob protection. There is no lights as the black glass on vanilla seems almost to vanish at night making it feel very open.

This was by far not finished. It lacks central floors, windows, and much more. This is outer walls, I have basic wood floors on wings In and the basic form the stairs cases up.

Solar Auxiliary forces i don't think exist anymore.

The elite guardsmen that was active in Great crsade to Heresey/

Mistake post.

You can ignore it. It was meant for the extinct regiments topic in 40k fluff

Does anyone have a totem of undying they would be interested in trading? Got a map from one of my cartographers but 4 hours into the trip there I got distracted and instead came back with 7 parrots. But at least I have all of them now.

Just seeing if anyone would before I head back out on the trip again as it'd save time since I just want one to toss into an item frame and hang on the wall.

You could try visiting the mansion far, far, far along the south tunnel, a half hour trip through the nether I think. The sign on the way says the mansion is empty but it's not unless someone finished it off in the last couple months. Just follow the grey brick road. The mansion should have at least 1 evoker, possibly 2, still alive behind blocked doorways on the upper floors.

I could trade you a doll for 16-32 diamonds if you really don't want to make the trip.

Damn, how far out did you get? I thought you had found the place.

Turns out I'd just lined up the X axis at 1.6k. The Z axis though, I got out to about -30k and then there was the ocean; I had picked up 7 parrots on the way and had one of each colour at least with me so I figured it would probably be better to just return with those parrots instead.

Okay. The doll is in a chest on top of an ender chest in the stone shop at the Spawn market.

Alright, I'll jump on and toss the diamonds in now. Just got home so good timing.

Edit: Alright just made the trade, thanks

Upgrades the building abit..

Now with pedaments, some planting and Dakka themed Black and orange carpeting, a table and some rugs in bedrooms.

Gotta do up the central pedaments, the rear back walls and such but we got progress on making it less of a stone cube!

So erm... What have I missed thinking about getting back into minecraft while i am inbetween renderings for my own game o.o

Eh, not much. Apparently there's another Dwarven kingdom going up more towards the West. Spawn's got a couple nice new buildings. I'm still working on my walls, the usual.

God you need to get someone to help with that or something to bot your computer so it does it for you....

Not to encourage cheating but I think you could pay some people on here with diamonds. Or go to my base grab some diamond pick axes that I have laying around on some villagers and bang!

New. Maybe bar the parrots, lamas and such passive mobs.
None others though new I think.

Bar maybe husks, strays, polar bears but depends how long you been off.

I mean, part of it has just been me not playing Vanilla for a while. I can knock out a significant section of wall in a couple hours if I have the materials at hand. Half the time nowadays is getting to the working end of the Tunnel to start mining rock and cobble.

Really? Husks, STrays and polar bears... thats new to me!

And concrete too?

Shesh i did miss a bunch...

@Anvil you could always cut down the amount of work and decrease the size a small bit.



Also will we ever reset the server like we did last time or what? Or is there not going to be a significant update for us to warrant that?

I know we could possibly reload chunks if we really wanted to and have some new generation. Which would be nice considering how much new stuff has been added.

HERESY!

Also, almost all of the new stuff is non-gen. About the only thing is the Igloos, which aren't too exciting.

Now, when they make the Ocean update live, that might require a little re-loading. Or not. I suppose for the coral, but the other stuff is mostly mechanical, I think.

Well I am in an area of the older stone and all that o.o plus the end seems to be completely explored :/ which is kind of a pain. As everything for a 1k block radius in the end was completely explored o.o

Heresy indeed!

I am thinking about cutting down my build so that I am just building my barracks and rebuilding some of my infrastructure as I am seem to have lost half of my villagers sometime in the past year.
