Surely making such defenses wouldn't take much time at all.

Anyway, I'd want to know if the server is going to be reset at all or if it's even being considered. I want to complete the south tunnel expansion that leads faaar faaar away into what I believe is unexplored land (about 30,000 blocks away, I think) and build a portal there once the update happens. I'm fine with wasting my time for little gain but I'd want some gain at least.

Yes, and no. I was trying to keep them nicely designd and blend them into my islands overall look.

I'm not sure I'd a reset planned, it's a big update but alas, dark has not seemed to reveal all to his good citizens yet.

And

Melons, seeds in abandoned mines etc.

Cacti, desert biomes.

Oh creepers are insanely annoying. For any players on any format!

Villages someone times spawn strangely. It's par for course and entirely normal on a game like minecraft. If same still works you can heal zombie villagers, get two and set up a breeder.

Creepers are utter witches. They spawn everywhere and destroy structures.

Yep. I think your mobs are spawning on your slopes and such areas, you may want to light and maybe add some garden terraces in there to reduce spawn spots. Also means you can use the awkward land.

A nice bit of green and flowers be a contrast to your stone monoliths.

Or.... More fortifications?

removed

Eh? I don't understand...what is horrifying about that? Was your base moved against your will at Osiris' behest? Who is being arrogant? Osiris?

This is the first I've ever heard of this. If you're having a personal feud with one particular person, I don't see how that reflects on the rest of the players on the server.

Aye... Only time Dark moves bases about is.. I think the map resets. I Don, t think he moves bases for fun or so. And not because someone else asked to move lands they do not own.

Hey all,

I'm still here, don't worry, I am keeping an eye on the upcoming update

I haven't made any kind of decision either way about what to do about the new terrain generation in oceans. On the one hand an entire world reset usually ends up being a lot of work as I don't like to leave people's hard work behind and want to preserve it by bringing it over into the new world. However to keep the current world and only reset oceans would likely be an equal amount of effort as coastlines are not straight and many people build on coastlines.

To quote Slartibartfast: "Won an award, you know. Lovely crinkly edges ... doing the coastlines was my favorite. Used to have endless fun doing the little bits in the fjords."

The meaning of life is 42

I know I'm newer, and hey, well you keep strict vanilla but maybe a CB to say 100k and a second spawn site, that means we can have best of both worlds and let people go o it and seek new lands and keep old.

You would still have to go to the spawns to travel and no direct travel from anyones home.

Okay, so slight issue with my terraforming, no mycelium for the islands I hope to build. I'm going to rough them out in dirt in a SP server.....

Oh, by the way, has anyone seen osiris recently. He's not been responding to any pm's I've written, asking about contact. Really weird.

Is that his Dakka name?
Or MC as I've not seen him on, granted I've not been on tons but not seen that name?

Yep - same name on minecraft and Dakka. Not sure about what to do here now, not going to touch his house, as it is not my property, but the initial terraform will be within about 50 blocks of his house, after proper calculation.

Il be honest, that's a very close cut to Terra form too, change and build up to.

50 blocks is pretty damn close. Can, t you kinda cut round or so and leave them a wider gap?

Yeah, that's the issue, that it's still so damn close, within 1 biome of my original build, even after dark moved it originally. I wasn't going to extend, but after the new update, I'm interested in placing some new stuff, just to make a better looking area, It'd be either that, or move my home area out to the edge of the world or to a quieter area, I can't really go north, as Osh's base is there, east and west is huge ocean biomes which require fairly extensive terraforming and filling to deal with, So south is really the only option. But again, that involves another player's base, and I don't really want to antagonise other people.

Southern sea I want to turn into my viewing area for the reefs.

ah well, maybe I shouldn't go down what I want to do

Maybe if you wait till 1.13 and trek out a good few klicks beyond land known and then ask nicely to have you base dropped in wilderness?

Then you have all thr land you want if your deep in the middle of nowhere.

Sure abit remote and have to build a nether link but small price for fresh new land.

Probably what I'm going to do. 1.13 if we get a world reset and walk 10 minecraft days out, then drop the base.

This gold farm is proving very useful - one needs to get ones worth out though.

Aye. It's certainly a impressive and handy machine.
The new updates may make the machines intresting to say the least. Auto killing sea beacon things.

Ooohhhhh
Now if only we could get water into the Nether :think:

Very tricky....

very...

short of outright hacking, glitching and so.

Melting ice might be only slim, super slim odds we have of that. thats if it even lasts...
Plus for damage the enemy has to 8 or so blocks from the conduit core. in water...

i have been going at a good pace tearing down my old place to build a new and more improved place nearby.

My old place has a lot of obsidian that i do not need so if someone needs any they can take down what they want.

I think there is around 2k blocks worth.

I am all about obsidian - I'm looking to double the height of my tower: https://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/3779/64/-521/-1/0/0

Where are you keeping it?

Your one building mini isingard... Impressive place

Better watch out for your Orcs zombie army.
Stoney shore shall never yield to the Orc lol

The ONLY way to get water in the Nether is to put it in a cauldron, and unfortunately I don't think that works as a liquid block for obby conversion.

Best way, honestly, is just to make a ton of buckets and fill shulker boxes full of lava buckets, then make a conversion/mining station in the overworld.

Or just mine it from the End towers after killing the dragon. There's a TON of obby there. It's where I got most of mine.

if you need food while breaking blocks the melon shack is still functional, it just looks like hell as i needed to look at the internals to be able to replicate it en masse.

Thanks! I'll warm up my diamond pick.

the gold farm will work fine for 1.13 and I'll figure out how to get some turtle eggs into it will make it more efficient. The mob farms with a water elevator are going to break as undead mobs will no longer swim.

I reckon that sea beacon would make a fine new addition to a mob grinder.

it's still cheaper just to wash mobs into cacti then fiddle with the sea beacon. Unless the beacon drops xp

STILL NO SEADATE DAMMIT!
