Well, no worries then, I'll set the server up tomorrow and leave it on for you guys. I've got an early lecture tomorrow so I wont be able to monitor it and give OP powers to any one new who joins. Chi and Bfun, it'll be up to you to give them blocks if they need.
That would require a hell of a lot of sand. A web would look pretty cool. I've got a bank of furnaces making glass for my undersea expansion. @Armitage, well no one new has actually bought minecraft yet so the server will still be quiet for a while yet. Also what time is your tomorrow?
Ummm, well in about 7 hours from this post time. Uhh, so like at 8pm for you I think? @GOD DAMNIT! I just realised my net doesn't reset till the day AFTER the new month has started. So no MC tomorrow... or today for you rather.
At last, some fame for your neck of the woods. From the sounds of it, Notch has ribose some pretty high tax on his earnings.
So are you guys building stuff together? I for one would like some purdy pictures to accompany the running commentary if poss.
well, me, armitage and bfun are. It's slow going cos the server isn't up 24/7. I've posted the stuff we've done so far, the skull head entrance and the hall with the pillars. Should get some more pics when we're back on tomorrow. This is an infinite water pool My primary centre of operations, with the centre stairway leading to my underground tree farm and a whole lot of materials in the chests. Skylight My tree farm
Played on a random server tonight, managed to get a pretty epic sized tree growing out of my little mudhouse. I also had many secret rooms and many, many hidden chests.
My glass web idea. I started really high at sea level but then as I went inland it got closer to the ground. I fell off the thing 4 times and then realized scaffolding was a better idea than trying to lay the glass in front of me.
How much glass have youused for that? I've noticed you've got your view distance on either small or tiny but you sill have fancy graphics turned on?
Wut? I don't know. It used to be on large. I assumed a storm was rolling in or something like that. Glass? Well I made about 64x5 cubes in two days. I'm in an area with a lot of trees and sand so it wasn't too difficult. Spent a day getting wood and a day getting sand then put the 3 ovens to work. I noticed I didn't pick the best place to start but my spawn was near a huge body of water so I didn't have much of a choice. The good ground was a long ways away. Once I get down deep enough it doesn't really matter. I think my next challenge will be building an under sea aquarium. Is there any trick to find ore? I assumed it was just random.
You must have hit the F key by accident, that toggles view distance. It is pretty random, I tend to dig tunnels with a vertical gap of two blocks as you can see what these blocks are in the floor and ceiling. The fun method though, is with TNT. You should build a mod trap and pretty soon you should be rolling in sulphur and other mob drops.
I'll dry my moat up and do a proper trap. I've actually lit so many torches in the woods that the mob doesn't spawn anywhere near my house right now. I also found a pumpkin patch and scored about 8 pumkins which I've turned into jack-o-lanterns and put in the woods.
I once found 3 squid in a 3x4x1 block of water in a cave system, t'was unexpected, I thought they were spiders at first because I didn't have any sound on.
I am currently playing Minecraft on a Dutch (only) server. It has loads of buildings and cities. I helped build the Milenium Falcon at some point. What is the adres of the PVCF3 server? Would love to see that. My current project is de NES version of Corneria city with the castle.
The "PVC" server is kinda temporary as it's only on whenever Armitage has his laptop on. As such, it's about 2 days old. It would be nice to have a permanent one. On the random server I was playing on, I grew a pretty big tree on my mudhut. A guy glitched off his bed My own world here, and my lava room with a funky little waterfall into my cave Long drop? What long drop? Oh! This long drop!
