I got a bottom layer on ultrapit and then it friggin ignited. I even covered all the lava holes but it still went off. I think we will need to put down a nice cover of rock before we start building it up.

Just because it's weird to see something circular in a square-block world. :D

It's a 3-block deep pit that is completely grass covered. No purpose (yet).
Nice!
I just finished tiling the ground floor of my building. Takes forever when you have to lay 2 blocks per block (half steps are smoother in appearance, and actually look like tiles).
I'm thinking I want some artwork in the floor, or a more interesting tile pattern, but for now it works.
There's a give code to give you double-stacked half steps. I think it's 43.Quote:

Almost happened to me. My spawn is right next to that water filled hole a short walk east of the Sharky sign.Quote:

Man I wish I could, but I can't break blocks OR place them in/around that hole. I don't know if it's because there's so much going on there (tons of water routing), but nothing functions in that area. The only thing I can do is slowly make my way up a waterfall and pray I don't wander out of the downstream and fall back down.Quote:

It's the area I spawn, right near the Lincoln memorial... kinda between that and the TNT chests. You can't miss it, there's a ton of effing water flowing into it and it goes all the way to the bedrock.Quote:

@Monroeski - good idea, I will keep a boat in my inv and see if I'm able to place it next time I have to /home.
As far as I can tell, the way it works now is there is a "protected" (no digging/placing blocks) area of approximately(?) 32x32 which is the spawn point for everyone.Quote:

And it appears admins and ops are allowed to place blocks in the safe area.
Drops me in the exact same spot every time.Quote:

Working on sopping up the water and making a nice clean obsidian landing pad for /home now between projects at work. Sometimes I love my job.
*Edit: done. Hopefully that is the spot everyone has been landing at. If not, Kama can take care of the other/s. :)
Hey just wanted to mention that I was demoing an area next to my building and a piece of TNT made it over to the tracks and blew a chunk out :o I'll take care of that :D:DQuote:
