It's back up. Local spawn area has animals and what not. Enjoy.Quote:

That's an impressive sharky sign! Makes me want to return the orientation of the map to what it used to be. (With north lower-left).
I like the new server much better than the previous borked one. It had it's charm, but this is much better I think.

OMG... We have a village! Did someone build that? Or is that NPC's? :D (Lower right of the map)

We (me, monroeski, taggart) visited the village last night after I saw it on the map. :)
Regarding the orientation of the map, pretty much everything we built last night was in that mountain more or less below the S of the sign. Which means you can't see any of it. :p
Zomg, village! I built an apartment complex for everyone in our mountain home last night. Right now there are only 8 rooms, but there is enough space for more as we need them.
As I was telling everyone last night, nobody shares a wall (room walls are 2-blocks thick), so you will be able to change out the walls in your room to be whatever material you want and it won't affect your neighbor. To claim a room, just write your name on the sign beside the door!
Added a second story and waterfall to my pad. :cool:Quote:

find out today that people can look at enderman with pumpkin heads on.
I also want a wolf. How many wolfs can you tame and have people found any yet?
Just saw this:

If we must mod the server's animals in some way, it should be in this way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiEOR7tV4eI
Dino mod FTW!

I'm going to seriously need to upgrade the server the way you people are talking. :p
I cleaned up the area around the front of the base and around the doors. As much as possible, I tried to make it so everything goes up or down only 1 block at a time (or has steps), so if you're being chased to the door, you don't have to worry about hitting a wall that you can't jump up or an edge that'll hurt to fall down.
I also put walkways on both sides of the water and some bridges across, so you don't get held up in the water flows, either.
I took the cavern that was underneath the floor (but accessible from the front, under the window) and added a door to it, so we have another decent sized room there now, too. I put a workbench and furnaces in there, too. :)

we need a suicide command to respawn in cases where we get stuck. ImpulseX had the issue a few min ago.
ALso, any one want to move the portal closer to the "base" so we can give it its own room. I was thinking that once we do that, we can work on setting up a transportation portal system. We can go to the nether, build a base out of stone, and then setup portals that are spaced out. This should create drop points that are much farther away in the terra world and thus expanding out travel ability greatly.
Thoughts?
I'd be up to creating a portal room.
Is it possible to move the current portal? I'm not sure how all that world linkage is handled.
Portals work not exactly like you'd expect (if you are me, at least).
"Let's say on SMP you make a portal from the overworld into the Nether, which builds you a portal there automatically when you step through. Now let's say you go back to the overworld and walk 800 blocks away and build another portal. When you step through this portal, you'll be back to the same original portal in the Nether."
(from http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/co...lained_or_why/ which does a pretty good job of explaining how it works)
The good news is, this means we can just move the one we have now and it will probably continue going to the same place. The bad news is, creating a room full of portals to different places is way more complex than it sounds.
The reason why I set the portal away from the base is because the sound it makes can be ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING. I had one in my house in single player and it pissed me off.
That said, if you guys want it in the base, breaking it down and rebuilding it is entirely doable (remember to use diamond picks!) and the distance it'll be moved won't move the Nether-side portal at all.
Or we just keep expanding the base until the portal IS in the base. :pQuote:

Every 1 nether steps is 8 Terra steps so I think something like every 30 nether paces we place a portal. This would allow us to fast travel around Terra since the area would be sprinkled with portals.Quote:

We could give it its own room located in another area of the base, or at least make it a little more accessible.Quote:
