Minecraft Thread X: In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the ... SSSSSSSS

[druid91]

Alright, I'm currently planning out a massive technological fortress/academy.

redstone contraptions galore, potion making, libraries (No enchanting though),

Thus far I plan on building a disposals system that consists of conveyer belts to a furnace, a large potions room, a conservatory, Some form of space cannon that launches you straight up into a hovering space station built as high as humanly possible....

Any ideas?

New page posting of sign up sheet.

Is there any plugin that can be added to the server that duplicates the Treecapitator/Timber! mods?

Having to whac-a-mole at leaves to find hidden wood blocks stopping decay when a tree cut down is a major pain...

[The Bushranger]

Construction of my NPC village is underway.

First structure: well, the well.
Second: St. Creeper's of Inconsequentia.

God yes. It's the thing I hate most about resource gathering. My farm is built to minimize that, but it still happens on occasion. Terrible.

You guys know that with three of the four tree types, there are no branches? And you can get wood from all four? Unless you specifically want that color of wood plank or log, no reason not to switch over to pine or birch.

It comes up a great deal when clearing land. It's the most common type, it appears.

Now yeah, I can tweak my farm to use the other kinds(and in fact, I do plant them too), but I do need all four tree types from time to time, and clearing land is a big factor for me.

Clear it with Fire
WITH FIRE!


In all seriousness, if you have strange leaf blocks hanging in the air, it should be perfectly safe to do this. After the nerf, fire can only jump 1 block of air down or horizontally and four blocks of air up.

How does one actually use the telerune?

EDIT: Nevermind, spotted a video about it.

EDIT2: This... is a lot of houses. Holy crap am I lost. Are we sure the person who built this wasn't half-cthulu?

Duh.
But, as pointed out, oaks are everywhere naturally.
Plus, having the whole tree drop when you knock out the bottom block of wood is handy, both from saving time and effort and not having to pillar up to get the last block or two on tall trees.

The trouble begins when we want to get all the wood.

To whoever domesticated a lot of cats and put them in the residential district of New Rome, near the 9-block permenant bonfire:

I was sprinting out of my house there and accidentally pushed one in. I believe it was orange.



On another note, I believe it was said that if one could show that they could get a significant amount of materials in the main world, they could be spawned for a project in RPworld? A chest containing a portion of such materials (for building the geode-egg) is at (1273, 70, 399). I already have the necessary excavation tools. CAn I have the coordinates of an appropriate large hill or small mountain in RPworld to hollow?

LittleRaven (ShortOne on the forums) and Hometruck have joined my Ironcraft team, for the reunification of team One Foot Three.

[druid91]

So Eldest, How about it, team?

What were we last time? Team Wild or something?

[Eldest]

Close enough. Who was the third member? I can't recall.

We're sure he's not half-cthulhu, yes ....

[Draconi Redfir]

Something we should look into

Croverus. Though I don't know if he's joining in this time.

MCEdit is not the tool you are looking for. It requires shutting down the server. I actually recently installed a biome editor. Admins: //bm

Does MCEdit actually require shutting down the whole server, or just taking the map in question offline temporarily?

I was under the impression that fire spreading was disabled on the multiplayer server?

I mean, I'm perfectly ok with fire for clearing things, but if it's disabled...

We do not use MCedit. There is another tool that does not require a shutdown.

Taking the map off, but that's quite a hassle to do so. Especially when plugins can mimic it.

Was more of a technical curiosity than a query as to how our server operated, sorry for the confusion.

[The Bushranger]

Hmm. I seem to have realised a possible problem with the village I've built on Terra.

Namely, the fact that it's close enough to Bigcastle that the Testificates are likely to be able to pathfind their way there...

I suppose building a three-block-high wall along the Bigcastle sides of the village would prevent them from moving in there?

Ironcraft competition is open!

Theme is "Ponds, lakes, and puddles". That is to say, the build will need to relate to one of those things in the area.


Three rules to follow: 1) always have the diamond/gold/iron block setup with your sign on in somewhere. You can move it around as you like, just have it there for judges to use. 2) Try to stay inside the glass floating square, but it's alright to go some blocks out from it if you need or want to. No more than 8 blocks out from the boundary however. The glass ring near the ground can be removed if you choose. 3) Please keep the build within reason. This means don't build up higher than 20-30 blocks tall, don't change the lake shape too badly, don't dig too far under, etc.

Those rules are specific to this contest, and don't make up all the rules to be followed. One such rule is don't build outside your area.


Secret ingredient(s): Stairs! Any of the stair blocks will do. But you must have them, and they must be visible.

Image for finding where you will build; anyone who joins after this will get a new spot made for them.

Spoiler

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post or ask!

[The Bushranger]

Alright, village now has a wall!

[Admiral Squish]

Did I ever actually post my Atlantis pics?

How do you get into ironcraft?


Also I have like a day and a half for whatever I do.(until D3 comes out) So I should probably figure out what I am going to do soon.

Use the portal behind /spawn. It's the glowstone thing with the portal blocks.
