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.

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

In relation to Hostile mobs in safe places: twice today i have had a Zombie spawn in my house.

The first one was after i came back from the nether and found it in the hall that connects the portal room to the rest of the house and then just before i logged out just now i was outside and saw one spawn in my main room and then head down into the hallway that the last one was in.

The light around the front door was a lil bit dim but more than what i would think a mob would spawn in.

I get surprised at how low the light level in some places gets when setting up my lighting.

If you open up the f3 display, the 'bl' reading stands for 'block light' and tells you the light level where you're standing disregarding the sun. Check the darkest spots, 7 or lower is not safe.

[Leon]

Interesting. I am surprised that they don't spawn in my upper bedroom as the there is a patch of Bl: 6 right where the bed is. I should remove the bed and seal the room to see if i get spawns in there.

[Saposhiente]

The reason is that mobs have to be at a certain minimum distance from you to spawn. You might find monsters there if you venture out elsewhere.

[Leon]

The spot where i saw the zombie spawn was in a Bl:10-12 area

[Gadora]

Uh, there's a slight permissions problem.

It turns out that runecrafting works on Hardcore. (Well, the compass rune at least. Don't want to actually set up runes there.)

[The Bushranger]

To whoever owns the big ship at New Cobaltia: I believe you've been griefed. It's possible the "under construction" look is intentional; if not, though, the south end of the superstructure is...patchy at best, and either way a number of the logs were on fire when I found it.

[Uke Fox]

I added a friend of mine to the whitelist. He's new, and we wanted to play together... but I have no idea how to set up a server. All my attempts have thus far met with failure, no matter what tutorials I follow to the letter.

His name is Morguemeat!

Upgrade to the newest test patch or wait until 1.3 They are working to make setting up a server as easy or easier than playing single player.

[Draconi Redfir]

Bluuuhh. So i logged on today,. and deciding to test out if my warps still worked, i warped to annother world and found all my stuff gone. That was expected though, but when i used /home to warp back to rpworld, all my stuff was still gone!

Soooo yeah. Any chance of getting a dimond sword, at least two iron picks, an iron shovel or two, an iron axe, a clock, and half a stack of torches spawned in for me?

maybe some food too?

[Deme]

I had a simmilar problem with using the /spawn command.

[Tome]

I must add that I also experienced this problem. Not long after Deme noticed it, I believe.

I left RPworld and when I returned, found that I'd lost an enchanted Diamond Sword, an enchanted Bow, a Diamond Pick, about a stack and a half of arrows and an Instant Health II potion. There was other stuff in my inventory, but I can regain that fairly easily.

EDIT Many thanks to Deme for restoring my items.

[Draconi Redfir]

Thinking i might just cancel one of my non-rpworld projects, it was grinding down to a close already, and i even removed all the torches from the mineshaft i was using and closed it down, but i think this no-item-transfer thing does it for me. i was hoping to get some more work done on it, but i guess i'll need to consider it finished as it is.

[The Bushranger]

Furnace installation complete!

Spoiler

[Uke Fox]

What exactly does it do, BR?

[Deme]

Oh, and apparently /wg 3 takes me to hardcore.

[Uke Fox]

Did the server just explode?

EDIT: Nevermind, my dad was messing about with the router and broke the internet. All is well.

It's just a rather nifty installaton, I think at least.
I'd love to figure out how to hide it with sticky pistons when not in use, but I don't want to tear apart my house to try my inexpert hand at restone, even if it could be done...

Nope.

[Uke Fox]

You said it was redstone-operated, I was wondering what it actually does. It just lights up?

Hiding it wouldn't be too hard. I'm sure someone would be willing to aid you (I would, but there are better redstoners than I).

[Draconi Redfir]

Good news everyone!


I may have found a way to populate testificate villages with a high number of testificates and a low number of houses. still doing a bit of testing, but so far so good.

[Uke Fox]

Hooray for human experimentation!

Nope.

I am not a Redstone wiz so there may be ways to compact this but its something i just whipped up on my Creative world.

Bottom mirrors the top

The switch is connected to it via circuit that come in from around the back one block down

[Draconi Redfir]

Yup, Redstone Lights.

Already got help with hiding, now I just need enough slimeballs for 14 sticky pistons...

AWDI here,

I"ve got a little problem. It seems that my inventory disappeared when I used a wrong warp.
I was in release(-780x, 64y and 995z is the start of the building that i was in) and I was going to my different warps for my tower( I have one for each floor and there only 1 symbol or letter ranging from q to ] )by error I went to /warp e, Which brought me to the Rp world(674X,68y,904z)
After a while, I looked at my inventory and it disappeared. I'm not sure where exactly this happened but i lost my whole inventory. In this inventory, I remember having a diamond sword, Pickaxe and axe, all enchanted, Other than this I had normal item that I don't mind losing
After a brief inspection, It seems that going from release to Rp. Deletes your whole inventory.

Could I have back the diamond things I lost, Scuzzball/Admins/Moderators?
Thank you memnarch who re spawned my lost items
On a side note: Sinderman, Could you please move you teleporter to the side of the road at "wizard's tower". I would like to thank you for making the teleporter but at the moment your teleporter blocks the road and prevents the expansion of the road. If you are unable to move or wish not to move it, Please PM so we are able to find a compromise.
Thank you very much.
PS: I don't I call it "wizard tower", I call it port and there /warp port if you want to go there with out the teleporters.

[Saposhiente]

Ya, problems have apparently developed, problem though is that I have no idea what their sources. RP is no different a group than any other.

[Saposhiente]

*Updated WorldGroups
-Fixed inventories et al sometimes being cleared when you change groups.
--It was because I was in the middle of making the new version of WorldGroups when I fixed another bug and didn't think to fix one thing.
Still looking for bug that causes groups to be given the wrong numbers. Meanwhile, all other forms of teleportation target correctly, and there's no risk of losing stuff by changing groups.
Edit: Okay, it's one of those annoyingly weird bugs. I can't replicate it at all on my test server, and the exact things that are wrong changes at times. Won't be fixed before later tomorrow.

[The-Mage-King]

So, Sap, a question.

What are the limits of Worldgroups? Can you completely remove some items from a worldgroup? So, say, making it so that one worlddoesn't have TNT, or even dirt, while another does?

I'm asking... BEcause there are awesome mods that require clientside downloads, and back before worldgroups... Well...

[Saposhiente]

No, though it could be made so theoretically, but I doubt your idea will work. Does it specifically say that it can be applied only to given worlds? If not, it can't. The other question is whether it's truly worth it. Big mods means more resource usage, and if you're the only one interested in it it's not worth it.
