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

[Draconi Redfir]

SO! resulting from testificate testing. (they were made for it!)

spoilering because many large screenshots.

Spoiler

According to a youtube video by docredstone, this counts as a village, each door having one block (and a torch) to it's name. I have encased it in a dirt wall as this will all be "underground.

Spoiler

Step 2: Place a single testificate inside this "village. I was told testificates needed to be able to pathfind to all the doors, this is to test if this is true. I also put an iron golem in there just in case.

Spoiler

Sorry about the darkness, but here is the burried result. it is three-blocks high inside in order to fit the iron golem, the coblestone path is directly above the one-block gap between the two rows of doors.

Spoiler

Next, i light up the surface and build four houses on top. Since one testificate takes up three doors, a settup like this would normally spawn zero baby testificates. Note that i did not place any blocks on the coblestone path.

Spoiler

Next, we populate the village. With two testificates and an iron golem for safety.

Spoiler

While they get busy, lets build annother (but not-identicle) version of this same setup. Here's the "control" where we have the same set up, but no testificate pathfinding the rooms beneith. another thing to note that the inside of this one is only two blocks tall due to lack of an iron golem.

Spoiler

Going back to check on the first two, BABBY!!!!

Spoiler

roofing and making houses for the seccond village

Spoiler

TWO! TWO BABY TESTIFICATES! Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah!

Spoiler

Wait... make that three! This test is going very well!

Spoiler

Thse two however... not so much.

Spoiler

The growing family accidently got out, so i made them a little staircase so they can get back in.

Spoiler

These three... kept getting out without breeding. So i had to lock them up. (and also kill/replace them.)

Spoiler

On the other side of the feild the family seems to have gotten themselves trapped outside in the dark. Evidently they have trouble figuring out stairs.

Spoiler

Stiiiill no breeding here...

Spoiler

Get to it guys!

Spoiler

Maybe if i put a guy down here...

Spoiler

It's a sad sad day when your robot can figure out stairs.. and you can't...

Spoiler

Meanwhile THESE guys... urgh! i even made you extra two-door houses and nothing! >:(

Spoiler

These guys on the other hand are doing pretty well. All but two of them figured out the stairs and got back inside, and started breeding again!

Spoiler

Maybe if i kill the non-breeders and replace them...

Spoiler

*Ten minutes later*

I find this lack of breeding unamusing.

Spoiler

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

Spoiler

The winnahs! (minus two who sill cannot figure out stairs.)

Spoiler

SO! What did we learn from this? Well.

Burying bare-bones houses one block underneath a village DOES work. But as seen in the second village, not all the time.

So what was different?

Well, lets see.

In the first village, the villager in the bare-bones houses was the first villager spawned.

The underground houses in the first village had a roof three blocks above them, rather then the two from the second. I am guessing this is the key factor.

But do we need a villager down there? Hard to say, as the test did not have two identical bare-bones villages. More testing will be needed, with four villages. Two with a roof only two blocks above them, two with a roof three blocks above them. Two with a testificate in it, and two with no testificate.

I will do that testing later, maybe not today.

I am building a secret mountain base that i would love to build in the server too.

Reserve me a mountain.

Well it's not very secret anymore, now is it?

[super dark33]

But you do not know the location .

Now it has a series of traps leading to it, a lobby and barracks. up next: training room, an extarior fort that is guarded by soliders, The wizards office and Secret chamber.

Not secret... but fun.

On the note of mountain reservation, I'm still waiting for information on where in RPworld I should put that huge geode-egg-thing, and whether wool and digging tools are going to be spawned for that project (as they're not exactly rare, other than the blue wools, and it would save a lot of time, and it's not like you can extract the lapis from blue wool).

If not, I can still do it, but I still need to know what mountain or large hill to put it in.


EDIT: I've now decided on making a character. Makes this all much easier.

Name: Unknown. Doesn't talk much.
Thing he/she/it can't do: Attack mobs or players.
Thing he/she/it can do especially well: Maybe I can build using Minecraft Physics instead of sensible ones (only to a small degree)? Don't worry, I won't abuse it. I just want to have a bit of craziness, since the general concept is an enigmatic thingy that does stuff that doesn't make any sense at a glance (or five).

Allowable?

[Deme]

Sure, that sounds fine. If a character's capable of building nonsensical structures, than nonsensical structures built by them aren't a problem. "A wizard did it" is a valid explanation in this world, provided a wizard (or whatever) can vouch that they did it.


Also, I explained what the deal was with that: I will meet you halfway on and re-create anything you prove you can work to get. As for locations, I'll go scouting when I get the chance.

OK then.

Oh right, I forgot that. Sorry.

[Uke Fox]

If going for so much realism, though... it's not like using lapis lazuli as dye makes any logical sense. :P It's a rock! Maybe you could come to some sort of compromise, like representing the character gathering woad or true indigo by having Unknown deliver obscene amounts of foliage in exchange.

Is an idea. Blue was a practical and easily-obtained colour back in the day. Purple, however...

[Draconi Redfir]

Know what i'd like to try one day?


A village in the nether.


I think if i put it right at the roof and if the bedrock layer up there is only one block thick, then it might work. Probably won't have any concept of day/night though.

[Uke Fox]

Time for testing? Use redstone lamps for the sun! :o

Speaking of other dimensions; Endermen are either unassailable or seriously glitched out. Not even water kills them - they just teleport away. Sunlight has no effect on them. Was this to stop us going to The End? I want Endstone! :'c

[Qwertystop]

On another note, I seem to have some stuff in-inventory while in RPworld. This was there when I first went there upon making the character. No idea what it's from. Could the bits of it other than shears and bread (i got those after) be removed? I can't find lava to dispose of it in.

Also, any idea what I should have as my starting stuff? I was thinking just a random assortment of dye materials.

They are also passive. I'm confused by your difficulty. Just put a pumpkin on your head and you're golden.

[Uke Fox]

Hardcore? They're not passive! They murder my face in two attacks if I so much as look at them, and are invulnerable. :P

Speaking of Hardcore...

Phenomenal amounts of ridiculousness have just occurred. So much so, that I am reduced to begging for my stuff back.

I was in the Blaze grinding room in the Nether (Hardcore). I notice, roughly around reaching level 50, that Ghasts are firing upon something. So, I ask, "Is anyone in the Nether?". With no response, I assumed this person was too busy running to reply. Nope. The Ghasts, somehow, knew exactly where I was - many blocks indoors, that is - and blasted inexorably through the walls until I noticed I was under attack. By that stage, the floor had already been destroyed, and I was thoroughly at the mercy of those Ghasts. I died, not only losing a diamond sword, but fifty levels. I couldn't care less about the sword. The levels, however...

Meanwhile, I believe that the delicate Redstone circuitry composing that grinder is now damaged. Secondly, using /wg 2 to return to Hardcore returns me to the Nether, to the exact point where I died - falling into lava, now.

Fifty levels!

Yep. That's why you don't look at them. Hence the pumpkin. Or is this a case of "Ze Pumpkins! THey DO nothing!"

IS the Hardcore END working on the server? It wasn't the last time I looked.

Ah, Hardcore, how I missed you. I have to dig out my unmodified .bin to play though.

And on that subject, with world groups can we have a very popular mod installed on just one world?
Like this one :3
I'm finding Hardcore to be too easy without it. And with it we could have our own UHC competition, and I can fraps my perspective.

And on that subject, I have several minecraft videos of UHC speed challenges, as well as my ironcraft video, but when I upload them to youtube is looks terrible. I thought it took some time to get it working for HD but it's been a week and still looks the same. Once I figure this out, I'll start posting vids.

Ah, but every time they take any damage (or rather, just before they do), they teleport and proceed to ignore me. Be it sword strike, arrow, even water - they just teleport away, good as new. I stood on a lily pad, glancing at this one Enderman every so often, to aggro him. He'd walk over, step in the water (and I mean, he'd be waist-high in it), teleport away, and ignore me. So I'd look at him again, and he'd do it again. Evidently he took no damage whatsoever from this, because he didn't die even after many, many dips in the water. This was during the day, also.

[Togath]

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned in the thread yet, but, I found a mountain range that appears to have been blown up with several stacks of tnt near a certain jungle in rpworld, would whoever blew up the mountains mind if I used part of the blown up mountain range as part of the adventure I was building?

which leads to the jungle I planted there, and starts near a small hill of mycelium somewhere in the forest

As I have already said, only if the mod itself supports it. Worldgroups does nothing to the game logic; it only archives and retrieves player data.

Never mind the first bit. I found lava and disposed of what seemed to have appeared from nowhere.

[Eldest]

Hey, Deme, is the hill under Hazel's shop hollow at all? I was thinking of putting David's home there.

[Deme]

No, it's not hollow. All I ask is that you keep the entrance out of Hazel's yard and not interrupt the staircase.
...I cannot recall who David is, but I will worry about that when I am less sleepy.

The caveguy. Went off to hunt, came back to his tribe, and found the town instead. I sent you a few PMs about it a few weeks back, only now starting to play.

A structure in the Nether without cobblestone shielding is just asking to be destroyed eventually.

[Togath]

A bit of an odd question, but one related to the adventure I'm making; have we slain the enderdragon on terra, release, or rp yet?, I had been planning to use the ovicaptor rune to get a few villager spawn eggs, but relized I couldn't remember any warps to end portals or if we had even found/made one yet.

I have at least one warp to the end, but it's private for some reason I forgot. So tell me you need to get to the end when we're both ingame and I'll send you along. Or there are supposed to be a few other warps. And this end has had the dragon killed, yes. I was part of the group that did it.

-JB

[Admiral Squish]

I have completed my doomtower. Except I don't know what one puts in a giant, well-lit sandstone tower. I gave it a floor, but I haven't though of anything else yet.

Suggestions? Someone said wizards before, but I feel that may be overdone.

[The Bushranger]

If you just need End Stone, try /warp secondend.

(But careful of that one-block hole in the floor...it got me once.)

*Added a portal to hardcore until the wg bug is fixed
