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

[Eldest]

Is Ironcraft building over? I still need TNT placed.

[Saposhiente]

What's your name in Minecraft?

[The-Mage-King]

So, requesting a new world in the default group when 1.3 is released.

Because emeralds and cocoa and stuff.

[Eldest]

Right. Jbhaugh. I need one TNT put in the ship, it's buried so I'd have to show you where. Basically it's just for show, because it's not going to cause any blocks to be blown up, but seeing as the point of Ironcraft is show...

[Matthias2207]

Ah, you want the cannons to actually fire TNT?

[Eldest]

Cannons? What? The cannons fire arrows, its the bombing chute that's not operational.

Please, please, please, for the love of your deity, deities, non-theistic universal framework, or all definitions of goodness you care for, put interesting stuff in your structures. It makes them automatically cooler, nicer-looking (because they can be experienced from more than one angle), and more interesting and creative. As a judge, there are few things less satisfying than seeing a neat-looking structure and learning it's a near-empty shell. It's just sad.

I second this, even if it was my first time judging.

Those two shouldn't be a problem: you can get emeralds from trading with villagers and, if I'm not mistaken, existing cocoa can be used to make cocoa plants.

Plus new areas will generate the new stuff when explored; I haven't gone into the jungle I found on Terra for just this reason.

We have too many worlds as it is, we don't need another, additional one.

[The Bushranger]

...hm.

Is the plugin that privatises chests, signs, etc. working? 'Cause I placed a sign and didn't get the "you have created a private sign" message...

[Frog Dragon]

I've been getting unexplained timeouts since yesterday. Nothing else seems to be wrong with my internet connection (though Steam has also been refusing to start but it kind of does that sometimes). Reboots haven't helped. Is there something going on with the server? I suspect the fault is in my computer though.

[horngeek]

Hmm. Not sure where to get wool for a bed on Terra.

Mostly so I can change my spawn to my construction instead of the standard spawn.

[Phhase]

I just realized that the structures are being judged today. / I'm not done! Oh well. That sounds rather like a description of my thing, Deme. I think I know who's gonna win based on the necessity of cool shtuff . RESOLUTION: Next time, I need more dakka. MUCH MOAR. NEVAR ENUFF.

[Deme]

Actually, they're being judged *before* today...
But I get the impression that there was some confusion, since there seem to be a lot of people not done. The deadline needs to be clearer, I guess.

Also, I wouldn't consider that a description of your thing. Your thing isn't a hollow shell, whatever else I find bothersome with it as an entry for this contest. ...By the way, were the cats part of your entry? I was confused.

Aye, that is correct, it's the main reason I'm still continueing construction on the parts of the adventure I'm making in rptown that use villagers; they'll work just fine for the new stuff in 1.3, even if i add them in 1.2.3

I think it's the server. My dog has been un-sitting almost every time I log in (and sometimes when I just go /home) as if the server has reset, and chests, furnaces, etc. are no longer private.

Something is wrong here, can things be checked out?

Check your place now.

[horngeek]

I assume you found it, then?

Given the lack of room, I'm thinking of making my construction a tower of the 'rises through the bowels of the earth' type.

[The Bushranger]

Yup. I was looking way too far down the road.

Also, I will add pictures when I get time later. Unless someone beats me to it.

[The Bushranger]

Congrats to the winners!


Could one of the admins use the biome-changng plugin to tweak some biomes on Terra? I'd appreciate it if a path of open water could be set from x572, z63-ish to the open water to the east, along the path of flaming netherrack.

[horngeek]

Hmmm. For my tower idea, I'm not sure how to determine where to hollow out the mountain to make room for it. Ideas?

Basically, a sure way to mark off the four corners of the room at the top of the mountain.

So does that mean that we're starting another one right away?

Possibly..

[Frog Dragon]

The server doesn't want to let me use warps. It lets me set them, but when I try to use them it claims that there is no such warp.

[Saposhiente]

Hey mem: I'd like to make a request for the new competition's theme: The new trade center being build near spawn needs a proper sail. How about everyone in the competition is given the same boat, and must construct a sail for it?
(I can arrange the boat)

[Deme]

Or what about boats and ships in general?
