Minecraft - OWF server -

I only didn't do it earlier before 1.6 'cause it would have used up a ton of powered rails. That's not an issue anymore though. Maybe I should've done it as soon as 1.6 came out ages ago but never got around to it. Until I was poked by Splat. :P

However it's a little complex to use - I have labelled the buttons clearly but you can't always see the signs. Plus sometimes the cart goes through it without you touching anything which is annoying, and I don't know why.

The Yaucht Club is missing from the map.

Northern bases?

Wings of Fire · #**574** 07-08-2011, 05:45 AM

I think that means you.

dripik · #**575** 07-08-2011, 06:05 AM

And perhaps the lava pool cottages, and maybe Terror Valley.

Manco · #**576** 07-08-2011, 06:16 AM

civilization is slowly creeping towards me

I think I'm eventually just going to up and emigrate halfway across the world.

Havoc · #**577** 07-08-2011, 06:20 AM

BTW, why is the map oriented to the east? :s

T-nex · #**578** 07-08-2011, 06:21 AM

So you can ask dumb questions about it!! >: )

***Wil*** · #**579** 07-08-2011, 06:38 AM

Because maps in Minecraft have east at the top.

Aw crap, I forgot. Ah well, easily solved:

You don't have to have a station if you don't want one, Splat's valley is quite far from you if I ever build all the way up to there, the line for that should be some way away.

I may not even bother going that far unless people really want it and give me enough iron (I need mine for RF), I do at least want to get as far as the lava lakes though.

If you do migrate half-way across the world, make sure to wait until 1.8. :P

As Wil said, Minecraft maps are orientated to the east, too. You also face that way after you spawn. It's a bit odd.

Well my place is a short walk from WoF and Splat anyway, so there's not really a need to build one directly to me. Nobody else really visits anyway, so it'd just be a convenience for me, which I don't really need.

That's the plan! My new lair will reach down into some ungodly ravine and an obsidian mountain will loom over the local NPC village.

I've been making changes to my house including new rooms (eg guest rooms, Furnace room now downstairs, Vault, Upstairs living room) A new rail (Thanks to Darkhoodness), A excessable roof, Fire temple now has a roof and my mine is excessable for anyone, anytime.

Splat · #**583** 07-08-2011, 04:21 PM

I suddenly realise that as well as naming a 'natural' wonder 'Terror Valley', I've also named the cave under the desert where my portal comes out, 'Terrifying Cave'.

What does that say about my opinions of Minecraft...

Havoc · #**584** 07-08-2011, 04:38 PM

What is this Terror Valley?

Manco · #**585** 07-08-2011, 04:44 PM

It's terrifying.

***Nate*** · #**586** 07-08-2011, 05:41 PM

Is that a waterfall flowing out of a treehouse?

E'l Scrabino · #**587** 07-08-2011, 05:47 PM

You could say that. Of course, if you did, you'd be correct.

I always climb that tree house via the waterfall because I can never find the ladder until I'm at the top. I'm fairly sure it's around there somewhere, but jumping in to the waterfall is more fun.

***Nate*** · #**588** 07-08-2011, 05:54 PM

Where is the water coming from?

Havoc · #**589** 07-08-2011, 05:57 PM

From the treehouse...

Duh.

You can collect and place water source blocks

STM · #**590** 07-09-2011, 04:07 AM

Might I ask how you made those train maps, was it a specific programme or are you just very good with photoshop?

DarkHoodness · #**591** 07-09-2011, 04:29 AM

MS Paint and being clever with fonts, lines and colours. That's it.

I could use vectors in Corel Draw which probably would be easier but I haven't been arsed to re-install Corel Draw since I last re-installed windows.

STM · #**592** 07-09-2011, 04:50 AM

Well It's very well done.

DarkHoodness · #**593** 07-09-2011, 04:59 AM

Thanks.

Havoc · #**594** 07-09-2011, 09:56 AM

Would there be an interest in creating an economy on the server somehow? I'm reading about certain servers that have a sort of economy in place, which seems like an interesting idea.

***Wil*** · #**595** 07-09-2011, 09:57 AM

Not really interested in having it implemented, but interested in reading up how such an economy would work if you have a link to a good description.

T-nex · #**596** 07-09-2011, 10:04 AM

You mean like trading diamonds for wool and such?

STM · #**597** 07-09-2011, 10:37 AM

We have an iConomy in our server, it's quite easy to implement with a plugin and it regulates the price of goods depending on how much people have. You also get money for killing mobs like $2 for slaying a spider and stuff.

Phylum · #**598** 07-09-2011, 10:43 AM

I don't like economy stuff. I don't really think we need it, either.

STM · #**599** 07-09-2011, 10:43 AM

it works well for SMP any way.

T-nex · #**600** 07-09-2011, 11:26 AM

what can the economy be used for?
