HEY! Do you have any idea how many hours it took to get all that wool?! I've played the game for hours before, but even my attention span has limits.

Sorry. I thought Rim and I had worked out where the spawn was so that you'd spawn on the balcony at the bottom. I haven't been able to get on in a while to figure out how I want to do the stairs.
It won't do tricks itself, but as we can now place it in significantly less protected areas, we can make it (open air fire in a wooden home for example).
Brendanmint is ridiculous when it comes to this game. The amount of ground he covers, and the builds he completes in a short time is crazy.
Based on the size of what appears to be a Mega Taiga biome, do we have large biomes again?
For anyone not on the server yet, spawn is straight down from the green indicator, next to that little sand island.

I'm still set up in the spawn area, preparing my contribution to TWHL Town.
As for my main base, I haven't found a spot yet. My plan requires a mountain that has a height of at least y: 107 (for the most part) and covers an area of 4 chunks by 4 chunks. I've been far west, about 1600 - 1700 blocks but have yet to find a suitable one.

Oh, those. The program is called Amidst. It lets you see the biomes, slime chunks, and locations of villages, strongholds and temples. The only catch (aside from not being 1.8 compatible yet) is that you need the seed, which only Atom can see.
Do you mean the lack of GUI on the screenshots? Just hit F1.
My only regret from the last world is that I never got to fully realize this:
Should the save be uploaded, I encourage you all to go check out my place in the desert. Just follow the Nether rail. Also, check out my secret area:
for a slight sense of the scale of what my plans where.
I'm not going to try to recreate this on the new world (right now at least), but I do have a plan for a new large scale construction. ;D
Actually, I'm not in school, unemployed (sadly), and don't use Windows for ANYTHING other than gaming, so I spend ~90% of my day on my Ubuntu partition, where I have Minecraft.
As for the Lapis Lazuli and enchanting, villagers will offer it for trade in 1.8, so it can be found early on, and a reason to farm villagers.

So, I have about a week and a half...
What do you think Striker? Think I can complete what I showed/described to you?

I've got a really cool idea in my head for a build, but it'll require a LOT of Glowstone and several metric shit tonnes of Gold Blocks. I'll need to double check my math though.
Once 1.8 is released. There are a lot of new materials in 1.8, and we're getting small biomes. 
Crap...probably won't be done by the reset then. 
I still have a LOT of work to do (smelting, terraforming, large scale mining, etc.).

Thanks you sir. I'm hoping to get my build done before the 1.8 reset.
Atom, I don't know if you saw my ShoutBox post or not, but the server went offline ~14 hrs ago.
That would be brendanmint. He's gone pretty crazy with the building. I think he's probably responsible for a significant portion of the things built on the server now, second only to the person who built that massive tower.
14w30b is one of the development snapshots. While people can access them, they're basically beta builds of the next official release, in this case 1.8. You can access it, if you want to try it, by editing your profile on the launcher to download them, but if you want to play on the server now, you'll need to set it back to 1.7.10.
As for the reset, Atom's planning to wait for the official release of 1.8, as there are a lot of new materials and changes over 1.7. We've just been talking about plans for the new world, like banner colors for players and my proposal for our central Nether transit station, as well as small biomes :P.

Why do I get the feeling that Rim's next place is either going to have a HUGE flower garden, or be built in a Flower Forest biome?
As it looks like 1.8 is drawing close, I'd like to take this opportunity to submit a proposal for the Central Nether Terminal for TWHL Town 1.8.
This layout was designed to allow for 'local' access to the nether and overworld, through the lower tunnels, while long distance travel is gained via the upper tunnels, where, in each of the four compass directions, there is space for a 5 man CARTS terminal. For best results, both visually and functionally, all portal should be placed so, when standing in the portal, we're standing on Y:8.
Aw...you can't place banners on your head yourself...it has to be done w/ a command.
Three more patterns were posted since I posted my image: a Daisy flower in the center (brendanmint's solar flares), a brick background and a gradient (dyed color fullest at the top).
I didn't mention this before, but these may also be worn in the helmet slot atm, allowing the banner to be raised above/behind your head.
@Stu: I made the US one as it was the easiest I could think of to show of the multiple overlapping dyed colors/shapes.

For those that haven't seen the new Snapshot yet, let me be the first here to introduce: Banners!
Yes, we will now have the ability to easily plant our on markers staking claim to an area. Not only do we have color options using wool during crafting, but once made, we can use dyes to further customize it to our liking.
We can even mix and match colors as we see fit.
I would like to officially stake my claim to black and green as my banner colors for the server when the 1.8 upgrade occurs.
I must have missed something. When did meteor craters become a landscape feature in the Dev builds?
I've been away for the last couple of days, how's the server running?

That looks awesome, Trempler.
Are those crystals models or brushes? I was trying to make something like that a long time ago, when I was actively mapping, but couldn't get them to turn out right.

Based on what you're telling us, I'm inclined to ask (but by no means mean to be disrespectful), you made sure this host is reputable right?
'Cause they sound kind of sketchy atm.

Well, it's back up, but the problem has worsened.
Previously, it restarted every 30 mins, but now it's restarting every 15. The problem isn't due to large numbers of anything in a small area, as I've been in the nether, trying to hunt Wither Skeletons.

Hopefully it'll run properly when they're done. Maybe the problem was some routine TLC on their end.
Just had a ridiculous encounter.
While exploring a mineshaft, I found a Zombie Villager caught in a Cobweb, so I killed what turned out to be her. I say this, because after I killed it, I turned around to find three Baby Zombies (at least two of which had armor, w/ one of them having a full Chain set w/ at least one enchanted piece), running at me. They, of course, killed me, and when I got back down there to get my revenge, they had despawned, having avenged their mother.
Only in Minecraft.

It should be known that, I checked, and it's ~8 times the distance from spawn that my desert is. Not only is that a major expedition, but it will have a sizeable impact on the size of the map.
Those you still have trouble w/ the render have been warned.

You really didn't have to actively go exploring to find a Mesa biome, brendanmint. As it's the last biome we don't have access to, and due to a kind heart and large biomes, there's a simple solution: ask Atom, the Seed Holder.
Kind sir, would you please provide rough coordinates for a Mesa biome, so that we may build a nether line to it? We prey that it isn't so far out, that it increases the already ridiculous 3.3 gigapixel size of the map.

I know, but it was hard to see the 28 on the stack, so after I got back to base, I unloaded the extra stuff and spread them out.
Explorer's Journal:
After several weeks (game time) of exploration, I have finally completed my survey of the desert. I raided approximately two dozen burial tombs finding may rare treasure, but my most interesting finds occurred above ground.
During my travels, I came across a botanical marvel:
This rarity is seldom seen by stevekind and is a marvel to behold, but it was the villagers of one small town that gave me my greatest find, thanks to their generosity:
I only wish we were able to craft a bath tub...so that I could BATHE in all this EXPERIENCE!!!

I don't know about complicated, but as for version/requirements, according to the thread on the Minecraft Forums, it uses Forge or Bukkit. However, the only recommended version right now is for 1.7.2, with an Alpha version available for the 1.7.9 Beta/Development version of Bukkit.
You'll see Stu...you'll see... 
Atom, have you considered other options for an overview map. Trying to open and navigate a .png this huge is tricky. Do you have the power/bandwidth for Dynmap? It seems to work on these HUGE maps, like the one on the server for The Noob Adventures.

One of my projects is creating a tunnel and transit system through the nether to my area, but it takes time to tunnel 5x5 through the nether, in a specific pattern, and w/ nether brick accents.
It'll look good when it's done, which will hopefully be before 1.8.

Their plan wasn't to try to keep up in terms of visuals, starting w/ the Wii. It was to innovate. They did it then (which Sony copied w/ the Move), and they're trying to do it now (which Microsoft copied w/ SmartGlass). The only problem is that developers haven't really bought into the Gamepad idea yet, but with Amiibo coming (along w/ the success of Skylanders and Infinity), things might start to change.
I liked both the new Zelda games. Hyrule Warriors looks like a good take on the series, crossing it w/ Dynasty Warriors.
As for the new main game, the open world concept looks amazing, I love the visual style, and the 'tech' (the 'mecha octorok' and that seemingly 'technomagic' arrow) looks to be an impressive and interesting direction for the series.

Hopefully though, with another studio (Visceral) working on Hardline, the halfe of DICE that isn't working on BF4 is working on another BF game, hopefully 2143.
To be fair, those are their most frequently updated/released games.
The others were in there like 'oh yeah, these are coming too :P'.

Hardline looks cool, though I like the futuristic style of Advanced Warfare (will need to see how the multiplayer has changed since MW2 which I hated).
And since Pb missed it apparently, new Mass Effect game confirmed @ EA's event.

Have a not fully compatible graphics driver installed.
Side effects include glowing items in hand, glowing chests as they move off the screen, and disappearing chests before they are fully off screen.

That did the trick. Thought I saw it in the updates as they were being applied after the fresh install.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I just updated my system to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and reinstalled Minecraft using the Terminal method (which is awesomely easy for anyone familiar with Linux) and got a strange effect after logging onto the server and in single player.
Anyone seen this before and/or know anything about fixing it? I've tried Googling it, but can't seem to get any answers.
When I see Strider's room, all I can think is:
"Goin' up the stairs
And goin' down the stairs
Goin' up the stairs
And goin' down the stairs
And goin' up the sideways stairs"

Damn it, Rim. This is why we can't have nice things.
That's probably because the 1.0.10a update w/ Bibliocraft isn't official/recommended yet.
1.0.9c is still the standard build.

When it's up and running again, will there be a giant hole where your house was because something you built had a catastrophic meltdown?
I know what you mean Rim. While trying it initially, I was having fun with the guns from Flan's Mod (FYI, scopes don't work), but I couldn't see how to build them, or attack and tools to the walkers.
As for the settings, I'll play around with them and see if I can get some improvement. Otherwise, I'll have to get off my ass and do a fresh 64-bit install of Ubuntu, possibly waiting for 14.04 (running 32-bit 12.04 atm).

I'd play but my system doesn't seem to like the modpack. It lags a bit in single player and I've crashed a couple times. I looked at the gear and I already have the max memory setting.
