If it was just a darker purple instead of bordering on hot pink, I think it'd look fine. On the other hand, I don't care either way.

On Daubster's Server, near spawn, hard to miss.
I built this out of achievement. The islands are hand crafted, and the island the house is on is hollowed out, leaving a medium-large work room and storage. The whole thing is for rent, as I have no use for it.

Odd, editing the last post on a thread normally bumps it. It didn't bump, and it may have something to do with the new way hot topics are displayed on the front page. Can anyone confirm?

Oh well, see previous post.

To whomever established the Resource Depot, you need better lighting!

I got surprised by a Creeper in there. He blew up in my face. Terrible service staff there. I will not recommend it to anyone. :P

Anyway, I repaired the damage as best I could w/ the stocked resources, and I wrote down what I used so I can replace them, if necessary.

That place is awesome Rim.

Joined, and am very surprised no one has found my bunker yet.
Tawnos has been close to it, but no one has even seen the entrance. :P

EDIT: oh yeah, and to the guy who built the spleef arena, that smug ring thing, and the boat races near the outside of the entrance to my cave. Fuck You.

notch posted a short video, the original was all black but someone brightened it up, and there is a little surprise for us. it's called "the end" and I assume is where the endermen come from.

That's not the surprise, we've known about all of that. The surprise was capes in game for the Minecon attendees.

But Notch told about that before he told about the ender realm, unless you're mistaking the ender realm for the sky dimension that Notch showed a while back.

I'm building a working lighthouse on the server. Though all I've managed to do is build the the mechanism that runs the light. It's east of spawn I think, can't miss it, it's just a big frame with a roof. It may be rotating.

So I'm inviting people to make it prettier. Help?

X-Layer we knew about them but not when he was going to be enabling them, the secret was him turning them on for the attendees.

So last night I cleared out the first dungeon I've encountered on my main survival world. I went in, popped a few torches, quickly attacked the spawner with my sword, broke it, took the loot and left.
I then realized that I wasn't lucky, but merely still had the game set on peaceful from my last jaunt through creative mode. Having world-dependent difficulties would be a nice touch.

It may end up rivalling my main home, which I will post screenshots of when I get back from this lab. Although I can't even remember if I ever posted them before in the first place.

[Edit] Here it is, el Castillo de Alabastor.

The reason for the design is that when it was time to expand my primitive hut, I elected not to move the perimeter wall and just build up and then outwards. This is the result.

Found this out.

On the 1.9 Pre-Release 3 version, if you use the seed 1027748776332260843 it will place you on a small island with some grass and two trees. No animals.

Its a super challenge. Since there's no wool, you can't make a bed. Here's the kicker; if you die, the game will respawn you 3000 units away from spawn with no land in sight at all. It's like hardcore.

CHALLENGE:
Be well self sustained with a farm, a two story house, and several trees.
Play it on Normal, no switching difficulties, don't be a pussy with hacks, mods, or cheats. The starting island is the only island for many miles with trees. Building at spawn is best since time is also a factor with hunger and starving.

Unfortunately, this seed only works with 1.9 PR3.

Posted 12 years ago2011-10-13 05:26:49 UTC Post #299958
No, I didn't type in a seed and I got the water world. F3 Diagnostics shows the seed number of the map so you can recreate it if you wanted to. Simply stumbled into it.

And I keep dying. >:[

I WANT TO LIIIIIVE!

EDIT: Died again. Was struck by lightning. Didn't have a shelter and was focused on farming.

You can be struck by lightning??

I did a singleplayer playtest not too long ago. I saw a strange white thing and thought, "wtf, is that a cat?" - turns out it was a wild dog. A pack of them.

I wanted to go get my junk after I respawned, but I was completely unable to find the place. Instead, I got killed again by an exploding walking cactus.

This game is WEIRD.

Another place to terraform!

Being a big floating island, it would actually be kinda cool, and to do the entire thing would be an amazing accomplishment. Though it is super pointless. At least the nether had more things in it.

Won't be home until monday. I guess the seed changed with the latest version. Bummer.

I'm having a fun time on that island. I've leveled the land and used any dirt I could find to expand the island to cover the shallow areas. FINALLY got a fishing pole and I'm eating like a king! I also built a nice cobble machine that's fully auto and pushes the cobble to a single block. May post the design at some point to that. Built a house to shield from the lightning strikes.

My next goal is to get a bed so if I die, I won't respawn in the ocean. Need 12 strings from spiders to make the wool for it.

If spiders can spawn why can't sheep? Or did you get rid of all the grass and the dirt?
Posted 12 years ago2011-10-15 21:48:48 UTC Post #299989
Spiders and other aggressive mobs spawn in the caves below the island. I've never had any animals spawn on the island.
Rimrook RimrookSince 2003
Posted 12 years ago2011-10-16 11:22:12 UTC Post #299994
Yeah, if they don't spawn on the island initially, they likely won't. Animal spawns have been much rarer since Notch made them permanent.

That's only for enemy mobs. They can't spawn within 24 blocks of players or player spawn points.

According to the Wiki, about 1 in 10 newly generated chunks will have animals. It's very rare for them to spawn in already generated chunks. So in terms of Daub's server, we're screwed for cows. When it updates to 1.9, NEVER kill cows that weren't born by breeding.

As for Rim's seed, animals don't spawn in desert or ocean biomes, so everyone's screwed there too.
