I've kept my promise and I found a wealthy beach so far from town that it needs a special nether portal to get there.

NOW PLAY AND FUCK SOME SHIT UP!

Also, let me do the nether portal linking. I know how to make nether portals work efficiently, even if they are close together. If anyone wants to join the portal network, let me know.

Atom's spot on with that one, they're a BITCH to make. Getting TP's right, co-ords and so on.. It drives me bonkers!

Breakdown to predictable nether portals.

FOR A NEW NETWORK:

1: Make first portal where you want it on the mainland.

2: Take coords of first mainland portal and divided by 8. Ignore the Y (vertical) coord. Just use X and Z.

3: Enter first portal and destroy the portal on the nether side. You will need the obsidian.

4: VERY CAREFULLY in the nether, dig down to near bedrock underneath all of the hazards and lava. Tunnel to the coords divided by eight and make a new portal and go through it. It will link to the mainland portal just fine and vice-versa.

TO ADD A NEW LINK TO THE PORTAL NETWORK:

1: Go to where you want the portal to be on the mainland. Make a portal and activate it BUT DO NOT GO THROUGH.

2: Grab the mainland coords divided by 8.

3: Find a different portal. Perhaps the first portal or something.

4: Enter that to the nether then tunnel to the coords you have from the mainland divided by 8. Make a portal, activate it and go through.

5: The new portal will link to the mainland one predictably and you have successfully added a portal to the network.

Going from the mainland to the nether is random as the game wants to put the player in harm's way. Building underneath everything is risk free mostly. The worst that happens is you encounter a deep cave or a bit of lava. Its still safer and quicker than travelling the way the game intended you to go.

Even if the distance is short, going from the nether to the mainland this way can link two portals properly and precisely, even though they are 10 blocks apart in the mainland, and only 2 in the nether. This negates how the portal inherently works as described on the wiki.

Take coords from where? Top left corner? Take coords where the player's feet are, or the head?
dig down to near bedrock underneath all of the hazards and lava.
Why? The Y coord can be ignored, you said. Is it really necessary to dig all the way down to bedrock?

Multi-color sheep farm is in its infant stages.
Blue

Planned next color is Yellow

It's located in front of my house, next to the creeper hut.

Atom: Portal placement ignores height. He's only telling you to dig deep so that you're able to tunnel/travel to your intended coords with less effort. You can go just fine without digging down if you want, but you'll have to traverse much more hostile terrain. By digging down, you're just tunnelling under everything.

Had some fun times on the server tonight, and then I had a really weird crash. I'm taking it as my cue to go upstairs and get ready to pretend I was asleep when I leave for college in an hour.

You had me worried there for a second.

Anyway I've now built some redstone shutters on the windows of the main bedroom in my house, the one with the red and black carpet. It's my first real time messing with redstone so I'm quite happy with the results.

Which one is your house?

The Great Corkscrew looks way taller when you look at it from eye level.

There's a curious looking tower to the southeast, near a village. Who lives there?

Well, one of those biomes on the left happen to savanna, I know because I went out there for my desert. X)

I may just take my god-tier pick called "The Stoner" into the nether and start tunnelling in a single direction for 2000 blocks.

To whomever owns the enchant table that I moved 50 blocks away into the Brewing and Enchant Shoppe (B & E Shoppe), you can take it back if you want, but in my defense, 50 blocks, public use still, in sight of the orginal position. Not in my defense, I forgot to put up a sign, sorry. ;-;

Stu, did I just cause you to disconnect from the server due to lag?

[Edit]
There's a skeleton dungeon right by the entrance of this cave if anyone wants to use it for something.

Just a power outage.

I suggest you guys look at your mailboxes (if you didn't have one, now you do). I have finished my house and I'm having a Grand Opening party.
Posted 10 years ago2013-11-10 11:07:23 UTC Post #316724
I finished a map of the area around spawn. It's hanging up on the nether portal at spawn. Most of it was already visible in the overview, but I would have added a good chunk more to it.

That said, not one of the cool new biomes in the whole map (by which I mean flower forest, mesa or ice spikes).

There's also the pine forest with podzol or something, and grassless dirt.

Does anyone else want to build up walls, paths, or staircases? I didn't want to start in case we needed more room, but we're not running out as quickly as I thought.

Also, I've been gathering quartz for our spawn point. Unfortunately spawn is in a weird place so I'll have to build it a little to the side and spawn will need to be adjusted to it... if atom doesn't mind?

What exactly is the purpose of the stairs to nowhere and who made them?

There will be less room now that I've finished my house, I'll start on a square and then a hotel.

Also, again, check your mailboxes if you have them, if you don't, now you do. Only places I didn't go to were Skals's (bloody unreachable) and that shack in an island at the bottom of the world render (forever away from everything)

If by any chance I missed someone's place, let me know or ask someone with a more visible building that did get an invitation on their mailbox to let you read theirs for the details.
Posted 10 years ago2013-11-11 00:57:39 UTC Post #316732
If you mean next to Rim's, it's mine. I made them with plans of a house, but... well, I had the stairs in mind. Not what I was goign to put at the top of them. I'll make something up there... eventually. Unless they're a problem. Not like it took a long time to make.
So, I went traveling South-East to the Icy Plains to seek out an Ice Spikes biome. My plan was to continue going South-East 'til I ran out of snow biome... Turned out to be a mistake with Large Biomes on.

I missed it unfortunately, I had to get my sleep back to normal for college today so I had an early night.

On a lighter note, I've made an easter egg in my house. It is at the height of comedic maturity.

Usually I don't bother protecting myself against mobs too much because most of the work I've been doing is quite close to my house, but that last creeper was fairly rage inducing.

I've gotten a replacement horse now. I'm currently on the look out for a saddle.
