Pixelmon feels like Pokemon Red/Blue in ways I can't quite describe.

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. :P

So, I have about a week and a half...

What do you think Striker? Think I can complete what I showed/described to you?

With a lot of dedication yes. I still don't understand your passion to do this, but I suppose it's still the holidays...

From the new 1.8 update:
Enchanting has been redone, now costs lapis lazuli in addition to enchantment levels
Damn it, this is not making the game funnier to play by complicating existing things.
Also, I couldn't spot any fishing additions :(.

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.

Have I understood correctly? Minecraft is going to have custom 3D models now?
Striker StrikerI forgot to check the oil pressure
Posted 9 years ago2014-08-29 23:11:12 UTC Post #321522
Apparently, yes. But the defaults will mostly be just cubes. Mods will be allowed to make any model that fits within the cuboid container.

I started constructing already. This world is awesome! At last I found a nice savannah place for my home.

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

Question: what tool did you use for these screenshots? This tool connects to the server?

[edit] Also, Atom, please install some kind of protection/lock plugin. On one server I played you could use a diamond cube to protect an area of your choice from destruction.

No. I meant the satellite-view screenshots.

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.
TawnosPrime TawnosPrimeI...AM...CANADIAN!
Posted 9 years ago2014-09-03 20:43:28 UTC Post #321617
It says Amidst in the filename of the screenie. That's how I hunted the program down.

My new place is north of spawn a little ways. There's a biome of plains and light tree cover and I'm currently set up in the southwest corner of it.

Along my travels I found a medium sized lake that's only 1 block deep. If it could be filled with dirt, it'd be perfect for a pine forest settlement. It's only a little ways north of spawn.

I'm also trying to make maps in-game.

I'm hella far away again, I too am north, and have claimed an Extreme Hills + and Stone Beach island for the glory of the Mintonia Empire. I'm in the process of digging out my base and placing banners. Hermit life yos.

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.

Yeah, west of spawn is all ocean, enough ocean to make me turn back.

I may will migrate back to that flat lake spot. I keep thinking about it. If I need more space, I can always go underground.

As far as I Can tell I'm the first one to go to the Nether, first one to create my Banners, and the first one to GET A SPONGE. I GOT A SPONGE. SPONGES. Guardians are a bitch to fight.

I created a banner before you did. What are sponges useful for anyway? Also, you and Tawnos discovered an underwater city somewhere, where is that?

Is there no other way of exploring the map from topside besides asking Atom to make screenshots of the world? :(

[EDIT] Also, I think Rimrook also isn't the first to make houses in that taiga forest. I just spotted a tree house, but I was there making one first yesterday when I traveled a bit from my place. I intend to connect these areas with a road.

A topside map would really be helpful...

I thought we couldn't hit each other. I just accidentally killed Striker by punching him off my WIP skyway.

It's ok. It seems that on this server if you die you keep your inventory, which is great.

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.

Posted 9 years ago2014-09-05 20:36:18 UTC Post #321648
No, large biomes are off, it's just a large and rare biome.

I'm not sure I believe that. There's an awful lot of... well... large biomes.

I travelled about 3500 blocks south (in your house's direction) to find a jungle. Most of that was savannah. With a heaping helping of desert in there too.

Atom do you have any problem with JourneyMap? I Was thinking of using it when it releases for 1.8 and wanted to ask.

That's where the end portal is. I'm just west of that. I travel that way often since just east of that is a swamp I use for slime hunting.

Just learned it's probably 2-3 months out for 1.8 ._. I really hate how long it takes for shit to update to new MC versions. So annoying. With all the Bukkit and Spigot shit up in the air I really hope they start working on an official mod API.

My skyway loops in and around spawn now. One stop leads to a tree right near Rimmeh's too, so he's in said loop.

I'll have to find an uninhabited part of the M. Tiaga to clear and prepare for my build.

Posted 9 years ago2014-09-07 13:44:08 UTC Post #321671
I filled in a shallow lake to make space for myself. I'm only cutting down smaller trees and building around the big ones so it isn't too deforested and still looks scenic. I like the skyway, it's fast and safe :)

I've opened up the portal to the End! I destroyed one of the End Crystals and died. So now we can go kill the dragon. Or I can, since it's still so early into the server.

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.

I haven't a clue what you guys are talking about. My builds are small and simple. I mean look at this! Practically the smallest build I have yet!

This week I'll probably be on less, last 2 weeks I've only had 3 of my 5 classes, but this week the other 2 start. So yea, more time in school and what not. Less time on the server. Which sucks, I've run into a problem with the iron grinder, villager breeding was changed in 1.8(DAMN YOU MOJANG). So it's gonna take time to get up and running.

I'd like my imminent build to be big, but I know me; odds are I'll get bored and give up about 1/8th of the way in.
