I think my flag was like blue, green, and white or something like that back on the old TWHL planet map.

Oh, you can copy banners with another blank banner, that's mega helpful. If you had a skull in your flag it'd be a bitch to get a crap ton of wither skulls, at least now you just need one, and can copy it. How neat.

TWHL MC 1.7 - "Hi, Welcome to the TWHL server! Need some food or something?"

TWHL MC 1.8 - "Uh, you see the banners, you're on my lands asshole. Pay the fine or die."

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.

Aw...you can't place banners on your head yourself...it has to be done w/ a command. :(

We have to make a color grounds where we each display our banners.

Capture the flag stuff would certainly be interesting, though if a banner is at all in your inventory, it should display on your character. Its way too easy to hide it otherwise.

Really having fun with this. Could make a few different variations of flags, for different corps/locations. Homeland flag, expeditionary flag, etc.

A server reset may be in order after this next update. A lot of good new world generation stuff.

Going to miss this world. So much stuff on it. Hopefully I'll be able to get a nice area to have all my grinders and facilities together in the next world whenever that comes. In other news, rail from TWHL Town to my surface base is functional, but not complete. Rail to the mob grinders is still being worked on.

Was thinking to send off the server we all get on and fight a wither or 6.

And as much as I want to finish my builds, what's the point, we don't know when 1.8 will drop. It could be months, it could be tomorrow. I could start building and the next day it will all be for nothing.

Maybe Atom can make it available for download after the change.

And now, BEHOLD the Wall of Flags! Or those that I could remember off the top of my head and didn't make a mess of. See which ones you can guess without cheating!

More new patterns!! http://imgur.com/a/AUXHF#0

So many possibilities. I think Jeb is changing the names of some of the patterns though to better reflect real world terminology. I thought they worked well as is.

EDIT: Someone made a simple tool in java to test out differnt combos and what not with flags. It's pretty neat, and he says he's adding more to it, so that's cool. http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/2bmis8/i_made_a_small_java_program_that_lets_you_edit/

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.

Light blue banner base

Bottom Saw - Lime

BOW DOWN TO OUR SUPERIOR COLORS! We also have bunnies.

Made a few flag designs with that Java app. I think I will go with the second one on the bottom row, the blue and orange one.

I like the startgate. That should be our symbol for nether portals.

The newest version of that java app has a randomize feature. Pretty fun to play around with. The designs are all weird.

EDIT: Another more useful app, web-based and it let's you generate a code to get the flag in game. Just a little bit better than the first one! http://time-z.net/algoinde/

I'm really behind with Minecraft, haven't played seriously since last summer. Has the Snapshot 14w30b been implemented yet?( any update?).
Also, I saw some discussion about resetting the world here. Has this been done or is it about to be reset?

Posted 9 years ago2014-08-01 16:37:03 UTC Post #320935
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.

So much infrastructure, it's gonna be beautiful.

In other news, my rail from TWHL town to my base is functional, it ain't pretty, but it goes from point A to point B. And my rail from my base to my semi-functional mob grinder works to, which really it's a rail to the iron grinder, with a stop for the mob grinder on the way. In short if you want Music Discs and have the patience of an airbender you can head over to my mob grinder to try your luck at getting some.

The "Conquest" resource pack makes everything look very medieval and story-like. It also supports connected textures. And auroras, apparently... if that isn't a Minecraft standard thing.

What are connected textures?

I wrote out an explanation but it was easier to just Google it. First or second image result. Makes things connect. It's awesome when texture packs support it because people can do cool things with it, check out SMPS revival, so good with CTs.

I was wandering around and I discovered a train line. It's always intriguing at what's lying ahead, so I followed it!

Soon I discovered an underground complex, that I first thought was spanning just a few blocks.
My jaw was dropping more and more as I perceived the monstrous dimensions of this hidden place. It all culminated with the underground farm, and when I arrived here:

Who the fuck has so much free time on their hands?! This place is awesome!

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.

Sorry for not responding, Space Engineering has been taking up my time. Yes, I am the underground pioneer. That's my somewhat complete Center for Sheep Control. I kind of got bored with MC since all I do is build and build and build and build and build and mine and mine and mine and mine and build and build and build. I might hope back on the server this weekend. Work on finishing Phase II of my rail line.
