The Minecraft Thread

GAHHH.

Was building a stone generator and ended up falling into lava with my Efficiency 3 Unbreaking 3 Silk Touch pickaxe. NOT. HAPPY.

See ya on the grinder.

Do we have a grinder on Ravendel? Could I get coordinates if we do?

Raichu's is the one I use. Rail from the dock.

I have not been on in a while. Not sure when I'm gonna get back on, but my name was mentioned, so hi. Have fun with my grinders then.

For crying out loud. Got out of a minecart near ravendel station, got teleported somewhere pitch black, and drowned. Lost all my stuff, including yet another enchanted diamond pickaxe. I'm running out of diamonds.

Behind the village church there is a tomb that goes down to several grinders. I don't know the coordinates off hand but if you know where the welcome center is the coordinates for the church are listed there. There are three grinders there, two skellie one zombie.

Minecarts can be very dangerous, best to get off only at each station because that's where I've tested for teleporting through walls.

Yeah I can vouch for that last time I teleported off a minecart I got punted outside of the walls that make up our nether hub. I was punted like 100 blocks away and had to dig my way back to safety.

Oddteresting!

I'm looking at it now. It shows all of the blocks in every orientation. There are rows and rows and rows of the same block for kilometers...

Must be for looking at texture packs.

Hello again, everyone! Time to give an update on my progress:

First, I've completed a branch-off on my underwater tunnel, linking with the islands that Blizzard Panda and his buddy claimed for themselves. It was going to go to land, but I decided against it (for logistics and aesthetics reasons) and made the path beyond the surfacing point a dock.

Second, my giant guest-room is finally complete and has enough chests, crafting tables, boxes, and furnaces to house the entire server. (Why? ...Because it's cool, that's why.) On that note, I've begun work on farms for my house.

Third, to Matrix: The point on your transit map marked "Cave?" (the giant nether portal that dumps you in a cave) belongs to me; it was supposed to be a Nethergate on both ends (Nethergate: a Nether Portal larger than conventional Nether Portals) but I turned into a mine entrance instead. The entire cave's been submerged (there is a point where you can leave the cave and surface) and outside are two largely unclaimed continents (I say largely unclaimed because there are a few points that have been claimed by other players).

x5 The Minecart dismounting can be quite BS at times. Which is why I don't use them in the nether. Also, 7x7 space, centered around the cart.

According to Jeb's twitter, we might get a 1.8 pre-release this week!

So how does one acquire arcoins?

You sell things and if memory serves you gradually earn them by playing.

I run Time is money and yes that is exactly how it works. I have the admin shop in Ravendel village set up for selling things to earn money faster if you need to. Also feel free to sell your wares in the store basement or at your home, just follow the format on those signs and use either the item ID or exact name of the item you would like to sell. Also the sign needs to be placed above the chest containing those items.

For Time is Money, how many ARCoins do you earn an hour? I'm curious.

It was already set up by Arcan when I took over so I don't know the amount or if the settings are changeable. I suppose testing could be done to pinpoint the exact amount.

This was over two years ago, so I'm not entirely certain, but I think I left the default values in.

I think it works out to about 1 currency per minute of non-afk playtime.

The Minecraft toys are expensive. The Minecraft Lego are much more expensive. LOL

Ludicrously expensive for a heap of small, basic parts and four printed 1x1 plates...

It's kind of a good thing legos are expensive.

my room would be filled to the ceiling with them otherwise.

I watched a documentary on Lego recently, there are enough Legos made for every person on the planet to have 80 pieces. Personally I'm completely happy with just my xwing.

I was exploring New Ravendel today, United Territories covers a lot of land, and water lol. I especially love Azriel's underwater domes, absolutely amazing

The 1.8 prelease is out, and they added a new default player skin Alex?. Apparently, depending on your user ID, if you are not using a custom skin the game randomly selects whether you'll look like Steve? or Alex? as default, and you can't change the default. You can still change the skin like normal though.

Hmmm. Don't recall, do they make any sweeping, game-breaking changes to the build from pre-release to release? I've been waiting on this for quite a while ever since I burnt out hard on my world in the current version. Would hate to start a serious world and have it meltdown in three weeks.

Part of the reason I haven't played Minecraft in yonks is because I've been sorely vexed over the inconsistency of mod support for all the various builds. I want to start a new world but then I see new snapshot data that makes me want to wait, repeat ad nauseam.
