You do know that if you get rid of the wooden trunk the rest of the tree slowly disappears right?

Trust me I know. But people who go scarring the landscape and neglect to cut down the rest of these big trees are the problem. I just wanted some fun in taking care of them and some of the new commands worked quite well in doing that. Things like this is why my tree farm had blocks to make a height limit.
 
Acht, trust me, there's nothing more annoying than trying to build a house only to find a floating tree there because someone was too lazy to cut down the tree. But right now I'm pretty happy because I got my base up and running. Just have to make it look cooler on the outside (even though its a one story, I'll make it look like a tower by piling sand on top) and make my room bigger on the inside. How is that?

*in hushed voice* it's a basement undergrooooouuund.... Gonna make a bunch of paintings to put in there! :D Yay!
 
Going back to the whole sprawling metropolis thing, that would be quite epic, and in regards to those who were talking about resource raping, unless you havent noticed coal spawns in way bigger numbers now and it isnt that hard to get a heap of it. Also, in my opinion, underground city is gay, you will never beath hamsterdam and its slimes. :D
 
If we do a Spawn town, why not just have someone make something in creative and we use that map? Failing that, just have one of the Smogcraft mods use their infinite resources on the thing (or have the Give stacks to whoever is building it idk).
 
I see lots of talk of spawn ideas and layouts, but no plans, drawings, creative builds actually showing what you mean. If we're going to have a community built spawn, then we all need to be on the same page when it comes to the design. So far only Buff has produced anything worth using.

So what are the opinions on the new hosts? The server is located in France, so how is the lag for US users?
 
i agree with Dan, drawings/screenshot and a agreed theme for it all would be good. the theme part would get me, nothing is more annoying that having all this random buildings that dont look the same. I will get working on creating some stuff, i aint very good at building but at planning shit i am alright

In relation to the host, im in Australia and haven't had much of a problem as i usually get with my crappy internet.
 
Buff's spawn looks perfect, and it would still have lots of room for cobble generator/community farm/etc. So unless anything else comes up, that seems great to me. I'm fine with not having a super special spawn area set up before we play, too. We can just do something like LSB where we keep adding/changing it as we go along.

As for lag, I live in New England and I'm getting 5 bars with no lag from the server (I get some from playing on a laptop if I set my view distance to anything more than Short or if I don't turn on Game Booster). Seems like a good fit.
 
So i am now working on a town, thought it will look like shit cos i suck at design ideas it is more for a layout design. I would be more than happy with Buff's design, that whole raided/covered walkway is epic
 
The whole town in a ravine thing might not be the best idea..... I mean, you just don't have the resources down there like trees and food and it would be hard making a staircase to get up. I personally think the town should be in a mountainous range with SOME desert and forests, but lots of rivers connecting the mountains together.
 
I have edited the server plan forks set up I'm cool with some of the stuff buff did, I might pull out my own design for the spawn area in the near future.

Anyways I edited that lovely plan for the server area forks set up

Biggest change is the potion room, which I hope can be used to list the best potion stuff and have some potion stand available. I haven't tried the new 1.9 but does potion making take time? I suppose enchantments will also be in there as our "magic room"

Tree farm: 2 rows of eight trees of each type at the minimum height growth gives about a stack of logs for each type.

Furnace: About 15-20 furnaces should be good to super smelt everything. Like my cobble generator in the last server it would be serviced by two piston lines to be faster.

Shroom and Flower: Should probably be two buildings but whatever. Flower just needs to be 5x5 dirt, shrooms should be enough for 4 or 5 bowls per use (assuming piston powered)

Snow man: Just snowmen waddling around making snow for people to pick off the ground. Pistons don’t move blocks with snow so there goes a factory style.

Wheat: Enough for a stack of wheat for whatever you need

Melon: One row seems to be good, I know they are nerfed but are fun to keep around.

Pumpkin: One row to help build snowmen/decoration

Nether Wart: (EDIT) Seems you can't grow this stuff in the overworld OH WELL!

Vines: Just tall enough so that people don’t accidently shave the top one

Reed/Sugar cane: Enough for about 10 bookshelves to be made if full. Which is 30 reeds lined up if you don't cut down the bottom.

Nether: Farther off so we don’t’ have to hear the toilet groan.

Cactus farm: 10 or so cacti, we don’t need that much you can idle for this tbh.

Hotel: Having 20 beds is probably never going to be used but if we want to whole server to sleep why not (or ops just allkick)

Egg/Chicken grinder: 5 chicken in egg farm, I think I perfected the auto roaster so we shall see how that works.
Animal farm: Two of each always available. One cow perhaps locked up for just milking.

Railway: We will build a base but shouldn’t expect to start building stuff for this right away. We should find the ideal depth for where abandoned railways spawn.

The lag has been minimal, the only problems I'm having are that sometimes when I mine a block it reappears for a few seconds then breaks. But that is likely due to the huge storm at my house right now, our internet has gone down 5 times over the past few days >_>
 
So I'm guessing that the free build is for our houses and stuff?

Who's gonna build the houses and stuff? Im guessing you're assigning long standing players for this stuff, am i right?
 
I like the layout, kind of a nice coastal town feel to it. What would really be cool is if you included a "stretcar" system of sorts built with minecars and tracks somewhere in there.

Well I did the treehouse on the interim server, think I'll go for more of the pyramid feel as a perma-home...shame that'll take a lot of sandstone to make.
 
That is what the rail station is for although with how big the server borders are set right now rails will probably be unnecessary and wasteful. Once the server is settled for a month would I even consider starting railways (coming from the user who did about 40% of all the railway work in the last server).
 
Looks cool. I'm still having a hard time designing my house... gonna have to use this 1.8 server as a sandbox for it. Can I do that layell? Seeing as this is an interim map and all.... Might make a wooden tower out of logs.
 
Stupid ISP is stupid....
That is the reason why I dissappear for the last 5 days of every month, this time for 10 days and that is because someone in my house downloaded 5GB worth of Playstation Network material.

Anyways, Im glad that we now have a stable new server up, with a new permanent (?) map, it allows me to build huge things without fear of having it lost.
Anyways the first thing Im going to build when I have enough supplies, is my 3rd cobblestone creeper, (my 5th if you count single player).

Also Im a going to make a map for the spawn town if I have time, even then forks's idea is really really good, but I want to contribute
 
How do you attack files to a post, so i can post the stuff i have been making ( i have been using Laylell' map as a guide) the picture thing when you write a post just comes up with some URL bullshit, help plz???
 
I'd say it's a bit early to think about that, chances are they'll only be available in the 'Ender' (remember the Sky Lands from ages ago?). You get there through these crystal portals that are only found (I think) in Strongholds. You need to throw and 'Eye of Ender' into it to activate it.. but they currently (as of 1.9 per 3) do not do anything :( That's what that weird glooop you may have seen around is - the "portal" bit... the bit in the middle... like the purpley stuff in the middle of nether portals. yeah that. THEN YOU FIGHT DRAGONS

They should call the game Ender Scrolls: Sky Realm.
 
Ender dragons? This is getting more intense by the second!

So 1.9 will be a permanent server right? Or will the full release be the permanent one?

I hope that I can help in any way possible with the map. I could help get supplies for the buildings when 1.9 comes out. Would that help? All you need to do is give me the list and I'll go look for them.
