Media Minecraft Discussion Thread

Hey, you guys want to have a smogcraft tf2 session or something? It would be a good way to pass the time.
EDIT: Everyone who does, get into smogcraft chat and we'll figure something out. There are plenty of empty servers to hijac- I mean borrow.
 
I'm not sure what the problem is, I'm leaving in five minutes though sorry personal life calls!

For anyone who still wants to help with spawn you can:
-Gather slime balls for wool squish and enchantment table
-Set up the nether portal on the water/use one of the other nether portals, grab blaze rods and get some potion stands for the spawn shoppe
-Fix my crappy tree farm
-Gather redstone for enchantment piston room, and smoothstone generator
-reshape mountains and nearby spawn area to look more natural
-torch up the place
-If CactusMaster/forks or Xaq is on discuss hollowing out under spawn for railway (this needs planning)
-Grab coloured wool for some of the buildings (potion shoppe and animal farm)

There is still lots to go! Peace.

I asume by torch the place you are not referring to flint and steel. XD

Anyways, I will be happy to torch the place (your way, not my way), and I can help with reshaping the mountain. I'm guessing the face of the mountain that is at spawn should be slanted? But I thought that we were getting rid of the mountain. Unless you mean reshape it and then destroy it......

So yeah, delegate the torching, mountain reshaping, and maybe a little bit of exploring the area to me.

Also, what are the ways to become champion?
 
@asdfy: Um, don't know when you were last on, but whenever I joined the server, there was a message saying don't make a house on that mountain. Luckily, I've made an awesome looking castle on the hill NEXT to it. There are a couple of mountains in the back that I think you can live on.

they mean like don't build on it at this current state because its a shithole but when it is re shaped and made more natural i want to live in it maybe
 
nononono.

My items. A creeper blew me up at night. Then zombies attacked me. And my items are all in a pile. It's day and just as im about to get my items. Connection is lost!

Ugh, I'm mad. I had so many stacks of cobble, and a bunch of coal. Darn it all. I had pretty much everything you need for exploring and then I get DC'ed. So far, I've been blown up 4 times by a creeper in less than 1 day. What setting is the game on anyway? Mobs have been flooding the spawn point left and right.
 
can we please vote on some sort of warp system? this should have been done before we started work on spawn but whatever. if you want people to help flatten shit and gather resources, at least give us a way to easily get back to spawn without fighting off hoards of mobs in the middle of the night. this isn't like old smogcraft where everything close by was mostly lit up and we had a train system in place.
 
Okay, server is back up thanks to Shadow the synIRC admin and how super helpful he is!
So yes, Shadow is king now.
There was probably a slight roll back from sometime before it went down, sorry for this, that's just how it goes.

Regarding warps: Layell and I are a proponent of only having /spawn, forks likes no warps at all, and I forget about Ben.

The plan was to have a vote, but if we did it before the server was up, we felt like people would just vote "/spawn and /home" because people would go with what they are used to. The idea was if people see at least how no spawns works, they can judge better what they want.

Something like that anyway. Expect a poll soon!

Moar torches?

Seriously though, it was set on easy when I asked yesterday, unless they upped the difficulty a notch later, as you can't die from hunger. Probably just bad luck, I had to kill off a few zombies around my little island pyramid as well near the desert.

And for what it's worth, I don't get why some people are against a /warp spawn, I mean it literally adds nothing but annoyance if you're out gathering otherwise and get blown up before you make it back, wasting work and resources. Especially if you consider the main desert biome is on the other end of the map. And of course when the map opens up more, then /home would be nice to have if you wanna live on the other end of the map, but don't like making a daylong walk back to spawn. And if you're against it, it's not like you have to use it if you so choose...

Also may as well ask...what button is screenshot, and where are those files saved? lol
 
This was a debate that was held ages ago, I have no idea why things would change now.

The fact of the matter is that with the /home command you still have to venture out and find any place you use it on yourself. Once you've done that going back and forth isn't "keepin it vanilla bro" it's busy work. There is no challenge in Minecraft to traveling a distance. In version 1 you could dig a hole at night, in full release you can dig a hole at night. A few super anal players who have fantasies about Minecraft being an action game and not a creativity game want to make it more boring for everyone else.
 
-reshape mountains and nearby spawn area to look more natural
read: level the fuck out of them

the whole area around the spawn wants to be leveled/elevated to 5 blocks above sea level, so collecting dirt and/or using it to fill in the surrounding areas would be very much appreciated.

and the poll on warps will be posted within the next couple hours! i'd like to get this settled just as quickly as the rest of you.
 
I will deny that you don't have to stop at all

Glad to see we are in agreement, it sure is a bad idea to run through the night carrying supplies you just spent hours collecting. Of course players are going to dig holes, a vanilla minecraft staple, to get around this, but then why not just have warps? Turning up the brightness? Surely us vanilla minecraft purists would never stoop to such dastardly metagaming.
 
vonFiedler, do you also think cheating is just a way to make stuff more fun and thus should be practiced at will?

(if so I respect that opinion , just wondering...)


ALSO:

For those of you who connect to the server and then get booted with an end of stream error: You are not on the whitelist. Fill in this form if you have this problem : http://bit.ly/SmogcraftWhitelist (but don't expect it to be fixed instantly..)
