So I need some help with water flow. My harvester doesn't like the idea of pouring water into three channels instead of four. It's hard to explain.

 

It's really getting me down.

Well, after neglecting MP I'm glad to say I was drawn back in by Minecraft. Damn you all. 
 
Super Duper fun though! We all Skyped, and laughed, and I was pregnant the whole time!

I do like the added benefits of Skype. You can warn people of impending danger BEFORE it happens. I must invest in audio recording capabilities.

I plan to "industrialize" everywhere on my side of the river, if anyone wants to stay at my facility feel free, I have diamonds and all the hoes in town.

    • This includes air blocks.
    
    
    • This creates essentially an invisible wall at the boundary.
    
    
  
  
  • As all blocks function as solid, if the player is moved outside the boundary via external tools, they will be unable to move outside the block space they are within.
  
  
  • Despite the above, the camera can still move normally. This reveals that ghost chunks still generate, as the camera can pass through normally solid blocks beyond the boundary.
  
  


• Block/Item IDs
  
  • Can now be referred to by their names instead of numbers.
    
    • Will be the only option in the future.

Server needs a little behind the scenes TLC. I'll take care of it when nobody is online.

[Donkeymog]

Server is down for maintenance. I'll be super quick.

[Donkeymog]

Server is back up. Let me know if there's some problems.

 

Boring technical stuffs:

 

Spoiler

It seems the Essentials plugin is spamming the server.log repeatedly with just a message stating how many users are connected. The log file reached like 30mb. I've cleared it, but I can't seem to find any way of stopping Essentials from doing this. Any suggestions?

 

Also there's still a few errors and warnings when we load the server due to out of date plugins. But I'm not going to mess with it too much while it seems to be working fine.

[Glaciermage]

Amplified sounds interesting. I was kind of hoping there would be an Autumn biome where all the leaves on trees change colors.

What plugins are we all currently using?

[Donkeymog]

Very few. Just Essentials, SilkSpawners (makes it so Silk Touch works on mob spawners) and the Dynamic Map is a plugin too.

[Glaciermage]

Ah ok. Btw I enchanted 8 pickaxes last night minimum level 15 in an effort to get silk touch for you. The bad news is I had 0 successes. But the good news is I mined some quartz/glowstone in the process in case u should need any.

[Donkeymog]

!!!

 

I probably should have mentioned. I did some research and found out the best level for Silk Touch is 26/28. I managed to get a silk touch pickaxe on my first try. Thanks anyway!

[Glaciermage]

My research told me differently. It said a lvl 14 has 10% chance of silk touch and a lvl 30 has 16% so in theory enchanting a bunch of lvl 14 until u get it is optimal. But since u have one and I don't I'll try your strategy next time.

[Donkeymog]

Your numbers are correct. But because Efficiency, Fortune and Unbreaking (I think) all become more common at lvl 30 they bump down the likelihood of getting Silk Touch slightly. At level 26 it's 18% and around the same for lvl 28. I mostly just got lucky.

[Donkeymog]

So I was trying to sleep and it occurred to me that I want to build a house in a village. And then I remember my previous attempts to co-exist with villagers and how they'd lead to unintentional zombie massacres and me inevitably wandering ghost towns contemplating where all my friends went.

 

So then I thought "I'll build them a wall!"

 

and then because I'm supposed to be asleep my scumbag brain started formulating massive ambitious intricate plans for how I could fortify an existing village and populate it with wolves and golems and snowmen and a giant wall and a gate that locks at night all connected with a Minecart railway with a big station.

 

And so yeah, I might some help from some of you guys.

[SpazCat]

I will get all the iron for the Golems!

 

I do have plans of my own for my home, but I haven't mapped anything out. I don't mind working on other projects. :)

[SpazCat]

Got some iron together. Started a small patch of pumpkins. I'll work on the snow tomorrow.

[Glaciermage]

I'd like to invest in a property in your village, and help with the fortifications too.

[Kyle]

I actually would like some help flattening the land on my side of the river, quite frankly I plan on making my submarine, but 'till then this'll do. P.S. I was wondering if I could have a warp made for my place. Thanks!
