Grinder

protip: if not using potions to kill them, just punch the spiders. They die in 1 hit. I wasted many swords until I learned that.
Brings lots of food too.

You can just choose wherever as long as it's not super close to spawn.

lol, if the server API gets put in, that will be one of the first mods i suggest we install to the server, along with better than wolves and better then buildcraft to make buildcraft and BTW compatible. those two mods are fuuuuun. you can even do things like using soul urns made from complicated equipment that takes a long time to make, and screwing up deliberately with them to spawn a ghast in the overworld, and use that to create a ghast tear farm by shooting arrows at them till they die. <_<

believe me though, it takes a lot of work and materials and the like to reach that point of the tech tree, since you gotta gather hemp, grow it, turn it into windmills, axles, gear boxes, make a system to process wood via saws, create a filter system, use the processed lumber to make a turntable, make a kiln, fire up some pottery, make a crucible, use the crucible to make steel, use the steel to make an anvil, use the anvil and filtered stuff to make a soul urn... yeah. And that's excluding the other parts of the system where you gotta learn how to make a bellows to strengthen the fire cooking things in a cauldron, gathering wolves for their dung to use with scoured leather to make tanned leather, and learning NOT to put too much of the wrong ingredients in a fired stewing pot (dung with cooking food makes fouled food) or worse, putting too much hellfire in the stoked fire stewing pot, which results in too much concentrated hellfire and makes the thing explode like a tnt. <_<;

Then there's buildcraft, which lets you use various pipes to suck up items from chests and the like, deposit them in others, sort items out, and so on, along with things like a quarry which slowly digs up a specified area, (9 x 9 x 9 default, but you can use land markers to specify a smaller or MUCH larger size), constructer which, combined with a blueprint, lets it take whatever you fill it with and build that shape, and so on.

Another favorite of mine is littleblocks, which you can craft with 1 dirt, and place on something to split it into a 8 x 8 x 8 area on that block, allowing you to put tiny blocks on top for finer detail. only problem is, putting a redstone wire and connecting it to a tiny redstone wire crashes the game, although you can use redstone torches or buttons or the like to connect shrunken redstone components to normal ones. Still, might not be a good idea till they fix that bug lol.

In fact, since jeb is working on the GUI, shouldn't we suggest mods that would do well with the server for when it comes out?

**Shini** · 2012-01-27 20:40

x.x Only reason I'm asking for Brick is cause I already spent last server stripping like half the known map of clay to make my castle lol. And I don't want to import the castle cause it has a major design flaw, so I figure it's easier to start over.

**Chrian** · 2012-01-29 01:48

8 hours till update so far it's just souj jinn because he wants more then 45 boxes of wood, and shin because she wants her base flat 25 blocks above sea level so at 90?

**Shini** · 2012-01-29 01:54

o_o whatever is 25 blocks above sea level lol. I haven't been on to look, but what does the water you filled in look like? The map makes it look funky.

**Chrian** · 2012-01-29 01:56

basically that water is just a rectangle of pure water it looks funny because it's showing the blocks through it
also it's the map gen looking at normal area and it's fine in my saved version at least

Don't get me wrong i would love to have buildcraft put on the server i make some crazy stuff on my solo's and i love searching for oil, but theres so much to learn and takes quite along time to amass the materials to make the piping done for large scale projects, which is why i started using Tomanyitems great mod in its own.

As great as that mod is i think we sould start out small and work our way up.

Start with simple mods like

Timber! - makes all the logs in a tree break when you hit the bottom block of the tree with an axe of any type.
Backpack - gives you a extra storage space on your person
Nether Ores - It makes the six "ores" - coal, diamond, gold, iron, lapis, redstone - spawn in the nether

there was another mod i cant remeber the name, but say you put cobble in the 1st slot of items. instead of going into your invintory to find a new stack to replace it after using it. the mod would just auto replace it for you, which speed building up for me. it was on a server i play ahile ago and never got the name of it

i would say if we go the mod route lets get mods that slightly enhance gameplay with out doing a major change

**Psion** · 2012-01-29 04:50

I second Timber! for a mod, that shit's incredibly useful for all your wood based projects, you can even couple it with BTW and buildcraft to make an automatic wood farm... provided you got the patience and resources of course. I guess that's what makes me like the BTW mod so much, it lets you make incredible farms you couldn't before, helps you in a ton of ways, adds a lot of stuff... but you gotta work for it, so it's quite balanced

**Dionicio** · 2012-01-29 05:14

could i get a couple boxes of glowstone? nether and i dont get along

**Chrian** · 2012-01-29 10:18

download map update then gonna put stuff in sorry for beiong late\

hey dio i put some stacks of glowstone in a chest inside my farm at spawn, my farm was the one with the glass and cobble ceiling.
sorry again for being late was really tired.

also added alot of iron and 1 stack of diamond blocks and alot of passive monster spawnwer eggs to get you going once you build a pen. just make sure to leave some behind
now to work on what i'm supposed to work on shin jin and souj
hmm I'mma just rerender chunks inside that square I took out of shins area so we can get some ore distribution

**Timwakefield** · 2012-01-29 12:58

Sooo refresh my memory: When does whatever I do become obsolete? Is that now? haha.
