From what I understand, it can only move up to 16 blocks.

I would assume that it cant generate anything into a chunk that hasnt been loaded. So if would probably stop. But the fact that you can do it without the need to mine cobblestone is an exciting proposition. It may be slow but you could at least build the device itself and work on something else close by to increase the rate at which you build.

[Mots]

I love how deserts look when you dig them up.

[Ragns]

Where's sept?

[Atreides]

that self building bridge would just keep building outward forever if there was no obsidian, omfg

edit: oh nvm

still, holy fuck I want a sliding bookcase

[Kaisha]

I'm curious how hard it'd be on the server having a bridge builder/loop system going, since it's actively doing something to the chunk.

Has anyone besides that BetterLight guy done a new "BetterGrass" mod? It seems like the guy disappeared since the ambient occlusion style softer lighting was incorporated into the game, but I'm pretty sure 1.3 and now 1.4 broke better grass, which I miss badly.

P.S. It's official, snowfall is coming back and rain is finally getting implemented in v.1.5 It will wet wolves, auto-water crops, douse fires, and makes catching fish easier.

Looks like notch is on a fun little productive kick. Adding +1 damage to your melee attacks while you're moving down. Ambush! Also, right-clicking with a bow is going to nock arrows, and the longer you hold it, the further they will fire when you release.

Level 2 (workshop/storage, haven't decided what to do with the right half of the room but im thinking library/gallery)

Level 3 (bedroom)

Level 4 (open-air garden, kinda Ico-inspired)

Level 5 (domed mini-desert biome with nether portal)
http://i55.tinypic.com/2iu82ua.png

I still have quite a bit of decorating to do but I'm mostly done. For whatever reason my nether portal connects to the same exact portal in the nether as the one near my other house, is this because both real-world portals are so close to each other?

I also had to disassemble my mob spawner and move it quite a ways away to an area without as many underground caverns, which was a total pain. I kinda want to build another portal next to it with a stone walkway in the nether connecting the two in order to make the walk a little faster, but eh.

I wish birch/redwood trees could A) grow from saplings and B) grow into big trees. I've been painstakingly replanting/chopping down small trees in order to make sure the area around my town/settlement has only the huge ones, and it's annoying. You should be able to just use a 2nd bonemeal on any tree to automatically turn it into a big tree, or something.

people still play on server 2 right ? hardly see poeple in when I pop in and out.

[Mots]

Yeah, I don't understand where everyone went. ; ;

[Chrian]

[Ragns]

Refreshed the map: http://mine2.bluegartr.com/

[Ragns]

Banned the user lukingoo for fucking up the spawn on mine2.

[Helm]

I guess I've been missing people when I decide to log on. o- o)

[Karbuncle]

Just logged onto mine2 Server for the first time and i gotta say

Holy fucking shit its so magnificent. You guys are awesome. It makes me feel like crap compared to what I've built :\

Edit: I notice a lot of Minecart systems just go to the bottom, but no way back up, Have you guys Considered the "Booster' system ?

[Kaisha]

Boosters didn't work too well online last I checked. Besides, faster to just /home when you're done mining for the day rather than climbing your way back up.

Booster actually work really well (Well, 1 Type of Design). I use them in on my Server. They create a LOT of Force. not as much as they used too, but still enough to get you really far, even uphill.

The design where you put a bunch of carts on a circle track is a bad Booster idea, The one i use is:

They Self reset and create a very large boost. The longer it is from my understanding the further you will go.

Anyway, Was just a suggestion The servers are darn neat. I'm exploring "SONO" now.
