Last couple of days I've been putting up Nether Portals and exploring.
One put me high in the air above the ocean/large water body right near a tiny island. Good thing I had enough supplies to build back up to the Portal. It is in the South Eastern part of the known World.
Another one put me in a cave structure which I soon learned was under the water in the North Eastern part of the known world. Quickly I realized I was also near a mine, and now that I look today, a very large mine structure by all accounts.
I also explored a bit of the Nether, got me some golden nuggets and spotted (and almost bit it) the large cube thingy there that makes all the noise. Damn its grenades are powerful.
So what are you up to?
One thing I really want to find in the Nether is a Nether Fortress and/or Blazes.
From a Blaze you can get a Blaze Rod and then start brewing things with a cauldron.
But otherwise I've been building my underwater city :)
I'm all out of glowstone at the moment though so any you can find and bring back is appreciated :)
I was working on an alternate portal just below my airship, but gave up after a few falls and loosing my flint...
Now working on rail station upgrades... Beach station is now a two button system that dispenses carts, BIOME station should be complete the next time I am online. I plan on upgrading at least the 4 primary stations... I added a small dip/piston stop at the tunnel Tom connected.
I have also been experimenting with lava and pistons in creative mode, but with the number of times I have lit my self on fire, that will stay in creative mode for now... I did however figure out how to make a lava curtain style door (with a few bugs).
Added a little detail to my cube like island house, made some updates to some rail stations. Explored the jungle and started mining under my tree house....
Who put all that rail in the nether?
Sev did I think...
My current theme: Settle the South-West.
Kind of like the way Alberta or Montana were settled.
I started with a hobbit hole down south, then built a cabin west of there and connected them with a cobblestone road. Now I'm back at my hobbit hole, where I've set up a birch tree farm and am making preparations to build a pine tree farm. The grid structure above the trees is actually a roof that keeps the trees from growing too large, so that I can harvest them without a stepladder. After that, I plan on putting up another building, but that's all I'll say about that :)
My buildings will eventually all be named and will generally go along with my theme. At some point I'll probably make a connector to the more metropolitan area near the central spawn point.
Oddly enough Lazy and I were discussing sending out a rail link your way. It would be elevated to reduce mobs.
How would you feel about an L Station in your neighbourhood linking from Beach?
I've been thinking for a while about a North/South link anyway to hook up Melbosa, Sev and Tom, the A line is nearly completed anyway, maybe we should start planning a B line?
A station for us guys up North would be nice :D
Gotta find a good spot to build it now and design a convincing L Station!

WATCH YOUR STEP!
Yeah, I've been thinking about what kind of linkup I might want in the future. I was kinda thinking of a harbour first, but a properly built one that doesn't destroy boats as they come in. I like the idea of an elevated train, but it doesn't really fit my current theme :) Too bad there's mobs, otherwise I'd be lookin' for a grade-level train track (a la the old west).
Well we could try, if there were enough torches around they may stay off the tracks.
Even an elevated line isn't impervious to spiders

I think something like this would work for a ground level track (used glow stone instead of tourches due to tool limits).

A Creeper? If you went down to the caves at the bottom you went too far. Maybe I'll seal up the bottom bit, there isn't anything fun down there anyway

I told Sevalecan about the forums, but he hasn't bothered to show up yet. But I have been thinking about making my script notice when people join and send them a "motd" of sorts with the forums and map linked.
Just thought I'd say, from an "outsiders" perspective, what with the insanely high # of "new posts" that are in the Minecraft section... the URL should be changed to "forums.righteouscraft.com"

Ooh Testificates? Yeah, I don't know if you can "herd" them...
I looked into it, you can trick them into rail carts or hurd them into a ditch to move them.
They breed depending on the ratio of available houses around. A house defined as a door with a roof of a minimum size.
So today I put up a Jungle tree right near my Palace in the morning... I come in this afternoon and someone built a treehouse on top of it????? http://mc.tomasu.org/#/66/64/-13/max/0/0
Imagine my surprise, especially after the write-up about infringing on other peoples space in game that Stewie put on those signs Lol...
No worries as who did it... doesn't matter to me that it is there... just noticing people move fast now on our server ;)
Hah! That's cool :D
I talked to Stewie, it was him. He had the d'oh look on his face after he realized he'd done exactly what he wanted others not to do :P He's thinking he should tear it down for you, but I told him to leave it for now.
So did you get your second jungle tree grown?
http://mc.tomasu.org/#/214/64/446/max/0/0

Yeah its ok, can be left.
Second tree is just beside the first one :P
Well I thought I had expanded the map by taking a boat south... However someone has gone to the far far north... http://mc.tomasu.org/#/113/64/-3620/-6/0/0
I noticed that this morning, I wonder what they were looking for?
I think that was Lenny that showed me how far he explored. And he walked and swam, no boats. If I recall correctly, he was just exploring for exploring's sake.
I just looked, oh wow he's gone twice as far as what he showed me yesterday! The man is busy discovering the New World, methinks.
Okay! I need to find a Nether Fortress, maybe sometime this week we can finally get together and rough it up in the Nether so I can find a Blaze (or two!).
I really want to see what brewing potions is like!

Yup, that was me. As well as just exploring, I was also looking for a new place to build a fortress where I won't be encroaching on anyone else's projects. I've found just the perfect place now, so I won't be expanding further north for the foreseeable future. I'll eventually have the fortress connected to be other two bases via my nether railway.
Nice!
Hey, welcome to the forums too
If anyone spots a nether fortress let me know.
I spent an hour looking for one today with no luck (almost got lost on my way back to the portal!
So I've been doing a lot of prep for my big projects.. LOTS of mining. Made a rail to connect my mine to my second base, and going to extend it to the main rail line.
Just now though, I was reorganizing my mine's storage chests. And while fiddling with the layout, most of the contents of the chests that I'd left on the ground despawned. Lost a crap load of redstone, coal and a bunchton (nearly two double chests of cobble). This does not make me happy. Things like this REALLY spoil my mood for a game. GAH.
I've had this happen a few times (or even have it clip through stuff) so lesson learnt... :(
The NPC village http://mc.tomasu.org/#/-330/64/135/max/0/0 has been enhanced so that it it now keeps most mobs out and is capable of spawning two iron golemn's to defend it. There was a problem where if a player entered the village at night mobs would swarm in and kill NPCs.
I have widened a path to the village as well...
Busy today!
- DESTROYED that big ugly tower I built (you're welcome :P )
- Created several brewing stands
- Created Nether Wart farm (near the centre portal room at the top of the ladder)
- Collected more Blaze Rods
- Built a cool airlock system! (diagram attached, repeaters not required, torches under doors attached to side of bricks connected to redstone)

I typically don't like the idea of mods or ops or whatever using /give to give themselves or others blocks they didn't work for, but this is a perfect example where it
should be done.
So... not sure where people are today but I need rails and am wondering if there is a stockpile hidden somewhere?
Thx

I'm just glad I didn't also decide to move my main chest. The one with stacks of iron, half stack of diamond, gold and other more valuable ores. I may spawn in some coal and redstone, we'll see. I still have a bunch of mining to do, I may not need to ;D redstone is ridiculous at the level I'm mining at. Coal isn't much better. But then I will need a crap ton of coal to make glass, so we'll see.
...I made my own rails, I borrowed 4 powered from Lazybones' storage, I can make some if needed.
- Widened the rail link between Spawn<->Biome
- Added tracks
- Renovated Spawn Station
- Built a mushroom farm in the Nether
- Made a few potions
I had to spawn in some soul sand, I seriously couldn't find any of that creepy lookin' stuff (after 2 hours searching two nether fortresses! I REGRET NOTHING)
Made a lot of cool stuff today, no one else was on though so it was kind of lonely... oh well LOG IN AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE COOL STUFFS
I built my first memory circuit today...

All the mods/ops should have the TooManyItems mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/140684-12512w15a-toomanyitems-in-game-invedit-apr-13/
It gives you a handy-dandy "extra" inventory screen with widgets for stuff you can do with text commands. It's great for creative mode too, just you only get to see it on SMP if you are an op.
Also, if you don't already, you should have mcpatcher (http://www.minecraftdl.com/tag/mcpatcher/) installed, it makes managing all your mods / texture packs EASY
