I can't seem to connect to the server, is it supposed to be off or is my pc acting up?

edit: thanks povuholo

I think it's still offline.

I made my first TNT! How far away should I be before detonating (just one block)?

Ah...game froze while using the furnace...

Who's responsible for the bridge and the tower on the BGSF server? They're amazing structures.

Well, that huge stone tower next to the spawn was mine.

After seeing what few TNT's can do... take good disntance for anything valuable just in case.

That's what you get for building a tower that explodes after 3 movies.

Barad Dur will rise once more!

:rofl:

Will the first server stay or are we all moving to the second?

There's only 1 server! Just two networks with which you can connect to it to bypass hamachi

Also server's up!

My, my, my... :ahhh:

Great job, you just blew away about 20 - 30 hours of work.
I'll check can I salvage that. But if I rebuild, I expect some help.

There was alot of signs at the caves under my tower which told that you are near Barad Dur...

edit - You had to toss that ring into the moat did you

Yeah, I'll help out. Wampbit and I rebuilt a fair bit last night based off some old screenshots, weren't sure about the interior though.

And I didn't see any signs. Like I said, I didn't know I was close...

I'm creating a very long path from my first base to another mountain. The path is of cobblestone and a fence is on either side.

Also, found this nifty tool: a cartographer. It maps your explored world! I can see my own base too.

My map: http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww283/xuerebx/map1-oblique-day.png

You can see the path leaving from my base. (middle of the map)

Pretty cool.

EDIT: Ooh just realised I can see where the magma is! (bottom)

Just finished playing with Saurok and Wambit, had a pretty good time, slight lag, but overall it was fun.

I built my wonderful castle of doom right next to a random lava waterfall in the middle of my snow map. There's a rooftop garden and everything!

How rare exactly is diamond?! I've been digging at, below, and above lava level and I have yet to see a single block of it. <_<

very rare.

I have found about 18 pieces of diamond so far.
I found diamond mostly near lava.

Server is down for a couple of minutes - it'll be up very shortly! Also I'm just making the maps - I'll add maps at the end of each day or something.

» Wed Jul 21, 2010 8:02 am

I'm bit lost.

How do you add custom character textures?

» Wed Jul 21, 2010 9:49 am

Awesome.

It's alive! ALIVE! (The server that is)

» Wed Jul 21, 2010 6:15 am

Those maps just show what a small area we've been working in!

» Tue Jul 20, 2010 11:52 pm

Is anyone going to be playing on the server now? I might try and play.

There's a few of us on just now, but we're having recurring problems with java crashes.

*Sigh* Mining Obsidian (To get rid of the lava) is SOOO boring. 15 seconds to break a block with a Diamond Pickaxe and 50 with anything else.

Go to http://skins.tkte.ch/(which is where I got my stormtrooper skin) and download whichever one you like, then go to minecraft.net, log in, and the top of the site you should see preferences, go there and upload the skin you downloaded and save.

Aww, it's full.

Finally my road is built! It took a couple of days.

Let me tell you, it wasn't easy.

Also my TNT experiment went sound.
