Just wanted to mention that I like what you did with the map, Mr. E. The tower looks much better now and that strip mine is very cool. I looked at it with a transparent texture pack and wow, you did a lot of tunneling. Now that we seem to be pretty much "set" in terms of getting materials, I'm at a loss to think of what there is to do now other than build and explore. But that's the beauty of a shared map, because even though I'm not sure what to do next, others will be.I also wanted to warn, in case it wasn't obvious to everyone, that we shouldn't explore this map too much. And by that I mean, don't go wandering off for hours in a random direction, because the more we explore, the larger the file size becomes, and the more of a pain it will be to download the map each time. I think it'll be pretty difficult to get the file size to unreasonable levels, but it's still something we should keep in mind.
Thanks. My goal was to make it so that the people following me had ample tools to accomplish whatever their (hopefully ambitious
) tasks might be. The strip mine wasn't hard... I do that as one of the first things in most of my singleplayer maps anyway. I think your water towers and settlement planning/clearing are equally impressive.
I fully expect that by the time the map comes back around to me, it'll be the biggest map I've played on for single-player. I never seem to let a world survive much past 10 or 20 MB before I just wipe it off the face of the earth... Though now with named worlds I may simply let them fade into obscurity instead.
Ha. I like the diamond shirt. The "ONE MORE BLOCK" shirt is also funny. I especially like things that only make sense to someone who has played the game/watched the movie/read the book.
To be honest, none of them really grabbed at me. I much preferred the http://www.thinkgeek.com/mlp/minecraft/index.shtml?itm=minecraft_t-shirt&rkgid=274501645&cpg=ogty1&source=google_tees&gclid=CMaHjK326KcCFYi8KgodLxPXaQ offerings.
