So if there's no game map, how are you guys keeping track of all these names and the direction of each location?

I recall seeing some youtube video of somebody using railroad tracks and riding a cart, why don't you guys connect everything with that? Or is that not usable in multiplayer?

And, since this is multiplayer, why on earth are you guys so spread out that it can take an hour to get to a location?

I mean I want to see what everyone has made but that's quite a long time to travel.

See, I want to buy minecraft after hearing that it can take two whole hours to journey from one place to another.

Now I'm interested.

So, how dangerous is it to travel at night? I've heard that there are apparently asplodey things that are green... I dunno what those are supposed to be.

Name - Distance from spawn

Ruins of Aldgate - 5 minutes
Tornhemn - at spawn
Gray Death Legion Stronghold - 2 minutes
Angband - 30 minutes
Gamgee's Statues - 10 minutes
Moria - 1 minute
Mordor - 28 seconds
Old Undonia - 5 minutes
New Undonia - 2 hours
Neo Montreal - 35 minutes


Most major settlements, I'm sure I missed most.

Well I believe Bonemonster headed north originally in search of a snowy place to begin his project and when he found a suitable biome he began building. I assume that it's the same with others, they get an idea and then they travel off in a random direction looking for the perfect place to begin.

In single player it's very dangerous. Skeletons shoot arrows at you, Zombies growl and try to maul you, spiders try to jump and hit you, and the creepers :cold:...... both creepers and spiders can survive in sunlight, but spiders you can hear from farther off. Creepers are hard to hear especially when you're facing one and his buddy comes from behind and explodes. Creepers are my worst enemies.

Multiplayer is still a work in progress (well technically the whole game is still a work in progress seeing how it's not even in the beta stage yet :laugh: ) however and you can't take damage in it, but it's fun to see what people build and to get fresh ideas on how to make better buildings.

By ship, sailing north from Tornhemn's docks, you can get in Old Undonia in 5 minutes, following the east coast.

Yeah, I fixed that.

Which might be the largest single place in our server?

Tornhemn, New Undonia, Gray Death Legion Stronghold, Gamgee's Statues or Angband?

Mordor is not "at spawn". Its at least 28 seconds north of the spawn thank you very much! bliviongate:

That would be Tornhemn. New Undonia is still not as large and does not contain as much buildings as Tornhemn, yet! It's getting close though.

Ok, I make more accurate distance for each location I know


@Cliff Remember that Gray Death Legion Stronghold is used over 41 000 blocks of stone alone.

Well I'm definitely interested... I may buy it soon, but because of the end of the semester that I mentioned earlier, I wont actually be able to build anything until I know for sure I'll have internet in December and January, lest anything I make fall into the hands of griefers while I'm away. I may buy it and just look around though.

So what are the rules for building, exactly? I think one of you mentioned some time ago that tunneling under settlements isn't allowed. Are we allowed to noclip on this server? That seems like it would make things easier. Also, like I asked before, can you or can you not build on the ocean? And is there a limit to how high you can build?

Theres an limit up and down and you can build anywhere, you can also build pretty much anything on the server now.

You're allowed to build under settlements as long as you don't grief somebody's basemant in the process. I've dug two Thieves Guild headquarters under two settlements, along with tunnels connecting them and I've never been scolded for it.
These places are now abandoned, but might prove an interesting discovery.

No use of noclip. In fact, I don't think it exists without modding the game.

Sure, you can build on the ocean. You must first build supports that start from the bottom of the ocean to the surface, then you can use the ocean surface block to place others besides it, without building more supports to the bottom.

There's a limit on the height. I don't know how much exactly, but it's pretty high. Unless you make some sort of Babel tower, you'll be fine.


By the way, for anyone who'd wish to build a railway with minecarts supposedly working tomorrw (or right now), I have a crapload of iron in my stash that I had planned to use for it. I'll gladly give the location to whoever wishes to do it.
I had planned originally to use the old Thieves Guild tunnels as a start to connect Tornhemn and Aldgate. Using the guild halls as "train stations".

One more thing (for now), if something gets flooded, is there any way to drain the water? Like if I built a tunnel underwater, and I accidentally removed a ceiling block and water flooded in?

Thanks for answering all my questions guys.

You can fix it by blocking the source of the leak. So if you remove a ceiling block, replace it and the water that came through will disappear. With lava, you have to place a block on every lava tile to complete remove it.

Ah, okay then.

More questions, but I think I'm running out haha.

When is the server open, exactly? And once I have my username and post it here, what steps do I have to take to be able to play on the server?

My statues are about 10 minutes or so out by boat. Crossing directly too them over land? No idea. Probably more, and not advised. Project X is about 6 hours out in a direction I will not disclose.

The server is open 24/7 unless Wampbit has to take it down for some fixing/maintenance, but that never really last long.
Once you post your username, we'll PM you the IP.

Undone, you are currently writing a reply. I'm sure I just ninja'd ya!
Edit; Um, nope. I didn't it seems.

I wandered off to build my own settlement in peace while we were figuring out something for us to all do together, and I teleported TeeHee over to help with the construction. Oranos managed to find it himself when we gave him directions. We're the three only "official" residents, although Oranos hasn't been on in a while anyway. Other people have been teleported in to see how it's coming along, and I've been teleporting out to other people to see what they're doing. Distance is mainly an anti-griefing measure.


We have hostile mobs (and, for some reason, sheep) disabled for now, until damage is implemented in multi-player.


Currently we rent a dedicated server (at a cost of $35/month split between us) which is online 24/7. Once you've posted your username, someone will PM you the IP and you'll be able to join using that.




Damn you! *shakes fist*

Okay, thanks for the answers. I have too much homework this week to buy something as addictive as this, but I'll probably buy it sometime during the weekend or early next week.

Who knows, maybe if I can find someplace far enough anyway to build I may be able to do so without worrying about griefing.

So, is there an ocean on the server? Or does the land just expand forever on all sides?

No oceans, though there are some very large lakes. The other side is always in reach, but not necessarily in sight.

Ah, okay then.

Also, how exactly do you guys determine what direction is north, south, east, and west? Because I haven't seen a compass in any of the videos I've watched...

In multiplayer you can type /compass into the chat to get a compass bearing. In single player, I navigate by the sun.

Type /compass

or craft one

Crafted compasses only point to spawn. Which, in single player, I find more useful than actual compass bearings anyway.
