Has anyone tried making a lighthouse with Lava yet? I'm thinking of building a lighthouse with a diamond shaped glass lava container on top and I'm wondering how practical it would be (and how smooth lava placement would go)

Is there any reason we can't have the lockable chest mod to stop stealing?

Works fine, so long as the lava is completely isolated from any wood. Make a bowl shape to place the lava in so it doesn't flow over any edges and you should be fine.

If it's too big an area then just to the edge of the water in I is ok (I added the land as an afterthought since I have a mine that stretches probably out to there)

Just signed on

I found my front door left open

my whole front area and part of the balcony was torn up and is a pit now

someone put a portal in my front yard

I was on roughly 7 hours 50 minutes ago so it happened between now and then.

someone put a new portal on evans lawn too

and cut a hole in our road

and jedi's boat like wooden thing has a new portal right in the middle of it

I got 1 question about minecraft .

I made a account and i'm using the free version of course but it won't let me build anything , it just give em a lot of blocks :/ so i was wondering do i need to buy the game so i can build stuff like swords and most things?

I would really like to play this game looks fun but i want to try it first.

sorry double post.

Mods, PLEASE tell me we can get the userlist from those ~8 hours. Kira has been hit by the guy planting portals everywhere and stealing Obsidian to make those portals. And now we know he was one of the people on during those ~8 hours. This is our best chance to nab this guy who's been the worst griefer we've had in quite a while.



The land in I would make the claim pretty big for one person so I just marked it up to the edge of the water like you wanted.

Yeah the free version is extremely limited. If you want to do anything worthwhile in this game you need to buy it. All you can do in the free version is make very basic buildings. The fun of looking for things to mine and exploring caves isn't in the free version.

I'm on it. Checking the logs now. I'll start 10 hours ago to the end of log.

Oh come on now, don't lie to him about what he can build. Someone built the friggin earth in Creative mode you know.

What's in creative mode:
1.Creative mode can generate relatively simplistic landscapes. There's a notable lack of smoothness to the landscape compared to the latest beta.
2. Caves in creative mode are large multi-levelled structures with plenty of open space. the Lower levels of a cave are usually flooded as a result of the fluid physics.
3. Fluids will attempt to fill any air block below them or to the sides of them. A single block of water or lava could fill a stadium if at the right height. The game does not spawn fluids above sea-level. Lava does not exist at ground level. Fluids cannot be brought to higher elevations without hacks to allow the spawning of water or lava blocks or map editors.
4. You are given blocks, and do not need to procure them.
5. Most blocks do not have special effects. The sponge block prevents water from existing near it.
6. Lighting comes at two-levels. In light shadow and in sunlight. If it's in sunlight, it's fully lit, if it's not in direct sunlight, it appears slightly darker, but still very well lit, even if your at the bottom of the world.
7. Hard bedrock box surrounds the map below sea level.
8. Outside of a very limited ability to use fluids, and no ability to create light sources (which you don't need in creative mode), you are not limited in complex your buildings can be. Note, unlike what Antibody said, YOU CAN MAKE VERY COMPLEX BUILDINGS!

The latest beta features:
1. Health bar and enemies.
2. Need to gather blocks.
3. Crafting.
4. The nether.
5. More realistic fluid physics. Fluids are now "limited" if you will and no longer try to spread infinitely.
6. Can generate additional areas as you explore. No appreciable hard sides to the map.
7. Bedrock bottom is no longer flat, but rough. Can have holes in it that lead to a void. Falling in void causes death.
8. New ways to incorporate fluids and custom lighting into structures.
9. Lighting varies from sunlit to total darkness.
10. Caves are narrow, cramped and dark. Can range from small open spaces in the earth to large multi-level tunnels. Very few open spaces compared to creative mode. Occasionally, you may encounter large vertical shafts that lead to the surface.

You're confusing lying with ignorance. I never explored the more complex aspects, because I didn't know they were there, and therefore told him of my simple experience with it. Apparently that experience was only scratching the surface. :shrug:

How am I supposed to know you never bothered?

Obviously you're not supposed to know that I didn't know about just what you could do, but you also don't have to immediately jump to the conclusion that I'm lying, as some sort of sinister plot to keep him away from Minecraft or something.

Well, I checked the logs. If Blahberry is stealing the Obsidian, then he isn't the one making the portals.

(Server time, Germany) Exceprts from log:


Someone else griefed firebos' home and built the portals. This log is loooong. I'm gonna need another set of eyes in case I missed something. I'm hoping Undone will take a look at it. Its the last log on the list Undone.

No, I suppose I don't have to jump to the conclusion that you were lying, and I'm sorry that I offended you with a throwaway comment, but that second part is just crazy.

Thanks for apologizing. Now that I know that I don't know enough about the free version to judge it, I wont discuss it anymore in the future. As for the second part, I wasn't being serious, I just like exaggerating things.

I'm on it.

I have to say I'm just as baffled as you are as to why I'm a mod now, and if it's that much of a problem I'd like to resign. As you all pointed out I haven't been very active on the server for about a month, but as Undone explained it was because of family problems and, honestly, a bit of "This server svcks now". But I said in the meeting that I'd return if another communtiy project was started (AKA The City) so I am back, like it or not.

Although I quite agree that there are more deserving people who could be mods (Not including you Anti :meh:), and I already talked with someone about having my modship but he said he doesn't want the responsibility, which is fair enough.

This server is a damn sausage fest. By the nine divines get in here.

I've expanded the west road to end at the delta @ Pov & Suffca, moving northwest from where it previously ended. Should a large bridge be built to lead into the city's land, or just a dock?

A bridge to the new city would be a better idea imho

since boats are kinda buggy atm

or maybe an underwater tunnel

Despite being tricky to build I believe an underwater tunnel would be far more impressive.

Is the server down?


EDIT: NEVER MIND.

I can't connect

and now I can

I was building one myself in single-player, so I didn't have to walk so far to fix my floating irrigation. It can be really tough, especially getting the water to flow all one way.
