  • Except I'm stripmining the sand underwater and the cobble in my portion of the mountain. Captialism, HO! Thankfully, structural support is an unknown concept in the minecraft world.
    Keep it purdy. I'm already dreading fixing those strip-mined sandbanks near spawn.

    My tactic is to take nothing but some Iron, Sticks, and a craftbench out, away from everything, dig down, mine a cavern till my inventory is full, teleport home. Then spend a half hour wandering about trying to figure out where the fuck I left that cavern.

    Ditto that. Though, I always add two sideways blocks at the bottom, and make the top a different colour, to make it visually distinct. It just seems a little messy for Tertius, though.

    Meh, 3 days after I filled in a couple of those, they were once again mined.

    Ignore what I said about gold boots. Ignore it.

  • Jason showed me the market a week or so ago. It's pretty hot shit.
    Also, my immense dig will continue upon my return to the states. Probably Tuesday. The new powered rails have me excited, despite their ludicrous expense.
  • I've implemented drag-and-drop trading with other players. No commands. Just punch another player with an empty hand. If the other player punches back, a trade can begin.

    Fucking cool.

    ...that was probably me.
  • I want to create this even though I know the evil dictator Draconian Analfist won't let me. :(

  • Maybe someone ought to set up a server just for that sort of shit. Anybody gonna take the challenge?
  • @Ro: Someone's built a huge wall near me that you could graffiti that over.
  • My design for a two-way automated stop with powered rails. Carts are accelerated up the ramp, because the detector powers its adjacent rails, but they brake on the down-slope rail. Pressing the button then sends you on your way again. You only really need one piece of raised track, but you could easily turn it into a scenic detour, or whatever. You've got about 30 blocks' worth of track to play with between powered sections. It needed the extra gap between the rails and the buttons because I couldn't press the button from inside the cart otherwise.

    It would take so much dye to create that and currently I do not have a lot.

    I'm awaiting for Jason to add cloth and dye to the market.
  • I'm awaiting for Jason to add cloth and dye to the market.
    It is possible that sometime in the near future I will create a separate dyed cloth market.

    If I was wishy-washy about it before, I am not now. Ro knows the way to Jason's heart is through Picard.
  • Hmm that cart switch thing is really elegant in it's simplicity. It has given me a better idea for how to setup what I am going to do.
  • Attention: Yes, /spawn and /home spots have moved. I apologize. I combined two plugins into one plugin that has more functionality and uses less memory.
  • The server is back up.

    FOR SALE: One not-quite-so-finished castle in spitting distance of spawn. Make an offer.

    I'm interested, but I'm more interested in knowing what exactly you expect us to pay you with.

    Also, interior/exterior pictures please.

    How about two pennies, flattened by a coal-driven locomotive, held together with a piece of chewing gum? Close enough?
  • Alaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, I need to talk to you about renovatiooooooooooooons!
  • Sure thing should be on tonight.
  • A new market has been built in a more central and far more accessible spot just yards from the spawn point. Look for the shops with the colorfully-striped tent tops.

    To use a shop:
    - Punch signs to see what the shop is selling/buying and for how much.
    - Signs on the awnings also indicate what is being offered/bought.
    - To sell an item, hold it in your hand and right-click the vendor sign that is buying that item.
    - To purchase an item, hold gold ingots in your hand and right-click the vendor sign that is selling that item.

    Get gold ingots by selling crap you don't need! This includes useless surplusses of dirt and cobblestone! Better gold returns come from fishing, farming wheat, sugarcane, or cactus, turning in redstone, etc. Have a big glass project? Skip the smelting wait and buy from the market! Dices! Chops! Purees! Much, much more!

    But wait, that's not all! The old market has been converted into a wool market! Lots of colors on sale: Red, blue, orange, yellow, purple, green, pink, magenta, cyan, brown, gray, white, black, light blue....
  • Yes, don't break signs. Only newbs do that. >____>
  • Dear members of Tertius: Please update to Minecraft 1.5 now.
  • We're having one hell of a thunderstorm. If the server goes down, I apologize. A lightning strike already shut down Internet access for a few minutes once tonight. Severe weather is expected through Saturday evening.
  • My power just came back on also. Looks like some minor flooding is in store again.
