Oh, I know. I jumped off on purpose just because I knew I couldn't die.

I had an idea last night as I was trying to fall asleep to try to make my house on the server laid out the same as my house IRL.

My plan, atm, is to build the house on top of a mountain with a staircase going down to the ground, then clear out the entire moutnain so it's floating in the air.

Not nearly as impressive as you guys, I know, but still.

Duh.

Too late.

'Sides, I'm sure I'll need material as I go, so it'll be nice to mine the mountain. And TNT helps...

I love using TNT. Last night was the first time I'd ever tried it. It's awesome. Doesn't work so well underwater, though...

Pray and God shall deliver.

Belkira has a nice view of a natural waterfall. And is far enough away from Vataro that she won't have to worry about her stuff being burned to the ground.

I can see Belkira's house from where I am building, finally someone building near me.

If you look out your house and see a huge horrible grey eyesore Belk, thats my house. The burning blocks are the remains of my old house...

So, I think we need a Kit to give us glass, because mining sand is getting hard (having to go further and further out, and I got lost for 20 minutes earlier today). If you'd rather not make it that easy for us though, I understand.

Also, I decided to have fun with an afk Paskil:

If there is actually a way to change to that view at a whim, I'd have that persons babies. I've only seen the view twice on Paskil and it's amazing seeing the mine system.

This is actually super easy to do. Step 1 is get GIMP (or if you have photoshop, use that)

Make sure minecraft is not running.

Type appdata in your start search bar for windows. One of the results should be a folder named appdata, go in to it, then roaming, then .minecraft . Next there is a .jar file you can open in winrar in there, that has a whole bunch of stuff in it. find terrain.png, and drag it to your desktop. Copy it somewhere you'll remember(to make a back up). and then right click and select "edit with gimp" youll need to zoom in, but find the two or three panels that make up dirt. Rectangle select that area, and take your eraser to it. Now, save the file (making sure it is still terrain.png) and drag it from your desktop back into the minecraft.jar directory. It ask if you wanna replace the file, hit yes. Load up mincraft, which now has invisible dirt, letting you see forever it almost every diretion under you. Just drag the backup into the .jar when you want it back to normal

I made a custom map using that method, and built this. You can see the invisible texture effect where the invisible sand touches the star.

Who was the jerk that buried TNT underneath my base...

Well, it's pieced back together. There is even more hollow under it now though.

I don't know how long they were under there. I just wanted to get some sand for a cactus garden, and clean up the entrance a little. There was one under each pillar, and a bunch of others buried under it.

Is the server down, or am I not on the list?

It says "Failed to Connect to the server Unknown Host 'IP ADDRESS HERE'"

Well, I guess I'll wait for Shaow then

Edit:
I seem to be able to connect now.

I can't wait for the next update in which lava burns through glass like it should.

*Read this in Fat Tony's voice*

So I logged in today and I notice a road next to my base. Let's just set the record straight, I am not Arthur Dent therefore you cannot build your little "highway" through my area. You may want to plan a detour before I start planning the 38th parallel.

Creeper must be filled with TNT!

Anyone else super excited about the Halloween update? It should bring about biomes, Hellgates, fish, new monsters, 5 new types of blocks, pumpkins, and fix multiplayer being invincible! It seems like a lot to get done in the next few weeks, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it makes it out just fine :D

Seriously. I played single player last night and was getting frustrated and bored at night.

Not for me. I just started a new world in single player, so I have no weapons and no armor.

I am also not going far from the spawn point. I've learned my lesson.



That's awesome.

Good to know. I just wanted to clarify in case you had plans of turning it into a sky road or a underground path.

Finally started my first real effort at diamond mining yesterday. Dug down to level 1 (actually poked a hole through to the GREAT ABYSS OF BLUE DEATH, which I quickly covered up). Jumped up to level 10, then to level 13, and started digging and digging and digging. Made 4 long tunnels, two of which led to diamonds. Had a couple VERY scary encounters with lava flooding my tunnel (one time I caught on fire but managed to throw all my good items before I died - ran back and collected everything. WIN!), and a few close encounters with creepers and zombies, I managed to get diamonds in two of my paths, for a total of 11 in about an hour and a half. Only got a bit of iron, but a fair amount of redstone, and about 4 gold ore (yay useless ore...).

Also made a huge bridge between all my spread out areas. Pretty spiffy! Going to add minecarts to them once I get enough iron.

Hey Magic, I just had an idea. Why don't you use TNT for the bill of your chicken? As long as no one climbs up to hit it, you should be fine.

Name is not familiar to me.

Belkira, it's time:
