I trimmed that list a bit from the site. Some other command-based stuff and custom-map stuff that I cut. Feel free to put anything below that I missed.

Sorry, I had a typo. Not sure how, but I meant to put the 2nd.

You were using the numberpad and thought it was the order of a telephone with the 1-2-3 row and 7-8-9 row switched? I dunno, but possible.


I vote for the week of the 8th to switch over (or different spawn point, or whatever). Give them a week for any last-minute patches, since that'll let any critical bugs get addressed.

Around the 8th sounds good to me. We'll see where we are at then as to a new map or an addition to our current one. Maybe we can schedule a little release event. :)

Moment of silence for my village. Some asshat put a bunch of lava all over it, killing most of the golems and the villagers who were mercilessly penned up in the burning buildings. Oh, and I'm the asshat. I figured since we're going to be doing a reset that I'd go on a destruction spree.

Fire fire FIRE!!

You're such a dad.
Wait, the opposite of that.

Well ya. I wasn't sure what the final decision was going to be, move spawn, or flatten. I was in favour of flatten, but somebody vandalizing prior to that is a rather dickish move IMO.

Personally I think it'd be cool to have a bunch of images of the stuff in the world prior to it being "shut down" or whatever. People have some neat stuff.

You didn't read my whole post. I did it. I was calling myself an asshat.

As to being in the final, my builds are pretty simplistic. I think anyone could redo them if needed.

I'm not on the server, but I didn't know where else to put this. Plus I figure you guys will get a kick out of it.

My game had some corrupted chunks that Aussie needed to fix. I was busy with school stuff anyway, so it didn't matter. One afternoon a few days ago our daughter asked if she could play and I told her to go ahead and play on my world. She said she spawned a few cows. Tonight when Aussie went in to fix the chunks, this is what he found:
Toooo cute!.jpg village view.jpg


That ocean of red are all cows. I can't stop laughing!

Cary did the same thing with Villagers and Mooshrooms.

My son once made an auto chicken farm, then didn't play with us for a few days.

We couldn't figure out why our server started lagging so bad for so long.

I killed and bred enough chickens today to enchant 3 items with 30xp. I am considering releasing them to the world.

1.8 is out on schedule. Changelog here.

Let's see how many bugs there are. I think it's a smart move that we're not doing anything with the server for a week. The "most critical" bugs will get patched in that time.
 
PatrThom

PatrThom

Well, my server is already updated. ;)

I will enjoy play either way we go. I haven't done enough yet to be overly attached to the current world but can always explore to find the new stuff if we do keep it.

@ThreadNecromancer 's Castle


@ThreadNecromancer Below ground - But cool. EVERYTHING was underground. Crops, tree farm, animals, etc. Others may be doing this too, but his castle above didn't have anything really, so I was suspicious. Cool setup.


@GasBandit 's Monument


@figmentPez 's Island


@AussieT 's Ruins - Cool "Ancient Ruins" replica here. I can only imagine now that mossy cobblestone and cracked stone brick can be made how this would have been enhanced.


AussieTizzers' Ship


@AussieT 's Villagers


@Aussie


@Shakey 's Prototype Dome - This one may be in-progress because I don't think that much was done on the map render.


Nether Network - Spawn portal is on the left there.


@Aussie - Btw I'd love an explanation of this thing, or a link, or whatever.


@Aussie


@PatrThom 's Underground Complex - I fluked out finding this. Almost no surface presence for this person. Found through a weird offshoot of the Nether Network.


@AussieT - On top of the ceiling bedrock of the Nether


Not-Current World Map & December Eriol - In-game maps for comparison


More Modern Eriol Map


@Eriol 's House
Please post direct links (URL or the image links) to the images if you wish your captions made/changed. I'm horrific with memory of who did what, so I will caption whatever is blank (there's a lot that's blank) and/or edit this post as well with labels.

If you want any images added to the gallery, PM me and we'll work something out to get them up there.


We need a name for this world. We had Ragnar, and then Caprica. What do we want this to be called? And our next? The possibilities are endless.

Edit: Updated with almost everything labelled.

Edit2: Some extra images from Aussie's stuff, and everything is labelled except 2 things. The "Kelethin-like" stuff near spawn, and the castle north-west of Dave's place.

I'm pretty sure I know most of them. Too hard to post them all on a phone. Over lunch I should have a chance at it if someone doesn't beat me to it.

If this is below the previous one, well, you know who it is.




Pretty sure this is Aussie's place.


This is Aussies work.


- This was me working on a biodome. I had hoped to do a full glass dome, but I don't think that will happen. Maybe I'll start again on the next world.

The white cloth suspended spire lake thing, and the giant cake, are Drifter.

The Corellian Corvette, and nearby structures, I think are Mattgrub.

The "cool ancient ruins" is Aussie.

But somebody walled it and "screwed around" with it. It's linked through a "highway" to the place that's the image right after it, so probably their doing, but I don't really know.
