I seemed to get a lot of coal digging in the public mine. You might want to try there.

That's the one near the guest house/Buster's house, isn't it?

I need torches so I can see where I'm digging though and for that I need coal. Has anybody found a good place to get that yet?

If you need more coal, feel free to raid my chest for some, Roo!

I didn't think beds worked on servers.

They do if you all use one at the same time, otherwise only if one person is on.

Thanks, Neon! I appreciate it!

Your place is the one between Buster's and mine, isn't it?

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 5:55 pm

I guess. I'm the one on the closest mountain ^^

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 6:15 pm

I have a few extra stacks of coal in the mine under the guest house. you can have one if you want.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 7:05 pm

Thanks, Buster!

Not sure if the place I'm thinking of is really on a mountain. It has a sign out the front saying "Construction Site".

So, i left some bread in the mailbox out infront of my house if anybody needs it.
and i didn't find any sheep today, so I started on the library instead.
Also there's pumpkin seeds in there if anyone wants to start a patch.

Beds only work if everyone currently online is in bed at the same time.

I'll get on quick and get you the coordinates... But then I gotta get off.

Beds work for setting the respawn point even if you just lay down for a moment.

For skipping the night, everyone in the same world needs to be in bed at the same time. People who aren't near a bed could quickly log out to skip the night while all others are in bed. People in the Nether for example aren't counting as they are in another world.

Just to warn you as well, do not try to sleep in the nether. It never ends well.

A storm here took out my Internet connection for a bit, so sorry if anyone got kicked off the server. No data should be lost.
Also, I tinkered with the server a little, and it should (theoretically) be faster now. If anyone is still having problems, let me know.

I take it you learned that first hand then Kyuunado?

Once... Once...

Also I have been leaving people some food and stuff in their mail chests, or if not provided I have left them a chest. So keep an eye out.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 10:34 pm

please do not kill the sheep I penned up in town. it took forever to find a non-horse somewhere near spawn. same for any cows or chickens I add to the pen later, least not until there are at least three, so a new one can be bred from the other two after it's dead.

also half of the beds in the guest house are in. the downstairs is open to visitors now.

By the way, what's the seed? i want to try something.

without access to the server files i can't map the actual buildings, so i've put stars on the map where people seem to be building/digging.
except the red one. the red one is spawn.

positions may not be entirely accurate as i'm guessing based on what the places looked like.

Nice! That's really helpful!

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 6:59 pm

also, the best place I've found to get cows and sheep so far is the forest on the north east side of the hills the castle is built into.

though leading them back to the pen in town is difficult.

No that I know where sheep are, I can make a bed! Yay!

Oh, and for the skype group that I just noticed existed, I have Hlaoroo's skype already, so if you'd send me an invite into it next time your on Hla, that'd be great..

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:16 am

Done, Rook!

If there's any troubles let MrNeonShot know because he's the admin of the skype group and sometimes skype likes to be fidgety and only let admins add people. It should work though.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 7:12 pm

so... i did some exploring in SSP creative mode to expand the map i made...

And, well, I may have gone a smidge overboard.

Wow! It's pretty cool to see the patterns that the world generator creates with the rivers

It all looks like a giant puzzle!

dtlux1 · Post by **dtlux1** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 9:03 pm

I was the only one on the server, so beds worked.

I really need to start exploring areas that aren't near the spawn. That is a big area unexplored.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 9:06 pm

the desert areas look kinda like crackers from this angle...

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 9:39 pm

Yellow, the server still has connection issues :/

CHAOKOCartoons · Post by **CHAOKOCartoons** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 4:37 am

Using this map, I went on a long journey to obtain farming goods. I found the village near the northern desert and obtained A LOT of potatoes and carrots. I then went into the nether, found a stronghold and obtained a bunch of nether wart and sole sand. I also found a bunch of gold and horse armor but that's not very important. The point is, we now have a giant farm behind my house that has around 100+ carrots and potatoes (each) and around 50+ nether wart.

Also I'd like to point out that according to our map we have 5 underwater temples (four are southwest in a large square

), 1 plains village, 1 desert village, 1 snow village(?), and at least 3 canyons.
There's also a weird, empty rectangular zone in a forest northeast of our town that I'd like to investigate at some point. The map says nothing is there but it looks to perfect to be randomly generated.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 8:52 am

What's the server's bandwidth limit? Maybe that's where the bottleneck is occurring?

That's probably just a chunk that didn't populate properly when I was exploring. Like the gaps in the cove or the grassy strips in the snow to the east. No guarantee it'll be the same on the server.

CHAOKOCartoons · Post by **CHAOKOCartoons** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 2:05 pm

Oh, well I'll still investigate it eventually anyway. It'd be cool if there was actually jut a flat patch of land there!

dtlux1 · Post by **dtlux1** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 10:08 pm

I started to actually build a house above the ground, and I planted a lot of sugar cane by where I am. I need to finish building my house at some point, but I think I may start to explore the area more first.

CHAOKOCartoons · Post by **CHAOKOCartoons** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 4:50 am

Okay, I have some good news, and I have some "why have you forsaken us" news.
The good news is, The farm has been producing hundreds of potatoes and carrots, so I put 20 baked potatoes in all the buildings (I put 45 in the snow one so they last long enough that we build a rail car to get there because I never want to walk/climb up there again

). I somehow forgot the carrots but I mean... there's a whole farm of them just go pick them... it's actually because I forgot to put them in the box

. There are also street lamps along the roads now, for style!

And now for the "why have you forsaken us" news:
So I was smelting some clay to make a farm supply building when I realized we need more furnaces, so I began to build a charcoal factory and put some furnaces in it to start out. I then cut down some trees and re-planted them so we would get more trees, but we needed charcoal to make the charcoal so I kept chopping trees then planting the saplings until I had a bunch of charcoal. That also meant the amount of trees multiplied each time... sooooo... a large portion of our open plains has turned into a forest.

So if you ever think you need wood or charcoal...
Just remember this...
No you don't.

Also that mine looks amazing. I just went in there for the first time out of curiosity and DANG!

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 7:12 pm

So I figured out how to make a scaled Millennium Falcon :3

I used world edit for the center of the ship, but I think I can figure out how to rebuild it into the server :3
It might take me awhile, though.
