You are more than welcome to work on/in/with Fort Walrus, the one on the big mountain with 2 railway lines coming from it. The more the merrier.

Alternately there is my new ocean tower, but there isn't really much quarrying to be done there for obvious reasons.

BTW!! There is a zombie spawner in the desert beside my house, on ground level, where the long tunnel goes to our town. It's perfect for exp grinder if someone has an idea how to make it

Havn't been on this in a while....will pop on again soon.

I thought about building a giant mob trap, problem is its a bit of an eyesore will need to build it way out of range of the town.

My username is Vimmers, I assumed there was one world that everyone in this thread is a part of? If so I'd like to be a part of it! :angel:

That thing? Ah, that's nothing. Pfft.
You're very funny :lol

I've been building my own server, slowly, along with doing a lot of other things, which is why I haven't had much time for the redcafe one.

Will have to get it started soon enough.

I need some wool next time we're on! Getting so annoyed at being sent all the way back to the spawn point and need to make a bed!

Ralaks - white listed, welcome on board :)

maps are getting a bit complicated to render, last one was 25 megabytes!! I need to figure out a more practical way of making them

So I think we need a shopping market. Obviously this would all have to be based on trust, but as all our houses are open anyway that wouldnt change anything. I propose a market area, with chests and signs over them reading: Owner / Buy / Sell, so 1 diamond / 64 cobble

So I would be buying 1 diamond for 64 cobble. I would put 5 diamond in the chest and people could buy all 5 off of me for 5 x 64 cobble

Also we need to have some Arena battles.

Interesting idea though, will give it some thought.

I know some servers have an economy plugin. That might be a good place to start.
So far Walrus has said to keep it vanilla, but my server has that. Had citizens too which is currently the best quest plug in sadly enough, as I don't have the RAM or the CPU to run it.

In my experience is that the good side of mods is that they introduce things that would take a long time to set up, or would be impossible to set up manually but are a lot of fun. The bad side of them is that they make Minecraft into a poor imitation of other games, or make the normal stuff to easy. Having several arenas around, which all have different mobs coming out at different times, and trying to conquer them all is loads of fun, as is trying to discover all the secret chests on the map. Guns, teleportation, cheap shops, etc aren't fun at all in my opinion. But then it completely depends on what you want.

The really bad side of mods is how often they need to be updated, how often they are broken, how long it takes to sort everything out, and how long there is no update for them. Whenever a new major minecraft update comes out, it can take two weeks for bukkit (minecraft modded server) to get updated, and another two weeks for all the mods to be updated.

I have to say I have had a lot of fun playing vanilla online. Far more than I expected, as I have run through minecraft a lot of times.

- Oh but probably the best thing about mods is that they encourage more interaction, but you don't want Minecraft to become a bad WoW.

Honestly, the only mod I would consider is something that would speed up and automate the map making process.

I don't see how we need a market, that's not a competitive server, we don't fight to win a prize or something, most of the time everyone is busy with their creations and if they do need something, all they need to do is ask for a hand, either be resources or participation.

Not liking the sound of new AI for mobs, heard rumours that zombies will be changed so that they hoarde more and can knock down doors!
"Zombies:
They will break down wooden doors on hard difficulty and knock on other difficulties.
They are hostile towards villagers
When killed by the player, they rarely drop iron ingots, iron swords, iron shovels and iron helmets
They seldomly mass-attack villages
"

Woah.

this is the most comprehensive changelog with screenshots I can find:

1.2 has been released! : Minecraft

:lol: Good call, shame that the ground isn't deeper really, I would have liked the sea level to be around 80. The sky doesn't need to be 186 blocks high from sea level.

On the vanillaness of the server, are more private trades acceptable?

My Nether base :( I'll never see you finished.
