I meant like if I'm in a cave and he's being a douche and blocking my way to an important resource. Of course, you're right. I ought to bring a bucket of water with me next time. Maybe I should make a well near the entrance of the cave.

If you've got a decent weapon (e.g. iron or diamond sword), Endermen aren't so tough. Just aim for the bottom part of 'em so they don't teleport away.

So there was a bit of interesting "griefing" going on over the past day or two.  I was hearing a strange semi-repetitive thumping noise near my house that I at first thought was either an audio glitch or my speakers going on the fritz.  Turns out that someone had created a simple yet elegant redstone clock attached to a note block and buried it in a little tunneled-out area right next to the entrance of my mine.  They even went so far as to hide their entrance with smoothstone; the cobblestone they used to plug up the entryway inside was the only clue to how they'd come in.  Apparently a few other people had similar devices near their home bases; Grimper helped me find mine with the aid of some chunk error kung-fu.  Whoever did this was a pretty slick operator.

i immediately got reminded of this

I love that thing.

My cousins have been repeating that for so many times now I can even listen to it...

Anyway, what other places has this 'griefing' occurred. My places never seem to get griefed, 'cept for once by lightning.

Anyway, what other places has this 'griefing' occurred.

Actually, on my way back from JC's house (I was helping him find and eliminate another "ticker"), I heard another one somewhere around the castle with the burning netherrack wayposts, above and to the right of JC's place on the dynmap. I didn't have any chunk errors to help me find it though.

Thanks for pointing out, I should look into that today. It's definitely creative and I suppose any activity is better than none (that's why we're on a multiplayer server ) the whole chase for the, "ticker" cost me a lot of time.

So far having what i'm starting to call a 'Keep' (first thing i built) and a 'Fort' (the castle-like structure on the mountain further away), both will be worked on, and are connected by a tunnel system. I hope to have someone good with interior design to assist me with the Keep's interiors to make it look a lot more homely, and i'm thinking of ways to build very compact blacksmiths (where the craft box will be placed), a storehouse (probably) and other similar structures to make it all look more authentic. Plenty to do, that's for sure

[Dark RevenantX]

Huh, so the mystery continues.  Whoever's there sure picked a cool spot to set up, though.

I was the first guy to find it and set up shop there, but apparently someone else got there too.

Also: There is a food dispenser at the spawn road now. There've been a real load of "omg I'm starvingz!" comments from newcomers. This is a remedy for that.

[FlamingCobra]

Pred, in your honest opinion, how many square feet/blocks should a castle cover in area?

[StarSlayer]

I generally find a suitable mountain/hill formation, start at the top and convert it into a fortress as I descend.  I find it works well since the mountain provides a descent amount of building material as I go and is protected from mobs.  As for size, it really depends on what you want to build, a simple block house, a motte and bailey or some giant fortress monastery or citadel.  I'd take a look at actual castles to get an idea for what you want to build.

That's definitely something that happened to me. While I was still running around, looking at all the cool stuff, there were two things I missed the most: food, and a minecart.
I ran across a few farms fortunately, and harvested (and replanted, of course) what wheat I could, but there were a few hungry moments out there. As to the minecart, I think I just ran everywhere until I found a nice place to build a mine.

This is what I've got so far.


What do you guys think?

Of course, the corners will have to be converted to towers of some kind. But I haven't gotten to that stage yet.

Meh. You think too small.




continuation of this basically.

no creative mode used(except for getting up on the tower to take the screenshot, too lazy to walk the stairs.). and i've still got three chests full of bricks.


And i need to figure out how to finish the towers actually.
