It is sort of strange how that works out.  I've managed to get fairly adept at working my way up and over mountains, since I plopped myself down right in the middle of them, but it would be nice to have things a bit less steep, and it'd definitely be nice to have more height variation in other biomes.  On the plus side, though, the current code makes for some fantastic-looking cliff formations.

Speaking of, Revenant, you're the one with the cool greenhouse and obsidian hut at the end of your subway, right?  I didn't even notice it until I happened to be scrolling around the dynmap last night.  It's only about a day's walk from where I'm set up, so Grimper and I wandered around a bit.  The landscape around there is nothing short of spectacular.

It's funny, but I'm not even sure what the heck I'm doing at the moment myself.  I've built a series of wooden platforms on cliff faces overlooking a valley, and I have this vague idea of a treehouse-esque complex, but I'm not even sure if it'll make structural sense.  On top of that, I might be pushing the maximum height if I decide to make the thing too tall.

Big enough change to share here, as Fenris has gotten some real upgrades!

I'd almost forgotten about this spectacular series of outcroppings and cliffs a mountain or two over from where I'm working.  It's probably a better spot for the idea I'm fooling around with, but it honestly looks so cool that I almost think it'd be a shame to mess up.  In any case, what I'm doing now is probably one of the first times in my life I've attempted something creative by plopping stuff down and seeing what happens.  I don't know if it'll come out anywhere remotely near decent, but if it does, I'll drag someone up to take a look.

I know the miuntains youre talking about, seeing a sunset from the highest one is awesome.

[deathfun]

I have no idea what miuntains you're talking about

I have discovered that there are two sure signs players can use to figure out if they've crossed into a region I am active in.  Firstly, there will be planes and helicopters and starships everywhere.  Secondly, there will be tnt, everywhere.  Unfortunately, the TNT bit is rather unfortunate as last night someone's house exploded after I decided to line the top floor with boom and they thought punching it with flint and tinder was a good idea.

Awesome, Esarai, I love each of your ships so I should definitely explore around and see if i can spot your ships hovering above. This is also in Qaz's server, right?

Furthermore, I hereby would like to ask Qaz to look into raising the 128 height limit to 256 or 512, my first tower is reaching the limit and it is far from high enough for my taste.

I thought 127 is a hard coded limit for placing blocks

I thought so too at first, then this particular picture piqued my interest:

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/File:Hunger.png

especially the summary text below, "Picture that notch posted in his Twitter. A Hunger bar and experience bar. Also showing new height limit of 512." Asked yesterday to I believe Kyad and was answered that it has become a variable setting, thus able to be changed apparently. Could be me misunderstanding though, this the question if Qaz can look into it.

[headdie]

interesting but it could also be a 1.9pre shot, i have notch on my twitter so just trying to find it atm

edit, i fail the info below says its july oops

[JCDNWarrior]

No problem I just hope Qaz will be able to/want to upgrade the height limit, I'm sure I'm not the only one that could do a lot more with that. Perhaps I picked a bad spot in a higher area that make the 127 limit feel so low though, but as said, it requires terrain editing to fix or I won't be done in a week of block smashing.

There's also this video, not sure what version it is, 1.7.3 maybe using yMOD.

Another note, Rei's Minimap was updated readding cavemapping and entity radar, the radar is a server-side feature so only hosts can allow it by modifying the MoTD to enable it.

Found a way to farm cave-spiders that can be done AFK today

That's actually not my stuff.  I really don't know who made that stuff; all I made is that extremely long/boring subway.

The height limit thing that was changed was altering the game code so that everything that relied on the map height limit referenced one single variable instead of having 127 hard-coded everywhere. All it does is make it easier for mods to change the limit.

[Mongoose]

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

And, oddly enough, I don't think I've seen anyone do it yet.

Cubic Chunks for 1.8.1.

Cubic Chunks for 1.8.1.

Tried it, got it working, found some cool results, like... water that goes from Y = 63 to Y = -20. I have yet to find out how someone made this though, which is far more awesome:


Here is a copy of a 1.8.1 .jar with all the needed mods pre-installed, do NOT open your old worlds with this, they are a pain to change back.

EDIT: My bad, linked my tweaked version, updated with the 'normal' one.
