The MafiaScum Minecraft Thread - Summer 2024 NEW SERVER!

[RayFrost]

So I was digging to find the source of some zombie sounds, and I broke through. What do I see through my one square hole? lava and water. The lava is a downward flow just one to the right of where I dug.... *sweatdrop*

edit: Oddly enough, there is already cobblestone around the lava flow... almost as if I'd already been there, but I know for a fact I haven't been this far underground and found lava before. Will keep you all posted on my progress. Turns out this was due to contact with the water I'd been hearing (I didn't see their contact until I dug my way to the roof of the cavern and looked through some spot holes).

I've dug more into it and it's a water filled cavern with a lava source block. Also found some redstone, iron, and gold in the area, which is always a nice bonus. 5 iron, 10 gold, and ~51 redstone in that one cavern + a bucket o' hot sauce.

that means theres a dungeon

Read my newest edit. ;P

[RayFrost]

my post was made before the edit you have no excuse

You ninja'd my edit. Really kinda sad that I haven't found ANY dungeons despite finding a metric fuckton of natural caverns.

[RayFrost]

I was thinking single player. I don't have a house in multiplayer and have zero use for string (I intend to be the finder of good things that dies often...)

[RayFrost]

string is used to make bows, bows are used to kill creepers and spiders

I am aware. I'd rather simply take half a heart of damage from a creeper with the bonus of lag almost certainly ensuring that the creeper damages nothing in the environment and punch a spider to death with my bare hands.

[RayFrost]

And have a roof to avoid spiders.

[RayFrost]

Um, maybe I misread, but cobblestone by lava =/= dungeon. Lava and water together can create obsidian OR cobblestone depending on flow.

Read the posts. I already pointed that out.

[RayFrost]

You should chuck food into it from the holes up top. What do creepers eat, anyway? Souls? Obsidian?

[RayFrost]

Or be like me and go naked at night and make holes in the ground with two space walls all around when carrying valuables. If you have torches, you can just keep on going by digging.

[RayFrost]

Or be like MME and simply not go out at night.

[RayFrost]

Alternatively, you can truly be like me and travel at night over the ocean to avoid the actual mobs / not care about dying and simply travel whenever you want (if you don't have ocean nearby, feel free to keep on dying).

[RayFrost]

Stairs leading to a dead end? Actual stairs or blocks cut in 4 x 2 pattern?

[RayFrost]

If it's actual stairs, probably brandi.

[RayFrost]

I might begin to mark the x/z coordinates of locations of interest that I find in my nomadic adventures in minecraft.

[RayFrost]

Wait, that's spawn...

I JUST PUT OUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF FIRES AT SPAWN, WHO KEEPS STARTING NEW ONES

Your lava pool.

I don't really know

[RayFrost]

Not only that, he's

red

.

/homage

[RayFrost]

I've found pumpkins...

[RayFrost]

Google says yes.

[RayFrost]

I knew it was izzy from its first post.

[RayFrost]

I knew

its

first post.

[RayFrost]

Worked fine for me.

[RayFrost]

So I've kept track of the places of interest that I've found:

64 z, -452 x, natural cave with an interesting opening shape that has red flowers in the vicinity.

-20 z, -639 x, water flow that comes from an internal spring, have not journeyed into the hill to find the source cave

13 z, 642 x, natural low lying cave system with water

-16 z, -842 x, natural low lying cave system with water

There is also quite a bit of surface coal / mountain range in that area. Seems like a nice place to set up home, save the fact it's far from the spawn, which will soon be a non-issue.

[RayFrost]

So, hey guys can I come play with you all, and are there any DO's and DONT's to be aware of aside from griefing?

DON'T steal.

DO punch trees.

DO donate to worthy causes.

DO feel free to trade with people / buy from socio's shop / etc.

DON'T follow me when I go off on my adventures.

tl;dr: not really

[RayFrost]

Oh, one I thought of.

Aside from griefing, DO NOT make giant screwed up structures that make huge shadows and allow Mobs to spawn at any time of day.

[RayFrost]

Also, no giant upside down pyramids.

I was thinking of this example when I said the above.

[RayFrost]

I must've misunderstood who the commentary was for when people mentioned that the shadow from a grotesque, giant pyramid thing was allowing mob-spawns.

[RayFrost]

DTM, it gets worse than creepers with the sounds. Suddenly hearing a cave sound interrupt your digging or hearing zombie growls RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR EAR without warning = much worse initially.

[RayFrost]

So I logged inside chevre's house and saw it got creeper'd, so I filled the hole with cobblestone. Then I logged out, since the door kept opening itself....

[RayFrost]

Moral of the story could also be:

CARRY A BUCKET OF WATER WHEN MINING/EXPLORING NEAR LAVA

[RayFrost]

It seems somebody is griefing: KoC lost iron, socio's shops are being ruined, and now bv's had iron stolen.

[RayFrost]

Well, since MS is an open forum, I'm guessing that people could enter the MC server without knowing any of us.

[RayFrost]

I'm planning on logging in at some point and deciding whether i want to make myself a permanent settlement that I'll eventually forget exists or just keep wandering without anything on me

or

make chests as I travel to hold valuables that people can find and take from (would make dying so much less painful) as they wish. Leaning towards the third option when I log in again but not in the mood right now.

[RayFrost]

Anyone's welcome provided they follow The Rules^TM

[RayFrost]

Good thing I got disconnected in a very safe spot.

Koc, if you tell me where, I can put some blocks under where you'll be

[RayFrost]

What purpose would the donator usergroup serve? Making people feel warm and fuzzy and giving them powers that may influence the server state? Other than that, no real concerns.

Also: am I the only one that finds it far more interesting to watch

other people

play the game than it is to actually play? I find that I can watch a full three hours of pbat / x / seananners / etc doing let's plays of minecraft, but I can barely sit down long enough to farm my trees for actual playing.

[RayFrost]

Decided to boot minecraft back up. Will report my findings when I have some interesting ones to report. Until then, *lurking*

So far, a couple things of note:

-436 x, 544 z, semi-large(?) clay deposit min. of 16 blocks.

-136 x, 609 z, empty little hole in the ground filled with torches and a water flow at the entrance. No other signs of previous occupants. Possibly eaten by the aggressive wildlife.

Also: I have a creeper that keeps looking like it's about to explode and that I can hit, which decreases the durability of my sword, but doesn't get hurt and doesn't die. I'm not really sure if I should risk it exploding in my face or not by going past it (it's kinda blocking the way out).

Now, I have blocked the creeper in and it can't move at all. I can leave freely into daylight. Clever me. I left a pair of chests filled with all the stuff I've found up to this point (and managed to stay alive to keep) inside the aforementioned hole in the ground. There's two passages, if you take the tiny one to the left of the hard water flow, you can get to them rather easily. Feel free to take this stuff along with the workbench if you really want any of it: inc sacs, iron, wood, an arrow, flowers, wool, dirt, etc.

-87 x, 819 z, lava pool on the surface that appears man-made (but the unbroken stone surrounding it says otherwise) with a floating island with torches nearby along with random lines of dirt. Main island appears well explored but quickly abandoned by previous occupants.

76 x, 1043 z, above-water clay. At least moderately sized deposit. No time to count, as per creeper presence in the area.

Now endeavoring to return back to MME's pad (or at least somewhere safe). I have created four mushroom stews for the purpose of keeping myself alive thanks to the sudden increase in brown mushroom populations overland. Managed to find a steve co. chest that said I needed to go to the minecraft store to open it via the purchase of a key. Naturally, tried to break it instead and failed before moving on. Accidentally quit minecraft after making a little hidey-hole from the night, and I think I'll stop here for now.

[RayFrost]

Although I appreciate spawning in a fucking wall...

I'd appreciate not spawning in a fucking wall.

[RayFrost]

... I logged in before then. I was traveling with esurio. I then died. I logged out at that point.

That said, I don't see why I should have to kill myself just to return to playing.

[RayFrost]

/kill command didn't work. Wonderful joy.

[RayFrost]

What is this "hunt" business on about?

Find where drench lives, get him to stfu about people not finding it.

[RayFrost]

An so... I'm missing from the WL.

RayLFrost or RayFrost - memory slips as to which.

[RayFrost]

Probably the best minecraft image I've seen.

[RayFrost]

Oh, come on, I didn't rape the Terraria, I went poppy on it.

just dug deeper, explored further, killed more. If I'd wanted to rape it, there wouldn't have been any resources left.

Agreed.

Anyway, my minecraft account be RayLFrost, not quite sure if I ever got whitelisted on the new server.

[RayFrost]

in 1x2x2 holes in pitch blackness waiting for sunrise. I died by a skellie first time I tried that because I had to keep removing a block in pitch blackness to check if it was light yet, and one time the skellie started shooting in a hole and then a creeper blew up the wall so my survival bunker was gone...

Pro-tip: with these holes, get some sand/dirt and place it two blocks high around your dig point, then dig two blocks in (makes sure that it is not possible for the non-wide mobs to jump up by putting it two blocks higher than the surrounding area, and spiders aren't really a problem when you're in a 1 block wide hole). You can then watch for sunrise.

[RayFrost]

I can't log into minecraft.net from the launcher, I've had to play on the server through a web browser. Which is super annoying.

Same.

[RayFrost]

Whitelist RayLFrost
Get RayFrost

Just noticed jmj's SHIFTING in his avatar.

[RayFrost]

So it says I'm not whitelisted on the server. Did you make sure to whitelist RayLFrost and not just rayfrost?

[RayFrost]

I can't get to the server, but right now it's displaying "stream end" errors and the like and restarting minecraft doesn't seem to do anything.

Also: I just did a seed named after myself, and I spawned on a rather drab island... then I found a short cave. A cave that drops down into a pit with water. A pit with lava and resources up the ass. A pit that, a short distance away, has a gigantic slice in the cave system filled with lava (in the walls of this ravine? lapis, redstone, gold, and possibly diamond that I didn't see). I decided that I'd farm all the small time resources (wood / cobble / saplings / food) I needed topside and then dive down there, make a home out of the gigantic cave system. I also punched an enderman to death.

[RayFrost]

So managed to finally log in.

Found six diamond (and accidentally threw three into lava) with chamber (he took the other three), ended up at the bottom of chronopie's laddershaft in his house with a zombie that followed me nearly killing me before I ran away for my life and left the server. Chrono, not sure if that "zombies spawn and then chill at the base of the ladder" thing is intentional.

[RayFrost]

For maruchan

[RayFrost]

Oh, chamber lit those caves.

I actually walked the ENTIRE LENGTH of that railroad to the tundra the other day as my way to get back to the village (not knowing that's where it went). So. Long. Must. Keep. Walking. *starvation* Well... at least it's a new sound....

[RayFrost]

Yes and yes.

At least it was named "LONG ASS TUNNEL TO THE TUNDRA" and was incomplete.

Edit: well shit. I tried to walk into DH's house but accidentally hit his painting instead of the button. Sorry. Also: the painting item thing won't let me pick it up so yeah. REALLY REALLY SORRY.
