"I think i'm near a skeldungeon" - me, around 1 minute before stumbling upon a zombie dungeon (-167, 27, 453)
i also found another zombie dungeon nearer to the village IN THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN that andy wrote down the coords to but i didn't.

[Rhinox]

I wanna find a dungeon

Hey guys, I have made a very basic webpage for our server:

http://claus.castelodelego.org/minecraft

Right now, the only really interesting thing is the server map, but I hope to add some statistics as well in the future.

Cheers!

[Chronopie]

Judging by the map, My home is outside the wall. o.o

[UltimaAvalon]

man you guys are doing a lot more for the server than I ever did.

Good job guys

[Mute]

Man, have I missed a lot. Magic, Endermen, AN END TO A SANDBOX GAME(?!), etc etc.

DH dat wall behind my house across the water...

I'm sorry that just won't work. I'll move it and figure something out, tie it into the sides of my house or something. But I'm not giving up my beautiful view and water access. Or I know, I'll build a boardwalk along the water with a fence to keep the mobs out. Yeah, thats what I'll do. But yeah I'm sorry, I just can't have that cobble wall there.

[Chevre]

That map is very nice.

[Rhinox]

Just checked out the server map. I like

So I spent this evening working on replacing the wall across the water behind my house with a boardwalk. I got about a 3rd of the way done. I intend to extend it all the way up to the knoll next to tbone's house.

When I was about to call it a night, I found a creeper IN MY HOUSE!! Not just in my house, but upstairs where I specifically put my "valuables" chest to be away from any possible creeper damage as my only other chest thus far is ground level next to a wall. Imagine my surprise when I turned the corner in my staircase and came face to face with the terror. I heard the sssssssss initially, but thank got for lag it didn't asplode upstairs. Tried to get it to follow me out the house, but... boom headshot to me and the lower level of my addition. The damage wasn't that bad and I fixed it before calling it a night. Moral of the story, no matter how safe the town is supposed to be due to the walls, DON'T LEAVE YOUR DOORS OPEN!!! Not fun...

[T-Bone]

Get me 60 stacks of cobble and I'll begin work into making this The Great Wall.

I also intend to tear down that hill outside my house, so feel free to do that Rhinox.

My place, box room, center column. middle and lower box. go crazy.

Alright I'll do it tonight unless you beat me to it.

Checking on the town earlier today, I noticed that there are still a few spots inside the wall that are not properly lighted. Since torches have light level 14, and the maximum level for monster spawning is 8, this means that any square more than 5 blocks of distance of any torch is actually not safe. So lets spam a few more torches around the village, and the monster appearances should be reduced.

Also, make sure to light your roofs (although I think most roofs are lighted up by now.

I have begun construction of The Great Wall just outside DH's house.

I want to design some sort of gate system so we can get in and out with ease. any ideas?

Redstone lever controlled sticky pistons moving cobble "doors"?

[T-Bone]

That'd be cool. I don't begin to know how to make that.

You guys should look at the example I did behind DH's house (near the door) I don't want to continue and then have a bunch of people say they don't like it. It can easily be redesigned right now, but the more I do, the harder that endeavor will be.

[Rhinox]

That'd be cool. I don't begin to know how to make that.

Maybe I'll do a demo at the gate nearest to my house. Basically just requires and XOR logic gate to be constructed out of redstone (for a level on either side of the wall), and some sticky pistons. I'd appreciate someone supplying me some redstone (1 stack tops) and enough slime for say 4 sticky pistons (4 slime balls I think). There are schematics for the redstone XOR logic gate around the web, only tricky part is working out how to connect it to the pistons and levers, which will require some experimentation.

I'll also check out what you built already.

I can do a large trapdoor system, but I don't know how to do vertical-standing doors. I can do a drawbridge type-deal with redstone and a switch.

@Claus: If you want some redstone, go to my mountainside home, go

down

the ladder to the second level, and take a stack from the chest. The only thing I've really found any use for redstone in is Pots.

[T-Bone]

I'll happily build the wall and you guys can modify it with redstone as you see fit.

Does anyone have a problem with my current design? It's very intricate.

[IUsuallyThink]

Just to add to the redstone voices, UT and I have an inordinate amount of redstone we're not using at the moment. It's in the basement of our house in the swamp just outside town. Take a stack!

[Matias]

I have like 16 stacks of redstone in my top left box. Take whatever.

[Rhinox]

So there is now a prototype totally awesome lever activated piston gate in the wall behind DH/Implosion/Claus area. Tbone built the great wall, I spent a good chunk configuring the redstone control room basically right under the gate, and then chrono came along and took my functional but lame looking cobblestone gate and made it completely badass by exchanging the cobble sliders for glowstone and accenting with nether fence. You guys HAVE to check it out next time you're online.

There is a redstone torch on both sides of the wall on the ground - these are my markers to indicate how to get back into the control room if I ever need to. If you're curious and need to go down and check out the redstone, please be careful. Its not very clean, and possible you could get stuck in there and need to break blocks to get out, which would break the gate if you don't know how to put it back together.

[Matias]

oh my god that gate is so fantastic looking
