Oh goddammit

I decided to have a look at what kinds of seeds people have dug up on other forums and I found one that is exactly what I was looking for before settling on the one I'm using for my main world; it is 85% ocean but it has every single biome, including the largest island being mostly desert, so there are plenty of resources. Now I am really, really, REALLY tempted to switch to this seed, but I also don't want people to lose what they've built on the other one.

Well for starters share the seed. After that I'd suggest asking the people that play on your current map if they want to switch and get a fresh start.

I've not deleted any save I've made for multiplayer. Chuckroasts structures must be preserved so I can see what they look like in every texture pack.

That is an interesting map. I like that one island that looks like a virus from Dr. Mario. If only there was only one more continent in the south then I'd agree on this maps perfection.
Still... it's a nice looking map. Do you remember where you spawned in?

And I am asking the people who play on my current map since they all read this thread. I'm still torn, but the more I explore, the more I really like this map. The Nether is even interestingly laid out.

Zombie villagers means idgaf about villages, I can just make my own. If I do decide on this map I'll prolly make part of the top left island into a harbor town with some NPC housing. That bay on that island is perfect and exactly the kind of thing I am looking for.

An archipelago map would be a lot of fun, plus it makes my stupid farm idea actually worth something.

And remember chuckroast can always create the next Hagia Sophia, or Palace of the Soviets, or Todai-Ji out of sheer will of force so I wouldn't be terribly concerned with existing work. Plus its xbox, the saves files (hopefully) still exist so nothing is ever really gone forever.

The real question is the upcoming End project. Because that is a absolute bitch in terms of starting over again.

Yeah I won't be deleting the old world obviously, so we can go back to that project in the future should we decide to do so. Alternatively, we could start over; I didn't really do much in the End aside from the Enderman farm, so if I contributed it'd prolly go faster at least.

I spent a little time in the new seed over the weekend, it loving rules. Already built a boathouse to dock at which is also located right at spawn. Also I have AC in my room now so I'll prolly start leaving the server up when I'm not home or asleep.

And there is still room. I'm trying to encourage spreading out a bit. The rails so far I believe are temporary. Seeing the giant x-men while cruising owns. Confusing the giant enderman with a real one while trying to build a mob grinder owns harder.

I'm thinking of getting something started in one of the smalls bits of snow biome there are but they may be a bit far from the main city area for my liking, we'll see. I am curious as to how some of the things were built though, like the giant statues. Was this game ever in creative mode or was this all done purely in survival? I'm guessing the latter since I got an achievement while playing but i dunno how the game determines that with multiplayer.


e: by the way some creepers exploded on the very top level of the fort you afk in right before you went offline. Got most of the damage fixed up before it booted me but there's a couple blocks missing off the top of the skeleton transportation waterway thing.

This map has never been on creative so you can get all the achievements. I found the seed on the minecraft forums with a small list of points of interest, such as the skeleton grinder, which was the first thing I built.

The statues are just wool. Wickedbackfat (non-goon) built them based on the marvel skin packs, though I dunno where he got GL from.

No worries about the abbey. I just got home so the game is live again.

How exactly does the skeleton grinder work anyway? Monster spawner under there somewhere? I did find a button down the hidden staircase into the mines that /seems/ to be connected to where the skeletons start climbing up the water but i couldn't figure it out for the life of me

Pretty much. I chose this seed because it boasted a bunch of surface spawners and this particular skeleton spawn was at level 58 or something. It's all water driven and the hard part you can see working. They spawn over a current, funneling them into the elevator up to the top and over, and finally ending up as one hit kills on the killing floor.

If you take the rail on the stone bricks all the way north you'll see that Wickedbackfat and I found an underwater spider spawner that we dug out. Dunno how to handle that one yet.

Also the iron farm is currently out of order due to a pod of villagers disappearing. I'll fix it after I'm done making my moonbase.

I was wondering about that. When i first got in last night I climbed into the pool and realized it was just one massive trap and chuckroast explained it to me.
One last thing though: If the skeleton grinder is just an automatic process, what is the point of the button downstairs connected to a repeater and (what I think is, never used this texture pack before) a glowstone lamp?

That was to turn the spawner off. I never got around to finishing it but yea, it'd be a lot less stress on the system if I didn't keep this thing going all the time, so I want to eventually be able to light everything up and stop the skeletons from generating.

Yeah I've noticed that it can get pretty laggy when the skeletons are just piling up constantly there. How far away from that lamp is the spawner? I assume just under it so couldn't you just replace the button with a lever to get the light level high enough to stop spawning?

It's about 2 or 3 blocks adjacent to the lamp. The goal was to put a lamp every 2 blocks around. Enough lamps will shut off the spawner. I just got lazy/distracted with other projects.

I actually just finished putting in some more lamps surrounding the spawning pit and wiring them to levers, so we can turn off the spawner now. Seems to help stability a bit so far.

Cool. The only use the skeleton spawner is really for getting bows with power 1 to eventually make power 5 bows. The blaze spawn is actually a dual, and plans are in motion to utilize it to its best potential because right now it's rear end.

If you go to the nether you'll easily find the blaze farm. Go to the bottom level, turn right and walk past all of the repeaters and you'll find a staircase. If you follow it you'll find a portal that spits you out right next to the end portal. It isn't the most effective enderman farm but it works alright.

I hope someone does. I've been playing it for a couple of hours, the improved draw distance is great, but I think the map is wonky. If you go past the edge of what the map covers, your icon turns round and you don't really show up on the map or uncover new area. It appears the map shows the landmass size of the small maps from last gen.

edit: In my PS4 experience.

If they don't introduce dedicated servers in the next-gen versions of console Minecraft I'll be heck of mad. I'm switching to PC once my new computer is up and running, but I still prefer a lot of what the console versions do differently and would switch to PS4 primarily if they allowed us to rent out servers or something so we didn't have to have someone run their console 24/7 to have a server up.

So the way maps work in the PC version, you just make a new map when you go to a new area that hasn't been covered in a previous map. No idea if they messed it up in the console version though; maps already work differently on console so it's entirely possible that this wouldn't fix your problem.

Well I'm prolly done with console Minecraft now that I have a PC that can run it without any lag at all. But man, I'm gonna miss the texture packs and the dudes I played with. Hopefully some day I'll meet up with some of you in a PC Minecraft server.

Also I have to get used to the awful, awful PC crafting system now, which was the main reason I've preferred console all this time. If they do ever get dedicated servers for console I'll prolly come back on PS4.

Just a heads up to anyone still playing irregularly.

New update bricked redstone pretty bad. If you ever fire a double piston extender it will lock every pison closed on your whole world. Considering this is fairly serious to anyone still playing, witches aren't spawning correctly & horses are despawning when hitched, they're talking about pushing out a soonish(tm) bugpatch. I'd stay off old worlds you care about until it gets sorted.

But yeah, Hoppers are pretty rad. Auto smelters and auto collecters for farms/grinders rock. Just wish we got tubing.
