In other news, I have been working on a project.

Dull. Oppressive. Utilitarian. It is your apartment building.

This building contains twelve 9x9 single-room apartments, six to a floor, but the floorplan can obviously be expanded, and more levels can be added.

Apartment 24. Here, you are a number.

Each room contains at least three windows. Four of the rooms have five windows. I intend to put a piece of glowstone in the ceiling in each room to replace the torches, but we'll see what works. Want to change something? Better talk to your landlord first.

The floor is constructed of two layers, so you can put an infinite spring in if you want. Also, this makes things pretty fire-safe.

Poor building planning? Aww, too bad!

At the back, there is a laundry room. My texture pack makes my furnaces look like washing machines, so it fits the theme.

The room also contains a couple workbenches, an infinite water source, and adjoins two storage rooms.

There is also roof access that leads to a farm. This serves the double purpose of lighting up the roof, so mobs don't spawn there at night.

Hey, what's this room? It's so much more spacious than the apartments, and it doesn't look like anybody's using it. Can I live here? NO.

At night, the entire place is pretty decently lit.

The footprint of this one is 37x31. This is my concept for the apartment idea for multiplayer that I mentioned earlier. Theoretically, this could be MCedit'd into an MP map, and newcomers could use this sort of building to live quasi-communally until they collect a decent amount of resources and can go on to an individual project, like the 20x20 lot idea discussed a couple pages ago.

^ Thats ....ing awesome.

Psychobuddy · 01-22-2011, 06:58 PM

I have a feeling that it would make me snap and kill all you earlier than was expected...wait I never said I was going to be the serial killer...no...it's a lie...get away from me. I'll kill you all...

heavy7-665 · 01-22-2011, 06:59 PM

^ Can I get some locks on my door.............

Psychobuddy · 01-22-2011, 07:01 PM

We do have pick axes.

heavy7-665 · 01-22-2011, 07:03 PM

Psychobuddy · 01-22-2011, 07:04 PM

Iron doors don't meet fire safety code. Anyway, we already pay a premium for the soul-destroying factor.

(If you really want to put an iron door on, there's room for a simple hidden redstone circuit.)

This brings up a practical point: Infinity_Complex, are you going to nerf TNT?

Honestly I don't think we'll need to. Every person on the server is going to be a member here. The only non-SS.org person will be my roommate, and that's just to help with administration at the terminal. But, if it turns into an issue, I'll ban the asshat, revert to a previous save (to fix the damage), and nerf TNT completely (as in, you either can't craft it, or it won't destroy anything but itself).

Just don't be stupid

But I don't really see a problem in the future.

So any estimate until when it'll be up and running?

Taylor · 01-23-2011, 02:38 AM

Started a new map, found a HUGE tunnel system, had to keep tunneling, within 20 minutes found :

12 Diamond
6 Lapis Lazuli
10 Gold
85 Iron
102 Coal
A bunch of Obsidian

And died.
In lava.
Which means stuff is gone.

Me = Ragequit/delete.

I already blew past the first date I set, and the extension I gave myself, because of weather, and being stubborn on what I wanted to use, exactly.

And now, I ran into a money issue. My parents needed a pretty hefty loan (a REALLY hefty loan, actually), which put me in a bind. I'm stretched a little thin because of it.

It's not going to stop the project, just means I have to look a little harder to find a better deal on parts. It won't hurt the actual server, it's just going to delay it.

If I HAD to give an estimate, I would say another 2 weeks. But, honestly I could have it finished in 3 days, or it could take another month. I can't really say

EDIT:

I just want to thank everybody for their interest. That alone makes this entire project worth it. I love doing stuff for people, and it feels great to see people actually get enjoyment out of it.

And yes, I will accept donations

But not until AFTER it is up and running, and you all spend some time on it. It is costing me money to build (I won't use the computer for anything other than hosting the Minecraft server client, I've got a Macbook for everything else), and will be online 24/7, which isn't an issue, since we have internet regardless. Damned fast internet, actually.

Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely doing this as a favor to my SS.org brothers. And I will never ask for a dime from anybody for this. But of course, I'd be a fool not to open my PayPal to gifts if somebody wants to buy me a sandwich sometime

How did it happen? Dig straight down, get lava'd horizontally (

), or careless misstep? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you were gathering obsidian and there was lava underneath one block.

Is there anything that youse guys don't mine? I personally have no use for gold, and obsidian is too damn time-consuming to actually mine. I also don't care much for redstone; maybe a little, but after I get a stack, I'm usually satisfied.

I almost did that once, mining obsidian can be tricky, so its best to get a bucket of water and lava and make it above ground. You can even use dirt to make it into a mould of a gate, so no pickaxe required.

I don't mine redstone and coal if I have a good amount already. I mine gold though, can use em to make clocks and gold blocks for decoration.

leftyguitarjoe · 01-23-2011, 11:44 AM

Here are a few of my world. I play solely to build. I dont really care about the survival and harvesting aspect of it, so I cheat my balls off.

My screenshots look weird because of my dual screen setup.

My tower

My glass dome

My underwater area. To make one sucessfully, you have to make a cube of whatever block you want under water with an outer shell of glass. You then need to come from underneath and mine the interior blocks while keeping the glass shell intact.

And the result of too much TNT

vampiregenocide · 01-23-2011, 11:46 AM

Holy shit its like the Victoria Falls.

Careless misstep.
Thought there was a block and there sure wasn't.

I don't mine gold that much, since it's pretty well useless..
