Sneaky Map Change

The new blogger layout is.. very different. 'Tis one of the reasons nothing has been going on here.. that and Cobalt wooo.. and college.

Anyway, I started a new map on the server uhh day before yesterday. It's "half-temporary", because I'll start a new one a short while after Minecraft 1.2 is released (In a few weeks I assume). Just because it's temporary, doesn't mean you shouldn't be nice still.. no stealing, messing up scenery etc etc etc.

EDIT: As the latest Minecraft snapshot is so buggy, I am doubtful that Minecraft 1.2 will be out any time soon. It's a very substantial update, so I suspect it will also take a while before optifine and bukkit are updated for it. Because of those things, the server will not be updated to Minecraft 1.2 as soon as it is released and current map is actually quite permanent.

Me Tatty and Anina made a house and it's awesome:

Iced apple.. Sorry about your house, Tatty burned it down because she wants to do some "filming" around our house, showing off the scenery. I see you've re-built it, you should have asked before making it so close to our in the first place (you might have asked Anina though *shrug*), but everythings fine. Try to make it super-good looking and I'll try to steal Tatty's flint & steel lol.

Showcase - My little Minecraft 1.0 House

Most people on my server probably recognise this house, as it's er.. my house. It's a bit too small for my liking, but now it has a huge maze of basements and secret rooms it's sufficient.

There are obvious similarities between this and my old snow house, but this one was so much easier to build. Click on the images for bigger versions.

New map up and running.

The new map is up and running. Those that can't connect please email me (burntcustard@gmail.com) or leave a comment. Big thanks to Iced_apple for helping me with the road :)

Alright, for some reason the spawn point is in the sea. Follow the lampposts to the road, but PLEASE try not to get it blown up. If you can't find the lights, go to x:-64 z:247.

Here's a couple of extra rules and info to do with the big long stone thing:

• Don't build lampposts/burning netherrack things/torch shrines all along the road. Sure, have a couple next to your house, but the road doesn't need them.
• Don't build underneath the road. I'll eventually organise (hopefully with some help) some sort of transport tunnel right under it, which will also light up the road a bit through the glass holes.
• Don't extend the road without permission (I'll probably give it to you, but you have to ask.)
• You CAN make your own path leading from the road to your house, wherever it may be. Just don't make your personal road as big as the main one.
• Try to fix anything you get exploded!

Useful information about how awesome I am, and how awesome you are not (yet):
I know you think your good at Minecraft, but the server is running on hard mode. Do you know what that means? It means if you see a creeper, run for you life. It also means you'll starve TO DEATH if you get too hungry. Here are some tips for not dying every two seconds:

• Wear amour. Without this, creepers WILL kill you in ONE hit.
• Don't go out at night unless your ready for a fight.
• Carry a spare sword in case yours breaks. If you don't want to do this, carry an axe instead, they are pretty good at killing stuff too.
• Hold right mouse button to BLOCK with the sword if you see an arrow coming towards you.
• Don't jump off high places, even if it doesn't kill you, the zombie behind the closest tree will.
• Make a FISHING ROD and a BOW.
• Carry a bucket of water when you're near lava.
• Eat LOADS of food.
• Try to breed animals.
• Buy potions, enchanted swords/armour, and arrows when people have them for sale.
• Work as a team. PvP is off, it's us against the monsters.

Hopefully these tips will keep you alive for a bit longer. Good luck!
