I created a spawn nether portal so we can use it to create paths to the end portal, guardian farm etc. when you /spawn just go down the hill and follow it left you will see it.

I also am eyeing up a little monorail track to go between all our bases I think that would be cool if people don’t mind the intrusion

oh @Zarlak best check with @I_live_cement first too if you want that mountain as not sure how far from the river his plans go

 

[Zarlak]

Of course there's a raiding party on top of this mountain just as I get there.

I'll just go off into the distance and make my own thing and then just make nether portals back to the town. I don't want to encroach on anyones mines or anything.

mines are fcuking huge these days there’s no chance of that happening. Stay close!

Do you not remember how I tunnel down and then strip mine for about 7 miles in either direction? That's what no mods has me doing. At least in Tekkit I can build a miner and have it auto mine for me!

 

[Zarlak]

Since when was copper a thing

I'm all up for it. Above or below the ground?

 

[Member 55443]

The way I imagine it is above ground but all on the same Y level, so it might find itself underground in your mountain and possibly in my hill, but in the air at spawn and @I_live_cement's house

Since when was copper a thing

I think every single one of us has asked @harms that question at this point so I wont break tradition

 

[harms]

I think they’ve added it in the 1.17 (caves & cliffs part 1). It’s mostly decorative but it’s a great block.

 

[Zarlak]

Fair enough. I was on for a few hours last night found a bit of iron and some diamonds, made a little sugar farm on top of the mountain that I suspect is going to be useless but wanted to start getting a few emeralds. Need to scope out where I actually want to build before I start building proper farms. Need to get a concrete farm going as well as wheat.

Zarlaks back!

 

[Zarlak]

I get nervous seeing that @Walrus creation on the dynamap is orange. Is he making his giant lava tower again that lags the server?

 

[Member 55443]

So with @harms and @I_live_cement blessing I'm going to make a loop monorail as roughly shown below. Stops will be spawn (passing through the mountain), GC, my place, harms mountain, and itll cross the river on the west for anyone who may build there in the future ( @Zarlak maybe!). Can always be expanded or spurred off of in the future. I'm going to see what Y level I think would work best and create a small template at all locations to see what everyone thinks. The design of the structure can be refined later, just want to sort the Y level first.

Sounds good. I'm building here so you may as well just stretch it a little so it stops by my place.

 

[Zarlak]

What is the current best way to generate emeralds? I didn't see the typical book trades we used to have where you could buy bookcases then destroy them for books to generate more emeralds. I think the cheapest one I've seen in the big base so far is the one that trades an oak plank boat because that's just 5 planks but maybe there's one I overlooked.

 

[Member 55443]

Updated map, GC is happy with y85 at his place, I'm going to build a couple of templates at @Zarlak and @harms places, hopefully we will see each other on the game to see what you think and finetune the position. Orange is just where I can bend the rail to come closer to the spawn area.

I'm good with that position for my base. As long as it's behind my wheat farm because I'll be using all the space in front of it towards the ocean for my house. Most of my shit will be underground like my farms once the house is up so the purple line is great for me.

I've built a little mock up at your place let me know when you're on next

 

[Solius]

Can I join from PS5?

 

[Zarlak]

I'm sure it's good, feel free to just go with it. I'll change it up at a later date if I don't like it but I'm sure it's grand.

 

[Zarlak]

Who do I speak to about buying a couple villagers from them at a later date? I don't know what belongs to who in the main area and who owns that little marketplace.

 

[Member 55443]

Not sure mate, instinct says no. Get it on PC you will love it and more than welcome to join us

I believe that there is a glass trick that gets you infinite emeralds — a skilled librarian has a chance of having a glass trade that you can then break into glass panes & sell to cartographer for profit.

Not sure if we're doing a whole economy thing or not (can be fun), but I (the cave with a copper lever door) have a bunch of spare villagers always ready to travel.

I'll log on tomorrow afternoon +- and take a look.

Is that whole mountain base yours? With the lever door? I figured that was a hub for everyone since it was so big. I've been trading boats for emeralds with your villagers when I saw one had Mending. I also built a ladder down by your farms to -57 because I thought it was a communal space, sorry. I've got my own now I settled on a spot so I'll cover it up.

The lava cube was an architectural marvel. You would be lucky to gaze upon its likeness again!

 

[Zarlak]

We should also get a threadmark with a list of everyones names in game vs Caf names.

It was an architectural marvel in that it melted the real life server architecture.

 

[Member 55443]

I've made a tunnel in the nether from the spawn portal to the end portal. Can someone else make it proper with a rail etc when they can

 

[Zarlak]

Man I miss that mod where you just axe the bottom block of the tree and the whole thing gets destroyed and replanted.

Yeah. Feel free to use them (I've turned the iron farm off as I simply didn't have enough space for all of that iron, but you can always climb up the scaffolding & turn the lever on). There's also a bubble elevator in the corridor straight across the lever door (with all of the villagers) — if goes down to the tunnel to the spider spawner farm but there's also a stop at the farm level.

I'll show you around if we'll both be online at the same time, some of it is a bit counterintuitive.

Sweet. I had a look around and got to grips with the layout. I'm good now over at my base I just pop back to yours for the marketplace at least until I end up with 2 villagers and can start my own. I go to the XP farm from /spawn as it's less running.

 

[Member 55443]

So purple line is more or less what it will be having spoke to @Zarlak and @I_live_cement. Red lines are just some options and will be decided when I talk to @harms. I'm gonna put some chests on my peninsula for andesite donations

 

[I_live_cement]

Nice one. I'll try and mine some andesite when I'm next on. Probs tomorrow night.

 

[Zarlak]

We got a blaze farm anywhere?

 

[harms]

Nope. You can go to a fortress from my nether portal, there’s a direct tunnel towards the north (although there may be a closer one).

Nice I'll try to find it. I ended up finding one that took me about 20 mins to get to by scrutinising the map, but it's too far away to use repeatedly.

I started my marketplace off, I've got 1 that will trade 2 emeralds for a book case and then trade 1 book for 1 emerald so I can generate infinite gems that way albeit slowly since the bookcase yields 3 books so it's only 1 emerald profit each time. I also have Efficiency V and Fortune III with discounts. Tomorrow I'll get Mending and Unbreaking III and then I can finally start mining all the shit for my build.

 

[Member 55443]

Got the outline of the monorail sorted. If anyone is bored and wants to help build it, the majority of it has been laid out in various stages and is quite simple to carry on the finished template that's in parts of it (through my house and from spawn to GC), only andesite blocks and slabs are required. The section around spawn and @I_live_cement has been tunneled out but @harms mountain still needs tunneling. Even just andesite donations would help a ton

How do you get andesite?

 

[Zarlak]

You just find it in clusters underground. These days though a cluster can be several hundred blocks, when the likes of granite, diorite etc were introduced it seemed like only about 15 blocks, so once you bump into some you can mine a lot of it.

Sweet, I'll keep an eye out. Once I finish up getting the last 2 enchantments I'm gonna sort my pickaxe out and go mining a shit tonne.

It shouldn't be too hard by the way. I'll help out and there's also a haste 2 beacon that should cover most of my mountain.
