    mhiggy09's cobble is at 110, 585. The rail that brings you there starts underground at spawn (172, 178). I put a sign there indicating what direction to go.

    Cheers Pompous, it'll make building the rail tunnel back to spawn ALOT easier!

    Just a thought, but when 1.9 comes out would anybody be interest in a race to gather every item in the game in chests?

    Handy list here - http://www.minecraftinfo.com/items.htm

    Apart from not using any gear that you've previously acquired, does anyone have any thoughts on the rules of such a challenge? No prizes, just a bit of fun. We could even do it UHC style, and settle ourselves on some far-away island for the quest.

    Cobaas, the rail line to your place is completed :D You can change or alter it however you want. I might continue further north with it, not sure yet.

    If you try the Chroma Hills resource pack, be aware that it include new "realistic" animal faces that are freaking me out. Imagine waking up in the morning to find this standing next to you. :eek:

    Oh Cheers! Is that in the nether or the main world?

    I'll check it out when I get a chance!

    It's in the normal world! The train platform is just on the other side of the ice river south of your base. Couldn't be bothered making one last bridge over it :o

    Haha nice one!

    Ive been running through the nether to get back to spawn lately, kinda dangerous!

    I'll probably connect the hub at my base back to spawn too in the next week or so, have you got any powered rails that i could use by any chance?

    Looks like version 1.9 is actually nearing completion :eek:

    Pre-release version out now, full 1.9 version available in 8 days.

    http://mojang.com/2016/02/minecraft-19-pre-release-1/

    Unbelievably long time coming, this patch. 541 days since 1.8 was released. Pomp, will you be able to change the version on the current server?

    I don't know dude, but I'll certainly try my best!

    1.8 introduced all them new ores like quartzite and granite etc, which made it kind of awkward to just switch versions on an existing server (you would have to travel to unexplored locations to generate new chunks to get the new ores). Is there anything like that in 1.9?

    AFAIK no new overworld blocks/ores/structures that generate naturally other than the occasional grass path or beetroot patch in villages. The End is a very different matter... you'll likely need to delete an existing End and let players generate a new one by hopping through the portal... beware of dragons... ;)

    There's no major changes in the overworld, only new thing I can think of is the igloos (not important). The big change is in The End, with new stuff that generates thousands of blocks away from where the player originally starts there. They add a portal thing that teleports you there. I think that's all been designed to be compatible with 1.8 world saves. The only thing that can really happen is that it gets rid of my ender farm, which I don't really mind.

    The release was pushed back to next week, after that it's basically whenever Pompous has the time to do it for us :)

    I made them back when I had admin powers on the server, which I no longer have, so i won't be able to do it for you.

    I revived my single player world to do the end city thing in 1.9. Pretty intense experience.

    You need to craft 4 ender crystals to revive the dragon, which requires 4 ghast tears. That was pretty cool.

    The dragon fight itself is now bloody painful. Theres cages surrounding the healing crystals now, which is a bit crap I think. Also the new abilities the dragon has are dreadful. It can sit on the floor, invulnerable to range attacks, and spray acid everywhere. Really slow job.

    Then got to the end city. The new shulker mob is really cool, very cool to fight. Found some elytra wings. Got murdered by an ender man on my way home, still not used to the new sword mechanics. FFS.

    Mixed bag overall. It was cool to have an hour in Minecraft where I was glued to the action, couldn't even pause it for a second. That said, new dragon fight is crap. Looking forward to exploring the rest of the update and using the new blocks and stuff. End rods and chaurus plants look deadly.

    Yes! Elytra is so sick. And also, we'll need a team effort to beat the dragon this time for reals.

    Server upgrade in progress? It appears to be offline at the moment.
