    So as per the other thread, I started a realm. It's got 3 months of life, we can have a whitelist of 20 and 10 active at any one time. Given the numbers we've had on the regular Boards server, this should work out if we get consistent players.

    If you want in, post your player name here and I'll see how easy or difficult it is to juggle whitelists.

    Myself and Oni would be interested in this. Been looking for a 1.8 server to play on, if there is room on the whitelist for us :)

    Hey Shim :) Like Rashers and Oni I'd love to get onto a 1.8 server and get back into MC if there's room for me!

    No IP in Realms - load up a pure vanilla 1.8 game of Minecraft and then hit the Minecraft Realms option - you'll have an invite pending. That's how you access the map too :)

    I first tried it with the latest Optifine, but got kicked out a couple of times, so it looks like even benign mods are verboten on Realms. Performance is OK-ish without it, though.

    Yeah (sorry if keep banging on about performance :o), I actually get a better framerate on vanilla 1.8 on Realms than I do on single-player. Optifine Alpha 1.8 on single player beats them all though :D

    Would love to check it out. If you're tight on space then don't worry about it. Don't have time to contribute too much to the server atm. Just want to take a look around.

    Right, there's a communal farm with wheat, carrots and spuds as well as moo-cows for delicious tasty steak. That's located outside Rachel_Ann and rashers' place which is about 30 blocks from spawn :)

    I'm going to try and put a boundary around Spawn (as it's protected it might be handier to make it clear).

    That annoying moment when you realise that the strange floating wizard's tower you were building that you wanted to put a Nether Portal to is too close to an existing portal and you've already spent 6 hours building the strange floaty thing.

    RAEG!

    Time to examine the Commands list, I saw something about copying and moving all blocks within an area...

    Does it not even work if you manually place a new nether portal on the exact spot in the nether it should be in?

    Ah that'd be far too sensible! :p

    I might drop a Nether side portal roughly where I'd like and see what happens :)

    OK, through some tinkering, I have managed to get Command Blocks working as teleporters. The Nether Wart grow-house at spawn now has a button that brings you to a distant location that has a Nether Portal that spawns you into the entrance of the Nether Fortress, just behind the first staircase down into its depths. There's also teleportation within the Nether itself from the town spawn portal to the entrance to the Fortress.

    If you want any teleportation devices I can hook you up, so I'll need To and From coordinates to set them up.

    Found what might be a stronghold last night. Not sure yet. Could be just an abandoned mine shaft. Managed to get a small bit through and got rid of a cave spider spawner. Will grab the co-ords if anyone wants to help discover (loot) the place.

    Edit: Just looked up cave spiders and the wiki says they are only in abandoned mine shafts. So it's probably that and not a stronghold.

    Uh-oh. I just ran headlong in to an Ocean Monument, and promptly got swatted by a laser-toting Guardian. I wasn't able to save the co-ordinates, but if there is some kind of log that can tell you where I kicked the bucket about three minutes ago, we might be able to find it again.

    I just saw some kind of unnatural structure just below the surface: had I known more about it, well, I would have gotten out of the way and posted the co-ordinates here. I have a rough idea where it is, in the SE quadrant about 1500-2000 blocks from spawn. I might go back for a look.

    I killed the Wither, it was blowing the <bleep> outta the fortress and it meant no one could get into it.

    If we wanna have a "lets fight the Wither" event, we can do that :)
