I will post them later tonight if nobody else does it first! It'll be close enough to 0,0 though

I meant the coords from inside the nether - i have a big hub that i can connect to it and it brings you at at my base - about 2000 blocks away

Cheers either way! there's no rush on it, i have a few bits to do around my base so when you get a chance!

I know, the nether co-ords will be roughly 0,0 also!

Darkglasses · 05-02-2016 1:21am

I went to the cinema and forgot

It should definitely be within fifty blocks or so of 0,0 though, the portal is very very close to original spawn point.

Darkglasses · 05-02-2016 6:40pm

Spawn nether portal is located at precisely 16, 90, 26

Cheers! I'll start getting some tracks together, you wouldn't happen to have a few hundred pieces of cobblestone by any chance do you?

Sorry bro, I've been really low on cobble since making the Ikea.

mhiggy09 · 09-02-2016 12:36am

I'm sure I have lots of cobble. If you know where my house is you can go and get some. Theres a rail from spawn to it

Where abouts is your place?

Pompous · 09-02-2016 4:08pm

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.

Any chance of a whitelist? thanks

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

Darkglasses · 11-02-2016 10:03pm

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.

Darkglasses · 12-02-2016 7:03pm

Cobaas, the rail line to your place is completed

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

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?

Yeah I have tonnes, I'll leave them by your base tomorrow.

Darkglasses · 17-02-2016 11:08pm

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?

Pompous · 18-02-2016 8:40am

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?

Solitaire · 18-02-2016 2:35pm

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.

I hope it's that simple.

Think the full version is due a week from today

Are we going to be upgrading to 1.9 next week?

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

brianorourke · 05-03-2016 1:50pm

Thought I may as well ask here, could I get added to the town hall?

Name is Leoplureodon.

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.

Cobaas · 08-03-2016 3:45pm

Was doing some enchanting and ended up with a spare diamond pickaxe with silk touch, anyone want to trade 3 diamonds for it? (3 diamonds so I can make a new pickaxe hopefully with fortune!) Anyway let me know if you're interested!

I'll take that deal! Where is your base?

Cobaas · 08-03-2016 10:34pm

You know where my base is!

Right at the very end of the rail track on the Northern branch, managed to connect the nether hub back to spawn the other day, not fleshed out yet though so atm its just a tunnel!

Ill leave it in a chest by the railtrack tomorrow morning, wont be on tonight and its in my inventory

I'll leave a chest there tonight

I left it in the same chest for you

Cobaas · 09-03-2016 4:34pm

@Darkglasses You might want to check out the nether portal by the beacon at spawn, on the nether side

Darkglasses · 09-03-2016 9:34pm

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.

Pompous · 10-03-2016 12:51am

Does that mean it's time for me to update the server?

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.

Pompous · 21-03-2016 12:33am

No upgrade in progress. I'll sort out the server first thing tomorrow. Sorry for the delay folks.

Also, if anyone wants to take over the running of the server, you're more than welcome. I'm not exactly doing a stand-up job since I don't really play any more.

Not to worry though, I'll never quit without someone to take my place.

bnt · 21-03-2016 12:01pm

Do you think this map could work on a Realms server? 1.9.0 only, no mods. If so, I have a Realms account already and would consider doing that.

Pompous · 21-03-2016 6:34pm

Thanks for the offer but I think it would be better to keep it where it is. It's being hosted for free right now, indefinitely. Realms also has a maximum upload limit. Even if the map is small enough now to transfer to Realms, this limit would undoubtedly cause problems in the future.

The server is online now, sorry for the delay.

Pompous · 21-03-2016 8:54pm

Server is upgraded to 1.9

So yeah, the dragon is re-spawned already! I am now in the end, alive, but with very few blocks and no ladders. When you're coming in, bring a LOAD of ladders.

Darkglasses · 22-03-2016 9:33pm

Presume people are mostly off work/college on Friday or Monday? Shall we arrange a dragon-slaying date?

jamo2oo9 · 22-03-2016 11:31pm

Wish I was able to play more often my Virgin keeps throttling my internet so bad that I can't even play over ethernet without the ping going over 100ms

Moving out in 7 weeks so hopefully, the broadband will be decent and non-Virgin :rolleyes:

Renegaid · 30-03-2016 2:55am

I shall be pottering about here and there. Granted I am on Canada time, so may not see yee
