Well since there's no way yet of saving any items when you go offline, whether they be player held or in a chest, it seems pointless of going to the effort to get valuable items. For example you could spend a couple of hours on a mining expedition to get diamonds, but it seems a waste of time if your newly made diamond pickaxe can simply disappear.Firehead said:

Well you can smelt smooth stone instead of using that horrible ass cobblestone for everything.

I was referring more to his last sentence about spawning items.Pinko Marx said:
Download and place this file in your Minecraft directory. Run it instead of Minecraft.exe and you'll have persistent inventory online. Log on and any items you had on your person during the previous session will still be there.

I've been trying to help with this, but I have no idea what the dimensions are supposed to be. I'm the guy who built the staircase up and the strange outward dirt patch. Maybe you could draw up a the dimensions, or at least build a sort of outline for everyone to fill in.Poetaster said:So I've decided to turn what I've been working on into a dinosaur.
I'll never finish this by myself so if anyone wants to work on it feel free.
What I wanted to do was take the ground down all around it so I could build the body there and keep the neck really long. But now there's a pathway right by the neck and a sand pyramid behind it so that's not going to be possible. Guess I'll just have to move it over some. :lolPillowKnight said:

Or integrate the pyramid into its design! (With permission) It could be a dinosaur that ate a pyramid.Poetaster said:
SERVER: Gafland
ADDRESS: oatmealmu.dyndns.org
Here's what's in store for tomorrow's server upgrade:
Automated map backup
It's just as it sounds. Map will automatically be backed twice a day. Countdown will let players know what's up. Requires server restart.
Working buckets
You can has a bucket. Use it.
Colored names
A splash of color.
Reworked kits
Removed glass kit since glass can now be smelted. Renamed basic kit to "starter". Starter kit now has flint & steel for lighting furnaces.
Furnaces
Here's how they work:
They can be relit and reused. Be careful, though. If you open and close the furnace's inventory while the fire's out, all items inside are lost. If you do happen to walk away while smelting and the fire goes out, make sure to take out all of the items before relighting the furnace.

Well I'm still building the Pyramid at the moment, maybe when I get to a point where it feels like too much work to make it bigger we can consider integrating the monuments.PillowKnight said:

Firehead's and Oatmeal's servers are both offline right now but they're usually online most days. Hopefully they'll be up some time soon.mandiller said:

Only if that staircase leads to the ceilingDrkirby said:
It'll probably take forever and a day to do, with all the sand mined for miles around, but that's how big I want the pyramid to be. I can dream
Are you the one who flattened the mountain near it? And I hope my Glass > Wood > Cobble > Dirt Pyramid that I encased oatmeal in while he was idle in the area doesn't get in your way.OgTheClever said:Only if that staircase leads to the ceilingIt'll probably take forever and a day to do, with all the sand mined for miles around, but that's how big I want the pyramid to be.

The damn pyramid started from within a mountain, I just gradually dug my way out. The only reason I started there was so that there would be enough room to finish it, although worryingly, new constructions have started appearing nearby.Drkirby said:
Well, it will work soon enough. The rules are really just a draft since we don't have an official server anyway, and since SMP is so rough around the edges.
My thinking was that we would (at least try) to have a server where everything is communal, everyone shares, storage is very organized, and we work TOGETHER to build unified structures.
And then, besides that, anyone else can run semi-official GAF servers where our list of rules may or may not be followed. These all can have a home in the OP.
Once SMP is more complete I won't link to servers that allow for item spawning in the OP, though. In my eyes it's cheating. It's cool for now since SMP is so broken.

What works and what doesn't work should definitely be clarified in the OP. Anytime someone new comes into a server everything needs to be explained again. "What, signs don't work?" At least put a little parenthesis note by #3.

Good work today guys, that mountain will be gone soon enough
Yep. Then I can make my tiny house with a big lawn surounded by mountains. It will have trees, some flowers, a nice green lawn, and maybe a swimming pool. I may even put in a little garden if there is enough room.BakugekiNZ said:Good work today guys, that mountain will be gone soon enough
If only I could put a white picket fence around it, then I could live 1950's America's Dream.

If you're concerned about aesthetics then create one out of bamboo/papyrus, although if it's to stop intruders then make a fence of cactus.Drkirby said:

Signed up and ready to go!
Good fun tonight, I wish this topic was as active as the game was. You wouldn't know the server always had 8+ people on it :lol
Since someone else finished cutting down my mountain, I moved my wood stash to Oat's Wood Storage room, and started digging a tunnel near the warehouse. Got a decent amount of stuff, made 2 diamond block, 2 Iron Block, and 1 Gold block out of all the stuff I dug up. Would of had a bunch more Iron if Pillowknight didn't cause me to die
