Al-medina at night

I've been suggested to build something in Al-Medina but I have no idea what to do that can be in context with the city.

I collected a bunch of sand and sandstone stacks last night to build there. Now, like you guys, I have no idea what to build or where to build it. Everything has been done so well already, it feels.
Just look at that overview picture Henry posted. So amazing. It looks like the entire layout was intricately planned.

I wanna build a house off somewhere in an open area with a road to it. A farmhouse mainly like I posted. But I'd need a reasonable space of land. I'd probably build a barn. I just wish you could paint wood red. I don't know what I'd use to represent red barn wood. I really wish Notch would let us use dyes on anything to colorize it. Or at least stuff like wood. So for now just a house. With sandstone for the walls like the screenshot I posted. That's okay, right? Sandstone can be used as bricks if we want. It's not like we get many choices. I ain't gonna hunt down a lot of clay for it. I wanna come on tonight and do some preparation mining first for materials.

I can't wait to see your hotel. You build some awesome stuff along with Henry and Mengy and many others on the server. I think what I'm gonna do for my next build is try not to plan much of it at all. My only "planned" segment will be my front door since I want to make a door with pistons.

Grinchy's texture pack looks awesome which one is it?
Edit: oh oh, just found a screenshot of my first project on NeoCraft. Doesn't include the pipe which hadn't been built yet.
They have since been destroyed, because I started building Peach's castle and realized that I wasn't having fun finding wool all day and mixing dyes. At least now I have a whole lot of colored wool I can use on the mosque!
I started something just like this. Half of my pipe is still there. I quit after a chunk error ate all my stuff. I never did come back.

Not sure how I missed that question. I must have just been staring at your pics lol.HenryHSH said:
But it is called Bordercraft. It is a lot like Minecraft4kids but less "kiddy." After a long break from Minecraft, I may finally be able to stick with a pack that isn't the default one!

F that noise! It looks so awesome so far.

So I added sprinting, just to try it out. Double tap forward to start running, like the fast jump move thing from Unreal, but it only works forwards, like sprinting in most modern FPS games. It felt slow and weird until I added a FOV change as well, but now it's fun and addictive. I feel like there needs to be a drawback to doing it, though, or you'll feel like you're wasting time when you're not sprinting."

Tell him to make it craft-able running shoes!
Well. The server derping out seems to have caused snow biomes to appear all over the place. There's snow biomes at the pyamid, BootyBay and other places where there was no snow to be seen before.
Since their biomes, they can't be easily fixed. THere actually is a way to fix it, but it's damned complicated. So I hope no body minds a little snow here and there? At least Al-Medina has stayed desert/rain.

But that'd be the downside to the sprint :U

Well, better fucked up biome than other bugs that could have been worse. If however you ever get the courage to fix it... don't hesitate

I'll look further into a fix for it tomorrow (or later today, it's 3am right now)

We've got to wait for Toki to update the map again before we know for sure that no actual chunk errors cropped up.
I don't know if this mod has been updated: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/71565-biometerrain-mod-v112-3-125-smp-updated/

Al-Medina Laundromat is now working properly (for now)
Actually, messed up biomes isn't that bad. I mean, having snow in Bootybay could be cool. Seeing that town with the sea frozen and snow around...? Cool!Ark said:Well.

Yeah. For the 1.8 I'd love if we could delete some of the empty areas between current spawn and Al-Medina and Bootybay. That area only has like one or two houses that, worst case scenario, could be moved somewhere else. But the people that made them probably aren't even around anymore!.Ranger X said:
That way we could have awesome terrain features near the whole activity areas, instead of having to go yet further away. Also, I think before we continue to go further away from spawn, we should make stuff in the areas in-between, potentially ending up with some awesomely long roads that connect the towns!.
Edit: This is how I imagine it:
My plans would be..Dmax3901 said:I've been coming in every now and then and doing a Helm's Deep-esque wall and fort thing, but if you guys start making an entirely new city I'd be on all the time to help out
Start working on the Asian (Japanese) town now. We don't need extra features to build that and we can keep people busy with it (except for those still building things in Al-Medina). Right now I'm connecting Al-Medina by road (gravel) all the way west to where I'd like to have the town.
Then, once 1.8 hits we should start working on some epic city for the new spawn. Probably some sort of fortress or whatever. That should be decided with votes.
Not right now. If you go to Al-Medina though, you should be able to easily spot the road. It's on the west side and you can see it from the left side of the mosque. It has a wooden bridge near the end of the road.Dmax3901 said:
Basically the road is: 2 blocks of gravel for the in-land paths, and 4 blocks of wood (2 blocks used for the side fences) for the bridges. I wanna keep it fairly close to the seaside, with bridges here and there to make it more interesting and actually fun to walk through. Add in a couple curves here and there for the same reason (not walking a straight line, but an actual more "realistic" path).
If you wanna help, just go ahead and put some more gravel on the ground. Either that, or make half-blocks of stone and put them to make the steps where it's gravel. Right now you have to jump, and it sucks.
Also, I'm keeping the lights every 6 or 7 blocks (just check on the bridge), so if you wanna light up the gravel path as well (put a fence block and a torch on top), that would be very helpful as well.
I will try to connect sometime soon, but you might have to wait until I finish work... 6 hours from now
Edit: Also, the gravel blocks are surrounded by sand except in a couple cases where one side might be showing gravel for a short length, but never both sides.
