Below the 16th block then in chunks. Check mine craft fourms for mods or tools to find slimes. There's a formula to finding them. Since nothing is ever really random on computers.

I'm thinking about adding mods for my SSP saves. Which ones do you guys think work best in general (i.e. you ought to have them just because they're awesome)?

According to Krovan he even came online later and started talking in his broken english, then when Krovan told him his building rights had been revoked he said 'Well fuck you all' in perfect english and logged.

Anyway, I think I'll return to the server when the we're at 1.9 or whatever is coming next. The one with the enchantments and potions. Then I'll start on a project or something.

I've told you specifically in the past, on Steam, that I would never grief Minecraft. I spelled out my exact reasons for this stance.

Yes, I think griefing is hilarious. Yes, I think griefers make the game more interesting. Yes, I think people who are that bothered by griefing have issues.

But I'd still never do it. You should know better than to accuse me of these things. You know me pretty well as it is.

I, good sir, completely disagree with your opinion in every aspect.

I know that when I build something in game, no matter how large and impressive or how small and stupid it is, I don't like anyone fucking with it. Sure, little things like someone posting a sign with comments and such can be fun and awesome, but real griefing, well that I don't abide with in any form or fashion. It comes down to this: treat others as you yourself want to be treated. Period. If you like griefing and find if funny then play on a server that allows that behavior. There are plenty of them where griefing is encouraged and the norm. NeoGAF is not one of them. We like our shit being preserved and left alone for others to see and enjoy. I find nothing about griefing on our server hilarious in any fashion.

But, that's my opinion.

OK, I started building a transportation system to help me get around the server,and so far I've got this:
http://i.imgur.com/KS0Vq.jpg[IMG]

Red dots are locations I would like to be able to be accessed via my network.

Blue lines are the lowest priority for building, and I doubt I'll build them unless I get bored.

Green are Prioritized projects.

The red denotes work in progress/completed. I've nearly completed my railway from my base to Arktown, but I just need some more powered rails to make the return trip possible.

I'm also debating whether to make the routes underground in order to be efficient, or above ground for a more scenic approach. If it's above ground, I'll need to be more roundabout and build out of the way of other projects, though the endermen might present a problem.

Any suggestions?[/QUOTE]

Be sure you really want to do this. It's very time consuming to build, assuming you don't just do a 2x2 tunnel near the surface. Just got finished working on a rail systems for a server of about 15 people. Here's the service map:

[URL="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10657011/trains.jpg"]Linked due to size.[/URL]

Each station is exactly 512 apart, the North/South lines run at 36 down and East/West runs at 44 down. Eventually going to create a YouTube video of riding the line station to station. We also made each station fit the area it was in so that it wouldn't be an eyesore to people.

It seems like it doesn't take long when you plan it, but I think its taken us 2 weeks or so to finish with the other guy being in school, which allowed him to work on it during the day.

If only it were that easy. I also want to play with my friends, which means I have to put up with some rulesets I would otherwise hate.

One time me and a couple of friends "griefed" someone on an older GAF server by going into their house, stealing a record, placing a sign next to the chest where the record used to be that said "follow the trail if you ever want to hear the music again", and placing a path of redstone from the chest all the way out into the wild where no one had built anything. Then we put a sign at the end of the trail that said something to the effect of "up or down: you choose". We dug a hole straight down to where there was a hole in the bedrock and filled up the top few blocks, so if they dug down, they'd fall to their death. Then, a tiny floating island way up in the sky.

The record was buried in a chest under the house. A sign on the floating island explained as much.

It was awesome. I don't consider it real griefing, though. More of a prank. :3

I think the guy we did it to had already quit, so no one ever figured it out. ):

But going as far as actually destroying someone's building is way too far for me. I would feel terrible if I did that.

Now that's griefing with style. I can kind of appreciate that, since it wasn't really destructive.

That's what I was thinking. Losing all your millions of diamonds you might be carrying because of a trap someone made is no good.

Of course, one could then say that you should know better than to dig down, and you shouldn't be wearing diamond armor out in the countryside for fear of outlaws, etc.

Thanks..Yeah, took about 3 days to dig the hole. Was going to build a gaint tardis, even worked out the dimensions and stuff but didn't account for how rare Lapis Ore was so I had to abandon that idea. I did trade gold for some blue wool, but quickly lost them after getting killed by Creepers...twice. :(

Gaf! Help! My google-fu is weak. How do I either:

A. Find the seed to play the world shown in the title screen

or

B. Have the title screen show a world of mine in the background.

I keep getting this stupid wiki article explaining all of the yellow text blurbs.

The trap at least had some warning in that it was an obvouse thing that could happen (Plus, you should never just dig down), traps that kill you for just walking into a room are the worst. Once, when exploring, I walked into a this sizable shrine thing that looked cool, took a few steps, hit a switch, got pushed down into a opened up floor that revealed a lake of lava.

I may or may not have burned the guys house down after that.

On the first GAF server I built a tower underground. And a railway to get down. I made a giant lake of lava that the rail cart jumped into at the end of the railway, except I timed it so it landed in a hole of water that would lower it to the entryway. You couldn't see the hole until you were in it though, so everyone thought they were about to die.

Scared the crap out of people, was great.

I remember that! And now I have painful memories of my beautiful new community tower being built and then the server closing :(

A) It's not a seed anyone knows. Ask Notch. I highly doubt he'd know as he probably just created a world, took some screenshots and called it a day.

B) It's a set of images with PhotoShop applied blurring. It simply rotates the image slowly and changes to the others at an interval. It's a glorified screensaver with Ken Burns effects. It's not actually showing a real world and blurring the image as that would be extremely intensive on the processor.

Hey guys, so my friend started a server here with the minecraft server thing. But how can we save the server? I mean, the settings, etc. It would be sad to lose all our progress?

Actually, the Aether mod has the menu preview the area where you left off. I'm not sure how it goes about this, but it does show your world is some form.

Is there a reasonably good printable reference for crafting?

I know there's the wiki, but it's a pain to use when you're playing in fullscreen.

I love the Android app but my daughter isn't allowed to keep my phone just for that :)

Was there ever a reasonable replacement for the old minecart acceleration glitch added so you can have minecarts (powered or not) travel at a reasonable speed? For a game possibly inspired by Rollercoaster Tycoon, Minecraft needs more kart speed! :O

Well, depends on what you call reasonable. There are the powered minecart rails that he added soon afterwards, but those don't let you go nearly as fast as the earlier boosters do.

Need some help about editing a world....I just removed chunks from an old world hoping they would generate again with some new elements (villages, etc.)

Instead of generating the old chunks again, they're totally new. For example, I removed an ocean, but instead of ocean, there a huge mountain that completely ruins the landscape. Did I do something wrong? I was sure that once a world was generated, the chunks would stay the same because of the world's seed number.

It depends on when the old world was generated. There have been several big changes to the world generation in recent versions, so a world generated on a certain seed in 1.6 won't generate the same in 1.8 on the same seed.

That kinda sucks. The ground level and the water level changed as well. What should I do...

Best thing you can do is attempt to revert back to the version you were using before you deleted the chunks and re-generate them there. Still, you're going to have the same problem as soon as you explore new chunks in a newer version.
