Since the day I completed it, I have not touched my Harvester... Until now!

I finally added those jungle trees!
Then, I downsized the mushroom area to put in a nice batch o' Nether Wart and some fancy Cocoa Beans.
And lastly, since you all asked for it!* I got rid of 98% of the cobble used in the making of the Harvester!

*No one asked for it

PS: Mob grinder v2 will come eventually.

EDIT: I separated the sugar cane controls into 2. Each control 3 rows so you don't have to replant the whole thing anymore! Yay!

Coming from a newcomer: thanks for building that harvester. My horde of cyan sheep would've taken way longer to breed without a couple free stacks of wheat.

Also, I guess I never introduced myself in this thread. My Minecraft name is ashgad, in case you were wondering who that guy was. Pleased to make your acquaintance on Neocraft.

It's handy, I still use it from time to time. Especially for harvesting spruce and birch blocks.

 

[ArtistDude88]

No problem! Always glad to hear people still use it And welcome welcome!

Some good news! After 2 days of scouring YouTube videos of monster grinders and hours of tinkering with them in SP, I think I have finally found something that will work! If this works on the server as good as it does in SP, then you donators are going to be making TNTs like mad. But if it doesn't work that well on the server, sorry for getting your hopes up.

Now to just build it...

 

[NihonTiger90]

I found a Desert Temple. First one on the server maybe? Currently hunting down a jungle temple so I can loot it.

Also, yes, I am exploring new chunks. What made you guess that?

Haha, just don't walk in a straight line for 2 hours so the map doesn't end up looking like a spider again.

I'm exploring new chunks on the server too. Though I didn't go far at all before I found a huge ravine in a tundra with abandoned mineshafts at the bottom, and I've been there exploring ever since. I'm building up a village around it, and when thats done I'm going to turn the ravine into a huge branch mine network. And then the hunt for emeralds begins!!!


Though last night I was playing my main world offline and I came across one of the new jungle temples for 1.3. Had some cool traps in it and some nice loot too. I promptly turned it into a new base of mine, lol.

Always good to see new people join, never be afraid to speak up whilst you in the game if you want. We are all there for a good laugh and it is all good fun. But if you just want to find a quiet spot for yourself then that is good too (that is how I started).

Also, yes, I am exploring new chunks. What made you guess that?

Don't be afraid to explore, after all that was one of the reasons for the trim. Just as crazylegzlu explained try and not do it in huge spider like tendrils if possible.

Now speaking of the trim who wants a new "blow crap up" day video ? Good here it is :-

Part 6 Nihontigers tumbling tower, Spawn point splattered and The tri-force terminated.

I have made sure the content should be available to everyone. It runs out WMG are not as big an arsehole as EMI. Anyway enjoy and there are only three more vids left to do now.

 

[Ark]

Is there a map of the server btw? Haven't kept up to date with maps.

 

[Mengy]

Yeah, I maintain it now. Here is the link Ark:

Neocraft Map


It's current as of Sunday night. I'll be updating it again in a day or two.

 

[-Minsc-]

Post-apocalyspe, day three.

I'm currently slaving away in the Nether, piecing things together here and there. Mengy's spawn enclosure is rebuilt and now I'm moving on to restructure that hodge-podge of roads next to it. Even with out blowing the thing up it was still quite a mess.

If you need help rebuilding the Nether I'm game. I've been in a tidy up the server mood lately.

Aww I'm mising the fun. Infrastructure is my favourite part of SMP

Don't worry, no crazy tendrils, lol. Just been exploring around 1,000-1,200 blocks from Neolantis in the "New Lands"

Still looking for a jungle temple. Found a ton of emeralds and diamonds in an abandoned mineshaft in the extreme hills biome (it's at around x=-3700, z=-3000, which is about the edge of my current exploration). I am pleased.

Oh, and I found three Zombie Spawners all within walking distance of each other.

So does that make you the first person on Neocraft to find emeralds? I haven't found any yet on either Neocraft nor my SSP world. I don't really plan on using them for currency, I just want big green shiny blocks.

 

[Taffer]

Coming from a newcomer: thanks for building that harvester.

+1 from me (MilitantCactus) for all that tasty spruce.
Cheers Artist!

Maybe. And I've got about 20 of them.

 

[ArtistDude88]

The Harvester's Monster Loot Grinder is now open!

Unfortunately it's not spawning boatloads of monsters like it did in my SP world, but, it still gets the job done.

I put some standing platforms higher up because I thought maybe if people stood closer, it'd spawn more. I'd have to do some number crunching later to see if the hypothesis is correct.

Anywho enjoy! I'm going to put an ice pack on my hand.

 

[Nori Chan]

Just a quick question, is this the thread for the console versions as well? Or is there a sesperate one?

 

[Deraldin]

I've seen a few people talk about the console version in here before, but there is also an official thread here. Doesn't seem to be nearly as active.

 

[Monroeski]

Is it possible to untame a wolf? I'd like to set some wild around a village to protect against zombie sieges.

There's a mod for it, but not too sure you can do it in vanilla MC.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Coming from Jeb in the next update:

Cobblestone walls. I've been wanting these for a while, they should look really nice.

And from Dinnerbone:

Frames for items, and pots for plants.
Awesomely enough maps, compasses, and clocks will all be really useful on walls. When you frame a map, it will work as if you were using it. And compasses and clocks will display the proper direction and time. Not only that, but a framed clock will output a redstone signal, depending on day or night. So we now have a functioning day/night sensor.

So a few nice aesthetic items for you decorators out there.

 

[ZZMitch]

Ooh that stuff looks really good. I have to get back into Minecraft. I started a marathon Civ 5 game a few weeks back but am almost done!

OMG, that all sounds incredibly awesome! Finally a day / night sensor! Time to really delve into redstone technology...

 

[Morokh]

Oh god décoration items ! Sweet !!!

Glad to see the trimming of the map went well, i just hope the blaze spawner is still there, can't really see the screens on my crappy iPod

Can't wait to get home to see the videos (one and a half week to go xD )

 

[-Minsc-]

Ha ha, we never made it to the Blaze Grinder before we realized the nether wasn't backed up.

 

[-Minsc-]

1.3.2 is out.

http://mcupdate.tumblr.com/post/29554961741/minecraft-1-3-2

+ Added sideways logs in trees
* Fixed a bug that caused players to fall out of the world when going into the Nether
* Fixed a bug that caused random suffocation damage in water

Just to be safe, don't update your minecraft client without making the proper backups. I'll wait and see if this is compatible with Bukkit before updating.

 

[NihonTiger90]

1.4 = Cobblestone walls = I HAVE TO REBUILD MY ENTIRE CASTLE WALLS ;_;

 

[-Minsc-]

1.4 = Cobblestone walls = I HAVE TO REBUILD MY ENTIRE CASTLE WALLS ;_;

It's nice, however I'd like to see walls in other materials as well.

 

[Mengy]

1.4 = Cobblestone walls = I HAVE TO REBUILD MY ENTIRE CASTLE WALLS ;_;

Man, I just realized that with cobble "fence" walls coming up, couple that with upside down cobble stairs and we can now make really nice ramparts and castle walls and such.

I think it's time I start planning another medieval base or castle. It's been a long time since I've built one, but the time will soon be perfect...


Oh and I'm going to put flower pots freaking EVERYWHERE.

Yeah, I've been building my medieval-style mountaintop fortress for about 3 months now and I have just put the walls up around the main mountain.

Speaking of which, need to get your guys' opinions on something. One sec while I find it.

Oh, and that day/night sensor will be BEAUTIFUL for my next project. Something something something day/night redstone-powered piston portcullis for the village at the foot of my fortress to keep the villagers safe from zombies something something something

 

[-Minsc-]

FYI

I saw this in a thread on Minecraft Forums.

A little FYI to everyone that is having problems with pistons on servers. If it is a 1.3.1 Bukkit server, there is currently a bug with pistons that is unrelated to the 1.3.1 changes to pistons. If a piston is pulled by a sticky piston into a pre-powered position it won't activate, where as in single player or vanilla multiplayer it will. There is a proposed fix for it, we're just waiting for that to be promoted to an official dev build.

This explains why couldn't get the 1.3.1 fix for my door to work.

 

[Treefingers]

Sorry to burst your bubble (and mine!) but it's not true - see the comments here, it was a Twitter miscommunication.

 

[The Real Abed]

Oh wow. This game is advancing faster with Jeb in charge than when Notch was running it. Been waiting for stone walls (I assume they're also 1.5 blocks high as well) forever. And the frames and pots are so cool. Decorations for our houses. Hell yeah.

Also, they really should consider making that day/night sensor thing real anyway. It would be so useful if it were set to the right times. i.e. right before enemies spawn and right after sun rise.

 

[Mengy]

Well that's sad. The community has wanted a day/night sensor for a long time now.

The patch still sounds great though.

You can build one with redstone ... it's just needlessly complex.

 

[The Real Abed]

Actually, there are multiple ways. And the one I saw once didn't require much more than a piston and some redstone. It relied on water and dirt changing from dirt to grass and back. Personally I don't trust these and think they should just make one official already.

 

[georgc]

Hey gaf I've been away from Minecraft for a few months I want to get back into it and I want to see what I have to do to be able to move blocks on Neocraft. my username for minecraft is the same that I have for gaf.

 

[crackhead_bob]

How bout escalators and elevators? Maybe a nuclear power plant.

Some other features:

coal blocks
Redstone blocks
a rune translator for the enchantment table




Also, what are the chances that the XBox360 version will catch up with the pc?

 

[CrAzYLeGzLU]

Send Ark a PM with your name on Minecraft and he'll add you to the whitelist eventually.

 

[Morokh]

they work great the only problem you might encounter is a little delay.

The other solution is a villager trapped outside of his house with his door wired, much quicker

As for the 360 version it may eventually catch up with the pc one in time but not quite yet, and the limited map size is quite a big deal

 

[NihonTiger90]

Just a heads up:

Saturday at 3 p.m. Eastern (noon Pacific, 7 p.m. GMT) will be the lighting ceremony over at The Torch at my fortress. Everyone's invited to come visit. There will be cake and fire and I'm recording it as an intro for one of my NihonTiger on NeoCraft episodes in the near future.

Also, Episode 21 is going up tonight/tomorrow. It's caving adventures with myself and Minsc. Probably the most unintentionally hilarious episode I've done to date because I do a few really stupid things.

 

[Ark]

If someone reminds me, I'll drag myself away from my castle and check it out

 

[Mengy]

It looks like we are getting paintable armor in 1.4:

Sounds cool, though I won't be able to make it. Cows don't milk themselves. Now, if you hold off 3-4 hours I can be there no problem.

Our caving adventure, I was wondering if you recorded that.

It looks like we are getting paintable armor in 1.4:

Is it all armour or just leather armor?

 

[NihonTiger90]

Sure did record it. All three-ish hours.

And I picked that time as I thought it'd be busiest but it might be delayed if no one's on, lol.

 

[Xun]

It looks like we are getting paintable armor in 1.4:

That's nice.

Now give us the ability to paint stone!

 

[ArtistDude88]

Lol paintable armor... Give us armor that actually looks nice enough to paint.

 

[-Minsc-]

That's nice.

Now give us the ability to paint stone!

Personally I was thinking paintable wooden planks. Paintable stone would be cool too.
