And here I was about to come and say something along the lines of "I'm really happy at how my little town is doing". I said DAMN!
But yeah, what started off as a lakeside retreat has now become home to a few new residents over the past week. A big thank you to all of those involved so far, it's looking great and you've helped me out a bunch. I hope we can continue to expand this little town further over the next few weeks and really make something special out of it. I had no ideas as to a name for the town as I had no intention of it becoming so big however I think I've settled on PriestTown (PTown) after my home town.
I'd like to extend everyone the invitation to come and build something, no matter how humble it may be. To get to us, just warp to the dungeon and take a 90 degree left and you'll see us.
I'll get some screens up when I'm not being ridiculously lazy too. It's mad to look at it now, compared to what it looks like on the map.
After I've built a few more bits and finished my new mini-moria, I'll start building in other places! And on that note, does anyone have the coordinates or a rough location of where moria was on the old map? Been searching for it for ages with no luck!

That's goddamned amazing. Too bad their official website is currently down. I'd love to take a walk or fly through that world, or at least watch a video tour of it.

Looks like King's Landing from Game of Thrones, I remember their earlier stuff being really impressive as well.
This will be the new endgame
forget ender dragons, It's "build kings landing in minute detail" from now onIn my latest SP world I built my base of operations literally on the spawn point. It's pretty convenient incase the bedspawn doesn't work.
If you're going to go several thousands of block away from your spawn you might want to plop down a netherportal at your spawn and make a shortcut that way.

Ohhhhhhhhh purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrleeeeeeeeeeaseeeeeeeeeee they are mere amateurs compared to the Denizens of Neocraft. On Neocraft we have actually bonafide horse genitalia :-
Does this fancy smancy Game of Thrones have horse Genitalia ? I don't think so, therefore by the rules of the internet Neocraft wins hands down quite literally.
Oh and whilst I was in Priest town I did a couple of other renders :-

I am afraid these are renders using a program called Chunky. I wish minecraft did look like this :-(. About the closest you can get to something like this in minecraft is using the shader mod which will cut your framerate down into single figures and make the game unplayable.

Charlie I need a render of my fortress. From the good side of course.
Is Chunky difficult to use?
Man, torch placement is broken in Minecraft Pocket Edition 0.6.0 (released today, Jan 30). If there is more than one surface adjacent to a block of air (like in a corner), the game chooses which surface will get the torch, no matter which surface you point to (even in split-touch mode where you point with the cross hairs). This is amazingly aggravating. And it worked perfectly in the previous version. What the hey?
I'm probably the only person on GAF playing the Pocket Edition. Just ignore me.

Will see what I can arrange for tomorrow, just about to hit the hay now.
Nah I wouldn't say it is difficult, certainly not as hard as all those dedicated rendering programs out there. All you do is load the minecraft map into Chunky, select the area you want to render and then set the position of the camera. The rest is just time, it takes about 30 - 60 mins to get a decent quality render. You can download Chunky from here :-

Grab it and have a play around with it, you won't hurt anything.
For the record, that particular addition was Charlie's idea. It does add a certain something, though...
Nice renders btw. I like how you can see Silver and DK Jr off in the distance in that last one. Pretty good distance!

Yeah yeah and like you weren't there going "do it Charlie, go on do it, do it, do it" and that is the story I am sticking too if Ark complains about the erm "stud stallion".
BTW Xeno here are a couple of renders of your fortress :-
Right I have spammed enough, will be on the server later to continue my 100 layer dome that is taking weeks to do :-( hope to catch you all there.

Forgot to post this, but I did a tutorial on that redstone torch-powered door if you guys were interested on how I built it. It's the one with the auto-retrieval mechanism.

I think I need to work more on the GAF Kong temple. Not looking how I'd hoped.

The server crashing is always Charlie's fault, lol!
Come to Neocraft, you simple quote the second or third post of this thread (whatever, the post with the servers info) and then you can join in.
Ark or a mod will need to whitelist you however if you want to build something.
Sounds good, I'll give it a go tomorrow!
I see i'm not the only one that lost his Minecraft-Asian-Mojo xD
Tried to build some things when Liz started Gaf-kong and wasn't able to get something to look right either ... and it's not like I was all about asian-style when 1.2 came out to the point where i Built a Jungle Pagoda xD

Wow. And to think that my house was once in the middle of nowhere. Good work all!

Why does the harvester affect you finishing your house?
It's a chore going over there. Even though everything I need is right there, actually getting the stuff is exhausting because I get like 4 FPS there.
NihonTiger90

Odd; how old is the PC you're playing on? I get a bit of lag when I warp in and everything's loading but beyond that, I don't get much anymore at the harvester.
I'm playing on a Dell Studio laptop. I'm running Optifine, but the problem is my whatever just doesn't run Minecraft well.

I've always stuck with the Painterly Pack, myself.
xenoflux2113

So you are getting constant lag then and going to the harvester brings that lag to a crawl? Or are you fine and its only the harvester?
dangerbyrnes

i particularly like sphax pureBDcraft. i use the 128X128 version. (i also like how it supports some mods)
oh also, if you use the 128 version i think you need optifine, or the water+lava textures aren't there.

64 bit Java?
It's basically only the harvester. I have 64 bit Java too. My laptop simply can't handle all the animals.

when you are at the harvester does turning your settings down including turning sound off help? I had an issue on my work computer with that and dropping the settings down and turning off the sound in the options gave me a stable framerate.
If that doesn't help then just avoid the harvester. Sure it makes things easy but everything at the harvester can be gathered elsewhere as well, well except the readily available colored wool. If that's what you are needed then you're outta luck unless you do it the long way.

I could also bring a few things over to his place if he needs them. Don't mind helping out if it's something you can't readily find.
I'll just deal with the harvester if that's okay. It's just a chore, not difficult.
Thanks!
I logged onto Neocraft earlier and had no idea what to do.
Do I need permission to build somewhere or can I just start building wherever I want? Do I get my own plot of land? Does the server run a mod?
