The first couple of times I tried it, my damn sacrifice must have been too far from the altar (yet still appearing close enough) because nothing happened when I sacrificed them. I made the mistake of not bringing a backup sacrifice the first couple of times, and then the third time (full days passing, so slowly, sooo slooooowly) I had a backup sheep but the first sacrifice worked!
I just suck at ritual sacrifice, apparently

Yeah, I think it needs to be right next to the enchanting table to work. But yeah, waiting for midnight to do it sucks, especially when you're doing it on a server and people keep sleeping.

I have a question. Is there ever any upside in completely filling in abandoned caves with blocks, even if they're well lit, or is it just a waste of time? Does doing so improve the performance of mob grinders?
Just lighting everything up is fine
And even then you need only light up ground spaces. I'd overdo it a bit with torches. There are usually spawning spaces you don't see and more coal than you need (esp with fortune) in the cave.
What are villagers actually supposed to do with the crops when they harvest them, anyhow?
Breed. Well chance too..just like trading. All a chance. With farming it would have been semi automatic.
Hmm. But they breed anyhow, to fit the number of doors in a village, correct?
Yeah but with added constraints of having to have food or you having to trade with them for them to consider breeding. I think it's to stop those breeding setups from going crazy and making infinite villagers.
I'm pretty sure there was a limit to village size anyhow, though. I have enough villagers to spawn four or five golems for them at Fuchsbaum, but they're limited by numbers of doors, and they don't treat the far flung portions of the village as part of it--if I drag them to the edge they'll run back "home".
That's not how the old automated villager breeders worked before 1.8. All you had to do was keep the villagers about 30 blocks(or something like that) away from the breeding station and you would be able to have an infinite amount of villagers.
There was always a limit even pre 1.8
Now you have to trade or "feed" to increase willingness. One way was any brown clothed would farm and throw it around so other villagers would "feed".
The only way is to trade..every time. And so far can't do same trade every time.
As it stands its faster to convert zombie villagers into villagers than breeding.

I quickly bred up a sizeable population on my friend's server by just spamming doors and unlocking trades. But on gafland I have 2 villagers who refuse to procreate. I'm not sure if I agree or disagree with you!
Have put aside the Witching life to build a new, modern base using Applied Energistics, Thermal Expansion, Big Reactors, Magical Crops, Mekanism, MineFactory Reloaded and I don't know how many more mods at this point (still using Yogscast Complete). Lots of fun, especially now that the ME Assembler has started kicking in for the really complex crafting
Tantagel castle is now (mostly) connected to rail! It's out past Spookyville. I'm calling the new area Alefgard, for obvious reasons.
While I've got the path and the track laid, I still need to get the powered rails done. I've got them about 25% complete, but I'd appreciate help if anyone feels so inclined.
It's done!
I've tried to make the rail path fairly scenic, so I hope people enjoy it. :

In 0.25x speed mode looks much more epic.
Oh, just realised the way footage was recorded. True hardcore.
So did you build the rail off the swamp station before Spookyville?
I've got lots of spare gravel, only question is how to get it to you... need to migrate a lot more of my supplies from Fuchsbaum to my new castle project, so I guess I'll be schlepping it along the rails.

also way south at arks china/asia city, mega gravel enviroment. depending on where your base is either north of fuchs or arks place would do fine

You know, if we ever did put mods on the server I'd be all for the sandwich mod.
Phase 2 of the guardian grinder is halfway done...
Cool. If you put it in some chests for me I can take the train up to your place and get it. I need like 3 chests if you can spare it.

I've got a double chest and change full. I've left it at the Altenau station on the Orange Line, so it should be a bit closer to where you're building (or at least a less indirect route.)

My Spookyville build is all done, and of course, I recorded myself working on it a bit more. Didn't end up exactly how I wanted but it's pretty close.

So, I'm thinking of setting up a pig racing event later this month or early next month for everyone to participate in. Would there be interest?
I'm down to race. This going to be on some course or whatnot?

Oh my, I'll have to merge old NeoCrafts End with Gaflands End. This way we can use the rainbow road from the NeoCraft map. Or we could rebuild rainbow road.

Yeah, the thought was back in the day when we had both worlds, that we'd race on both the Mario Kart tracks and some custom-made temporary tracks around people's builds (my first fortress, Minsc's cloud village, etc.).
At this point, I think we might use shadowpuppet's racing track near the original spawn town and some temporary courses around the server.
If folks are interested in participating either as a course maker and/or racer, that's cool. I think we'll try to use Mumble again to get as many folks as we can in there.
Pigs/saddles/etc. is stuff we can supply via creative mode for each race so we don't have to take our pigs all over the map unless we want to.

I cannot approve of this, charlie and my husband will never stop ordering me to make one. Love the idea though

If anyone was looking for a modded server, I put one up for a few friends and don't mind having gaffers join in. Quote for technic pack link and IP.
I'll post what's in the pack, but it's fairly similar to the last mod server.

I've been eyeing this game for sometime. I've been watching a bunch of twitch streams and all I see is a bunch of people having a ton of fun.
I've never tried a game like this so I was wondering how easy is it to get into? I don't know anyone else that plays Minecraft so is like to jump in on GAF's server if possible. How active is the server btw?

We've usually got a few people on, depends on what time zone you frequent. Usually Dry and Charlie are the perennials. I haven't been on much recently because of work
Minecraft's pretty straightforward to get into; I recommend keeping the Minecraft Wiki nearby for crafting recipes until you get the hang of them, though. And asking people on the server can help too.
