Enderman farm has that built in already. Woohoo!
sometimes you do get decent drops though. my current boots came from a grinder. [unbreaking 3, protection 4, featherfalling 3 gold boots]
in unrelated news.

true. I guess you could filter - eg throw away bones and arrows from a skelly farm and put the rest in overflow?
edit: Server down?
Some mob armour drops are pretty good (I have a nice chainmail aqua affinity & respiration hat) - bows too. Also you can't have enough arrows and bonemal
When I was building the double zombie grinder, I tried putting a hopper in as the killing floor, but due to the slight dip in the top of it, it allowed some mobs to glitch out of the killzone. I think.
I finished upgrading the Public Mob Grinder to version 2.0!
I got the grand tour last night this thing is pretty awesome.
Also is there anyway to get an entire world map shot? The one in the op is a dead link and I was interested in looking over the map before I build. If anyone wants to explain how its done then i don't mind doing it.
map or world upload? there is a map here but don't know how updated it is.

This is what I needed thanks.
That's fairly recent, last couple of days at most.
It's either yesterday or the day before judging by progress on my house.

This is semantics, and nothing more
Yeah, this was updating last night, though I know it's not current through last night. I agree it must be no more than 2 days old, though.

Hey all,
I've read all the recent posts and I apologise for taking the signs too seriously. All is chill here, and I wanna say a big thanks to Minsc for posting those guidelines. I feel like I understand things a lot better now
FYI I'm now experimenting with adding other rock types to my castle project to make it look more interesting and less mono-block, so hopefully in future it'll be something people won't mind looking at. However there will always be SOME cobblestone as I quite like the look, so I guess you can't please everyone
It's nice to know my efforts were appreciated.
This is one of the reasons I stick with the default texture pack. If it looks good on default it should look good everywhere.Im using the ChromaHill resource pack and cobblestone looks really good on it.
Though I am building my fortress in stone blocks
gave your grinder some anvils and an enchanting table. feel free to de-ugly the enchanting room.
also noticed that the bottom of the lifting tubes were clogged with baby zombies holding zombie flesh, i killed them all but thats something we should keep an eye on.
There's an easy solution. Baby zombies will fit into a 1x1 hole. The zone between the two tubes should therefore contain a lava pit into which the baby Z's can be pushed with an overrun of the flowing water. This should be fun to watch, so I will make sure there is a viewing gallery.
EDIT: I have now implemented this. I got killed by baby zombies with my own sword many times as payment.

When Mengy is no longer an enemy of the state he needs to add those rules to the OP. I think they might be a bit too long for me to add into the /Rules bit though. But I could do it anyway?
Is it possible to and a link to the /rules?
And,
Before we go posting the rules in game we should fill in those numerical values I left open.

Good idea
I'd say 100 blocks would work.
I'd say 500 blocks here.

Just logged on and say cmagus had moved all his stuff from the lonely little mountain he was occupying next to mine.
You can build up there! I don't mind! Most of what my post referred to was making sure no one else built on the remaining mountains, but that's probably not much of an issue now since I've started work on my fortress.

You're a wicked man
Can I download this map somehow? I can only get the web version.
Here's a top-down map from a week ago:

Whoa, that mapping utility takes torches seriously.
It's like £3-5 or something, not a problem really, but it's unnecessary to have 20 slots when that many people won't be playing
If that's the case this weekend then I'll keep it at 20 for a while longer.

IMPORTANT NEWS
Arkyoto v2.0 will eventually open up as a community project once I'm done laying down the groundwork (people are welcome to help with the groundwork too
). It will be completed, even if my CPU melts in the process.Here is my plan (and pathetic progress) thus-far; opinions welcome:
Ignore the blue-tint, that's my flux & fraps being dumb. I'm unsure of what to put in that lake; I'd put a dragon head statue or something similar there, but I lack such talent. A pagoda would obscure view of the castle.
Staying in-line with a lot of Gafland right now, I've not made any plans for anything huge yet (the port is an exception, because my giant harbour ambitions will one day be realised). The castle is going to take me ages just to get the positioning of it all correct.
Is that Minutor? It looks like it is, but then again that looks different than these v2.01 pics I just rendered:

Its cool man I didn't move my house because of your post. I moved because I have a project I want to do in the forest area.
It...erm....might be 12,000 blocks away from spawn. I'd set up a portal but I actually don't know how.
A water shrine/temple is something I forgot about! That'll fit into the port nicely, good ideas coming out already
The trees in the main town area need clearing out so that we can lay out some infrastructure. I'm thinking of not building plots, and just letting people build where ever they want in that area, aside from a main road/path that leads from the castle entrance to the bridge.
I checked out the GAF server yesterday. I tried a year or so ago and got a load of dropouts, but yesterday seemed better, although I was the only person there at the time.
I'd like to be whitelisted, if Ark or CC would be so kind. My Minecraft user name is dejay
I haven't really played on a MC server before, despite owning the game since alpha (I think). I have some questions to make sure I don't get off on the wrong foot.
1 - What's the etiquette for going in other's houses?
2 - Am I allowed to take a bunch of farm produce, as long as I replant?
3 - Are there any restrictions on how far I'm allowed to explore and/or build away from spawn?
4 - Where can't I mine? I believe there's a mesa biome south of spawn that's off limits for example. Or is it a case of mine wherever you like underground? What about collecting dirt and sand?
5 - Is the donate button in the OP still the right one? I plan to donate anyway, after testing my connection a few times, but does donation grant anything extra?
6 - I plan to build a 50 block-high penis out of cobblestone at spawn. Is that cool?
That last one's a joke obviously. I'd use smooth stone.

In terms of gathering sand and dirt, a lot of the "dirt" north of spawn is actually turfed over desert so I would venture to the west or SE to get your sand fix
Cartograph G. The program is a couple of years old now but there's config file updates so it still works with 1.7.4

Looks like a sweet location. The castle especially has a great site. Do you have any pics of v1.0 so us newbies can get an idea of the style you're going for?
1 - What's the etiquette for going in other's houses?
Going in houses is fine just respect other people stuff like don't go in and trash places and such. If there is a chest that isn't locked in general I'd ask before taking anything.
2 - Am I allowed to take a bunch of farm produce, as long as I replant?
Look for signs most people are ok with it but just make sure first. I know for me personally I don't care who grabs my stuff as long as you put the seeds back down.
3 - Are there any restrictions on how far I'm allowed to explore and/or build away from spawn?
No not really but if you are unsure about an area just ask to see if anyone has that land claimed. Usually if someone has a section claimed you'll see torches everywhere in the area they have.
4 - Where can't I mine? I believe there's a mesa biome south of spawn that's off limits for example. Or is it a case of mine wherever you like underground? What about collecting dirt and sand?
I believe that mesa is off limits and obviously not mining in other people stuff unless asking first I would say.
5 - Is the donate button in the OP still the right one? I plan to donate anyway, after testing my connection a few times, but does donation grant anything extra?
Donating gives you the /back feature and a blue name and yes the button in the op is the right one.
6 - I plan to build a 50 block-high penis out of cobblestone at spawn. Is that cool?
I think we already have a dick somewhere so I would say no as then we would have too many dicks on the dance floor.
Everyone is really nice and laid back basically just don't act like an idiot and you'll be fine.

I'll post some in the morning for sure. The general theme is an Asian themed town with buildings that are closer together rather than spaced out.
My current plan (and what I'm most likely to go ahead with) is to have the castle grounds entrance be in the direction of the castle entrance itself. That way I can remove the ugly sandstone stairs and create a main road that leads all the way around the lake to the bridge location. I'll need to figure out where to put the train station & subsequent visitor centre to make sure people get the ground rules thrown in their face before they enter the town

Added you to the whitelist so you should be good to go now. Any problems then let us know.
Only 50 blocks high, come on man you aint trying hard enough. The testicles alone should be 50 blocks high that is the bare minimum we expect on Gafland

I'm shamed. I'll start working on something fitting right away. It may take a month to shear enough sheep just for the ejaculate alone.
Thanks for the white listing and thanks to those with answers.

I say do an inverted penis. Just dig it into the ground. You could live in it. Like a dwarf. With a mankini.
Or naked.
Or naked.
So after some deliberation and seeing Arkyoto in-the-making, I've decided I want to relocate my towers so a new undiscovered mountain somewhere out there in Gaf-Land.
It's really cool being able to look down from where I currently am and see the torches and buildings by people like Mack and Fuchsy (sp?), but I'm now very conscious of how close I am to several other people. This not only means that whatever I build they kinda have to look at even if it's not upto standards, but also I'm quite restricted in that I can't expand from the mountaintop once I'm done, and tbh I'm starting to figure out that if I'm building a castle I want to lay out the foundations of where everything will go before I start building upwards. This place has been a good learning experience both socially and architecturally, and I'm actually looking forward to finding a new area with (hopefully) untouched mountaintops, caves and dungeons I'd also be happy moving in with new neighbours, as long as there was adequate space for mountain conquering and mining.
TLDR; I'm relocating my towers from the mountaintop over Thorn's place.
However I have a few questions to help get me going;
1) What's the best tactic for finding a new big mountain? Should I just head out one direction away from spawn, and every night time just hunker down for the ~7mins in a cave until daylight?
2) Has anyone seen somewhere they reckon might be good for me to check out? Can anyone recommend any particular direction I look?
3) Once I've found the new spot I'd like to set up /home in one place and /back at my old mountaintop to make for quick deconstruction and shifting of tower blocks. To do this, would I need to ask someone to be at my old towers so I can telelport to them, and only then the /back function would work?
Sorry for the long post, thanks in advance for any advice
