I made my first rail today, connecting my Lake Fortress Mine to my Farm House up the hill.
I can never go back.

Chaaaarles, guess who wants back onto the whitelist! Why i4ani0813 of course!
I'm not going to be back on for a while. Stuff in life keeping me busy plus lack of motivation to build anything. So if anyone is interested in building in my area go ahead. I just request that you leave my built up areas/farms and definitely my chests alone. Anything around that though is free to build on 
Fixed. The sorter gets messed up when the chests become full, I think.
Hasn't been updated in a while. This is the most recent, but it's over a week old

whats with the giant ring around charlies place? has he finally gone insane and started constructing his own planet?
Probably nothing that can be done but....
I was branch mining tonight around 10pm pacific when the server resets. When I'm able to log back in I immediately die, like the moment I sign on, I'm dead. I use /back and a zombie has all my stuff, full diamond armor, diamond sword and continues to kill me as soon as I /back. So I /home, grab some armor and another iron sword to get my shit back. Suddenly the sever resets again and when I log back on the zombie and all my stuff is gone. GONE. hours and hours and hours of work enchanting just gone. I'm steaming mad right now because I took every precaution and it' was impossible for a single zombie to kill me. I had 3 diamond picks on me. 3! And they are just gone.
I doubt there is anything to be done about it but I just rage quit and needed to vent. So unbelievably frustrating.

I ran into this the other day as well. Zombie killed me in a corner, took my stuff, and no matter how many time I used /back, I kept dying and losing it. Lag wasn't helping either.
Charlie helped me out and I'm sure he can help you out too. He's a pretty cool guy on occasion.

Yeah nothing can be done about that I am afraid. As Motorbreathx said in these situations we can be a wee bit "creative". If you let us know what stuff you lost I can recreate it for you (including any enchantments you had).
Actually whilst I am here. Ark has asked me to trim Gafland, apparently our world is so AWESOME multiplay's servers can't handle it. I am doing a test trim today on a BACKUP map I have on my PC. The idea is to trim as much as possible away from the outer edge and keeping the central part untouched.
Now the IMPORTANT bit, does anyone have any builds far out on the world (say further than 2000 blocks from spawn) that they do not want to lose.

I'll be updating the map in a day or two. It has been too long, lol.
Server strain is going to be an issue for us until 1.8 hits. 1.8 does two things that will (should) greatly reduce the server load:
1. it threads the different worlds, so that the main overworld, nether, and end are all using separate cores to process. It supposedly does a LOT to lessen cpu load.
2. 1.8 fixes a few mob entity issues, pertaining to both chicken riders and unloaded chunks, that drastically reduce server memory usage.
Trimming the map for now will probably help somewhat, but I don't think it's going to get rid of the issue for us. It's a symptom of 1.7 from what I've read, and many 1.7 servers are experiencing the same things we are right now.
On a side note, I've not played any Minecraft at all this week. Dark Souls is to blame. My soul has turned dark. I'll be on this weekend, I need a break from dying repeatedly in horrific ways...I think I'll just branch mine and relax.

Damn, that sucks.
I left you a present on the upstairs balcony overlooking the station at your place.
Let me know when you have a world file and I'll do a block
Yeah if you can make a wider view than you did the last time, that'd be helpful. The rails are reaching the edge of the current map I have

You must have missed the link:

(187 megapixel, 26MB .png file)
Grabbed that one I believe. Outside of the spawn zone I started compressing the scale so that more remote places would fit in a smaller zone, but I'm still nearing the edge of where I have data.
Seems odd, isn't it much smaller than the previous server?
And two answers to your question would be yes - you and Ark

This is semantics, and nothing more
I've got a little log cabin at about X -2100, Z 479. I don't know if anyone is building further west than that point.
EDIT: Oh, I've also got a little outpost at X -2300, Z -79. If you're going to cut the map such that that would be lost, please let me know ahead of time so I can salvage the resources.
Here's my one month of progress on a home. Going to take a break for a while now, though I may come back once and a while to start a new build.

i have no idea how far out JP is, but obviously that build needs to stay, lol.

This is semantics, and nothing more
While exploring, I discovered that Bentles is building at around X -2470, Z -150. So, that probably needs to be included in the not-cut part of the map.
EDIT: Thinking about it, I think the Z must be more like 450 or, at least, +150. I was going to try to figure it out, but was murdered by a zombie despite the fact that I was running with full health. What's going on with the server lately?
SECOND EDIT: Yeah, the coordinates are definitely around Z 450. I'm not sure how I was so far off originally. Also, I was able to get all my stuff back once I could log back in.

If I can get rid of the lazy in my bones, I do believe a fortress of doom in a snowy tundra is in order.
I'm seeing if I can build an ice palace up north in a nice spike biome.
Spuit has claimed that spot with the workbench & sign; I will lay out more plots tonight
Thanks!
Here's a question those of you with more experience with resource packs might be able to answer:
did 1.7.4 change how glass works? In 1.7.2 my custom pack was working fine, and now everything seems to work fine... except for glass, which appears fine in the browser, and in hand, but turns to default glass when placed.

I think Optifine overrides the glass texture if you have that mod that makes multiple glass blocks/panes placed next to each other seamless. At least, I noticed it overrode my choice of glass from the Painterly Pack, in the past...
Ach, didnt even think about conflicts with Optifine, since the source pack I've derived my pack from had a thing for it. I'll hafta' play around with it.
I don't know how this all works but would switching over to the latest snapshot help with the server resets? With all the cutting off land-size and increased RAM the wait to 1.8 might get tiring for some. Would getting in on the latest snapshot be helpful? Does multiverse support the latest snapshot or are we just at their whim and things will get better when they decide they will get better?

Unfortunately we can't switch to later versions of minecraft till the mod Bukkit gets updated to those versions. The Bukkit mod gives us several features that are essential to the server (such as no creeper damage). We are at the whim of the mod developers who are in turn at the whim of Mojang. So we are stuck with 1.7.2 till the foreseeable future.
The Gafland Trim will now no longer happen. Ark doesn't like the idea of sullying the world with Chunk errors all over the place. I am a happy bunny because it means I don't have to spend hours in MCedit.
We just have to make do with what we have. I personally believe the server problems are with multiplay and bugs in the beta of Bukkit.

Stuff:
- /nick command now works for donators.
- In addition to not being able to place TNT, Citizens should no longer be able to ignite it.
- Droppers no longer place TNT.
- Endermen griefing is off, I think.
- Spiffy new command, /tpahere.
- Server mail is available if anyone cares to use it.
- It's past my bedtime.
- Visitors are now mobile. They can interact with doors, levers, plates, buttons, gates, trap doors, and even minecarts.
If there are any permissions seemingly broken, let me know.

Should we at least have a restriction of people wandering far from spawn to unexplored areas?

Oh, I think I know exactly where that is. Is it the one north of spawn I was considering at one point? That would make a good potential spot for something as long as folks don't destroy all the spikes.

pretty much directly north - about 1200. Hopefully people won't destroy any spikes that look castley
Has anyone played with using snow layers to smooth out landscape? Do they stay where you put them, or do they despawn/melt/freeze over?

Layers don't despawn if you place them, but I haven't played around with them and light sources much.

Hey folks,
Tomorrow morning around 9:30 AST I'll the server offline for about an hour to perform some maintenance. For any of you morning players I suggest your new found free time to go for a walk, read a book, catch up on your chores, have sex, or what ever strikes your fancy.

Light sources will melt snow layers. I'm using the, in my current build and between hiding the lighting and not getting the snow to melt, it's been quite the challenge.
