Minecraft

Wow slack, that looks totally pro!

I heard that the 1.5 update will be this week. Achievements, stats, rain, lightning, snow ect.



Also heard they are adding owls and other birds soon which is awesome because the sky seems empty sometimes (water does too since there are only semi retarded squids). That mod with birds really added to the atmosphere more than I would have thought for such a simple thing. Just hearing the chirps in the morning and cawing at night made it more rich an experience.

Was literally in the middle of watching a Yogcast minecraft vid when pika in irc started talking minecraft too.  On impulse I went ahead and bought the damn game.   Got server info from pika, if that's ok.  Gonna look around and maybe find a nice quiet place to build my home.

Edit:
11 hours later...

I'm going to bed.   

Thanks Pika and zoolander for showing me around!

Starting the blueprint for my Little Akiba project !!

zero_atsuko is teh OSM for making a sweet rail connecting JPHiP land to my remote ass.

pika's secret massive mines are now open~!

travel in style on the crazy minecart dash through them, totally not copied from zero_atsuko's railway *cough cough*

the train service goes from Pikachu <=> Scotland

be careful not to get lost, and it's very possible to die, so careful~!
stay inside the minecart if you are worried about both of those.

(also the mines are under the sea, so please don't dig out!)

At least somebody helped ya out, unlike someone else who started a path but totally neglected it (totally not me). I just hope the never ending forest fire is out by now.

Also Scotland!? O_O I need to check that out.

[Kimuuu]

LOL z, it's the thought that counts.

Hey... just curious... mcrocks... who are youuuu? ^_^;

[Datalanche]

I've done small things compared to you guys(I'm more of a mine cool shit and give it to people who build cool shit kind of player ), but I should post and be proud of them anyway.


Here's my newly renovated house! Added fountains and the brick front recently. Thinking about removing the giant "Data" on top. It's lulzy, but kinda tacky. HAHA. I had to go out faaaaaaaaaaaar to find all that clay. You guys have totally raped all the non-renewable surface resources.



The sign welcoming you in with subliminal messaging.




And of course, it wouldn't be my place if it wasn't full of silly AKB references. Black fountain has to be dedicated to the obvious, the ONLY choice.



First thing that came to my mine with white.



Here's the SKE sign I built... twice. This version was slightly improved.




And finally, what a bunch of heroes we have right here.



I have an idea for a new sign project that I'm currently working on in Photoshop and my test site world. Stay tuned, more SKE love is coming.

[Kimuuu]

Nice, Data!  I saw the big ol DATA on your house, but I didn't get close enough to check out your fountains.  NICE!

Zero and I worked some more on the railways today.  I'm pleased to say that I just finished some work and Akihabara Station in Little Akiba is now functioning!  

Yesterday I made another station, which I envision to be a hub serving Lil Akiba, the Castle (I forgot, was it zoo's castle or Data's?) and JPHIPland.  It also is the site of a nice lookout point, if you go up the stairs.  From there you can also see Slack's epic work in progress.

The new station is unimaginatively named Lookout Point Station, since it's underneath the hill where Lookout Point is.  From there you can continue onto Little Akiba.  There are lines going to and from Akiba Station, so no worries of collisions. (Well, from incoming riders.  Animals are another story.  Remind me to make fences...) 

w00t. ok I need to go to sleep.  I feel like I'm not making any sense.   Just ride the rails and get around quicker!

I just gotta say, the railways are pretty awesome.

As for getting rid of the animals on the tracks, just make sure there's no grass in the tunnels.
(Animals only spawn on grass in the light.)

FINISHED



OMG THAT WAS A LOT OF WORK!

Looking forward to seeing it on an overhead map since the normal one doesn't seem to be working.
(hint hint, ebc)

Yeah, I learned that recently.  Gonna pave the floor inside the tunnels.  Then outside I'll put fences.

OMG TEH PORTRAIT IS DONE!!!  dude.  I don't even...  o_o 

* Kimuuu bows to Slack

^^ To do that by hand, let alone by block

Arrrrrggghhhhhh I've tried to resist, I really have, but it's time to install Minecraft on my new laptop

[Slack]

Ah, the map is back up.


Here's the plan I laid out, which is how it should look from a bird's eye view.


Hmmmm... it looks like the colors are a bit different than I thought.
Maybe I should replace the cobblestone with smooth stone!

[pikapikapika]

The ManoUFO is slowly creeping towards JPH!P city!!!!

[Hart]

I comfess that I too have bought the game.

Just spent the day working on my first shelter.



Still a work-in-progress. Already set up 2 floors and working my way with mining into that mountain.

Also....I really should start exploring. 

[ebc]

Nice base! I like these bases that make use of their natural surroundings.

[Slack]

As I thought, it looks better with smooth stone instead of cobblestone:
