This is actually backwards from how I normally progress. Typically, I mine a single tunnel the distance that four stacks of rails(three normal, one powered) will take me, then dig up and form a new base close by. Each base I give a number based on co-ord system(first base being 0-0, the one north f...

Just saying that right now it's not really a society that can police itself. It's anarchy. This statement bothers me but explaining why skirts the "No politics" rule. Lets just say that it's inaccurate to term a society that can't police itself an "anarchy" or to imply that anar...

All right. Sp4c3p1r4t3 was never supposed to be my online name. I never had any intent to play multiplayer, and when I found out my standard handle was taken, i just went with something I'd remember quickly. Now that I've kinda got an online persona and rep to maintain, I went ahead and got a new ac...

We're still sorting this anarchy thing out a bit. Here's the deal as I see it: with most vanilla MC servers using a host of block control options and the like, most griefers can't do much there. So they gravitate to anarchy servers because they can grief. Anarchy servers get a reputation for being a...

My grandfather informed me, on my day of majority, how he got out of jury duty for 50 years. He simply said "I am an engineer. I base my decisions on verifiable facts and place no weight on emotional appeal." Lawyers always kicked him.

Well, since I'm planning on being pretty above board anyway, I've been considering it.

Maybe when the new work situation settles down, I can get in on this.

I wish I really had time to commit to anarchy play, because I view it as my greatest challenge. Can I help build a functioning society without mods or moderators enforcing one from above?

One thing I learned playing with this is I can suspend string in midair with no support. Not FC's string, but Mojang's. It's kinda weird looking.

I love stakes on fenceposts. I get barbed wire for my cattle pens and clotheslines for my backyard.

To be fair you could have used rope like this already, so it's not THAT groundbreaking.

But the potential uses for horizontal string, aesthetically, have got my mouth watering.

Suspension Bridges you say?

Honestly I want to hang out on your front porch with you while you chain smoke and drink coffee. That sounds like a fun saturday night to me. But It's still only a close second to the desire to play DnD with you.

Huzzah!

Congratulations dude. Also you guys are super cute, it's adorable.

It will not be discarded later: It becomes the center of a 9x9 grid of maps next.

Incindentally, this means I carry one set of maps, and I have a second set back in the base in case I die in a fire.

Ok, so with the next release, f3 is gonna be nerfed. So we're going to need better ways of navigating, especially underground. A lot of people use the "right hand rule" to help there. This means you always put your torches on the right hand side as you go into a cave system, so that to get...

Hmmm.... I think there's another thread here somewhere.

I do this too! I also have a series of cave signs layed out in torches. Three torches in a vertical line means "this way leads back to the surface." Three torches in a horizontal line over an opening means "this leads to a much larger cave network." And I make arrows on the floor...

Friggin lucky. If you've got a few squares where things can spawn, then you'll mostly get spawns out in the large open fields and down in the caves. As you light up your world, though, those dark corners would start to be a lot more active.

Yes! I knew that word would catch on!

In certain games I feel they fit. I played a browser game for a few months that had special missions you could run on holidays that dropped special loot. The only way to get that loot was to play the holiday missions on that day. It was pretty cool and created reasons to play online together. For so...

Aha! The fact that this conflicts with Rei's Minimap is the hidden feature!

Seriously, I consider people using Minimap on an anarchy server to be a real problem, so the idea that they no longer work together pleases me.

I'm not sure I'd mess with spawn too much: we still don't know what hardcore spawning is going to look like. In fact, in general FC is on a fricken roll right now with drastic game-changing updates. Hardcore everything is going on right now, followed by the return to the return to home. It's probabl...

Thanks on the slime spawn thing, that was the next thing I was gonna test.

d: none of the above. Seriously. The easiest solution is also the only one that doesn't create starting imbalances in power. Absolutely nothing migrates. Look, lets say I'm a hardcore BTW player. That chest is gonna get stocked, if not with soulsteel, then with everything I need to make it. However ...

They are Hella enchantable: I just droped 6 levels into one and got aqua affinity 1, respiration 1, and projectile protection 2. This is in the world where I have an underwater base, too, which made me hella happy.
