Bellingcraft!

[dire mirage]

Damn

I tunneled out of the ravine canal

level

and i hit the underground weeb caves

@raw gale @short lynx

The map is h o l l o w

[short lynx]

Yeah, the underground of spawn island is a massive cave system

It's not fully explored even

When I thought I was almost done exploring, I hit a new cavern that had a mineshaft through it

[vocal ember]

Might put some signage saying where to head back?

Willing to mass make some signs

[dire mirage]

lol

do

[vocal ember]

aight BET

[dire mirage]

Another tunnel drop

[dire mirage]

alternate path that connects to the glass bridge

The map is not hollow enough

[vocal ember]

Should have plenty of signs for you all, where do we put it?

[dire mirage]

place them around the map

[vocal ember]

Aight bet

[vocal ember]

Alright, placed em at spawn

[dire mirage]

In case anyone needs signs

@vocal ember and I got you covered

(They are now in a chest by the dye machine, dw)

[vocal ember]

Ok

[dire mirage]

Radio tower.

[vocal ember]

Well, time to fuckin climb it lol

[dire mirage]

lol theres a ladder inside it

[vocal ember]

UwU

Hell yea

[dire mirage]

New project

[vocal ember]

And time to AFK this shulker farm

[vocal ember]

Yeah

[dire mirage]

Southern half done

45 maps left to do

[plush forge]

productive are we?

[dire mirage]

lol yes

The grand opening

@vocal ember @quiet plover

[plush forge]

nicw

[vocal ember]

UwU

Time to make a house like 3k blocks away lmao

[dire mirage]

Don't you dare

Old map wall has been destroyed

[vocal ember]

Rip old map wall

[vocal ember]

Ummmm people got a hypothetical

How long does it take to fly 42,120 blocks in the overworld in an elytra?

I may have done a thing

[short lynx]

Uuuh, what?

[vocal ember]

😄

[vocal ember]

It’s a hypothetical, don’t worry

[short lynx]

This is not our server.... Right?

[vocal ember]

Gimme a sec

[short lynx]

.... I'm scared

Ok

I see some kind of island in the map

... How?

[dire mirage]

lol

[dire mirage]

It is ours lol

[short lynx]

If you're going to do that kind of stuff, I'm going to start asking people to chip in for the server because we're going to need to upgrade it

[dire mirage]

see the small dot at the bottom

[short lynx]

I know, that's what I was referring to after the "Ok"

[vocal ember]

Alright, how so?

[dire mirage]

TP him back

The more map that is generated the more data

[short lynx]

I'm afk, so I can't tp them back

[vocal ember]

Lemme collect my shulkers first before the tp

[dire mirage]

Did you get spawned there

[vocal ember]

Nether

[dire mirage]

ah

[vocal ember]

Roof portal then turn south

[short lynx]

Yeah, we are going to need a lot more space for the server if we generate that data

Think that I also need to store backups

[vocal ember]

Ready to be TP back

[dire mirage]

Can you ungenerate?

[vocal ember]

Oh wait you said you’re afk?

[short lynx]

Let me see if I can do this from the terminal because I'm on my phone

[dire mirage]

and maybe put limits on map?

even the map we made is about the size of land that we will conceivably ever develop

[vocal ember]

There’s only a village and immediate surroundings that got generated down here

[short lynx]

It's possible but still

[vocal ember]

Even then might be worth it to tp and ungenerate

[short lynx]

I want to use this finding to create the PvP area

[short lynx]

Ok, let me first try to send you back to spawn

[dire mirage]

The map is a ridiculous amount of land

[vocal ember]

Ok

Beam me up Scotty

[dire mirage]

The only two things not on it

Are JKs mob farm

And DaKinks some sort of farm

[vocal ember]

K I’m back

[short lynx]

That should have worked

[short lynx]

Oh, you didn't center it around spawn island?

[vocal ember]

Moved around a bit

[vocal ember]

It did, just moved a tad

[dire mirage]

yea it is

[plush forge]

stack and a half of rockets, ~ 40 minutes?

[dire mirage]

its centred on spawn island

the issue is the map squares are off centre

[plush forge]

would be willing to do that anyway

[dire mirage]

the centre of the map is your house

[dire mirage]

same

[vocal ember]

Isn’t there a way to adjust the size of the world border using commands?

[dire mirage]

By default i think it infinitely generates

[vocal ember]

Putting a hard limit on world size should limit the data generated with exploration

[plush forge]

default is 30 million I think, but yes world border can be set

[vocal ember]

That’s that I’m referring to

[plush forge]

but storage with minecraft grows quick

[vocal ember]

Maybe see world border to like 2k blocks from spawn? Should link things a bunch

[plush forge]

2k? That's a bit steep

[vocal ember]

Throwing an idea out here to see if the general vibe can be agreed upon

[plush forge]

my slime / witch farm is 4K blocks out I think

[vocal ember]

Hmmmm

[plush forge]

2k is an option, but it's a lot less than you think at first :)

[vocal ember]

Everyone can agree on the world border option being a good idea?

[dire mirage]

I think what's been generated already is more than enough

don't go outside it basically

[vocal ember]

Alright

[plush forge]

i'm all for making it smaller / more manageable

but a 2k border would cut off what's been discovered by about 1000 blocks

[vocal ember]

Likewise

[vocal ember]

4.5K world border from spawn as a hard limit?

[dire mirage]

The centre of the map is Erre's base

its at X = 8

[plush forge]

even 10K is probably manageable in terms of storage size. Kinda depends on the backups / storage available

[dire mirage]

dakinks far west farm thing

[plush forge]

map at 10K would be ~20GB

[dire mirage]

is x =-1088

[vocal ember]

Personally all for the world border being adjusted, just idk the specifics

[dire mirage]

and jk's mob farm far east that you get to through the portal

is 800

[plush forge]

my swamp far is at -4K -3K ish

and I wanted to go a bit more west for ice

although I could do that somewhere high up I guess

[vocal ember]

Sooo, world border at somewhere between 5-10k from the centerpoint of the map?

[plush forge]

that's probably fine.

[short lynx]

What consumes the most space is not the map itself but the online map

[plush forge]

oh right

[vocal ember]

Oh

[short lynx]

And then multiply that multiple times for backups

[plush forge]

is that specific for bluemaps? With the 3d rendering etc

[dire mirage]

ah, so every time we hit update map

it generates a new one?

on blue map

[plush forge]

I think most maps would be 2d rendered, but bluemaps is 3d rendered

so a lot of extra data

[short lynx]

Right now we're using 50 GB and we have 80gb available

I did exclude the online map from backups tho, since that can always be regenerated

So I checked an estimate and a 42k radius map would be above 300gb

So we would need about 3tb of storage

To include backups and bluemap

That would be about 50€ more per month

Which right now I can't afford lol

[dire mirage]

Let’s not expand the map

[short lynx]

It's not much but if we paid for it among others

[dire mirage]

How much are you spending atm

[short lynx]

15€

[dire mirage]

I don’t think we should generate any more map

[short lynx]

Which is quite good

[dire mirage]

And for that 15 euros

I would like to contribute towards it

[short lynx]

Just PayPal me

I'll give you a link later

[dire mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/kelly-crying-killing-me-gif-14098272953475409173

What is this, mid 2000s eBay?

😏

[short lynx]

I'm happy to learn what the cool kids use now lol

[dire mirage]

Lol

[short lynx]

In any case, hopefully one day I can afford spending that and more so things like this are just to be laughed at, but that day has not yet come 😅

[dire mirage]

Lol

Is it possible to lock any further generation

Even getting to the edge of the map is ridiculously far

And beyond ugly farms we don’t want near spawn

I don’t think anything should be build that isn’t connected by a path

[short lynx]

Yes, but I don't want to, as I said we have some space for generation available

Ah, also I misread things, with 16€/m we would have 6TB of data available

But that requires some setup too, and I'm not going to pay for that now lol

[dire mirage]

So one extra euro

[short lynx]

No

Total would be 31€/m

[dire mirage]

Ah I can’t read either

[short lynx]

If people chip in, we can do that easy

[dire mirage]

We should certainly split it anyways

[short lynx]

But that's all down to people contributing, and honestly there's no urgency, I'd rather only resort to that when we have to rather than now, send your donations to bcat and other proper charities lol

[dire mirage]

Nah

I think if we’re gonna play on the server it’s only fair

[short lynx]

Yeah, I'm talking about expanding the server infrastructure

If you want to contribute to what's now I won't say no lol

[dire mirage]

The thing about expanding is

We need to fill out the map

Bolsonaro island is only half full

By zigg and Baikonur’s crib

[raw gale]

Just move stuff to a volume and then you can scale on demand.

Resizing volumes is easy

[short lynx]

Yeah

It's just the value that the pricelist gives

[dire mirage]

We need to develop all the way around the lake anyways

Before we need to expand

[raw gale]

IMO the easiest approach would be to just move the BlueMap stuff to a volume first.

[dire mirage]

now that we have my map™️

do we even need bluemap

[short lynx]

Yes

[dire mirage]

[short lynx]

Your map is nice but it doesn't provide the same functionality

[dire mirage]

[short lynx]

It doesn't update automatically, it doesn't show players, it doesn't include the other dimensions

Aaaaand, this is a small one, but I can only access your map while I'm playing

[dire mirage]

[short lynx]

Also no 3D views, bluemap has 3 options of viewing (full 2D, perspective and spectator mode like)

I do like your map tho!

[dire mirage]

I'll make your legs not provide the same functionality if you keep insulting my map

but hmm

is it possible to have a map

mod*

that makes the map show other players?

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Map#Map_icons

Could we start bannering locations?

[plush forge]

banners will work on regular maps so yeah sure

[raw gale]

I always felt like BlueMap was a bit cheaty.

[dire mirage]

oh shit

oh shit

@short lynx

the map

got creeperd

someone get on now

@raw gale

[plush forge]

Tip from Flip: Use light blocks under your maps

[dire mirage]

hjalp

[raw gale]

Not available right now.

[dire mirage]

[raw gale]

Just be careful with creepers next time.

You keep charging them and then being surprised when they explode

[dire mirage]

i went afk to chat here

it was at night

[raw gale]

Well, there's your problem!

[dire mirage]

now all the maps despawned

[raw gale]

Good

That makes the rollback cleaner

[dire mirage]

please fix

[raw gale]

Later

[short lynx]

I issued a command from the terminal but idk if it worked

[dire mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-harvey-thank-you-jesus-grateful-praise-gif-9591328

[short lynx]

Cool (:

[plush forge]

now but some glowlights under it all :)

and light up the ground around it ;)

[dire mirage]

will do

lit up around it anyways

[vocal ember]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UUEaCpTUSc

[plush forge]

I'm game

[dire mirage]

Not to be nosy

but why do you have underground caves where the floor is all buttons

[short lynx]

To prevent spawning

[dire mirage]

ah

[dire mirage]

could you not just light it up?

[plush forge]

Golems don't care about light level, so I need something else. Buttons, plates, redstone, slabs

[plush forge]

but seeing as there's endermen teleporting in continously I might need to switch it up to slabs anyway

those beds to the left have villagers and a zombie, and that spawns golems. But golems spawn in a 10 x 10 x 7 range and I didn't feel like filling up the entire cave :)

[quiet plover]

I discovered a golem spawn pit yesterday. the horror..

[vocal ember]

Welcome come to bellingcraft

[quiet plover]

I was so worried I was going to break something or a creeper would pop around a corner, and then three of the dudes spawn and start CLOMP burning

just admiring the nice area and then !

[vocal ember]

Besides that, have you visited the tater house? Lol

Sorry for the shenanigans

[plush forge]

Sounds familiar

[vocal ember]

[dire mirage]

What to build

What to build

[vocal ember]

A tower from bedrock to build limit?

[dire mirage]

ive already built my radio tower

[vocal ember]

From bedrock to build limit

Far taller then your tower

[dire mirage]

So I dig a hole a couple hundred blocks down?

I suppose we could drain the chunk we dug

[vocal ember]

Actually that might work

Just need hella sand…

Or something easily breakable

[short lynx]

I need more concrete. Lots more 😄

[dire mirage]

Concrete hoarder

[short lynx]

Other than that, time to build the Andromeda next to the NS pipeline

[dire mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/we-need-to-build-a-gian-wall-all-around-this-place-giant-wall-barrier-restrictions-guarding-gif-15061905

Build the wall and make Erredece’s concrete pay for it.

https://tenor.com/view/animaniacs-the-brain-were-taking-over-the-world-taking-over-the-world-world-domination-gif-24435867

[dire mirage]

But yes

I’d love to have my base be a scale model of a ship.

[short lynx]

You know I'd also like to build an aircraft carrier at some point

[dire mirage]

Only issue is if we have enough space in the spawn lake

The Lake is big but it’s full of islands

[short lynx]

Nah, that should go into another ocean

[dire mirage]

I mean Andromeda too

[short lynx]

Andromeda fits, but after that I think we're done with building at the ocean

[dire mirage]

Or Minerva Julie

I think Minerva Julie would be funnier

Because it clearly wasn’t involved

[plush forge]

Could see about a concrete blaster soon ish.

[vocal ember]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8tUFaSZ4b7I

[plush forge]

What are the two shulkers of shells empty?

[dire mirage]

hmm?

[plush forge]

I put some shulker shells next to the enchanting nook

Well, two shulkers of shells :)

[raw gale]

Still well-filled

[short lynx]

I set up a small concrete maker and it works quite well, it's just down to getting the materials

[plush forge]

Yeah. We talked about duping. Can't remember what came out. Sand isn't renewable yet, gravel is

[plush forge]

could set up a small sand duper at a different portal

[short lynx]

How do you dupe gravel?

Or what do we have as a source of gravel?

[plush forge]

graver can be duped but it's a drop from piglin bartering

at least it was.

which is one of the reasons I lost my gear a couple of times in the nether, gathering magma blocks :)

can't wait till 1.21 is out and the autocrafter becomes a thing

so much easier with the gold farm :)

[short lynx]

Yup! Really looking forward to it

[plush forge]

@short lynx if you have time to give your paypal, I just ended up ~5300 blocks from spawn so i'm responsible for the bloat I guess ;)

[short lynx]

Oh? 😄

[plush forge]

something something nether skeleton farm...

the one I had my eyes on would have put me ~18K out. This takes a little more spawn proofing

but it's relatively close in the box for where the slime is.

[raw gale]

Is being far away really problematic? That shouldn't really generate more chunks, should it?

[plush forge]

in this case not as much i think. But it was not generated yet

so it'll be ~81 chunks extra. Until rob flew over to look at my little platform to grab the dogs.

the bigger issue is probably going through the nether and then flying back in the overworld generating all that terrain as well

but all in all it adds up :)

[vocal ember]

The wolf was in a chunk already loaded so there’s not too much worry

[plush forge]

was not the wolf I was worried about ;)

[vocal ember]

Then what were you worried about?

[plush forge]

I'm not worried, but we agreed on trying not to expand the map beyond what it is atm

which I did

[plush forge]

It's official, Merry christmas peeps :)

[vocal ember]

Expanded the tater farm 😄

If our math is correct, the farm should have 906 blocks of farmable space 😄

Actually 905, forgot a block

The hard part: getting enough taters to make use of the ~905 blocks

[short lynx]

Btw, I'm away for the next 6 days (or well, technically 7 because of NYE commitments too). I'm still reachable and if an emergency were to happen, I have terminal access. Just that maybe things will take a bit of time for me to sort them out if it were to happen something

In the meantime, I believe JK is able to help out with plenty of stuff

[plush forge]

No worries at all. Have a good week and we'll see you next year then ;)

[vocal ember]

Likewise!

[vocal ember]

Due to recent developments within the Minecraft server, we can finally put the shulkers to good use 😄

[plush forge]

:)

Anything we need?

[vocal ember]

f o o d

[plush forge]

Nah, we good on food

[vocal ember]

lol

[plush forge]

Well, I'm pretty set at least :)

[vocal ember]

Restaurant was built at spawn so that’ll need to be stocked

[plush forge]

Even for vegetarian options

Oh nice

I'll have a look what I can contribute

[vocal ember]

Got the taters covered so no need to worry about that

Besides that, have fun

[plush forge]

I'm sure I have meats, carrots and beets

And bread

[raw gale]

Feel free to label one of the free dispensers

[vocal ember]

Yep!

[plush forge]

Let me not die to starvation and I'll have a look in a bit ;)

Should have a stack of wither skulls by now :)

[dire mirage]

@vocal ember Did you see your Tater Todds store?

[vocal ember]

Already got a DM from JK telling us about the store 😄

The farm boutta be put to GOOD use! Just need to get home first

[dire mirage]

lol

[plush forge]

I've taken the liberty to fill it in a bit on the inside...

put in some lighting, upgraded the kitchen lighting to some nice Fluorescent bars

and some furniture

[vocal ember]

Wassup with the numbers on the blocks?

[plush forge]

light levels

easier to check spots where a surprise creeper could spawn and blow up Tater Todds

[raw gale]

Very nice!

[plush forge]

it blocks a lot of the bright blue :)

[vocal ember]

Well damn you put that much damn care into Tater Todds?!

[plush forge]

no, my own stuff :)

but it was on. I know there werent' any light level 0 spaces, but uneven lighting is annoying as well :)

[vocal ember]

Even then lol

[raw gale]

I thought erratic light levels fit into the design scheme

[plush forge]

could remove all lights aside what's from in the center and you'd be alright still

[vocal ember]

Added some cooked potatoes into the dropper, and tested it too

[quiet plover]

wanting french fries bc of a minecraft restaurant called tater todds 😄

[vocal ember]

There’s already cooked testers

[short lynx]

Oh, it's finally updated for 1.2.0.2?

[plush forge]

Minihud? Been for ages :)

[short lynx]

I switched to another one that does the job anyway, just colouring for whether it spawns (and if anytime or at night) or not, which is all I need tbh

[plush forge]

yeah, I use minihud for a couple different things so it's nice having one properly made mod to do these things

but it can do the crosses as well I think, but some farms are picky about only 7+ etc

it also does bounding boxes for structures which can be nice for skyblock for instance.

[shell mortar]

railway in progress

[short lynx]

Ugh, when did they release 1.20.4?

Ah, at least paper is updated, so I'll probably work this on the 1st or the 2nd Jan

[plush forge]

recently yes

hm, I need a better sorter for the wither skeleton farm :|

the spawnproofing has taken it over the edge

If anyone needs a beacon... We have skulls...

[shell mortar]

we might need to start clearing out the loot chests at the xp farm

[plush forge]

alright, i'll see if I can make some shulker loaders

you talked me into it

[quiet plover]

almost died to the puff 😄

[plush forge]

lol

that is one fugly contraption...

[dire mirage]

New island

With help from JK.

[plush forge]

Poldering intensifies

[plush forge]

lovely place for a nice fortress

[dire mirage]

@raw gale be like: "tis but a scratch"

[raw gale]

Just a minor inconvenience

[short lynx]

Idk man, there's an arrow to the knee

[vocal ember]

Ok so we doing the math of the tater farm

2 floors of 905 blocks of tater growing ability

If the math is mathing, there’s gonna be anywhere between 3,620 to 9,050 potatoes, assuming zero poisonous potatoes

Per harvest

Goddamnit, may or may not need an automated system of cooking them taters

A single double chest can hold ~3450 items

Godspeed, lads, for the Minecraft server shall never grow hungry

………i may or may not be going too deep into this

[dire mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/taters-tatersgonnatate-gif-5684998

[dire mirage]

You need to devise an automated harvester

[raw gale]

Piston and water

[dire mirage]

Ye.

and hopper

[vocal ember]

Actually

CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY FOOD

[quiet plover]

I say keep going 😄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qjnDd1rsII

[vocal ember]

AIGHT B E T

[plush forge]

Villagers. They'll harvest them, not be able to pick them up. Then Hopper minecart below it to pick up. Deliver into smelter array and onto the shulker loader

Can do that with carrots, potatoes, wheat, beetroots I think

Downside of water is that you replant manually

[raw gale]

We may or may not have named the camel Sir Humphry Davy.

[scarlet dome]

could've also been Sir Humphrey Appleby

[fathom fulcrum]

Awaiting a Jim Hacker soon.

[short lynx]

I think they can be bred using melons, problem is only one spawns per village (and if it dies, it's gone)

[quiet plover]

if camels dies, its gone.
...what if village dies? 🤔
can rebuild those ez

[shell mortar]

since when were camels in minecraft?

[vocal ember]

And where did yall get one….????

[plush forge]

1.20. They come with desert villages. And if you feed them cactus they can make babies

[shell mortar]

oh, thats pretty cool!

[plush forge]

you would need two though ;)

[fathom fulcrum]

Will any two do? 😉

[plush forge]

eh jup

as long as they arent babies

minecraft doesn't care about inbreeding etc.

[vocal ember]

thinking of updating the house. Any ideas?

[raw gale]

Build a giant replica of a furnace next to it. At scale.

[short lynx]

Replace the walls of the retaurant please

[scarlet dome]

I don't think you're allowed to call it that

[short lynx]

It's nice in the inside

But the walls are, ugh, let's say I have not made peace with its aesthetics

[plush forge]

if mcdonalds can be called a restaurant, then so can this ;)

But yeah, some detailing on the outside with fenceposts / trapdoors to break up the huge squares could be a good idea

the inside could use a little colour as well tbh, replace some of the chairs with the red wood type for instance

[short lynx]

And align that roof, please, or I'll do it myself

[raw gale]

It's perfect the way it is

[vocal ember]

Nope 😄

It’s perfect

[vocal ember]

Agreed

The aesthetics is amazing of Tater Todd’s

[raw gale]

I call the style "McDonald's if it was a Mexican-themed family restaurant viewed through drawings of the nightmares of a particularly artistically challenged child".

[vocal ember]

Lmao

[raw gale]

I would be okay if the roof was more aligned though.

[vocal ember]

But the aesthetic stays

[raw gale]

aesthetic

[vocal ember]

Not gonna edit that at this point lol

[raw gale]

Oh, it's correct. I just disagree with using that term to describe Tater Todd's

[vocal ember]

Tater Todd’s has a theme that we LOVE. idk about the rest of the server lol

[raw gale]

That's what I designed it for

[dire mirage]

I wanted to make it centered

You overruled me

[raw gale]

Yeah

I underestimated the cumulative derangedness.

[dire mirage]

Lol

If your potato complex is finished, why not move onto a new project.

That’s why I’m building the island thing.

@vocal ember

My townhouse thing is nice and finished, the area around it is now all built up so I can’t build any direction

And underground the map is a maze of stuff so I can’t build down either.

There’s a couple large unclaimed areas that definitely fit in a bit of development if you wanted to.

Or to zoom out a bit

Missed it but even to the west of the villager village directly north of spawn, could build a castle or something and use the generated village as part of it

[raw gale]

Please build the giant furnace

I'm willing to help with that

https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/k7affx/this_big_furnace_i_made_recently/

Like this

[vocal ember]

Aight bet

[dire mirage]

@raw gale's furnace idea is good

id not put it near the potato tho

[raw gale]

Put it next to the potato

[dire mirage]

build it elsewhere giving you two "houses"

[raw gale]

And then build a giant furnace farm inside

[dire mirage]

whats a furnace farm

[raw gale]

Because the taters must be baked

[dire mirage]

does it craft furnaces

[raw gale]

I just mean a lot of furnaces

Minecraft textures are 16x16 per side, so the size of the giant furnace has to be a multiple of this, I think.

[vocal ember]

Ok how about this

Move the Tater house somewhere else

And make the farms BIGGER

[raw gale]

You can always build the farms up

[vocal ember]

Ok fair lol

[raw gale]

The tater stays

[vocal ember]

Then us 5 need to get a bigger house then lol

[raw gale]

Put the furnace here

[vocal ember]

Ok fair

Need the tater cooking ability anyway lol

[dire mirage]

Potato

Are you aware

That behind your farm

As your looking at it from your house

That there’s a massive cave

That connects all the way to weeb

You’ve to swim for part of it

But there’s a massive underground complex

[vocal ember]

Yea we know. Spawn is HOLLOW but at the same time fuck exploring all that lmao

[dire mirage]

lol

my pov

would be to build it on the western side of potato

obviously don't be too close to dan's ofc, and leave a bit of forest in between

but it would connect your potato and stuff to the spawn island a bit more

rather than being built off in the relative distance

and then on the eastern side

we could at some point build another monolith kinda building

or even a playing field

Because of the big swamp which would be a pain to expand the land into, the building area to the east is relatively thin, and if you dont want buildings to be too close to each other, there's probably only a space for two medium sized buildings to the east before everything gets a bit uncomfortably close

[vocal ember]

Maybe build a bigger house up here?

Well, a proper house instead of the tater house

[dire mirage]

yes

that entire area is completely open

maybe not so close to the canal to give your building and the statue a bit of room to stand on their own

but there you've practically unlimited space

only downside is its a bit remote

slightly closer to spawn is this

the nw side of bolsonaro island

also its near where your memorial is lol

need to do a bit of terraforming to get rid of the volcanic hole or that really deep hole

but there you've practically unlimited space too

and if you ever did run out of space

bridge north to this

and again you have definitely unlimited space

also west for that matter

eventually connecting to the village

[vocal ember]

It’s ok if things are a tad isolated

[dire mirage]

worth filling in bolsonaro tho

just my pov tho

[vocal ember]

Bolsonaro?

[raw gale]

Because it got deforested for questionable reasons.

[vocal ember]

Ohhh

[dire mirage]

Not just deforested

[dire mirage]

We used fire

https://tenor.com/view/look-we-gotta-save-the-rainforests-conservation-recycle-save-the-rainforest-gif-16706977

But yea, consider putting your house there

Potato farm and a furnace would look nice together

But if you want a PotatoMan House

That isn’t just a stylised potato

That would be a nice spot

[vocal ember]

Aight bet

[shell mortar]

has anyone found an ancient city?

trying to get the silence armour trim

[plush forge]

northeast is one I think

1500 / -1000 ish

[shell mortar]

found it on bluemap

thank you!

[plush forge]

I'm not sure if I found different ones yet but stony peaks are usually a good place to look

there's some at -2300 1500 ish as well

[short lynx]

There's one close to a portal that JK built

[shell mortar]

ahhhhhhhhhhh

@raw gale I died

might leave that and hope that the chunks arent loaded

cause its absolutely terrifying

[vocal ember]

Ok what did it look like?

[shell mortar]

dark and spooky

the monster thing killed me through a wall with its ranged attack

2 hit me with all my armour on

and it blinds you so the only way to escape is to either fly away into a wall, or hide and sneak

which I only tried at the last minute when it already knew where I was...

but yeah. as soon as I entered, it became a horror game

[raw gale]

The ranged attack ignores armour

[shell mortar]

probably should have looked at the wiki before going in there tbh

[raw gale]

I told you to run

[shell mortar]

lmao

[plush forge]

hehe, wardens are pretty scary yes

lots of health and that sonic attack is a doozy

but a noteblock and a couple of observers can trick them away

[vocal ember]

Anyone have a spare name tag? Wanna name my wolf

[scarlet dome]

my chest by the door might have a couple, go take a look, you can take one if there's any

[raw gale]

Just buy some

[vocal ember]

Where’s the chest?

[scarlet dome]

by the door on the right

[vocal ember]

Ohhhh ok

[vocal ember]

Cool, thank you so much!

[plush forge]

Yeah, in the tools chest in storage. Otherwise all villager librarians trade them for emeralds

[vocal ember]

Sweet bet

[vocal ember]

Gonna name the wolf “Alexander” because the wolves resemble one of my headmates 😄

[raw gale]

That's disappointing

I was hoping for "Wolf 1"

[short lynx]

Not as disappointing as Wolfgang... wait a second

[plush forge]

Wolf 1,2 and 4 :)

[vocal ember]

lol oof

[raw gale]

The Wolfgang is a group of wolves, obviously.

[vocal ember]

Are there glass in the storage?

[raw gale]

How much do you need?

[vocal ember]

No more than 20?

Actually might be easier if we snag some sand and make our own

[dire mirage]

Wolfpack

[quiet plover]

calling in a hit

[plush forge]

yeah, got some stacks. Also villager librarians ;)

[vocal ember]

Ended up making our own

[plush forge]

something borked?

getting chat validation errors again :)

[scarlet dome]

Better validate your chat

[short lynx]

Hello friends, after some discussion I did some permission changes that are now available to all users

Now every person has the following available commands:

• \sethome sets the current location as your home. Note this is separate from your respawn point.
• \home teleports you to such home.
• \delhome deletes the location you have stored as home (no need to do that if you want a new home, it's in case you don't want to have a home).
• \spawn teleports you to the world's spawn
• \back sends you back to the location you previously teleported to (or the safest spot if that spot is not safe, like lava). This also allows you to teleport back to the place you died at.

I'll try to find a time to update to 1.20.4, just a lot of stuff to do these days, so for now I'm focused on small things like this one that takes me longer to write about than to do lol.

Anyway, enjoy

[vocal ember]

UwU

Hell yea!

[raw gale]

You could abuse this to deliver taters faster

/spawn and /home 🫣

[vocal ember]

Can there be multiple /sethome ? Need to speedrun the tater deliveries, and have a point for the actual home

[raw gale]

Nope

[short lynx]

No multiple homes

[vocal ember]

Rip

[short lynx]

You can just travel to that spot, and then /home and then /back

[vocal ember]

Actually

Yknow what

You right

[raw gale]

It's mainly for accidental deaths

So you can get back to your stuff quickly.

Or don't have to dig out from -30 when you got lost in a cave.

[vocal ember]

lol fair

And hell yea, can finally any% the tater delivery

[dire mirage]

We should say

Probably worth not abusing it.

If you’re legitimately lost fair.

But let’s try to play the game fair in terms of not just using it to teleport.

JK and Erre can see the log of you doing it 🤓

[vocal ember]

Literally got permission to any% the tater deliveries lol

[dire mirage]

JK you undermine me!

I’ve been hollowed out.

[vocal ember]

lol

[dire mirage]

For what it’s worth

The primary cause is me dying so much

I primarily just wanted the /back function

[vocal ember]

Holy shit /spawn works

Thank you so much 😄 @short lynx

[vocal ember]

built the proper house, instead of the tater one

[short lynx]

Hey, so the server is currently down due to some issue with the provider. I'm working on it to restore it asap

[plush forge]

Alrighty

Was planning on FF7 tonight anyway :)

[short lynx]

Ok, it's up an running again

Apparently an invoice didn't go through for some reason so they shut it down

[plush forge]

Hehe so PayPal? ;)

[short lynx]

Yeah, I'll set up that at some point, but it was an issue on the payment not being automated as I believed it was

[raw gale]

Weird, their cloud offering should have automated payments. It's only their "conventional" offerings that don't have automated payments.

DM me if you want to look into that

[short lynx]

It failed for some reason, but it should be sorted out for now

[vocal ember]

Shitty ping go brrrrr

Usually it’s low double digits AT MOST

[shell mortar]

yeah, I’ve had that before

it kinda sucks but as long as you aren’t trying to do stuff with other people, it isn’t too noticeable

[plush forge]

aside from the ghost blocks

[vocal ember]

so ummmm, may have done a thing again :/

using enderpearls is fun 😄

[dire mirage]

Dead?

[vocal ember]

Nope, was just stuck

Got out tho

[dire mirage]

lol

Fair

[plush forge]

what's with the giant djembe? :)

[raw gale]

It's a giant @simple mountain statue

[short lynx]

That's what I asked you for the gravel

[plush forge]

Hehehe alright alright.. turtles are hatching so I should have enough eggs shortly. Then just another half shulker of magma blocks and a bunch of glass and we should be good

[plush forge]

@short lynx my chat is broken it seems :)

getting public key errors

[short lynx]

I feared that

Let me look into it

[plush forge]

could be just my client, it's not the same as previous times

[short lynx]

On my side it only shows disconnect, just like last time, but I see it's working now

[plush forge]

jup, client had a snafu

[short lynx]

Was it ATLauncher?

[plush forge]

jup

[plush forge]

K, magma things are done for gold farm. Just need the killing chamber and sorting and some spawn proofing

[short lynx]

Server just restarted, strangely due to too much RAM usage

Must have been some memory leak

@raw gale @vocal ember

[raw gale]

Already back in

[short lynx]

Yeah, it loads fast

Just wanted to inform about it

[vocal ember]

So that map works on the Pi4 but holy hell the lag from the machine

[short lynx]

Yeah, it's a big map, so I'm not surprised a pi4 struggles to run it

[scarlet dome]

the writing speed for sd card is sort of a bottleneck for a minecraft server on pi4

[plush forge]

o_O

yeah no shit :)

usb at least :)

[short lynx]

@plush forge Seems I'm kicking you out of the game with the chat again 😅

[plush forge]

nah

same issue as last time, some session expiration

[vocal ember]

Raspberry Pi 4 screaming at us to stop over merely having the map open lol

[raw gale]

Wait, you're playing the actual game on the Pi?

You were supposed to host a server on it

[vocal ember]

May or may not do some other stuff on the Pi4 tho lol

[scarlet dome]

do you have a some kind of harddrive on that rpi, or are you using the SD card?

[vocal ember]

SD card only rn

[scarlet dome]

that's going to bottleneck hosting a minecraft server, even if you weren't doing anything else with the rpi

[vocal ember]

Never said anything about making a server…?

[plush forge]

afk'ing for gold works like a charm

[vocal ember]

Oh hell yea

What are the coords?

[plush forge]

Not the quickest thing in the world, but roughly two double chests of nuggets per 45 minutes without looting

Eeeehm don't know off the top of my head. But on the nether roof If you follow a line between my portal and the hole to the tunnel you'll find it. -180 200 or something

Still need to spawnproof to get the looting effect working properly.

[vocal ember]

Aight bet

[plush forge]

One thing, if you place things down, please cover them with glass blocks. Otherwise we'll have ghast spawns and the stuff isn't really blow up proof

[plush forge]

ah, wasn't too far off. Coords are -160 240 basically

[vocal ember]

Was too busy trying to download some stuff on my Raspberry Pi4, but will take a peek later

[plush forge]

yeah, it's there

i'll see if I can spawn proof a bit tonight

weekend has been madhouse

[vocal ember]

https://youtube.com/shorts/5aAC1WvKmrA?si=VnFBA_yQR808Y9ka

[vocal ember]

Tater house now has hella chests inside it. These chests contain cooked taters. As of rn the chest above the door has taters

[vocal ember]

Ok so I did the M A T H on the new tater stash

So the 25 double chests in the tater house should hold approximately 86,400 taters

There’s only one thing to do now: B I G G E R F A R M S

[raw gale]

More levels?

Also, put them into shulkers and then put the shulkers into a chest.

[vocal ember]

Mostly just expanding the second level

Idk by how much YET

[raw gale]

You could build some water-based auto-harvesting system. So you just have to replant.

[vocal ember]

Oooooooo good idea! Will have to build that sometime

[vocal ember]

Ok lemme math on this

Gimme a min

[raw gale]

Should be about a double chest of shulkers?

[vocal ember]

A single double chest worth of full stacks of potatoes is 93,312 potatoes

[plush forge]

villagers.

[vocal ember]

If all 25 chests are full like that, it’ll be 2,332,800 potatoes

[plush forge]

get a villager, give it 5 stacks of potatoes

and either run a minecart under it or have a secondary villager in a pod with hopper minecarts in front of it so suck up the taters as they get thrown

[vocal ember]

Oh boi

Love how you ALREADY have an idea for this

[plush forge]

yeah, it's self sufficient and pretty damn easy :)

just make sure it only has taters

otherwise you'll suddenly find yourself with wheat ;)

and I'm not a big fan of manual labour ;)

[vocal ember]

So ummmmm

Idk how to do ANY of that lol

[plush forge]

gimme a couple of minutes

[vocal ember]

Tbh I’m gonna trust you on building all that shit lol. If you want uncooked taters, there’s a semi automatic cooker just outside the tater house next to the farm

[plush forge]

hopper under the minecart. Villagers want to share food, so they'll throw it to the other. The minecart picks up the items into the hopper and then into a chest / shulker loader / smelter.

[vocal ember]

Of course you immediately made a concept idea

Just how far are villagers willing to travel to share?

Because if there’s no limit, might as well start with a 60x60 block farm

[plush forge]

dunno tbh

can't easily find a definite value of "away" but villagers tend to stay within 19 blocks of a workstation.

[vocal ember]

A workstation?

[plush forge]

composter, bookstand etc.

something that gives the villager a job

[vocal ember]

Oh ok nvm

Makes sense

Doesn’t farmers immediately compost the food tho, or…?

[plush forge]

thats why there's a block on top of the composter ;)

they see it, but can't reach it to compost

[vocal ember]

Fair lol

[plush forge]

if you only have one villager it'll harvest potatoes but won't be able to put them into its inventory. They are laying on the ground to be picked up by a hopper minecart then

both systems work fine

[vocal ember]

Whoever added the iron gollum’s at the tater house, THANK YOU

[raw gale]

Thought you might need some protection

[vocal ember]

thank you so much!

[plush forge]

@raw gale ah, so that's where my gear went.

[raw gale]

Looks stylish

[plush forge]

I know right? :)

[short lynx]

Praise the piglin!

[plush forge]

well, I didn't as he was stabbing me in the back tbh

[dire mirage]

You should check those machines

@short lynx, @raw gale and myself went on an inspection visit

As self-appointed PETA inspectors

We gave at least one of your death machine war crimes our seal of approval

Find the sign.

[plush forge]

You'll have to be a lot more specific

[fathom fulcrum]

What did the seal ever do to you?

[dire mirage]

The machine that is permanently animals screaming as they die.

[plush forge]

That hardly narrows it down

I've got three of those

[raw gale]

That we know of

[dire mirage]

Wrote the songs "Crazy", "Killer" and "Kiss from a Rose."

Unforgiveable.

[plush forge]

Hey, kiss from a rose is a good song

[fathom fulcrum]

Fair enough!

[dire mirage]

That sounds a lot like a wrong opinion.

[plush forge]

But that bartering setup better be used. It's cost me three stacks of rockets so far and I'm only halfway done with the outline :|

[plush forge]

Fun thing about opinions is that they are always right to someone

[dire mirage]

[plush forge]

Mods, help. I feel threatened :)

[dire mirage]

Good.

Mr. I have a Farm for literally everything.

Meanwhile I'm running out of oak half the time.

Once I figure out where you're making all this stuff, an invasion tunnel is being built.

[plush forge]

There's a hole between the portal and the villager shack

It'll drop you down to the tree farm

Should be some wood there

Just please make sure it's turned off before you leave

[dire mirage]

🤓

I will be a regular customer.

[vocal ember]

Hell yea

[vocal ember]

Villager shack?

[plush forge]

between the nether portal, the golem killing bathtub and the shed. Just in front of the bamboo farm.

[vocal ember]

Ohhhh

[vocal ember]

https://youtube.com/shorts/EvldFdQy_8U?si=HbzE7T9qijWfyqP0

[vocal ember]

So ummmmm

[plush forge]

Gheh..

It'll despawn eventually

[vocal ember]

Still cool tho

[plush forge]

does bring up the question: Is there a need for copper?

cause then we need a zombie in the end ;)

[vocal ember]

Should have some in our “misc” chest in the basement

[plush forge]

usually when I talk about a need, I mean renewable :)

although i'm not really looking forward to building another david

[short lynx]

Not urgent but I'll probably would use copper more as a building block if we had plenty of it

So up to you

[plush forge]

k, let me finish up the bartering sorters and i'll have a look to build something. Fair warning though, it'll be a lagfest if you render it in.

i'll try and built it out of the island chunks

[plush forge]

K, bartering is done ish

need one more sign :)

and two item frames

[vocal ember]

[plush forge]

but Paper does weird things with entities it seems, so it seems items get stuck on the ice tracks

[plush forge]

we have 'some' gravel now as well

it went through the backlog of gold

[plush forge]

it's quite the zombified piglin party at the portal yes.

[short lynx]

Lolol

[vocal ember]

Punch em and run into the portal

[vocal ember]

Thanks to your Villager slavery trading outpost, we got some chainmail armor @plush forge

[plush forge]

They are getting paid

So not slaves

[raw gale]

Are they there voluntarily?

[vocal ember]

Anyone got a spare singular diamond?

Wanna make an enchantment table

[raw gale]

You could use the one at spawn if you just need it for its function

[vocal ember]

Aight

Cant seem to find any,…

If anyone has any singular spare, plz place at the chest we placed at 437,193 under the sign

[raw gale]

Oh, I mean the enchanting table at spawn

Unless you need it in a different place

[vocal ember]

Oh shit lmfao

[vocal ember]

Basement of muh house lol

Dont me lol

I need it for……….. “reasons”

[plush forge]

I should have a few in a chest

[plush forge]

Right. All we need is a zombie to get into the copper farm and were good to go

[plush forge]

hmpf. something weird, zombies aren't pathfinding to a turtle egg. Another day tomorrow

[short lynx]

Maybe it's a paper thing?

[plush forge]

Probably just stupid pathfinding again. That's always broken somehow

[plush forge]

jup. Now to fix the collection area as I misbuilt everything by one block apparently. sigh

[short lynx]

Oh no

That's just the worst, oof

If you give me a bit of time, I can log in for a sec and move things with world edit

[plush forge]

well

it's probably not working anyway

but I have a double spawner I can misuse.

that would at least help with starting the farm :)

[short lynx]

Now I can't login however, maybe later or if not tomorrow 😦

[plush forge]

nah it's been dismantled already

[plush forge]

d'oh. In Hard difficulty, zombies can spawn additional zombies to "help" when damaged

so eehm.

any chance of upping the difficulty? :)

[short lynx]

Yeah, it's just a command to do so

But I'd like to ask people if they're ok with that

[plush forge]

Changes would be more damage from mobs and you are able to starve which isn't the case now

[raw gale]

I'm cool with it

[vocal ember]

https://www.ddinstagram.com/reel/C3XrRfTsxOG/?igsh=MXF6dHo4ZXZzeTEyMw==

[raw gale]

#meme

[plush forge]

hehehe

[dire mirage]

No memes in my Bellingcraft server!

[dire mirage]

Am cool with it too

[plush forge]

i'm not the one posting memes :P

[shell mortar]

👍

if you haven’t already

[short lynx]

Haven't, been busy with a lot of things

It's just changing a line

Actually, I think JK can also do it in game

[plush forge]

yeah, but on reboot it would reset probably

no rush

[vocal ember]

Not opposed to it over here

[dire mirage]

Not opposed either

[vocal ember]

As long as it makes the games S P I C I E R

[plush forge]

like said; little more damage from mobs and you can actually die from hunger

but it adds some things like the zombie reinforcements

[vocal ember]

Wdym by that?

[plush forge]

a zombie that's damaged can spawn reinforcements around them to help. There is a small chance of that. Also works on drowned.

and fun fact: A zombie can be converted into drowned

and drowned drop copper for instance.

but that only works on hard difficulty :)

and a lot of other goodies

[vocal ember]

oh hell yea @plush forge

[plush forge]

fun part: The farm part is done :)

[vocal ember]

There’s multiple farms lol

[prime cave]

Hello. I wanna to join. What is DM?

[plush forge]

message

[prime cave]

discord message?

[vocal ember]

“DM” is an abbreviation of “direct message”

[short lynx]

Alright, server difficulty upped to hard by popular demand, stay safe!

And @vocal ember you got a 7 day vacation for griefing. You've been warned several times and already got a timeout for it. Next time, no matter how small it is, it is permanent.

[vocal ember]

Aight

[plush forge]

Thanks erredece

I'll hook you up with some copper then ;)

[vocal ember]

There’s some in the “misc” chest in the basement over at the 442,184 house

At least should be. Needed the xp from smelting

[plush forge]

Let say I was preparing for 8 chests

[vocal ember]

Having a couple extra stacks should help, right?

[dire mirage]

@plush forge @raw gale @short lynx @vocal ember

directish underground connection between dakink's and my/jk's storage

Very quick way of getting between the two if you've an elytra

and even if you don't, it's a nice safe way of walking between dakink's and main base at night without risking getting jacked by creepers and zombies

It's 600ish long

and 4 x 4 = 16

9600 blocks + the stairs connection, probably like 12000 blocks moved

As for the map, the deforested map is now pretty well pathed

and has 2 spots where you can bridge across to land across the river (in time)

the one closest to @plush forge

a second path to dakink's one would be interesting

and could connect up to the village directly north of his

[plush forge]

As long as you stay ~20 blocks clear of the golem spawn pit it's fine with me. Shouldn't be anything else underground there

[dire mirage]

ah, this will all be overground

the other bridge spot, could bridge across to and then bridge across to the closer village

[dire mirage]

Who built this? @shell mortar @plush forge @short lynx @raw gale

(i like it, fwiw, just curious) 🙂

[shell mortar]

not me

i havent built anything for like.. a month

[dire mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/build-a-bridge-bridge-get-over-it-let-it-go-holly-logan-gif-17204368

lol

i built a couple elevators

this one by the portal

down to the tunnel to dakink's and my/jk's storage

and this one down to the weeb caves

[short lynx]

JK a while ago

[dire mirage]

a while ago in what sense?

earlier today?

[plush forge]

shaders go brrrr

[whole depot]

dam guys im exploring your tunnels im lost lols

[plush forge]

there are a lot yes

might be time for operation signpost
