The MafiaScum Minecraft Thread - AllTheMods 9!!! - NEW Vanilla?

[xRECKONERx]

Hmm, I have a PC now... Minecraft could be played...

But do I really need another addiction?

[xRECKONERx]

Reck, what are your current addictions? MC can be a light addiction if you just walk around the server from time to time, and add to someone else´s buildings instead of making everything by yourself.

Now is a good time to join, if you like assembing stuff, the new mod just brought the ability to move solid blocks automatically, which opens all sorts of new possibilities.

LoL + minecraft + TF2 + I just got Terraria & Valve Complete Pack

[xRECKONERx]

I just got the trial of Minecraft from the Humble Indie Bundle tonight and I have no clue what I'm doing. At all. I know nothing about this game. username reckonerX

[xRECKONERx]

Reck -- I would love to help teaching you the ropes. Feel free to ping me on AIM when you go play.

I'll take you up on that tonight after I get home from work. I dicked around for like ten minutes last night and figured out how to make wood planks, a workbench, and a stick. That's it.

[xRECKONERx]

someone should buy this for me so I can play again

[xRECKONERx]

*twitch*

why does this keep getting bumped

no, I'm staying away

I already have LoL/SC2/Skyrim/Skywawrd Sword/TOR coming out

can't handle Minecraft too

no

[xRECKONERx]

If I had dollars I'd buy Minecraft and start playing with you guys but I don't so I dodged that bullet

[xRECKONERx]

My friend convinced me to buy this game last night >.<

Now I just need to do it.

[xRECKONERx]

wait wtf? what are you guys doing

[xRECKONERx]

nvm Google OP

[xRECKONERx]

So Grimm & I have Minecraft now and we want to start playing, but I feel like jumping onto a preexisting server would be really overwhelming and might kill the experience (similar to how Chronopie mining all of the MS.net Terraria server killed my fun). So, is there an easy way for Brock & I to run a multiplayer server that's constantly up? I have no clue how to do that.

[xRECKONERx]

We have a modest little house with a 13x11 wheat farm out front. Mined way down in the basement and found diamond. How does one go about mining obsidian? Also what kind of stuff exists in this game line terraria...are there any world bosses or anything?

[xRECKONERx]

To mine obsidian you need a diamond pick (also in case you don't know yet, obsidian can be made when you put water over a lava source block (so not flowing but standing still basically). The only boss right now is the Enderdragon, but in 1.4 there will be a new boss mob called the Wither boss (or something like that).

I could not figure out how to generate obsidian. It just kept turning into stone

[xRECKONERx]

Is the server down?

[xRECKONERx]

I'm getting a Connection Lost error. Failed to login: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: *gibberish*

[xRECKONERx]

wtf

[xRECKONERx]

goddammit just when i got done with my paper and could finally play

[xRECKONERx]

how long will this take to fix? >_>

[xRECKONERx]

still error'd

brock & I are playing via LAN fine though

[xRECKONERx]

i dunno im still getting the same error on the ms server and when I tried to connect to my Server.exe it gave me an error instead

then I did a LAN game and boom no problems

[xRECKONERx]

Minecraft multiplayer sessions:

Offline

goddammit

[xRECKONERx]

Sigh

[xRECKONERx]

It's apparently fixed now.

[xRECKONERx]

getting to bed now

i was able to complete my automated wheat farm and my automated sugar cane farm tonight

the reck & grimm lovenest is coming along quite nicely. i think my next project is going to be the pumpkin farm, and then I'll get to dig in the abandoned mineshaft beneath the house

should anyone wanna leave us some housewarming presents (thanks Xalxe & Maestro), walk out onto the obs deck at the vineyard spawn and you can see the house in the distance

[xRECKONERx]

oh btw I just did Rhinox's maze in Spawntown and took the last stack of prizes outta the box

[xRECKONERx]

DOES MAZE 3 EVEN HAVE AN ENDING?

WTF

[xRECKONERx]

yeah this is psychological warfare

is maze 3 broken or is everyone SURE there's an ending we can actually find?

cuz me/maru/grimm/maestro have been searching for a long ass time

[xRECKONERx]

no here's the thing

Brock & I have followed the entire maze by just clinging to the lefthand side, which, mathematically, should take you through all possible routes in the maze. We just made it back to the start.

[xRECKONERx]

Fuck this maze.

[xRECKONERx]

gaize halp where are slimes

[xRECKONERx]

I FINISHED MY MELLON AND PUMPKIN FARM AND IT'S GLORIOUS. SCREENSHOTS COMING SOON

[xRECKONERx]

@Claus: What's our seed number? I found a place that can find slimes on your server but I need level.dat file or a seed #.

Also... what's the reasoning behind ten people being the cap on the server? Is it the harddrive space? It might be possible for me to set up an old computer we have around here to be a dedicated server or something if that's the case. Not sure, I'd have to look into it.

[xRECKONERx]

Everytime I press the F2 key to take a screenshot, I get a memory error and it kicks me out to the title screen. WTF?

[xRECKONERx]

Also, is it possible to move lava and create a "river" kinda like you can do with water?

[xRECKONERx]

okay, now when we try to mine dirt outside the house the blocks are immediately filling back up...

[xRECKONERx]

MY BUCKETS ARE PERMANENTLY FULL OF LAVA. I CANNOT GET RID OF IT.

I PUT IT DOWN, IT EMPTIES, NEXT TIME I RIGHT CLICK WITH MY BUCKET THERE'S LAVA IN IT. WHAT THE FUCK.

[xRECKONERx]

we both just tried quitting the game and reloading it. no luck.

how do i "allocate more memory to java"?

EDIT: ok, can screenshot & mine shit now, still have the neverendinglavabucket

[xRECKONERx]

PHOTO ALBUM INCOMING.

[xRECKONERx]

Reck & Grimm's First 24 Hours of Minecraft: The Photo Album

The Melon & Pumpking Farm (aka Reck's Pride & Joy)

This is the setup when the plants are fully grown.


A lever on the righthand side of the room activates a series of sticky pistons that harvest all the crops.


Another lever turns

off

the eight sticky pistons up top, letting water rush down and push the crops forward

(still trying to figure out if there's a build I can do to stop it from destroying the stems)

The water carries all the melons & pumpkins into neat little stacks that can be picked up at the front of the room.

The Wheat Farm

Here's the basic setup...



...and there's Grimm releasing the floodgates to harvest the wheat & push it all to the front of the room!

The Sugar Cane Farm

It's not much, it only harvests about 28 sugarcane at a time.


...but pushing that button and watching them all shatter never gets old!

Grimm's Garden Dome

Grimm made a glass-enclosed dome. Good place to relax and get some peace of mind.


It even has a bench!


Nice view.

The Lovenest

Come have a sit with us in front of the fireplace!


THE NONA-OVEN


Our fiery hallway to the Pumpkin & Melon Farm (still under construction, I really just wanted lava under there )


A parting shot from the front of the house!

I'm having so much fun. I want to get our pastures/animals in order, then I'll probably work on building a library/enchanting room. Grimm & I are already working on plans to make a maze of our own, so hopefully we'll get to do that, too.

[xRECKONERx]

I'll take a look at that launcher.

Also if anyone with a better grasp of water physics wants to look at the pumpkin farm and try to come up with a way that the water won't destroy the stems that's be cool. I hate having to replant every time, makes me cannibalize my poor crops for seeds.

[xRECKONERx]

However, it would be pretty easy to rig it up so that the dirt pushes up, the water pushes all the crops forward, and the dirt retracts again after the water drains away.

wow, duh. just dont push the crop lever again until post-water

im dumb

[xRECKONERx]

gaize halp where are slimes

Pretty sure they're all in my jungle temple, trampling on my wheat. That's what they're usually up to.

Gimme coordinates! I'd love to go harvest some slimes

[xRECKONERx]

By the way, Xalxe, my friend you said you'd whitelist: dvance91

[xRECKONERx]

You warned me. He probably won't even play that much

[xRECKONERx]

Yes people being dicks and stealing stuff is bad but my god don't pull the I'M SERVING MAH CUNTREE card please

[xRECKONERx]

The Reck & Grimm Glass Maze (aka Maze #5) is 25% DONE!

Here's a sneak peek at what's to come...

[xRECKONERx]

Jesus Reck. Just...Jesus. What will be zhe prize?

that's up to YOUR GLORIOUS MODERATORS

[xRECKONERx]

50% done now! That's roughly 800-1000 blocks of the maze done, somewhere in that range

MAYBE I'll finish this tonight.

[xRECKONERx]

THE MAZE IS DONE!

We would love for a wonderful mod to get on and maybe put some prizes at the end? (Xalxe said he'd do it but I'm guessing he's asleep)

I can PM people the coordinates. Also, we need a mod to change the endsign of maze 4 to redirect to this one!

[xRECKONERx]

Nope. Nothing in particular -- maybe something fitting the theme of a "glass house"? I'm not up to date on what possible prizes could be, so go wild.

Izak, can you hop on? I can show you the maze entrance?

And yeah, end sign can be modified by anyone, but I can't be arsed to traverse the Nether and complete Maze 4 again

[xRECKONERx]

I need a new project.

I could go mine for diamonds but I've almost mined out the entire abandoned mineshaft beneath the lovenest

[xRECKONERx]

I JUST WALKED IN MY HOUSE TO FIND A NETHER-ZOMBIE IN IT

WHAT THE FUCK

[xRECKONERx]

Ah.

[xRECKONERx]

any idea when 1.4 is dropping?

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah, I just about blew up half of spawn town when I turned around and came face to face with a creeper

[xRECKONERx]

I killed the thing before he blew up

[xRECKONERx]

Oh the library dome is finished at the love nest!

[xRECKONERx]

Maze 3 is a bag of dicks. That's the underground one with the TROLOLOLOLOL signs everywhere.

Maze 4 is pretty simple, though obviously not EASY. But anything feels easy after doing Maze 3.

[xRECKONERx]

you are too good at mazes imo imo

ALSOOOOOOOOOOOOO the library skydome is completed at the lovenest so if anyone's in the vinelands and needs to enchant, head upstairs to the glass domes and it's there

i think the next project is going to be building a railway from the spawn point to our house (or possibly just doing the Vineland Rail Station idea that UT had)



i want to start construction in Vineland to make it look more...populated...when you warp in

[xRECKONERx]

Brock and I competed our rail. Come visit.

[xRECKONERx]

Maze 5 isn't all I wanted it to be, but I just

had

to get it done in one sitting.

I suppose I could always expand it and add that second floor I wanted to add, but *meh*, maybe I'll do that for the next maze.

I did have an idea for a four-story maze but it'd basically just be updownleftright with ladders at some of the dead ends.

[xRECKONERx]

Maybe you should say "go to sleep please" instead of just going "zzzzzzzzz" and expecting people to understand what the fuck you're talking about

[xRECKONERx]

Fuck you all I'm nuking spawntown

[xRECKONERx]

Thanks, Maestro! I actually found a bunch of sheep today, too, so the rainbow front lawn in front of the lovenest can begin construction

Oh and to whoever went into my pumpkin/melon farm and broke open the blocks causing it to flood... fuck you

[xRECKONERx]

I thought they can't spawn in well-lit areas?

[xRECKONERx]

....Wat


I am already building a fully automatic one where you only have one single departure rail.

get on it

[xRECKONERx]

I'm curious as well

[xRECKONERx]

Wtf

[xRECKONERx]

I mean we throw around a lot of expletives, or at least I do.

[xRECKONERx]

i got so close to beating the gauntlet

[xRECKONERx]

He was online, and he said I got further than anyone else and was really close to beating it. I got past the continuous "floor falls out beneath you" part, then died on the next part (which is something like a steep downward staircase).

[xRECKONERx]

not much progress on that there train station eh

[xRECKONERx]

I'd be fine trying to do that.

[xRECKONERx]

grimm just logged in to find that our farms had been recently harvested, so...whoever you are, please just ask or something first

[xRECKONERx]

our sheep were recently sheered too

[xRECKONERx]

oh and ALL OF OUR EGGS FROM OUR CHICKEN PENS WERE GONE

[xRECKONERx]

can't we check who logged in right before me/grimm did?

[xRECKONERx]

Wait for bukkit

[xRECKONERx]

guys i just spent 5.5 hours doing a maze in one sitting waht

Maze 6 aka Reck's Terrible Tower is completed and you're all welcome to go do it! If you've completed Maze 5 I can give you the coordinates but there aren't prizes yet. PMing Xalxe/izak/Claus the entrance coordinates now so they can put shit in the chest if they want

my god i don't even

this maze took me so long and i have class in 6 hours goodnight

[xRECKONERx]

I know that I will need 2 beacons. So maybe, yea, put wither skulls in reck's maze.

that maze is cake. put it in Rhinox's 3d maze

new maze d00d

[xRECKONERx]

Reck, what do you want in Maze 6? Are there any new blocks in 1.4 that we could add (other than a beacon which NOPE)

what about either some Item Frames? That, uhh, also maybe Flower Pots/Nether Stars/some stacks of new plants (carrots & potatoes)?

i dunno, i could live with Cocoa Beans stacks, too

[xRECKONERx]

I dunno if the glass maze is still functional, I know Grimm was working on some cosmetic changes

[xRECKONERx]

So, in celebration of 1.4, anyone up for Minotaur this weekend or next?

whoa that's cool

[xRECKONERx]

I'm in for Minotaur tonight

[xRECKONERx]

I'm dicking around with beacons in 1.4 on a CSP world and I can't for the life of me get them to activate.

I'm toying around with them for the idea of creating an elaborate "king of the hill" arena where people need to stay in range of the beacons to score points, but I'm trying to figure out the logistics of that, if anyone wants to dick around with the idea or help me out, let me know.

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah, does the pyramid have to be solid the whole way through?

Also I don't think there's a way to get the beacon to score points.

[xRECKONERx]

Command block?

[xRECKONERx]

http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/150 ... nloadable/

how did they do it??

[xRECKONERx]

wait, shit, I already updated to 1.4, I can't get on the MS server?

[xRECKONERx]

meh

Bukkit 1.4 should be out within the next 4-5 days, I can live with the downtime I guess

e: maybe not that soon, hmm

what do we lose by not waiting for bukkit, exactly? Do we lose /warp functionality?

[xRECKONERx]

i don't know what that fucking means since i haven't played much SP which is why i asked

[xRECKONERx]

hummm, i need a project :S

the mazes might be good and all but... i get a little tired. i made my farms and now idk... i guess i could build a new house at some new place but meh

[xRECKONERx]

yep, the well jump kills me at least 50% of the time

[xRECKONERx]

So wait..new server? Will we lose everything we built?

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah I'm glad I stopped playing.

[xRECKONERx]

I miss you guys.

[xRECKONERx]

Logging in for the first time in months, I don't see anyone online

[xRECKONERx]

The rail station never got completed, nobody's online, buhhh. Boring.

[xRECKONERx]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afcudstM ... e=youtu.be

[xRECKONERx]

wait what is happening?

Trying to convince Ythan to download Minecraft and then we might both play

[xRECKONERx]

wait you're gonna wipe the server?

[xRECKONERx]

yo why am i not whitelisted on the vanilla server anymore

[xRECKONERx]

Wait so everything I built is gone? =(

[xRECKONERx]

I'm gonna blame Maruchan. Or whoever didn't make a backup.

[xRECKONERx]

Hmmm.

Bored and off work for awhile. Should I play for a few days? My old house is gone now If I've read this thread correctly

[xRECKONERx]

LOLWTF

Also, just a heads-up: I said this rather rudely in IRC, but basically my point was that people who played on the last Vanilla server should understand that I don't have the whitelist from that server. I've said as much several times in-thread. All I ask is that instead of posting on here or in IRC asking why you aren't whitelisted or asking to be whitelisted, understand that if you hadn't been on the current Vanilla before I reinstalled the whitelist, you WON'T be whitelisted. Just give me your UN again and you'll be in. I'd rather do it preemptively; I don't want to have to do it AFTER you you find out you aren't whitelisted because you haven't been keeping up on the thread.

Add me n Grimm

xRECKONERx
Grimm0325

[xRECKONERx]

Is anyone still playing this on the nonmodded server?

[xRECKONERx]

wait i wanna be whitelisted! I dunno if I'll play regularly but I want the option

[xRECKONERx]

How far along is the new server?

[xRECKONERx]

UT GO WITH ME

[xRECKONERx]

Aronis, are you online? I've been on all night and haven't seen you...

[xRECKONERx]

also I FORGOT HOW FUCKING FRUSTRATING REDSTONE IS

[xRECKONERx]

me/UT are making good progress on Cocktopia on vanilla

would loooove to see more people

[xRECKONERx]

Also I really can't figure out why my pumpkins aren't growing

[xRECKONERx]

Also I really can't figure out why my pumpkins aren't growing

make sure there's adequate dirt blocks surrounding it.

Yep, it's surrounded on both sides by dirt.

[xRECKONERx]

AFAIK, a player actively loads a 3x3 chunk area around their position. Unless he, or someone else, is in the area for the entire growth cycle, he won't see any changes.

What? They only grow if you're around them? What the fuck?

[xRECKONERx]

Well, that's not how it used to work, because I built a melon farm on the old vanilla server and would just stop by to harvest it every hour or so and they grew fine on their own.

[xRECKONERx]

It completely fucking defeats the purpose of HAVING A FARM if you have to stand in it the entire time.

[xRECKONERx]

So crops only grow if you're near them. If you go mining, tough shit, you won't have any crops to come back to?

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah so then my thing should be working.

[xRECKONERx]

I think it's like -761, 1580... just go to that area and look for the giant tower in the sky, that's where UT and I have started building Cocktopia.

[xRECKONERx]

I wish I had slimes for sticky pistons. That was going to be my original design.

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah there are like a billion horses near Cocktopia.

[xRECKONERx]

for the love of god i cant find slimes anywhere. I need to make sticky pistons SO BAD. PLEASE HELP

[xRECKONERx]

I have FINALLY finished my completely automatic, hands-off pumpkin/melon farm!

UT & I will continue construction on the tower, but I am very tempted to make a maze...

[xRECKONERx]

Also, I put some stuff in my oven to cook, got back, still cooking with no progress. I wish things kept going when you weren't there.

[xRECKONERx]

@UT: The tree farm is functional. Enclosure/ease of access remains to be completed, but you can see it in action.

HOW TO USE:
- Go up ladder at entrance to the top and load bonemeal into double chest (ideally we could always just have this completely stocked and have to reload it like once in a blue moon).
- Come back down and go across to the lever. Pull the lever. You'll hear an annoying CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK sound if you did it properly.
- Stand at the entry hole between the two chests and, with a sapling out, just start spamming right click.

The machine will dispense bonemeal onto the sapling until it grows 7 blocks high. Pistons then crush the leaves on it, and any saplings fall down into a floor of hoppers that collect the saplings in the chests beside you. Another set of pistons pushes the tree stack out of the center and around the corner. I have a massive storage system in place but need to figure out the best way to allow harvest access.

Anyone is free to stop by and see the damn thing, it took me 3.5 hours to make. >_> We would love any donations of bonemeal, polished Andesite, glass, or signs.

Oh, and mind the area right by the front of Cocktopia... the first maze on the new server is coming! But I only got about halfway done laying down the glass floor so there's just a massive firey death pit over there.

[xRECKONERx]

Not sure. You can take the nether portal from spawntown then take the pathway up to Cocktopia though

[xRECKONERx]

I might be back on in a bit, playing LoL

[xRECKONERx]

My. Brain. Fucking. Hurts.

I just finished work on a pretty huge maze... I think it's something like ~4000 blocks? I ended up blocking myself in while finishing it and it took me 25 minutes to find my way out. Lol. I'm going to finish the roofing/cosmetics/victory room tomorrow...

@MODS: Any way we can get some sort of prizes put in chests at the end of the maze?

That's what we did on the old server and it was really great

[xRECKONERx]

Nobody do it yet, need to put some finishing touches on it

[xRECKONERx]

You can check cocktopia, there are a shitload of cows in our pen

[xRECKONERx]

I know last time we had Mossy Cobblestone stacks, cookies, and item frames. Can't remember the other prizes.

PEDIT: That would be very cool.

[xRECKONERx]

I think it should be up to maze maker though.

STAXX OF DIAMONDS YO

[xRECKONERx]

This maze's theme is ladders, claustrophobia, and fire.

[xRECKONERx]

No, it's just a maze.

It's not quite as challenging as I would've liked to make it... took me like 7 minutes to complete. But given what happened last server, I'm expecting several more mazes to crop up after this one, increasing in difficulty. After a few other people have made their maze and I've had ample time to collect the ingredients, I'm going to make the redstone maze from hell.

[xRECKONERx]

I don't get it. Pumpkins SHOULD grow even if there's no space above the stem! That's how my old farm worked

[xRECKONERx]

that's awesome

[xRECKONERx]

hmmmmm

[xRECKONERx]

are me/grimm whitelisted? I wanna start playing again

[xRECKONERx]

uhhh i have no clue what server it was. i think there was only 1 back when i played

[xRECKONERx]

i want to play again but i lose motivation every time im about to download it bc im like "oh wow there's already so much developed probably what else is there for me to do"

[xRECKONERx]

who do yall use to host

[xRECKONERx]

just wondering...looking at hosting my own server for work peeps and podcast fans and didnt know the deal

[xRECKONERx]

hmmm. with social distancing, this might be fun again.

yeah those are dope haschel

[xRECKONERx]

I don't care if our server is personal or w/e. I just want an active server
