But you two were talking about it in the IRC. Seems kinda melodramatic...but whatev.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I'm kind of in love with this video.



Here's the resource pack: http://www.minecraftprojects.net/texture-packs/ozocraft

[Maruchan]

I want the map he shows off!

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I KNOW. ME TOO. IT IS SO FUCKING AWESOME.

Would you guys consider a nether railway useful? So far stations would be at my village, spawn area, desert/jungle portal, and ice spike portal.

I ask because my nether road was going to have rail and be extended to the mentioned portals, but it would require some work to become pigman-proof, and isn't exactly pretty looking.

I'd have made my life easier if I'd have just went with a 1x2 tunnel instead of 3x3, but 1x2 always just seems so claustrophobic . If I keep it a walkway only I can save resources and I wouldn't have to extend it to the other portals since paths already exist to there.

I was actually considering that, since we are going to be going further and further out, and having a railway system in the nether would be better than a far larger one in the overworld.

I think what may be better is some sort of Hub. I'd hate for us to make all these railways then have to reroute them all through a hub, so if we do it, it should be done soon.

What did you have in mind for a hub?

My road/rail is more a trans-nether highway than a way to get directly to everyone's portals like a hub system. They can both work together I think?

Probably. And i didn't have much in mind for a hub, I hoped somebody would jump on the idea.

[Rhinox]

Anyways, this is what I need to do to pigman proof my road:





Basically, the outside emergency walkways have to be changed from blocks to slabs, and the rail has to have a solid+transparent block like a glass pane or something else you don't suffocate in (glowstone, fence, half slab, etc) to make sure there is only a 1-block high space above the rail, because pigmen can spawn on top of rails and every block rails can be placed on. Its not very elegant or particularly aesthetically pleasing, but its what needs to be done to have a functional rail in the nether that isn't constantly blocked by pigmen. Probably would have been easier with a 1x2 tunnel but I hate 1x2 tunnels

See below, you just phase through the transparent blocks in the minecart without taking damage. Ramps need to be even more creative with gates and activator rails to work. Pain in the ass really which is why I was asking whether people would actually like to use the rail system. Not really worth it to do it if nobody will use it.

[Bulbazak]

Have the hub hook through Bag End. Rhinox, I'll help you with the rail system after the End run if you'd like.

[izakthegoomba]

I'd be very happy to "jump on the idea" of building the nether hub. Since I'm kind of messing around not knowing what to do about my own home, I'd like to work on a project for the community.

Does a top-of-nether hub with, say, 12 railway stations attached sound good? We could always expand it downwards if we need more later.

[izakthegoomba]

Ok, I just built a simple minecart deployment thing that we could use in the hub. I've stolen Rhinox's block combination for now (netherbrick/cobble), but I'm open to other ideas.

Spoiler: pics

[Pizzadudes7]

Go for sandstone and netherbrick. Other possible blocks can be wool, quartz, stone brick (definitely use this over cobble), and maybe even some birch wood. Just some suggestions as I feel netherbrick and cobble aren't really all that good looking IMHO.

[Klazam]

I vote stome brick. Let me know if any help is needed to procure materials

[Tierce]

Sandstone is terrible. If for some reason someone is in the vicinity of the railway path and gets hit by a ghast, there goes the pretty setup. Wood isn't much better because, you know, flammable materials in the Nether.

If you can handle the endless smelting, I have no problem with the rest, neither do I have a problem with cobble for this purpose.

[Xalxe]

I have a double chest full of cobble I don't need which I would be more than happy to donate to the Nether project.

[Rhinox]

Yeah I meant to say something about the wood tunnel to the spawn portal in the nether, but well it hasn't burnt up yet #YOLOLOLO

Izak I really like that look to your tunnel with the nether brick and stone brick. I'd love to do my tunnels like that if I could, but I don't know if I can handle all that smelting... And it takes 4x the coal/charcoal to make nether brick as other smelted blocks.

Hardened clay isn't exactly easy to get either, but just wanted to throw it out as an option (if it is ghast-proof?) since it can be stained different colors.

And Tierce pointed out to me that mobs are supposed to be afraid of rails so the glass on top of the rails might not be needed? I haven't been able to confirm or deny on the internet anywhere yet, so I was just planning on throwing my rails down without the glass and seeing if I ever find any pigmen standing on them. Just need to ghast-proof my road first, don't want ghasts destroying any rails.

-----------------------

In unrelated news, I'm also building an obsidian generator that will convert redstone to obsidian. Some people may consider it cheating, but I don't since you still need to use resources to get the obby, and you still need diamond to mine the obby blocks (not to mention the devs left the 'bug' in as a feature for many updates now). I'll let you guys know when its ready and where it is. I was gonna build it in my village but I might build it near spawn so more people have convenient access.

A nether railway station?
Aren't we going to build one in the overworld? I love riding through the scenery

[Klazam]

I'd honestly prefer this.

I already started one from my place to spawn.

[Tierce]

Overworld is much longer. Not everyone has access to the admin console, Klaz--or, frankly, the patience to ride in a minecart for a long time. That is far too many rails.

If anyone wants to: I've found a skeleton spawner, but I don't particularly want to make a farm. Anyone with the skills and patience, let me know--because if that farm happens, I'll work on a nanofarm for crops (need the resulting bonemeal!).

[Klazam]

I am not op. I do not cheat stuff in.

Tierce, I'd love to make skel farm. coords?

[Tierce]

Awesome! I'll give them to you when I wake up.

[Klazam]

Awesome! I'll give them to you when I wake up.

Really I'm only building my rail to get from my place to spawn and to the extreme west places baldeagle is exploring to (ice spikes, mesa eventually), and to where ever far east I explore to. It really is just intended to be an east-west trans-nether highway.

If people want to build nether or overworld rails to anywhere, what I'm working on doesn't have to be part of the system. I like overworld too but I'd need 8 times as many rails and other resources to build a railway from my village to spawn in the overworld, and 8 times the time to do the necessary grading and extra time to make nice looking bridges/elevation for the rail to keep them mob proof, and I'm not ready to tackle that project yet.
